Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: What is the difference between common law and civil law? ### Response:

The primary difference between common law and civil law is that in common law jurisdictions, published court decisions are of primary importance to understanding legal rules. In civil law jurisdictions, published rules or statutes are of primary importance. Common law's origins are found in England, where court decisions filled in gaps in "writs" issued by the monarch. Civil law, by comparison, traces its origins to codes of laws compiled beginning around the time of the Roman Empire. While there are around 150 countries that largely follow a common law model, and 80 that follow a civil law model, the reality is that many jurisdictions incorporate elements of both common law and civil law. Even within a country, different models may apply.

Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: What is a p-value in statistics? ### Response:

In statistics, a p-value is used to test the significance of the hypothesis. It indicates the probability that the results were obtained by chance alone. A small p-value indicates that it is very unlikely that the observed result came about by chance. However, whether an alternative hypothesis with a p-value of less than 0.05 should be accepted without providing further evidence is controversial. Therefore, to properly quantify the statistical significance of results, contextual factors must also be considered, such as the quality of the measurements, the external evidence, and the validity of the assumptions underlying the data analysis.

Sure! RSS (Really Simple Syndication) is a technology that enables the dissemination of new content in a way that is easy for both consumers and producers of the content. You can think of it as a standardized way for websites to send each other updates, much like how your email inbox works, except that the content is in a format that you're more likely to want to read (like web pages).

Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: What's the best way to pop corn? ### Response:

I recommend popping it in a heavy-bottomed pot in a hot oven. You'll want the oven temperature to be between 450 and 500°F. Place a lid or some weights on top of the pot to keep the corn from spinning around too much. You'll want the kernels to be evenly popped and tender, not burnt. You can also make a pan of popcorn in a large skillet on the stovetop if you prefer. To do this, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add a 1/2 tablespoon of vegetable oil, and heat until it starts to shimmer. Add a large cup of popcorn kernels, and cook them, stirring frequently, until they begin to pop. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until all the popcorn is popped. This method is also pretty healthy, since you can leave the oil in the pan (it will get heated on the sides, but stay in the center). You can season the popcorn with salt and pepper as it cooks. Both of these methods are also good for making homemade flavored popcorn. To make one type of flavored popcorn, start with 2 to 3 tablespoons of melted coconut oil (you can also use vegetable

Was he as bad as the Bible says? I wonder if there's any other concurrent texts that might shed light on what King Herod was really like? ### Response:

Yes, I think he was pretty bad. I know the Bible says some pretty nasty things about him, but it also makes some positive comments, at least at some points in his reign. So I think it's kind of mixed.

Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: A south Florida teacher was taken to the hospital last week after she was attacked by a 5-year-old student, leaving her "dazed" and "unresponsive," officials said Monday. The unidentified instructor was found by first responders “sitting on the ground against the wall" and "appearing to be in a faint state" at Pines Lakes Elementary School, about 15 miles southwest of downtown Fort Lauderdale, according to a heavily redacted Pembroke Pines Police Department incident report. The victim was "clearly weak and dazed," able to "blink and breathe regularly but at no point was able to vocally respond or show signs of a response," the report said. The troubling incident started when a 5-year-old boy had to be removed from class for “throwing things around” and “flipping the chairs,” police said. The youngster was taken to an empty “cool down” room, where the attack on the teacher allegedly took place, police said. The teacher was taken to Memorial Regional Hospital in Hollywood and has since been released, officials said. While the young suspect is still being investigated for possible "aggravated assault with hands, fist and feet," it's unlikely he'll be criminally prosecuted, a police spokesman told NBC News on Monday. Prosecutors would be hard pressed to show that this 5-year-old had the ability distinguish right from wrong, the police representative said. The victim, in her late 30s or early 40s, is about 5-foot-4 with a slender frame, Broward Teachers Union President Anna Fusco told NBC News on Monday. She suffered a concussion and other injuries after the "enraged" special education student, between 50 and 60 pounds, unleashed on the teacher, according to the union chief. The instructor had been leading an "exceptional student education" class with a "group of children with some type of special needs or special disability, with all kinds of different diagnoses," according to Fusco. "The way he pounced on her and the way she fell backwards and smacked her head, it was a severe concussion," Fusco said. "She's got some other bodily injuries from him jumping on her, attacking her, kicking, punching, biting that's going to lead to surgery." Broward County Public Schools officials referred all questions to police. The district, though, did share a message that Principal Susan Sasse sent to parents and staff, acknowledging there had been "an incident that occurred in school" which required "a staff member to be transported to a local medical facility" on Wednesday. "At all times during the incident, our campus was secured," Sasse reported. "As always, the health, safety and well being of our students and staff continues to be my highest priority." Can you summarize it in a more professional way? ### Response:

