### Instruction:
Can you summarize the basic rules for an 11 v 11 soccer game?
### Response:
| Soccer is a team sport played by two teams of eleven players each on a field with a goal at each end. The primary objective of the game is to score more goals than the opposing team. Soccer is played by running with the ball and by kicking it. Contact with the ball is only permitted within the field boundaries by the shoe soles of the players. Players can use their hands to play the ball but must run with the ball if it is in their possession. Players can pass the ball to a teammate(s), shoot to score a goal or kick the ball to the goal. Players have numerous offensive and defensive options to win the ball and retain possession of the ball with a series of tackles, interceptions and strategic positioning.

I love nature. What can I do in Boppard, Germany?
### Response:
| Boppard is a beautiful town in the Upper Middle Rhine Valley between Bingen and Koblenz. It is surrounded by stunning natural landscapes. If you love nature, there are a few things you can do in Boppard:
1. Do the “Klettersteig Boppard”. The “Klettersteig Boppard” is a via ferrata climbing route that lets you explore the Rhine Valley in a challenging but unique way.
2. Climb the “Ripp”: The “Ripp” is a trail that starts in Boppard and goes up all the way to a lookout point called “Vierseenblick” (see 3).
3. Visit the “Vierseenblick”: The Vierseenblick is a lookout point from which the Rhine appears to be divided into four lakes, hence the German name “vier Seen” (“four lakes”).
4. Hike the “Rheinburgenweg” (“Rhine castles trail”) Trail: The “Rheinburgenweg” is a scenic hiking trail that runs along the Rhine River and offers breathtaking views of the Rhine Valley, including old castles on the other side of the valley. You can start the trail in Boppard and hike north or south.
These are just a few ideas, but there are many other nature-related activities and attractions in Boppard that you might enjoy. For more input, you can search for "Fünfseenblick lookout", "The Loreley Rock", "Geierlay suspension bridge", or "Bacharach". | instruct-v1 |

How do you teach your kid to drive?
### Response:
| Good question! That’s one of the biggest challenges of parenting for many parents, as driving is a crucial life skill. I would suggest the following approach: build up gradually over the years to prepare for the actual driving lessons, with phases of learning about the principles of driving, developing motor coordination and muscle memory, practicing maneuvers under supervision, and finally bringing in actual driving practice under parental guidance. It is generally helpful to find a teaching method that suits the student’s learning style and personality. If you are feeling overwhelmed with all the information and different approaches, you could consider hiring a driving instructor to teach your child, which can be a good way to get high-quality instruction in a structured learning environment. Good luck!

My girlfriend recently worried I was having an emotional affair with a coworker. What is an emotional affair?
### Response:
| An emotional affair is a form of relationship betrayal where one partner develops a close emotional connection with another person outside of the relationship, which they feel or express in a sexual or romantic way. A common subset of this is an inappropriate emotional connection with a co-worker, or other person at work who is not one’s romantic partner. Emotional affairs are very destructive and can harm and end relationships, and are by no means to be taken lightly or encouraged. As such, it is important to be honest, to recognize and respect one’s boundaries in relationships, and to seek counseling if the situation is harmful or escalating.

### Instruction:
What are decongestants used for?
### Response:
| Decongestants are medicines that are typically used to help treat nasal congestion. They do this by shrinking swollen blood vessels in the nasal passages, allowing air to flow more freely through the nose and airways. This is very useful if your nose is blocked or red as a result of a cold, allergies, or a sinus infection.
There are different kinds of decongestants available depending on the cause of your congestion. Over-the-counter medications can generally be used for general nasal congestion. Prescription medications are necessary for congestion resulting from conditions such as sinusitis or nasal polyps.

