[ { "from": "human", "value": "Background: So much rain falling so fast causes some of the damage from a hurricane. But a lot of the damage is caused by storm surge. Storm surge is very high water located in the low pressure eye of the hurricane. The very low pressure of the eye allows the water level to rise above normal sea level. Storm surge can cause flooding when it reaches land ( Figure below ). High winds do a great deal of damage in hurricanes. High winds can also create very big waves. If the large waves are atop a storm surge, the high water can flood the shore. If the storm happens to occur at high tide, the water will rise even higher. Paragraph: Two coastal cities were affected by a cat 5 Hurricane. Red city took the full impact, but Purple city, situated 40 miles inland, avoided the brunt of the damage. Given the paragraph above, please answer correctly the following question: Which city experienced more high waves from the hurricane?\n" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "To determine which city experienced more high waves from the hurricane, we need to consider the factors mentioned in the background information.\n\n1. **Location relative to the coast**: Red city took the full impact of the hurricane, which would include the storm surge, high winds, and large waves generated by the storm. In contrast, Purple city is situated 40 miles inland, which would typically shield it from the direct effects of the hurricane's waves.\n\n2. **Storm surge and waves**: The background explains that storm surge results in high water levels that can lead to flooding, especially when combined with large waves. Red city, being directly affected by the hurricane, would likely have experienced higher storm surge levels and larger waves, whereas Purple city, being further inland, would be less exposed to those wave effects.\n\n3. **High winds and wave generation**: High winds are a significant contributor to creating large waves. Since Red city experienced the full impact of the hurricane's winds, it would also have been subjected to the strongest winds that help generate those high waves.\n\nBased on this analysis, it is clear that **Red city** experienced more high waves from the hurricane compared to Purple city, which, being 40 miles inland, would have experienced significantly less wave activity and damage." } ]

With Morton, the New York Dolls recorded Too Much Too Soon in 1974 at A&R Studios in New York City. The album was later mastered at Sterling Sound and Masterdisk. During the sessions, Morton had Johansen record his vocals several times and incorporated sound effects such as gongs, gunshots, and feminine choruses. In a report on the album's progress for Melody Maker, journalist Lenny Kaye wrote that they were taking more time than they had on their first record, \"bringing in occasional strings and horns, following Shadow's advice not 'to settle'.\" Morton and the band shared an affinity for each other, as he found the group's energy in the studio refreshing, while Johansen was fond of Morton and the \"looser\" feel he provided for their music. \"That man is completely unpretentious\", Johansen said of the producer. \"He doesn't think he ever did a marvellous thing in his life.\" The New York Dolls and Morton produced little original material together. To complete the album, they had to record cover songs and re-record some of the band's earlier demos; \"Babylon\", \"Who Are the Mystery Girls?\", \"It's Too Late\" and \"Human Being\" had been recorded by the band in March 1973 as demos for Mercury before the label signed them. They had also recorded demos of two songs written by guitarist Sylvain Sylvain, \"Teenage News\" and \"Too Much Too Soon\", before working with Morton, but neither was considered for the album. Sylvain said he confronted Morton about this decision, recalling he had been in a rush: \"He was too quick with me and said that he'd been told only to listen to David Johansen and Johnny Thunders. He didn't want to tell me who had told him that but obviously it was the managers. I just walked out, it was all driving me nuts.\"According to journalist Tony Fletcher, Morton would have been more productive on Too Much Too Soon had it not been for his alcoholism and the lifestyles of the band members—bassist Arthur Kane was also an alcoholic, while Thunders and drummer Jerry Nolan had heroin addictions.

[ { "from": "human", "value": "Describe the relationship between leptin and cardiovascular health." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Leptin is a hormone primarily produced by adipose (fat) tissue and is involved in the regulation of energy balance, appetite suppression, and metabolism. Its relationship with cardiovascular health is complex and multifaceted.\n\n1. **Regulation of Body Weight and Metabolism**: Leptin helps regulate body weight by signaling to the brain when to reduce appetite and increase energy expenditure. Healthy leptin signaling is crucial for maintaining a healthy body weight, which directly impacts cardiovascular health. Obesity often leads to leptin resistance, a condition where the body does not respond effectively to leptin. This can result in increased appetite and further weight gain, contributing to metabolic disorders such as type 2 diabetes, which are known risk factors for cardiovascular diseases.\n\n2. **Endothelial Function**: Leptin has been shown to influence endothelial function, which is the ability of blood vessels to dilate and regulate blood flow. Although leptin can have vasodilatory effects at moderate levels, elevated leptin levels, often found in obesity, can lead to endothelial dysfunction. This dysfunction is a precursor to atherosclerosis and other cardiovascular problems.\n\n3. **Inflammation and Atherosclerosis**: Leptin has pro-inflammatory properties, and elevated levels are associated with increased inflammation in the body. Chronic inflammation is a contributing factor to the development of atherosclerosis, whereby plaque builds up in the arteries, increasing the risk of heart attacks and strokes.\n\n4. **Hypertension**: There is evidence suggesting that increased leptin levels may be linked to hypertension (high blood pressure). Leptin can promote sympathetic nervous system activation, leading to increased heart rate and vascular resistance, contributing to raised blood pressure.\n\n5. **Cardiac Function**: Some studies indicate that high levels of leptin may be related to adverse cardiac outcomes, including an increased risk of heart failure. Leptin can affect cardiac contractility and remodeling, impacting heart function negatively when levels are excessively high.\n\nIn summary, while leptin plays crucial roles in regulating energy balance and metabolism, its dysregulation (particularly in the context of obesity) can contribute to various cardiovascular issues, including endothelial dysfunction, inflammation, hypertension, and heart disease. Thus, maintaining a balance in leptin levels is essential for cardiovascular health. Continued research is necessary to fully elucidate these relationships and explore potential therapeutic interventions targeting leptin signaling in the context of cardiovascular disease." } ]

Question: Where is the house located? Movie title: Run Lola Run Movie plot: Introduction[edit] Lola (Franka Potente) receives a frantic phone call from her boyfriend, Manni (Moritz Bleibtreu). Manni is a small-time criminal who has just collected 100,000 marks cash in his most recent crime. Lola had agreed to meet Manni at the crime scene and to drive him to deliver the money to his boss, Ronnie. Lola tried to do so, but her moped was stolen en route to meet Manni. When Lola failed to arrive on time, Manni, carrying the cash in a bag, took a subway train. Manni panicked when he saw ticket inspectors in his car. He fled and thoughtlessly left the bag of money on the subway because he does not have a subway ticket. As he does, Manni spotted a homeless man examining Manni's money bag in the subway car. Manni, realizing what he had done, pursued the train as it departed, only to find the man and the money gone. Manni calls Lola from a phone booth. He complains that Lola let him down. He tells Lola that unless he raises 100,000 marks to give Ronnie within 20 minutes, Ronnie will kill him. Manni also tells Lola of his plan to rob a nearby supermarket—which for several obvious reasons is unwise. Lola implores Manni to wait and promises to find the money. She decides to ask her father (Herbert Knaup), who is a bank manager, for help. After this telephone call, the rest of the film is divided into three \"runs\" by Lola, in each of which she tries to obtain the money and save Manni. Each run starts from the same situation, but develops differently and has a different outcome. Each run has brief flashforward sequences that show how the lives of the people that Lola bumps into develop after the encounter.