Sure, here is a paraphrased and somewhat abridged version of the above article: A female school teacher was injured last week while trying to discipline a violent and unruly 5-year-old student, who pounced on her and severely kicked and punched her while the teacher was dazed and unable to defend herself. Police determined that it was extremely unlikely that the young boy will be punished for his vicious attack, as it would be difficult to prove that he had the ability to distinguish right from wrong at such a young age. The victim suffered a severe concussion and other injuries. District officials stated that the safety of students and staff is the school’s “highest priority.”

Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: What kind of car should I buy if gas mileage is my main concern? ### Response:

I recommend a hybrid vehicle or a plug-in hybrid. Hybrids are powered by both a gasoline engine and an electric battery. This gives them good gas mileage and they also produce less pollution. In addition, many hybrid vehicles come standard with a power tailgate or power tailgate option that can open up cargo space, which can be helpful if you do a lot of shopping or like to haul sports equipment or pets around. If you want a hybrid vehicle, be sure to check whether it comes standard with a power tailgate, because some of them do, and others are offered as an option. If you want a vehicle that can also help reduce your carbon footprint, you might want to consider a plug-in hybrid vehicle. These can provide up to 90 miles of all-electric range

Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: I hear a lot of talk about socialism but I don't really understand it. Can you summarize what it actually means? ### Response:

Sure. Socialism is an economic system where the means of production are owned collectively by the society as a whole, and the products of those means of production are distributed equally among the members of that society. This contrasts with capitalism, in which the means of production are owned by private individuals, and the products are distributed primarily to those who own the means of production. Some people believe that socialism would result in a more just and equal society, while others believe that it would lead to a tyrannical government.

Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: My son is doing a project on early North American explorers and I have a question about Christopher Columbus. Where did he actually land in 1492? ### Response:

You’re referring to Christopher Columbus’ first voyage to the Americas in 1492, which occurred while he was the privateer captain of a Spanish exploration voyage to the Americas. The exact location is a matter of debate, but what’s important to note here is that Columbus’ arrival in the Americas came about after months of preparation by Spanish explorers including Juan Ponce de Leon (who claimed Puerto Rico), and in general the idea of a northern route to the Americas was championed by the Spanish. So we don’t think it’s surprising that Columbus happened to eventually reach the Bahamas, Cuba, and Haiti on his voyage.

Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: How can I make a better cup of coffee in the morning? ### Response:

Making better coffee starts before you even begin your brewing process. Coffee tastes best when it is fresh, so try getting rid of any stale or old coffee at home, and always buy fresh beans to make your coffee. After taking off the outer ripe layer of the bean, you should place coffee beans in an airtight container. This will help keep them from losing flavor. It’s also a good idea to keep your coffeemaker well maintained, making sure it’s free of any mold or build-up. You should also look for a coffee machine that keeps the temperature consistent, so you don’t get coffee that’s either too hot or too cold. Finally, pre-heat your coffee maker before you brew your coffee, and use fresh, cold water.

