In a separate bowl, dissolve 1 cup and 3/4 cups of warm water into a solution of 1 tablespoon and 1 1/2 teaspoons of yeast. Combine the liquids with the dry ingredients and knead until a dough is formed. Finally, let the dough rise for two hours while covered in cold water in a sealed container.\n\nFor pizza, dough typically is stretched, rolled to an appropriate thickness, and topped with sauce, cheese, and toppings before being baked at a high temperature. You can learn more about this process in the Baking School video series from the The Art of Manliness, or find pizza dough recipes online. Good luck and happy baking!",

You can accomplish this with heat, or by soaking in an aqueous solution of a chemical called “fabric softener” or “fiber softener”. \n\nSome fabrics, such as rayon and polyester are naturally hydrophobic, and will repel water.

The National Football League (NFL) was founded in 1920 as the American Professional Football Association (APFA) with ten teams from four states, all of whom existed in some form as participants of regional leagues in their respective territories. The league took on its current name in 1922. The NFL was the first professional football league to successfully establish a nationwide presence, after several decades of failed attempts.[citation needed] Only two founding members, the Decatur Staleys (now the Chicago Bears) and the Chicago Cardinals (now the Arizona Cardinals), are still in the league.[1] The Green Bay Acme Packers, founded in 1919 (joined the NFL in 1921, now the Green Bay Packers) is the oldest NFL franchise with continuous operation in the same location.\n\nLeague membership gradually stabilized throughout the 1920s and 1930s as the league adopted progressively more formal organization. The first official championship game was held in 1933. The NFL stopped signing black players in 1927 but reintegrated in 1946 following World War II. Other changes followed after the war; the office of league President evolved into the more powerful Commissioner post, mirroring a similar move in Major League Baseball. Teams became more financially viable, the last team folding in 1952 and the league absorbing teams from the briefly more successful All-America Football Conference in 1950, of which only the San Francisco 49ers and the Cleveland Browns survive to the present day. By 1958, when that season's NFL championship game became known as \"the most exiting game ever played\", the NFL was on its way to becoming one of the most popular sports leagues in the United States.\n\nThe rival American Football League was founded in 1960. It was very successful, and forced a merger with the older NFL that resulted in a greatly expanded league and the creation of the Super Bowl, which has become the most-watched annual sporting event in the United States. The league continued to expand to its current size of 32 teams. A series of labor agreements during the 1990s and increasingly large television contracts have helped keep the league one of the most profitable in the U.S., and the only major league in the U.S. since 1990 to avoid a work stoppage that resulted in the loss of regular-season games.",

Ten teams existed from 1920 to 1921 when the league grew to incorporate teams from the American Professional Football Association, of which only the Chicago Bears and Green Bay Packers still remain today. The NFL became the most successful top-level professional sports league in the United States by the late 1950's. It was the first professional football league to be successful nationwide, getting rid of the regional sports league teams and stabilizing into a strictly national league with an initial eight teams. Following the development and expansion of television, the NFL expanded to 32 teams and became the most profitable sports league in the United States. The NFL has remained popular and successful due to its more professionalized, modern approach to management, the standardized consensus of rules and regulations among its members, and its rigorous player disciplinary policy. \n\nOf particular note is that the paragraph focuses on main points, and avoids lengthy or extraneous details.

Ten teams existed from 1920 to 1921 when the league grew to incorporate teams from the American Professional Football Association, of which only the Chicago Bears and Green Bay Packers still remain today. The NFL became the most successful top-level professional sports league in the United States by the late 1950's. It was the first professional football league to be successful nationwide, getting rid of the regional sports league teams and stabilizing into a strictly national league with an initial eight teams. Following the development and expansion of television, the NFL expanded to 32 teams and became the most profitable sports league in the United States. The NFL has remained popular and successful due to its more professionalized, modern approach to management, the standardized consensus of rules and regulations among its members, and its rigorous player disciplinary policy. \n\nOf particular note is that the paragraph focuses on main points, and avoids lengthy or extraneous details. Please let me know if you would like me to add any other details or explanations from the original. I hope this was helpful, and if you have any other questions please let me know.",

