text:
I’m pretty sure today is Sunday. The light of morning tried desperately to fill my room but was falling short… one of those days where God seemingly stubbed his toe on his desk and yelled, “Fuck it! You all get sleet today!” I laid in bed and tried to piece together what was going on. Somehow I had woken up about 10 years older. Try as I might, the last thing that I remember was being in my twenties raising hell and trying to get laid. I decide to roll out of bed.

Jesus Christ the terrazzo is freezing. I shuffle my way into the kitchen and look for something edible. No cereal. No eggs. No bread. In desperation, I check the freezer. One meager slice of pizza – probably as old as I was. It’ll do, I guess. I vaguely recall buying pizza at some point. Did I have a party or something? As the pizza warms up in the microwave, I start making coffee. 33 years old and I still can’t figure out this fucking thing. I think about hitting the coffee machine until it starts working.

My phone is blinking on the kitchen table. The little blue light is silently screaming at me at regular intervals. Reminds me of Jess. A fuzzy figure begins to take shape in my head. My phone just wanted to tell me that my credit card bill was due. Fuck you phone, you told me that last month.

Jess was a dark-eyed brunette but she always dyed her hair black so she wouldn't look like her mother. I met her at a gas station I think. Or maybe a bank. She was one of those girls that knew a little bit about a lot of things, but not a whole lot about one thing in particular. Maybe that’s why I loved her – she never gave a damn about any one thing too much.

I put on the same pair of jeans I’ve been wearing all weekend. There’s some unidentifiable stain on the left knee but otherwise they appear clean enough. I went to IHOP for breakfast yesterday with Andre. Maybe it’s a jam stain.

I pour back the rest of the lukewarm dirty brown water in my mug and stand at the threshold of my door deciding whether or not to get the paper. I sigh and pull the handle toward me with every ounce of enthusiasm I could muster which turned out to be not that much. Fuck it’s cold outside. Really should have grabbed my shoes. I hop down the driveway and grab the piece of shit and run back inside and swear a lot and close the door. The things I do for the Sunday funnies.

Marmaduke was Jess’s favorite. “It’s funny because he’s a very large dog and he gets into trouble!” she would say. I never got it. In today’s strip, he prevents a little girl from riding her sled down a hill. Oh Marm, you crazy fucking animal, you. On the front cover there’s an article about someone famous who was murdered or something. Lucky bastard.

The gears slowly click into motion and I start to feel like a human again. The weather was a lot nicer that day. It was a warm Tuesday in April the last time I saw her. It’s hard to believe it’s almost been a year. Jess never wanted kids which I guess worked out for the best, but Februaries seems a lot colder living here alone.

 I stare at her picture for a moment and have to resist the urge to cry or yell or do something un-macho. Instead I just burp. My phone vibrates on the table and the little blue light on it once again reminds me that it’s there and it desperately deserves my attention. Andre wants to know if I want to grab dinner at that awful Mexican restaurant over on the North side of town. “Their food always gives me the worst shits”, I text him. Jess absolutely hated the place for precisely that reason. “Of course I’ll go.”

Connor Court was founded in Ballan, Victoria, before moving to Ballarat and then, in 2016, to Queensland. Before starting Connor Court Cappello worked at Freedom Publishing imprint of the late Santamaria's National Civic Council (NCC).[2]

Connor Court publishes a diverse range of books but has a focus on conservative and religious subjects.[3] Connor Court has published many authors, contributing authors and editors from the Institute of Public Affairs such as Andrew McIntyre, Chris Berg, John Roskam, Cory Bernadi, Tim Wilson, Gary Johns, Mikayla Novak, James Grant, Alan Moran, Bob Day, Simon Breheny and Tom Switzer. John Roskam, executive director of the Institute of Public Affairs, sits on the editorial board of Connor Court. Connor Court has also published books in conjunction with the Institute of Public Affairs, such as _Australian Essays_ by Roger Scruton.[4]

In 2015 Connor Court published a biography of the former Queensland Premier Campbell Newman[7] and launched the book at Tattersall's Club, Brisbane. The book caused controversy with a number of publishers turning it down and a number of bookstores not stocking it as a protest to Newman's withdrawal of funding for the Premier's Literary Awards while in government.[8]

Everest, the mightiest showing of the pure brute power of our Earth, is 6.4*10^15 kilograms, or more than 6 quintillograms.  If my heart wanted to move that mountain just one millimeter, one of the smallest differences noticeable by the human eye, it would have to produce more than 6 teranewtons.  If I lived one-hundred more years, and it spent every single one of those 2.8 newton heartbeats loving you, the force would be more than a million times to small.  I am very sorry, but my love for you cannot move mountains.

