<s>[INST] Complete the statement: In his book, To Heal a Fractured World, Rabbi Jonathan Sacks calls for us to act upon our ethic of responsibility. “As long as there is hunger, poverty and treatable disease in the world there is work for us to do. As long as nations fight, and men hate, and corruption stalks the corridors of power; as long as there is unemployment and homelessness, depression and despair, our task is not yet done, and we hear, if we listen carefully enough, the voice of God asking us, as he asked the first humans, ‘Where are you?” [/INST] Rabbi Sacks inspired us at Yeshiva University to design two remarkable cohorts of graduate scholars: the Sacks Research Scholars and the Sacks Impact Scholars, building upon the success of last year’s Sacks Scholars Graduate Fellowship.</s>

|
<s>[INST] Complete the statement: “What we discovered to our surprise is that the answer we got was the one we should have expected,” said Dr. Gidea. [/INST] “The beams that keep moving in a regular fashion, a periodic motion, going back and forth, accumulate more energy in comparison with the ones that move chaotically—that is, without any pattern.”</s>
|
<s>[INST] Complete the statement: Energy harvesting devices, which produce electrical charges through external vibrations, can be attached to skyscrapers, trains or bridges and provide a source of unlimited renewable energy. [/INST] Piezoelectric energy harvesting is also the preferred method for use with wearable devices since it is the most capable of producing the power needed at a small scale.</s>