"content": "Sure, here are the three main methods:\n\n1. Boil, but that’s a very high-temp process, so it might warp the jar.\n2. Radiation -- or radioactive light is one method. It’s more common for produce to be irradiated, because foods that might otherwise be fine are naturally radioactive. So fruit is sometimes soaked for a while in a solution that gives it the same gamma radiation that radioactive sunlight gives plants. Can you imagine how unpleasant that sounds? Thank goodness we have modern ways of killing bacteria, such as bleach! It’s so easy these days!\n3. Formaldehyde. This is a very old-school solution, which I don’t like to recommend, as it’s extremely dangerous. But you could do it yourself if you wanted. Put the jars in a big bucket and pour a bunch of formalin in the water. It’ll preserve food for decades, but it will also cause cancer in animals, and there’s a chance it will dissolve the glass of the jars. Unless you’re dying or a luddite, you’d be better off skipping this method entirely!",

{
"content": "Hmm, that is a very broad and interesting question! The British Empire was by far the largest and most powerful colonial empire in history, spanning over 4 million square miles across many different regions around the world. There were many different types of conquests and invasions by the British Empire throughout its history, including colonial conquests of outright military invasion, but also more subtle economic and political conquests. \n\nBy one straightforward measure, the British Empire officially conquered a total of 22 countries over the course of its existence. These include major battles and large-scale military occupations such as the conquest of India, the Caribbean, and various African colonies, but also more subtle political and economic conquests such as the occupation of Egypt and various smaller colonial islands. \n\nHowever it is more accurate to say that the British Empire had a pervasive and influential effect on a much larger number of countries and regions around the world, particularly in the colonial era. Many scholars estimate that the British Empire directly or indirectly controlled the political affairs of approximately 1/3 of the world’s population during its peak in the early 1900s. Therefore it is more accurate to say that the British Empire had significant influence over many hundreds of different countries around the world in varying degrees. \n\nAlso it is worth noting that the British Empire was conquered and dismantled by the end of the 20th century, with the last remaining colonies gaining independence in the 1970s and 1980s. Therefore during the 21st century the British Empire no longer exists, and the British currently only have official relationships with about 50 individual countries around the world. \n\nHope this helps! Let me know if you have any further questions. Have a great day!",

The British Empire was by far the largest and most powerful colonial empire in history, spanning over 4 million square miles across many different regions around the world. There were many different types of conquests and invasions by the British Empire throughout its history, including colonial conquests of outright military invasion, but also more subtle economic and political conquests. \n\nBy one straightforward measure, the British Empire officially conquered a total of 22 countries over the course of its existence. These include major battles and large-scale military occupations such as the conquest of India, the Caribbean, and various African colonies, but also more subtle political and economic conquests such as the occupation of Egypt and various smaller colonial islands. \n\nHowever it is more accurate to say that the British Empire had a pervasive and influential effect on a much larger number of countries and regions around the world, particularly in the colonial era. Many scholars estimate that the British Empire directly or indirectly controlled the political affairs of approximately 1/3 of the world’s population during its peak in the early 1900s. Therefore it is more accurate to say that the British Empire had significant influence over many hundreds of different countries around the world in varying degrees. \n\nAlso it is worth noting that the British Empire was conquered and dismantled by the end of the 20th century, with the last remaining colonies gaining independence in the 1970s and 1980s. Therefore during the 21st century the British Empire no longer exists, and the British currently only have official relationships with about 50 individual countries around the world. \n\nHope this helps! Let me know if you have any further questions. Have a great day!",

