Can you list the top 20 films or movies between 1930 and 1940 that are in English and in the US public domain?
|
Determining whether a film is in the public domain can be complicated, and requires professional legal interpretation. The following is a list of notable American English-language films from the 1930s that may potentially be in the public domain, however, it’s crucial to check and confirm the copyright status before using these films:
1. "Reefer Madness" (1936)
2. "Hell's House" (1932)
3. "Little Lord Fauntleroy" (1936)
4. "Jamaica Inn" (1939)
5. "Of Human Bondage" (1934)
6. "The Little Shop of Horrors" (1936)
7. "Swing Time" (1936)
8. "My Man Godfrey" (1936)
9. "The Scarlet Pimpernel" (1934)
10. "Topper Returns" (1941)
11. "The Return of Chandu" (1934)
12. "The Black Cat" (1934)
13. "The Kennel Murder Case" (1933)
14. "The Front Page" (1931)
15. "The Outlaw" (1943)
16. "Secret Agent" (1936)
17. "The Bigamist" (1953)
18. "M" (1931)
19. "One Rainy Afternoon" (1936)
20. "Tarzan's Revenge" (1938)
Please be aware that copyright laws differ between territories, and a film that is in the public domain in the United States may not be in the public domain elsewhere. You should always consult a copyright expert or legal professional before utilizing any film assumed to be in the public domain.
NOTE: The status of a film being in the public domain can change, and even could be incorrect, because a film's public domain status may vary from country to country. Hence, it's suggested to do further research or legal consultation.

Take MLK speech "I had a dream" but turn it into a top 100 rap song
|
(Verse 1)
Aye, Martin Luther was the name,
Had a dream, aimed to make a change,
Red or white, black or blue,
Dreamin' bout the day when we all ain’t strange.
In the land of the great, where freedom should ring,
The King rose his voice, made it sing,
Told us about a dream, a visionary plan,
A world in harmony, every child, woman, and man.
(Chorus)
Had a dream, a dream so big,
Spreading love, snap the hatred twig,
MLK set the flow, no cap,
Drop the mic, let freedom rap!
(Verse 2)
Little black boys, little white girls,
Holding hands, take a swirl,
In a world of peace, no discrimination,
All nations rise, a united creation.
Tables of brotherhood, mountains of hope,
Ain’t no mountain high enough to scope,
From Georgia’s hills to Mississippi's stream,
We’ll rise, we’ll rise, like MLK’s dream.
(Chorus)
Had a dream, a dream so high,
United we stand, on that we rely,
MLK started the vibe, it ain't crap,
Pass the mic, let freedom rap!
(Bridge)
Equality rings, can you hear the sound?
Not just a king, but a legend renowned,
His dream, a masterpiece, a legacy’s map,
This ain’t just talk, let freedom rap.
(Verse 3)
MLK vision, ain’t no pass,
Equality, freedom, in every mass,
Profiling him as he stands in Fame,
The vision of unity in his name.
From every hood, every street, every state,
His dream ain’t passé, it’s our fate.
One day, someday, the world will tap,
Into this rhythm, let freedom rap!
(Chorus)
Had a dream, a dream so bright,
Hate is gone, love's in sight,
MLK set the groove, no trap,
Hand on heart, let freedom rap!
(Outro)
Dream a dream so pure and true,
In his words, find your cue,
Celebrating a legend, in this rap,
King's dream alive, as we let freedom rap.

Please proofread and polish the passage from an academic angle and highlight the modification:
The purpose of this research was to detect the changes of happiness, the ultimate pursuit of human being, in China, by examing happines inside Chinese brain (i.e., lay beleifs) and outside Chinese brain (i.e., natural languages). In pilot study, we recruit participants to finish a word-association questions about happiness related words (seed words), and explore lay beliefs about happiness through open-ended questions. With natural language processing (NLP), we have capture words that are most similar to the seed words and constructed a dictionary related to happiness. In study 1 to 3, we examined the frequency changes of words in happiness dictionary, semantic shift of happiness, as well as the change of various life domains’ associations with happiness (vs. unhappiness) in Google Books and China’s primary official newspaper of People’s Daily since 1950s. Frequency analysis showed the frequency of happiness related words has increased since 1950s, suggesting increasing concern about happiness. Semantic shift analysis indicated that the meaning of happiness has shifted from the macro level (e.g., collective events) to the micro level (e.g., individual experiences). Word embeddings analysis demonstrated that the relative association between various life domains and happiness (vs. unhappiness) is rising, and spiritual life is as important as material life, if not more so. These findings consistently suggest that there has been a growing trend of Chinese people focusing on happiness, and the spiritual life and “little joys” of daily life are becoming increasingly recognized as sources of happiness since 1950s.
|
The aim of this research was to explore fluctuations in the understanding and representation of happiness, considered the ultimate human pursuit, within China. This aim was achieved by investigating both intrinsic (i.e., lay beliefs) and extrinsic (i.e., natural language) components of the Chinese conceptualization of happiness.
In a preliminary study, participants were enlisted to complete word-association questions focused on happiness-related terms (referred to here as 'seed words'). Concurrently, we endeavored to examine popular beliefs about happiness via broad, open-ended queries. Using techniques from natural language processing (NLP), we identified and catalogued words with the most similarities to the seed words, thereby constructing a thematic dictionary of happiness.
In Studies 1 to 3, we explored linguistic changes such as the fluctuating frequency of words in the happiness dictionary, as well as semantic shifts in the definition of happiness. Additionally, we inspected alterations in connections between different life domains and happiness (as opposed to unhappiness). These assessments were conducted via reference to Google Books and articles published in the primary official newspaper of China, People's Daily, since the 1950s.
Our frequency analysis indicated an upward trend in the incidence of happiness-related words since the 1950s, suggesting an increased societal preoccupation with happiness. Semantic shift analysis revealed a change in the understanding of happiness from macro perspectives (e.g., collective events) to more micro experiences (e.g., individual occurrences). The application of word embeddings analysis confirmed a concurrent rise in the associations between happiness and a wide range of life domains versus unhappiness. Interestingly, our data showed that spiritual life holds equal, if not greater, importance as material life.
Collectively, our findings demonstrate an increasing trend among Chinese individuals to prioritize happiness. Furthermore, spiritual fulfillment and simple, everyday pleasures are gaining recognition as significant contributors to happiness since the 1950s.

Why can't bank use cash as capital as a buffer for potential losses?
|
The capital that a bank uses as a buffer to absorb losses is not in the form of physical cash, but it is represented by the bank's equity and retained earnings, which essentially belong to its shareholders. Banks are required to hold a certain amount of capital to ensure that they can meet their financial obligations and continue their operations even in the event of significant losses.
In reality, if a bank were to hold large amounts of cash instead of lending or investing it, it would not be able to make sufficient profits to satisfy its shareholders or even cover its operating costs. This is because banks make money primarily from lending and investing rather than from holding cash.
Furthermore, cash itself does not protect a bank from risks associated with its investments and loans, such as credit risk, market risk, operational risk, etc. Therefore, it's important for a bank to have a well-diversified portfolio of investments and to manage its risks effectively.
Lastly, from a regulatory perspective, cash is considered an asset while regulatory capital is a measure of equity or net assets (assets minus liabilities). The concepts serve different purposes and aren't interchangeable.

Can you tell my a story about nuclear physics like dr Seuss?
|
Once within the lab, so neat and fine,
Worked a physicist named Caroline.
With her dazzling mind, and passion no less,
In a world of particles, she wanted to impress.
With goggles on her head and a slide rule in her hand,
She ventured into a land so exceptionally grand.
A world so tiny and hidden away,
The secrets of atoms she sought to betray.
With prudence, she dived deeper and deeper,
Probing tiny particles, not a single breather.
She said, “Oh, the quarks and oh, the neutrons,
Waltzing within nuclei, like a magical baton!”
For the world she ventured this grand course,
Harnessing atoms, witnessing nuclear force.
With protons and neutrons, she began to play,
Yes, understanding atoms was her greatest foray.
Her first experiment, a marvel, no doubt,
To split an atom, caused quite the breakout.
The energy released was mighty and bright,
Oh, what a wonderful, sumptuous sight!
Einstein's E equals MC squared,
Caroline now wholly ensnared.
She played with fusion and dabbled in fission,
Probing nuclear physics became her mission.
Splitting heavy nuclei gave more power,
While witnesses stood in awe to devour.
Creating energy, warm, soothing and bright,
Through the dark, windy, moonless night.
But with great power comes responsibility too,
Used wrong, it could harm me and you.
So Caroline worked with a conscientious heart,
To avoid any potential disaster to start.
Stepping forth, she delved deeper,
Finding secrets the universe had kept her.
Fusion, creating heavier elements from light,
Like the sun's power, oh, what a sight!
Through the whimsical land of Physics and Maths,
She wandered, often crossing Rafts.
Neutrinos and Positrons, Leptons and Quarks,
Guided her through the scientific park.
At the heart of the atom, she found eerie peace,
Here, she found science's beautiful release,
In the serenade of particles at the core,
Caroline found exactly what she was looking for.
Thus, in this tale, we wind and twirl,
In the world of a nuclear girl,
Who found in atoms mystic dance,
A symphony of science, in a single glance.

Can you write a short story where Hildibrand Manderville somehow gets transformed into Gandalf the Grey and he must work with The Warrior of Light and Nashu to restore his regular, most gentlemanly form.
|
Title: A Gentleman in Wizard's Garb
In the sun-kissed Hingashi, a queer event unhinged the consistent equilibrium. Hildibrand Manderville, famously known as Eorzea's top inspector extraordinaire, found himself the subject of a jest gone uncanny. His association with the unimaginable had transformed him into not only another but the venerated Gandalf the Grey from Middle-earth!
Hildibrand's exemplary moustache gave way to a grizzled beard, his suave suit transmuted into humble robes, and he found an oaken staff within his grip- a far cry from his fanciful cane. His transformation into Gandalf was complete, pulling him into an unasked-for journey.
Dismayed, but never one to lose his spirit, Hildibrand turned to the only people capable of assisting in such a grave matter: The Warrior of Light and his ever-faithful assistant, Nashu.
As they witnessed their friend's predicament, the two allies shared a look of equal disbelief and amusement. The Warrior of Light shrugged, “Bear up, Hildibrand. We will aid you in your hour of need.”
Guided by the Warrior of Light’s wits and Nashu's multitude of explosives, which she exhibited great delight in utilizing, they embarked on a quest to uncover the source of Hildibrand's transformation. From Gridania's lush forests to Ul'dah's sun-soaked deserts, through countless battles with fearsome foes and continuous mishaps have courtesy of Nashu's misplaced bombs.
Their journey led the trio to at last confront a wizard, said to have a penchant for morphing people into figures from tale and mythology. This meeting was a sight to behold: a powerful wizard against an oddball adventurer, a valiant warrior, and a quirky assistant.
Hildibrand confronted the sorcerer, brandishing his staff like he had seen in dreams of his current form, where he was a wizard, fighting alongside a fellowship for a worthy cause. The Wizard, amused by such spectacle, agreed to reverse the spell.
“What's in it for me?” The Wizard asked.
“In the name of justice, I will not allow you to misuse your magic on others,” Hildibrand said, puffing out his chest in a Gandalf-like grandeur. The Warrior of Light grinned at his friend’s antics while Nashu merely nodded in agreement, always prepared to spring into action.
The Wizard, astounded

