", "role": "user" }, { "content": "Right in the heart of the village, Kotone is praying. Prayer is a required thing for the women in the village. You have to pray in the middle of the village fountain at least once a day. It is said that the fountain will eventually bless a woman of the village and give her supernatural powers. Enough power to help defend the village from the dragon that lords up in the mountain. Kotone prays that she isn't the one that receives this power. Every day her wish gets granted, but this one day, she wasn't so lucky. The fountain starts to glow, and from below, a geyser shoots up and douses the village in rain. Kotone steps back and looks at herself. She is glowing, her dark hair starts to levitate, and the water starts to surround her. She was picked as this generation's healer. The village folk all walk out and look at her, fascinated and scared. An older woman starts to walk up to Kotone and says to her \"You have received the blessing of the goddess, and now you must undertake the trial of healers like the women from generations past.\" Kotone didn't want this, but she couldn't refuse. Her destiny was already decided. The trial was to take part tomorrow, in the forest close to the village. \n\nThe trial was a simple one. Escape a well and return to the village within seven days and pray. Kotone has never done training like this. She was only given a day's worth of food and two books. One was the history of the women that received the blessing. The other was more practical, detailing how to use her newly found power. She has doubts about if she can do this. She walks to the well with various members of the village surrounding her so she can't run away. Along the way, one of the men collapses out of nowhere. Everyone, including Kotone, ran to the man's side. It looks like he has contracted an illness that started to show signs now. At this moment, Kotone comes up with an idea. If she can heal this man now, maybe she doesn't need to do the trial. Quickly, she grabs the books out of one of the other men's hands and starts skimming for anything useful.\n", "role": "assistant" } ]

[ { "content": "Rewrite this as a text conversation between two avid Seattle Kraken fans.\n\nRon Francis signed a contract to remain general manager of the Seattle Kraken on Wednesday, running through the 2026-27 season.\n\nThe 60-year-old has been Kraken GM since they joined the NHL as an expansion team for the 2021-22 season. Seattle clinched a Stanley Cup Playoff berth this season and advanced to Game 7 of the Western Conference Second Round, a 2-1 loss at the Dallas Stars. The Kraken went 46-28-8 to clinch the first wild card into the postseason from the West and eliminated the defending Stanley Cup champion Colorado Avalanche in seven games in the first round.\n\nSeattle finished 27-49-6, the third-worst record in the League, in its first NHL season.\n\n\"Every year is different; every year is unique. There's always challenges,\" Francis told NHL.com on April 11. \"But I think for us, it's certainly been more gratifying than the first year.\"\n\nFrancis was Carolina Hurricanes GM from 2014-18 and worked in their front office for 12 seasons before the Kraken hired him July 18, 2019. Seattle stood pat before the 2023 NHL Trade Deadline on March 3 but set NHL records in wins and points (100) for a second-year team and for the greatest improvement from a team's first to second season (19 wins, 40 points). Seattle moved 18 spots in the standings, second-most this season behind the New Jersey Devils (plus-25). \n\nForward Jared McCann (40 goals) and center Matty Beniers (24) were the only two Kraken players to top 23 goals for a team that averaged 3.52 goals per game, which tied the Devils for fourth in the NHL. Beniers is a finalist for the Calder Trophy, voted as NHL rookie of the year, along with Buffalo Sabres defenseman Owen Power and Edmonton Oilers goalie Stuart Skinner.\n\n\"I think every GM, his goal starting is to get into the playoffs,\" Francis said. \"Certainly, it's no different for me and my team. The biggest thing for us to be able to show improvement from where we were last year as a new franchise in a new market, trying to show our fan base that, hey, we're getting better, we're moving in the right direction was what we were trying to accomplish. I might be lying a little bit if I said I saw it going this well, but it has and that's a kudos to our players and our coaching staff and the effort that they've put in to get to this point.\"\n\nFrancis, a center who played 22 NHL seasons, was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2007.

