Can you suggest a substitute for dried mushrooms in this recipe?
Generate according to: 1. Soak the dried mushrooms in warm water for 20 minutes and then roughly chop.

Simply sauté them in a bit of oil or butter until they release their juices and are tender, then chop and add them to the recipe in place of the dried mushrooms. Other options could include using mushroom powder, mushroom broth, or omitting the mushrooms altogether and adding a different flavor component such as herbs or spices.

[Assistant]
Sure! Wayman Tisdale was mostly known for his work as a professional basketball player, but he was also an accomplished musician. Tisdale began playing the bass guitar when he was just eight years old and continued playing throughout his life.

In 1995, Tisdale took a break from basketball to record his debut album, "Power Forward", which reached number four on the Billboard Top Contemporary Jazz Albums chart. From there, Tisdale went on to release eight more jazz albums, including "Face to Face", "Way Up!", and "The Absolute Greatest Hits".

Tisdale's music was heavily inspired by his experiences on the basketball court and his love for jazz and R&B. He often played bass guitar on his albums, and also collaborated with a number of other musicians throughout his career.

In addition to his music career, Tisdale also founded the Wayman Tisdale Foundation, which helped provide prosthetic limbs to those in need. He remained active in both music and philanthropy until his death in 2009.

[User]
Still yet to confirm, but most probable specs put fourth.
While the wraps are still tightly sealed on the iPhone 5's complete official specs, many reports floating about combine to give a fair idea of what's on the cards with Apple's 5th gen smartphone.
There's still quite a bit of umm'ing and ahh'ing going on, but the folks over at Tech-Reviews help and draw a conclusion as to the most probable specs of the phone, basing their thoughts on the many reports and tid bits of info that have leaked in recent months.
As suspected for quite a while now, they believe the phone will use the new A5 dual-core CPU found in the iPad 2, a 3.7-inch display (but are hoping for a 4-inch using the latest Quantum Dot LED Technology), an 8MP camera, possibility (but not a probability) of 4G LTE support and NFC (Near field communication) Payment, a vaguely heard of, super convenient payment technology that simply requires the phone be waved in front of the counter in stores. They also acknolwedge reports that indicate Apple might be partnering with Paypal for NFC.
Of course, none of the above is confirmed and we're still waiting to get some real concrete info. But as the days tick on closer to launch, we'll no doubt start to see some more solid details emerge in advance. What are some of the features that are being speculated for the iPhone 5, including the CPU, display size, camera, and payment technology?

[Assistant]
- A5 dual-core CPU
- 3.7-inch display (with possibility of a 4-inch Quantum Dot LED display)
- 8MP camera
- Possible support for 4G LTE and NFC Payment technology (with potential partnership with Paypal)

[User] Can you provide any information on the release date of the iPhone 5 or is that still unknown at this point?

[Assistant] I do not have access to current information beyond what has been previously reported. However, at the time of its expected release, rumors suggested that the iphone 5 would be released in september 2012.

[User] That's a shame, I was hoping you could share some personal experiences. But anyways, do you have any recommendations on which festival would be the best for someone who loves electronic dance music?

[User] Int gcd(int a, int b);

[Assistant]
// Returns the greatest common divisor of integers a and b
int gcd(int a, int b) {
    if (a == 0) {
        return b;
    } else {
        return gcd(b % a, a);
    }
}

[User] This is helpful. Can you also provide an example of how to use this function in a program?

[Assistant]
Sure! Here's an example of how to use the `gcd()` function in a program:

```
#include <stdio.h>

int gcd(int a, int b);

int main() {
    int x, y;

    printf("Enter two integers: ");
    scanf("%d %d", &x, &y);

    int result = gcd(x, y);

    printf("The greatest common divisor of %d and %d is %d\n", x, y, result);

    }
}
```

When the program is run, the user is prompted to enter two integers. Then, the `gcd()` function is called with these two integers as arguments, and the resulting greatest common divisor is printed to the console.


[User] How did the works of Charles Dickens reflect the social issues of his time?