(Sebelius is from Kansas.) \n \n Most frequent topics: \n \n - – The President’s past assertion that “if you like your plan, you can keep your plan” and news that after 2010 some plans have been cancelled. \n \n - – Whether the individual mandate should be delayed given the website problems and the delay in the employer mandate. \n \n - – Who is to blame for: a) the lack of adequate testing (Answer: no one specific was named), b) the decision to make individuals register before they could browse plans (Answer: Michelle Snyder of CMS) c) the decision to launch the website when it wasn’t ready (Answer: Sebelius said she told the president the site was ready, based on staff guidance. She stressed that no one predicted the avalanche of problems that happened) \n \n \n \n 12:35 p.m. ET \n \n After a sharp exchange with a Republican Congressman, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said Wednesday she would \"gladly join\" the new health insurance exchange under Obamacare if she didn't have affordable coverage under the federal program for government officials. \n \n 12:32 p.m. ET \n \n Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said on Wednesday the decision to require people to sign up on the Obamacare website before they could shop for rates was \"wrong.\" Outside contractors have said a change in plans shortly before the botched October 1 launch of the website prevented people from \"window-shopping\" without signing up, increasing the initial volume that officials cite as the main cause of the online problems. Sebelius said the decision to make the change came from Marilyn Tavenner, who heads the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services in her department. \n \n \n \n 12:31 p.m. ET \n \n To the best of your knowledge, has a man ever given birth to a baby? As the hearing moved toward its end, Rep. Renee Ellmers, R-North Carolina, asked Secretary Sebelius that question, aiming to highlight that some men may be forced to buy maternity coverage as part of an insurance package under Obamacare. Sebelius responded that some men do need maternity coverage for their spouse and family, who could be covered under their policy. Ellmers insisted this is an example of why health care costs are going up, insurance coverage that may not be necessary for everyone. \n \n 12:18 p.m. ET \n \n By the way: While Sebelius was still getting grilled at the hearing, Roger Daltrey, lead singer of the legendary band “The Who,” was performing at an unveiling of a Winston Churchill bust in the Capitol Rotunda singing “Stand by Me” and “Won’t Get Fooled Again.” \n \n 12:04 p.m. ET \n \n A member of Congress has sparked some applause. Rep. Cory Gardner, R-Colorado, blasted HHS Secretary Sebelius for not getting her own health care through the exchanges set up by Obamacare. Sebelius explained that by law she receives the Federal Health Employee Benefits plan, which includes most federal workers. Gardner held up a letter that he said was a cancellation notice for his family's police and as he continued to ask Sebelius why she herself wasn't in the exchange, some scattered but noticeable claps came from the crowded hearing room. \n \n 12:03 p.m. \n \n Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said Wednesday that she told President Barack Obama the website for his signature health care reforms was \"ready to go\" for its October 1 launch, adding: \"Clearly, I was wrong. We were wrong.\" \n \n 11:57 a.m. ET \n \n An internal government memo obtained by CNN and written just days before the Obamacare open enrollment warned of a \"high\" security risk due to a lack of testing of the healthcare.gov website. \"Due to system readiness issues, the (Security Control Assessment) SCA was only partly completed,\" according to the memo from the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services. \"This constitutes a risk that must be accepted and mitigated to support the Marketplace Day 1 operations.\" \n \n 11:56 a.m. ET \n \n Rep. John Barrow, D-Georgia, is highly critical of and has repeatedly voted to limit Obamacare. He's a Blue Dog Democrat. \n \n 11:43 a.m. ET \n \n Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius urged members of Congress on Wednesday to help inform their constituents about Obamacare, calling on them to raise awareness of available federal subsidies and make clear that people don't have to stay with the same company because they now have choice. \n \n 11:37 a.m. ET \n \n Bad luck for the junior Congressmen on the committee. In an attempt to end the hearing on time, Committee Chair Fred Upton just announced that members will be now limited to two minutes of questioning each. \n \n 11:31 a.m. ET \n \n A question about President Barack Obama sparked a seeming verbal exasperation from Secretary Sebelius. Rep. Greg Harper, R-Mississippi, repeatedly asked if Obama, as the chief executive, is responsible for the problems with HealthCare.gov. Sebelius demurred, insisting the website rollout was her responsibility. But on one final try, Harper stipulated, \"it is the President's ultimate responsibility, is it not.\" She searched for words, saying, \"you clearly ...\" then added a rare \"whatever.\" She concluded, \"He is the President of the United States.\" \n \n 11:26 a.m. ET \n \n Time check. A spokesman for the House Energy and Commerce Committee tells CNN that about 15 more members are waiting to ask questions of Secretary Sebelius. At five minutes each, that would take well over an hour. The spokesman says initially the Secretary had asked to leave by noon, but the committee may ask her to stay longer. \n \n 11:19 a.m. ET \n \n Who's the man with the mustache and red tie behind Sebelius? That's Mike Hash, who leads the HHS office of Health Reform. He is a key coordinator of policy between the White House and HHS and is a go-to briefer when Congress wants Obamacare answers. Off camera, Hash has passed a few notes to Sebelius during the hearing. He also has a resume line that may be a bonus today: he used to work as a staff member for this committee. \n \n \n \n \n \n 11:03 a.m. ET \n \n House Speaker John Boehner's office just sent out an e-mail questioning and making hay out of Sebelius' comment (at about 10:05 a ET) that \"the website has never crashed\". The e-mail includes a screen shot of the HealthCare.gov error message this morning. \n \n 11:00 a.m. ET \n \n Because of the flawed launch of the Obamacare website, the administration expects the figure for initial enrollment \"will be a very small number,\" Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius told a House committee hearing Wednesday. \n \n 10:55 a.m. ET \n \n Rep. Michael Burgess, R-Texas, just mentioned a CNN.com story about the HealthCare.gov website being vulnerable to hackers. Since we are CNN.com, here's a handy link. \n \n 10:47 a.m. ET \n \n About an hour and a half into the hearing, Rep. G.K. Butterfield, D-North Carolina, became the 20th committee member, out of a possible 54 members who can participate, to ask questions of Sebelius. \n \n 10:46 a.m. ET \n \n The chairman of the House Intelligence Committee accused Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius of putting private information of Americans at risk by failing to properly test security measures in the troubled Obamacare website.\"This is a completely unacceptable level of security,\" said Republican Rep. Mike Rogers of Michigan at a hearing of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, adding that if the website is not functioning, \"you know it's not secure.\" Sebelius said testing occurs regularly, but told Rogers she would get back to him on whether any end-to-end security test of the entire system has ever occurred. Rogers responded that he knows there have been no such comprehensive security tests. \n \n Sebelius dishonesty in testimony this morning exceeds anything president Nixon was accused of. The Obama team cant tell truth and survive— \n \n Newt Gingrich (@newtgingrich) October 30, 2013 \n \n 10:37 a.m. ET \n \n States running their own Obamacare health insurance exchanges instead of turning them over to the federal government are \"doing well,\" Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius told a congressional committee Wednesday.\"Everything we hear is that they see the same demand, they are eager to enroll folks, and that is going smoothly.\" \n \n \n \n 10:29 a.m. ET \n \n Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said Wednesday that no \"reliable, confirmed\" information exists on how many people have signed up for Obamacare health coverage, rejecting a request from a Republican congressman that she allow insurance companies to release their figures. Sebelius reiterated earlier statements that figures on initial enrollment will be made public in mid-November. \n \n 10:26 a.m. ET \n \n The outside contractors that built the troubled Obamacare website never recommended delaying the October 1 launch, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius told a House committee Wednesday. Her comments came in response to questions about an August report by one of the companies that cited problems. \n \n 10:21 a.m. ET \n \n Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius told a House committee Wednesday that \"we did not adequately do end-to-end testing\" of the troubled Obamacare website before its botched launch on October 1, adding that the various components \"were not locked and loaded into the system\" until mid-September. \n \n 10:10 a.m. ET \n \n Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said Wednesday that contracts with the private companies working on the Obamacare website do not have any \"built-in penalties\" allowing her department to charge them for disappointing or faulty work. However, she said the agency will not pay for work that is incomplete. \n \n 10:09 a.m. ET \n \n The exchange a few minutes ago between Rep. Joe Pitts, R-Pennsylvania and Secretary Sebelius hit on perhaps the widest number of issues with HealthCare.gov yet. In his five-minute questioning period, Pitts asked: \n \n - Had Sebelius herself tried to signup on HealthCare.gov herself? Answer: she had an initial sort of dummy account. (It was not clear from her answer if she had tried to go through the process after the website was launched.) \n \n - Who at the agency initially decided to require users to register before they could browse, a decision that may have caused some of the biggest problems in the first weeks? Answer: Marilyn Tavener, head of the Medicare & Medicaid Services. \n \n - Did Sebelius think two weeks of testing before launching the site was enough? Answer: clearly not. \n \n - When was Sebelius made aware of the problem? Answer: in August, contractor CGI Federal listed some problems and she understood they were fixing them. \n \n - Did she know that in September some insurers recommended a delay? Answer: I wasn't in that meeting and I don't think anyone estimated the degree to which we have had problems. \n \n 10:06 a.m. ET \n \n In a sharp exchange with a Republican congressman, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said Wednesday she believed she could provide legislators with a list of insurers in federal exchanges set up under Obamacare that do not offer coverage for abortion services. \n \n 9:56 a.m. ET \n \n Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said Wednesday she was confident the troubled Obamacare website would be running smoothly by November 30, adding \"I have confidence, but it isn't fair to ask the American public to take our word for it.\" \n \n 9:51 a.m. ET \n \n At 90 years old, Rep. Ralph Hall, R-Texas, questioning Sebelius now, is the oldest member of Congress and was a teenager when Social Security was created. He has adamantly opposed Obamacare. \n \n 9:45 a.m. ET \n \n A waiver of privacy rights on the Obamacare website was included in error and \"will be taken down,\" Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said Wednesday, telling GOP Rep. Joe Barton of Texas that \"we have asked them to remove that statement.\" \n \n 5 things we learned from Tuesday's hearing with Tavenner \n \n 9:44 a.m. ET \n \n HHS Secretary Sebelius just said that someone named Michelle Snyder was responsible for coordinating HealthCare.gov prior to this week (when contractor CGI Federal took over). Who is that? Snyder is the top day-to-day manager for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). Here's her bio. \n \n Snyder's boss did not directly defend her but when Rep. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tennessee, asked, \"So is Michelle Snyder responsible for this debacle?\", Sebelius responded \"no\". That's when the HHS secretary said that Congress should hold her (Sebelius) responsible. \n \n 9:35 a.m. ET \n \n Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said Wednesday before a congressional committee that Republicans should \"hold me responsible\" for the problem-plagued Obamacare website. \n \n 9:33 a.m. ET \n \n So far, the Sebelius hearing is going according to a classic Congressional script. The chairman from the opposing party opens with a question about one of the hottest issues, in this case Chairman Fred Upton, R-Michigan, asked about the fact that some Americans will not be able to keep their health care plans. Then the ranking member from the president's party, Rep. Henry Waxman, D-California, asks friendly questions to defend their position. Now, we watch to see if there will be any news, anything goes off script. Will Republican questions elicit any new information and will any Democrats become especially critical of the HealthCare.gov roll-out. \n \n Three states tell insurers to cancel plans that don't comply with Obamacare \n \n 9:32 a.m. ET \n \n Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said Wednesday that people who bought their own health coverage before Obamacare was signed into law in 2010 can keep those policies if they choose under a \"grandfather\" clause included in the legislation. Her response to a question about people getting their policies canceled now defended promises by President Barack Obama that anyone who likes their health care plan can keep it, relying on the technicality that the coverage must pre-date the law. Asked if Obama was keeping his promise, Sebelius responded: \"Yes, he is.\" \n \n \n \n 9:20 a.m. ET \n \n What did the HHS Secretary just say?