title: Math

question: Is it greater or less than 6 quintillograms?

answer: It is greater than 6 quintillograms.

text: I don't understand the question, therefore I am unsure what the response should be.

answer: Greater than.

text: I don't understand the question, therefore I am unsure what the response should be.

text: I don't understand the question, therefore I am unsure what the response should be.

refinement: That information can't be found (because the question doesn't make sense)

answer: It is greater than 6 quintillograms, as the combined systolic and disystolic force of 2.8 newtons is more than 6 quintillograms.

text: I don't understand the question, therefore I am unsure what the response should be.

refinement: It is greater than 6 quintillograms, as the combined systolic and disystolic force of 2.8 newtons is more than 6 quintillograms.

question: What would the heart have to do to move the mountain one millimeter?

answer: It would have to produce more than 6 teranewtons of combined systolic and disystolic force.

text: "disystolic " - change spelling to "diastolic"

refinement: It would have to produce more than 6 teranewtons of combined systolic and disystolic force.

refinement: The heart would have to produce more than 6 teranewtons.

answer: The heart would have to produce more than 6 teranewtons of force in order to move the mountain one millimeter.

answer: The heart would have to produce more than 6 teranewtons.

question: Is there a more efficient way to move a mountain one millimeter than using the human heart?

answer: No, the human heart is the most efficient way to move a mountain one millimeter.

text: "No, the human heart is the most efficient way to move a mountain one millimeter." - this is inaccurate, because the narrator never offered the information.

text: No response.

answer: Unknown.

question: Is this a math problem or a biology problem?

answer: This is a math problem.

answer: It is a math problem.

answer: Neither, it is a love problem.

text: "Neither, it is a love problem." - is partly true, but it is primarily a math problem. Equations were used to try and solve a love problem.

refinement: It is equal parts a love problem and a math problem because mathematical equations were used to try and solve issues of the heart.

answer: This is a math problem.

question: Write a ~3 sentence summary.

answer: The narrator compares the power of their heart to move mountains to the power of Mt. Everest. They say that their heart would have to produce more than 6 teranewtons to move the mountain just one millimeter. They say that their love for someone cannot move mountains.

answer: The author compares the force of a human heart to that of Mt. Everest, and explains that even if the heart spent 100 years trying to move the mountain, it would not be enough to move it even a millimeter. In other words, the love of one person is not enough to move mountains.

text: Lacks one more sentence to meet the 3-sentence summary requirement.

refinement: The author compares the force of a human heart to that of Mt. Everest, and explains that even if the heart spent 100 years trying to move the mountain, it would not be enough to move it even a millimeter. One beat of the human heart, on average, produces a force of 2.8 newtons, and 6 teranewtons are needed to match the brute power of Mt. Everest (6 quintillograms). In other words, the love of one person is not enough to move mountains.

text: "that of Mt. Everest," - remove the comma

refinement: The author compares the force of a human heart to that of Mt. Everest and explains that even if the heart spent 100 years trying to move the mountain, it would not be enough to move it even a millimeter.

In other words, the love of one person is not enough to move mountains.

answer: One beat of the human heart produces 2.8 newtons of force. Mount Everest weighs more than 6 quintillograms. Even if the narrator lived a hundred years, and spent every beat of their heart loving their beloved, their love could not move mountains.

answer: The passage is about the power of love.

text: "The passage is about the power of love." - is too short and lacks details. It doesn't meet the 3-sentence summary requirement.

refinement: One beat of the human heart, on average, produces a combined systolic and diastolic force of 2.8 newtons. Mt. Everest weighs 6.4*10^15 kilograms or more than 6 quintillograms, so the human heart would need to produce more than 6 teranewtons just to move Mt. Everest one millimeter. Therefore, love cannot move mountains.

…says sustaining Osun as most peaceful State in Nigeria non-negotiable

The Governor of the State of Osun, Adegboyega Oyetola, has inaugurated Osun Security Network Agency and Amotekun Corps Board, and the Independent Complaints Board as part of the administration’s efforts to further guarantee the security of lives and property of the citizens.

The two boards were inaugurated to complement the efforts of the conventional security agencies in the quest to build a virile and healthy security architecture in the State.

Oyetola said the initiative would go a long way at maintaining and sustaining the security status of Osun as the most peaceful state in Nigeria.

The Osun Security Network Agency and Amotekun Corps Board, and the Amotekun Independent Complaints Board are products of the Osun Security Network Agency and Amotekun Corps (Establishment ) Law 2020 created to ensure fair and effective administration, implementation and operation of the security outfit.