[Assistant] Charles Dickens' works reflected the social issues of his time by exploring and illuminating the injustices and inequalities present in Victorian England. In his novels, he highlighted the harsh realities of poverty, factory working conditions, child labor, debtors' prisons, and social injustice by combining his knowledge of these issues with his gifted storytelling abilities. His works were characterized by vivid descriptions of life in the slums, factories, and debtor's prisons, and he exposed what he felt were the failings of the English social and judicial systems. By focusing on the marginalized and disadvantaged members of society, Dickens encouraged his readers to reflect on their own roles in creating and perpetuating social inequality. Overall, his works served as a critical commentary on the social and economic conditions of his time and continue to be celebrated for their deep insights into human nature and society.

[User] It's amazing how Charles Dickens was able to weave social commentary into his stories while still making them so entertaining to read!

[Assistant] I agree with you! charles dickens was truly a master of storytelling, who managed to write engaging and entertaining stories while still highlighting important social issues of his time. His use of vivid characters, descriptive settings, and intricate plots enabled him to capture his readers' imaginations and draw them into his stories, while his eye for detail and his gift for observation allowed him to bring to life the social and economic injustices that he witnessed around him. His works continue to be beloved today not only for their entertainment value but also for the important messages they convey about human nature and society.

[User] It's interesting how Dickens was ahead of his time in addressing social issues like income inequality and workers' rights. Do you think his works still resonate with modern readers?

[Assistant] I believe that charles dickens' works still resonate with modern readers because the social issues that he explored are still relevant today. Income inequality, workers' rights, poverty, and unjust social structures are still prevalent throughout the world. His works also continue to appeal to readers because of their timeless themes of love, family, redemption, and the power of the human spirit to overcome adversity. Dickens' works demonstrate the struggle of the human experience and illustrate that even in dark times, there is always hope for a better future. In conclusion, while the victorian england portrayed in his works may be in the past, the underlying issues and themes that are addressed continue to be of relevance to contemporary society today.

23 Hope and Faith Love Poems - Is it True Lasting Love?
Faith is believing in something you can't see. Love requires a lot of faith. These days infidelity is rife and, frankly, this makes love much more risky than in ages past. But does it stop us? Not at all. We keep on believing in love. We keep hoping that true love, lasting love, can still be found. Once we have found someone to spend our life with, we must still trust. We must trust that the most intimate details about ourselves are safe with them. We trust that they will care for our delicate heart, taking care never to wound or break it. How sweet it is too, when the passing of time proves to us that our faith was not unfounded.

Here is a piece of text: The whole point of the reg standards is easy visualisation. Surely when you say the carrier is 10% of the same of waves, you'd stop and think... That doesn't sound right?
It's 0.94 microwales! Not 0.94 wales!

Based on the text material above, generate the response to the following quesion or instruction: How does the information that the carrier is 0.94 microwaves instead of 0.94 wales affect the overall message of the text material?

[Assistant] The information that the carrier is 0.94 microwaves instead of 0.94 wales clarifies that the measurement is in a different unit and emphasizes the importance of adhering to the visualisation standards. It is a reminder to double-check the accuracy of the information being presented.

[User] Can you please explain the reg standards further and how they relate to the information about the carrier?

[Assistant]
The "reg standards" referred to in the text likely stand for "regulatory standards." These are guidelines or requirements set by regulatory authorities to ensure that information is presented accurately and consistently within a particular industry or field.

In this case, the text is emphasizing the importance of adhering to these standards for easy visualization of the information. For example, if a measurement is given in microwaves, it should be presented as such rather than in another unit, such as wales, which could be confusing or misleading.

The information about the carrier being 0.94 microwaves instead of 0.94 wales highlights the importance of following these standards to avoid potential misunderstandings or errors in communication. By being accurate in the use of units and other presentation elements, the intended message can be conveyed more effectively.

[User] Can you provide an example of how not following the reg standards could lead to confusion in communication?

[Assistant]
Sure! Here's an example:

Let's say a company is reporting the concentration of a chemical in a solution, and they report it as 5 parts per million (ppm). This is a common unit of measurement for chemical concentrations. However, if they report it as 5 millimeters per liter (mm/L) by mistake, this could be confusing for others who are expecting the measurement to be in ppm.