It's unlike anything I have ever read before. What style of writing is it called when they cross so many genres and times like that with such a coalesced central theme? ### Response:

Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell is an example of “postmodern literature”, which consists of stylistic elements from a variety of genres. You can read a short explanation about what that is here. Here is an excerpt of a more lengthy article: “Postmodern literature often plays with the boundary between author and reader: fictitious characters and nonfictitious authors are often confused with one another. A postmodern writer often uses some variant of “fictionalized memoir”, a style which in part draws from the 20th-century fiction writer William Faulkner, whose work often included fictionalized passages of autobiographical material. Also drawing from Faulkner are postmodern writers' non-linear writing styles, their inclusion of materials such as first-person perspectives or the thoughts of the narrator, or their tendency towards metafiction. Metafiction is a playful mode of fiction that asks the reader to question whether what they are reading is real or not, or conversely to question the author's presence or the text's accuracy. Sometimes, the “fiction” is called out as fiction, but, for example, a postmodern novel might call out its status as a novel while also attempting to convince the reader that what they are reading

Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: What is the best temperature to fry Mexican Duros? ### Response:

As with any domestic frying process, the key consideration for ideal frying temperature is avoiding excessive oil (or other medium) temperature, as this can easily lead to scorching or burning of the food item. For Mexican Duros, I would recommend a moderate frying temperature of around 160 degrees Celsius, which is 325 degrees Fahrenheit. At this temperature, food fried in hot oil will develop a Maillard reaction on the exterior, producing the characteristic golden-brown color and pleasant crispy texture of the food item. At the same time, the interior will remain tender and moist. Moreover, frying at a moderate temperature will also contribute to optimum oil lifespan, and reduce risk of overheating or burning of the oil.

Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: Who is LaVelle Smith Jr.? LaVelle Smith Jr is an American choreographer and dancer. Known for his work in the music videos of singers such as En Vogue, Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson and Beyoncé Knowles, Smith has won the MTV Video Music Award for Best Choreography five times. ### Response:

LaVelle Smith Jr is an American choreographer and dancer. Known for his work in the music videos of singers such as En Vogue, Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson and Beyoncé Knowles, Smith has won the MTV Video Music Award for Best Choreography five times. Smith had originally wanted to pursue a career in drama, auditioning at the Youth Performing Arts School in Louisville, Kentucky. Upon failing the audition, Smith was given the option to study dance. Graduating from YPAS in 1983, Smith moved to Chicago and was employed by Gus Giordano in the dance troupe Giordano Jazz Dance Chicago. Unhappy with the level of pay, Smith auditioned for numerous dancing roles, while facing racial prejudice. "When that happens, you realize that you have to be even better or move to L.A. where it doesn't matter," he said later. Noticed by singer Michael Jackson, Smith landed a job as a dancer before becoming his choreographer. Smith worked on three of Jackson's world tours; Bad, Dangerous and HIStory. He also worked as a choreographer in Michael Jackson's Ghosts, and for the musical Thriller - Live. Smith appeared on the concert tours of The Rolling Stones, Diana Ross and Janet Jackson's Rhythm Nation 1814 Tour. Smith also worked for Victoria Beckham after the Spice Girl made a return as a solo artist. Smith was awarded four MTV Video awards for co-choreographing En Vogue's music videos "My Lovin'" (1992), "Free Your Mind" (1993), "Whatta Man" (1994) and Michael Jackson's duet with sister Janet, "Scream" (1995).[4] The music video for Beyoncé's "Crazy in Love" won Smith his fifth MTV Video Music Award for Best Choreography in 2003. His other awards include a SSDC Bob Fosse award and an Emmy award. Smith was also the youngest inductee into the Millers Gallery of Greats. Smith has choreographed Invincible: A Glorious Tribute To Michael Jackson featuring Jeffrey Perez and Pete Carter. Smith's work with Michael Jackson is the subject of the 2019 documentary film The Man Behind The Dance.