"content": "Can you break out the five main ideas of this article for me? Taking the Oath of Allegiance at a naturalization ceremony is an emotional moment for many immigrants, and for good reason: it is the culmination of an often arduous process and many years of striving. Citizenship also opens a new chapter marked by possibility, from better job prospects to full participation in civic life.\n\nYet for many immigrants who aspire to become U.S. citizens, that moment never arrives. Since the 1970s, naturalization rates in the United States have lagged behind those of other major host countries. It’s a striking disparity given that the vast majority of immigrants in the United States express interest in citizenship. And since gaining citizenship often boosts immigrants’ social mobility and integration, the fact that so many are left behind points to a troubling loss of solidarity for their host communities.\n\nWhat holds them back? Why are some immigrants more likely than others to complete the naturalization process?\n\nIPL research provides the first concrete evidence of a major barrier to citizenship for low-income immigrants. The findings help explain why citizenship-promotion efforts face significant challenges, and they provide a blueprint for solutions to ensure that all immigrants have equal access to citizenship and its benefits.\n\nA Life-Changing Program\nIn seeking to understand disparities in naturalization patterns, previous studies have focused on the immigrants themselves—individual characteristics like language skills, resources, or country of origin. Here, the researchers considered an external factor out of immigrants’ control: the high costs of the citizenship application process.\n\nFor many low-income immigrants, the price tag is daunting: $725 just to file the application, plus hundreds or even thousands more if you need English classes or consultations with immigration lawyers. Charitable organizations have stepped up to provide free language training, legal advice, and help navigating the paperwork. But the application fee has only become more burdensome, rising by 800 percent in real terms since 1985, when it was $35 (or $80.25 in today’s dollars). The federal government offers a fee waiver for the poorest immigrants—those with incomes below 150% of the poverty line—but for many others who aren’t destitute but struggle to make ends meet, that fee alone can put citizenship out of reach.\n\nTo address this potentially pivotal financial obstacle, IPL teamed up with the New York State Office for New Americans (ONA) and two funders dedicated to improving the lives of vulnerable New Yorkers, Robin Hood and New York Community Trust. Together we developed an innovative, public-private program called NaturalizeNY, which offers low-income immigrants an opportunity to win a voucher covering the naturalization application fee.\n\nVeyom Bahl, a managing director at Robin Hood, said, “Robin Hood is proud to partner with the world-class researchers at the Stanford Immigration Policy Lab. Like us, they are committed to helping immigrant families build a strong footing for a new life in the United States. This research will help foundations, community-based organizations, and policymakers alike re-think how we invest in our communities for maximum impact.”\n\nNaturalizeNY also connects registrants with application assistance from ONA’s network of nonprofit service providers. New York’s leading immigrant service organizations, including CUNY Citizenship Now!, Hispanic Federation, and Catholic Charities, were also integral in promoting and implementing the program.\n\n“This was a truly first-of-a-kind program, where a state agency, philanthropies, academics, and nonprofits created a way to provide direct financial support to help low-income immigrants apply for citizenship. The Immigration Policy Lab was excited to partner in its design and evaluation so everyone involved could understand its impact on immigrants and the New York community,” said Michael Hotard, an IPL program manager.",

| Can you break out the five main ideas of this article for me? Taking the Oath of Allegiance at a naturalization ceremony is an emotional moment for many immigrants, and for good reason: it is the culmination of an often arduous process and many years of striving. Citizenship also opens a new chapter marked by possibility, from better job prospects to full participation in civic life.
Yet for many immigrants who aspire to become U.S. citizens, that moment never arrives. Since the 1970s, naturalization rates in the United States have lagged behind those of other major host countries. It’s a striking disparity given that the vast majority of immigrants in the United States express interest in citizenship. And since gaining citizenship often boosts immigrants’ social mobility and integration, the fact that so many are left behind points to a troubling loss of solidarity for their host communities.
What holds them back? Why are some immigrants more likely than others to complete the naturalization process?
IPL research provides the first concrete evidence of a major barrier to citizenship for low-income immigrants. The findings help explain why citizenship-promotion efforts face significant challenges, and they provide a blueprint for solutions to ensure that all immigrants have equal access to citizenship and its benefits.
A Life-Changing Program
In seeking to understand disparities in naturalization patterns, previous studies have focused on the immigrants themselves—individual characteristics like language skills, resources, or country of origin. Here, the researchers considered an external factor out of immigrants’ control: the high costs of the citizenship application process.
For many low-income immigrants, the price tag is daunting: $725 just to file the application, plus hundreds or even thousands more if you need English classes or consultations with immigration lawyers. Charitable organizations have stepped up to provide free language training, legal advice, and help navigating the paperwork. But the application fee has only become more burdensome, rising by 800 percent in real terms since 1985, when it was $35 (or $80.25 in today’s dollars). The federal government offers a fee waiver for the poorest immigrants—those with incomes below 150% of the poverty line—but for many others who aren’t destitute but struggle to make ends meet, that fee alone can put citizenship out of reach.
To address this potentially pivotal financial obstacle, IPL teamed up with the New York State Office for New Americans (ONA) and two funders dedicated to improving the lives of vulnerable New Yorkers, Robin Hood and New York Community Trust. Together we developed an innovative, public-private program called NaturalizeNY, which offers low-income immigrants an opportunity to win a voucher covering the naturalization application fee.
Veyom Bahl, a managing director at Robin Hood, said, “Robin Hood is proud to partner with the world-class researchers at the Stanford Immigration Policy Lab. Like us, they are committed to helping immigrant families build a strong footing for a new life in the United States. This research will help foundations, community-based organizations, and policymakers alike re-think how we invest in our communities for maximum impact.”
NaturalizeNY also connects registrants with application assistance from ONA’s network of nonprofit service providers. New York’s leading immigrant service organizations, including CUNY Citizenship Now!, Hispanic Federation, and Catholic Charities, were also integral in promoting and implementing the program.
“This was a truly first-of-a-kind program, where a state agency, philanthropies, academics, and nonprofits created a way to provide direct financial support to help low-income immigrants apply for citizenship. The Immigration Policy Lab was excited to partner in its design and evaluation so everyone involved could understand its impact on immigrants and the New York community,” said Michael Hotard, an IPL program manager. |