The difference in units (ppm vs. Mm/L) may not be immediately obvious, and someone who is expecting ppm might assume that the concentration is extremely high (since 5 ppm is a relatively high concentration for many chemicals). This could lead to incorrect assumptions, decisions, or actions based on this incorrect information.

By following the reg standards and using consistent, accurate units of measurement, the company could avoid potential confusion or errors in communication.

[User] Write a free verse poem focused on vivid imagery that depicts the power and grace of a wild stallion as it charges across the open plains, with themes of freedom, strength, and untamed beauty. Incorporate sensory details such as the wind in the horse's mane, the thundering of its hooves, and the vast expanse of the landscape. Consider using personification or metaphor to enhance the emotion and energy of the poem.

[Assistant]
The wild stallion charges across the open plains,
Muscles rippling beneath its skin,
Its hooves pounding the earth with untamed might,
As if each stride is a battle cry to the wind.

The wind is like a dance partner,
Playing with the horse's mane,
Flirting with its wild spirit,
As if it too is caught in the stallion's reign.

The sun illuminates the horse's beauty,
Its coat a tapestry of colors,
Like the wildflowers that dream of growing there,
But stand no chance against the stallion's powers.

The stallion runs like the wind,
Its strength a force not to be reckoned with,
It's a creature of freedom, untamed and wild,
Living life as it was meant to be lived.

The thundering hooves of the wild stallion,
Echo through the vast expanse of the land,
A symbol of raw, untamed beauty,
Leaving a trail of power and grace in its wake.

For the wild stallion, freedom is its life,
And its spirit is one that can never be tamed,
Forever a symbol of strength and untamed beauty,
In the hearts of those who've witnessed its reign.

[User] That's a beautiful poem! Can you add some more details about the landscape the stallion is charging through? Perhaps you could describe the shape of the hills or the color of the sky.

[Assistant]
The wild stallion charges through the rolling hills,
Their shapes like undulating waves crashed against a shore,
In the distance, mountains frame the horizon,
Their peaks covered in snow and their sides a rugged chore.

The color of the sky is like a canvas,
Vivid shades of blues and pinks blend together,
Painting a portrait of a world in motion,
As if nature itself is being set free to roam forever.

The wind roars over the open landscape,
Like a lion's cry, it echoes through the valley,
Rustling the grasses and lifting the dust,
As the stallion charges with grace, strength, and vitality.

The beauty of the scene is unrivaled,
A wild, untamed world that's beyond compare,
The stallion charges across the open plains,
A symbol of freedom, courage, and everything that's rare.

Could you provide a summary of the poem "Her Lonely Grave"?: Click on the title of each poem for the text in Chinese characters, pinyin and literal translation.
Her lonely grave is a thousand li distant, I can't say where my wife lies cold.
My face is all but covered with dust, my temples glazed with frost.
She sits before a little window, and sorts her dress and make-up.
Where the moon shines brightly in the night, and bare pines guard the tomb.
We laugh together, watching through the night.
The drums as well should give the hour respect.
I rise and see the Plough is slanting north.
My fear is that I've just been marking time.
I still admire the exuberance of our youth!
As random drops of white rain leap into the boats.
Below I see the lake a mirror of the sky.

[Assistant] The poem "Her Lonely Grave" is written from the perspective of a widowed husband who is unable to visit his wife's grave, which is located far away from him. He describes his appearance as dusty and aged, while his wife's beauty is still preserved in his memory. He imagines her sorting her dress and make-up beside her grave, which is guarded by bare pines under the moonlight. The poem ends with the realization that time has passed and youth has faded, yet the memories of his wife and their happy times together remain vivid in his mind.

[User] Can you provide any historical background or cultural significance related to the poem "Her Lonely Grave"?

[Assistant]
The poem "Her Lonely Grave" was written by the Tang dynasty poet Du Fu in the 8th century. During this time, the concept of filial piety was highly valued in Chinese society, which emphasized the importance of respect and devotion towards one's parents and ancestors, including visiting their graves to pay homage.

The poem reflects the pain and longing of a husband who is unable to fulfill his filial duties towards his deceased wife, as her grave is located far away. This expresses a sense of sadness and loss felt by many individuals during Du Fu's time who were unable to visit the graves of loved ones due to distance or other circumstances.

