Peter often had trouble paying attention to one thing for very long, but he was extremely fast. Peter could race around the field and bring food back into his hole in minutes. \n\nOne day while Larry and Peter were out in the field looking for food, Peter got frustrated at Larry for being too slow, and occasionally dropping some food behind him as they moved through the field. Larry was offended and told Peter that he could easily make it across the field faster than him. Peter accepted his challenge and the two rats discussed a starting and endpoint for the race. \n\nOnce ready, they lined up at the starting line and got Mr. Raven to say \"3, 2, 1, GO!\" Peter left Larry in a cloud of dust as he sprinted forward. Larry tripped and fell, but he got right back up and kept going. After a while, Peter looked behind him and didn't see Larry, so he kept going until he came across a pond. It was exceedingly hot outside and Peter knew he had time for a swim, so he got in and splashed around for a while. \n\nMeanwhile, Larry was still steadily racing toward the finish line.

You can cut ongoing car maintenance costs by driving less, removing heavy items from your trunk and avoiding unnecessary rapid acceleration.\n\n11. Reduce your gas usage\nYou can't control prices at the pump, but you can do several things to cut your gas use and save money. Try using a gas app to pinch pennies when you do fill up.\n\n12. Bundle cable and internet\nYou could lower your cable bill by as much as $40 per month by changing your cable package. And you could save more than $1,000 over two years by bundling your cable and internet service, depending on your carrier. Another option to consider is cutting cable or at least cutting some of your additional streaming services or premium subscriptions.\n\n13.

What was the average class size?\n4. What was the average student-to-counselor ratio?\n\nIn the early days of March 1968, as many as 22,000 mostly Mexican American students walked out of their classrooms at seven Los Angeles schools, garnering national attention. The unprecedented event spotlighted educational inequality, galvanized the Chicano civil rights movement and inspired a new generation of activists, artists, educators and elected officials.\nThe schools involved served the Mexican barrios of the city’s Eastside neighborhoods, or East Los Angeles, where Chicanos or Mexican Americans made up about 75 percent (130,000) of the student population. Students protested the vast educational inequality they faced: schools that were run down and understaffed, teachers that were overworked and undertrained. Class size averaged around 40 and the student-to-counselor ratio was 4,000-to-1, according to the United Way of Los Angeles. Students also complained they were being steered toward vocational and domestic training, instead of academic courses that would help them get into college.\nEarly 1968 was a time of deep civil unrest in the U.S., rife with antiwar and civil rights protests. Aware of these and other parallel social movements taking place in the country and around the world, Chicanos demanded that their language, history and culture be reflected in their schools’ curriculum.\nHistorians point to the East L.A. walkouts as the first time the Chicano movement moved from the rural setting of the United Farm Workers’ strikes of 1965 to an urban setting. The Blowouts, as they are also known, also marked the movement’s first major youth-led protest.\n“This time, it was the youth who said, unh-uh,” says Valerie Talavera-Bustillos, professor of Chicano studies at Cal State Los Angeles. “That really made people stop and think, ‘Oh yeah, these kids are right. We don’t have to accept [the school conditions].’ It was a turning point.”", "role": "user" }, { "content": "1. Almost 22,000 mostly Mexican American students participated in the walkout.\n2.

This treatment will likely include a follow-up course of prescription antibiotics to clear up any residual infection. \n\nIf the dental abscess is severe, the dentist might need to drain the bacterial fluid and completely extract the tooth to prevent bacteria from passing from the abscess to your bloodstream. Sometimes a dental implant can be placed after the extraction. Though most oral care experts prefer to wait until the infection and inflammation have gone down. \n\nIf the tooth cannot be viably treated and a treatment-based extraction the dentist will likely provide you with a prescription for pain medication along with antibiotics.