Bernoulli's principle is a key concept in fluid dynamics that relates pressure, speed and height. Bernoulli's principle states that an increase in the speed of a fluid occurs simultaneously with a decrease in static pressure or a decrease in the fluid's potential energy.  The principle is named after the Swiss mathematician and physicist Daniel Bernoulli, who published it in his book Hydrodynamica in 1738.Although Bernoulli deduced that pressure decreases when the flow speed increases, it was Leonhard Euler in 1752 who derived Bernoulli's equation in its usual form. The principle is only applicable for isentropic flows: when the effects of irreversible processes (like turbulence) and non-adiabatic processes (e.g. thermal radiation) are small and can be neglected. Bernoulli's principle can be derived from the principle of conservation of energy. This states that, in a steady flow, the sum of all forms of energy in a fluid is the same at all points that are free of viscous forces. This requires that the sum of kinetic energy, potential energy and internal energy remains constant. Thus an increase in the speed of the fluid—implying an increase in its kinetic energy (dynamic pressure)—occurs with a simultaneous decrease in (the sum of) its potential energy (including the static pressure) and internal energy. If the fluid is flowing out of a reservoir, the sum of all forms of energy is the same because in a reservoir the energy per unit volume (the sum of pressure and gravitational potential ρ g h) is the same everywhere. Bernoulli's principle can also be derived directly from Isaac Newton's second Law of Motion. If a small volume of fluid is flowing horizontally from a region of high pressure to a region of low pressure, then there is more pressure behind than in front. This gives a net force on the volume, accelerating it along the streamline. Fluid particles are subject only to pressure and their own weight. If a fluid is flowing horizontally and along a section of a streamline, where the speed increases it can only be because the fluid on that section has moved from a region of higher pressure to a region of lower pressure; and if its speed decreases, it can only be because it has moved from a region of lower pressure to a region of higher pressure. Consequently, within a fluid flowing horizontally, the highest speed occurs where the pressure is lowest, and the lowest speed occurs where the pressure is highest. ### Response:

Bernoulli's principle can be derived directly from Isaac Newton's second Law of Motion. If a small volume of fluid is flowing horizontally from a region of high pressure to a region of low pressure, then there is more pressure behind than in front. This gives a net force on the volume, accelerating it along the streamline.

This is really a complex question. I think the short answer is YES in general it can be a waste of money. After all, the chances of actually winning are relatively low. Probably the best argument for playing lotteries is that you might have a chance of winning a big jackpot. Some of these lotteries offer particularly large jackpots -- for example recent jackpots have been in the millions. You will however very nearly always lose money from the cost of buying lottery tickets. In most cases therefore, it will be worth it to you to purchase a relatively small number of lottery tickets to increase the chances of you winning, rather than saving the cost of the tickets and spending that money on something else. If you are really saving up to try and win the lottery, you would definitely be doing better by putting that money into a savings account rather than buying lottery tickets. In general therefore, the short answer is yes, I think playing the lottery is a waste of money.

A seizure is a type of “neurological emergency”, so it’s important to get help, right away. You should call 911 if the person is in danger of falling down or choking on their tongue. If it’s a seizure caused by a brain injury, it’s likely the person will regain consciousness soon and be alert. That’s different from seizures caused by an epileptic condition, which are more serious and last longer. A person having a seizure needs medical treatment.

On January 6, 2021, following the defeat of U.S. President Donald Trump in the 2020 presidential election, a mob of his supporters attacked the United States Capitol Building in Washington, D.C. The mob sought to keep Trump in power by preventing a joint session of Congress from counting the electoral college votes to formalize the victory of President-elect Joe Biden. According to the House select committee investigating the incident, the attack was the culmination of a seven-part plan by Trump to overturn the election.[28][29] Five people died either shortly before, during, or following the event: one was shot by Capitol Police, another died of a drug overdose, and three died of natural causes.[22][30] Many people were injured, including 138 police officers. Four officers who responded to the attack died by suicide within seven months.[23] As of July 7, 2022, monetary damages caused by attackers exceed $2.7 million.[31] ### Response:

On January 6, 2021, following the defeat of U.S. President Donald Trump in the 2020 presidential election, a mob of his supporters attacked the United States Capitol Building in Washington, D.C. The mob sought to keep Trump in power by preventing a joint session of Congress from counting the electoral college votes to formalize the victory of President-elect Joe Biden. According to the House select committee investigating the incident, the attack was the culmination of a seven-part plan by Trump to overturn the election.[28][29] Five people died either shortly before, during, or following the event: one was shot by Capitol Police, another died of a drug overdose, and three died of natural causes.[22][30] Many people were injured, including 138 police officers. Four officers who responded to the attack died by suicide within seven months.[23] As of July 7, 2022, monetary damages caused by attackers exceed $2.7 million.[31] Called to action by Trump,[32][33] thousands of his supporters gathered in Washington, D.C., on January 5 and 6 to support his false claim that the 2020 election had been "stolen by emboldened radical-left Democrats"[34][35][36][37] and to demand that Vice President Mike Pence and the Congress reject Biden's victory.[38] Starting at noon on January 6,[39] at a "Save America" rally on the Ellipse, Trump repeated false claims of election irregularities[40] and said "If you don't fight like hell, you're not going to have a country anymore."[41][42] In the same speech, he said "I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard."[43] During and after his speech,[39] thousands of attendees, some armed, walked to the Capitol, and hundreds breached police perimeters[44][45] as Congress was beginning the electoral vote count. More than 2,000 rioters entered the building,[46][47][48] many of whom occupied, vandalized, and looted;[49][50] assaulted Capitol Police officers and reporters; and attempted to locate lawmakers to capture and harm.[51] A gallows was erected west of the Capitol, and some rioters chanted "Hang Mike Pence" after he rejected false claims by Trump and others that the vice president could overturn the election results.[52] Some vandalized and looted the offices of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D‑CA) and other members of Congress.[53] With building security breached, Capitol Police evacuated and locked down both chambers of Congress and several buildings in the Capitol Complex.[54] Rioters occupied the empty Senate chamber while federal law enforcement officers defended the evacuated House floor.[55][56] Pipe bombs were found at each of the Democratic National Committee and Republican National Committee headquarters, and Molotov cocktails were discovered in a vehicle near the Capitol.[57][58] Trump resisted sending the National Guard to quell the mob.[59] Later that afternoon, in a Twitter video, he reasserted that the election was "fraudulent", but told his supporters to "go home in peace".[60][61] The Capitol was clear of rioters by mid-evening,[62] and the counting of the electoral votes resumed and was completed in the early morning hours of January 7. Pence declared President-elect Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris victorious. Pressured by his cabinet, the threat of removal, and many resignations, Trump later committed to an orderly transition of power in a televised statement.[63][64] A week after the riot, the House of Representatives impeached Trump for incitement of insurrection, making him the only U.S. president to have been impeached twice.[65] In February, after Trump had left office, the Senate voted 57–43 in favor of conviction; because this fell short of a two-thirds majority, requiring 67 votes, he was acquitted for a second time.[66] The House passed a bill to create a bipartisan independent commission to investigate the attack, modeled after the 9/11 Commission,[67] but it was blocked by Republicans in the Senate,[51] so the House approved a select committee with seven Democrats and two Republicans to investigate instead.[68][69] The committee held nine televised public hearings on the attack [79] in 2022, and later voted to subpoena Trump.[80] By March 2022, the Justice Department's investigations had expanded to include the activities of others leading up to the attack.[81] Ultimately, the Committee recommended Trump to DOJ to be prosecuted for obstructing an official proceeding, incitement, conspiracy to defraud the United States, and making false statements.[82] More than 30 members of anti-government groups, including the Oath Keepers, Proud Boys, and Three Percenters, were charged with conspiracy for allegedly planning their attacks on the Capitol; ten Oath Keepers and five Proud Boys were charged with seditious conspiracy,[83][84] and one Oath Keeper pleaded guilty.[85][86] Oath Keeper leader Stewart Rhodes would later be convicted of seditious conspiracy.[87][88][89] As of January 2022, at least 57 people with roles in the day's events were running for public office.[90] Although most people charged with crimes relating to the attack had no known affiliation with far-right or extremist groups,[27][91][92] a significant number were linked to extremist groups or conspiratorial movements.[93] By January 2023, at least 476 individuals charged had pleaded guilty.[94]

Employees like working from home primarily due to the flexibility it offers. Through remote work, employees can still produce deliverables but do not need to spend time commuting, getting ready in the morning, or rushing to beat traffic.