From the following passage, which taxes/acts led to the American Revolution?
1764–1766: Taxes imposed and withdrawn
Main articles: Sugar Act, Currency Act, Quartering Acts, Stamp Act 1765, and Declaratory Act
Further information: No taxation without representation and Virtual representation
Notice of the Stamp Act 1765 in a colonial newspaper
In 1764 Parliament passed the Sugar Act, decreasing the existing customs duties on sugar and molasses but providing stricter measures of enforcement and collection. That same year, Prime Minister George Grenville proposed direct taxes on the colonies to raise revenue, but he delayed action to see whether the colonies would propose some way to raise the revenue themselves.[24]
Grenville had asserted in 1762 that the whole revenue of the custom houses in America amounted to one or two thousand pounds sterling a year, and that the English exchequer was paying between seven and eight thousand pounds a year to collect.[25] Adam Smith wrote in The Wealth of Nations that Parliament "has never hitherto demanded of [the American colonies] anything which even approached to a just proportion to what was paid by their fellow subjects at home."[25] Benjamin Franklin would later testify in Parliament in 1766 to the contrary, reporting that Americans already contributed heavily to the defense of the Empire. He argued that local colonial governments had raised, outfitted, and paid 25,000 soldiers to fight France in just the French and Indian War alone—as many as Britain itself sent—and spent many millions from American treasuries doing so.[26][27]
Parliament finally passed the Stamp Act in March 1765, which imposed direct taxes on the colonies for the first time. All official documents, newspapers, almanacs, and pamphlets were required to have the stamps—even decks of playing cards. The colonists did not object that the taxes were high; they were actually low.[b][28] They objected to their lack of representation in the Parliament, which gave them no voice concerning legislation that affected them. The British were, however, reacting to an entirely different issue: at the conclusion of the recent war the Crown had to deal with approximately 1,500 politically well-connected British Army officers. The decision was made to keep them on active duty with full pay, but they—and their commands—also had to be stationed somewhere. Stationing a standing army in Great Britain during peacetime was politically unacceptable, so they determined to station them in America and have the Americans pay them through the new tax. The soldiers had no military mission however; they were not there to defend the colonies because there was no current threat to the colonies.[29]
The Sons of Liberty formed shortly after the Act in 1765, and they used public demonstrations, boycotts, and threats of violence to ensure that the British tax laws were unenforceable. In Boston, the Sons of Liberty burned the records of the vice admiralty court and looted the home of chief justice Thomas Hutchinson. Several legislatures called for united action, and nine colonies sent delegates to the Stamp Act Congress in New York City in October. Moderates led by John Dickinson drew up a Declaration of Rights and Grievances stating that taxes passed without representation violated their rights as Englishmen, and colonists emphasized their determination by boycotting imports of British merchandise.[30]
The Parliament at Westminster saw itself as the supreme lawmaking authority throughout the Empire and thus entitled to levy any tax without colonial approval or even consultation.[31] They argued that the colonies were legally British corporations subordinate to the British Parliament, and they pointed to numerous instances where Parliament had made laws in the past that were binding on the colonies.[32] Parliament insisted that the colonists effectively enjoyed a "virtual representation", as most British people did, since only a small minority of the British population elected representatives to Parliament.[33] However, Americans such as James Otis maintained that there was no one in Parliament responsible specifically for any colonial constituency, so they were not "virtually represented" by anyone in Parliament at all.[34]
The Rockingham government came to power in July 1765, and Parliament debated whether to repeal the stamp tax or to send an army to enforce it. Benjamin Franklin made the case for repeal, explaining that the colonies had spent heavily in manpower, money, and blood defending the empire in a series of wars against the French and indigenous people, and that further taxes to pay for those wars were unjust and might bring about a rebellion. Parliament agreed and repealed the tax on February 21, 1766, but they insisted in the Declaratory Act of March 1766 that they retained full power to make laws for the colonies "in all cases whatsoever".[35] The repeal nonetheless caused widespread celebrations in the colonies.
1767–1773: Townshend Acts and the Tea Act
Main articles: Townshend Acts and Tea Act
Further information: Crisis of 1772, Massachusetts Circular Letter, Boston Massacre, and Boston Tea Party
Letter III of John Dickinson's Letters from a Farmer in Pennsylvania, published in the Pennsylvania Chronicle, December 1767
In 1767, the Parliament passed the Townshend Acts which placed duties on a number of staple goods, including paper, glass, and tea, and established a Board of Customs in Boston to more rigorously execute trade regulations. The new taxes were enacted on the belief that Americans only objected to internal taxes and not to external taxes such as custom duties. However, in his widely read pamphlet, Letters from a Farmer in Pennsylvania, John Dickinson argued against the constitutionality of the acts because their purpose was to raise revenue and not to regulate trade.[36] Colonists responded to the taxes by organizing new boycotts of British goods. These boycotts were less effective, however, as the goods taxed by the Townshend Acts were widely used.
In February 1768, the Assembly of Massachusetts Bay issued a circular letter to the other colonies urging them to coordinate resistance. The governor dissolved the assembly when it refused to rescind the letter. Meanwhile, a riot broke out in Boston in June 1768 over the seizure of the sloop Liberty, owned by John Hancock, for alleged smuggling. Customs officials were forced to flee, prompting the British to deploy troops to Boston. A Boston town meeting declared that no obedience was due to parliamentary laws and called for the convening of a convention. A convention assembled but only issued a mild protest before dissolving itself. In January 1769, Parliament responded to the unrest by reactivating the Treason Act 1543 which called for subjects outside the realm to face trials for treason in England. The governor of Massachusetts was instructed to collect evidence of said treason, and the threat caused widespread outrage, though it was not carried out.
