question:Problem: Solve -27*g - 18*g = -28*g + 61*g + 1092 for g. And the answer is...
answer:To solve the equation -27g - 18g = -28g + 61g + 1092 for g, we will follow these steps: 1. Combine like terms on both sides of the equation. 2. Isolate g on one side of the equation. 3. Solve for g. Step 1: Combine like terms on both sides of the equation. -27g - 18g = -28g + 61g -45g = 33g + 1092 Step 2: Isolate g on one side of the equation. To isolate g, we'll add 45g to both sides of the equation. -45g + 45g = 33g + 45g + 1092 0 = 78g + 1092 Step 3: Solve for g. To solve for g, we'll subtract 1092 from both sides of the equation, then divide by 78. (0 - 1092) = 78g + 1092 - 1092 -1092 = 78g Now, we'll divide both sides by 78. -1092 / 78 = 78g / 78 -14 = g So, the solution to the equation is g = -14.
question:Please answer the following question: Given the following passage "Orientalist scholars of the 18th century like Sir William Jones marked a wave of enthusiasm for Indian culture and for Sanskrit. According to Thomas Trautmann, after this period of "Indomania", a certain hostility to Sanskrit and to Indian culture in general began to assert itself in early 19th century Britain, manifested by a neglect of Sanskrit in British academia. This was the beginning of a general push in favor of the idea that India should be culturally, religiously and linguistically assimilated to Britain as far as possible. Trautmann considers two separate and logically opposite sources for the growing hostility: one was "British Indophobia", which he calls essentially a developmentalist, progressivist, liberal, and non-racial-essentialist critique of Hindu civilisation as an aid for the improvement of India along European lines; the other was scientific racism, a theory of the English "common-sense view" that Indians constituted a "separate, inferior and unimprovable race".", answer the following question. Note that the answer is present within the text. Question: What was the view of superioroty of the Indian race seen as in the 18th century? A:
answer:In the 18th century, the view of superiority of the Indian race was seen as "Indomania", which marked a wave of enthusiasm for Indian culture and for Sanskrit among Orientalist scholars like Sir William Jones.
question:Please answer the following question: The birds were looking around in August, what were they looking to do? A. breathe B. sky C. build a nest D. pick berries E. reproduce The best answer is A:
answer:In August, the birds were primarily looking to engage in activities related to their natural seasonal behaviors, and the best answer to this question would be D. pick berries. During this time of the year, migratory birds prepare for their journey southward, while other birds start the process of gathering food for the upcoming months. At this point in the season, many delicious, nutrient-rich berries have ripened and are becoming available. Birds are aware of the changing environment and abundance of food during August, and they are instinctively driven to gather and consume these berries. Berries provide a critical source of energy and nutrients for birds as they prepare themselves for the cooler months ahead or for their migration to warmer climates. Picking berries helps them maintain their physical health and store the energy necessary for the challenges ahead. Some bird species, like the American Robin, Cedar Waxwing, and Eastern Bluebird, are especially attracted to berries as an essential part of their diet. As for the other answer choices: A. While it is true that birds need to breathe to stay alive, this option is not the primary reason they are looking around in August, as breathing is a constant biological requirement, regardless of the month. B. Sky does not represent a specific activity or goal for the birds in August, making it an invalid choice. C. Building a nest is not the primary focus for birds in August, as most birds have already constructed their nests in the previous months (usually in spring) for raising their offspring. However, some birds may still carry out nesting activities if their first nesting attempt has failed, or if they are a multi-brood species. E. Reproduction is generally not the primary goal for birds during August. Bird breeding season typically occurs in spring, when food resources such as insects are more abundant for feeding their offspring. While not impossible, it is less likely for birds to reproduce during August compared to earlier months. In conclusion, the best answer is "D. pick berries" because birds are mostly engaged in gathering valuable food resources in August, such as berries to prepare for the upcoming challenges of migration or the cooler months.

(Photo: Nick Ut, AP) A California board granted parole Wednesday to Charles Manson disciple Leslie Van Houten in the 1969 cult killings of grocer Leno LaBianca and his wife, Rosemary LaBianca. Van Houten, 68, was the youngest of Manson's followers. The session with the parole board took place at the California Institution for Women in Corona. Van Houten, who was 19 at the time of the grisly murders, was serving a life sentence. Wednesday marked Van Houten's 21st appearance before the parole board. Van Houten also was granted parole last year, but the decision was overturned by Gov. Jerry Brown.

Over the course of two nights, Manson followers killed seven people. Among them was actress Sharon Tate. Van Houten took part in the LaBianca deaths on the second night. Van Houten's lawyers maintain she has been a model prisoner but prosecutors and families of the victims have vehemently opposed her release, the Los Angeles Times reported. Manson, now 82, is serving a life sentence at California's Corcoran State Prison, according to the Times.