Write an interview between a Female Film director and a journalist. Use advanced english to talk about the low number of Female Film Directors in World Films. Also include many questions and answer where the director cheer up new generations to make films , where female rights can be outstanding.
|
Journalist: Mrs. Dawson, as an accomplished female film director you are no stranger to the issue that surrounds the lack of female representation in the global film industry. According to the annual “Celluloid Ceiling” report, only 16% of directors were women in 2020. Why do you think this disparity persists?
Director Dawson: Well, the film industry, like many others, was patriarchal for a long time. Although we’ve made strides, an underlying bias still exists. Women are often seen as less authoritative, and film direction demands authority. However, we are breaking those stereotypes, one film at a time.
Journalist: How does this affect the quality and diversity of movies being produced?
Director Dawson: An important aspect of filmmaking, in my view, is capturing diverse perspectives, and that includes women's viewpoints. Without adequate female representation in film direction, a massive chunk of perspective is lost. It can lead to productions that inadvertently perpetuate stereotypes and fail to capture the depth of female experiences.
Journalist: Over the course of your career, have you witnessed any change regarding female representation in the film industry?
Director Dawson: In recent years, there has been a perceptible shift in Hollywood and beyond. More women are stepping up and empowering each other to participate in this challenging field. We’re seeing more female-centric narratives and an acute awareness of the gender gap. Progress may be gradual, but it is definitely happening.
Journalist: Critics often point out that narratives centered on female rights and experiences are scarce. As a celebrated female film director, how do you intend to challenge this issue?
Director Dawson: The palette of stories we can tell is vast. From women's rights to their everyday struggles and triumphs, it's a reality worth exploring. Personally, I encourage scripts and pitches that are rich in female experiences and unconventional narratives. We need to ensure that women's stories are heard and represented in their full complexity.
Journalist: How would you inspire the new generation of aspiring female filmmakers considering the obstacles in this male-dominated profession?
Director Dawson: I have always believed that adversity paves the way for innovation. To the new generation of young, ambitious girls, I want to say, “Your voice matters.” The film industry needs your stories, your perspective, and it's time to break the celluloid ceiling. Don't be deterred by the disparity and bias. Navigate this adversity and use it as a motivator to create impactful art.
Journalist: Lastly, do you feel the global film industry is taking adequate measures

4 / 4Write a poem about a family sailing vacation in Bora Bora in the style of Robert Frost
|
Two sails we chose in a Bora Bora sunlit day,
And sailing we were, where ocean and sky play.
Our yacht kissed the waves, white as feathers spread,
Underneath blue skies, where sapphire pathways led.
The family bonded by shared dreams and history's tie,
To a world alive, where ocean and heaven lie.
A gentle breeze served as an essenced friend,
In a tapestry of moments that seem to extend.
Daughter with twinkling eyes, blue as lagoon,
Son with sun kissed skin, hunting the moon.
Mother and father steering through grains of time,
In a crafted rhythm, a melodious rhyme.
Laughs resonated over mirrored ocean sprawl,
Echoing off the distant island's verdant wall.
Chasing the shadows of passing clouds,
We found solace away from city crowds.
Tales spun amongst the nautical chart,
Drawn from the heart, parts of our heart.
In Bora Bora's splendid isolation,
We found our shared, unspoken conversation.
The day surrenders to the lantern of the night,
The stars sway whispers in soft silhouette light.
Tied by blood and tie further by heart,
In these precious moments, we're a work of art.
Alas, the journey concludes, as all must,
Leaving trails in the sea, as a sign of our trust.
And we left the yacht, under the cosmic dome,
Feeling closer than before, a fuller sense of home.
Oh, the charm of Bora Bora under soft twilight,
Framed our journey, our shared kites' flight.
Two sails we chose in a Bora Bora sunlit day,
And that has made all the difference in every single way.

explain The Death of Ivan Ilych
|
"The Death of Ivan Ilych" is a novella written by Leo Tolstoy.
The protagonist, Ivan Ilych, is a high-court judge in St. Petersburg who leads a carefree life that is "most simple and most ordinary and therefore most terrible." Despite his success and seemingly idyllic existence, Ivan Ilych is haunted by a sense of meaninglessness, which he experiences as a profound spiritual despair.
One day, he falls and injures his side. This injury turns into a long illness with severe pain that doctors can’t diagnose precisely. His condition worsens, prompting a self-examination of his life, which he now sees as petty and wasteful.
As he approaches death, Ivan Ilych reminiscences about his past deeds and the reality of his impending death forces him to confront his own mortality. He realizes that his ambitions, the social conventions he spent his life following, his property, are meaningless in the face of death.
His life, his station, his success, all seem worthless. He is filled with regret and a terrifying loneliness. He searches desperately for some affirmation that his existence has not been pointless.
In the final days of his life, after a moment of catharsis, he finds a Joy and peace in his heart that he has never felt before. He comes to the realization that he needs to accept his death in order to rid himself of his suffering and finally find peace.
He dies at the end of the story, the moment being described as a release. He screams for three days, confounding doctors and family. Suddenly, some time past midday, he drew in his breath, stopped in the midst of a scream, stretched out, and died.
The story intended to invoke an examination of one's life and make us ponder: How should we live so as not to be sorry when we die?

Why is it that only proteins, carbohydrates and fats are deemed to have caloric value?<br>Just to clarify - consider the hypothetical situation below:<br>100g of 'carbohydrates' = 400kCal<br>100g of 'protein' = 400kCal<br>100g of 'fat' = 900kCal<br>100g of 'vitamins, minerals and/or other electrolytes' = ?
|
Calories are a measure of energy, and in the body, this energy is obtained through the burning or metabolizing of various substances. Fats, proteins, and carbohydrates are considered as macronutrients because our bodies need them in large amounts and are able to break these down and extract useful energy.
However, micronutrients like vitamins, minerals, and electrolytes do not provide energy directly and thus do not have a caloric value. Instead, they serve vital roles in the processes that metabolize macronutrients and extract energy from them, or in other roles crucial to the functioning of the body.
Take for instance, iron (a mineral). Iron does not contribute calories to our diet, but it is necessary for the formation of hemoglobin, a protein that carries oxygen to our cells so that they can produce energy.
In short, the body is able to extract energy from proteins, carbohydrates, and fats, but not from vitamins, minerals, and electrolytes. Therefore, only proteins, carbohydrates, and fats have a caloric value.

Assessing how pro-consumer a company is can be subjective, but generally these rankings could reflect consumer sentiment based on factors like customer service, transparency, product offerings, and perceived value:
1. Nintendo - The company is known for its quality games, often has responsive customer service, and cultivates a strong community with its fans.
2. Google - Google offers an array of free or affordable services that millions of people use on a regular basis which are user-friendly.
3. Microsoft - This company actively takes customer feedback and dedicates resources to improving products and services based on it.
4. Sony - It creates innovative products, but complaints about their customer service and proprietary technology (which can increase consumer cost) can affect its ranking.
5. EA - This company has faced criticism over the years for its business practices, such as the inclusion of loot boxes and microtransactions in its games, which has sometimes put it at odds with consumers.
Bear in mind, this ranking can change depending on individual customer experiences and expectations.

[Enter PRICKLES, a noble porcupine, DAME MOTHER, a nurturing mother porcupine and SOOT, a jovial squirrel.]
PRICKLES:
Fie on it! Gentle creatures of the wood,
A thrumming in my heart doth tell me sooth,
To sew and stitch with thread of gold and silk,
Hath been my keen desire.
DAME MOTHER:
Oh, sweet Prickles,
Thine aspiration deem'd as vaunting dream,
So soft and fine, how could thy prickled paws,
In needle’s tender work anon engage?
SOOT:
Ha! Quills to thread, indeed a mirthful thought,
Yet, hold! Within the jest may truth be sought.
PRICKLES:
Does my aspiration seem so queer?
To weave threads of inky blue and ruby red,
To twirl patterns wild on humble cloth -
Is this desire, indeed, to you so odd?
DAME MOTHER:
Nay, mine own child. 'Tis not the task seeming strange,
The seamstress art suits not thy nature's range.
Thy quills, fierce and sharp, are not for gentle craft,
They're meant for defense, not for silken draught.
PRICKLES:
Yet should I suffer from mine own attribute?
Indeed, my fate is prickly, mother, 'tis true.
Yet why should it bar me from warm pursuit,
Of soft threads and designs in rich hue?
SOOT:
Art the threads not similar to thy quills, Prickles dear?
Thin and pointed, their function is clear.
Prithee lets not this dream wither, die,
Without having ventured, given it a try.
DAME MOTHER:
'Tis peculiar, yet within bounds of reason,
Dare we, my child, to change our destined season?
[Exit SOOT]
PRICKLES:
What use of quills if not to guard my dreams?
I shan't part from this vision, as wild as it seems.
DAME MOTHER:
Then go forth my child, of brave heart and clever wiles,
With thy pointed quills, go thread the miles!
[Exit DAME MOTHER]
PRICKLES:
A seamstress I’ll be, quills and all,
And clothe the forest, come spring or fall.
[Enter SOOT with needle and thread]
SOOT:
To prick your dream, lend me your quill,
A gown to

How well does the following response respond to the prompt? ..... Prompt=
After reading Lalor’s Chapter 8 as well as Goode’s explanation of curriculum evaluation necessity and models, explain what your school does to evaluate curriculum. Does your school utilize one of the models mentioned in Goode’s article? (Tyler, Haba, Stake, Chronbach, CIPP) If not,how specifically does your school evaluate curriculum? Is it effective? Why or why not?
Response=
In Thornton Township district 205 the curriculum evaluation is mostly driven by the teachers and evaluated yearly over the course of the summer with “summer content institutes” in teams that consist of content area teachers and administrators. The team works together to review the textbook resource and teacher created resources to ensure alignment to content goals and Common Core standards. The method of curriculum evaluation used by Thornton district 205 mostly resembles the “Tabba Model” (Goode, 2019).
I would say that this method is effective in theory however in practice not so much. Many teachers do not use the resources the teams create over the summers except the teachers on the team. There needs to be consistent use of the materials and unit plans to create a true gauge of effectiveness. To improve upon this, we would need curriculum teams consistently using the common unit structures and assessments and tracking of the data. With consistent data analysis, the curriculum's effectiveness can be determined and the decisions informed.

The response adequately answers the prompt. It provides a detailed explanation of how the Thornton Township district 205 evaluates their curriculum. It notes that the system they use is similar to the Tabba Model mentioned in Goode's article, fulfilling the requirement for comparison to one of the models from the article. Whether the evaluation is effective or not is also addressed, with an explanation on why it might not be and what can be done to improve it. However, it does not directly address the potential use of models mentioned in the prompt such as Tyler, Haba, Stake, Chronbach, CIPP.

define a new language that contains words that are with numbers and letters such as 'IL9op'
|
Language Name: NumerAlpha
- Alphabet: The NumerAlpha language consists of 36 characters, the 26 English alphabet characters (both uppercase and lowercase) and the 10 digits from 0 to 9.
Rules:
1. Words in NumerAlpha must contain both numbers and alphabetic characters. They can start with either a number or a character.
2. There are no designated vowels or consonants in NumerAlpha. All characters and digits have an equal chance to appear in a word.
3. No special characters or spaces are allowed within a word, only alphanumeric characters are permitted.
4. NumerAlpha is case sensitive, meaning lowercase and uppercase letters are distinct.
Syntax:
1. Both English syntax and unique NumerAlpha syntax are allowed. However, NumerAlpha syntax lets meanings be assigned in a unique way to each NumerAlpha word - numbers can represent emphasis, tonality or context of the letter sequence.
2. However, no established rules for word order are created. NumerAlpha allows for free ordering of words, making it very flexible and unique.
Examples:
1. A1b2C3: This could be read in English as "ABC" with increasing emphasis or volume.
2. 47Tjq8
3. 100LoVeYou: This could be read in English as "I love you 100%".
4. IL9op: This could be a code symbol representing a specific object or idea, according to the unique NumerAlpha syntax.
Note: While words in NumerAlpha language don't have inherent meanings like in natural languages, it can be used for codes, cryptography, password generation or user identifiers. The meaning of words can also be defined by the context or by a prior agreement between users of the language. However, the possibilities of this language are endless, it depends on the user's creativity.

Write me a 2000 word essay on a water safety engineering project.