Just enter your information here, and you'll be all set. \n \n Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius spent about three hours testifying before Congress this morning. From all of that, there is one sentence that was arguably the most important things she said. It was about health insurance plans, which are still not receiving accurate data from Healthcare.gov. \n \n \"The system isn't functioning, so we're not getting that reliable data,\" Sebelius told legislators, answering a question about why the administration will not release enrollment data. \n \n Sebelius reiterated what Jeff Zients told reporters late last week: that fixing data files sent to insurance companies, known as \"834\" files, is at the top of the administration's \"punch list\" for fixing the Web site \n \n \"We have prioritized that specific fix,\" Sebelius said. \"Believe me, insurance companies [want] to get reliable data.\" \n \n There's a reason that this item is getting such high priority: Without a fix, insurance plans won't know who actually signed up for their health plans. That means they can't send out membership cards or start paying claims for doctor visits. \n \n There are significant problems with the front-end of Healthcare.gov; during Sebelius's testimony, shoppers were getting an error message when they tried to apply, noting that \"the system is down at the moment.\" That means insurance plans aren't getting a ton of enrollments right now, since it's really hard to sign up. \n \n This forces health insurance plans to check each enrollment file by hand, to see what inaccuracies turn up. Even with the trickle of enrollments coming in right now, this is a lot of work: I spoke with one insurance source last week, whose company was using some offshore contractors to do some of the work checking 834 files. \n \n \"We're having a lot of issues with duplicate files coming over,\" that source said. \"We enter in address information that we can't validate, so then we've got to call you or go to the postal service to figure out what your address is. Things along those lines are what we're seeing.\" \n \n This works when insurance enrollments are coming in at a trickle. But if the front-end issues are resolved — and insurers receive a surge of sign-ups — that could create huge problems for the companies that are supposed to begin providing coverage Jan. 1. \n \n Kliff Notes: Top health policy reads from around the Web. \n \n Sebelius apologized for the health law's rollout. \"Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius acknowledged “frustrating” problems Wednesday with the new health-care law’s Web site and pledged that they would be fixed “as soon as possible.” She offer an apology for the site’s troubled launch, while also attributing the breakdowns to private-sector contractors.\" William Branigan and Sandhya Somashekhar in the Washington Post. \n \n A September memo shows worries about Healthcare.gov's security protocols. \"An internal government memo obtained by The Associated Press shows administration officials were concerned that a lack of testing posed a \"high\" security risk for President Barack Obama's new health insurance website.