[ { "content": "Can you rewrite this to remove the names and dates from this text?\n\nIn 1904, the London Daily Mirror newspaper challenged Houdini to escape from special handcuffs that it claimed had taken Nathaniel Hart, a locksmith from Birmingham, five years to make. Houdini accepted the challenge for March 17 during a matinée performance at London's Hippodrome theatre. It was reported that 4000 people and more than 100 journalists turned out for the much-hyped event.[44] The escape attempt dragged on for over an hour, during which Houdini emerged from his \"ghost house\" (a small screen used to conceal the method of his escape) several times. At one point he asked if the cuffs could be removed so he could take off his coat. The Mirror representative, Frank Parker, refused, saying Houdini could gain an advantage if he saw how the cuffs were unlocked. Houdini promptly took out a penknife and, holding it in his teeth, used it to cut his coat from his body. Some 56 minutes later, Houdini's wife appeared on stage and gave him a kiss. Many thought that in her mouth was the key to unlock the special handcuffs. However, it has since been suggested that Bess did not in fact enter the stage at all, and that this theory is unlikely due to the size of the six-inch key.[45] Houdini then went back behind the curtain. After an hour and ten minutes, Houdini emerged free. As he was paraded on the shoulders of the cheering crowd, he broke down and wept. At the time, Houdini said it had been one of the most difficult escapes of his career.[46]\n\nAfter Houdini's death, his friend Martin Beck was quoted in Will Goldston's book, Sensational Tales of Mystery Men, admitting that Houdini was tested that day and had appealed to his wife, Bess, for help. Goldston goes on to claim that Bess begged the key from the Mirror representative, then slipped it to Houdini in a glass of water. It was stated in the book The Secret Life of Houdini that the key required to open the specially designed Mirror handcuffs was six inches long, and could not have been smuggled to Houdini in a glass of water. Goldston offered no proof of his account, and many modern biographers have found evidence (notably in the custom design of the handcuffs) that the Mirror challenge may have been arranged by Houdini and that his long struggle to escape was pure showmanship.[47] James Randi believes that the only way the handcuffs could have been opened was by using their key, and speculates that it would have been viewed \"distasteful\" to both the Mirror and to Houdini if Houdini had failed the escape.[20]: 165 \n\nThis escape was discussed in depth on the Travel Channel's Mysteries at the Museum in an interview with Houdini expert, magician and escape artist Dorothy Dietrich of Scranton's Houdini Museum.[48]\n\nA full-sized construction of the same Mirror Handcuffs, as well as a replica of the Bramah style key for them, are on display to the public at The Houdini Museum in Scranton, Pennsylvania.[49][50] This set of cuffs is believed to be one of only six in the world, some of which are not on display.[51]", "role": "user" }, { "content": "A newspaper challenged a magician to escape from special handcuffs.

If your FYP hasn't picked it up yet, we're talking about the latest trend Lucky Girl Syndrome — a new way to manifest good fortune in your life. But does it actually work for everyone?\n\nWhat is Lucky Girl Syndrome?\nLucky Girl Syndrome is the idea that as long as you believe that things in life will go your way, they will.\nThink: You believe you'll come into money, and you do. You believe that cars will get out of your way so you can merge onto the freeway, and they move. You believe you'll be invited to New York Fashion Week, and you are. \nIf you took psych 101, you might recognize this as the law of assumption: That everything you believe to be true will, in reality, become true. Or maybe you've heard it called manifesting. Or \"The Secret.\" In any case, it's the idea that so long as you believe that you attract luck, the odds will be ever in your favor.\nHere's one example, which went viral on TIkTok: Two friends wanted certain rooms in their apartment — but they didn't want to ask their other roommates for the rooms. And they knew that things don't always work out in their favor. So they decided to start manifesting the concept that \"everything works out for us.\" Turns out, the other roommates offered the two friends the rooms they wanted. Moral of the story: Think positive.\nBut not everyone can just make their own luck...can they?\nWell, it might not be all about luck. A quick review of your FYP might confirm that all the ‘lucky girls’ fit perfectly into society’s beauty standards. Most of the TikTokers gushing over Lucky Girl Syndrome are white, thin, and conventionally attractive. Coincidence? Probably not. Sometimes systemic biases can create or block opportunities for some people. Something to be mindful of when you’re thinking of testing this trend out.\ntheSkimm\nLooking on the bright side and believing that things will work out for you can have a positive impact on your mental health.