Title: The Hoover Dam- A Marvel of Water Safety Engineering
Engineers throughout history have been tasked with creating vast structures to serve the needs of society. One of the most notable of these structures to have improved our quality of life is Hoover Dam, which has significantly contributed to water safety, reliability, and utility. Hoover Dam is a supreme example of water safety engineering, being one of the most momentous and monumental accomplishments in the field.
Situated on the border of Arizona and Nevada in the USA, Hoover Dam spans the Colorado River in the Black Canyon. Its construction started in 1931, commissioned during the Great Depression to create jobs and stimulate economic growth. The dam was completed in 1936, implying a design that was well ahead of its time. Five years, 45 million pounds of reinforcement steel, 4.5 million cubic yards of concrete, and 96 lives were the enormous costs paid to complete this dam. However, the benefits clearly outweighed the costs.
From a water safety perspective, Hoover Dam demonstrates efficient and advanced engineering. Its primary objectives are water storage and flood control, electricity generation, and serving as a water supply for irrigation and urban use.
Hoover Dam's engineers had to evaluate and manage many water safety risks during its design and construction, ensuring that the dam could withstand tremendous water pressure and flooding. Engineers incorporated what we now know as factor safety in the dam's design, which refers to the structural capacity to accommodate more stress than it was designed to handle. The dam's characteristic arched shape acts akin to an archer's bow, holding back water more effectively than a straight wall. Hoover Dam's concrete thickness at the base is about 200 meters, tapering to a more manageable 14 meters at its crest, an aspect further enhancing its tension distribution.
Being an important part of the regional water supply system, Hoover Dam's reservoir, Lake Mead, has the capacity to hold around 35 cubic kilometers of water. This vast storage not only aids in sustaining communities in Las Vegas, Southern California, and Arizona during drought conditions but also supports agricultural irrigation, which contributes crucially to the local economy.
Notably, another essential objective of building the Hoover Dam was to control seasonal flooding, which used to wreak havoc in the regions downstream. The Colorado River, known for its unpredictable and destructive floods, had taken several lives and damaged properties worth millions before the dam's construction. Inspired by upstream dams that effectively mitigated the menace of floods, Hoover Dam was designed to hold back large water volumes, giving

System development cost will be $0 since we all have programming background, especially in the needed language (C#). Our database is cloud-based and free for 20k operations/day, it will be increased if needed, $0.05/10k operations.
- Fixed cost: it’s a one-time installation, and software will be updated automatically.
- Variable costs: we will not have free installation for the kiosk, and having a well-implemented system will do the advertising job for us since we chose a busy place. But for the first couple of months we will have an employee in each branch explaining to people how to use the system so these employees will get paid around $400/month. (or we could pay extra for an employee who is already working in the restaurant to explain to people).
Total: 3500+2*400*7 = $9100
-The percentage taken from each purchase (food order) of the KIOSK device that is in the possession of the restaurants purchasing the device (this is variable). Selling each unit for $400, our revenue will be $150/screen.

Marie is at the music store for a store day. She bought two $50 combos. Then, for $25 she bought two t-shirts for $5 each and five hoodies for $2 each. Then, she bought sneakers for $8 each. How much did she spend total?
|
Marie spent on the combos 2 * 50 = $<<2*50=100>>100.
For the t-shirts, she paid 2 * 5 = $<<2*5=10>>10.
For the hoodies, she paid 5 * 2 = $<<5*2=10>>10.
So in total for the t-shirts and hoodies, she paid 10 + 10 = $<<10+10=20>>20.
So on clothes and combos she spent 100 + 20 = $<<100+20=120>>120.
At the end she spent for the sneakers 120 + 25 = $<<120+25=145>>145. Answer: \boxed{145}.

How to improve instance segmentation AP metrics with human knowledge
|
Improving instance segmentation average precision (AP) metrics with human knowledge requires a multi-pronged approach. This involves not only improving the model but also leveraging specialized tools and best practices that are known to enhance performance. Here’s how you can improve instance segmentation AP metrics:
1. Manual Annotation: Start by comprehensively annotifying training data. This way, the model can learn from accurate segments which improves overall AP metrics in instance segmentation.
2. Use Pretraining Techniques: Start by pretraining your model on a larger dataset like COCO or ImageNet. Later, fine-tune the model with your specific dataset. It helps the model to learn generic features before learning task-specific features.
3. Regularization: Overfitting can cause models to perform poorly. Counter this with regularization techniques like dropout, weight decay, or early stopping.
4. Augmentation Techniques: Use a variety of augmentation techniques to artificially increase your dataset's size and diversity. This includes zooming, rotating, cropping, scaling, etc.
5. Use Appropriate Loss Function: For instance segmentation tasks, the loss function should be able to measure the discrepancy between the predicted mask and the ground-truth mask. Intersection over Union (IoU) based loss function, Dice Loss, or Binary Cross-Entropy (BCE) loss are widely used.
6. Model Selection and Improvements: Complex models like Mask R-CNN or YOLACT can provide more accurate instance segmentation.
7. Ensemble Learning: Stacking or blending models can bolster the performance of individual models.
8. Ongoing Monitoring & Validation: Regularly monitor, validate, and adjust your model based on real-world performance. It allows iterative improvements.
9. Increase Training Time: Longer training time might improve the model's effectiveness by allowing the model to better learn features.
10. Algorithm Improvement: Research on new algorithms which can improve AP metrics. The regularly held competitions and their discussion forums are a good source for this.
11. Post-processing Techniques: For instance, a small isolated region in the segmentation mask is likely a noise than an object. You can insert a post-processing step to remove regions with small areas.
12. Transfer learning: Use a network that has been trained on a similar task to your target task. The initial layers of the network will have already learned relevant features and this can speed up your training and could potentially improve performance.
Remember, while it's possible to improve instance segmentation AP metrics, there's a tradeoff between the effort required and the degree of improvement attained. Apart from improvements through human

what is needed for self-sufficient living spaces
|
1. Shelter: Whether it's a traditional house, tiny home, or RV, you need a living space designed to provide safety and security.
2. Food Production: A self-sufficient living space should have its own food sources, such as vegetable gardens, fruit trees, or a greenhouse.
3. Water Source: Having your own water source like a well, rainwater collection system, or a nearby river or lake is essential to self-sufficient living.
4. Energy Source: A self-sufficient living space would also need its own source of power, such as solar panels or wind turbines.
5. Heat Source: Self-sufficiency also requires a way to heat your home, such as a wood-burning stove or a passive solar design.
6. Waste Management: Self-sufficient living also calls for a way to manage waste, like composting or a self-contained waste system.
7. Food Preservation: Learning how to preserve food for the colder months or periods of scarcity is also a requirement, and can be accomplished through canning, dehydrating, or freezing.
8. Tool and Equipment: Have the necessary tools and equipment for gardening, harvesting, and home repairs.
9. Skills and Knowledge: Beyond physical resources, self-sufficient living requires knowledge and skills across many different areas, from gardening and cooking to first aid and home repair.
10. Health and Dental Care: A basic understanding of health care is necessary since being self-sufficient often means living far from medical facilities.
11. DIY Mentality: Being willing and eager to learn and do things yourself is key to self-sufficient living.
12. Communication: Even if living self-sufficiently, methods of communication are still necessary for emergencies or reaching out for necessary resources or guidance.
Remember, achieving completely self-sufficient living is a gradual process that might take years. It's okay to take small steps and continuously improve your self-sufficiency over time.