On March 5, 1770, a large crowd gathered around a group of British soldiers on a Boston street. The crowd grew threatening, throwing snowballs, rocks, and debris at them. One soldier was clubbed and fell.[37] There was no order to fire, but the soldiers panicked and fired into the crowd. They hit 11 people; three civilians died of wounds at the scene of the shooting, and two died shortly after the incident. The event quickly came to be called the Boston Massacre. The soldiers were tried and acquitted (defended by John Adams), but the widespread descriptions soon began to turn colonial sentiment against the British. This accelerated the downward spiral in the relationship between Britain and the Province of Massachusetts.[37]
A new ministry under Lord North came to power in 1770, and Parliament withdrew all taxes except the tax on tea, giving up its efforts to raise revenue while maintaining the right to tax. This temporarily resolved the crisis, and the boycott of British goods largely ceased, with only the more radical patriots such as Samuel Adams continuing to agitate.[citation needed]
On June 9, 1772, the Sons of Liberty burned HMS Gaspee, a British customs schooner in Narragansett Bay.
In June 1772, American patriots, including John Brown, burned a British warship that had been vigorously enforcing unpopular trade regulations, in what became known as the Gaspee Affair. The affair was investigated for possible treason, but no action was taken.
In 1772, it became known that the Crown intended to pay fixed salaries to the governors and judges in Massachusetts, which had been paid by local authorities. This would reduce the influence of colonial representatives over their government. Samuel Adams in Boston set about creating new Committees of Correspondence, which linked Patriots in all 13 colonies and eventually provided the framework for a rebel government. Virginia, the largest colony, set up its Committee of Correspondence in early 1773, on which Patrick Henry and Thomas Jefferson served.[38]
A total of about 7,000 to 8,000 Patriots served on Committees of Correspondence at the colonial and local levels, comprising most of the leadership in their communities. Loyalists were excluded. The committees became the leaders of the American resistance to British actions, and later largely determined the war effort at the state and local level. When the First Continental Congress decided to boycott British products, the colonial and local Committees took charge, examining merchant records and publishing the names of merchants who attempted to defy the boycott by importing British goods.[39]
In 1773, private letters were published in which Massachusetts Governor Thomas Hutchinson claimed that the colonists could not enjoy all English liberties, and in which Lieutenant Governor Andrew Oliver called for the direct payment of colonial officials. The letters' contents were used as evidence of a systematic plot against American rights, and discredited Hutchinson in the eyes of the people; the colonial Assembly petitioned for his recall. Benjamin Franklin, postmaster general for the colonies, acknowledged that he leaked the letters, which led to him being berated by British officials and removed from his position.
The December 16, 1773 Boston Tea Party, led by Samuel Adams and Sons of Liberty, has become a mainstay of American patriotic lore.
Meanwhile, Parliament passed the Tea Act lowering the price of taxed tea exported to the colonies, to help the British East India Company undersell smuggled untaxed Dutch tea. Special consignees were appointed to sell the tea to bypass colonial merchants. The act was opposed by those who resisted the taxes and also by smugglers who stood to lose business.[citation needed] In most instances, the consignees were forced by the Americans to resign and the tea was turned back, but Massachusetts governor Hutchinson refused to allow Boston merchants to give in to pressure. A town meeting in Boston determined that the tea would not be landed, and ignored a demand from the governor to disperse. On December 16, 1773, a group of men, led by Samuel Adams and dressed to evoke the appearance of indigenous people, boarded the ships of the East India Company and dumped £10,000 worth of tea from their holds (approximately £636,000 in 2008) into Boston Harbor. Decades later, this event became known as the Boston Tea Party and remains a significant part of American patriotic lore.[40]
1774–1775: Intolerable Acts
Main article: Intolerable Acts
Further information: Quebec Act and Continental Association
A 1774 etching from The London Magazine depicts Prime Minister Lord North, author of the Boston Port Act, forcing the Intolerable Acts down the throat of America, whose arms are restrained by Lord Chief Justice Mansfield, and a tattered "Boston Petition" lays trampled on the ground beside her. Lord Sandwich pins down her feet and peers up her robes; behind them, Mother Britannia weeps while France and Spain look on.
The British government responded by passing several measures that came to be known as the Intolerable Acts, further darkening colonial opinion towards England. They consisted of four laws enacted by the British parliament.[41] The first was the Massachusetts Government Act which altered the Massachusetts charter and restricted town meetings. The second act was the Administration of Justice Act which ordered that all British soldiers to be tried were to be arraigned in Britain, not in the colonies. The third Act was the Boston Port Act, which closed the port of Boston until the British had been compensated for the tea lost in the Boston Tea Party. The fourth Act was the Quartering Act of 1774, which allowed royal governors to house British troops in the homes of citizens without requiring permission of the owner.[42]
In response, Massachusetts patriots issued the Suffolk Resolves and formed an alternative shadow government known as the Provincial Congress which began training militia outside British-occupied Boston.[43] In September 1774, the First Continental Congress convened, consisting of representatives from each colony, to serve as a vehicle for deliberation and collective action. During secret debates, conservative Joseph Galloway proposed the creation of a colonial Parliament that would be able to approve or disapprove acts of the British Parliament, but his idea was tabled in a vote of 6 to 5 and was subsequently removed from the record.[citation needed] Congress called for a boycott beginning on December 1, 1774, of all British goods; it was enforced by new local committees authorized by the Congress.[44]