They do have a controversy on whether they are entirely safe to be using or not. Do they cause cancer? Do they make food less nutrient-rich? Are they safe for heating water?\nMicrowaves do use radio waves to heat food and emit radiation. However, the type of radiation is non-ionizing and does not have the power to change your DNA, and is not as dangerous as an X-ray. \nThere have been no sustained cases of microwaves causing cancer. Further, the FDA monitors the amount of radiation that manufacturers are allowed to have leaked from microwaves and it is minuscule. If your microwave is in disrepair the amount could be higher so it's best to replace them. It is also advised that people do not stand directly in front of microwaves while in use.\nMaking a cup of boiling water in the microwave might be more of a hazard than you think. If you are looking for a quick way to boil water it might be best to think again before popping it in the microwave. By doing so, the water can be superheated and when disturbed can erupt. The water may seem innocuous enough, but add in some instant coffee, stir it, or drop in a teabag and the water can suddenly, violently boil over. This has led to severe burns. Superheating occurs when liquids are quickly heated much past their boiling point. This makes it so that the liquid does not have time to release the steam. Watch out for this as it can cause injury.\nIt has been thought that microwaving foods cause them to lose their nutritional value. This has been thought because people who regularly use the microwave are generally less healthy than those that do so less often. Correlation does not equal causation in this case though. It seems that in general the health of those using the microwave is less because they are picking foods that are marketed for the microwave. These foods often have less nutritional value. When cooked in the microwave versus the stove food was found to have retained more nutritional value because it was cooked for a shorter period. \nOverall, take general precautions, use common sense and the microwave should be pretty safe.\n", "role": "assistant" } ]

It's important that they know no matter how long they’re in there, you will always let them out. ", "role": "assistant" } ]

Whether you've got the winter blues, or maybe work is getting you down, here are 7 little things you can do to make yourself feel better: \n\n1. Talk to a friend. Telling someone what's been getting you down can be very cathartic. Maybe they will lend you an empathetic ear or offer you advice. Either way, it's helpful to know you have people who are on your side, and you're not alone.\n2. Listen to music. I once heard a phrase that resonated with me: \"When words fail, music speaks.\" No matter what you're feeling, I can guarantee there's a song that explains the way you feel. Put on your sad song playlist and have a good cry (this seems counter-productive, but I promise you'll feel better afterward), listen to something high-energy and upbeat, or just indulge in your all-time favorites. \n3. Treat yourself. Rewarding yourself is a great way to make yourself feel better. Maybe you've been eyeing up a new outfit - don't think twice. You deserve it! \n4. Eat something you love. If you're feeling down, food can be a real mood booster. Sometimes a slice of cake or a juicy cheeseburger is just what we need to perk ourselves up a little.\n5. Cook or bake. Even if you're not so good at it, cooking or baking something is a fun way to cheer yourself up. Learning a new recipe, or having a loved one over to bake some delicious sweet treats, is a great distraction from stress and sadness.\n6. Play a video game. No matter what kind of games you like to play, playing a video game is a great way to cheer yourself up. Maybe you're taking your stress out on some zombies in a shooter or exploring some breathtaking scenery in an open-world adventure. Either way, video games are a great distraction and a mood booster.\n7. Spend time with furry friends. Nothing cheers me up more than hanging out with my pup.

Could you rewrite it to make it sound more polite and simple so a 5th grader could understand it?\n\nPeople often say the key to confidence and success in life is to simply “not give a fuck.” Indeed, we often refer to the strongest, most admirable people we know in terms of their lack of fucks given. Like “Oh, look at Susie working weekends again, she doesn’t give a fuck.” Or “Did you hear that Tom called the company president an asshole and still got a raise anyway? Holy shit, that dude does not give a fuck.” Or “Jason got up and ended his date with Cindy after 20 minutes. He said he wasn’t going to listen to her bullshit anymore. Man, that guy does not give a fuck.”\n\nChances are you know somebody in your life who, at one time or another, did not give a fuck and went on to accomplish amazing feats.

A bag of burritos sounds awesome, so let’s just go with it.\n\nThe point is, most of us struggle throughout our lives by giving too many fucks in situations where fucks do not deserve to be given. We give a fuck about the rude gas station attendant who gave us too many nickels. We give a fuck when a show we liked was canceled on TV. We give a fuck when our coworkers don’t bother asking us about our awesome weekend. We give a fuck when it’s raining and we were supposed to go jogging in the morning.\n\nFucks given everywhere. Strewn about like seeds in mother-fucking spring time. And for what purpose? For what reason? Convenience? Easy comforts? A pat on the fucking back maybe?\n\nThis is the problem, my friend.\n\nBecause when we give too many fucks, when we choose to give a fuck about everything, then we feel as though we are perpetually entitled to feel comfortable and happy at all times, that’s when life fucks us.", "role": "user" }, { "content": "People say that you'd have to not care too much to get confidence and success.

