Why is soccer so popular? | Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request.
### Instruction:
Why is soccer so popular?
### Response:
| Soccer, or football, is played in every corner of the globe, from world-class pitches to back streets. All one needs to play is a round ball and some markers to signify the goals. The same cannot be said for other sports which commonly require specialized equipment or venues. Due to this accessibility, the world has seen many great footballing talents come from diverse socio-economic backgrounds and nations.
It is a team-based sport that is incredibly unpredictable. Ironically, underdogs have frequently overcome defying odds to win. It is a beautiful sport to watch as moments of individual skill or team play can completely change the outcome of a game.
For these reasons, among many others, is why football is the world's most popular sport and is commonly referred to as "the beautiful game." | |

Can you please explain the offside rule in Soccer? | Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request.
### Instruction:
Can you please explain the offside rule in Soccer?
### Response:
| Soccer is a sport played between two teams with 11 players each. Out of the 11 players one is a goalkeeper. The offside rule is fundamental in soccer to avoid players from gaining unfair advantage over the opposition. A player is in an offside position if they are closer to the opposition's goal line than the last defender of the opposition team.
The law states that a player is in an offside position if any of their body parts, except the hands and arms, are in the opponents' half of the pitch, and closer to the opponents' goal line than both the ball and the second-last defender.
Being in an offside position is not an offence in itself, but a player so positioned when the ball is played by a teammate can be judged guilty of an offside offence if they receive the ball or will otherwise become "involved in active play", will "interfere with an opponent", or will "gain an advantage" by being in that position. Offside is often considered one of the most difficult to understand aspects of the sport. | |

### Instruction:
What is use of bezier curve in Robotics?
### Input:
Bézier curves can be used in robotics to produce trajectories of an end-effector due to the virtue of the control polygon’s ability to give a clear indication of whether the path is colliding with any nearby obstacle or object. Furthermore, joint space trajectories can be accurately differentiated using Bézier curves. Consequently, the derivatives of joint space trajectories are used in the calculation of the dynamics and control effort (torque profiles) of the robotic manipulator.

How do you get your pilot's license? | Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request.
### Instruction:
How do you get your pilot's license?
### Response:
| Learning to fly an airplane is a fun and rewarding endeavor. There are many different reasons that people decide to pursue getting their pilot's license including the challenge of learning a new skill, having the ability to travel by private plane for business or pleasure, sightseeing, or as a career option. The process of learning to fly and getting your license requires several steps and usually takes about a year to complete. The first step is to research local flight schools and potentially do a discovery flight with a flight instructor to see if you enjoy it before committing the time and money. Should you decide to pursue it, you'll need to find and go to an Aviation Medical Examiner to get checked-out and have a student pilot and medical certificate issued. Once you've completed that you can begin your training which will include both ground school and flight school. The next step is to purchase the necessary books, study sufficiently and prepare to take an FAA written exam. While you're studying, you'll begin your flight training which requires a minimum of 40 hours of flying, however most individuals end-up flying between 60 - 75 hours. When your instructor feels you're able to demonstrate mastery of all of the required skills and are able to make sound decisions, you'll be ready to take a practical exam with either an FAA examiner or a designated examiner. Upon successful completion of your test, you'll be issued your pilots license and be ready to take up passengers. On average, the cost to get your pilot's license ranges from $8,000 to $12,000. This may sound expensive, but it's worth it to have a skill that you can enjoy for a lifetime. | |

What's the best part of having children?

I love having a little hand in mine as we cross the street. Seeing my child's eyes light up when I am watching them do something they love brings more joy to my heart than I can explain. There is also no way to ever fully explain the feeling of love and happiness when I get a nice big hug, especially after a long day. I also learn a lot from having children like being more patient, curious, empathetic and when needed decisive and firm. There is not one thing I love best, but all the things! | |

According to the passage what is the best way of making progress with mathematics?
### Input:
the famous professor Johann Bernoulli made it a special pleasure for himself to help me along in the mathematical sciences. Private lessons, however, he refused because of his busy schedule. However, he gave me a far more salutary advice, which consisted in myself getting a hold of some of the more difficult mathematical books and working through them with great diligence, and should I encounter some objections or difficulties, he offered me free access to him every Saturday afternoon, and he was gracious enough to comment on the collected difficulties, which was done with such a desired advantage that, when he resolved one of my objections, ten others at once disappeared, which certainly is the best method of making happy progress in the mathematical sciences.