Can we move away from fossil fuels in the next decade ?
### Response:
| In short No, Fossil fuels will be part of our Energy portfolio for several decades. Despite the general consensus that fossil fuels are the largest contributor to climate change, it’s also challenging to find an alternative energy source that replaces this on a global scale. As emerging nations grow, their demand for affordable energy will maintain the need for fossil fuels. However, while renewable energies have been projected to replace fossil fuels as the main energy source by 2050, we will still need to invest in decarbonization technology to offset the impact of maintaining emissions from fossil fuels. | instruct-v1 |

How do you clean a hot tub?
### Response:
| To clean a hot tub, you should first wash off all the residue using a hose with a high-pressure spray. You can also use this to sanitize the tub and remove all the dirt, grime and dust on the surface. Next, spread a small amount of bleach over the surfaces within the tub. Once that’s done, rinse the tub with clean water until the tub is completely free of bleach, as even a small amount can be very irritating to your skin. Finally, add a thin layer of “hot tub caustic” to a surface within the tub, or to the filter if you’re using one. This will sterilize the tub and protect it from bacteria growth.
Please note that most hot tubs are built with a plastic surface, so extreme care should be used while cleaning them, as using harsh chemicals can damage the tub’s surfaces. To protect against this, small scratches or other damage on these surfaces should be corrected as soon as possible, and the tub should be properly cared for with a warm tub water sanitizer or other pool chemicals.