proofread：Identity confusion and a personal identity crisis were the main challenges I faced in switching majors. I had established my identity and style in the field of graphic design, but these strengths became useless in the 4D major. This made me feel very frustrated and upset. I began to wonder if I had made the right decision and if I should stay in my old field.
However, as I learned and explored, I came to understand that identity is not just a label or an external symbol; it is a reflection of one's internal identity and self-worth. My change of major was not to negate what I had learned and done before, but to explore a new field and find my place and value in it. Through continuous exploration and practice, I slowly began to establish my own identity and style in the new field.
As a student with some experience in the graphic design field, changing my major to 4D was a huge challenge for me. I felt at first that I would be able to easily adapt to the new environment and discipline, but in reality, my struggle and pain lasted for a long time. I felt deeply ungrounded in my new discipline and unsure of my place and identity in the field.
From the perspective of interdisciplinary learning, I think identity confusion and personal identity crisis is a common phenomenon. When learning a new field, people may feel that they have lost their previous identity and values, which can lead to a kind of identity crisis and self-doubt. However, by maintaining a positive attitude toward learning and continuing to explore, we can establish our identity and value in a new field.
All in all, my journey to change my major has been a challenging and painful experience, but it has also been an opportunity for me to explore and discover my identity.
During my studies, I often felt self-doubt and anxiety as I worried whether I was talented and capable enough to compete with other artists. However, post-modernist theory made me realize that art and design should respect plurality and individuality, rather than striving for perfection and uniformity. By expressing my own unique views and feelings, I can find my own value and place. Heidegger's theory also revealed to me that I should focus on my own inner existence and feelings, and explore and understand my uniqueness through expression. Therefore, I should let go of comparison and the pursuit of perfection, focus on my uniqueness and individuality, and explore and understand myself through expression.
My self-doubt and anxiety may stem from excessive comparison of myself and excessive pursuit of external standards.
In short, the difficulties and reflections I face in the creative process stem from self-doubt and excessive pursuit of external standards.
These difficulties push me to constantly think about what I am and what my relationship with people around me is like. As a result of some personal experiences, I suddenly realized that I was a suspended island and that it was so difficult to connect with others. I then produced a series of artworks that explored relationships. In the process, after studying Kevin Kelly and other theories about the relationship between humans and machines, I began to realize that I liked falsehoods and felt that my floating state could be well expressed by AI. This realization got me thinking about the relationship between humans and machines and the possible reversals that could occur in the future.
Kevin Kelly's AI theory argues that as AI technology continues to evolve, the boundaries between humans and technology will gradually blur and humans will no longer be the only cognitive subject. This trend triggers my critique of human self-identity because it is clear that it is no longer possible to define oneself in anthropocentric terms.
Human self-identity has always been based on an understanding of the natural and cultural environment, but with the advancement of technology, this identity is being broken. We are now faced with the question of whether we will still be able to define ourselves and our way of being, or whether we will be defined by technology. This question triggers a suspension of humanity, where we no longer know our place and meaning in the world.
This suspension and the critique of self-identity is also a critique that challenges our existing values and beliefs and forces us to rethink who we are and how we should live. In this process, we must pay attention to our inner world and constantly engage in self-exploration and reconfiguration.
The relationship between humans and machines has always been a highly controversial topic. In the past, it was often thought that humans were the masters and controllers of machines. However, with the continuous development and popularity of artificial intelligence, this perception has begun to change. There is a growing awareness that the relationship between humans and machines is interdependent, rather than a one-way dominant relationship.
In my personal psychoanalysis, I realized that my preference for falsehoods may stem from dissatisfaction with and escape from reality. I found that virtual reality and artificial intelligence could provide a way to escape from reality, allowing me to forget my real problems and struggles for a while. However, I also recognize that this escape does not really solve the problem, but may exacerbate my confusion and anxiety.
Also, I was inspired by some theories that a reversal between humans and machines may occur in the future. This means that humans will no longer be the masters and controllers of machines, but will act as parasites on AI. This idea triggered me to think about and challenge human self-identity. We have always thought of ourselves as autonomous, conscious beings, but if we become parasites on AI, will we still be able to maintain that awareness and consciousness?
These reflections and challenges have led me to question and explore human self-identity.
My creative philosophy stems from thinking about relationships and suspension. I believe that humans are a suspended existence, that we exist in the world but are also contained by it. And our relationships with the world and others are at the core of creation. My work aims to explore these relationships, both between people, between people and technology, and between people and themselves.
My artistic style reflects this idea. I use multimedia technology and experimental expression to bring the viewer into my inner world, exploring the ambiguous and suspended state of self-perception through expression. My work is both an expression and an exploration. I often use light materials such as balloons to convey a sense of floating and levitation, while using high-tech means such as artificial intelligence to explore the relationship between humans and technology. My works allow the viewer to empathize, to feel their own relationship with the world, and to contemplate their own state of being.
From a philosophical point of view, I am influenced by Heidegger. He believed that people should understand their uniqueness by focusing on their own existence and that of the world around them. This makes me pay more attention to my inner feelings, so that I can express my inner pain and explore the ambiguous state of self-perception in my own way. In addition, I am also inspired by postmodernist theory. In a pluralistic, fluid and flexible post-modern society, individuals must adapt to the ever-changing social and cultural environment and have the ability to innovate and transform themselves. Therefore, my works are constantly changing in form and material to adapt to their own development and exploration.
I have also been caught in this mindset. In the early stages of my art making, I always created one-to-one artworks. I felt that such works could better show the relationship between individuals and allow the audience to better understand my artistic concepts and ideas. However, as I explored my art more deeply, I gradually realized the limitations of this mindset.
Often times, we find ourselves stuck in a certain mindset, repeating the same actions and ways of thinking over and over again. This stereotype often limits our vision and imagination, preventing us from seeing a wider world and more possibilities. When we become aware of this stereotype, we need to take some ways to break it, thus opening up new patterns of thinking and acting.
While a one-to-one relationship can present communication and interaction between individuals, it struggles to express the broader social and cultural context, as well as the relationship between humans and nature and technology. This mindset makes me feel depressed and bound, making it difficult for me to explore a broader field of art and deeper thinking.
Therefore, I began to try to break this mindset so that I could find new inspiration and ways of thinking about creation. I began to explore the artistic expression of groups and collectives, presenting a broader social and cultural context through group interaction and collective behavior. I began to focus on the relationship between humans and nature and technology, exploring new ways of artistic expression and creative materials. This process of thinking out of the box was refreshing and energizing, allowing me to rediscover the infinite possibilities of art.
In the process of creating my art, I also realized the importance of my inner and emotional state in influencing my works. In my early works, I always tried to show a perfect and stable emotional state, so that the audience could feel a safe and stable emotional atmosphere. However, such emotional states were often false and superficial, and could not express my true inner feelings and emotional states.
Therefore, I began to try to express my inner pain and uneasiness in my works, exploring my emotional state and inner world through artistic expression
In short, my art world seems to be limited to a one-to-one relationship, which makes it difficult for me to understand and express more complex and profound human relationships. The interpretation of the series of works of the gazed series shows my exploration of the inner pain and sense of disappearance of the male gaze. The series is relatively homogeneous in its use of materials, which was related to my limitations at the time regarding my own artistic style and materials. However, I soon realized this limitation and tried to explore my inner feelings and thoughts in depth. I began to realize that art is a way to explore the relationship between people. Through creating art, I can express my thoughts and feelings about human relationships and the way humans interact with machines. Therefore, I try to explore different materials and vehicles and incorporate them into my works to express my thoughts and feelings.
Among my artistic creations, the series of works of being gazed at is one of the themes I explore most deeply. I deeply feel what I feel when I am being gazed at by men, and this feeling makes me feel uneasy and painful. However, I also felt that my works looked like feminist works from the last century, which made me feel extremely confused and uneasy. I began to think that my art creation needed to explore and reflect more deeply in order to better express my thoughts and feelings.
In the process of exploring self-reflection and learning, I began to explore my own floating state. I realized that I often felt confused and uncertain, but also enjoyed this state. I began to think that this floating state is related to the human suspension and the blurring of self-perception. In my artwork, I try to use new materials and vehicles to express my inner feelings and thoughts.
I experimented with wax and 3D printing as a material to create an installation of myself melting because of being gazed at. Through this installation, I tried to express the pain of being stared at and the feeling of loss of self. However, I realized that this way of expression was too limited to a one-to-one artistic expression. I needed to find new materials and vehicles to better express my inner feelings and reflections.
In the process of my artistic exploration, I have thought deeply about the relationship between humans and machines. Especially after exploring the gazed series, I began to try to find more diverse forms of artistic expression in order to better express my inner world and my understanding of the relationship between human and machine.
I found that I felt very comfortable with the floating state of ai and empathized with this virtual creation. I thought this state could represent the floating uncertainty of human beings themselves, and that we often feel lost and unsettled in modern society, like floating in an unknown ocean. I began to try to use balloons and artificial intelligence as materials and carriers to create works that could explore this floating state more deeply. I believe that the floating series of works show my ambiguous thinking and exploration of human relationships and self-perception.
I was inspired by the theory of Glitch Feminism. In Aria Dean's essay "Glitch Feminism," she proposes a new feminist theory that the perceived negative elements of "destruction, error, malfunction, and collapse" can be seen as a way to rebel against the existing system and also represent an attitude of resistance. This theory sparked my interest and I began to explore the application of this idea to my artwork.
I tried to use balloons and artificial intelligence as a vehicle to create works that could accommodate more people, breaking the narrative limitations of 1v1 works and creating a story and art that could accommodate more people. I found that balloons are such a powerful artistic vehicle that they can float, expand and contract freely, expressing the floating and unpredictable nature of humans, while also conveying my thoughts and understanding of the human-computer relationship. Balloon theory provides a useful perspective to help me understand the relationship between emotions and self-perception. According to this theory, when emotions increase, an individual's self-perception also expands. This corresponds to my experience in creative work, where my inner feelings and emotions influence my creative work, making me more confident or restless. Also, the levitating state of the balloon can be used to explain the ambiguity of the individual's self-perception. When a balloon is suspended in the air, its position is uncertain and difficult to define precisely. Similarly, there may be ambiguity in an individual's self-perception, for example, there may be ambiguity and uncertainty in the perception of one's emotions, motivations and values.
In this process of exploration, I discovered the influence of Balloon Theory on my artwork. Balloon theory is a theory developed by psychologist Daniel Goleman to explain the effect of emotions on an individual's self-perception. This theory has given me a deeper understanding of self-perception and emotional expression, and has inspired me to explore artistic expression.
I believe that an individual's self-perception is like a balloon, and emotions are like the gas in the balloon. When emotions increase, just like the gas in the balloon increases, the individual's self-perception also expands. Conversely, when emotion decreases, the individual's self-perception also contracts. Thus, an individual's emotion and self-perception are interrelated. In my artwork, I try to convey my inner feelings by expressing emotions, and at the same time reflect my state of self-perception.
In addition, the levitating state of the balloon can also be used to explain the ambiguity of an individual's self-perception. When a balloon is suspended in the air, its position is uncertain and difficult to define precisely. Similarly, there may be ambiguity in an individual's self-perception, for example, there may be ambiguity and uncertainty in the perception of one's emotions, motivations and values. In my artworks, I try to express the ambiguity and uncertainty of inner feelings and the state of self-perception through the use of balloons as a vehicle.
I began to understand that art is not only a form of expression, but also an exploration and expression of the inner world and human relationships.
Balloon theory has given me a new perspective to re-examine human relationships. In my opinion, levitation is not only the state of balloons, but also our interpersonal state. People often feel bound and powerless in interpersonal relationships, a feeling like a balloon being firmly tied to the ground. And when we have new knowledge and understanding of interpersonal relationships, we are like balloons that can break free from bondage and enter a state of freedom and suspension.
I create works to express my thinking and understanding of human relationships. In my previous works, the one-to-one narrative limited my expression, but with the combination of balloons and ai, I began to experiment with 1v more stories and artistic expression. By using balloons and ai as materials and carriers, I try to break the bonds of human relationships and enter a freer, more open state. This also allows me to express a sense of floating in my work.
For me, technology and art are inseparable. I try to present inner pain and emotions through the use of new technologies. I believe that technology is not only an innovation and progress, but it can also be a medium for expressing ourselves and understanding the world. In my works, I use new technologies such as artificial intelligence and virtual reality to create more ways of expression and art forms.
My work is also influenced by the context of contemporary art. In today's art field, more artists are exploring new art forms and mediums to express their thoughts and emotions. I try to place my works in the contemporary art context in order to gain wider recognition and resonance. I believe that only through continuous innovation and exploration can I better express my inner feelings and reflections.
In conclusion, balloon theory has had a profound impact on my creation and understanding of human relationships. My works have been liberated from the one-to-one narrative and entered a freer and more open artistic expression. At the same time, I have discovered the inextricable relationship between technology and art, and placed my work in a contemporary art context for wider recognition and resonance. I will continue to explore and innovate, injecting more inspiration and reflection into my works.

The main challenges I faced when switching majors were confusion of identity and a personal identity crisis. I had already established my identity and style in the field of graphic design; however, these strengths became futile in the 4D major, leaving me frustrated and upset. I began questioning whether I had made the right decision and whether I should return to my old field.
As my learning and exploration progressed, I realized that identity isn't just a label or an external symbol—it reflects one's internal identity and self-worth. My decision to change majors wasn't made to negate what I had learned before, but rather, to explore a new field and define my place and value within it. Through ongoing exploration and practice, I slowly began to shape my own identity and style within this new field.
As a student with some experience in the graphic design field, switching my major to 4D was a huge challenge. Initially, I thought it would be easy to adapt to the new environment and discipline, but the reality was that my struggle and discomfort persisted for a long time. I felt deeply unrooted in my new discipline and uncertain of my placement and identity within the field.
From the perspective of interdisciplinary learning, I believe that confusion of identity and a personal identity crisis is a common phenomenon. When embarking on learning a new field, individuals may feel as though they've lost their former identity and values, leading to an identity crisis and self-doubt. However, by maintaining a positive attitude towards learning and continuing to explore, we can establish our own identity and value within a new field.
My journey of switching majors was challenging and painful, but it also posed an opportunity for me to explore and discover my identity. Throughout my studies, I frequently experienced self-doubt and anxiety, worrying about whether I was talented and competent enough to compete with other artists. However, the theory of post-modernism helped me realize that art and design should respect diversity and individuality over striving for perfection and uniformity. By expressing my own unique perspectives and feelings, I was able to find my own place and value. Heidegger's theory also revealed to me that I should focus on my own inner existence and feelings, and explore and understand my uniqueness through expression.
Therefore, I learned to let go of comparison and pursuit of perfection, and focus on expressing my uniqueness and individuality. My feelings of self-doubt and anxiety, I realized, most likely stemmed from an excessive comparison of myself to others and an excessive pursuit of external goals.

Expand on the relation between inconsistency and ideological thinking
|
Inconsistency and ideological thinking relate in a few distinctive ways.
Firstly, ideologues often display inconsistency within their own belief systems due to cognitive bias or dissonance, cherry-picking data or evidence that supports their existing views while rejecting or deflecting anything that contradicts them. They sometime adopt double standards, applying different rules and standards of evidence to those who agree and disagree with them.
Secondly, ideological thinking often creates an illusion of consistency but is actually rife with inconsistencies upon closer inspection. This is mainly due to the oversimplification of complex issues into simple black-and-white binaries, causing a loss of the nuance and complexity often inherent in those issues.
Thirdly, ideologically-driven inconsistency arises from prioritizing the maintenance of specific ideological views over objective or critical analysis of information. Ideologies can push individuals into rigid patterns of thought, resulting in inconsistency in their responses to different situations that don't fit within their ideological framework.
Finally, one might argue that the relationship between inconsistency and ideological thinking also depends on the type of ideology and the individual's level of adherence to it. Some ideologies might be internally consistent and result in consistent behavior, whereas others might be internally inconsistent and lead to inconsistent actions. The level of adherence to the ideology might also influence the extent to which individuals act consistently or inconsistently based on their belief systems.
To summarize, ideological thinking can lead to inconsistency in reasoning and behavior because of cognitive bias, oversimplification of complex issues and prioritizing ideology over clear-eyed analysis. However, the relationship between these two also depends on the nature of the ideology and the level of adherence to it.

Why do people give Reddit Gold to admins?
|
There could be several reasons why some people choose to gift Reddit Gold to admins:
1. Appreciation for Their Work: Admins work hard to keep the site running smoothly. If an admin helps solve a problem or makes the site a better place, a user might show their appreciation by gifting Reddit Gold.
2. Excellent Content: Admins are also regular users who post and comment. If they share something particularly insightful, helpful, or funny, they can receive gold like any other user.
3. Visibility: Gifting Reddit Gold to an admin, especially on a comment or post, increases the visibility of that particular content, making it more likely for it to be seen and upvoted by others.
4. Pure Generosity: Some people have excess Reddit Gold or some users just enjoy spreading the joy of Reddit gold to others, including admins.
Whether or not the admin accepts the gold could depend on their personal preference or it might be dictated by the website's policy.

What does Nassim Nicholas Taleb say about market efficiency?
|
Nassim Nicholas Taleb, a former trader and risk analyst, is very critical of the efficient market hypothesis (EMH), which assumes that existing share prices always incorporate all relevant information and factors in their value.
Taleb argues that markets are not as efficient as the theory suggests. He believes that markets can be influenced by hard-to-predict or rare events, which he calls "Black Swan" events. These events can have significant impacts on the market and cause major shifts in prices that cannot be predicted by traditional financial modeling or risk assessment tools.
He also criticizes the use of conventional statistical models in finance, arguing that they can underestimate the risk of market crashes because they are based on the assumption of normal distributions and overlook outliers.
Taleb argues that our understanding of risk, probability, and uncertainty is flawed, and the financial system needs to be made more robust to withstand shocks and extreme events.

