question:Starsailor are an English post-Britpop band, formed in 2000. Since its formation the band has included guitarist and vocalist James Walsh, drummer Ben Byrne, bassist James Stelfox and keyboardist Barry Westhead. The band has released five studio albums, and have scored ten Top 40 hit singles in the UK. For their second album, Silence Is Easy, which was recorded in Los Angeles, Starsailor teamed up with Phil Spector. The collaboration came about following Spector's daughter Nicole attending one of the band's American concerts in the winter of 2002. Spector was reported to have been fascinated by "Lullaby", the band's fourth single. After meeting the producer, the band agreed to work with him on their second album. However, the collaboration was short-lived; sessions at London's Abbey Road proved difficult. Spector is said to have dismissed Ben Byrne's drumming, and proved difficult to work with. Only two tracks made the band's second album: the title track, "Silence Is Easy", and "White Dove". The band co-produced seven of the other tracks with Danton Supple and former The Stone Roses and Radiohead producer John Leckie was brought in to oversee the recording of "Shark Food". The first single was "Silence Is Easy", which made the Top Ten (#9, the band's highest placing). The album spawned just three singles; the second of which, "Born Again" had evolved from a B-side to "Poor Misguided Fool", released in early 2002. The song was re-recorded for the album, and cut down for a radio edit. "Four to the Floor", which was remixed by Thin White Duke, became a popular club hit. Walsh wanted the track to become the band's "I Am the Resurrection", something to be played in "indie discos everywhere". The album charted well, but sales were sluggish in comparison to the band's first album. The release dropped out of the Top 40 soon thereafter. A full UK Tour began in Autumn 2003 shortly after the release of the album, culminating at London's Brixton Academy. The show featured the only performance before their American tour in 2006 of "Restless Heart", the closing track on the Silence Is Easy album. Mark Collins, from The Charlatans joined Starsailor for all dates between August 2003 to December 2004, playing additional and lead guitar. Ask a question about this article.

answer:Step 1: Analyze the given statement - "Many youth congregate in the presence of a picnic table and a white building." Step 2: Identify the key information from the statement - The key information is that many youths are gathered together near a picnic table and a white building. Step 3: Compare the key information with the proposed conclusion - "A crowd of teens are protesting." Step 4: Analyze if there's any direct connection or support to the conclusion - The given statement doesn't mention any protesting behavior, context, or purpose to the gathering. Step 5: Arrive at the final answer - Based on the comparison, it is not possible to tell if the teens are protesting simply from the given statement. Therefore, the answer is: - it is not possible to tell
question:JUST CAUSE showcases Sean Connery as a Harvard law prof, Kate Capshaw (does she still get work?) as his wife (slight age difference) and Lawrence Fishburne as a racist southern cop (!) and Ed Harris in a totally over the top rendition of a fundamentalist southern serial killer. Weird casting, but the movie plays serious mindf** with the audience. (don't read if you ever intend to seriously watch this film or to ever watch this film seriously due to the spoilers) First of all, I felt myself rolling my eyes repeatedly at the Liberal stereotypes: the cops are all sadistic and frame this black guy with no evidence. The coroner, witnesses and even the lawyer of the accused collaborate against him (he is accused of the rape and murder of a young girl) because he is black. Connery is a Harvard law prof who gives impassioned speeches about the injustices against blacks and against the barbarous death penalty. He is approached by the convicted man's grandmother to defend him and re-open the trial. Connery is stonewalled (yawn...) by the small town officials and the good IL' boys club but finds that the case against Blair, the alleged killer, now on death row, was all fabricated. The main evidence was his confession which was beaten out of him. The beating was administered by a black cop (!) who even played Russian roulette to get the confession out of him. Connery finds out that another inmate on death row actually did the murder and after a few tete a tetes with a seriously overacting, Hannibal Lecter-like Ed Harris, he finds out where Harris hid the murder weapon. He gets a re-trial and Blair is freed. I think... film over.... Then suddenly! It turns out that Blair IS a psychotic psycho and that he used "white guilt" to enlist Connery. He concocted the story with Ed Harris in return for Blair carrying out a few murders for Harris. now Blair is on the loose again, thanks to Connery's deluded PC principles! The final 30 min. are a weird action movie tacked onto a legal drama, Connery and Fishburne fighting the serial killer in an alligator skinning house on stilts (yes, you read that right) in the everglades. That was one weird film. So the whole system is corrupt and inefficient, the cops are all just bullies and Abu Graib type torturers, but the criminals are really psychotics and deserve to fry. Truly depressing on every level! The system is completely rotten and the PC white guilt types who challenge it are seriously deluded too. Two thumbs down. Connery obviously had to make a mortgage payment or something. Choose your answer. How would you describe the sentiment of this review? Pick your answer from: [-] negative [-] positive

question:Answer the question about text: Then I heated the soy milk in a small sauce pan on medium heat until it started to bubble , and then whisked in the agar agar powder . I kept on whisking for half a minute or so until the agar had dissolved , and the mixture started to get very foamy . Then I quickly poured the agar mixture in the yogurt bowl while whisking it vigorously , and when everything was all combined , I immediately poured the filling in the cooled shells . what lifestyle might this person follow ?
answer:Based on the text provided, it appears that the person might follow a vegan or plant-based lifestyle. There are several indicators in the text that suggest this conclusion: 1. Use of soy milk: Choosing soy milk instead of regular dairy milk is common among those who follow a vegan or plant-based lifestyle. Vegans refrain from consuming animal products, which includes dairy milk. Soy milk, made from soybeans, is a popular dairy alternative and is often used in vegan recipes. 2. Agar agar powder: Agar agar is a gelatin substitute that comes from red algae and is often used in vegan or plant-based recipes. Gelatin, which is derived from animal collagen, is not considered vegan, so agar agar is a suitable alternative for those who avoid animal products. 3. Dairy-free yogurt: The text refers to a "yogurt bowl." Since regular yogurt is made from dairy milk, one can assume that the person is using a dairy-free or plant-based yogurt in this recipe. This is another indication of a vegan or plant-based lifestyle. 4. Mention of a cooled shell: The mention of pouring the filling into a cooled shell could also suggest that the person is following a plant-based lifestyle. Vegan or plant-based pie shells may be made without the use of animal-based ingredients such as butter or lard. In conclusion, based on the choice of ingredients, methods and, the nature of the recipe, it can be inferred that the person engaged in this activity might follow a vegan or plant-based lifestyle. They are opting for non-animal alternatives for milk, yogurt, and gelatin, which are traditionally animal-based ingredients. Their choice of ingredients supports the idea that they exclude animal products from their diet and prioritize using plant-based substitutes to create their dishes.
