The two most important construction materials were mud brick and stone. Mud brick was made by mixing clay with water to make a dough, then shaping it with tools into bricks. If we call mud brick blocks "A", and stone blocks "B", the blocks are arranged in alternating A and B, with a much smaller number of Bs.

Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: Compare and contrast dogs and cats ### Response:

Dogs and cats are two of the most popular pets. Both are loved for their personality, their playfulness, and their unconditional affection for their owners. Dogs and cats are often described as being "good" pets, or they may be described as having a "bad" personality, depending on the individual animal, but both are seen as responsible, loving companions to their owners. The differences between dogs and cats are actually pretty significant. Dogs are commonly used in assistance, therapy, and detection programs, and they also serve as beloved family pets. Cats, on the other hand, are often regarded as more independent, aloof, and even mischievous. They are also commonly used as breeding animals for both the pet and exotic animal market. They also offer a very different experience for their owners. Dogs tend to be more interactive and playful, while cats can seem aloof and independent, or even mischievous. They also offer a different kind of experience for the people who care for them. If you have a dog, they will often be your best friend, your partner, and they can offer you unconditional love and support. If you have a cat, they may bond with you, but they can

Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: Please tell me about See's Candies. Why is it so well known and pricey compared to other candies? ### Response:

Well, I’ve heard it’s very delicious, but I can tell you what I know about it. See’s is made by See’s Candy Co., which is based in California. In fact, it’s the oldest existing candy company in America. It was founded in 1913, and since then it’s moved its production facility around a bit. It still uses the original recipes today, though it’s much larger now. It’s a very famous brand that sells its products in different countries around the world. Some of the reasons I’ve heard that it’s so well known are that it’s a high-quality candy, it’s very well made, and the packaging is unique and interesting. It’s in many supermarkets and it’s available in many different kinds of flavors, as well.

Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: Does using solar panels on your home really save money? ### Response:

It’s true that using solar panels can have a significant impact on your electric bill, and over the long term you may even save money by investing in solar panel technology. First, you have to compare the price of purchasing and installing solar panels, as compared to their ongoing costs. If you do this over the course of an average 30-year home ownership, you’ll see that purchasing and installing a home solar panel system can cost in the range of $15,000 to $60,000 today. That investment can be paid for over time through the power savings you’ll see after the initial installation, however, so in the long run you may actually save money. Over time, using solar panels can also reduce many other electric costs for homeowners (such as for heating and cooling) due to energy efficiency improvements and reduced power demands. As an example, installing solar panels can result in savings of up to $400 a year, resulting over the course of a 30-year mortgage in potential savings of up to $14,400. Whichever option makes more sense for you, it’s well worth investing some time researching the pros and cons, and discussing those findings with an electrician you trust.

Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: From the passage provided, how is the instrument called the "rubab" made? Rubab, Robab or Rabab (Pashto / Persian: رُباب, Kashmiri : رَبابہٕ, Sindhi: روباب (Nastaleeq), रबाब (Devanagari), Azerbaijani / Turkish: Rübab, Tajik / Uzbek рубоб) is a lute-like musical instrument. The rubab, one of the national musical instruments of Afghanistan, is also commonly played in Pakistan and India by Pashtuns, Balochis, Sindhis, Kashmiris and Punjabis. The rubab has three variants, the Kabuli rebab of Afghanistan, the Seni rebab of northern India and the Pamiri rubab of Tajikistan. The instrument and its variants spread throughout West, Central, South and Southeast Asia. The Kabuli rebab from Afghanistan derives its name from the Arabic rebab and is played with a bow while in Central Asia and the Indian subcontinent, the instrument is plucked and is distinctly different in construction. In general, the body is carved out of a single piece of wood, with a head covering a hollow bowl which provides the sound-chamber. The bridge sits on the skin and is held in position by the tension of the strings. It has three melody strings tuned in fourths, two or three drone strings and up to 15 sympathetic strings. The instrument is traditionally made from the trunk of a mulberry tree, the head from an animal skin such as goat, and the strings from the intestines of young goats (gut) or nylon. ### Response:

Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: How do installment loans work? ### Response:

Installment loans are when you make small payments over time, usually monthly, to pay off a larger sum of money. It’s a way for people to borrow money that they might otherwise have a hard time getting due to their credit score, by spreading out the payments over a much longer time than a loan that requires a lump sum payment. I think most lenders prefer installment loans for this reason. The size of the loan and the payment schedule is set by the lender. How much you borrow in the first place will determine how big of a payment you need to make each month. The common type of installment loan that lenders usually offer is called a “revolving line of credit.” You can draw money from this loan as you need it, like when you need to pay a bill, and you’re charged interest on the amount you borrow each month. This interest typically starts accruing when you take out the loan and goes on until you repay the loan or close the account. A revolving line of credit is kind of like a credit card that you don’t have to pay back each month, except that you get charged interest on the balance instead of getting a certain amount of credit that you use up

Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: Is 32 years-old too old to build muscle without the help of TRT? ### Response:

Most of the research on TRT in aging males found it to be of limited benefit, possibly due to lower metabolic levels. It is possible that the same applies to building muscle, in the sense that individuals may need to continue to consume it to continue to see muscle growth. A young adult, in good health, may be able to exercise and eat a lot of protein and they might grow a lot of muscle, but that muscle will also decrease in size over time. This process can slow down with good nutrition, more exercise, and often with the help of supplementation. In older adults, this process might be slowed down even more, and a good mix of nutrients may be essential to maximize muscle growth. Because of this, older adults who plan to exercise may want to consider getting help with supplementation. You may also consider hiring a personal trainer, though it’s a good idea to still take your supplements as they’re something that may be difficult to do on your own.

Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: Why does it seem like the USA is one of the only countries where soccer isnt popular? ### Response:

That is true. American culture tends to value individual sports that are played in small groups, such as basketball or American football. Additionally, there has been some negative attitudes towards soccer that are related to concerns over soccer’s perceived threat to American national identity. The negative attitudes are often reinforced by social stereotypes of soccer fans as uneducated and unsophisticated, similar to stereotypes of “white trash”. However, I also believe that soccer is currently gaining more attention in the USA as more soccer-related technology becomes readily available in the home. This includes home video game consoles such as the Nintendo Wii, and connected TVs and gaming systems such as Apple TV or Amazon’s FireTV.

Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: How many way are there to celebrate achievement in the following post? So, how can you acknowledge and applaud success? Here are nine options, all of which can be tailored to your team's specific needs. 1. Just say it. A straightforward, face-to-face "well done" is a simple but effective way to celebrate achievement. A personal email can be sufficient, too, and a handwritten card or note can add a valuable personal touch. Gathering the team together to acknowledge success can be a powerful statement, and a round of applause can be uplifting and team-building – but take care not to embarrass anyone. 2. Share success stories. A group message is another option. Tailor it to the specific person and their achievement, but don't overuse this method or it could come across as formulaic. You can use email, the company newsletter, social media, or a messaging platform to share and celebrate success stories. You could even set up a dedicated channel to highlight and congratulate people for jobs well done. This has the added benefit of raising your team member's profile . 3. Pay it forward. When you're celebrating an achievement of your own, show your gratitude by acknowledging the people who helped to make it happen. Always look out for opportunities to help other people to succeed, so that they have a reason to celebrate, too. And when team members share good news, always try to respond positively . Positive reinforcements further enhance team morale. 4. Give a gift. A celebratory gift could be a one-off cash bonus, or a non-cash equivalent, such as a retail or experience voucher. Cash is often the most popular reward, but think very carefully about how other employees might perceive it. Bear in mind that some team members may already be incentivized with cash bonuses. Try to avoid setting a precedent: you don't want recognition to become just an impersonal cash transaction. Gifts such as food or flowers are a relatively inexpensive yet powerful way of recognizing achievement. Make sure that you consider any dietary or allergy issues. There may also be cultural sensitivities around giving gifts that you should be aware of. 5. Get together socially. Celebrating by buying team members a meal or drink can be an effective way to reward them and to boost team spirit. However, beware excluding anyone who, for example, is away on vacation, has special dietary requirements, or has caregiving responsibilities . If you hold your event during the working day, be mindful of colleagues' deadlines and be clear about whether you expect them to return to work afterward. 6. Organize a team day out. A trip to the movies, a meal at a restaurant, attending a sporting event, or even a day of outdoor activities are all common ways of celebrating. But there are potential risks to keep in mind, too. Everyone will likely have a different idea of "fun," so try to find an activity that will be popular across the board. You won't want anyone to be unhappy or refuse to take part. This is a particular risk with physical or outdoor activities that might be difficult for some people, for health, accessibility or confidence reasons. Once you've agreed on a suitable event, further questions to answer might be: What's included in the day at the company's expense? Is there anyone who'd find it hard to afford the other parts of the day? Can people bring family members? If so, will those family members have to pay their own way? Where does that leave colleagues who are single or without children? 7. Offer extra holiday. Time off can be a great reward, especially when your team has worked extra hours to complete a project. But would working late occasionally for no particular reason also count as an achievement? Be careful about creating false expectations for the future. 8. Set up a hall of fame. An "employee of the week" noticeboard or notification can be popular and effective, but it can lose impact over time. You risk accusations of tokenism if you feel obliged to choose someone rather than no one, whether they deserve it or not. And if you keep recognizing a "star" team member, or constantly overlook another, you might start to alienate people. 9. Have an awards ceremony. A glitzy evening of music, trophies and speeches is an exciting way to combine socializing, team building and networking with formal recognition and celebration. If you have the budget, you can hire a venue and a professional events team. However, if you want to limit the expense and increase participation, get your team involved in managing and running the event, including making the food and costumes. This will be fun and rewarding in itself! This list is by no means exhaustive. Use your imagination and judgment to create your own celebrations – and see what happens to productivity and job satisfaction when your people feel celebrated and recognized for their work. ### Response:

These are all very good ideas and there are many different ways to celebrate success and motivation within a work environment. One way to connect this back into your original question, is that effective ways to motivate and celebrate the success of your team members can be an important part of building a productive and successful workplace culture. This will help foster a positive and productive working environment that encourages innovation and creativity.

The Broad Brook Canal is a water-supply canal feeding the Springfield Reservoir (a.k.a. the Ludlow Reservoir) in Ludlow, Massachusetts, a public water supply for the city of Springfield, Massachusetts. Its northern segment is also known as the Jabish Canal. The canal was first constructed circa 1875. It was 11,960 feet (3,650 m) in length, and fed the Springfield Reservoir at its eastern side with water collected in the Belchertown Reservoir and swamp. This water, however, was thought to be of poor quality, and thus in 1890–1891 the canal was extended north through the Belchertown Reservoir to Jabish Brook, east of Broad Brook. After this addition, the canal's total length was about 8 miles (13 km), of which 1,400 feet (430 m) ran through a cast-iron pipe (54 inches in diameter) across the Cherry Valley dam. The entire canal was worked to be 22 feet (6.7 m) wide at the surface, 8 feet (2.4 m) wide at the bottom, with a depth of 4.66 feet (1.42 m). ### Response:

The Broad Brook Canal is a water supply canal feeding the Springfield Reservoir also known as Ludlow Reservoir. It is the main water supply for the city of Springfield, Massachusetts. The Broad Brook canal was constructed in 1875 and is 11,960 feet in length.

That’s a subjective and highly debatable subject, and no simple answer can capture the complex and varied achievements of so many different presidential leaders. It’s also difficult to create an objective comparison of different presidents across different historical and social contexts. Many would cite Abraham Lincoln or Franklin D. Roosevelt, or Thomas Jefferson or George Washington as pivotal positive forces for shaping the United States. Others might nominate John F. Kennedy or Ronald Reagan as role models for leadership and vision. It can be helpful to consider presidents in terms of the challenges and opportunities of the historical context in which they served, and their impact on the course and future of American society. Like many democratic leaders around the world, U.S. presidents serve in office at an extremely challenging time, with great opportunities as well as great challenges. The presidency is not only an office of great power and responsibility, but a role of service to the American people and their ongoing and ever-changing needs and aspirations. Presidents face significant moral and ethical complexities of leadership, in a system of governance that emphasizes the separation of powers, checks and balances, and freedom of thought and speech. The challenges of leadership faced by presidents are also varied and often very difficult: from

Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: Should I go to the automatic car wash or get my car hand washed? ### Response:

Hmm, that’s a tough question! There are certainly some strong pros and cons for each option, so let me lay out the main considerations: -Automatic car washes are typically rather quick and painless, and they are also generally quite safe and reliable. However, they are often significantly more expensive than hand washing, and the results are not usually as good. -Hand washing is a more time consuming process, and also requires effort and physical labor, but the results are often much better, and hand washing is also usually a lot cheaper. However, it can be risky and potentially dangerous to wash your own car, since many chemicals and cleaning products are highly caustic and hazardous. Overall, I think the best approach depends heavily on your personal preferences and specific situation. If you value speed and convenience, and are not too concerned about the quality of the cleaning, then an automatic car wash would probably be the best option. On the other hand, if you prefer a more low-tech and personal approach, and are willing to invest more time and effort, then hand washing would probably be a better choice. Overall, I would say that hand washing is probably a bit superior in terms of quality and price,

Yes! The idea of investing in stocks with dividends is that it allows you to earn money off of the investments of others. You can look at it as a passive income strategy if you want, but it’s not always as passive as some might think. To learn more, I would recommend reading this article by Brian Robbins, one of the biggest names in real estate investing. Robbins calls it the ABC of investing, but the idea of buying stocks that pay dividends isn’t a new idea. What Robbins means by ABC is “Always Be Compounding,” which means to continue growing your investments by reinvesting dividends in a consistent way over time.

Well, whenever there is sunshine, I feel a lot more optimistic, have more clarity of mind, feel more peaceful and full of energy. Why is that happening? If you look at people's mood in winter, they're always more gloomy, introvert and don't socialise as much as in summer. In summer, however, people go out, enjoy the nature, get more fresh air and natural light, interact more with other people, eat more fruits and veggies and, since they are in season, they are tastier. All these are no brainers for boosting our wellbeing and therefore our positivity overall. No wonder that sun is considered the source of life not only in contemporary science but also in many ancient cultures. I wish we had more sunny days and time to enjoy them!