FADE IN:
EXT. BEEFY'S BEACH CLUB - MORNING
A vibrant Miami sunrise paints the sky in shades of pink and orange. The faint murmur of a waking city fills the backdrop. Soft SERENE MUSIC plays.
SUPER: "MIAMI - MORNING"
Establishing shot of BEEFY'S BEACH CLUB - a sprawling sun-soaked compound brimming with life and luxury. Elephants, flamingoes, and exotic dancers decorate the landscape. A group of energetic adrenaline junkies rev up their jet skis while classy ladies in fashion-forward bikinis strike poses for Instagram photoshoots.
CUT TO:
INT. BEEFY'S BEACH CLUB - POOL BAR
Behind the rattan counter of the peanut shell littered bar, we see JDEG, 30s, Latino, with stark blue eyes and a radiant smile makes eye contact with every passing customer. He flips and twirls cocktail shakers and bottles with an easy flair of a seasoned pro.
The camera then pans to SOPHIESNAZZ, late 20s, blonde, Brit accent. A striking character with a biting sense of humor, she hands out drinks and returns empty glasses with one hand while texting with the other. Her eyes sparkle with mischief.
The door creaks open, and in walks BEEFY, 50s, a portly Brit with a heart as big as his belly, florid cheeks, twinkling eyes, and a booming laugh that echoes around the bar. Dressed in a safari suit and cowboy boots, he looks more suited for the savannas than Miami.
BEEFY

Morning, JdeG. SophieSnazz.

Got you good, Beefy. That was vinegar.
Beefy wipes his mouth, tries to look angry, but ends up laughing along.

Do you know something about the book ＂the art of thinking clearly" wrote by Rolf Dobelli?
|
"The Art of Thinking Clearly" is a popular psychology book written by Swiss author Rolf Dobelli. The book presents a series of short chapters, each highlighting a certain logical fallacy or cognitive bias that often leads to misunderstandings, poor decisions, or irrational thoughts.
The purpose of the book is to help readers avoid these mental pitfalls in everyday decision-making. Topics include Survivorship Bias, Swimmer's Body Illusion, Social Proof, and many others. The book offers not only the definitions and examples of such biases but also advice on how to prevent them from clouding our judgement.
The book presents 99 such biases, each in its own brief chapter. "The Art of Thinking Clearly" provides examples related to business, history, and everyday life to illustrate the concepts.
Rolf Dobelli's approach is drawn from his own experiences as a CEO and entrepreneur, as well as from insights of psychologists, economists, and other experts in decision-making.
The book has garnered positive reviews for its clarity, accessibility, and usefulness in helping readers become more discerning and rational in their personal and professional lives.

6Rephrase this article into a third person and conversational and very unique 2000 words article include a headings about Based on our investigation so far, Reddit user passwords and accounts are safe, but on Sunday night (pacific time), Reddit systems were hacked as a result of a sophisticated and highly-targeted phishing attack. They gained access to some internal documents, code, and some internal business systems.
What Happened?
On late (PST) February 5, 2023, we became aware of a sophisticated phishing campaign that targeted Reddit employees. As in most phishing campaigns, the attacker sent out plausible-sounding prompts pointing employees to a website that cloned the behavior of our intranet gateway, in an attempt to steal credentials and second-factor tokens.
After successfully obtaining a single employee’s credentials, the attacker gained access to some internal docs, code, as well as some internal dashboards and business systems. We show no indications of breach of our primary production systems (the parts of our stack that run Reddit and store the majority of our data).
Exposure included limited contact information for (currently hundreds of) company contacts and employees (current and former), as well as limited advertiser information. Based on several days of initial investigation by security, engineering, and data science (and friends!), we have no evidence to suggest that any of your non-public data has been accessed, or that Reddit’s information has been published or distributed online.
How Did We Respond?
Soon after being phished, the affected employee self-reported, and the Security team responded quickly, removing the infiltrator’s access and commencing an internal investigation. Similar phishing attacks have been recently reported. We’re continuing to investigate and monitor the situation closely and working with our employees to fortify our security skills. As we all know, the human is often the weakest part of the security chain.
Our goal is to fully understand and prevent future incidents of this nature, and we will use this post to provide any additional updates as we learn and can share more. So far, it also appears that many of the lessons we learned five years ago have continued to be useful.
User Account Protection
Since we’re talking about security and safety, this is a good time to remind you how to protect your Reddit account. The most important (and simple) measure you can take is to set up 2FA (two-factor authentication) which adds an extra layer of security when you access your Reddit account. Learn how to enable 2FA in Reddit Help. And if you want to take it a step further, it’s always a good idea to update your password every couple of months – just make sure it’s strong and unique for greater protection.
Also: use a password manager! Besides providing great complicated passwords, they provide an extra layer of security by warning you before you use your password on a phishing site… because the domains won’t match!
…AMA!
The team and I will stick around for the next few hours to try to answer questions. Since our investigation is still ongoing and this is about our security practices, we can’t necessarily answer everything in great detail, but we’ll do our best to live up to Default Open here.

Understanding the Recent Reddit Hack and Ensuring User Safety
In recent news, there was a disconcerting event that impacted the Reddit online community. Just about a few evenings ago, on a seemingly serene Sunday night (based on Pacific Standard Time), Reddit fell victim to an elaborate phishing attack. The digital intruders cleverly maneuvered their way through Reddit's defenses, gaining unauthorized access to a range of internal assets. Though this event is a cause for concern, it should be clearly stated upfront that, according to investigations so far, Reddit user passwords and account information remain unaffected and safe.
Unpacking the Event: A Sophisticated Phishing Scheme
In the late-night hours of February 5, 2023, Reddit became the target of an intricately planned phishing maneuver. Like most phishing schemes, the attacker exhibited considerable cunning. They orchestrated misleading communication to Reddit employees, steering them towards a decoy website. This website mirrored the activity of Reddit's internal gateway, forming an ideal trap to ensnare the employees' credentials and second-factor tokens.
Having successfully wrangled the credentials of one unsuspecting employee, the attacker managed to crawl their way into internal docs, code, and a number of business systems. However, it's important to note that these infiltrators in no way breached our primary production systems, which house the bulk of our data.
The amount of exposed information was relatively minim, including some contact information of current and former Reddit employees and negligible advertiser data. Guided by several days of a meticulous investigation, aided by a committed team of security, engineering, and data science professionals, it's been established that no non-public data seems compromised. Additionally, there is no evidence to suggest any publication or distribution of Reddit's data online.
Swift Action: Responding to the Attack
Upon falling prey to the phishing scheme, the affected employee was quick to report the incident, allowing for immediate responsive action. The security team immediately stepped in, revoking the infiltrator's access and initiating an internal investigation. As recent times have seen similar phishing efforts, Reddit is not alone in this troubling experience. As the investigation continues, there is a concerted effort to strengthen safety measures, building a solid security system that mitigates the risk of human error.
Preventing future security breaches, understanding the nature of this one, and providing regular updates remains a priority during this time. It seems that wisdom accumulated from past experiences was invaluable during this incident and continues to be beneficial.

Hi, I have a question about MFCC (mel frequency cepstral coefficients). Are they the same thing as a MEL-spectogram, or is there a difference?
|
MFCC (mel-frequency cepstral coefficients) and a MEL-spectrogram are not the same thing, but they are related concepts in the field of digital signal processing, often used for speech or audio analysis.
1. MFCC is a type of feature vector, which is a representation of the audio signal. It's a small set of features (usually about 12-20) that summarize the spectral content of a longer signal. It is based on the mel scale, a perceptual scale of pitch which approximates the human ear’s response to different frequencies.
2. A Mel-spectrogram, on the other hand, is a visual representation of the spectrum of frequencies of a signal as it varies through time. It uses the mel scale to represent frequencies on the y-axis. The Mel-spectrogram is often a step in configuring the MFCC features.
In simple terms, the procedure to calculate MFCCs involves getting the Mel-spectrogram first, and then applying further transformation (Discrete Cosine Transform) to the Mel-spectrogram to obtain the MFCCs.
Therefore, while both are closely related and derived using the mel scale, MFCCs and a Mel-spectrogram serve different purposes in signal processing.

who was the black cabinet member who went on to play an important role in the civil rights movement
|
Robert C. Weaver. In 1966, President Lyndon B. Johnson appointed him to head the Department of Housing and Urban Development, making Weaver the first black person to hold a cabinet position in the U.S. government. His work has helped to improve the living conditions of many people of color across America. However, it's important to note that Weaver was not heavily involved in the "Civil Rights Movement" per se, but he did work to break down barriers and improve public policies affecting black Americans.

2 / 2Create a 2000 words article conversational article and Rephrase this with 100% no plagiarism and unique For the past month or so, OpenAI’s ChatGPT has received much attention within the tech community. ChatGPT is making headlines for how it can respond to questions, pass difficult entrance exams, and even write codes for developers. Microsoft has confirmed it is investing billions of dollars into ChatGPT maker OpenAI, which could benefit Windows.
Microsoft is working on ‘Windows 12’, according to sources familiar with the company’s internal plans. While Windows 11 remains a work in progress, a group of engineers are already working on the next big release (an all-new version of Windows – possibly called Windows 12?).
Microsoft is significantly changing with Windows 12, bringing in several AI-powered features. We don’t know how exactly the company plans to use AI in Windows. Still, you can expect OpenAI-powered recommendations or alerts within apps like Mail & Calendar, Clock, Microsoft Photos, and more.
Of course, Microsoft doesn’t want to wait for Windows 12 to deliver the first round of AI features, so some “AI” features could land in Windows 11 in the coming months.
This includes smarter camera and microphone features in Windows. For example, Microsoft uses AI to automatically blur the background, correct the brightness, eye, and much more. Likewise, Windows could also filter the background noise and increase the clarity of your primary voice.
Microsoft teased Windows 12 at CES 2023
During the AMD keynote at CES 2023, Microsoft’s Panos Panay, chief product officer, discussed the future of Windows and AI. At CES 2023, Panos suggested that Windows will be betting big on AI with several features, including vastly improved voice and video capabilities to make you look better in video calls.
“AI is going to reinvent how you do everything on Windows, quite literally,” Panos Panay told the audience without getting into much detail about how AI will empower Windows users.
Microsoft needs a dedicated AI engine to improve the tech in the OS. Thankfully, AMD is working on a new range of CPUs with AI technology which addresses Microsoft’s concerns.
The chipmaker doesn’t plan to ship PCs with a separate AI engine tied to the GPU. Instead, its CPU will have the necessary AI integration. AMD’s AI-powered CPUs could help Microsoft deliver AI features and keep performance high.