Can you give me a list and explain how to do them?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "Here are some exercises you can do to train your legs without needing weights. \n\n1. Squats\nSquats have long been regarded as the best way to build strong legs and butt. The squat mainly works your quads, glutes, and core but will also work your hamstrings to a lesser extent.\n\nTo do a squat stand with your feet hip or shoulder width apart in a stable stance. From there, push your hips back as if you were going to sit down. While the hips are moving back, let your knees bend and move down until you feel the strain. Be sure to try and maintain vertical shins throughout the exercise. Once you are at your lowest point, you can begin to push yourself back up to a standing position. You can make this harder by adding a heavy backpack or holding something in each hand so long as the objects are equal in weight.\n\n2. Jump Squat\nSimilar to the standard squat, you can use a jump squat to improve your power and increase the intensity of the exercise. A jump squat will be more beneficial when building your fast-twitch muscle fibers. \n\nPerforming a jump squat is as easy as it sounds. Start off in a squat position and perform a standard squat. Once you are at your low point, use the power in your legs to jump up and make sure to land softly in the same position you started. Try to maintain form with this exercise. Keeping your legs controlled when jumping will also help to increase core strength. \n\n3. Lunge\nA lunge requires immense stability as you split your hips in half. A great exercise for your glutes, quads, and hamstrings, a lunge can be done pretty much anywhere. A lunge will also help you work your hip stabilizers as you try to maintain balance. \n\nA lunge is done by standing in a normal position with your feet. From here, extend one leg backward until both of your knees are at a 90-degree angle. Your front knee should not go past your toes. From here, push off with your back leg to regain your original stance. Repeat this for both legs as many times as you wish.\n\n4. Jump Lunge\nJust as a jump squat increases your fast-twitch muscle fibers, so will a jump lunge. A great exercise for building power in your legs. This exercise is not easy, so be careful when trying it, and ensure you are comfortable with a standard lunge first. \n\nTo do a Jump lunge, get into a lunge position as you would normally. From the point where your knees are bent, you can now jump up and alternate your legs in the air. This should be performed in a controlled way so that you land softly. \n\n5. Side Lunge\nA side lunge is similar to a normal lunge but has key differences. Firstly this exercise will work your abductors, glutes, and quads. Working different leg muscles on a lateral plane rather than a linear one is a good exercise. This is important as the range of motion we experience with our legs daily is large. \n\nStart off in a standing position. Next, move one leg out to the side. Imagine it's just one leg in a normal squat position. Your knee should be bent but not past your toes. Your other leg should be straight. From here, simply return to standing and alternate the legs as you go. \n\n6. Sumo Squat\nWe've done normal squats, so now here is the sumo squat. The sumo squat pays particular attention to your adductors, glutes, and quads. \n\nStart off by standing as a sumo with your legs wider than your shoulders to where it is comfortable. Keep your toes slightly pointed away from your body. From this position, perform a squat as you would usually, and again, be sure that your knee doesn't extend past your foot and that your shin stays as vertical as it can. \n\n\n\n\n", "role": "assistant" } ]

They dedicate their lives to the pursuit of arcane knowledge and uncovering the secrets of the world. They’re extremely powerful spellcasters and with the right items, they could be unstoppable. Here is a list of five magic items for wizards!\n\n5. Ring of Spell Storing\nThe Ring of Spell Storing is a must-have for wizards, especially low-level wizards. This item allows you to store up to five levels of spells within it to use at a later time. You can even cast the spells and give the ring to another player to use. Low-level players have fewer spell slots, and the spells within the ring are held there indefinitely until they are used. This could be very advantageous for managing spell slots in combat when the chances of a long rest are slim.\n\n4. Arcane Grimoire\nThe Arcane Grimoire can replace a wizard’s standard spellbook and grant bonuses to the spell save DC and attack bonus. Depending on rarity, the bonus can be +1, +2, or +3. It also allows wizards to regain an additional spell slot when they use their arcane recovery feature - which lets them recover a limited amount of spell slots during a short rest.\nThis is a great item because of its spellcasting bonuses, ensuring more of your spells are effective in and out of combat.\n\n3. Rod of Absorption\nWizards are very powerful and can wreak havoc on a battlefield. But sadly they don’t tend to fare well when it comes to getting hit. The Rod of Absorption comes in handy to help against spell attacks. A wizard attuned to this item can use their reaction when they’re targeted by a spell that only targets one creature to absorb the energy of the spell. The rod holds 50 charges of spell slots (for example a level 4 spell is equal to 4 charges) and the attuned wizard can then use the energy from within the rod to create more spell slots for themselves.\nThis is an excellent item for wizards with low armor class that would be instantly killed by an upcasted Inflict Wounds. Plus, the bonus spell slots are always useful.\n\n2. Tome of Clear Thought\nBecause wizards are intelligence-based spellcasters, having an item that allows your intelligence maximum to increase can be game-changing. By studying the Tome of Clear thought the character's intelligence score is increased by 2 and so is their intelligence maximum. That means that instead of the 20 cap, players with this item can reach 22. That effectively gives the player an additional +1 to their spellcasting ability.\n\n1 Arch Magi Items (robe or staff)\nThe Robe of the Arch Magi and the Staff of the Magi are two of the most powerful items in the entire game. Both items grant bonuses to the attuned character's spell save DC and attack bonuses, but they also give players access to other spells and bonuses to their armor class.\nThese items are perfect for building a more resilient wizard while also granting a myriad of other bonuses.\n", "role": "assistant" } ]