They will collaborate with the conventional security agencies to ensure fair and absolute security of the State by complementing the conventional security agencies to stop the incidents of rape, illegal mining, possible banditry, kidnapping and other crimes which sometime crept into the state as a result of the deplorable security situation in the country.

The Governor said, “In line with our resolve, we have adopted proactive and creative measures to deliver security to our people by collaborating with the military, the Police and other security agencies when the raging security situation in the nation was having adverse effect on our security profile.

“Our ultimate solution to the situation was the collaboration with our sister States in the South West who share the same territories and destiny with us to found the Amotekun Corps to police and secure the region and deliver peace to our people.

“It is our hope that the Osun Security Network Agency and the Amotekun Corps will offer improved security of lives and property and close the gaps created by the obvious overstretching of the conventional security agencies, while the Amotekun Independent Complaints Board will act as checks and balances for the activities of the Corps personnel.”

Charging the leadership of the newly-inaugurated boards on the need to champion fairness, patriotism and honesty in the discharge of their duties, Oyetola urged them to see their emergence as a call to service, particularly at a time when security of life and property as well as the economic situation of the state is precarious and requires selflessness, patriotism and utmost dedication to lead the state to peace and prosperity.

“As distinguished professionals who have given their best to the State and the nation at both good and trying times, I have no doubt that we have called unto the deep and the best of us to keep us at this challenging time.

“We are confident that, as co-managers of Osun security, you will do your utmost to secure the lives and property of the people and sustain the status of Osun as the most peaceful state in Nigeria. The Government and the People of Osun are also looking up to you to provide a peaceful environment for the successful implementation of the Development Agenda that will, among others, attract massive investment to the State, revolutionise the economy and deliver sustainable development.

“I must at this juncture implore you to lead a trained, disciplined, loyal and committed corps that has a human face to collaborate with other security agencies within and outside the State to secure our people.

“Let me remind us all as Osun people that Amotekun is our baby and that making it work is a collective responsibility. I therefore urge you all to collaborate with the bodies that we are inaugurating today by providing useful information and offering other necessary support in our collective interest,” Oyetola urged.

The 15-member Osun Security Network and Amotekun Corps Board is chaired by General Ademola Aderibigbe (rtd.) while Justice Moshood Adeigbe (rtd.) would serve as the Chairman of the three-man Amotekun Independent Complaints Board respectively.

The newly-inaugurated Board comprises General Ademola Aderibigbe (rtd.) as the Chairman; General Bashir Adewinbi as Corps Commander; Comrade Amitolu Shittu, Field Commander; Hassan Taiwo Agbelekale, Secretary and Legal Adviser to the Board; Mrs. Abiodun Ige, Special Adviser to the Governor on Security and Dr. Seyi Atanda of the Security Trust Fund.

Others are the State Commissioner of Police or his Representative; Commander (ECC Ede) or his Representative; Director DSS or his Representative; Commandant (NSCDC) or his Representative; Orangun of Oke Ila, Oba Adedokun Abolarin; Olufi of Gbongan, Oba Adetoyese Oyeniyi; Olubosin of Ifetedo, Oba Akinola Akinrera; Philips Olufemi Olubowale, (CDA West); Elder James Oni (CDA East) and Bayo Oyekanmi (CDA Central).

Members of the Independent Amotekun Complaints Board are Justice Moshood Adeigbe (rtd.) as Chairman; Mr. Bankole Awoyemi and Mrs. Ajibola Olaide Alade.

In their separate remarks, the Chairman, Osun Security Network and Amotekun Corps Board, General Ademola Aderibigbe (rtd.) and the Chairman of the three-man Amotekun Independent Complaints Board, pledged to put in their best to justify the confidence reposed in them to serve the State.

The duo promised to raise the bar of security architecture in the state, noting that with their emergence, the State would be safer than before.

Those in attendance were the Deputy Governor, Benedict Alabi; two former Speakers of Osun House of Assembly, Professor Mojeed Alabi and Hon. Adejare Bello; Secretary to the State Government, Prince Wole Oyebamiji; Chief of Staff to the Governor, Dr. Charles Akinola; Deputy Chief of Staff, Prince Abdullahi Binuyo; Head of Service, Dr. Festus Olowogboyega Oyebade; members of the Cabinet; and traditional rulers led by Orangun of Oke-Ila, Oba Adedokun Abolarin, among others.

The SUN WORKSTATION was a modular computer system designed at Stanford University in the early 1980s. It became the seed technology for many commercial products, including the original workstations from Sun Microsystems.

