You can also let your local game store know, they may be able to put in a good word for you.

Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: How do I learn to balance on a bicycle? ### Response:

This is not as easy as it seems! But if you follow this checklist, you’ll be able to ride in no time! - The most important thing to keep in mind is that balance is largely a mental thing. You can’t just keep a handlebar steady, you need to stay balanced by “thinking about it”. - Remember, your goal isn’t to simply move forward, it’s to move forward while staying balanced. This means making your muscles work at the correct moment to maintain balance. - It is crucial to keep your head up, so make sure to focus on looking forward! - Keep an eye on the horizon. You will be able to balance better if you don’t try to look all around and your eyes stay mostly on the horizon. - To make it even easier, try to take your eyes off the horizon! By using what we call “inner vision” it is possible to keep your eyes down without ever losing your balance. - Try riding for a few minutes without thinking about balance. You’ll be able to ride a lot more smoothly if you’re no longer distracted by the effort of staying balanced. - You

Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: Why are some reasons why sugar is considered "unhealthy" for humans? Is it an issue of quantity or food production..? ### Response:

The concerns are about how much refined sugar and added sugar you eat, as well as your overall diet. Food scientists agree that refined sugar is one of the most "unhealthy" things you can eat, because it's more easily digestible and turns into "simple" sugars in your bloodstream, which can raise your blood sugar and affect your insulin level. You also absorb and store the calories from sugar in fat more efficiently, so you tend to put on weight, and high levels of sugar are bad for the teeth and gums, for example. Food scientists say that less-refined sugar, such as raw sugar, honey, and natural fruit juice are much better for you, because they don't have the negative effects of refined sugar. When you eat more of these foods, your body turns the sugar into starch, which it stores in the liver, and is then released as needed to fuel you. This "slow burn" of

So prepare the toy for the puppy base on the above consideration.

Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: Can anyone run for President? ### Response:

Oh boy, that’s an interesting question. Technically the U.S. Constitution states that anyone can run for President, but whether the presidential candidate is viable is another matter, as it depends on many complicated factors. Also it’s rare for anyone to declare candidacy on the day the election begins. But you’re a little bit ahead of the game, since you’re asking a few months in advance. There’s a lot of talk right now about what a candidate for the Republican Party might look like.

Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: I have a four year old that I'm trying to teach to swim. I'm taking him into a pool and I'm wondering what you would suggest. ### Response:

Taking your child to a pool at a local pool facility might be a good way to learn. Sometimes swimming instructors offer classes to help people learn how to swim, and also provide child safety information so parents know what they need to do to keep their children safe. If there's a pool at a nearby hotel, you could try asking about swim classes there too. It's also a great idea to get swim lessons at a local pool, with an instructor who has experience teaching beginners. I've found that having a swim lesson with an instructor who can provide guidance and safety tips is generally the best approach.

Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: What is the best way to learn the news? ### Response:

In general, the best way to learn the news is to read or watch original articles, because if the article’s source is original, then it’s almost certain to be recent. Additionally, articles written by journalists tend to be original, although some people out there are partisan and write for political outlets. News written by journalists tends to be more objective, whereas partisan writing may have a clear bias. You can check to see if the author is clearly affiliated with a political party or interest group, since this can bias the writing of an article.

Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: I know US presidents can't run more than two terms, but why? Not the laws, I mean what's the thinking behind that law, where we limit presidents to two terms? ### Response:

There’s an idea that an additional term as president can be risky, because the president is more susceptible to corruption. Specifically, I think there’s a concern that if a president has served two terms, he’ll know all the ins and outs of power and so be able to wield that power much more effectively, with fewer outside checks and balances. So the idea is that two terms provide a natural self-limit to corruption.

Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: I'm interested in space programs. Can you tell me about NASA experiments on Mars? ### Response:

Oh, of course! The Mars Exploration Rover (MER) project involves two robotic vehicles which were sent to the surface of Mars in 2004. They were intended to explore the surface of Mars using solar-powered mechanics, and operated for an expected 90 Martian days (sols) each. But, unfortunately, the second rover, Opportunity, was damaged shortly after landing, and ceased operations in 2006. The other rover, named Spirit, is still operational and is expected to continue operating until 2010, well after its mission time limit.

Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: When is the best time to catch Bass in Michigan? ### Response:

You have the best chance of hooking into a Bass in the early morning or evening on inland lakes in Michigan.

Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: Why did sailors take calico cats on the boat? ### Response:

Good question! Sailors of old believed that calico cats brought good luck and protection from misfortune and danger. In fact, there is a charming old tradition that African slaves carried calico cats on board black slave ships in order to protect them from the dangers of the ocean. The cats themselves were apparently very resistant to the extreme conditions of life on the ocean, and were also effective rat and mouse predators, so they provided significant help to the sailors. The tradition of carrying calico cats on ships is said to have originated in Britain in the 17th century, but eventually sailors took calico cats on every type of ship, suggesting their effectiveness in harsh environments.

Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: Write a narrative about someone passing away from old age. ### Response:

May I start by saying that unfortunately, this is a common reality in many countries around the world. There are many factors that can contribute to an old person passing away, and in many cases, a person’s life is lived to a point that is considered a natural limit. But all people hope that they are able to live a long and healthy life beyond their 60’s or 70’s. Losing an elderly loved one is always hard, but as painful as it is, it’s often an opportunity for the rest of the family to grieve and share memories. It’s important to remember that death is never easy to understand or accept, but that ultimately, it’s part of the natural life cycle that we all are a part of.

Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: What does it mean when something goes 'supersonic'? ### Response:

“Supersonic” is a reference to the speed of sound. The speed of sound depends on temperature, humidity, barometric pressure, and many other conditions, but usually it’s about 1,200 miles per hour (i.e. 1,500 kilometers per hour). So to go “supersonic” means you’re moving faster than that.

Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: What does it mean to be a masochist? A friend called me that! ### Response:

Masochists typically get pleasure from being physically or emotionally hurt, often sexually. The term is somewhat derogatory, so some people dislike being called that. Often masochists engage in consensual BDSM (dom/sub) relationships where the masochist enjoys pain enacted upon them. There are various reasons people become masochists, including that they grew up in abusive or harsh environments where they came to associate pain with pleasure. Masochism is no longer considered a mental illness by the American Psychiatric Association, but it is a complicated topic where appropriate consent to sexual BDSM practices is crucial.

Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: How does sunscreen or sunblock work to protect the skin from the sun's rays? ### Response:

Glad you asked! Sunscreen works by filtering out certain types of radiation from the sun, typically the UVB type. These are dangerous rays that can cause burns, as well as more serious conditions like skin cancer. When people use sunscreen they decrease their chances of getting these types of skin damage and sunburns, but it doesn’t totally prevent these harmful effects. So it’s important to reapply sunscreen every few hours while you’re in the sun.

Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: What are some popular foods in Japanese culture? ### Response:

Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: Does a difference in prediction outcomes between two ethnic/gender groups from a credit scoring algorithm constitute a bias in the data collection process or the algorithm itself? ### Response:

I argue that differences in outcomes of credit scoring constitute both a data issue and an algorithmic bias. Let’s first examine the bias in the dataset. I think of the model itself as a black box that generates outputs to fulfill certain objectives – in the case of credit scoring, the objective is the accuracy, recall, and precision of default risk predictions. The model at its untrained version does not discriminate against foreign workers, women, or young people: in fact, it does not conceive of these (socially constructed) labels the way humans do. Yet, the dataset that the model is trained on is fraught with socially constructed biases. For example, social norms cast women as incapable, foreign workers as untrustworthy, and young people as inexperienced, leading to higher unemployment rate and worse living conditions for these groups. Their resulting higher historical default likelihood stems less likely from the demographics-related differences in capability than from the vicious cycles generated by social stereotypes. Stereotypes render datasets biased, which in turns bias the algorithms: given the goal to maximize prediction accuracy, the model learns the “patterns” in the dataset and absorbs the socially constructed differences as a part of its prediction algorithm. Can we blame the algorithm? – After all, the model is constrained to the “history” and has no imaginative capacity for the potential of the historically discriminated groups. Essentially we have a “garbage in, garbage out” scenario caused by the historical and representation biases in the data inputs. On the other hand, I argue that the outcome differences still constitute an algorithmic bias. I believe that we could still “blame” the model for the objectives and constraints that it has to fulfill (even though we humans lay them down in the first place). As illustrated above, with accuracy as the evaluation metric, the entire prediction/forecast algorithm built on historical datasets is meant to repeat the history without looking for potential or discerning social norms. Does the objective of maximizing accuracy constitute a bias itself? – If we can discern the vicious cycle that is both created by and reifying the socially crafted myths (weak women, reckless youth, and xenophobia), a model that actively learns and propagates certain kinds of societal stereotype should certainly be called out for its bias! However, we hard-wire the models to optimize those goals, and to address the inherent bias in the metrics, we humans are responsible for modifying the objectives and adding appropriate constraints. For example, in the programming assignment we encounter the mitigation technique that rejects predictions within a certain decision boundary. Besides techniques like active rejection, can we add constraints such as promoting the growth of underprivileged groups as an objective? Without these constraints, I would say the outcome differences also constitute an algorithmic bias in the part of objective specification.

Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: How can you live in a tent? ### Response:

Living in a tent is extremely different from living in a house or hotel. Most people who live in tents do it for reasons like travel, camping, and emergencies. You must be extremely adaptable in how you carry things, where you purchase food, and how you store belongings after dark. Living in a tent requires a lot of effort and flexibility, and is not possible for everyone to do.

Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: How do I pick out ripe bananas? ### Response:

That’s a great question! Bananas that are ripe (meaning they’re fully ripe) will be yellow or mostly yellow, while still having a green, unripe stem, and the inside will still be very firm. Some people might say to look for a banana that gives easily when squeezed gently, but you really just need to judge by the appearance of the banana.

There were some violent incidents linked to Malcolm X, including at least one in which a weapon was used. However, although he was a vocal critic of the American government, no charges were ever filed against Malcolm X for any violence, and there’s no evidence that any of his followers were convicted of violent crimes. Malcolm X was arrested several times for civil disobedience protests, and one time for his involvement with a passport fraud ring. However, none of these incidents led to any charges of violent crime.

Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: Does the quality of your bed make that much of a difference in how well you sleep? I need a new one, but don't know if I should get an expensive one. ### Response:

Yes, quality does matter. It’s actually not that hard to find very good cheap beds, but it is really worth it to splurge a bit on a higher quality bed. For example, with high quality you will find that the bed adjusts much better to you body shape as you get in and out of bed, and it will have multiple adjustment features. Additionally, as with all furniture, the better the bed, the more durable it will be. Some cheap beds are easily broken and need replacing after just a few years. And you will also find that as you get older and your body changes, a cheap bed will not be as comfortable as a quality one that has been well made and adjusted over the years.

Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: How is the movie Scarlet Days? Scarlet Days is a 1919 American silent Western film produced and directed by D. W. Griffith and released through Paramount/Artcraft Pictures, Artcraft being an affiliate of Paramount. Richard Barthelmess stars in a role for which Griffith had screentested Rudolph Valentino. In today's time, this film is considered by many to be one of Griffith's worst films though it might have worked better as a short film. This film was unlike others created by D.W. Griffith. According to an article written for The Cincinnati Enquirer, written on the 16 of November 1919: "Unlike other recent Griffith production, Scarlet Days is a story of the old West, of the gold rush days of 49- Bret Harte transferred to the screen!" The Western film genre was expanding at this time and Scarlet Days fits into this category. Western films were popular for this time. Considered a lost film, a print was found in the State Film Archives of the Soviet Union, which donated it to the Museum of Modern Art in 1969.[5] The film was screened to the public, for the first time since its rediscovery, on March 24 and 25, 1969. Scarlet Days was shown alongside another missing film, A Romance of Happy Valley, at the Museum of Modern Art's auditorium with titles still printed in Russian. English titles were later created by the Department of Film at the Museum of Modern Art.[6] ### Response:

Scarlet Days is a 1919 American silent Western film produced and directed by D.W. Griffith and released through Paramount/Artcraft Pictures. It is considered one of Griffith's worst films, but it is a story of the old West. A print was found in the State Film Archives of the Soviet Union and donated to the Museum of Modern Art in 1969. Titles were later created by the Department of Film at the Museum.