[ { "content": "Give me a bulleted list of the causes of the Hundred Years’ War from this article:\nThe root causes of the conflict can be traced to the crisis of 14th-century Europe. The outbreak of war was motivated by a gradual rise in tension between the kings of France and England over territory; the official pretext was the question that arose because of the interruption of the direct male line of the Capetian dynasty.\nTensions between the French and English crowns had gone back centuries to the origins of the English royal family, which was French (Norman, and later, Angevin) in origin because of William the Conqueror, the Norman duke who became King of England in 1066. English monarchs had therefore historically held titles and lands within France, which made them vassals to the kings of France. The status of the English king's French fiefs was a major source of conflict between the two monarchies throughout the Middle Ages. French monarchs systematically sought to check the growth of English power, stripping away lands as the opportunity arose, particularly whenever England was at war with Scotland, an ally of France. English holdings in France had varied in size, at some points dwarfing even the French royal domain; by 1337, however, only Gascony was English.\nIn 1328, Charles IV of France died without any sons or brothers, and a new principle, Salic law, disallowed female succession. Charles's closest male relative was his nephew Edward III of England, whose mother, Isabella, was Charles's sister. Isabella claimed the throne of France for her son by the rule of proximity of blood, but the French nobility rejected this, maintaining that Isabella could not transmit a right she did not possess. An assembly of French barons decided that a native Frenchman should receive the crown, rather than Edward.[2]\nSo the throne passed instead to Charles's patrilineal cousin, Philip, Count of Valois. Edward protested but ultimately submitted and did homage for Gascony. Further French disagreements with Edward induced Philip, during May 1337, to meet with his Great Council in Paris. It was agreed that Gascony should be taken back into Philip's hands, which prompted Edward to renew his claim for the French throne, this time by force of arms.[3]", "role": "user" }, { "content": "- Rise in tension between the kings of France and England over territory\n- Interruption of the direct male line of the Capetian dynasty\n- French King Philip decided to take back English Gascony \n- English King Edward III tried to claim the French throne by force of arms", "role": "assistant" } ]

The due date given is around three months from now, on September 1, 2023. I was given the responsibility of taking the lead for the project. I was also given the freedom to choose the team I would like to assist me in completing this project. Keeping this in mind, I'd like to invite you to join the team as an assistant team leader. You have a great grasp of coding and design, and I think these would be the most beneficial to our team as far as getting the front end of the project completed within this tight timetable.\n\nThis project would best be served by your skills in the following areas:\n\n1. Front-end development - you know best how the layout should look on a web page, as well as all the buttons and links that are needed to ensure the client gets what they paid for;\n2. Coding - only a few people on the team know HTML, Python, or C++, and you know all three of them very well, which would help us immensely;\n3. Experience - you have been with the company long enough to have a large bit of experience that can help see this project to completion.\n\nMy responsibility for this project will be coordinating efforts from team members and ensuring the work quality is up to par and we meet the necessary milestones given by the bosses. In addition, I was also tasked with assisting some of the other team members with the back end, which I anticipate will take up the majority of my time each day working on this thing.\n\nIf you can help me out and join the team, your help will be appreciated greatly. Please let me know.\n\nThank you,\nEmployee", "role": "assistant" } ]