Sebelius personally apologized for those failures and told lawmakers: \"Hold me accountable for the debacle. I'm responsible.\" \n \n Sebelius took the blame for giving the impression that the website was ready for launch before Oct. 1. \"I told the president we were ready to go. Clearly, I was wrong,\" she said. \n \n But Republicans also used the opportunity to press Sebelius on President Obama's repeated claims that people who like their current health plans can keep them under the new law. Thousands of cancellation notices going out to consumers have sharply challenged that claim. \n \n \"The news seems to get worse by the day,\" Rep. Fred Upton, R-Mich., chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, said at the start of the hearing before his committee. From the outset, Upton grilled Sebelius on those notices, asking why a change was made allowing certain insurance policies to be ruled ineligible under ObamaCare. \n \n Sebelius, however, claimed: \"There was no change.\" \n \n Sebelius laid out a highly nuanced position. \n \n The secretary denied that Obama had broken his promise and claimed that for the most part, people who had coverage as of March 2010 can keep their current plans -- provided their insurance companies haven't changed them significantly. That wrinkle, however, was rarely explained by Obama before now. \n \n Though Sebelius and other officials argue that those receiving cancellation notices will be offered better-quality plans, Republicans say it still flies in the face of what the president said over the past several years. \n \n \"Some people like to drive a Ford, not a Ferrari,\" Rep. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., said. \"You're taking away their choice.\" \n \n Blackburn asked Sebelius point-blank: \"Is [Obama] keeping his promise?\" \n \n \"Yes, he is,\" Sebelius answered. \n \n Sebelius' appearance is her first before Congress since the troubled launch of the exchange websites on Oct. 1. \n \n At the start of the hearing, she apologized for the problems with the site. \n \n \"Access to HealthCare.gov has been a miserably frustrating experience for way too many Americans,\" Sebelius said, vowing to fix the problems. \n \n To the American people, she said, \"You deserve better. I apologize. I'm accountable to you for fixing these problems.\" \n \n Sebelius admitted that the testing done before the Oct. 1 launch was \"clearly not\" enough. \"We did not adequately do end-to-end testing,\" she said. \n \n Clearing up one mystery, Sebelius said Marilyn Tavenner, head of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, was the one who made a controversial decision to not allow consumers to browse for policies before logging in. Some have blamed this decision for the system overload earlier this month. \n \n In written testimony released ahead of Wednesday's hearing, Sebelius vowed to improve the website and said the consumer experience to date is \"not acceptable.\" But she defended the law itself and said extensive work and testing is being done. \n \n Sebelius was also facing mounting pressure from high-ranking Republicans to resign. Sen. Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn., top Republican on the Senate health panel, was the latest to join the call. \n \n \"Mr. President, at some point there has to be accountability. Expecting this secretary to be able to fix what she hasn't been able to fix during the last three-and-a-half years is unrealistic,\" he said on the Senate floor on Tuesday. \"It's throwing good money after bad. It's time for her to resign -- someone else to take charge.\" \n \n Sebelius is expected to testify again before the Senate Finance Committee on the rollout of ObamaCare, committee chairman Max Baucus, D-Mont., said in a statement. The hearing is scheduled for Nov. 6. |||||\n\nSummary:" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "On Wednesday, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius testified before the House Energy and Commerce Committee regarding the problematic launch of the Obamacare website, HealthCare.gov. The hearing lasted over three hours and included questions from 51 members of Congress, focusing on various issues tied to the health care law, especially concerning President Obama's assertion that individuals could keep their existing health plans if they liked them.\n\nSebelius opened the hearing with an apology for the \"miserably frustrating experience\" many Americans faced due to issues with the website, admitting that adequate testing had not been conducted prior to its launch on October 1. She took responsibility for the flawed rollout, stating she had informed the President that the site was ready, which she later acknowledged was incorrect. During her testimony, she highlighted that the chaotic launch was partly due to the decision made by CMS head Marilyn Tavenner to require users to sign up before browsing plans, which contributed to overwhelming traffic and compounded issues with site functionality.\n\nCongressional members were keen to address the cancellation notices sent to consumers, which contradicted Obama's promise. Sebelius defended the administration's actions by suggesting that individuals who had insurance as of March 2010 could keep their current plans as long as those plans hadn't changed significantly. This subtlety, however, was not widely communicated before, leading to significant dissatisfaction among consumers.\n\nThroughout the hearing, Republicans pushed for accountability, with some calling for Sebelius's resignation. They emphasized that the current issues were systemic and suggested that the Secretary had failed to ensure a smooth implementation of a major legislative initiative. Sebelius, facing sharp questioning about security risks and the lack of reliable enrollment data, emphasized the urgency of addressing these technical challenges and assured lawmakers that the administration prioritized fixing them.\n\nOverall, the testimony underscored the administration's ongoing struggles with Obamacare's rollout as lawmakers demanded accountability and clarity on the future of the health care reform program. Sebelius is scheduled to testify again before the Senate Finance Committee in early November." } ]

