In most cases, the bass (or bass guitar) is amplified, and a Hammond organ is sometimes used.
Unplugged is a style of playing music. It is the performance of music that is intended to be played on instruments that use electricity, using instruments that do not use electricity. This allows you to touch the essential part of the original music and performance. In contrast to standing and swinging in a large stadium, performing in a small music hall allows the performers and audience to enjoy playing close together.
why is american football the most poplar sport in the US?
Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: why is american football the most poplar sport in the US? ### Response:
There are many sports that are closely followed by Americans. However, the most popular sport is Football. Football is popular because it is fast-paced. You have 11 players on each team who are in full-motion at the snap of the football. Football also has a defined start and end time. Unlike baseball, golf or cricket, football is timed with a clock and a winner is realized when the clock runs down to zero. Football involves contact between players on opposing teams, and the contact can sometimes be violent as players collide, sometimes at full speed. This contact creates an excitement and uncertainty among the fans, as you want to see what will happen on each play. Finally, football is enjoyable to watch whether you are in person or watching on TV.

What is the most important element of swimming breaststroke?
Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: What is the most important element of swimming breaststroke? ### Response:
Timing is the most important aspect of swimming breaststroke. The swimmer needs to make sure to do the leg stroke (kicking) at a moment when the body is streamlined and presents the least resistance to the water. To achieve that, the arm stroke should be finished or almost finished before kicking begins. After kicking it is important to keep the streamlined position for some time to maintain the speed through gliding. The exact duration of gliding depends on the target distance of a given event or race. The longer the distance of the race is, the longer the gliding phase should be. For example, for a 50m race the gliding phase could be below 1 second, while for a 200m race it may be over 2 seconds.

Imagine you are part of the city government responsible for urban planning. Write a letter to address the biggest ethical obligation behind a LASER-like system.
Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: Imagine you are part of the city government responsible for urban planning. Write a letter to address the biggest ethical obligation behind a LASER-like system. ### Response:
As a division in charge of urban planning for the City of Los Angeles, we are obligated to ensure that the LASER system delivers sustainable and equitable improvements for our neighborhoods, especially the socially marginalized ones. To that end, we need LASER to generate outputs that would not target racial groups – African American communities, for example – and in turn aggravate the pre-existing police harassment in those regions. Yet, there exists no possible source of data inputs for LASER to achieve such goal. The algorithm has been historically accused of racial profiling despite not using race as a predictor for criminal tendencies. However, our society is fraught with deep-rooted racism such that data points themselves bear the mark of discriminatory ideology and practices. For instance, gang membership as a predictor in LASER essentially serves as a proxy for race. Gangs in African American communities arose as a result of economic deprivation, resource insufficiency, as well as police harassment – phenomena with roots that can be easily traced back to age-old racial segregation. Similarly, criminal records hold the vestiges of the New Jim Crow. Therefore, using gang activity and past arrests as predictors in the LASER system only generate outputs with heavy racial connotations, which in turn reinforce and reify historical biases. Notwithstanding the problematic algorithm, we do not need to cast away the system entirely. When LASER points to places of deep-rooted discrimination and deprivation, we should mend but not aggravate. Instead of composing chronic offender bulletins, we can treat the LASER outputs as agenda for our next social welfare and infrastructure construction projects – where do we need to build more schools and hospitals? Where should the money go to create more job opportunities? Where do we need to address the problem of police misconduct and rebuild the relationship between people and law enforcement? If we cannot fix a “bias in, bias out” algorithm, we can at least attend to the information it has generated and figure out where the biases have wreaked havoc and taken a heavy toll. We can then redistribute resources and fundings accordingly so that the historically deprived neighborhoods have the chance to flourish. In doing so, we can achieve both sustainability and equity. We can expect the crime rates to go down when the neighborhood achieves economic growth and employment, and such crime reduction is sustainable, unlike the original LASER system that continues to discriminate and deprive.

When do grasshoppers become locusts?
Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: When do grasshoppers become locusts? ### Response:
Grasshoppers are solitary, but under certain circumstances, when food supplies become rare, they interact with other grasshoppers, changing their behaviour and becoming gregarious. Under suitable conditions of drought followed by rapid vegetation growth, serotonin in their brains triggers dramatic changes: they start to breed abundantly, becoming gregarious and nomadic when their populations become dense enough. They form bands of wingless nymphs that later become swarms of winged adults.

Wow, I feel so hot right now. This humidity is just killing me, I feel like the sweat isn't even evaporating off me right now. Maybe I should have packed some more water, I guess one bottle wasn't enough for 5 miles. But at least there are really cool animals here - although I could do without all these bugs. I wish there was some way to see all these cool animals without having to suffer for it. All these trees make it hard to see the view, but I'm sure it would be amazing. I wish it would rain, that would help me finally cool off, and maybe it would scare the bugs away. Oh well - I should probably just start heading back to the trailhead before I run out of water, I wouldn't want to get lost out here.

Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: What's the best career advise you could give a new graduate entering into a technical or analytics field? ### Response:
A key feature of any technical or analytics job is that you will be constantly challenged with new trying something new. You will need to learn to learn, i.e. to teach yourself new techniques and new technology, and to have the courage to apply these things to complex challenges where it's not always clear that you have the right answer (and where very few if any people can fully validate your work). For many people, the uncertainty and risk of failure associated with these situations tends to push them towards safe and known opportunities with well-tread paths for them to follow. If you crave a fulfilling career, have the courage to pursue the paths less traveled, acknowledge and learn from your failures and surround yourself with others similarly willing to stretch and grow. You will find such choices lead to a more satisfying career over the longer term.

Does Alaska have six months of darkness and six months of light?
Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: Does Alaska have six months of darkness and six months of light? ### Response:
Contrary to what many people assume, Alaska does not have six exact months of darkness and six months of light. Depending on the time of year and the tilt of the Earth on its axis, Alaska will receive significantly less or more daylight than the contiguous United States due to how much closer the land is positioned near the North Pole. The further away from the equator means the more extreme the sun exposure or darkness will be. The northernmost city in Alaska, Utqiagvik, will be plunged in perpetual darkness for 64 days in the winter time; conversely, in the summer time, a similar amount of time will experience perpetual sunlight.

Why should people drive cars with manual transmissions?
Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: Why should people drive cars with manual transmissions? ### Response:
People should drive cars with manual transmissions because it forces drivers to be more engaged while driving and lowers the incidence of distracted driving, making it the safest choice overall. Environmental concerns about fossil fuels aside, one of the biggest issues with driving today is distracted driving. With improvements in cruise control technology and other driver assistance functions like lane keep assist, cars are taking over more of the driving process than ever before. While the intent is to make it safer for drivers, it also has the unintended consequence of making easier for drivers to be distracted. Cars with manual transmissions not only force greater engagement and focus, but they are also either incompatible with, or only compatible with lesser versions of, certain driver assistance features like adaptive cruise control because lowering the speed while not being able to change the gear (which is manual) could cause the car to stall. Paradoxically, by increasing the required inputs and decreasing the number of driver assistance features, driving a manual transmission car is safest.

Do the new shift rules in Major League Baseball make the game more exciting?
Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: Do the new shift rules in Major League Baseball make the game more exciting? ### Response:
Prior to this season, Major League Baseball(MLB) allowed infielders to shift based on who was at bat for the opposing team. The shift simply means that the defending infield could load a certain side of the infield. For example, the shortstop could move to where the 2nd baseman normally is positioned and the 2nd baseman might play in shallow right field. The 3rd baseman would occupy the left side of the infield. The theory behind this shift strategy is based on advanced analytics used in the game of baseball. Using a spray chart to determine where a hitter normally puts a ball in play and with what type of pitch thrown, the defending team would shift to cover more of the playing field and therefore increase the chance the defending team would record an out based on this strategy. It was increasingly used over the last 3-4 years and some argue that employing the shift decreased the number of hits and runs scored during a game. The downstream effect of this made for a lower scoring affair and a less exciting game for a fan base that is increasingly younger and looking for more excitement during baseball games. One argument for allowing the shift is that hitters, being professionals, would adjust and try to beat the shift by hitting a ball away from the shift or hitting to the "opposite field." Hitters answer to beating the shift was to increase their launch angle and play for the home run. While the home run was an important run scoring mechanism, MLB decided to outlaw the shift from defensive strategy for the 2023 season. Hitters refusal to adjust to the shift led to this decision by MLB. The concern was games were not action packed enough and ultimately MLB would continue to lose popularity by its younger viewers, opting for other sports like Basketball, Football, or Hockey to spend their money on. No longer can you sift defensive players. The rules for this season are there must be 2 defenders on each side of 2nd base and their feet must be on the infield dirt as the pitch is being delivered. The hope is more hits will be produced, more runs scored, and an increase in fan approval created. The early opinion after the first week of the MLB season is that the games are proving to be faster paced with more runs and all around action created.

Which animal is the most faster?
Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: Which animal is the most faster? ### Response:
The fastest animal on land is the cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus), capable of reaching speeds of up to 70 miles per hour (112 kilometers per hour) over short distances. They achieve these impressive speeds through their slender build, flexible spine, and long legs, which allow them to take long strides and cover a lot of ground with each stride. However, if we consider all animals, including those that fly or swim, the peregrine falcon (Falco peregrinus) is the fastest animal in the world. It can reach speeds of up to 240 miles per hour (386 kilometers per hour) during a hunting dive known as a stoop, making it the fastest animal in the world overall. It's worth noting that different animals have different ways of measuring their speed, and some species are faster in certain situations than in others. However, in terms of pure top speed, the cheetah and peregrine falcon are among the fastest animals on the planet.