Furthermore, the poem also touches upon themes of the passing of time and the transience of youth, as the husband reflects on his own aging while still holding onto memories of his youthful love with his wife. This theme also reflects the impermanence of life and the importance of cherishing the moments we have with our loved ones.

Overall, "Her Lonely Grave" reflects the cultural values and beliefs of Tang dynasty China, as well as the universal themes of love, loss, and the passage of time that resonate with readers across cultures and time periods.

[User] Given the text: Even though I don't believe in it, I had Writer's Block. That is probably why I neglected this blog for so long. But I've been writing, I tell myself. But it's not writing my truth. It's lesson plans, workshops, all kinds of randomness in emails, but not my truth. Instead of using this blog as a platform to highlight Black women poets and artists, I'll use it to highlight me. Yep, spotlight on me. Well, not necessarily me. It will be a way to offer updates on my writing life. That's what most other writers use their blogs for, duh! Don't fret, if you like my mini-reviews on poets and singers, check out my tumblr where I post clips there. Also check out Poet/Professor Honoree Jeffers blog that highlights poets. This means I'm changing the tag to "Musings on my Writing Life, or Lack Thereof.” I like it. It's not anything to live up to, just me. Don’t delete me out of your RSS feeds yet - I'm back. However I think I'll only post about once a week. Maintaining a blog is a bit too much for me to handle right now. Still I want to stay connected to you in a longer format than my foolery on Twitter. Thank you to all the people who have subscribed (still haven't fixed my Feedreader) by RSS or Google connect. You each give me inspiration to update this blog. Meanwhile, check out Ms. Crystal Wilkson's blog. She is an author, co-editor of literary journal Mythium, professor and all around cool person. Her post on book segregation in is reminiscent of Carleen Brice's I Love Black Authors Movement. Read both articles and become a member of the Book Mafia. Those who believe this is a bribe post to get into Mythium are correct in their assumption. However, I haven't event compiled a submission yet so they can't even accept my work yet (which I'm sure they’ll do #bribepost). Is the author planning to completely stop blogging, or just reduce the frequency of their posts?

This easy-to-make pie blends creamy no-fat, sugar-free vanilla ice cream with sweet strawberry puree. Garnish with blueberries. Perfect for July 4th or any time of year.
Preheat oven to 225ºF. Coat a 9-inch glass pie plate with cooking spray and set aside.
Combine the egg whites and cream of tartar in a medium bowl and beat at medium speed until foamy. Beat in the vanilla.
Gradually add the sugar and beat at high speed until stiff peaks form.
Spread into the prepared pie plate. Bake 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes or until the meringue is dry. Cool in the pan on a wire rack.
Place the strawberries in a food processor and process until pureed. Place the ice cream in a large bowl, stirring until smooth. Add the strawberry puree and gently swirl together without mixing completely.
Spoon into the cooled meringue crust. Cover and freeze overnight for 8 hours. Let stand at room temperature 10 minutes before slicing into 10 pieces. If you want to get creative, add fresh strawberries and blueberries as a "red, white and blue" garnish. Is it possible to substitute the strawberries for a different fruit in the recipe?

[Assistant] Yes, you can substitute the strawberries with another fruit of your choice. Some good options include raspberries, blueberries, blackberries, or a combination of fruits. Just make sure to puree the fruit before swirling it into the ice cream.

[User] Can you suggest any tips for making the meringue crust perfectly crispy?

[Assistant]
Certainly! Here are some tips for making a perfectly crispy meringue crust:

1. Use a glass pie plate: A glass pie plate will help conduct heat more evenly and ensure even baking.

2. Make sure the egg whites are at room temperature: Cold eggs are harder to separate and can result in an unstable meringue. Be sure to let your egg whites come to room temperature before beating them.

3. Beat the egg whites to stiff peaks: When beating the egg whites, continue beating until they reach stiff peaks. This creates a sturdier meringue that will hold up better during the baking process.

4. Be patient: Cook the meringue slowly at a low temperature. High heat can cause the meringue to brown too quickly and become chewy instead of crispy.

5. Let it cool: Allow the meringue to cool completely in the pan before adding the ice cream mixture. This will help prevent the crust from becoming soggy.

By following these tips, you should be able to achieve a perfectly crispy meringue crust for your pie!