[ { "from": "human", "value": "Please briefly summarize this news article:\n\nHow New Balance Ran Into A Trademark Wall In China\n\nIt was the kind of verdict that makes Western business leaders want to tear out their hair.\n\nThe New England shoe company New Balance had been tied up in litigation for a year and a half in the southern Chinese city of Guangzhou, having been sued for trademark infringement—sued for using its own name.\n\nA man named Zhou Lelun had brought New Balance to court for using his trademark, Xin Bai Lun, a rough translation of New Balance. Zhou’s relatives had first applied for a trademark on New Balance’s translated Chinese name all the way back in 1994. At the time, it was common among a certain class of Chinese entrepreneurs to register foreign company names in the trademark office and then to propose negotiations, or file lawsuits, when the companies expanded to China.\n\nNever mind the fact that Zhou made few, if any, shoes under the name, or that New Balance had been selling shoes out of Boston’s northwest side since the 1960s. Experts on Chinese trademark law were pretty sure the company was headed for disappointment.\n\nSure enough, in April 2015, the hammer came down. The Guangzhou court ruled for Zhou. And that was less shocking to the bands of lawyers working for multinationals in China than the damages New Balance was ordered to pay. New Balance’s business boomed, the judge contended, because of its name, Xin Bai Lun, and that name belonged to Zhou. The judge ordered New Balance to pay half of its profits in China from the time Zhou received the trademark, in 2011, till the time of the lawsuit in late 2013.\n\nThe total came to $15.8 million.\n\nNew Balance disagreed with the ruling for a host of reasons, one of which was that the company barely used the Xin Bai Lun name except on some advertisements and websites, never on shoes. It said the name hardly constituted a trademark. The company has hired a new counsel and appealed the decision. But so far New Balance has lost the fight it picked—and as it waits for a higher court’s ruling, it’s worth asking whether it’s time for them to bow out.\n\nChina’s trademark laws, though relatively advanced, break with Western ones in several key ways. The most important one: China is a first-to-file country. “This means that whomever files a trademark first gets it,” says Dan Harris, a partner at Harris Moure in Seattle focusing on China, regardless of whether another company is already making a product with the same name in, say, America.\n\nNew Balance is hardly the only company losing trademark battles in China. Earlier this month a Beijing court ruled that a Chinese leather goods company that has been stamping “IPHONE” onto its wallets has more rights to the word than the $500 billion maker of actual iPhones. Apple aapl has been fighting a trademark case against Xintong Tiandi since 2012 over the name it coined—so far to no avail. Last year, Michael Jordan unsuccessfully sued a Chinese shoemaker who expropriated his Chinese name Qiaodan and his famous flying silhouette to create a line of popular basketball shoes. (His Airness has appealed the case to China’s Supreme Court.) And Tesla’s expansion in China was cast in doubt two years ago before it came to an agreement with the Chinese trademark owner of its name.\n\nNew Balance stands out, though, for the sheer amount of time it has spent litigating in Chinese courtrooms—almost two decades. And despite all that history, it now finds itself fresh off its biggest court loss. The case illustrates both how far a foreign brand can go in protecting its name and the downside of an aggressive strategy in China. Other brands might want to pay attention.\n\nNew Balance has never had it easy in China. Like other apparel brands, its shoes became prime targets for counterfeiters when China’s rising middle class discovered (and then demanded) Western goods in the 1990s.\n\nIn 1995, New Balance licensed a Taiwanese factory boss named Horace Chang to make sneakers for the Chinese market from inside China. Chang found success selling ‘classics,’ a less-expensive and more stylish alternative to New Balance’s high-tech running shoes. The shoes were a hit: Soon the company’s signature slanting ‘N’ logo was spotted around China’s biggest cities.\n\nIn 1999, Chang visited New Balance headquarters in Boston and told executives he was expecting sales inside China to quadruple that year to 250,000 pairs. But the New Balance execs told him to pull back: The company wanted to scale back “classic” sales, in order to preserve its identity as a performance running shoe brand.\n\nThe response didn’t sit well with Chang. The entrepreneur doubled down on making classics once he got back to China, ordering materials to make 450,000 pairs. New Balance sought an injunction against Chang, but the company was handed two legal defeats—first in a Shenzhen court, then on appeal.\n\nBy 2000 Chang had started his own brand called Henkees, a copycat of New Balance complete with an approximation of its angled N. And by then a more worrying trend had developed for New Balance: other copycat brands were getting slicker. One appeared in 2005 called New Bar Lun, an obvious imitation of New Balance, complete with store displays and logos whose designs were practically lifted from New Balance’s U.S. materials.\n\nSince then, the rise of Alibaba’s Taobao shopping site has made earlier counterfeiting efforts in China look quaint. As many as 90% of the New Balance listings on the huge bazaar are for counterfeit or dubious goods, New Balance estimates. In fact, New Balance says it doesn’t have any authorized retailers on Taobao: The few genuine listings come from people who may have bought the wrong size shoes. “You go onto Taobao, you see New Balance had 300,000 listings last time I looked,” says Ed Haddad, New Balance’s former vice president of intellectual property, now retired. “How do you fight them all?”\n\n(“We will take immediate action if any suspicious listings are found out or upon notification,” said an Alibaba spokesperson in a written statement. “We thus strongly invite rights holders to work with us to identify counterfeit listings.”)\n\nThe fakes have made New Balance’s business prospects in China as mixed as its legal record. The privately held company says that its international revenues rose around 25% in 2015 as total global sales hit $3.7 billion. Legitimate versions of its shoes appear in China. But counterfeits are racking up untold tens of millions of dollars in additional sales.\n\nEven as New Balance mulls the daily question of when and how to fight counterfeits, there’s been the long-running headache of the Zhou case.\n\nIn 2003, as the Boston footwear company’s revenues continued to grow, it began using Xin Bai Lun as its company name in advertisements. That name was slightly different than Bai Lun, the translated name Zhou’s relatives had filed for back in the ‘90s. But in 2004, Zhou went back to the trademark office to apply for New Balance’s new name. The company fought to block his registration, but it lost the case, and in July 2011, Zhou was granted rights to Xin Bai Lun. With New Balance continuing to use Xin Bai Lun in advertisements and other materials, Zhou sued New Balance for trademark infringement.\n\n(Fortune left several messages with a person in Zhou’s Guangzhou office who said she would report the interview requests to Zhou, but Zhou never responded. The magazine also sent an interview request to Zhou’s listed home address and received no response.)\n\nNew Balance knew using the same name that Zhou had trademarked could open it to trouble. Harris, the Seattle attorney, puts it this way: “If someone else registers what you think to be ‘your’ trademark, you should not use that trademark or you are setting yourself up to be sued…and you will almost certainly lose that case.”\n\nMany companies have avoided using “their” trademark if someone beats them to it in China. An intellectual property lawyer working in China, who asked not to be identified, was baffled that New Balance hadn’t simply picked a different Chinese translation for its brand name. Oracle and BMW, for instance, have chosen Chinese brand names that sound nothing like their English ones. BMW’s, Bao Ma, means “precious horse.” Oracle’s is Jia Gu Wen, a reference to one of the oldest languages in China.\n\nNew Balance could have avoided liability, attorneys say, by simply stripping Xin Bai Lun from the few ads and materials it appeared on.\n\nThe reason New Balance didn’t settle or change names traces back to the brand’s desire to fight for change in China. “In the end you have two choices,” says Dan McKinnon, the company’s head of global brand protection, who is based in Boston. “You play by what’s fair and ultimately get to the point to fight the fight. Or you try to play by the Chinese rules, which make no sense in the context of global trademark laws. Just because someone claims they own our house … sorry, this is ours.” In other words, settlement isn’t in New Balance’s DNA.\n\nCustomers shop for New Balance sports shoes at an outlet mall in Shanghai.Imaginechina via AP Images\n\nThat way of thinking works well in developed markets like the U.S., where trademark laws are old and backed by a mature court system. But it can backfire in China. “Taking a legal aggressive strategy like people do in the U.S. sometimes doesn’t work very well” says Shaun Rein, founder of China Market Research Group in Shanghai. “You have to adhere to the Chinese codes, not what the international norms are. The questions in China are: Do you want to prove you’re right? Or do you want to make money?”\n\nIn court, Zhou’s argument was perfectly straightforward: New Balance knowingly violated his trademark. After all, it had fought him earlier in the decade to prevent him from getting it in the first place. That was the argument that appeared to win the day with the Guangzhou court in April 2015.\n\n“Those are good arguments,” admits Gordon Gao, a partner at Fangda Partners in Beijing and New Balance’s new outside counsel in China. Gao is working on New Balance’s current appeal, and he says that it has become clear that New Balance’s side didn’t have all the information it needed during the previous round of litigation.\n\nGao found evidence that Zhou had accumulated trademarks for loose translations of several famous international brands—Dunhill, Hugo Boss, Enzo, and others—proving that New Balance wasn’t an isolated target.\n\nHe also found that Zhou had registered a phony company in Hong Kong, a common practice in the 1990s in China by businessmen who then used their “foreign company” to win trademarks or bank loans inside China. If Zhou told customers inside China that his products were foreign-made, he probably didn’t mention that the foreign owner was himself.\n\nWhy this didn’t persuade Guangzhou court falls on New Balance. “It was our own fault a little bit,” Gao says today. The new points made in the appeals case seem to support New Balance’s argument today that Zhou entered his trademark in bad faith. Bad faith is an exception in Chinese law targeting so-called trademark squatters. It holds if someone registers a trademark knowing the name is being used by others, as New Balance was using Xin Bai Lun in 2003, the trademark can be invalidated.\n\nHowever, several IP lawyers today in China say the bad faith exception is difficult to prove in Chinese court, and that in this case, it’s complicated by the fact that Zhou has held Bai Lun since back in the 1990s. These lawyers generally think that New Balance’s best strategy may have been to pay Zhou for his trademark and move on–something New Balance says it has never considered.\n\nThe reason New Balance fakes are ubiquitous in China is because of the brand’s growing popularity among consumers like Wen Fei. The 44-year-old recently bought one genuine pair and one fake pair of New Balance. “I know they are copycats,” she says, “but who cares, if they are similar?”\n\nCounterfeit consultants say Nike nke , Adidas, and Under Armour ua all suffer from roughly the same degree of counterfeiting in China. “Part and parcel, it is because of the increase in our market share in China,” McKinnon says of the rise of New Balance fakes.\n\nNew Balance admits that unpleasant reality, but denies another: its name was copied for the same reason. Just as it can’t close all the counterfeiters, it can’t stop all its trademark copycats.\n\nThe company’s appeal was supposed to have been decided by December 2015, but as of this May New Balance was still waiting. Still, the company recently got some potentially good news in a related ruling that concerned another foreign trademark case. In 2012, the largest vintner in Europe, Castel Group, was ordered to pay $5 million for violating a Chinese trademark of the translated Castel name, owned by a Chinese Spanish national. But on appeal earlier this year, China’s Supreme Court reduced the damages to $80,000, signaling that the previous fine was excessive. New Balance’s judgment could be similarly cut.\n\nNonetheless, a reversal of the earlier decision remains a longshot. And even if its fine is reduced, New Balance will need to change its name—and pay for a fight it didn’t need to start.\n\nSummary:" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "New Balance faced a significant legal challenge in China when it was sued by Zhou Lelun, who claimed trademark infringement for the use of \"Xin Bai Lun,\" a rough translation of New Balance. Zhou had registered this name in 2011, despite not actively using it for shoemaking. In April 2015, a Guangzhou court ruled in favor of Zhou, ordering New Balance to pay $15.8 million in damages, asserting the company's profits in China were linked to the use of Zhou's trademark. New Balance appealed the ruling, arguing they had minimally used the Xin Bai Lun name and emphasizing their longstanding brand identity since the 1960s. The case highlights the complexities of China's first-to-file trademark laws that differ from Western practices. New Balance has faced difficulties in the Chinese market, exacerbated by counterfeiting and trademark challenges, and must now reconsider its brand strategy in light of these legal issues." } ]