What are some tricks to baking a really good cake? | Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request.
### Instruction:
What are some tricks to baking a really good cake?
### Response:
| There are several things to consider when baking a cake. Paying particular attention to each will produce a consistent and delicious result. First, confirm that your oven temperature is correct. This is easily done with a meat thermometer. Place the thermometer in the middle of the center rack of the oven, where most food cooks. Then preheat the oven to a baking temperature (e.g. 350 degrees). After the oven has preheated, check the temperature on the thermometer and confirm that it also reads 350 degrees. Second, bring your refrigerated ingredients to room temperature before using. If your recipe calls for butter, do not microwave it as a shortcut. Doing so will change the consistency of your batter. Plan ahead and leave butter and eggs out on the counter for at least an hour before you begin baking. Third, pay close attention to recipe instructions related to sifting and measuring flour. "Two cups sifted flour" does not mean the same thing as "two cups flour, sifted." The first instruction means to sift the flour, then measure; whereas the second means measure first, then sift what was measured. In either scenario, do not scoop the measuring cup into the flour bin directly. This causes the flour to be tightly packed into the cup and will result in a cake that has the texture of a brick. Instead, use a spoon to lightly scoop flour from the bin into the measuring cup, leveling off the top with a butter knife. This method is messier, but will yield better results. Fourth, take the time to cream the butter and sugar well. The result should be smooth and lump free. This is the most important step to making an appealing cake, and again can't be expedited by using melted butter! Fifth, if your recipe calls for both wet ingredients (buttermilk, juice etc) and dry (flour mixture), alternate between the two in small increments rather than dumping them in sequentially. This small step will protect the texture of your cake. Sixth, once the cake batter has been poured into the pan, lift the pan and drop it onto the counter from a height of two to three inches. This will remove any air pockets that may have developed in the batter. Be careful not to bang the pan too hard, or you'll spill the batter and/or scare your pets out of the kitchen. And lastly, don't bake the cake for as long as the recipe suggests. Set the timer a few minutes early so that you don't over-bake due to any idiosyncrasy associated with your oven (referenced in step one). Please note this does not mean you should be opening and closing the oven door multiple times during the baking process. Good bakers know "if you're looking, it's not cooking," so try not to open the oven until your timer goes off. The only exception to this rule is if you smell something burning. Odds are this means the batter has spilled out over the pan and onto the bottom of the oven. if this happens, and the oven is now smoking, you have to open the door and try to remove the spill. If nothing is smoking, leave the mess until the cake is out and the oven has cooled. Back to the timer - When it goes off, quickly but carefully test the cake with several toothpicks in different areas while the cake remains in the oven. (Taking the cake in and out of the oven to test will change the temperature of both the oven and the cake). If the toothpicks are wet and sticky, the cake needs more time. If the toothpicks are clean (or a tad moist), the cake is ready to come out of the oven. Allow cake to cool on a rack, and then enjoy the fruits of your labor! | |

### Instruction:
List down few details about CURE algorithm from given text
### Input:
To avoid the problems with non-uniform sized or shaped clusters, CURE employs a hierarchical clustering algorithm that adopts a middle ground between the centroid based and all point extremes. In CURE, a constant number c of well scattered points of a cluster are chosen and they are shrunk towards the centroid of the cluster by a fraction α. The scattered points after shrinking are used as representatives of the cluster. The clusters with the closest pair of representatives are the clusters that are merged at each step of CURE's hierarchical clustering algorithm. This enables CURE to correctly identify the clusters and makes it less sensitive to outliers.

In what ways can having children improve your quality of life? | Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request.
### Instruction:
In what ways can having children improve your quality of life?
### Response:
| This is my own opinion, and completely anecdotal, but having children can help improve your quality of life in several ways. Children can provide parents a sense of purpose. Parents are responsible for the well-being of their children, and this obligation in-turn forces parents to become less self-centered, and focus on something other than themselves. The relationships parents develop with their children is also unique to any other bond. They represent a piece of you, and are completely dependent on your for everything. That dependence, when coupled with the love they have for you, can give your life new meaning and joy. | |

How do you cook a Texas brisket? | Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request.
### Instruction:
How do you cook a Texas brisket?
### Response:
| Texas is know as the BBQ capital of the world, and Texas brisket leads the pack. For true Texas brisket all you need is salt, pepper, smoke and time!
1. Purchase a whole packer brisket with both the point and flat muscle included. Prime grade brisket is ideal as it will have more fat marbling, which means more flavor and juiciness. However, choice grade will work fine for most cooks. Plan on 1/2 lb per person.
2. Trim your brisket to remove and hard pieces of fat that will not render in the cooking process. I recommend leaving about 1/4 inch of fat on the point side, and trim off all fat off the flat. Note: the brisket trimming make great fat to mix into burgers!
3. Texas brisket is seasoned only with coarse salt and coarse black pepper. I prefer a 50/50 mix. There are MANY brisket rubs available if you are looking to spice up your brisket from the traditional Texas salt and pepper rub.
4. Use a good quality hardwood lump charcoal in your smoker. I use oak as a base wood with a little bit of hickory mixed in. You can use any smoker that can maintain a consistent temperature of 225-250 degrees. I prefer the Big Green Egg, but there are great smokers available from Weber, Traeger, CampChef and many more.
5. Smoke the brisket at 225 degrees until the internal temperature reaches 165-170 degrees. I then remove the brisket, wrap in butcher paper, and return to the smoker until the internal temperature reaches 202 degrees.
6. When the brisket reaches 202 degrees, remove from the smoker and REST. DO NOT SKIP THE REST. Resting the brisket allows those hot and bubbly juices to settle into the meat. I prefer resting my brisket in a cooler covered in towels for 2 hours, but can rest as long as 4 hours before serving.
7. When you are ready to serve, I separate the two pieces, flat and point.Slice the flat against the grain for maximum tenderness. Cube the point for burnt ends.
8. Serve and enjoy! | |