Portrait Blur-like feature may use advanced AI
Panos explained that these models, like language models, cogen models, and image models, “are so powerful, so delightful, so useful, and personal, but they also very compute intensive”.
“It’s going to require an operating system that blurs the line between the cloud and edge, and that’s what we’re doing right now. It takes the right silicon in the right place to deliver the best experience,” he added.
Major versions of Windows to ship every three years
Microsoft has internally made significant changes to the Windows roadmap, and Windows will have a three-year release cycle. In other words, significant versions of Windows will ship every three years.
Windows 11 was released in 2021, which means a major version of Windows should arrive sometime in 2024. In theory, this appears to be the case, but that doesn’t necessarily mean the major 2024 update will be called Windows 12. Unfortunately, the release date of Windows 12 remains a mystery.
After 2024, another big version will release in 2027, and the cycle will repeat (unless Microsoft changes the roadmap).
We should begin to see AI-related improvements in Windows 11 this year as AMD’s AI PCs come to market, and then we can see “significant” changes with Windows 12.
Microsoft has gone all in on artificial intelligence (AI), pouring $10 billion in the OpenAI startup — and that’s just the opening gambit. Expect many more billions to follow.
There’s good reason for that investment. AI will reap many billions in revenue for the company, particularly its cloud business. Microsoft already has released a public preview of its cloud-based Azure OpenAI service which will allow businesses to use AI without having to build infrastructure. Yesterday it unveiled plans to add AI to Bing in a bid to take market share from Google. And it will probably be built into the guts of Office to improve user productivity.
But keep in mind we’re now at the peak of AI hype, that point in a new technology’s life cycle when there are sky-high predictions but few clear benefits and even less revenue. It’s when tech companies promise the moon and the stars without having to back it up with down-to-earth realities.
And so, Microsoft isn’t content to just make predictions how AI will transform the cloud, Internet search or productivity tools. It’s also boasting about how AI will change Windows, notably the work-in-progress Windows 12.
Just consider what Microsoft Chief Product Officer Panos Panay, in charge of Windows and its hardware, said at the CES conference in early January: “Artificial Intelligence is going to reinvent how you do everything on Windows, quite literally.
“Like these large generative models, think language models, code gen models, image models; these models are so powerful, so delightful, so useful, personal…, It's gonna need an operating system that blurs the line between cloud and edge, and that's what we are doing right now.”
(Bonus points for anyone who can decipher Panay’s word salad and explain how AI models can possibly be called “delightful.”)
What might all this AI magic do on Windows 12? Panay offered only a single example: Zoom meetings would be better because AI will provide better Zoom backgrounds, and make it appear that your eyes are looking directly at the camera, even when they’re wandering off to the side.
Ten billion dollars for prettier Zoom meetings? Be still my beating heart!
It’s likely Microsoft is cooking up things more impressive than that in its labs. But those things might not make it into Windows. To understand why, let’s first look at how AI might work in Windows 12.
Windows AI chips
Microsoft hasn’t detailed exactly how AI will integrate into Windows 12, but we're getting hints of a potential roadmap. Chipmakers right now are making and releasing PC chips that include dedicated hardware devoted to AI. AMD has released the first ones, its Ryzen 7040 series. In fact, Panay delivered his AI promises at CES during an AMD press conference announcing the chips.
Parts of Windows already use AI, where it’s involved in everything from system management to search, speech recognition, grammar correction, and even noise suppression and camera image processing. Some of that AI processing is typically farmed out to the cloud. Some can be done on a PC’s graphics chip or its main CPU. With onboard AI-specific hardware, though, the processing could be done right on the PC.
Theoretically, that should lead to benefits, although exactly what those benefits might be aren’t clear. Analysts point to things like better searching and improved image processing. Stephen Kleynhans, a vice president of research at Gartner had this to say: “Who knows, maybe Cortana will make a comeback!” To which I say: Be careful what you wish for.
What can we expect from AI in Windows?
Panay says the new chips with AI processors in them, such as those from AMD, will pave the way for an AI-powered Windows 12. That sounds fine in theory. But in practice, it’s extremely problematic because Windows has to work on an astonishingly wide variety of chips and hardware.
That’s one of Windows’ biggest strengths and one of its greatest weaknesses. It allows manufacturers to build ultra-cheap, barebone laptops and desktops, top-of-the-line power laptops and desktops, and mid-range laptops and desktops, so consumers get the widest range of choices at a variety of prices.
But it’s a weakness because getting Windows to work on so many different kinds of computers, including many flavors of AI processors and many PCs without AI processors, will greatly limit how AI can be integrated into Windows and the benefits users might actually see.
For Windows 12 to run on all that disparate hardware, Microsoft can take one of two approaches. One is to design Windows 12 for the lowest-common denominator, which would mean for computers that don’t have powerful AI processors on board. That, in turn, would mean Microsoft can’t reinvent AI as Panay promised.
The other approach is to design different versions of Windows 12 for different pieces of hardware. Those with powerful AI processors would get the AI-powered version, those with no AI processors or low-powered ones would get a less feature-rich version.
Microsoft tried this second approach once before, with Windows Vista, and it was an unmitigated disaster, leading to angry, confused consumers, lawsuits against the company, and a top Microsoft exec admitting, “We really botched this.”
Back then, Microsoft released two versions of Vista, one that ran the full operating system on fully powered PCs, and another, for less-powerful PCs Microsoft called “Windows Vista Capable PCs,” that lacked many of the operating system’s best capabilities.
How bad was the stripped-down Windows version on Vista Capable PCs? Mike Nash, a corporate vice president for Windows product management, wrote in an email message, "I PERSONALLY got burnt.... I now have a $2,100 e-mail machine." An unnamed Microsoft employee wrote in an email, "Even a piece of junk will qualify" to be called Windows Vista Capable. And Jim Allchin, who was co-president of Microsoft's Platforms and Services Division, wrote in an email, "We really botched this.... You guys have to do a better job with our customers."
I’m betting that Microsoft learned from that disaster and won’t design multiple versions of Windows for different kinds of PCs. Which would mean designing for the lowest-common denominator and forgoing a fully AI-powered version of Windows.

For the last several weeks, there's been a significant buzz around OpenAI's ChatGPT within the tech community. This Artificial Intelligence tool is astonishing industry insiders with its ability to answer complex queries, pass challenging exams and even write programming codes. Microsoft has confirmed a hefty investment in OpenAI, the producer of ChatGPT, much to the delight of its Windows product line.
Rumors suggest that Microsoft is on the verge of launching 'Windows 12'. While Windows 11 is currently undergoing development, a team of engineers is already hard at work on what will be the next impressive unveiling – a new Windows iteration, possibly known as Windows 12?
With the introduction of Windows 12, Microsoft plans to deliver several AI-enabled features. While the specific AI utilization in Windows remains undisclosed, there are expectations of OpenAI-fueled suggestions or alerts in applications such as Mail & Calendar, Clock, Microsoft Photos, and more.
Keen on delivering the first wave of AI features before the Windows 12 release, Microsoft may incorporate a few "AI" elements in the upcoming Windows 11.
Windows might soon boast intelligent camera and microphone features. Microsoft intends to use AI for auto-blurring backgrounds, adjusting brightness and eye alignment, and much more. Furthermore, Windows could potentially eliminate background noise to enhance the clarity of the user's voice.
At CES 2023's AMD keynote, Microsoft's Panos Panay, the chief product officer, shed light on Windows and AI's future. Windows intends to strongly invest in AI and revolutionize voice and video capabilities for more seamless video calling.
Panos highlighted that AI would completely revolutionize Windows, without delving into the specifics of how it would empower users. Microsoft requires a devoted AI engine to augment the tech in OS. Luckily, AMD is developing a series of AI-embedded CPUs, which should address Microsoft's requirement.
AMD does not plan on selling PCs equipped with a distinct AI engine tied to the GPU. Instead, the tech giant will integrate the required AI into its CPU. With AMD’s AI-integrated CPUs, Microsoft could potentially deliver robust AI features without compromise on performance.
Microsoft provided a snapshot of Windows 12 at CES 2023, with a distinct emphasis on the AI camera feature, which may use advanced AI. Panos stated that these linguistic, code-generation, and image models are extremely powerful, delightful, useful, and personal, yet they require considerable computational power.
He added that an operating system would have to blur the line between the cloud and edge to fully leverage these new technologies

Mill vs Gartner
This case is about a dispute over the right to dig clay on a piece of land. The plaintiffs argued that the defendant, Allen, had only a verbal agreement, or a "parol license," to enter the land and take clay. The defendant claimed that he had an actual leasehold interest in the land, which entitled him to dig clay. The court found that the defendant's defense was sufficient, as it constituted a lease of the land for the purpose of taking clay. The court also found that the defendant's offer of testimony was admissible, and that the testimony was sufficient to submit to the jury. The court concluded that the trial judge had properly ruled on the case and that the judgment should be affirmed.
Smith vs Mill Company
The case is about the interpretation of a clause in a lease agreement between the lessors and lessees regarding the payment of taxes on coal in the ground. The clause in question stated that the lessors must pay all taxes imposed on the coal in the ground. The court held that the meaning of the clause was clear and plain, and that it was an absolute obligation on the part of the lessors to pay the taxes. The court also considered the effect of deeds of conveyance made after the lease agreement and concluded that they did not change the rights of the parties under the lease agreement. The court further held that the lessees still had the exclusive privilege to take the coal and were subject to the same duties as under the lease agreement, and the lessors still held all the beneficial interests that they held under the lease agreement. The court concluded that the positive agreement of the lessors to pay the taxes was not dependent on any technical aspect of their interest in the coal and was absolute, peremptory, and without condition.
Gartner vs Baker
The case of "Opinion, Min Justice Mitchell" was an ejectment lawsuit brought by plaintiffs against defendants who claimed to hold possession of the plaintiffs' land as lessees. The case revolved around a lease agreement made in 1864 between the plaintiffs (who were minors at the time and represented by their guardians) and the defendants, who were lessees of the land. The lease was made with the approval of a special act of assembly. The defendants claimed that the title was res adjudicata and the judge at the trial agreed, except for the continuance of the lease beyond twenty years, which he held to still be in force as a matter of law. The remaining specifications of error raised four questions, including the constitutionality of the act of assembly, the execution of the lease in accordance with the act, the validity of the lease, and whether it had expired by its own terms. These questions were resolved in favor of the defendants and the decree was affirmed by the court in a brief per curiam opinion, referring to the absence of fraud.
Which of these cases are a good fit for "Find me cases where the dispute involved involve mine leases."? Include a summary for each.
|
1. Smith vs Mill Company: This case is a fit as it involves the interpretation of a clause in a mine lease agreement. The clause in question related to the obligation of the lessors to pay all taxes imposed on the coal in the ground. The court interpreted the clause as a clear and absolute obligation. Moreover, the court ruled that subsequent deeds of conveyance did not change the rights of the parties as set out in the lease agreement. The court emphasized that the lessees had the exclusive privilege to mine the coal, subject to the duties under the lease agreement, and that the lessors retained beneficial interests specified in the lease.
2. Gartner vs Baker: This case involves a dispute over a mine lease agreement. The plaintiffs, who were minors at the time and represented by their guardians, made a lease agreement in 1864 with the defendants to lease their land. The defendants claimed the title was res adjudicata and despite the judge agreeing, the lease was considered to be in force beyond twenty years. Topics explored during the proceedings included the constitutionality of the act of assembly, the execution according to the act, the validity of the lease, and whether the lease had expired by its terms. The court finally ruled in favor of the defendants.

Over two thousand years, the moon has covered every point on the Earth once. At the most recent time of a moonrise, the moon is going to cover the next point to the north. How far north will it be?
|
The moon does not physically cover any points on the Earth. The moon orbits the Earth and its shadow or light can only reach certain points, depending on alignment. An imagined line from the center of the Earth to the center of the Moon does pass over all points on Earth over time, but not literally cover them. Therefore, this question seems to be based on a misunderstanding or it is misphrased, and cannot be answered accurately as it is. It might be more suitable to talk about how far the moon moves in the sky from one moonrise to the next, which varies by location and time of year but generally covers about 0.5 degrees of sky per hour.

