And decades later, it served as Rinkert’s portal to the past inside the California Academy of Sciences. Information gleaned from such nests, woven long ago from species in plant communities called transitional habitat, could help restore the shoreline in the future. Transitional habitat has nearly disappeared from the San Francisco Bay, and scientists need a clearer picture of its original species composition—which was never properly documented. With that insight, conservation research groups like the San Francisco Bay Bird Observatory can help guide best practices when restoring the native habitat that has long served as critical refuge for imperiled birds and animals as adjacent marshes flood more with rising sea levels. “We can’t ask restoration ecologists to plant nonnative species or to just take their best guess and throw things out there,” says Rinkert." }, { "from": "assistant", "value": "Scientists are studying nests hoping to learn about transitional habitats that could help restore the shoreline of San Francisco Bay." } ]

The object appeared from behind the dark side of the moon and was originally believed to be an untracked asteroid or comet. However, the object's path and speed started changing until today it entered Earth's atmosphere. Instead of burning up like a hunk of space rock, it was able to penetrate the atmosphere and survive.\n\nThe military scrambled jets and the first sighting described the flying object as being triangular with a matte black exterior and no visible ports of entry or egress. It was a tense few moments as first contact was made but the craft was allowed to continue unhindered as it showed no hostile intent.\n\nPassing over Washington, D.C., Chicago, and other major metropolitan areas the craft finally touched down in Nevada. Many top officials believed they were heading to the notorious Area 51. But that proved not to be the case as the UFO instead landed directly on the Vegas strip. Roughly the size of a 747 jet, all traffic stopped immediately.\n\nTwo figures exited the craft distinctly humanoid in shape. The taller of the two raised its right hand and made a gesture splitting their fingers into a V-shape and spoke in perfect English, \"Live long and prosper.\" It was at this point that the shorter alien slapped the taller alien on the shoulder and let out an audible sigh.\n\nThey were Trekkies. The aliens were Star Trek fans.\n\nAs people approached the aliens they noticed they were clad in the uniforms of the original Star Trek officers, one in yellow for command and one in blue for science specialty. This was no alien invasion, this was a vacation.\n\nThe aliens were allowed to proceed as journalists and military personnel alike shadowed them. They went directly to the casino already possessing American dollars and proceeded to lose it all at the dice table in less than an hour. Following this display, they went to the buffet and ate three plates of crab legs. These visitors to Vegas were not too different from us. We are not alone." } ]

It is great that Marrianne Whyte shared her warning on Facebook because it raises awareness of this issue. In fact, her post has been shared 1.5 million times.\n\nWhen she tried to wake her dog up, she thought the dog had been having a dream, or been experiencing night terrors.

After returning early from work Marrianne Whyte found the dog in a confused state, so she took him to the emergency vet. \n\nIt was then she discovered that the tea tree oil in her diffuser is toxic for dogs.

Guinea pigs are animals that are best in bonded pairs or groups. You should never adopt only one guinea pig as they are social creatures. Guinea pigs need to eat hay (timothy, oat, or wheatgrass) every day as their teeth are constantly growing and need to be ground down as they chew. They should also have nutritional pellets daily and a mixture of vegetables. Never feed your guinea pig iceberg lettuce, though, as it's too watery! When your guinea pig learns its feeding pattern, you'll notice a high-pitched 'wheek!' sound coming from their cage as soon as the fridge opens or they hear the rustle of a plastic bag! Supplement your feedings with occasional Vitamin C drops, also. Take your guinea pigs out once a day for free roam or floor time so that they can stretch their legs and play. Cages should be at minimum 2 feet by 3 feet for a single guinea pig - but more is always better if you've got the space. Boars need to have boar cleanings once a month where you'll clean out their inside sac of all the hay, food, and bedding particles that accumulate in there. Speaking of bedding - many owners recommend using fabric cage liners for guinea pigs as it's soft on their feet, easy to clean, and good for the environment. These include a top and bottom layer of fleece with an absorbing pad in the middle. You'll just wipe up quick messes of pee or poop on top, then throw the liners in the washing machine once a week. If you can't do liners, soft untreated paper bedding is best. " } ]

