Persuasion, published in 1817, is romantic novel with themes of mature love, second chances, and family loyalty. Persuasion centers around Anne Elliot, who is one of three daughters of Sir Walter Elliot. Sir Walter is a widower who is conceited and selfish, and spends lavishly and beyond his means, which has forced the family to retrench by renting out their landed estate and relocating to lower-cost Bath. Anne is wise and kind but, at 26, is past her prime. At 19, Anne fell in love with, and accepted a marriage proposal from, Frederick Wentworth, a promising naval commander who is of a lower social status than Anne. Anne is persuaded by her family (father and older sister) and close friend (Lady Russell) to break off the proposal. The novel starts with the family planning for their relocation to Bath, and the Elliots have coincidentally rented their home to the sister and brother-in-law of Frederick Wentworth, now a naval captain. This provides Captain Wentworth with the opportunity to re-enter Anne’s life and her social circle. Captain Wentworth has achieved much success and wealth from his naval career. While Anne immediately notices and admires Captain Wentworth, he initially remains cold to her and commented that she has aged significantly since he last saw her. The plot takes various twists and turns, with other potential romantic interests for Captain Wentworth and Anne. As Captain Wentworth sees more of Anne, he learns to appreciate and respect her, and ultimately they fall in love again and agree to renew their engagement.

Why are cats so picky about what they eat?
Below is an instruction that describes a task, paired with an input that provides further context. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: Why are cats so picky about what they eat? ### Input: Cats have relatively few taste buds compared to humans (470 or so versus more than 9,000 on the human tongue). Domestic and wild cats share a taste receptor gene mutation that keeps their sweet taste buds from binding to sugary molecules, leaving them with no ability to taste sweetness. Their taste buds instead respond to acids, amino acids like protein, and bitter tastes. Cats also have a distinct temperature preference for their food, preferring food with a temperature around 38 °C (100 °F) which is similar to that of a fresh kill and routinely rejecting food presented cold or refrigerated (which would signal to the cat that the "prey" item is long dead and therefore possibly toxic or decomposing). ### Response:

Why is Sauna or heat therapy good for you?
Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: Why is Sauna or heat therapy good for you? ### Response:
Thanks to our Finnish friends to the north, doctors have been able to collect great data on the effects of regular sauna use in adults. In Finland there are over 2.2 million saunas in a land with less than 6 million people total. Because regular Sauna use is part of their culture, scientists were able to find that going into a sauna at least 5 times a week for a minimum of 12 minutes provided significant improvement in cardiovascular function and overall improvement to health and mood. Although the exact mechanisms are not fully understood it is believed that the body releases spiked amounts of Human Growth Hormones from the bone marrow in your femur along with releasing heat shock proteins that allow the body to remove damaged cells. These factors have shown a reduced risk of certain kinds of cancers, improved sleep, and seems to also have a hand in the slowing of the aging process.

Given this paragraph about Hydrogen Storage, what is the hydrogen boiling point?
Below is an instruction that describes a task, paired with an input that provides further context. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: Given this paragraph about Hydrogen Storage, what is the hydrogen boiling point? ### Input: Several methods exist for storing hydrogen. These include mechanical approaches such as using high pressures and low temperatures, or employing chemical compounds that release H2 upon demand. While large amounts of hydrogen are produced by various industries, it is mostly consumed at the site of production, notably for the synthesis of ammonia. For many years hydrogen has been stored as compressed gas or cryogenic liquid, and transported as such in cylinders, tubes, and cryogenic tanks for use in industry or as propellant in space programs. Interest in using hydrogen for on-board storage of energy in zero-emissions vehicles is motivating the development of new methods of storage, more adapted to this new application. The overarching challenge is the very low boiling point of H2: it boils around 20.268 K (−252.882 °C or −423.188 °F). Achieving such low temperatures requires expending significant energy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen_storage ### Response:

Why is it so hard to predict which teams will make the Men's College Basketball Final Four?
Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: Why is it so hard to predict which teams will make the Men's College Basketball Final Four? ### Response:
Unlike other sports where playoff rounds can be a series of multiple games (such as the NBA, NHL, MLB, etc), the "March Madness" college basketball playoffs features single elimination games for each round, so in a one game playoff, upsets are much more likely than in a 7 game series, where the statistically better team is most like going to win. So, out of the 68 teams that make the tournament, it is hard to predict who will each round.