It was the 21st time that Van Houten, 68, has appeared before a parole board, and the second time that commissioners found her suitable for release. “She’s very thankful and relieved,” said Van Houten’s attorney, Rich Pfeiffer. “She’s going home. There’s no question she’s going home. The only question is when.” Gov. Jerry Brown must now once again decide whether to release her after more than 40 years in prison. Brown rejected her parole last year, concluding that Van Houten — the youngest member of Manson’s so-called family — posed “an unreasonable danger to society if released from prison.” RELATED: Where are they now? Charles Manson's family, four decades after horrific murders Her attorneys have long argued that she was only 19 when she took part in the crimes and that she has been a model prisoner. But release has been strongly opposed by the families of the victims as well as prosecutors and many others. State officials will begin a 120-day legal review of the panel’s finding, and after the process concludes, the decision goes to Brown. The governor would have 30 days to take one of five options. He could uphold, reverse or modify the decision, according to the state Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. Brown could also send the decision to the full Board of Parole, or he could take no action, which would allow Wednesday’s decision to stand.

( Los Angeles Times) She stabbed victim 14 times Van Houten has been considered the least blameworthy member of the group and has been portrayed by supporters as a misguided teen under the influence of LSD on the night of the slayings. A former homecoming queen from Monrovia, she did not join in the Aug. 9, 1969, murders of Sharon Tate, the pregnant wife of film director Roman Polanski, and four others at the Benedict Canyon home that Tate was renting. But the following day, Van Houten was part of a group that stormed into the LaBiancas' home in Los Feliz.

She testified to stabbing Rosemary in the back at least 14 more times. The blood of the victims was used to scrawl messages on the walls, as had been done at the Benedict Canyon home. Leslie Van Houten, shown in 2002, has repeatedly been denied parole. (Peter Phun / Associated Press) A long, winding legal process Van Houten, Manson and three others were convicted and sentenced to death, but after the California Supreme Court struck down the death penalty, their sentences were commuted to life in prison. An appellate court overturned Van Houten’s conviction in 1976, and a second trial the following year ended in a hung jury. She was convicted of two counts of murder and one count of conspiracy in her third trial in 1978 and sentenced to seven years to life in prison. Starting in 1979, Van Houten has gone before the parole board regularly. In recent years, Van Houten’s attorneys characterized her as a model inmate, earning a bachelor’s in English literature and master's degree in humanities while running self-help groups for incarcerated women. At a parole board hearing in 2002, Van Houten said she was “deeply ashamed” of what she had done, adding: “I take very seriously not just the murders, but what made me make myself available to someone like Manson.” Manson, 82, and other acolytes involved in the slaying are still behind bars. Watson and Patricia Krenwinkel have each been denied parole several times. Susan Atkins, who was denied parole 13 times, died in prison in 2009. ‘Shocking nature of the crimes left an indelible mark on society’ A two-member California review board first granted parole to Van Houten in April 2016. In its first recommendation for release, the board based its decision in part on Van Houten’s age at the time of the crime, her length of incarceration, lack of violent crime as an adult and her spotless prison record: She has never been disciplined for serious misconduct while behind bars. But Brown last year disagreed, saying in his five-page decision that all of these points were outweighed by other “negative factors that demonstrate she remains unsuitable for parole.” He said the “shocking nature of the crimes left an indelible mark on society” and that the motive — to trigger a race war “by slaughtering innocent people chosen at random — is equally disturbing.” In his statement, Brown said it remained unclear how Van Houten had transformed herself from a smart, driven young woman to “a member of one of the most notorious cults in history and an eager participant in the cold-blooded and gory murder of innocent victims.” At her last parole hearing, she said: "I don't let myself off the hook. I don't find parts in any of this that makes me feel the slightest bit good about myself.” Other Manson followers have been denied parole. Patricia Krenwinkel lost her latest bid for freedom earlier this year. ‘She’s going home’ Pfeiffer, Van Houten’s attorney, said Wednesday’s decision by the parole board was an important milestone, calling it “the most difficult one to get.” The panel was aware that the governor had previously rejected her release, but still found her suitable for freedom. Pfeiffer said he was hopeful that this time around, Brown would set aside public pressure and see that his client has been rehabilitated. “If he rejects it, we’ll go back to court,” Pfeiffer vowed. “I’m not going away, and she’s going home.” Family members of the LaBiancas spoke out against her release. "No member of the Manson family deserves parole, ever," nephew Louis Smaldino said, according to the Associated Press. "She is a total narcissist and only thinks of herself and not the damage she has done." "Please see to it that this fight doesn't have to happen every year for the rest of our lives," added La Biancas' oldest grandson, Tony LaMontagne.

answer:A woman named Leslie Van Houten, who was once a follower of a bad man named Charles Manson, might get to leave prison soon. Many years ago, when she was 19 years old, she helped Manson and his friends do something very wrong and hurt two people named Leno and Rosemary LaBianca. Since then, Leslie has been in prison, and now she is 68 years old. A group of people called the parole board said she can leave prison, but the big boss of California, Governor Jerry Brown, can still say no. The big boss will have 30 days to think about it after a 120 day review. The families and friends of the people who were hurt don't want Leslie to leave prison, but her lawyers say she has been good while in prison and should be allowed to go.