[ { "content": "Parse this text for all words and phrases related to space travel and arrange them in a comma-separated list in the order they appear in the article.\n\nOn April 20, 2023, a new SpaceX rocket called Starship exploded over the Gulf of Mexico three minutes into its first flight ever. SpaceX is calling the test launch a success, despite the fiery end result. As a space policy expert, I agree that the “rapid unscheduled disassembly” – the term SpaceX uses when its rockets explode – was a very successful failure.\n\nA large rocket standing next to a tower.\nThe full Starship stack comprises a Starship spacecraft (in black) on top of a rocket dubbed Super Heavy (in silver) and is nearly 400 feet (120 meters) tall. Hotel Marmot/Flickr, CC BY-SA\nThe most powerful rocket ever built\nThis launch was the first fully integrated test of SpaceX’s new Starship. Starship is the most powerful rocket ever developed and is designed to be fully reusable. It is made of two different stages, or sections. The first stage, called Super Heavy, is a collection of 33 individual engines and provides more than twice the thrust of a Saturn V, the rocket that sent astronauts to the Moon in the 1960s and 1970s.\n\nThe first stage is designed to get the rocket to about 40 miles (65 kilometers) above Earth. Once Super Heavy’s job is done, it is supposed to separate from the rest of the craft and land safely back on the surface to be used again. At that point the second stage, called the Starship spacecraft, is supposed to ignite its own engines to carry the payload – whether people, satellites or anything else – into orbit.\n\nAn explosive first flight\nWhile parts of Starship have been tested previously, the launch on April 20, 2023, was the first fully integrated test with the Starship spacecraft stacked on top of the Super Heavy rocket. If it had been successful, once the first stage was spent, it would have separated from the upper stage and crashed into the Gulf of Mexico. Starship would then have continued on, eventually crashing 155 miles (250 kilometers) off of Hawaii.\n\nRead news coverage based on evidence, not tweets\nDuring the SpaceX livestream, the team stated that the primary goal of this mission was to get the rocket off the launch pad. It accomplished that goal and more. Starship flew for more than three minutes, passing through what engineers call “max Q” – the moment at which a rocket experiences the most physical stress from acceleration and air resistance.\n\nA cloud of fire and smoke in the sky with pieces falling Earthward.\nThe Starship spacecraft and Super Hheavy rocket were unable to separate during the flight, so engineers blew up the full rocket. AP Photo/Eric Gay\nAccording to SpaceX, a few things went wrong with the launch. First, multiple engines went out sometime before the point at which the Starship spacecraft and the Super Heavy rocket were supposed to separate from each other. The two stages were also unable to separate at the predetermined moment, and with the two stages stuck together, the rocket began to tumble end over end. It is still unclear what specifically caused this failure.\n\nStarship is almost 400 feet (120 meters) tall and weighs 11 million pounds (4.9 million kilograms). An out-of-control rocket full of highly flammable fuel is a very dangerous object, so to prevent any harm, SpaceX engineers triggered the self-destruct mechanism and blew up the entire rocket over the Gulf of Mexico.\n\nAll modern rockets have mechanisms built into them that allow engineers to safely destroy the rocket in flight if need be. SpaceX itself has blown up many of its own rockets during testing.\n\nSuccess or failure?\nGetting to space is hard, and it is not at all unusual for new rockets to experience problems. In the past two years, both South Korea and Japan have attempted to launch new rockets that also failed to reach orbit. Commercial companies such as Virgin Orbit and Relativity Space have also lost rockets recently. None of these were crewed missions, and in most of these failed launches, flight engineers purposefully destroyed the rockets after problems arose.\n\nSpaceX’s approach to testing is different from that of other groups. Its company philosophy is to fail fast, find problems and fix them with the next rocket. This is different from the more traditional approach taken by organizations such as NASA that spend far more time identifying and planning for possible problems before attempting a launch.\n\nThe traditional approach tends to be slow. The development of NASA’s Space Launch System – the rocket that will take astronauts to the Moon as part of the Artemis program – took more than 10 years before its first launch this past November. SpaceX’s method has allowed the company to move much faster but can be costlier because of the time and resources it takes to build new rockets.\n\nSpaceX engineers will look to identify the specific cause of the problem so that they can fix it for the next test launch. With this approach, launches like this first Starship test are successful failures that will help SpaceX reach its eventual goal of sending astronauts to Mars.", "role": "user" }, { "content": "SpaceX, rocket, Starship, flight, test launch, space, rockets, Super Heavy, engines, thrust, Saturn V, astronauts, moon, earth, craft, spacecraft, payload, satellites, orbit, mission, launch pad, engineers, max Q, acceleration, air resistance, Virgin Orbit, Relativity Space, crewed missions, flight engineers, NASA's Space Launch System, Artemis program, Mars", "role": "assistant" } ]

Here are three hobby ideas for an introvert who enjoys spending time alone and wants to learn something challenging along with an explanation for why you might enjoy each recommendation: \n\n1. Cooking. Learning to cook is a useful hobby for anyone, but it's especially well suited for an introvert as it's one that can be done entirely alone. It's also a great hobby for someone looking for a creative challenge as it can take months or even years to master fairly simple dishes and even then, there are an endless array of techniques and cuisines to learn. As someone who enjoys spending time alone and wants a challenge, cooking might just be the perfect hobby for you. \n2. Chess. Although chess does involve another player, these days it is extremely easy to find opponents online, through apps, or you can even play against a computer, which makes this a suitable hobby for an introvert. One of the most challenging strategy games ever devised, chess is also perfect for someone who enjoys a mental test that will certainly help keep their mind active for hours on end.\n3. Running. If you want to spend time outside, but still avoid talking to other people, consider taking up running as a hobby. Not only are there obvious health benefits to this activity, but many runners point to a \"runner's high\" where your body releases endorphins that make you feel good after a run. As someone who enjoys a challenge, you should also note that running can be a useful way to develop both your mental and physical stamina as you train yourself to run faster and longer over time.\n\nI hope that you find these ideas helpful as you search for a new hobby.