It can vary significantly from one area to another due to various factors, including temperature, altitude, and geographical features.\n\n2. **Pressure Differences**: When there are significant differences in air pressure between two regions—often referred to as pressure gradients—air naturally moves from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure. This movement of air is what we perceive as wind.\n\n3. **Wind Speed and Pressure Gradient**: The strength of the wind is directly proportional to the difference in air pressure; a steeper pressure gradient (a larger difference in atmospheric pressure over a given distance) leads to stronger winds. Conversely, a gentle pressure gradient results in lighter winds.\n\n4. **The Effect of Thea’s New Town**: In Thea’s new town, where there are greater differences in air pressure, the pressure gradient will be steeper. This means the air will move more vigorously from high-pressure areas to low-pressure areas, leading to an increase in wind speed and intensity.\n\nTherefore, since Thea’s new location has greater differences in air pressure, she is likely to experience more wind compared to her hometown." } ]

Movie title: Crimes of Passion Context: Bobby Grady (John Laughlin) is an ordinary middle-class electronics store owner who occasionally moonlights doing surveillance work. He attends a group therapy session because his wife, Amy (Annie Potts), has lost interest in sex and he fears their marriage is in trouble. Grady is soon approached by the owner of a fashion design house to spy on an employee, Joanna Crane (Kathleen Turner), who is suspected of selling clothing patterns to his competitors. Grady discovers the accusations are unfounded, but also finds out that Joanna is moonlighting as a prostitute using the name China Blue, and shedding her business attire for provocative clothing and a platinum wig. Grady keeps quiet about Joanna's double life. After having an erotic encounter with her in her China Blue persona, Grady begins seeing her on a regular basis, first professionally, then romantically. However, their involvement is complicated by his guilt and her intimacy issues — not to mention her clientele of regular patrons and their bizarre sexual fetishes. Among them is the \"Reverend\" Peter Shayne (Anthony Perkins), who alternately spends his time delivering soapbox sermons on the street, visiting peep shows while sniffing amyl nitrite, and patronizing prostitutes. Shayne has been seeing China Blue as a customer and declares a misguided need to \"save\" her.

Overexertion can lead to muscle fatigue and strain.\n\n2. **Herniated Disc**: Discs act as cushions between vertebrae. If a disc bulges or ruptures, it can press on nerves, leading to pain, numbness, or weakness, often radiating down the legs.\n\n3. **Degenerative Disc Disease**: With age, discs can lose hydration and elasticity, leading to reduced shock absorption and increased wear and tear on the spine, contributing to pain.\n\n4. **Sciatica**: This condition occurs when the sciatic nerve is compressed or irritated, usually due to a herniated disc or bone spur, causing pain that radiates from the lower back down through the legs.\n\n5. **Arthritis**: Conditions like osteoarthritis can affect the lower back by causing inflammation and pain in the joints, leading to stiffness and discomfort.\n\n6. **Skeletal Irregularities**: Conditions such as scoliosis or lordosis can alter the alignment of the spine, putting additional stress on the lower back and leading to pain.\n\n7. **Inactivity or Poor Posture**: Sedentary lifestyles and poor ergonomic practices during activities like sitting, standing, or lifting can contribute to muscle weakness and imbalance, resulting in pain.\n\n### Preventative Measures:\n\n1. **Strengthening Core Muscles**: Engaging in exercises that strengthen the core muscles (abdominal, back, and pelvic muscles) can provide better support for the spine. Activities like planks, bridges, and yoga can help maintain a strong core.\n\n2. **Practicing Proper Ergonomics**: Ensuring proper posture during daily activities—such as using an ergonomic chair while sitting, keeping feet flat on the floor, and lifting objects with the legs rather than the back—can help prevent strain and injury.\n\nIncorporating these preventative measures can significantly reduce the risk of developing lower-back pain and promote overall spinal health.

The problem we have is \\( 2 \\frac{1}{3} + 1 \\frac{2}{5} \\).

Multiply the whole number (2) by the denominator (3): \\( 2 \\times 3 = 6 \\).\n2. Add the numerator (1): \\( 6 + 1 = 7 \\).\n3. So, \\( 2 \\frac{1}{3} \\) becomes \\( \\frac{7}{3} \\).\n\n**For \\( 1 \\frac{2}{5} \\)**:\n1. Multiply the whole number (1) by the denominator (5): \\( 1 \\times 5 = 5 \\).\n2. Add the numerator (2): \\( 5 + 2 = 7 \\).\n3. So, \\( 1 \\frac{2}{5} \\) becomes \\( \\frac{7}{5} \\).\n\nNow we have:\n\\[ \\frac{7}{3} + \\frac{7}{5} \\]\n\n### Step 2: Find a Common Denominator\nNext, we need to find a common denominator to add the two fractions. The denominators are 3 and 5. The least common multiple (LCM) of 3 and 5 is 15.\n\n### Step 3: Convert Each Fraction\nNow, let’s convert each fraction to have the common denominator of 15.\n\n**For \\( \\frac{7}{3} \\)**:\n1. Multiply both the numerator and denominator by 5 (because \\( 3 \\times 5 = 15 \\)):\n\\[ \\frac{7 \\times 5}{3 \\times 5} = \\frac{35}{15} \\]\n\n**For \\( \\frac{7}{5} \\)**:\n1. Multiply both the numerator and denominator by 3 (because \\( 5 \\times 3 = 15 \\)):\n\\[ \\frac{7 \\times 3}{5 \\times 3} = \\frac{21}{15} \\]\n\n### Step 4: Add the Fractions\nNow we can add the two fractions:\n\\[ \\frac{35}{15} + \\frac{21}{15} = \\frac{35 + 21}{15} = \\frac{56}{15} \\]\n\n### Step 5: Convert Back to a Mixed Number\nFinally, we need to convert \\( \\frac{56}{15} \\) back to a mixed number:\n1. Divide 56 by 15. The whole number part is 3 (because \\( 15 \\times 3 = 45 \\)).\n2. Subtract 45 from 56 to get the remainder: \\( 56 - 45 = 11 \\).\n\nSo, \\( \\frac{56}{15} \\) can be written as \\( 3 \\frac{11}{15} \\).\n\n### Final Answer\nTherefore, \\( 2 \\frac{1}{3} + 1 \\frac{2}{5} = 3 \\frac{11}{15} \\).\n\nIf you have any questions or need more practice, just let me know!" } ]