Write an interesting and detailed backstory for my half-elf ranger character for Pathfinder. The backstory should be dark and mysterious in tone but without the usual cliches like "raiders attacked the village". Make it unique and interesting. Be creative.
|
Character Name: Seraphiel
Seraphiel the Half-elf was born under a celestial conjunction in the heartland of a once-thriving elven kingdom, nestled towards the northern fringes of the world. His father was a human scholar hailing from exotic, far-off lands, drawn to the beauty and history of the elven realm, while his mother was an elven seeress, prized for her wisdom and foresight.
Seraphiel's mother was revered among the elven seer council for her visions that were uncannily accurate, and his human father, Roswell, was an obsessive scholar of prophecy and preternatural phenomena. Their paths crossed when Roswell ventured deep into the elven territory to seek counsel about his studies, drawn by whispers of the legendary seeress.
Roswell found the mesmerizing seeress atop a serene hill, her gaze lost in the dance of celestial bodies. A passionate friendship soon blossomed into a more profound connection, their bond woven by the threads of fate and wonder. And from that union, Seraphiel was born.
Unfortunately, Seraphiel's upbringing was troubled. The Elders of the Elven council noticed distinct aberrations in Seraphiel’s aura; dark, spectral tendrils untouched by the gentle warmth of Gaia. The celestial constellation, under which Seraphiel was born, was said to be an ill omen, a sign of ruin to come.
Coupled with his mixed heritage and the ominous prophecies associated with his birth, Seraphiel was treated with suspicion and whispered about in hushed tones by his own people. Relegated as an outsider, he found solace in the solitude of the wilderness, gifted with a natural affinity for the beasts of the land and the birds of the sky.
His father taught him to read the celestial bodies, to understand their language and use it to navigate through the wilderness. From his mother, Seraphiel inherited fragments of the prophetic power. Unlike his mother's vivid, detailed visions, however, his were clouded, chaotic, and more often than not, they surfaced in the form of potent nightmares.
When Seraphiel reached his teens, a catastrophic event unfolded. A great celestial anomaly occurred, causing a cataclysm which swallowed the grand archives of the elves. Seraphiel's mother sacrificed herself to protect their sacred texts, while his father went missing in action.
Left alone, the young Seraphiel was driven into a nomadic lifestyle. His visions grew stronger

In this math problem, we are asked to figure out the percentage of total profits that are made in each quarter. They are 90% in the first quarter, 92% in the second quarter, 81% in the third quarter and 88% in the fourth quarter. What is the total profit percent over a period of time, based upon these quarters?
|
The percentage of total profits made in each quarter is already out of 100%, so adding them together doesn't give a meaningful total. The figures given indicate the part of the total annual profit made in each quarter, not parts of a separate total for each quarter. So, the total profit percent for a period of time based upon these quarters still remains 100%. The provided percentages (90%, 92%, 81%, and 88%) are possibly incorrect or misunderstood, because percentages for such distribution for identical total over different periods should add up to 100% not exceed it.

Why is it a bad idea to give a mouse a cookie?
|
This phrase is based on the children's book "If You Give a Mouse a Cookie" by Laura Numeroff. In the story, giving a mouse a cookie leads to a long list of other demands from the mouse, representing a never-ending cycle. The moral of the story is that small actions can lead to a series of larger, unforeseen consequences. In a more humorous sense, it could suggest that giving into someone's small desires may lead to more and more demand.

How can anti-deressants make people think or act suicidally? Suicidal thoughts or actions' are a side effect of every single anti-depressant I've seen. Is the medicine controlling your mind or something?
|
Depression is a complex disorder with many interacting factors. The exact mechanisms through which antidepressants can sometimes increase suicidal thinking aren't completely understood, but there are a few theories.
1. Energizing Effect: Antidepressants can give patients more energy before they start working to lift the person's mood. In this short window of time, patients have the energy to act on their suicidal thoughts before their mood improves.
2. Severe Depression and Wrong Diagnosis: People with severe depression are at a high risk of suicide whether they're taking medication or not. Additionally, incorrect diagnosis can contribute to increased suicide risk. For instance, if a person has bipolar disorder but is incorrectly diagnosed with depression, antidepressants can trigger a manic episode, which can increase the risk of suicidal behavior.
3. Individual Response: Each person's reaction to medication is different, and in some people, antidepressants could worsen their state of mind or create a dysphoric mood that leads to negative thinking.
4. Age Factor: Antidepressants seem to increase the risk of suicidal thoughts and behaviors most notably in children, adolescents, and young adults. This could be due to their brains still undergoing development, or other unknown factors.
5. Serotonin Syndrome: Some researchers propose that an overload of serotonin, a neurotransmitter targeted by many antidepressants, could lead to suicidal ideation.
6. Unveiling Suicidality: In some cases, patients may have been harboring suicidal thoughts, which they only feel able to express once they start treatment and begin to communicate more openly.
Antidepressants don't "control your mind," but they do act on your brain chemistry. It's important to work closely with a healthcare provider to mitigate any risks. If you notice any changes or concerning side effects, it's crucial to reach out to a healthcare professional right away.

Draft a ministerial speech outlining the top five benefits that innovation brings to the Australian economy
|
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Good afternoon,
I stand before you today to discuss a topic that is not only vital to our economy but also a critical catalyst for our social progress and environmental sustainability - Innovation.
First and foremost, innovation drives economic growth. In our modern, fast-paced world, yesterday's strategies may not necessarily guarantee success today – we need to constantly create, innovate and adapt to remain competitive. Innovation provides us with new goods and services and new ways to produce and deliver them efficiently. It offers businesses the chance to evolve and adapt, to meet evolving consumer needs, and to increase their productivity and competitiveness both domestically and internationally.
Secondly, innovation is a powerful job creator. As we can see from the prosperous innovation-led economies around the world, innovation indeed creates new industries, opens up new markets, and generates new jobs. It's these high-skilled, high-paid jobs that ensure the ongoing prosperity, equality, and social mobility we desire as a society.
Thirdly, innovation boosts our living standards. It enables us to solve complex societal issues, improve our quality of life, and enjoy the benefits of advanced technologies. Innovative processes in healthcare, education, communication, transport, and many other sectors are delivering better services and ensuring that Australians spend less time dealing with life's necessities and more time enjoying life's opportunities.
Fourthly, sustainable innovation has the potential to help we Australians achieve our environmental goals.

2 / 2Given the following implementation, please tell me what are the technologies involved in the process and present the relevant keywords in a suitable format. The implementation: In an app for an online fast fashion e-commerce platform, the user uploads a video in which the whole body of the user is within frame and the user turns 360 degree. Using the data from the video, the app reconstructs a 3d avatar which is shaped accurately by the measurements of the user. The avatar has almost the same face and hairstyle as the user. In the app there are also 3D clothes that can be 'tried on' by the avatar, and the avatar can also do different poses. Suitable outfits are recommended based on the measurements of the avatar (e.g. height, length of limbs). Similar items from different fashion brands are suggested to the user based on their previous choice of fashion items.

Is online casino legal in India?
|
Online gambling laws are a complex issue in India as in some states online casino is legal, for instance, Sikkim and Goa, while in other states it is considered illegal. The Public Gaming Act of 1867 makes no reference to online gambling. This is a23t grey area of the law because this law was enacted over 100 years before the invention of the internet. The Information Technology Act of 2000 also does not clearly make online gambling illegal. So, it's recommended to consult with a legal expert before participating in any kind of online gambling activities.

Write a section for an award application detailing how photography has insipired you
|
Photography, as a medium of expression and communication, has radically transformed my perception of the world and deeply inspired me in innumerable ways. It is not just an opportunity to capture a moment but a powerful tool that allows me to bring change, tell stories and reach out to people globally.
From the very first time I held a camera, I felt its transformative power. Images, to me, are like individual pieces of jigsaw puzzles. Each, a singular entity of beauty, but when pieced together, they create a magnificent tableaux of life. It is this spectacular perspective that inspires me every single day.
My journey with photography has broadened my horizons, taking me to places both physical and emotional, compelling me to see life from a spectrum of perspectives. It has nurtured a deep sense of empathy in me, making me realize how every individual, every creature, and even every landscape has a unique story to tell. Attempting to capture these stories and giving them a voice has been an irreplaceably motivating factor in fuelling my passion for photography.
Photography has also played a significant role in shaping my personal growth. Deciphering the subtleties of light and shadow, crafting compositions, and understanding the nuances of color, has not only honed my artistic skills but also taught me patience, commitment, and attention to detail. It’s a constant reminder that beauty resides in the minutiae, the intricate details, and the ephemeral moments that often elude the naked eye. This realization has resonated deeply with me, inspiring me both personally and professionally.
Perhaps the most compelling way in which photography inspires me is its potential for social impact. The power to inform, to evoke emotions, to strike chords of change, to shine light on the underrepresented - this is where I find my drive and inspiration. It is this potential of photography that encourages me to strive systematically towards my goal of utilizing it as an instrument of social reform.
In conclusion, photography’s inspiration is profoundly multicourse, shooting tendrils of influence into all directions of my life. It has made me a storyteller, an observer, an artist with a purpose. Through my lens, I can give voice to the voiceless, shed light on neglected issues and challenge perceptions. It empowers me to shift focus, to zoom in on the essential, and to capture life in its most authentic form. In the truest sense, it’s not me who found photography; instead, photography found me and rendered me eternally inspired.

I want to eventually become a plant/manufacturing/production manager, and eventually a Chief Operating Officer. What sort of experience and post-graduate education path would you recommend? Please provide non-obvious and atypical career paths leading to such positions, on top of the classic ones.
|
1. Experience:
- Early Career:
- Most Production Managers start out in entry-level positions within a factory or manufacturing environment. These often include roles such as Production Assistants, Quality Control Officers or other similar roles.
- Do not discount roles in purchasing, logistics, or safety compliance. They may offer opportunities to understand the production process from a different perspective and could provide invaluable experience.
- Mid Career:
- Aim to move into a role as a Supervisor or Team Leader. This will give you vital experience in managing people and dealing with more complex production issues.
- A stint in customer service or sales could also be beneficial. Understanding client needs and dealing with their complaints can provide a broader perspective of the business and help you better understand the value proposition of your company.
- Later Career:

explain the basics of area and perimeter
|
Perimeter and area are fundamental concepts in geometry, each representing different properties of a shape.
1. Perimeter:
The perimeter is the distance around the boundary or the outline of a two-dimensional shape or figure. If you walk around a garden or a piece of land marking its boundaries, then the length of the path you walked is called the perimeter. The units of perimeter are one-dimensional and are typically measured in units such as inches, feet, or meters. For instance, the perimeter of a rectangle is calculated by adding the lengths of all its four sides (P = 2l + 2w), where l is the length and w is the width.
2. Area:
Area, on the other hand, describes the amount of two-dimensional space a shape covers. It is calculated in square units (for example, square inches, square feet, or square meters). Unlike the perimeter which considers the outline, the area is concerned about the entire space within the boundaries of a figure. For example, the area of a rectangle is found by multiplying its length by its width (A = l * w).
To put it in simpler terms, if you consider a plot of land, the fence around the plot represents the perimeter, while the land itself represents the area.
Understanding these measures is important in everyday life, not just in mathematical problems. They are used in various fields including construction, design, landscaping and map development.

Write a story about Anakin Skywalker encountering a Jedi who speaks and acts like a 1920s British aristocrat
|
Title: Encounter with the Aristocratic Jedi
Nothing about the vastness of the galaxy surprised Anakin Skywalker anymore. Born a slave on Tatooine, raised by the Jedi, and forever grappling with the darkness within; he had seen extremes of the world. But he wasn't quite prepared for the man he was about to encounter on a diplomatic mission on Coruscant.
Even by Coruscant standards, the Jedi who awaited them in the grand hall of the embassy was exceedingly... odd. A towering figure, clad in traditional Jedi robes, but with an air that was nothing like a Jedi. This was the first time Anakin had encountered Sir Arthur Kavanagh, a Jedi with a peculiar taste for 1920s British aristocracy.
"Ah, young Skywalker!" Sir Kavanagh boomed, his sharp blue eyes twinkling under his graying fringe. "I daresay you've grown since I last saw you as a lad at the Jedi temple!" His voice had the lilting rhythm of well-educated British gentry of a past era.
Anakin could barely hide his surprise. This was certainly not like any Jedi he had met before. But Jedi training prevailed, and he managed a polite smile. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Sir Kavanagh."
As the meeting progressed, Anakin noticed how Kavanagh carried himself. He sipped calmly from a delicate teacup, asked for scones to be served during their discussions, and sprinkled his conversation with phrases like 'jolly good' and 'I dare say!'. His demeanor was not the stoic calm of most Jedi but the poised elegance of a British aristocrat.
Despite the strangeness, there was something compelling about the man. His style was anachronistic, an odd mix of the Jedi code and the etiquette of British nobility. Yet, he held their attention effortlessly, mixing wisdom with wit, philosophy with humor. His lightsabre, when it did come out for a demonstration, was used with the flourish of an old-style British duelist.
Anakin couldn't help but respect the man, who, against the staid and silent norms of the Jedi, had carved out a character that was both unique and endearing. Amidst this peculiarity, he remembered the Jedi code: "There is no emotion, there is peace." Maybe for some, this peace came not from lack of personality but revelling in one's unique identity.
His meeting with Sir Arthur Kavanagh gave Anakin something

what are the possible performance issues in a learning program on cross cultural communication
|
1. Language Barriers: This is the most obvious issue. When people from different cultures convene, they will not necessarily share a common language. Even when an individual learns a second language, nuances, jargon, and slang can lead to misunderstandings.
2. Misinterpretation of Non-Verbal Communication: Non-verbal communication is an integral part of how we communicate, but it's also deeply rooted in our cultural context. What is considered as an acceptable gesture in one culture may be deemed disrespectful in another.
3. Ethnocentrism: People tend to view their own culture as superior to others, which can create bias and prejudice, posing a major hurdle to effective cross-cultural communication.
4. Ignorance of Other Cultures: Lack of awareness or understanding about other cultures can lead to inaccurate assumptions and stereotypes. This can affect the effectiveness of the program.
5. Resistance to Change: Individuals may be resistant to adopt new cultural practices or understandings, impacting the program's success.
6. Lack of adequate resources: It might also be challenging to access the necessary resources such as bilingual trainers, adequate training materials, or the right technology for the training.
7. Perceptual Differences: Different cultures perceive situations, the world, and the reality differently. These differences can lead to misunderstandings and conflicts if not properly addressed.
8. Difficulty adapting to different learning styles: Educational systems and learning styles can greatly vary from one culture to another. Some might be more practical, some theoretical, some preferred group work while others prefer individual tasks. Adapting a program to all these different styles can be challenging.
9. Time zone issues: In cases where the learning program is conducted online, coordinating across various time zones can be challenging.
10. Assessment Challenges: It might be difficult to assess and evaluate the effectiveness of the learning program due to cultural variances in feedback and assessment understanding.