How do you get rid of dark circles under your eyes?
### Response:
| Getting sufficient sleep is the best way to reduce dark circles under your eyes. Another important factor is making sure your diet has lots of healthy nutrients like vitamin A and vitamin C, which are good for skin health. Exercising regularly can also help reduce dark circles, as can reducing sodium intake and drinking lots of water. If you’re using makeup, be sure you’re using products that are non-comedogenic and oil-free, since these can actually clog your pores and make dark circles worse. And using a gentle eye cream or facial moisturizer can also help reduce dark circles. If you’re still having trouble with dark circles despite all of these measures, you might want to talk to a dermatologist, who can advise you on different treatment options. But the simplest and most effective thing you can do is to get enough sleep, eat nutritiously, and exercise regularly. Good luck!

Why is the sky blue?
### Response:
| Earth's atmosphere scatters short-wavelength light more efficiently than that of longer wavelengths. Because its wavelengths are shorter, blue light is more strongly scattered than the longer-wavelength lights, red or green. Hence, the result is that when looking at the sky away from the direct incident sunlight, the human eye perceives the sky to be blue. | instruct-v1 |

How do you handle matting in your cat's fur?
### Response:
| There are several options you can consider for dealing with matting. First, a quick grooming can usually reduce or alleviate mats in pets’ fur. This is something most owners can do themselves at home, or they can take their pets to the vet for thorough brushing. If cats fight with one another, or if they’re outside for long periods and get caught in particular environments, they make develop knots in their fur, which you should remove regularly using a mat splitter. This is an instrument for combing a cat while relieving mats. Alternatively, a kind of mat responder made from a variety of objects including string, wood, plastic, feathers, and leather is used. It is attached to the bottom of the cat’s fur and when running is squeezed and stretched, breaking up mats as it does. There are also different types of mat-friendly shampoos made specifically for cats and these can generally be purchased from your local pet store and drugstore.

Do you think depression ran in Wittgenstein's family?
Born in Vienna into one of Europe's richest families, Ludwig Wittgenstein inherited a fortune from his father in 1913. Before World War I, he "made a very generous financial bequest to a group of poets and artists chosen by Ludwig von Ficker, the editor of Der Brenner, from artists in need. These included Trakl as well as Rainer Maria Rilke and the architect Adolf Loos." Later, in a period of severe personal depression after World War I, he gave away his remaining fortune to his brothers and sisters. Three of his four older brothers died by separate acts of suicide. Wittgenstein left academia several times: serving as an officer on the front line during World War I, where he was decorated a number of times for his courage; teaching in schools in remote Austrian villages, where he encountered controversy for using sometimes violent corporal punishment on girls and a boy (the Haidbauer incident) especially during mathematics classes; working during World War II as a hospital porter in London, notably telling patients not to take the drugs they were prescribed; and working as a hospital laboratory technician at the Royal Victoria Infirmary in Newcastle upon Tyne. He later expressed remorse for these incidents, and spent the remainder of his life lecturing and attempting to prepare a second manuscript for publication, which was published posthumously as the hugely influential Philosophical Investigations.
### Response:
| Depression is a mental health issue which can sometimes lead to suicide. It is known to run in families. Ludwig Wittgenstein personally experienced at least one period of severe depression and three of his four older brothers died by separate acts of suicide. Based on the fact that so many of Wittgenstein's immediate family members experienced depression or died by suicide, I think it is fair to say depression ran in Wittgenstein's family. | instruct-v1 |

Nail clippers are pretty ubiquitous nowadays. When were they first invented?
### Response:
| It’s actually a bit hard to pin down the first recorded appearance of a nail clipper, since as they’re just small, they don’t appear in most artwork. There are some depictions of women cutting their fingernails or toenails from antiquity, but they’re not with nail clippers. So, the first known patent for a “nail file” is probably US patent 12,338, which was issued in 1833. So the nail clipper is a relatively new invention, although nail files and other nail tools were likely used for quite some time before that.

