question:Use the following highlights to write an article: Texas Governor Rick Perry announced this afternoon that he will dispatch up to 1,000 Texas National Guard troops to the border. The deployment will cost Texas taxpayers 12 million a month, according to a leaked memo. Perry has asked Obama multiple times to send the National Guard to the border but Obama keeps refusing. A Texas lawmaker said the Republican governor is not sincerely concerned about the border, he just wants to play politics.
answer:Title: Texas Governor Rick Perry to Dispatch National Guard Troops to Border amidst Controversy Texas Governor Rick Perry announced this afternoon plans to dispatch up to 1,000 Texas National Guard troops to the border. This move comes after multiple attempts from Perry's side in requesting President Barack Obama to deploy the National Guard in an effort to address ongoing border security issues. President Obama has repeatedly refused to comply with Perry's requests. The deployment is not without its controversies as it is expected to cost Texas taxpayers a staggering 12 million a month, according to a leaked memo. Critics question the governor's motives, as a Texas lawmaker has stated that Perry, a Republican, is not sincerely concerned with the border security, but is instead playing politics. To write this article, I first introduced the main issue with the Texas Governor's announcement to deploy National Guard troops to the border. Then, I mentioned the previous attempts of Perry in asking for President Obama's support on this matter, highlighting the disagreement between the two political figures. Subsequently, I included the costs associated with the troops' deployment, giving context to the controversy and potential consequences for taxpayers. Lastly, I ended the article by adding the opinion of a Texas lawmaker that questions the governor's real intentions, pointing out the possibility of a politically motivated move.
question:Can we draw the following hypothesis from the context (see options)? Context: Rye St Antony School is an independent Roman Catholic boarding and day school for girls aged 3 to 18 and boys up to age 8 in Headington, Oxford, England. It is commonly abbreviated and referred to by both pupils and staff as 'Rye'. Rye is unique as a girls’ independent Catholic school founded by lay women rather than by a religious order. Hypothesis: Rye St Antony School does not allow boys older than 8 to enroll. Select from: A). Yes B). It's impossible to say C). No
answer:A). Yes, that's right! Rye St Antony School allows girls up to age 18 and boys only up to age 8 to enroll. So, boys older than 8 cannot join this school.
question:Write an article based on this summary: – Spike Lee wants President Trump to see his new movie, reports Reuters, and critics want you to see it, too. Based on the true 1970s story of a black police officer who infiltrated the Ku Klux Klan, BlacKkKlansman has a 98% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, with critics commenting on its timeliness in particular. More: "BlacKkKlansman is a furious, funny, blunt and brilliant confrontation with the truth. It's an alarm clock ringing in the midst of a historical nightmare, and also a symphony, the rare piece of political popular art that works in all three dimensions," AO Scott writes in a glowing review at the New York Times. He calls the film Lee's "best nondocumentary feature in more than a decade and one of his greatest." Brian Lowry at CNN agrees it's "among Lee's best films in some time." He "isn't subtle about connecting the dots between the unsettling resurgence of white supremacist movements today, President Trump's rhetoric and the Klan of four decades ago," and that makes the film "feel urgent and dishearteningly relevant." Lowry adds it also works as an "old-fashioned tale of undercover work." "Ultimately the film is a rallying cry," and you leave "shaken, remembering what happened not so very long ago in the name of 'very fine people on both sides,'" writes Moira Macdonald at the Seattle Times. But as devastating as some moments are, BlacKkKlansman also entertains, Macdonald writes, pointing out the particular comedic talents of Paul Walker Hauser, who plays a Klansman. Even when giving a history lesson, Lee manages to surprise in this "crazy, memorable, messy bombshell in classic bell-bottoms … viscerally exciting, fun and saddening all at once," writes Colin Covert at the Minneapolis Star Tribune. John David Washington offers "a density rarely seen in true-blue cop roles," Covert adds, while "the supporting cast can't receive enough praise."