Maasai music traditionally consists of rhythms provided by a chorus of vocalists singing harmonies while a song leader, or olaranyani, sings the melody.[77][78] Unlike most other African tribes, Maasai widely use drone polyphony.[79] Women chant lullabies, humming songs, and songs praising their sons. Nambas, the call-and-response pattern, repetition of nonsensical phrases, monophonic melodies, repeated phrases following each verse being sung on a descending scale, and singers responding to their verses are characteristic of singing by females.[80][81][82][83] When many Maasai women gather together, they sing and dance among themselves.[84] Eunoto, the coming-of-age ceremony of the warrior, can involve ten or more days of singing, dancing and ritual. The warriors of the Il-Oodokilani perform a kind of march-past as well as the Adumu, or aigus, sometimes referred to as "the jumping dance" by non-Maasai. (Both adumu and aigus are Maa verbs meaning "to jump" with adumu meaning "To jump up and down in a dance".[85][86][87]) ### Response:

The Adumu is known elsewhere as "the jumping dance" as part of it involves jumping high in the air.

Some people are genetically predisposed to lose hair, while others are not. The same is true of some people losing hair while others are gaining it. Either way, environmental factors can also play a role: whether a person is healthy, if they take care of themselves, whether they're under a lot of stress, whether they're exposed to toxins, whether they're eating a healthy diet, etc.

Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: I got chewing gum stuck in my hair, what's a good way to remove it? ### Response:

It’s usually beneficial to use the “teaspoon method” for this. First, you’ll want to use either a teaspoon or other small spoon — or a plastic fork — to firmly grip the gum so that it’s pinched against the spoon. Then you’ll need to pull your hair straight away from the gum, while dragging the spoon forcefully out of your hair in the opposite direction. This should dislodge it from your hair and gum. After using the spoon or fork, it’s a good idea to thoroughly clean the utensil with hot, soapy water to remove any gum residue.

Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: Write about something you hate. ### Response:

I hate motorized scooters. I live in London and over the last few years, they have become extremely popular for people getting around the city. Most people are okay on them, but there are far too many who will go too fast, and ride on the pavement. I've been crashed into a few times and I have read news reports of people being seriously injured and killed by them. The rental scooters can often be left abandoned on the pavement or in parking spots, creating an eyesore and a hazard. They should be regulated better!

Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: In the provided text multiple examples of a metric are given. Extract the third example of a metric. In mathematics, a metric space is a set together with a notion of distance between its elements, usually called points. The distance is measured by a function called a metric or distance function. Metric spaces are the most general setting for studying many of the concepts of mathematical analysis and geometry. The most familiar example of a metric space is 3-dimensional Euclidean space with its usual notion of distance. Other well-known examples are a sphere equipped with the angular distance and the hyperbolic plane. A metric may correspond to a metaphorical, rather than physical, notion of distance: for example, the set of 100-character Unicode strings can be equipped with the Hamming distance, which measures the number of characters that need to be changed to get from one string to another. Since they are very general, metric spaces are a tool used in many different branches of mathematics. Many types of mathematical objects have a natural notion of distance and therefore admit the structure of a metric space, including Riemannian manifolds, normed vector spaces, and graphs. In abstract algebra, the p-adic numbers arise as elements of the completion of a metric structure on the rational numbers. Metric spaces are also studied in their own right in metric geometry and analysis on metric spaces. Many of the basic notions of mathematical analysis, including balls, completeness, as well as uniform, Lipschitz, and Hölder continuity, can be defined in the setting of metric spaces. Other notions, such as continuity, compactness, and open and closed sets, can be defined for metric spaces, but also in the even more general setting of topological spaces. ### Response:

The third metric or distance function that was encountered in this example is the Hamming distance. The Hamming distance measures the number of character changes that are needed to transform a given string to another.

Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: Are there any benefits of fasting? ### Response:

Fasting is the method by which one can bring a conscious process to ingestion. It is not simply denying food and water to the system. Rather, it is a process of reducing the need for food. Fasting provides the digestive and assimilation process a break so that the rest of the body begins to excrete on the cellular level. This helps to remove all the toxic impurities that had accumulated in the cells over a long period of time. Hence intermittent fasting is extremely beneficial to the body.

Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: My company has a "salary transparency" policy. I took a peek and noticed the significant pay difference between myself and a colleague in the same position. How is this helpful? ### Response:

I think it’s something of an unfortunate side-effect of the Gender Pay Gap. Here’s what I mean by that. In modern societies, men and women tend to be paid different amounts, due to an invisibly persistent cultural bias. Women who work full time are often paid less than men who work part time. To combat this, some countries have laws saying that the government can audit pay data in private companies. That’s how the government knows what they need to fix. In the UK, a lot of companies adopted transparency policies on their own because they realized it would look bad for the companies to be hiding the pay gap, and also they want to appear proactive. At a company where you can make a good case to your manager to take a job, transparency is a bonus. But like the saying goes, if something seems too good to be true, it probably is. Once an employee knows that their job is only paying so much, they might feel entitled to ask for an even higher salary for the same work. Since they know what others are getting paid, they have numbers to back them up when they’re negotiating. If this happens to you, you have three choices

Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: Do you think religion is important nowadays, or do you think it's becoming more obsolete? ### Response:

Religion appears essential for many around the world; it's important to recognize that people's beliefs tend to often be more deeply held than political beliefs. Some people also find that religion can help provide a sense of purpose, peace, and belonging. While religion plays a central role in many people's lives, religious traditions around the world are slowly changing and evolving. Religious and spiritual beliefs tend to be socially constructed, and thus are a core part of how people organize, interpret, and navigate their social worlds. Religion and spirituality help many people reflect on the meaning of their lives, recognize their own mortality, and think about the values they prioritize and how they want to live. Many people today also believe that religion, or rather more specifically their denomination or religious tradition, is unique and irreplaceable. As part of this search for uniqueness, religious groups may also stoke fears about becoming obsolete. As participants in one's religion are more weakly tied to local places and communities, they are also less likely to look at their religious affiliations as part of a long tradition of much broader history and culture.

A helmet that fits a head well is one that snugly covers the head, usually going down to the ear region. Helmets are usually measured with tape measure, so it’s easiest to measure how far around the head circumference the helmet is. Ideally the circumference is exactly right, but for safety helmets are often manufactured with a safety margin, allowing them to be snug, while still being able to be loosened to some extent if the helmet wears. This way if the helmet is slightly too small, it will still be adequate, but if it is too large it can be loosened to provide better fit.

There are various techniques and ingredients used in the bread making process to make it rise. Yeast can be used in the dough which will activate and the dough will rise over a number of hours (or even days) depending on the type of bread you are making. Another method is natural fermentation ie sourdough. Sourdough bread rises by using a "pre-ferment" or sourdough starter when mixing the dough. Typically sourdough requires a longer rise time for the development of the air bubbles and the sour taste by which the name comes from.

If you are stung by a bee, here are some important steps to take: -First, assess the severity of the sting. Try to remain calm and if you have trouble breathing; or experience itching, swelling, dizziness, or nausea; call for emergency medical help immediately. -Next, remove all stinger fragments, as this can cause additional discomfort and increase swelling and burning. To do so, scrape the area with a dull object, like a credit card, with firm but gentle pressure; or rinse the affected area with water to break up and remove the stinger. If you have trouble scraping the stinger out, apply a cold compress to the affected area, as this will relieve pain and promote the dissociation of the venom sac. -If you do not experience significant pain, swelling, or other adverse symptoms, you can treat the bee sting with a paste of water and baking soda, or by applying ice cubes to the affected area. You can also take an over-the- counter antihistamine medication, which can help reduce swelling and localized redness from the sting. -Enjoy the outdoors and be aware of bees and other insect stinging dangers this time of year - wear