Here's an overview of both concepts and how they relate to one another:\n\n### Zigzag Spaces\n\nZigzag spaces (or zigzag diagrams) arise in a context where we look at sequences of spaces and maps between them that cause a \"zigzag\" pattern, often involving multiple spaces and morphisms that are interleaved. The formal definition can vary, but in a topological sense, a zigzag space can be represented by a diagram involving spaces (vertices) and continuous maps (edges) that ``zigzag'' between the vertices in a directed manner.\n\nMore formally, a zigzag can be seen as a collection of spaces and morphisms between them satisfying certain compatibility conditions. This idea is useful in studying the properties of spaces in a homotopical or homological sense, especially when one wants to consider properties that persist along these interleaves.\n\n### Simplicial Sets\n\nSimplicial sets, on the other hand, are algebraic structures that generalize the notion of simplicial complexes. A simplicial set consists of a collection of sets indexed by non-negative integers, coupled with face and degeneracy maps that satisfy specific simplicial identities. The objects of simplicial sets can be thought of as combinatorial representations of topological spaces, where each n-simplex corresponds to a completely filled-in n-dimensional shape like a triangle or tetrahedron.\n\nThe primary areas where simplicial sets find use are in the study of homotopy types and in homotopy theory, particularly through the development of the theory of Quillen model categories, where they serve as models for homotopy types.\n\n### Relationship between Zigzag Spaces and Simplicial Sets\n\nThe relationship between zigzag spaces and simplicial sets unfolds through a few key points:\n\n1. **Homotopical Perspectives**: Both zigzag spaces and simplicial sets provide ways to study homotopy types of spaces. In categorical terms, morphisms in these structures often reflect relationships that are homotopically significant. Zigzag spaces can sometimes be represented or approximated using simplicial sets, especially in contexts involving limits and colimits of spaces.\n\n2. **Diagonal Arguments**: Zigzag constructions can be used to define certain colimit types similar to how simplicial sets are used in constructing the \"nerve\" of categories. The nerve construction builds a simplicial set from a category by considering morphisms and objects, while zigzag diagrams can serve to represent pathways through categories, leading to similar combinatorial constructions.\n\n3. **Categorical Framework**: The interplay between zigzag spaces and simplicial sets is deeply rooted in category theory, where one can interpret both structures as functors from suitable categories (e.g., topological spaces or simplicial categories). This provides a framework to translate properties across both definitions.\n\n4. **Cohomological Applications**: In cohomology theories, there are relationships where zigzag spaces might correspond to certain \"implicit\" simplicial structures, allowing for computations and characteristics (like singular cohomology) to be carried over between the two forms.\n\n5. **Generalizations**: As combinatorial topology evolves, works toward understanding how more complex categorical and topological definitions (e.g., derived categories, spectral sequences) relate to both simplicial sets and zigzag spaces are prominent. For instance, higher categorical structures may unify the concepts, allowing researchers to draw on tools from both areas.\n\nIn conclusion, while zigzag spaces and simplicial sets are not identical constructs, they bear significant similarities and connections in terms of their use in studying topological spaces, particularly from a homotopical and categorical perspective. Research into these relationships continues to reveal deeper insights into the fabric of combinatorial topology." } ]

It is clear the planet is warming, and warming rapidly. This is due to the greenhouse effect, which is caused by greenhouse gases, which trap heat inside the Earth's atmosphere because of their more complex molecular structure which allows them to vibrate and in turn trap heat and release it back towards the Earth.

Here is the code you would use to perform this operation:\n\n```python\nstrings = ['be', 'e', 'V', 'That', 'g', 'Bear', 'U', 'z', 'c', 'z', 'U', 'L', 'uneasy,', 'f']\nresult = ''.join(strings)\nprint(result)\n```\n\n5. After running this code, the output will be:\n\n```\nbeeVThatgBearUzczULuneasy,f\n```\n\nSo, the final concatenated string is: **\"beeVThatgBearUzczULuneasy,f\"**." } ]

These are, in descending order by area, the Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, Southern (Antarctic), and Arctic Oceans. The word \"sea\" is often used interchangeably with \"ocean\" in American English but, strictly speaking, a sea is a body of saline water (generally a division of the world ocean) partly or fully enclosed by land. - Binomial nomenclature (also called binominal nomenclature or binary nomenclature) is a formal system of naming species of living things by giving each a name composed of two parts, both of which use Latin grammatical forms, although they can be based on words from other languages. Such a name is called a binomial name (which may be shortened to just \"binomial\"), a binomen or a scientific name; more informally it is also called a Latin name. The first part of the name identifies the genus to which the species belongs; the second part identifies the species within the genus. For example, humans belong to the genus \"Homo\" and within this genus to the species \"Homo sapiens\". The \"formal\" introduction of this system of naming species is credited to Carl Linnaeus, effectively beginning with his work \"Species Plantarum\" in 1753. But Gaspard Bauhin, in as early as 1623, had introduced in his book \"Pinax theatri botanici\" (English, \"Illustrated exposition of plants\") many names of genera that were later adopted by Linnaeus. - The Antarctic (US English , UK English or and or ) is a polar region, specifically the region around the Earth's South Pole, opposite the Arctic region around the North Pole.

All known types of organisms are capable of some degree of response to stimuli, reproduction, growth and development and homeostasis. An organism consists of one or more cells; when it has one cell it is known as a unicellular organism; and when it has more than one it is known as a multicellular organism. Most unicellular organisms are of microscopic scale and are thus loosely described as microorganisms. Humans are multicellular organisms composed of many trillions of cells grouped into specialized tissues and organs. - Australia, officially the Commonwealth of Australia, is a country comprising the mainland of the Australian continent, the island of Tasmania and numerous smaller islands.