Give me an example of a business model with a mission statement. | Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request.
### Instruction:
Give me an example of a business model with a mission statement.
### Response:
| Mission Statement:
Transform the transportation industry with improved customer experience, efficient operations, and reliable services with cost-effectiveness and minimal environmental impact.
This will be a good mission statement for Uber as it represents the transportation industry as a whole in which Uber can make an impact. Also, we wanted to be clear about the firm’s north star, which is improved customer experience, efficient and reliable operations with low cost, and minimal environmental impact.
Uber’s business model:
Value proposition:
Uber’s value prop is to offer transportation services via internet orderings from the customer. Customers order a transportation service via a mobile-enabled app and get instant or real-time updates about the order status. This significantly differs from the current taxi-cab model, where customers must hire a taxi-cab by waiting in line at the airport or taxi station. The existing taxi hire model has a poor experience for customers and comes with a high cost.
Activities, resources, and capabilities:
The critical activity for Uber in this business model is to connect the passengers and drivers on a demand basis concerning a location with a computer algorithm and deliver the service over a mobile app for both drivers and passengers.
Uber needs computational resources and engineers to build the algorithm. Also, Uber needs to develop capabilities to attract drivers and passengers to its platform for each market, country, and city.
Revenue model:
In this model, Uber customers will pay per hire, which will include the transportation charge, driver’s labor fees, and the driver’s car maintenance, including fuel and running and maintenance expenses of the car, and a small commission for Uber that will be the revenue for the company. On average per ride, Uber expects to earn a 3% commission for basic taxi-hire service. Top-of-the-line services like Uber-X may earn up to 10% commission.
Scope of the enterprise:
This business model's primary customer segment is millennials with smartphones with internet-enabled services.
This business model's horizontal scope can be vastly expanded to different products. Uber can start with a standard taxi-hire service, and for the luxury segment, it can offer Uber-X and Uber-SUV. Uber can also branch to adjacent industries like food delivery with Uber Eats and freight delivery with Uber Freight.
The business’s sheer scope is to develop the in-house demand algorithm for connecting drivers and passengers. Uber does not intend to employ drivers. Instead, it will lease/contract the drivers on a per-ride basis and pay the contract cost to the drivers. In contrast, the computational and other IT infrastructure services will be leased/rented on services like Amazon Web Services or Microsoft Azure. This will enable Uber to be agile and move fast in various markets while protecting its intellectual property, the algorithm. | |

What is a surf board used for?
### Response:
| A surfboard is shaped like a narrow plank. Surfers stand on the top of the surfboard and use it to surf on the ocean. They tend to be light and are strong enough to get hit by a large wave without breaking in half. Surfboards were originally invented in Hawaii and were made using the wood from local trees. Early surfboards from Hawaii were over 15 feet long and were referred to as longboards. Surfboards got a lot shorter as surfers had wanted to be more agile with them in the ocean. | |

Is Python better than R?
### Response:
| It depends on what the language is being used to accomplish. For example, people tend to start counting at 1, so R begins counts at 1. Computer scientists, however, prefer zero-indexing, so Python begins counts at 0. R syntax is catered more to statistics, data parsing, and machine learning. Python is more typically used for production applications, including machine learning. | |

Where did the marathon come from? | Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request.
### Instruction:
Where did the marathon come from?
### Response:
| The marathon is a long distance foot race that goes for 42.195 km (26mi 385 yd). The name 'marathon' came from the legend of Philippides, a Greek messenger. The legend states that during the Battle of Marathon, Philippides saw a Persian vessel change course towards Athens. He say this as an attempt by the Persions to rush into the city and claim a fake win over the Greeks. Philippides was said to have run the entire distance to Athens. When he arrived he ran into the assembly and shouted νενικήκαμεν (nenikēkamen, "we have won!"). Then he collapsed and died.
While there is debate over the accuracy of this legend, when the modern olympics began in 1896, organizers were looking for an event to recall the glory of ancient Greece. The winner of the first Olympic marathon was Spyridon Louis on April 10 1896. | |