History

In 1979 Xerox donated some Alto computers, developed at their Palo Alto Research Center, to Stanford's Computer Science Department, as well as other universities that were developing the early Internet. The Altos were connected using Ethernet to form several local area networks. The SUN's design was inspired by that of the Alto, but used lower-cost modular components.[1] The project name was derived from the initials of the campus' Stanford University Network.[2]

Professor Forest Baskett suggested the best-known configuration: a relatively low-cost personal workstation for computer-aided logic design work. The design created a 3M computer: a 1 million instructions per second (MIPS) processor, 1 Megabyte of memory and a 1 Megapixel raster scan bit-map graphics display. Sometimes the $10,000 estimated price was called the fourth “M” — a “Megapenny”.[3] Director of Computer Facilities Ralph Gorin suggested other configurations and initially funded the project. Graduate student Andy Bechtolsheim designed the hardware, with several other students and staff members assisting with software and other aspects of the project. Vaughan Pratt became unofficial faculty leader of the project in 1980.[4]

Three key technologies made the SUN workstation possible: very large-scale integration (VLSI) integrated circuits, Multibus and ECAD. ECAD (Electronic Computer Assisted Design, now known as Electronic design automation) allowed a single designer to quickly develop systems of greater complexity. The Stanford Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (SAIL) had pioneered personal display terminals, but the 1971 system was showing its age. Bechtolsheim used the Stanford University Drawing System (SUDS) to design the SUN boards on the SAIL system. SUDS had been originally developed for the Foonly computer.[5] The Structured Computer Aided Logic Design (SCALD) package was then used to verify the design, automate layout and produce wire-wrapped prototypes and then printed circuit boards.[6]

VLSI integrated circuits finally allowed for a high-level of hardware functionality to be included in a single chip. The graphics display controller was the first board designed, published in 1980.[7] A Motorola 68000 CPU, along with memory, a parallel port controller and a serial port controller, were included on the main CPU board designed by Bechtolsheim. The third board was an interface to the 2.94 Mbits/second experimental Ethernet (before the speed was standardized at 10 Mbits/second).[8] thumb |The three boards (plus memory extension) as later marketed by Sun Microsystems circa 1983

The Multibus computer interface made it possible to use standard enclosures, and to use circuit boards made by different vendors to create other configurations. For example, the CPU board combined with a multi-port serial controller created a terminal server (called a TIP, for Terminal Interface Processor) which connected many terminals to the Digital Equipment Corporation time-sharing systems at Stanford or anywhere on the Internet. Configuring multiple Ethernet controllers (including commercial ones, once they were available) with one CPU board created a router. William Yeager wrote the software, which was later adopted and evolved by Cisco Systems on its version of the hardware. Les Earnest licensed the CPU board for one of the first commercial low-cost laser printer controllers at a company called Imagen.[9] The processor board was combined with a prototype high performance graphics display by students of James H. Clark. That group later formed Silicon Graphics Incorporated.[10]

Eventually about ten SUN workstations were built during 1981 and 1982, after which Stanford declined to build any more. Bechtolsheim then licensed the hardware design to several vendors, but was frustrated that none of them had chosen to build a workstation.

Vinod Khosla, also from Stanford, convinced Bechtolsheim along with Scott McNealy to found Sun Microsystems in order to build the Sun-1 workstation, which included some improvements to the earlier design.[11]

Other faculty members who did research using SUN workstations included David Cheriton, Brian Reid, and John Hennessy.[12]

Answer the following question based on the above passage:

Summarize an interest fact found in this text.

answer: At the time of its release, the SUN workstation featured all three key technologies of the time, VLSI integrations, Multibus, and ECAD. VLSI integrations allowed for one chip to have a hundred different functions, Multibus made it possible to use circuit boards made by different vendors. ECAD module allowed a single designer to more easily develop systems of a greater complexity. This design was completely unheard of and unmatched upon the SUN's release.

Curiosity is what drives us, most of us anyway. The way he saw things were different. To him, curiosity was death. To be curious, was to die. He would never leave that old house that was falling apart, the haven that he felt was home. Never experiencing anything because of the fear that he held within with so much pride. Blinded by his own lies and his rejection from himself and life. What was life? To him life was four filthy walls that were impenetrable with a door wide open. In his mind, death stalked the walk ways and hallways. Lurking in the dark, waiting to pounce on him as soon as he dare muster up the courage to face reality. Sitting alone in his room for so long, with no one to keep company. Nothing to look forward to. Nothing to aspire to become. He tries to alleviate the sickness with hymns of the past. The chant of life and the death stillness of his own. Staring at the ceiling, he decides. He dares to be curious. Curious of what?