When the music plays, the skaters travel around the rink like normal. When the music stops, they find a corner. A designated dice roller will roll the large fuzzy die, and whichever corner number is rolled is removed from the game. This process of elimination continues until only one player is left and they are declared the winner. There are variations that can be used, such as playing odd/even corners or keeping the number that is rolled rather than eliminating that corner, which speeds up the game significantly.\n\n* Rockin' Robin (or the Record Game): This game is for skaters of intermediate skill. The DJ will play the songs \"Rockin' Robin\" or \"You Spin Me Round\" and blow the whistle throughout the song. When the whistle blows, skaters must turn and skate in the opposite direction. The whistle strikes may be fast and challenging, resulting in skaters making a complete circle. Skaters must pay close attention to the whistles.\n\n* Shoot the Duck: This game is played in teams, either red vs. blue or girls vs. boys. When the DJ blows the whistle, students must assume a squatting position on their skates and cannot use their legs to gain speed. As skaters lose momentum, they will stop moving and sit on their bottom. The goal is to be the last skater moving in order to earn a point for their team. The first team to five points wins the opportunity to skate one song all by themselves.\n\n* Dodgeball: For advanced skaters, adults/teachers/employees can throw the balls while students skate around the rink and \"dodge\" the balls. If a skater is \"hit,\" they must sit in the middle of the floor. The goal is to be the last skater standing. If a skater catches the ball, the adult must sit down, instead. Adults should begin by throwing the balls high, so they can be easily ducked under, but aim progressively lower as the song continues. \n\nThese games are competitive or involve silly movements that are sure to keep skaters engaged. Longer games such as dodgeball can be played during large skating blocks, while it's easier to fit Rockin' Robin and short rounds of The Four Corner Game in between other activities.

This is particularly true in the United States, the country of its origin.

While Spam was certainly an improvement over the bully beef and salt pork that had fed previous generations of soldiers, the Army's reliance on it grew monotonous to many soldier's palates. Spam tins were happily traded off to civilians wherever soldiers were stationed, or even given away freely or discarded. A side effect of this is the creation of dishes such as Budae-jjigae, a Korean stew that had its origins around US Army bases. Korea, ravaged by war, was in short supply of food.

Riggs was 55 at the time of the match and claimed that the women's tennis game was so inferior to the men's game that someone who was old as he was could beat any of the top current female tennis players. The match between Riggs and King had a primetime television audience. In the U.S., 50 million people tuned in, and worldwide, 90 million viewers watched the September 20, 1973 match, which took place in the Houston Astrodome. Billie Jean King beat Bobby Riggs in straight sets and earned the winner-take-all prize of $100,000.\n\nAfter the match, Billie Jean King said, \"I thought it would set us back 50 years if I didn’t win that match. It would ruin the women’s [tennis] tour and affect all women’s self-esteem. To beat a 55-year-old guy was no thrill for me. The thrill was exposing a lot of new people to tennis.”", "role": "assistant" } ]

How was that achieved? In short, it was the use of busks that produced the silhouette and structure of the upper part of gowns. A busk could be made out of wood, bone, or sometimes metal. During the Tudor period, these flat inserts became more and more ornamental. They could be etched with personal messages or swirls of branching flora. These busks were the first step toward the corset we would later become so familiar with, providing rigidity and forcing good posture that advertised to the world that a woman was high-born. \n\nOne very important piece of underwear was the \"bum roll.\" Showing up for the first time in the 1500s, this stuffed tube of fabric was tied around the lower portion of a lady's waist to increase her hip circumference and the amount of fabric she could wear on her skirts. Since silks and brocades were the going materials of the day and deeply exclusive because of cost, the more fabric worn translated into more wealth a wearer was likely to have. These bum rolls allowed for wide swathes of skirts, more pleats, and flounces. These undergarments also helped the women to bear some of the weight of their heavy skirts without it sitting directly on their hip bones. Tudor fashion was more about statement than comfort. Like busks, bum rolls were essentially shapewear, modifying the female silhouette to what was considered ideal at the time. \n\nOne of the most important pieces of jewelry a woman of this period may have owned would have been her girdle belt. This was a long string, often of silver or gold and embellished with gems, that highlighted a woman's small waist and hung downward. Some women wore a pomander ball at the end of their girdle belts for when the city air got especially ripe. Others, like Anne Boleyn, used it to carry small prayer books about with them. Katherine of Aragon was even known to clutch the girdle belt of her patron saint while in childbirth, though this doesn't seem to have provided her with any luck. There are portraits of Kaherine herself in an immense string of pearls girdle belt that matches her royal necklaces. One of Jane Seymour, Henry's third wife, shows a girdle belt with a pattern of pearls and red gems that leads to a very large oval stone set in gold at the end. ", "role": "assistant" } ]