answer:Spike Lee's "BlacKkKlansman": A Timely and Powerful Confrontation with the Truth Acclaimed filmmaker Spike Lee is urging President Trump and audiences across the country to watch his new movie "BlacKkKlansman," a compelling and timely retelling of a true story that tackles racial tensions head-on. With a 98% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and widespread critical acclaim, this is a movie you won't want to miss. Based on the real-life events of the 1970s, "BlacKkKlansman" chronicles the infiltrative efforts of a black police officer who manages to infiltrate the Ku Klux Klan. AO Scott of the New York Times lauds the film as a "furious, funny, blunt and brilliant confrontation with the truth." He believes it's an eye-opener and a powerful piece of popular political art that resonates in today's charged climate. Scott goes on to call "BlacKkKlansman" Lee's "best nondocumentary feature in more than a decade and one of his greatest." CNN's Brian Lowry echoes these sentiments, stating that the film is among Lee's best work. Lowry points out that Lee isn't subtle when it comes to drawing parallels between the white supremacist movements of the past and present. The film's urgency and uncomfortable relevance make it a potent work that people need to see. According to Lowry, "BlacKkKlansman" also works well as an "old-fashioned tale of undercover work." Moira Macdonald of the Seattle Times sees the film as a rallying cry, leaving viewers "shaken, remembering what happened not so very long ago in the name of 'very fine people on both sides.'" However, she emphasizes that Lee doesn't just lecture his audience about the past. He also entertains, showcasing the comedic talents of actors like Paul Walker Hauser, who gives an outstanding performance as a member of the KKK. Colin Covert from the Minneapolis Star Tribune agrees, stating that even while providing a vital history lesson, Lee surprises the audience with this "crazy, memorable, messy bombshell in classic bell-bottoms." He finds "BlacKkKlansman" to be "viscerally exciting, fun and saddening all at once." Covert especially notes the impressive performance of John David Washington, whose turn as the African-American police officer delivers "a density rarely seen in true-blue cop roles." Covert joins other critics in praising the entire supporting cast, which helps elevate the film to new heights. "BlacKkKlansman" is an unapologetic and forceful examination of an unsettling chapter in America's history, connecting it to the racial issues that continue to plague our nation today. With its brilliant cast, timely narrative, and unwavering commitment to the truth, Spike Lee's latest film is an urgent reminder of the importance of recognizing the mistakes of the past to create a better future.
question:I referenced this in my answer to Why do guys pretend they don't understand when the girl they like gives them all hints of liking them too? While attending my MOS AIT in the US Army (good lord, was that 25 years ago???), a few of us had a hotel party. It didn’t get too crazy as it was mainly to get off post. If I remember right, after some folks left, there was one couple, a couple girls (maybe 3?), and myself who stayed over. I had known them all for a month or so and had spent a ton of time hanging out at the barracks or around the school area. The couple took one bed, the girls took the other, and I took the floor at the foot of the girls’ bed. About the time everyone started to nod off, one of the girls woke me, asking if I would share the blanket, as the bed was too crowded. She and I had both recently gotten engaged to people two plane flights away and had been nothing more than friends previously - with no hint of anything else… I thought nothing of it and said sure. After a few minutes, she said she couldn’t sleep and asked if she could snuggle up a little. I thought nothing of it and said sure. I started to think… hunh… this is peculiar… After a few more minutes, she asked if I minded if we kissed a little. At that point, I started to get the idea… but that was as far as I thought anything was going to happen as I thought, hunh, OK, maybe she misses her fiance. I know I do. Then we progressed to (very quiet) sex at her request. As far as we knew, everyone else in the room was asleep - at least they never hinted at knowing. We dated another month or two while we were both there. I was so clueless as to how she felt and it took FAR too long to figure out what was happening. According to the above context, choose the correct option to answer the following question. Question: Why did the girl want to kiss? Options: - not enough information - she missed her fiance - she felt alone - she was interested in the author
answer:Based on the context provided, the correct answer is: - she missed her fiance