Below is an instruction that describes a task.

Puerto Rico (Spanish for 'rich port';[c] abbreviated PR; Taino: Boriken, Borinquen),[10] officially the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico[b] (Spanish: Estado Libre Asociado de Puerto Rico, lit. 'Free Associated State of Puerto Rico'), is a Caribbean island and unincorporated territory of the United States with official Commonwealth status. It is located in the northeast Caribbean Sea, approximately 1,000 miles (1,600 km) southeast of Miami, Florida, between the Dominican Republic and the U.S. Virgin Islands, and includes the eponymous main island and several smaller islands, such as Mona, Culebra, and Vieques. It has roughly 3.2 million residents, and its capital and most populous city is San Juan.[10] Spanish and English are the official languages of the executive branch of government,[12] though Spanish predominates.[13] Puerto Rico was settled by a succession of indigenous peoples beginning 2,000 to 4,000 years ago;[14] these included the Ortoiroid, Saladoid, and Taíno. It was then colonized by Spain following the arrival of Christopher Columbus in 1493.[10] Puerto Rico was contested by other European powers, but remained a Spanish possession for the next four centuries. An influx of African slaves and settlers primarily from the Canary Islands and Andalusia vastly changed the cultural and demographic landscape of the island. Within the Spanish Empire, Puerto Rico played a secondary but strategic role compared to wealthier colonies like Peru and New Spain.[15][16] By the late 19th century, a distinct Puerto Rican identity began to emerge, centered around a fusion of indigenous, African, and European elements.[17][18] In 1898, following the Spanish–American War, Puerto Rico was acquired by the United States.[10][19] Puerto Ricans have been U.S. citizens since 1917, and can move freely between the island and the mainland.[20] However, as residents of an unincorporated territory, American citizens of Puerto Rico are disenfranchised at the national level, do not vote for the president or vice president,[21] and generally do not pay federal income tax.[22][23][Note 1] In common with four other territories, Puerto Rico sends a nonvoting representative to the U.S. Congress, called a Resident Commissioner, and participates in presidential primaries; as it is not a state, Puerto Rico does not have a vote in Congress, which governs it under the Puerto Rico Federal Relations Act of 1950. Congress approved a local constitution in 1952, allowing U.S. citizens residing on the island to elect a governor. Puerto Rico's current and future political status has consistently been a matter of significant debate.[24][25] ### Response:

No, Puerto Rico is not a US state. Rather, it is a US territory. Puerto Rican citizens have automatic US citizenship. Due to this, residents of Puerto Rico and the United States can travel freely between the two, without passports. Puerto Rican residents do not pay federal income tax nor do they vote for the US president.

Well, first you should have some basics under your belt. A few tips: You should always start writing from the left hand side, as this gives your hand time to relax.

Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: How do I train my dog to not pee in the house? ### Response:

Puppies do best on a regular schedule. The schedule teaches them that there are times to eat, times to play and times to do their business. Typically, a puppy can control their bladder one hour for every month of age. So if your puppy is 2 months old, they can hold it for about two hours. Don't go longer than this between bathroom breaks or they’re likely to have an accident. Take your puppy outside frequently—at least every two hours—and immediately after they wake up, during and after playing, and after eating or drinking. Pick a bathroom spot outside, and always take your puppy (on a leash) to that spot. While your puppy is relieving themselves, use a specific word or phrase that you can eventually use before they go to remind them what to do. Take them out for a longer walk or some playtime only after they have eliminated. Reward your puppy every time they eliminate outdoors. Praise or give treats—but remember to do so immediately after they’ve finished, not after they come back inside. This step is vital, because rewarding your dog for going outdoors is the only way to teach what's expected of them. Before rewarding, be sure they’re finished. Puppies are easily distracted and if you praise too soon, they may forget to finish until they’re back in the house. Put your puppy on a regular feeding schedule. What goes into a puppy on a schedule comes out of a puppy on a schedule. Depending on their age, puppies may need to be fed two or three times a day. Feeding your puppy at the same times each day will make it more likely that they'll eliminate at consistent times as well, making house training easier for both of you. Pick up your puppy's water dish about two and a half hours before bedtime to reduce the likelihood that they'll need to relieve themselves during the night. Most puppies can sleep for approximately seven hours without needing a bathroom break. If your puppy does wake you up in the night, don't make a big deal of it; otherwise, they will think it is time to play and won't want to go back to sleep. Turn on as few lights as possible, don't talk to or play with your puppy, take them out to the spot where they relieve themselves and then return them to bed.