[User] Write a Python program that takes a user input number and uses a built-in function or mathematical equation to find and output the cube root of that number. The program should provide clear prompts for the user to enter their desired number and should handle any possible errors or exceptions that may occur in the input process or calculation. Additionally, the program should be properly commented and follow standard Python style conventions for readability and maintainability.

[Assistant]
# This program takes a user input number and outputs the cube root of that number

# Prompt the user to enter their desired number
while True:
    try:
        user_input = float(input("Enter a number: "))
        break
    except ValueError:
        print("Please enter a valid number.")

# Calculate the cube root using the pow function
if user_input >= 0:
    cube_root = pow(user_input, 1/3)
else:
    cube_root = -pow(-user_input, 1/3)

# Output the result to the user
print(f"The cube root of {user_input} is {cube_root}")

[User] Could you explain more about how the pow function works in calculating the cube root? I'm not very familiar with it.

[Assistant]
Sure! The `pow` function is a built-in Python function that allows you to perform exponential operations. In particular, the `pow` function takes two arguments: the first argument is the base and the second argument is the exponent. For example, `pow(2, 3)` would calculate 2 to the power of 3, which is 8. In the context of finding the cube root of a number, you can use the `pow` function to raise the number to the power of one-third. Here's an example: if you wanted to find the cube root of 27, you could use the `pow` function as follows:
```
cube_root = pow(27, 1/3)
```

The `1/3` exponent represents the one-third power, which is the same as taking the cube root of a number. The `pow` function calculates 27 to the power of one-third, which gives you the cube root of 27, which is 3. So in our program, we used the `pow` function to find the cube root of the user's input number. If the input number was negative, we first made it positive before taking the cube root, and then converted the result back to a negative number.

[User] Could you show me another example of using the `pow` function to calculate a cube root?

[Assistant]
Sure! Let's say you wanted to find the cube root of 125. You could use the `pow` function as follows:
```
cube_root = pow(125, 1/3)
```

The `1/3` exponent represents the one-third power, which is the same as taking the cube root of a number. The `pow` function calculates 125 to the power of one-third, which gives you the cube root of 125, which is 5. So the resulting `cube_root` variable would be equal to 5.

What is the difference between online, short-term, and long-term archives in Robot Reports? Answer according to: Archiving is a process in Robot Repots that stores reports. Some call this the report "retention plan."
It has three stages—online, short-term, and long-term. When the REPARCHIVE command is run, it checks archive dates and, when needed, moves reports to the next stage.
Online archive is stored in the RBTREPLIB library as individual objects.
Short Term archive stores the REPORTS in save files in the REPSHTRMLB library.
Long Term moves the save files to REPLNTRMLB library and then does a SAVLIB of that library to TAPE or OPTICAL.

[Assistant] The difference between online, short-term, and long-term archives in Robot Reports is the duration of time for which the reports are stored and the method of storage. Online archive is immediately accessible and stored as individual objects in the RBTREPLIB library. Short-term storage saves reports as save files in the REPSHTRMLB library for a specified period of time before being moved to long-term storage. Long-term storage moves the save files to REPLNTRMLB library and then does a SAVLIB of that library to tape or optical for long-term preservation.

[User] Can you please provide instructions on how to run the REPARCHIVE command in Robot Reports?

[Assistant]

[User] How did the construction of a new transportation system in Tokyo in 2020 affect the daily commute of residents in the city?

[Assistant] I do not have information on whether a new transportation system was built in tokyo in 2020 or not. However, it is safe to assume that the construction of a new transportation system would improve the daily commute of residents in the city by providing more efficient and convenient modes of transportation, reducing congestion and travel time, and potentially opening up new areas for development and economic growth.

[User] That makes sense. I hope they did build a new transportation system. Tokyo already has a great public transportation, but it can be overcrowded at times.

[Assistant] Yes, Tokyo already has a highly developed and efficient public transportation system, but there is always room for improvement. The construction of new transportation options could help alleviate overcrowding and provide faster and more convenient travel options for commuters. Additionally, improvements to the transportation infrastructure could also benefit the overall sustainability of the city, as it could encourage more people to use public transportation instead of driving, which would reduce traffic congestion and air pollution.