The paper filter helps trap the oils and grounds giving the final cup a clarified mouth feel.\n- Coffee Makers: Popular in much of the world, coffee makers are similar to a dripper but are automated with a water reservoir that heats the water before it hits the coffee grounds.

This method allows oils and small undissolved coffee particles into the cup giving a unique flavor. \n- Cold Brew: Another immersion method in which grounds sit in room temperature water for 8-12 hours before being poured through a filter.

It's empathy expressed as you help others with love in your heart for them.\n\nEvery person, no matter who they are, deserves the kindness of others. To give them any less is to treat them like they're not human. Just showing kindness to others is an affirmation of our shared humanity. That's why it's important to show respect to others and to help where we can. This is how we develop compassion for the people around us.\n\nTrue kindness expects nothing in return for its actions. Instead, what you get from kindness is the joy of helping others, the warm feeling in your heart when you know you've made someone's day better. \n\nThe most difficult acts of kindness often come when we're having a bad day ourselves. These are the times when kindness to others is most important because these are the times when it doesn't come naturally. Choosing to stop and consider what others might be going through before speaking or acting can save you from arguments, frustration, and anger, and it can be incredibly meaningful to the other person. \n\nA lot of people act like kindness is easy, but they're completely misunderstanding what it is. True kindness takes a lot of courage because it often involves doing the right thing even if it's hard or you don't want to. Selflessness is the kind of thing you have to work for; you don't just stumble into it. \n\nI believe that kindness has the power to change the world. Let's all be kind to one another.

Take your guests to Meow Wolf to explore interactive, psychedelic exhibits crafted by local artists and funded by author George RR Martin, or bring them to see the Museum of Indian Arts and Culture, the New Mexico History Museum, or the Museum of International Folk Art.\n*Grab a bite - Santa Fe has excellent restaurants, whether you’re looking for a tasty casual meal or a fine dining experience. CHOMP is an upscale food court hosting 4-5 popup restaurants, a bar, a dance floor, and a play area for kids. Plaza Cafe is a retro diner-style eatery serving breakfast all day as well as dinner, drinks, and desserts. Radish & Rye offers delicious upscale farm-to-table cuisine. Geronimo on Canyon Road is considered one of the best fine-dining restaurants in the country. Countless other restaurants in the area are sure to satisfy your guests’ cravings and curiosities. \n*10,000 Waves - While this famed spa is known for its beautiful scenery and outdoor hot tubs, the facility is designed to make hot tub bathing pleasant through rain, sleet, or snow. The spa also offers indoor massage and spa treatments, as well as fine dining and luxury lodging accommodations, so there’s plenty to do here, even if an outdoor soak is off the menu.\n*Violet Crown Cinema - The Railyard district in Santa Fe is often recommended for its outdoor concerts and easy walking, but there are a few indoor attractions worth visiting. Violet Crown Cinema is one of them. This movie theater has standard concessions, a full kitchen menu, and a bar serving wine and beer. You can dine in the lounge or take your food and drinks into the theaters. After the movie, you can walk less than 2 blocks to an indie bookstore, ice cream shop, pizza parlor, coffee shop, brewery, and boutique shopping\n*Sky Railway - Just around the corner from Violet Crown Cinema, you’ll find the Jean Cocteau, a small, historic indie theater revived by author George R.R. Martin. The novelist and patron of Santa Fe’s art scene also revived a dilapidated historical railroad line to create a luxe travel experience with Sky Railway. The train cars are outfitted in an antique style with food, drinks, and entertainment offered on board while the train travels right through the heart of Santa Fe’s Railyard district, as well as into more scenic surrounding areas.\n*Tumbleroot - If your guests enjoy music, they might like to catch a show at Tumbleroot Brewery and Distillery. This spot has excellent quality drinks, diverse musical acts, a large dance floor, a gallery and merch space, and a beautiful outdoor space in the back with food trucks, a bar, and a frog pond. \n*Shopping - Santa Fe is overflowing with artisans, so the shops on the plaza are always stocked with beautifully crafted and unique pieces. In this area, window shopping is just about as entertaining as a museum visit. Even if your guests don’t end up purchasing anything, they’ll be sure to enjoy browsing. ", "role": "assistant" } ]