[ { "from": "human", "value": "Summarize what hi-fi audio is in less than three sentences.\n\nWhat is hi-fi audio?\nHi-fi audio, also known as high fidelity audio, is simply audio that is very high quality.\n\nThe factors that play into this level of quality are a high accuracy at reproducing the audible frequencies in audio, and extremely little distortion in the original audio signal. This in general is what “high fidelity” means.\n\nLet’s break this down in another way. You’ve likely heard of lo-fi music before; if not, it’s a genre that is often mixed with elements of jazz or hip-hop. The instrumentation is not relevant for this example, however; let’s focus on the general sound.\n\nLo-fi music is characterized as having a low quality, almost underwater type sound, usually with crackling and warping sounds from a vinyl record, to add to the ambience. Instruments are usually “broken” sounding or boxy.\n\nWith hi-fi, it’s simply the opposite of lo-fi. If lo-fi audio is described as being old, broken, and fuzzy sounding, hi-fi is accurately described as sounding clear, clean, crisp, and free from distortion and other unwanted sonic artifacts.\n\nA more technical answer would be this:\n\nMusic files that have a higher sample rate and/or bit depth than CDs are what high fidelity audio is considered to be.\n\nCDs have a sample rate of 44.1 KHz and a 16-bit bit depth, so as long as at least one of these numbers is higher than those of a CD, audio is considered to be hi-fi." }, { "from": "assistant", "value": "Hi-fi audio—as opposed to lo-fi, which a defining characteristic of is its low-quality sound—is high-quality audio with exceptional frequency response and little if any distortion.

Up until UFC 290 in July, there are like 1 to 2 fights max per fight night cards that I care for and I'm a diehard fan of the sport. The next PPV (UFC 289) card is just an abomination on so many levels with the only saving grace being Olivera vs Dariush. I would even go as far as to say the last Canadian card UFC fight night 158 Vancouver (2019) is better than the embarrassment that is UFC 289.\n\nI feel that the roster is just oversaturated to hell with so many middle/low tier fighters who need to be cut as harsh as that might be and because of that the UFC are increasingly pushing quantity over quality to meet quotas, as they have to offer their fighters x number of fights a year. Speaking of UFC 290 which is in international fight week compare that card with UFC 239 card which was in 2019 (pre-covid) and it's just so, so much more stacked on every level, including the prelims, much more fitting for international fight week.\n\nEven UFC 276 international fight week last year compared to UFC 290 was just better in my view on paper (more compelling fights overall). Also before everyone jumps on me, UFC 290 is not a bad card (although why the f is Jack Della Madellena on the prelims) but each year I just feel the state of matchmaking declining further and further down with these shitty filler fight nights like last weekend.\n\nA lack of big-name stars committing to fights stuck in limbo (Conor, Khamzat, Jones etc etc etc), bigger-name fighters getting injured on PPV and the UFC moving them entirely instead of booking replacements (Thompson Vs Perriera as an example), no more triple champion cards (UFC 217 being my all-time favorite), ever-increasing PPV prices for less quality is just making the product dull. Instead of these BS fight nights cards I wish they would cut 1/3 of the roster and do every month one solid PPV stacked from top to bottom like how it was trending towards before 2020 hit.\n\nSorry for the long rant but surely I'm not the only one feeling this way, maybe you guys have different views but I think it's becoming frustrating as shit being a fan of the UFC and my interest is just slowly being chipped away." }, { "from": "assistant", "value": "Okay, I’ll try to explain it simply.

The idea of being able to bank anytime, anywhere appeals to most consumers because the average person often has a number of activities to attend to on any given day that can include taking kids to school and picking them up, shopping for groceries, cooking, cleaning, laundry, homework, and working eight hours per day. The ability to quickly and efficiently get the banking done means you can mark one very important item off the list. \n\nOnline Banking benefits the bank and its employees as well. Tasks that could once only be completed by a bank employee are now quickly and easily handled by the customer at their convenience. Because of these and other advantages, online banking continues to grow into a multi-billion dollar business. Some of the latest banking technology allows customers to deposit checks and cash without the assistance of a bank employee. And who knows what the future might hold for this industry? Everyone will agree that online banking is a powerful business delivery channel that assists customers in better managing their personal and business finances.\n" } ]