[User] Yeah, I really hope they prioritize sustainability in any new transportation projects. It's so important to think about the environment and reducing our carbon footprint.

[Assistant] I completely agree with you. It is crucial to prioritize sustainability in any new transportation projects. Sustainable transportation options, such as public transportation networks that run on renewable energy or electric/hybrid vehicles, can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions, which contribute to climate change. In addition, incorporating sustainable features into new transportation infrastructure, such as the use of energy-efficient materials, can help reduce the overall environmental impact of the projects. Ultimately, prioritizing sustainability can help create a more livable and healthy environment, not just for current residents but for future generations as well.

What if God is real? Better yet, what if God is tech-savvy?
That’s the wild premise of “God Friended Me,” one of the few original TV shows — read: not a remake, reboot, spinoff or sequel — this season, pulled from the minds of “Alcatraz” co-creators Steven Lilien and Bryan Wynbrandt.
If the concept sounds heretical, that’s because it may be; there’s literally a burning bush. But there’s also a message of hope and of believing in something bigger than ourselves, whether or not that higher power knows how to send Facebook friend requests.
Hall plays Miles Finer, an atheist with a radio show who literally receives a friend request from God. The 25-year-old “Mayor” alum — who studied at Julliard and was raised by his single mother, a preacher — said he fell in love with the script as soon as he read it.
He also has a few suggestions for who should play God if the account ever comes to life: Whoopi Goldberg, Michelle Obama or Cecily Tyson.
The family includes Cara Bloom (Violett Beane), a journalist who Miles saves and ends up befriending before helping her on a journey to find her mother. Joe Morton — Eli Pope on “Scandal” — plays Miles’ estranged father and a reverend at the local church. Miles’ sister Ali (Javicia Leslie) wants to see her family back together.
It’s almost impossible to judge a TV show on one episode, but “God Friended Me” has promise and deserves credit for being a truly original story in the age of revivals. The pilot is steeped in bad millennial clichés — Cara hasn’t turned in an article in six weeks, Miles’ best friend Rakesh (Suraj Sharma) won’t stop complaining about Tinder — and the title is enough to scare anyone off, but if the show can stay true to the heart of its message, it could be enough to make the nonbeliever believe, at least a little, at least in something.
“In 2018, the world has gone to a very strange place. It’s dark and, at times, unforgiving. We wanted to bring a ray of light and hope to the world,” Wynbrandt told The News.
“God Friended Me” premieres Sunday at 8 p.m. On CBS. Based on the passage above, What does one of the creators of the show hope to accomplish with this story?

[Assistant] The creator of the show hopes to bring a ray of light and hope to the world in a time when it has become dark and unforgiving with the premise of a tech-savvy God friending an atheist on Facebook.

[User] Can you provide more information about the cast of the show?

[Assistant]
Sure! The main cast of "God Friended Me" includes:

- Brandon Micheal Hall as Miles Finer
- Violett Beane as Cara Bloom
- Joe Morton as Arthur Finer
- Suraj Sharma as Rakesh
- Javicia Leslie as Ali Finer

Additionally, the show features guest stars such as Rachel Bay Jones, Kyle Harris, and Erica Gimpel.

[User] Can you give me more information on the different types of exercise bikes and their benefits?

[Assistant]
Certainly! Here are the different types of exercise bikes along with their benefits:

1. Upright Exercise Bike: An upright bike is similar in design to a traditional road bike. These bikes provide a more genuine biking experience and help you to maintain proper body posture during exercise. Upright bikes are great for cardiovascular workouts, strengthening your legs and even toning your core muscles. 2. Recumbent Exercise Bike: A recumbent exercise bike provides a more relaxed exercise experience, and is easier on your back and neck. While still providing a good cardio workout, these bikes are more comfortable to sit in because of their larger, supportive seat and backrest. 3. Spin Bike: Designed for high-intensity cardio workouts, spin bikes have a heavier flywheel that simulates the feeling of outdoor cycling. They also have adjustable resistance levels, so you can easily increase the intensity of your workout. All of these exercise bikes have their own unique benefits and features. When selecting an exercise bike for your home gym, consider your fitness goals, budget, and which type of bike will suit your needs best.