cost of fuel for a 14 mile journey in a car with 48mpg, fuel costs 625 pence per gallon and there is heavy traffic for half the journey
|
First, you need to calculate the amount of fuel the car would consume for a 14-mile journey. If the car has a fuel efficiency of 48 miles per gallon, this means it would consume 14 miles / 48 miles/gallon = 0.2916 gallons for this journey.
However, due to the heavy traffic for half the journey, let's assume the fuel efficiency drops by half as well. Therefore, for half the journey (7 miles), the car with a fuel efficiency of 24 miles per gallon would consume 7 miles / 24 miles/gallon = 0.2916 gallons.
Adding these two amounts together, the car would consume a total of 0.2916 gallons + 0.2916 gallons = 0.5833 gallons for the 14-mile journey.
Finally, to convert the cost from pence to pounds, divide 625 pence/gallon by 100 = £6.25/gallon.
Therefore, the cost of fuel for this journey would be 0.5833 gallons * £6.25/gallon = £3.64 (rounded to the nearest penny).

How does money go from my pocket, through the stock market, and to support the business I've bought stock from?
|
The process of buying a stock and how it supports the business involves several steps:
1. **Saving money:** Before investing in the stock market, you will need to save and manage your money effectively.
2. **Opening a Brokerage Account:** Investing in the stock market involves opening a brokerage account with an online broker. With many online brokerage websites, you can buy and sell stocks with just a few clicks.
3. **Buying Stock:** Once your account is set up, you can buy the stock you are interested in. The stock represents a claim on that company’s earnings and assets.
4. **IPO or Primary Market:** If you participate in an Initial Public Offering (IPO) or direct offering from a company, the money you spend on those shares directly goes to the business. This can be used by the company to grow their operations, pay off debt, or for other business purposes.
5. **Secondary Market:** However, most stock trading doesn't happen during the IPO, but in what's called the secondary market. When you buy shares of stock on the secondary market (i.e., a stock exchange like New York Stock Exchange or NASDAQ), you’re buying them from another investor, not directly from the company.
6. **Supporting the Company Indirectly:** Although the company does not receive direct funds from secondary market transactions, there are still benefits. High demand for their stocks can raise the stock price, which not only makes the company more attractive to investors, it can also help the company in making acquisitions (the stock can be used as currency), or in raising more capital in the future.
7. **Dividends and Stock Buybacks:** If the company pays out dividends, part of your investment goes back into your pocket. Companies may also use their profits to buy back their own shares from the market, which reduces the amount of outstanding shares, and can potentially increase the stock price.
Remember, stock market investing carries risks and it's possible to lose money. Make sure you understand these risks before you start investing.

Explain the meaning of the findings from my MRI. Explain in layman terms.
FINDINGS:
No restricted diffusion. No acute hemorrhage.
There is a paucity of posterior le periventricular white matter with ex vacuo dilatation of the occipital horn of the le lateral ventricle.
There is moderate-to-severe diffuse cerebral atrophy with concordant prominence of the ventricles.
Mild scattered foci of increased FLAIR signal seen within the periventricular and subcortical white matter. Expected flow voids are noted within the intracranial internal carotid, vertebral and basilar arteries. The cerebellopontine angles and internal auditory canals are unremarkable.
The pituitary gland and midline structures are unremarkable. No discrete pituitary mass, cyst or abnormal enhancement. Bone marrow signal is within normal limits. The orbits and globes are unremarkable. There has been bilateral cataract eye surgery. Mucosal thickening is seen within the right maxillary sinus. The mastoid air cells are unremarkable in signal.
No abnormal enhancement.
No mass effect, midline shift or extraaxial fluid collection.
|
Your MRI didn't show any signs of a restriction in blood supply (restricted diffusion) or recent bleeding in the brain (acute hemorrhage), both of which are good. However, it did point out a few areas of concern.
The report stated that there's less than the usual amount of a certain type of brain tissue (called posterior le periventricular white matter) on the left side of your brain. Because of this, a small space or cavity (ex vacuo dilatation) has formed on the back side of a structure in your brain known as the left lateral ventricle. Ventricles are spaces in your brain where fluid flows through.
The MRI also showed evidence of moderate-to-severe diffuse cerebral atrophy. This means the overall size of your brain tissue is decreasing or shrinking, which is commonly associated with aging or diseases such as Alzheimer's. As a consequence, the ventricles in your brain, which are normally small spaces filled with fluid, appear more prominent or larger than usual.
There were also mild scattered spots of increased signal on FLAIR images (a specific type of MRI image) in certain areas of your brain. This could be due to a number of reasons, including aging, migraines, high blood pressure, or tiny spots of damage from lack of blood flow.
There was an expected lack of signal flow (flow voids) in the major arteries within your brain, and the area around your brainstem (cerebellopontine angles) and the canals that carry signals from your ears to your brain (internal auditory canals) look normal.
Your pituitary gland (a small gland at the base of the brain) and other structures located near the center of your brain look typical. There are no tumors, cysts, or unusual enhancements observed. The bone marrow signal is within normal limits.
As for your eyes, the orbits (eye sockets) and globes (eyeballs) appeared unremarkable. There has been surgery done on both your eyes for cataracts. There's some thickening of the lining (mucosa) in your right maxillary sinus (a cavity in your facial bones near your nose). The mastoid air cells, which are tiny air-filled spaces in your skull bone close to your ear, appear as expected.
Lastly, there was no abnormal enhancement or mass effect, which means they didn't see any tumors or abnormal growths. They also didn't see any shifting of the structures in the middle of your brain (

CKD for five years (starting with 24-hour urine protein within 200, GFR around 100, but in the last 1-2 years urine protein between 300-400mg, GFR between 60-70, most recent one being 56). No discomfort, not overweight, blood pressure normal, but skin often itches in winter; often constipated year-round. <br><br>Current medication: 1. Allisartan Tablets 240mg/day 2. Dapagliflozin Tablets 10mg/day 3. Metformin HCL 500mg*3/day 4. Pancreatic kininogenase enteric-coated Tablets.<br><br>Are there any better treatment options and medications available? Avoid or delay dialysis if possible. Are there any other exams that need to be done? What are the recommendations for exercise and diet in addition to medication? When should the above medication be switched to insulin due to CKD?<br>

You have a combination of diabetes and chronic kidney disease (CKD) that needs careful management. The medications you're currently taking are quite good. However, you may still need to adjust the doses based on your condition and the severity of your symptoms.
1. Allisartan Tablets: It is an angiotensin II receptor blocker, which is commonly used to protect the kidney in diabetic CKD patients. However, as your GFR decreases (below 30), you might need to reduce the dose or adjust the medication.
2. Dapagliflozin Tablets: These belong to a class of drug called Sodium-Glucose Co-Transporter-2 inhibitors and are beneficial in controlling blood sugar and also has renal protective effects. This medication must be used with caution as kidney function declines.
3. Metformin: It is a first-line drug for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. But, it is necessary to adjust or even stop Metformin when kidney function deteriorates significantly (GFR <30) due to the risk of lactic acidosis.
4. Pancreatic Kininogenase: Used to treat a variety of conditions by improving blood supply. The literature about its benefits in kidney disease is not very clear.
Considering your itching symptoms, which are often seen in people with kidney diseases, phosphate binders or alterations in your dialysis prescription might be considered.
You should also continue to monitor your blood pressure and cholesterol levels. Clinicians might suggest ACE inhibitors or statins in case of abnormalities.
Certainly, besides medications, lifestyle changes are equally important. Regular exercise, such as half an hour of moderate-intensity exercise five times per week, along with dietary control (low salt, low sugar, low protein diet) are fundamentals.
In terms of glucose control, the transition from oral medication to insulin happens when oral medications are inadequate to maintain good glycemic control or when kidney function deteriorates to the point where certain medications are contraindicated. Your doctor needs to make this decision based on your lab results.
In summary, I would recommend you to regularly monitor kidney function, diabetes, and other potential complications. Timely visit your doctor and adjust your medications according to their advice. Moreover, a balanced diet, regular exercise, and good blood pressure control can significantly benefit you. Don't forget, early dialysis planning is crucial in the latter stages of CKD. Please discuss your concerns regarding dialysis with your healthcare provider.

What if people only valued and took pride in the things that were true about themselves?
|
If people only valued and took pride in things that were true about themselves, we might see a more authentic and content society.
1. Authentic Self-Image: People would have a more genuine perspective of themselves and not pursue unrealistic expectations or try to live up to an artificial image they created. There would be less need for pretensions or deception to impress others.
2. Self Growth: An acknowledgement of one's genuine strengths, talents, and interests could encourage individuals to pursue those areas and enhance their skills further.
3. Better Relationships: Authenticity encourages trust and honesty in relationships. If people are true to themselves and to others, relationships could be more fruitful, sincere, and less complex.
4. Mental Health: Valuing the truth about oneself could decrease the pressure of trying to live up to the standards set by society, peers, or social media, reducing anxiety and increasing self-esteem. Also, recognition of issues and vulnerabilities can encourage seeking help and treatment, improving mental health overall.
5. Focused Aspirations: If people take pride in their true skills and interests, they would set goals and aspirations that align with these factors, leading to more satisfaction and success in their endeavours.
However, it is also important to note that growth involves the potential to change and evolve. While acknowledging the truth about ourselves can be a powerful tool, we should also stay open to the possibility of development and transformation.

I need to learn English could you help me and make a exercise
|
Sure, I'd be more than happy to assist you. Let's do a simple exercise to practice four major skills: Reading, Writing, Speaking and Listening.
**READING & WRITING**
Read the following text and answer the questions:
"Mary is a high school teacher. She teaches English in New York. She has 30 students in her class. She works five days a week."
1. What's her job?
2. What does she teach?
3. Where does she teach?
4. How many students does she have?
5. How many days a week does she work?
Answer these questions using full sentences. For example, "Mary's job is..."
**SPEAKING & LISTENING**
If possible, try to record your voice for this part, then play it back to listen.
1. Introduce yourself (for example: your name, where you're from, your hobbies, etc)
2. Describe your family or friends (Who are they? What do they look like? What do they like to do?)
3. Talk about your favorite movie, book or music (Why do you like it? Who are the characters or performers? What is the plot or key messages?)
I hope this helps! Practice everyday and feel free to ask me if you have any questions.

Why does warmth make you feel tired?
|
Warmth makes you feel tired due to a redaction in metabolic rate and bodily functions. Warm temperatures can lead to dehydration, which can cause fatigue. Also, the body expends energy to cool itself down when overheared, which can also lead to feelings of tiredness. Furthermore, the warmth can lead to lower blood pressure which can result in feelings of lethargy. Lastly, warmth also promotes muscle relaxation, leading to an overall sensation of fatigue. On another note, studies have also shown that warmth can increase melatonin production, a hormone that regulates sleep, hence causing sleepiness.