[ { "from": "human", "value": "Come up with a theory that supports the idea that the universe is contained within a gigantic black hole." }, { "from": "assistant", "value": "Although current scientific evidence and belief does not support it, there is some merit to the idea that the universe as we see it is contained within a gigantic black hole, one that is so big that it contains all the stars, galaxies, and matter that we see around us.\n\nOne consideration in support of this theory is the observation made by Hubble's Space Telescope that confirmed recently that the expansion of the universe - caused by the Big Bang - is neither slowing nor remaining constant, but is instead accelerating. Current hypotheses about the cause for this acceleration include the presence of an exotic form of energy, called dark energy, which is causing the speeding up of the expansion of the universe. However, scientists have yet to find any evidence that such dark energy exists.\n\nIn the black hole theory of the universe, it could be argued that the accelerated expansion of the universe is leading all matter in the universe toward a black hole singularity since any object that falls into a black hole experiences increasing acceleration when falling toward a black hole's singularity - its center.\n\nAnother observation in support of the universal black hole theory is the fact that a large portion of the universe's mass seems to be missing and unaccounted for. While dark matter has been posited as the missing piece of the puzzle, it is also plausible that the unaccounted-for matter that is missing could be in the form of a black hole singularity that exists somewhere in the universe but which we cannot readily see yet due to large distances between it and the instruments we use to observe the universe. Since the bulk of a black hole's mass exists as a single point within the black hole when gravity compresses a great amount of mass into it, it could be argued that the majority of the mass of the universe exists as a singularity within the black hole universe in which we reside.\n\nOverall, we may not be able to find the answers we seek even with extensive study into the observations we make of our universe. With current technology and the limitations imposed on us by the sheer size of the universe, we can only rely on indirect observations of phenomena to infer what is really happening in our universe." } ]

They will be replaced by a crew of equally well-trained kangaroos.\n\nAs a breed, kangaroos are known for their strength, having been trained to box for many years in Australia. This aptitude adapts well to the hand-to-hand combat training cadets receive in the police academy. Their speed is comparable to that of our canine officers, thanks to their ability to leap great distances. Kangaroos have to wear a minimum of gear, using the storage naturally available within their pouches. And many kangaroos have an imposing size, with some breeds exceeding 7 feet in height.\n\nThe inaugural unit of kangaroos, the KangaRegiment, has been trained to the same high standards of performance as the department's retiring K-9 officers. Each Rooficer (as these kangaroo officers are nicknamed) was individually selected from hundreds of applications from well-qualified Rooficer candidates. To be offered the position, the candidate had to measure between 7 and 8.5 feet in stature to present an intimidating physical presence. They had to outperform other candidates in distance leaping. And they had to show prowess inside the boxing ring.\n\nWe request that citizens respect these new police officers in the same way you did our K-9s: do not approach them or their human partner officer in a menacing way, and do not try to pet them without asking their human partner officer first. Remember, these are service kangaroos, and when you see them with their partner out in the field, they are on the job, protecting the citizens of Macadamia County.\n\nPlease join me in congratulating our new Rooficers and wishing our retiring Canines a well-deserved, restful retirement!" } ]

Start with one-and-a-half cups of whole-wheat pastry flour, one-half cups, at pastry flour. If you don't have it in your pantry, you can use white whole-wheat flour or three-quarter cups (100 grams) of all-purpose flour and whole-wheat flour.

She’ll ask how my day was, and I’ll get to gladly report that our accounts are about to plummet.\n\n“…organizational restructuring… comprehensive analysis… strategic objectives…”\n\nHer cold words exited her mouth with emotionless, corporate precision.

I am very grateful to receive this recognition from the school tonight. To retire my number so that I may always be remembered is a great tribute. I thank you all so much for being here to share this occasion with me. I am very proud to have my hard work recognized in this way and it's a great achievement.\n\nHowever, I did not accomplish this feat alone. I had many great teammates and we all worked hard together as a team. I would like to take this moment to thank them because I would not be receiving this great honor without them.\n \nI would also like to thank the school's athletic director for arranging this halftime ceremony, as well as my wife and children for giving me the motivation to stay on the right track in life. My love for basketball gave me the motivation to be great on the court and my love for my wife and kids gives me the motivation to continue to be great in life.\n\n Last, but not least, thank you to my coaches for working with me and helping me get better and better at the game so that I could achieve this. It was a privilege to learn from them. I have continued to put forth the type of effort they expected of me even though I no longer play basketball. Pushing yourself to your limit is a valuable mindset not only in sports but in life itself and I am very grateful to them for teaching me that.\n\nTo conclude my speech I would like to wish both teams good luck in the second half tonight and give a final thank you to the school for allowing me to receive such a incredible honor. I hope everyone has a good night and enjoys the rest of the game." } ]