Michael Fred Phelps II[5] (born June 30, 1985)[6] is an American former competitive swimmer. He is the most successful and most decorated Olympian of all time[7] with a total of 28 medals.[8] Phelps also holds the all-time records for Olympic gold medals (23),[9] Olympic gold medals in individual events (13), and Olympic medals in individual events (16).[10] At the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, Phelps tied the record of eight medals of any color at a single Games, held by gymnast Alexander Dityatin, by winning six gold and two bronze medals. Four years later, when he won eight gold medals at the 2008 Beijing Games, he broke fellow American swimmer Mark Spitz's 1972 record of seven first-place finishes at any single Olympic Games. At the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, Phelps won four gold and two silver medals, and at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, he won five gold medals and one silver. This made him the most successful athlete of the Games for the fourth Olympics in a row.[11][12]

Is a shotgun good for home defense?
### Response:
| Hm, there are different types of shotguns, and they vary in terms of their size, firing capabilities, and versatility. I could explain more, but let’s just say that with a shotgun, the main downsides are that it requires more effort to load and reload than a rifle or handgun, and it can be hard to aim accurately. On the upside, it can provide a lot of firepower in a limited space, and it’s less likely to accidentally hurt an innocent bystander than a rifle or handgun. That said, if you need to protect your home, then it’s usually not a great choice, since even the smallest shotgun is usually more powerful than most of the burglars you’d be protecting against. The most common and effective home defense guns are rifles, which are generally easy to use and can quickly and accurately shoot multiple targets. These days most of these guns also have laser sights, which can improve aiming accuracy, and may be useful for you if you’re not great with firearms.

Give me a comma separated list of factors that can cause Insulin oscillation.
The insulin concentration in blood increases after meals and gradually returns to basal levels during the next 1–2 hours. However, the basal insulin level is not stable. It oscillates with a regular period of 3-6 min. After a meal the amplitude of these oscillations increases but the periodicity remains constant.[1] The oscillations are believed to be important for insulin sensitivity by preventing downregulation of insulin receptors in target cells.[1] Such downregulation underlies insulin resistance, which is common in type 2 diabetes. It would therefore be advantageous to administer insulin to diabetic patients in a manner mimicking the natural oscillations.[1] The insulin oscillations are generated by pulsatile release of the hormone from the pancreas. Insulin originates from beta cells located in the islets of Langerhans. Since each islet contains up to 2000 beta cells and there are one million islets in the pancreas it is apparent that pulsatile secretion requires sophisticated synchronization both within and among the islets of Langerhans.

The second stage of sleep is also a period of deeper sleep but with more rapid and irregular waves of brain activity. This is called rapid eye movement sleep (REM), and it is during this time that most dreams occur. The third and fourth stages of sleep are periods of very light sleep, and this portion of the sleep cycle alternates between SWS and REM phases periodically throughout the night.

How do you check the air pressure in your car tires?
### Response:
| The tire pressure sensor is the black tube mounted to the outside of the wheel. Some tire pressure sensors use a solid piece of metal to sense the pressure, others use a spiral coil of thin wire wrapped around the tire sidewall. A metal part of the sensor is connected to a circuit that sends a signal to the car's control system indicating the tire pressure. The control system compares this signal with the pressure reading the car's onboard tire pressure sensor says is in the tire. The tires may not be keeping up with the vehicle's actual tire pressure when the tires are cold, since they have some “elasticity”, so it's helpful to warm up the vehicle before checking the tires.

How do you protect yourself from inflation?
### Response:
| To protect yourself from inflation, you want to put your money in a safe, interest-bearing investment like a certificate of deposit, or in a fixed-interest mutual fund. That way your investment is safe, and if inflation increases, your interest will also increase. That way you can protect yourself from inflation. You can also protect yourself from inflation by making sure you always have a budget, and don’t buy anything you can’t afford, so that your expenses donded’t get ahead of you. Likewise, if you want to buy something, like a house or a car, you want to make sure you’re only buying something you can actually afford. This way you’ll also be protected from inflation.

The genre has existed since the early years of silent cinema, when Georges Melies' A Trip to the Moon (1902) employed trick photography effects. The next major example (first in feature length in the genre) was the film Metropolis (1927). From the 1930s to the 1950s, the genre consisted mainly of low-budget B movies. After Stanley Kubrick's landmark 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968), the science fiction film genre was taken more seriously. In the late 1970s, big-budget science fiction films filled with special effects became popular with audiences after the success of Star Wars (1977) and paved the way for the blockbuster hits of subsequent decades.[1][2]