Why is skiing a great sport? | Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request.
### Instruction:
Why is skiing a great sport?
### Response:
| Skiing is a fun and enjoyable sport or hobby for many reasons. For many skiers their first memories of skiing are as a kid with their parents, and brings forward fond childhood memories of snow days, hot chocolate and being outdoors. But what makes skiing so wonderful is that is blends both individual pursuits and as a group activity. It is a fun activity to do with a group where all the participants are experiencing the outdoors and the trails together. At the same time, each skier is dependent on their own skills to get down the trail, thereby providing the individual to have their own challenges and experience while spending time with friends or family.
Skiing offers the opportunity to enjoy the natural wonders of the mountains and experience breathtaking views. Every day brings different conditions the skier has to adjust to; visibility, temperature, snow conditions. These all factor into how the skier is going to ski the terrain, which in-turn provides variety to skiing, even if you are visiting the same mountain and skiing the same trails.
Skiing is known for having a communal type of culture. Getting on a chair lift with a stranger can often times lead to great conversations, all be it short ones, the chair lift can be a time to connect with other skiers to learn what trails are offering the best conditions, or what areas of the mountain to avoid. Skiers often look out for one another on the slopes to ensure others are safe if someone falls.
The exhilaration of speeding down snow packed trail, with views of the mountains and valleys around you, or through the quite of snow capped trees, enjoying time with friends or family, makes skiing one of the best sports people of all ages can enjoy; from little kids to people in their 60's, 70's and even 80's can still enjoy. | |
What should I do to maximize my chances of getting into a top business school? | Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request.
### Instruction:
What should I do to maximize my chances of getting into a top business school?
### Response:
| There are many controllable factors that can help improve your chances of attending a top business school such as Harvard, Stanford, or Wharton. Four of the most important include:
- Track record of impactful work experience
- Strong letters of recommendation from your supervisors
- Excellent GMAT score and, to a lesser extent, GPA
- Compelling essays
Work experience is often cited as the most important factor for business school admissions. Candidates should look for jobs that involve building best-in-class business skills (such as working at Goldman Sachs or McKinsey) or involve leading large groups of people to accomplish important and challenging projects. One piece of advice is to look at the resumes of successful applicants and see what types of roles they had pre-MBA.
In addition to having excellent work experience on your resume, it is equally important to have a track record of success at those jobs. To evaluate track record of strong work performance, business schools require 2-3 letters of recommendations. It is critical for these recommendations to be highly positive, and any lack of enthusiasm can be an instant red flag for admissions officers.
In terms of quantitative factors, Harvard, Stanford and Wharton have high average GMAT scores. Harvard's median GMAT score, for example, was 730 out of 800 for the class of 2024. Be sure to invest time in preparing for the GMAT, as candidates can significantly increase scores through consistent and dedicated practice.
Additionally, the essays candidates submit are very important. The goal of a business school admissions officer to is find candidates who are likely to reach senior executive leadership or other impactful roles in society. Your essay would ideally reflect a) an aspirational but attainable goal to reach a high impact position, and b) a clear path to get from where you currently are to your long-term goals, including a logical short-term goal immediate post-business school.
Some candidates opt to hire an MBA admissions consultant, which typically costs between $2000-3000 per application. Consider whether an MBA admissions consultant would be valuable for your process, and if so, be sure to evaluate several by having free upfront consultations. | |
There are two definitions currently used for subtropical cyclones depending on which two geographic locations? | Below is an instruction that describes a task, paired with an input that provides further context. Write a response that appropriately completes the request.
### Instruction:
There are two definitions currently used for subtropical cyclones depending on which two geographic locations?
### Input:
There are two definitions currently used for subtropical cyclones depending on their location. Across the north Atlantic and southwest Indian Ocean, they require some central convection fairly near the center surrounding a warming core existing in the mid-levels of the troposphere. Across the eastern half of the northern Pacific however, they require a mid-tropospheric cyclone to be cut off from the main belt of the westerlies and with only a weak surface circulation. Subtropical cyclones have wider wind fields with the maximum sustained winds located further from the center than typical tropical cyclones, and have no weather fronts linked into their center.[2]

how does an electric car work | Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request.
### Instruction:
how does an electric car work
### Response:
| Electric cars work by receiving energy from the battery, which is converted into power by an electric motor. The power is converted from the DC battery to AC for the electric motor. When an accelerator is pressed, it sends signal to the controller which adjusts the vehicle's speed by changing the frequency of the AC power from the inverter to the motor. Since the electric car gets is power from the battery, it usually consists of a rechargeable battery and doesn't contain liquid fuel components like fuel pump or fuel tank etc. This also makes the electric cars emit no exhaust. |