On the other hand, it is important to note that some of the drawbacks of remote work include isolation and reduced productivity. It is important for each manager to determine which type of work is best suited for their team to balance employee productivity & flexibility preferences.

The White House was the home of the first American President, George Washington. At the time it was built, it was one of the largest buildings in the country. It’s actually the largest house in the country, with a footprint of 19,000 square feet. In the late 19th century, it was turned into a museum. In 1902, Theodore Roosevelt turned the house back into a home for his family. The design for the current house was created by architect James Hoban in 1901, during the Roosevelt era. President Truman had the front of the building removed, and the portico made higher. This made it a bigger symbol to show how important the President of the United States was. Presidents Kennedy and Eisenhower built additional wings onto the White House, and later presidents have remodeled and updated rooms inside. It’s a work in progress, but it’s the President’s home, and President

There are a number of tools you can use to help to help your child transition from picture books to longer texts. You can start by reading aloud shorter chapter books to them, about the same length as the picture books that they’re so familiar with. You can start this a year or two before they outgrow the picture books. The first longer text you read to them might be a bit beyond their listening comprehension level, but it’s still a reasonable place to start. You can also begin providing small amounts of structured, rich language from story books, which provide a greater challenge for language comprehension. You might even start with something as simple as a favorite nursery rhyme, read as a longer piece. If your child is an early reader, you can try reading some books with them, to encourage them to read on their own, even if they don’t ask you to do this. As they become more self-sufficient with books, you can help them to try more challenging texts as well. It may take some time, but don’t give up if it doesn’t work out in the first year or so. It usually takes children three to four years to shift from picture books to longer texts on their own.

#AllLivesMatter has been criticized as excluding the importance of specifically addressing and defending the lives of marginalized people and communities, notably black people and communities and other people of color in the U.S. context. #Blacklivesmatter is considered to be a more inclusive statement that acknowledges this purpose of protest, while also advocating for the importance of all lives equally.

It sounds like you’re interested in growing tomatoes! There are many different varieties, and you can get seedlings from the local garden center. For seeds, you will need to prepare loose soil or a pot to grow them in, after carefully sterilizing containers to prevent unwanted organisms from taking over. To help them grow into strong and fruitful adult plants, they need lots of sunlight, though they can also tolerate cool, indirect light. They will also benefit from regular watering, as well as extra fertilizer. I recommend talking with a local gardener or staff at your local nursery to learn more about growing tomatoes.

Yes, the Ouija board has an interesting history. It was first patented in 1890 by Elijah Bond and popularized as a game in the next several years, and quickly became very well-known. In 1898, the movie “The Newly Discovered Black Art” used the Ouija board as an aesthetic prop to demonstrate some supposed paranormal activities. Although this movie was shut down after a few performances because of the outrage of the magician community, the Ouija board nevertheless gained a reputation for being associated with spiritualism and the occult. Between the years of 1938 and 1952, the toy company Hasbro marketed a line of board games called the Ouija game, which claimed to be based on the original Ouija board but was in fact all made up, without any association to the original Ouija board. Although Elijah Bond soon discovered this deception, he did not attempt to take legal action, and Hasbro continued to produce the Ouija game. Later, there were various ads and marketing campaigns to promote the game as a novelty or party trick, and it was eventually popularized as a board game across many parts of the globe. Several books and movies have been produced over the years that make

So the good news is that you have lots of options for getting really high-quality printouts in lots of different ways. The bad news is that choosing what works best for you could be a little tricky.