Alternatively, if you have a hayfield or similar and you’re looking at a large enough patch of that, that’s another way to find some. \n\nIn both of these cases, it is important that you know that four leaf clovers are relatively rare, and that the ones you’re looking for will have all four leaves on top, with each leaf being almost perfect. If you’re just walking through a field, you can look at each patch of clover individually, and if you’re checking a hayfield, you can pick one or two bales and look at each leaf in those bales. If you find a clover that’s missing a leaf or two, or has one or more leaves that’s less than perfect, you can throw that one out, or check the other side. Then you’ll have to do that again when you go back to the one that was already picked, or to other haybales",

To improve your chances of finding one, keep an eye out for patches of clover, since that is where clovers are likely to grow, as opposed to grass. It sounds like you might be having difficulty seeing clovers, and that’s a common problem. If that’s true, I’d suggest looking at the clovers from afar, to get a sense of their shape, and use that to help you find them closer up. You can also try looking for “eye-shaped clover” instead of four leaf clovers, if that might be easier for you.",

If the question is about how technology has changed warfare, then the most fundamental innovations are the ones that have changed the kind of tasks armies are able to perform, especially logistics and fielding battle strategies. For example, the invention of gunpowder changed warfare because it dramatically increased the accuracy and damage of missiles fired from a distance.\n\nIn the last century, we’ve seen quite a few innovations in tools in warfare. The most prominent example is the advent of nuclear weaponry, which caused a massive increase in destructive power, an especially frightening leap in tactics.

The airlines do usually allow service dogs to fly in the cabin with their owners, but generally will not allow other pets to fly in the cabin unless there are extenuating circumstances. Here are some general strategies that might help you to convince the airline to allow your dog to fly in the cabin with you: \n\n-Use a reputable service dog organization certification. Airlines generally prefer this type of certification because it is an independent third-party assessment of the dog’s suitability for the program.\n-Provide documentation from your veterinarian that your dog has no health or behavior issues that would make it a disruption or danger to other passengers.\n-Explain how your dog is a vital support for you and your disability, and explain how you will need your dog’s assistance during the flight (for example, if you are disabled and rely on your dog for mobility assistance).\n-If your dog is well-behaved, you may want to provide documentation or evidence of this. You could try bringing a photo of your dog sitting quietly and calmly.\n-Be patient with the airline reservation staff. Explain calmly and rationally why you think your dog should be allowed to fly with you, and ask them to assist you in getting this approved. If they are unable to help you, ask them to transfer you to a supervisor or department that may be able to help.\n-If all else fails, consider flying on another airline or travelling at a different time of year (when there may be less demand for cabin space). You could also consider taking an alternate flight that is not as critical, so that you have more flexibility regarding your travel arrangements. \n\nI really hope this helps! Good luck!",