Your task is to summarize them.\nInput: By Dennis Thompson \n \n HealthDay Reporter \n \n (HealthDay) \n \n THURSDAY, Jan. 29, 2015 (HealthDay News) -- Too much alcohol in middle age can increase your stroke risk as much as high blood pressure or diabetes, a new study suggests. \n \n People who average more than two drinks a day have a 34 percent higher risk of stroke compared to those whose daily average amounts to less than half a drink, according to findings published Jan. 29 in the journal Stroke. \n \n Researchers also found that people who drink heavily in their 50s and 60s tend to suffer strokes earlier in life than light drinkers or non-imbibers. \n \n \"Our study showed that drinking more than two drinks per day can shorten time to stroke by about five years,\" said lead author Pavla Kadlecova, a statistician at St. Anne's University Hospital International Clinical Research Center in the Czech Republic. \n \n The enhanced stroke risk created by heavy drinking rivals the risk posed by high blood pressure or diabetes, the researchers concluded. By age 75, however, blood pressure and diabetes became better predictors of stroke. \n \n The study involved 11,644 middle-aged Swedish twins who were followed in an attempt to examine the effect of genetics and lifestyle factors on risk of stroke. \n \n Researchers analyzed results from a Swedish registry of same-sex twins who answered questionnaires between 1967 and 1970. By 2010, the registry yielded 43 years of follow-up, including hospital records and cause-of-death data. \n \n Almost 30 percent of participants had a stroke. They were categorized as light, moderate, heavy or nondrinkers based on the questionnaires, and researchers compared the risk from alcohol and health risks such as high blood pressure, diabetes and smoking. \n \n The researchers found that for heavy drinkers, alcohol produced a high risk of stroke in late middle age, starting at age 50. By comparison, light drinkers' or nondrinkers' stroke risk increased gradually with age. \n \n Among identical twins, siblings who had a stroke drank more than their siblings who hadn't had a stroke, suggesting that midlife drinking raises stroke risks regardless of genetics and early lifestyle, the researchers said. \n \n Midlife heavy drinkers -- those in their 50s and 60s -- were likely to have a stroke five years earlier in life, irrespective of genetic and lifestyle factors, the study found. \n \n The findings are consistent with national guidelines that recommend a maximum of two drinks a day for men and one for women, said Dr. Irene Katzan, a staff neurologist and director of the Center for Outcomes Research and Evaluation at the Cleveland Clinic. That translates to a daily maximum of about 8 ounces of wine for a man and 4 ounces for a woman. \n \n \"It's a nice study that corroborates what we've known about alcohol and stroke, and it corroborates the recommendations that are in the national guidelines,\" Katzan said. \n \n It's not clear exactly how alcohol affects stroke risk, but some theories center on the fact that alcohol thins your blood. This could increase your risk of hemorrhagic stroke, in which a blood vessel breaks inside the brain, Katzan said. \n \n \"The more you drink, the more risk you have of bleeding in the brain,\" she said. \n \n At the same time, it's also well-known that alcohol contributes to high blood pressure and can increase the chances of atrial fibrillation, two other health-related risk factors for stroke, she added. \n \n \"Who knows what combination of factors are at play in any particular person?\" Katzan concluded. \n \n People who imbibe should consider cutting back their intake if they are having two or more drinks a day on average, Katzan and Kadlecova said. \n \n \"It is okay to drink in moderation,\" Katzan said. \"The ideal is consuming less than two drinks per day for men, and for non-pregnant women the maximum should be no more than one drink per day.\" \n \n More information \n \n For more on stroke risk factors, visit the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. ||||| Abstract \n \n Background and Purpose—Although alcohol–stroke association is well known, the age-varying effect of alcohol drinking at midlife on subsequent stroke risk across older adulthood has not been examined. The effect of genetic/early-life factors is also unknown. We used cohort and twin analyses of data with 43 years of follow-up for stroke incidence to help address these gaps. \n \n Methods—All 11 644 members of the population-based Swedish Twin Registry born 1886 to 1925 with alcohol data aged ≤60 years were included. The interaction of midlife alcohol consumption by age at stroke was evaluated in Cox-regression and analyses of monozygotic twins were used. Covariates were baseline age, sex, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes mellitus, stress reactivity, depression, body mass index, smoking, and exercise. \n \n Results—Altogether 29% participants developed stroke. Compared with very-light drinkers (<0.5 drink/d), heavy drinkers (>2 drinks/d) had greater risk of stroke (hazard ratio, 1.34; P=0.02) and the effect for nondrinkers approached significance (hazard ratio, 1.11; P=0.08). Age increased stroke risk for nondrinkers (P=0.012) and decreased it for heavy drinkers (P=0.040). Midlife heavy drinkers were at high risk from baseline until the age of 75 years when hypertension and diabetes mellitus grew to being the more relevant risk factors. In analyses of monozygotic twin-pairs, heavy drinking shortened time to stroke by 5 years (P=0.04). ||||| You may want to keep that third beer of the night stashed in your fridge. \n \n People in their 50s and 60s who down more than two alcoholic beverages daily have a 34 percent higher risk of stroke compared to lighter drinkers — and are more apt to suffer a stroke five years earlier in life regardless of their genetics or their other health habits, asserts a study released Thursday. \n \n In fact, sipping beyond a two-drink maximum each day may boost a middle-aged person's stroke risk more than even traditional health dangers like high blood pressure and diabetes, say researchers who base their findings on tracking more than 11,000 Swedish twins for roughly half their lives. \n \n \"We are seeing more and more people who are having strokes at younger ages and we don't necessarily appreciate how much alcohol use may be contributing to that,\" said Dr. Shazam Hussain, head of the Cleveland Clinic stroke program. He is not associated with the study, which was published in the American Heart Association journal Stroke. \n \n Play Facebook \n \n Twitter \n \n Embed More than 80,000 die yearly from excessive drinking 0:19 autoplay autoplay Copy this code to your website or blog \n \n The rise in strokes among increasingly younger patients, as documented by doctors at the Cleveland Clinic, has long been linked to more modern Americans being diagnosed earlier with high blood pressure, diabetes or obesity, Hussain said. But the new, alcohol-consumption finding gives physicians another potential risk factor to monitor. \n \n Will Hussain advise his patients to always call it a night after two cocktails? Not quite yet. There's too much conflicting science, he said, on how many sips of wine a night may be beneficial versus how many glasses of wine may be harmful over the span of many years. \n \n \"We know that the more you drink, the worse off you're going to be. Whether no alcohol versus a little bit of alcohol is any different, that's tough to say,\" Hussain said. \"I'm a little hesitant to just recommend anything particularly about drinking.\" \n \n Knocking back more than two drinks per day was defined by the study's authors as \"heavy\" drinking — certainly, a subjective term for some Americans. But those findings are consistent with the American Heart Association's recommended limit of two drinks a day for men and one for women. That's equals about eight ounces of wine (two drinks) for a man and four ounces (one drink) for a woman. \n \n The scientists drew that hard line at three or more daily drinks by dissecting the lifestyle choices and health accounts of 11,644 middle-aged twins who were followed for 43 years as part of the the Swedish Twin Registry. Participants answered questionaries for several years. All were under 60 when they joined the registry. Almost 30 percent of participants suffered a stroke. \n \n At about age 75, blood pressure and diabetes seemed to re-emerge the main influences on having a stroke, researchers said. \n \n \"This study ... is extremely interesting, because they were able to follow these people for a long period of time. It was done in twins, which allows you to eliminate a lot of factors,\" said Dr. Demetrius Lopes, a neurosurgeon and director of cerebrovascular surgery at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago. \n \n \"The question is: How much is too much alcohol? ... The amount defined as 'heavy drinking' doesn't mean you're drunk every day,\" Lopes said. \n \n In fact, many Americans with a European heritage routinely have some wine with dinner every night, Lopes said. \n \n \"But it's important to be aware that it's not as benign as we thought. Its protective range is only within the two drinks for men and one for women. That range is definitely not harmful, and some studies have even shown protective effect at this level of drinking. \n \n \"This study points to the importance of the upper limit of alcohol,\" Lopes added. \"It is a misconception that if a glass of red wine is good, more is even better. That's a fine balance.\" |||||\nOutput:" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Recent research has highlighted the significant risks associated with heavy alcohol consumption, particularly in middle age, emphasizing its connection to increased stroke risk. The study, which tracked 11,644 middle-aged Swedish twins over 43 years, found that individuals who averaged more than two alcoholic drinks per day faced a 34% higher risk of stroke compared to those who consumed less than half a drink daily. Furthermore, heavy drinkers in their 50s and 60s were found to experience strokes five years earlier than those who drank lightly or abstained.\n\nThe study, detailed in the journal Stroke, revealed that the detrimental effects of heavy drinking on stroke risk are comparable to established risk factors like high blood pressure and diabetes, although these latter factors become more significant as individuals age beyond 75.

Dr. Shazam Hussain highlighted a trend of younger individuals experiencing strokes, potentially linked to their alcohol habits, while Dr. Demetrius Lopes emphasized the importance of recognizing that the protective effects of moderate drinking are confined to the stipulated limits.\n\nIn summary, the research brings to light the critical association between heavy alcohol consumption and increased stroke risk in middle age, urging individuals to reassess their drinking habits to align with recommended guidelines for health." } ]