What is the best time of year to visit Lake Tahoe?
Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: What is the best time of year to visit Lake Tahoe? ### Response:
The best time to visit Lake Tahoe? The answer depends on your interests (or possibly the interests of the person advising you). Snow lovers: if you count down the days until the mountain resorts open up, Winter is the time for you. Most resorts open around Thanksgiving and typically close in mid-late Spring. Tahoe has several world-class ski resorts; with Northstar and Palisades being favorites on the North shore, and Heavenly Mountain being the favorite on the South Shore. If flying down the mountain isn't appealing, you can go sledding, snowshoeing or snowmobiling. The snow capped mountains reflected on the deep blue waters of Tahoe make for epic winter sights. There's plenty of joy to be had staying inside, cozying up by the fireplace and simply enjoying the peaceful scenery outside your windows. Sun Lovers: Tahoe Summers are for you. The Lake: beaches, marinas, restaurants, music and people galore. The lakeside vibe on Tahoe's beaches is casual and fun. Boaters & sailors highly regard Tahoe's famous blue waters. Tahoe is a kayaker's paradise with so many stunning coves to explore. Venture over to Emerald Bay to see where the lake turns from blue to green & visit the historic island in the middle. Hikers and cyclists; when the snow melts, there are countless trails to explore, including long segments of the famous Pacific Rim trail. For those who prefer leisurely strolls, there are some spectacular walking paths right along the lake. Floating down the Truckee River is a must-do for a frolicking day of fun. Campers love Tahoe as well, with many fun campgrounds to visit; some even within a short distance to the bustling streets of Stateline South Shore, where there are casinos, restaurants and music venues. Golfers can rejoice on the world class course along the lake at Edgewood. In the transition months, the scenery is equally beautiful; and the tourist crowds are much smaller. Some people favorite the Spring and Fall in Tahoe, simply for a more secluded, scenic mountain getaway; catching either the tail end of the snow season or the early warmth glimpses of Summer. Tahoe is a year-round destination. The best time to visit truly depends on the type of getaway you're seeking. My recommendation: Try all 4 seasons; you may find that it's impossible to pick a favorite!
How to introduce a new cat to the household if you already have cats?

Confine the new cat to a single room. Make sure the confined cat have access to everything he or she needs, including water, food, bedding, litterbox and toys. Feed your new and existing cats across the closed door, so that the cats can smell each other and associate each other's presence with food and happiness. Use synthetic feline facial pheromone in both the new cat’s room and in the area where the resident cat spends the most time will help to create feelings of familiarity and security within the physical environment. After a while, exchange pieces of bedding between the resident cats and the new cat so that the cats start to recognize each others scents. Slowly allow cats to interact with each other under supervision to ensure the cats build early positive experiences together.

It states that the style "emphasizes precision and alignment", and prioritizes correct movement over quantity, i.e. moving a small amount in the right direction is preferred to moving more but in other directions. Postures are held for a relatively long period of time compared to other schools of yoga; this allows the muscles to relax and lengthen, and encourages awareness in the pose. Props including belts, blocks and blankets are freely used to assist students in correct working in the asanas. ### Response:

What is the difference between AWD and 4WD?
Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: What is the difference between AWD and 4WD? ### Response:
AWD is a system that without driver intervention, shifts power between the rear and front wheels. This system is typically found on light-duty SUVs or passenger cars. The AWD drive system is designed for mild inclement weather conditions such as light snow, ice and rain. It is not designed for off-roading or severe weather conditions such as heavy snow or mud. This is where the 4WD system comes into the picture. 4WD is a system that includes a transfer case that directly applies power to the rear axle, both front and rear axles and in some cases, only to the front axle. In addition, some 4WD systems include lower gear ratio options, locking hubs and lockers in the axles that force an equal amount of power to each wheel. All this taken together enables a 4WD system to enable a vehicle to navigate through deep snow, mud, over rocks and other obstacles with ease. The 4WD system is most commonly found on trucks, Jeeps and other purpose-built vehicles designed for heavy-duty use, whether for work or pleasure.

Why do toddlers throw tantrums?
Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: Why do toddlers throw tantrums? ### Response:
There are many triggers that may cause toddlers to throw a tantrum, such as hunger or exhaustion. But the reason that toddlers often lose control of their emotions and become seemingly inconsolable is that as toddlers develop emotionally, they start to experience new feelings or start to feel things more deeply. When they do not have the communication skills to express these experiences, to manage these experiences, or to ask for help with them, they resort to signaling that they are in distress.
What are the applications of game theory in NBA basketball?
Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: What are the applications of game theory in NBA basketball? ### Response:
Game theory studies the strategic interaction of rationale agents. The National Basketball Association (NBA) is the world's premier basketball league, which includes 30 teams across the United States and Canada. An example of game theory in the NBA is the "modern NBA", in which teams play stretch 4s (Power Forwards) and 5s (Centers) who can dribble, pass and shoot rather than simply rebound and dunk. This becomes the "strictly dominate" strategy as this allows the "modern" NBA team to shoot a higher volume of 3 pointers, which has a higher expected value per shot (40 Field Goal % times 3 = 1.2) than 2 pointers (50 Field Goal % times 2 = 1). The Golden State Warriors championship run in the 2010s with Kevin Durant and Draymond Green is a great example of this coaching and player construction strategy. Now nearly all NBA teams employ this strategy, so it is less effective (A Nash (Not Steve Nash!) Equilibrium).

Say that you take 1 step left, then 2 forward, then 4 right, then 3 right, then 3 forward, then 5 back. Take me through the process of determining how far you end up from your starting position.
Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: Say that you take 1 step left, then 2 forward, then 4 right, then 3 right, then 3 forward, then 5 back. Take me through the process of determining how far you end up from your starting position. ### Response:
First, we find the displacement from the starting position, which we will use to calculate the distance. To do this, collect the steps into groups by direction. Left: we take 1 step left Right: we take 4 + 3 = 7 steps right Forward: we take 2 + 3 = 5 steps forward Back: we take 5 steps back We can subtract step counts in opposite directions to get our final displacement Left/Right: we take 1 step left and 7 right, so we take a total of 1 - 7 = -6 steps left. This is equivalent to 6 steps right. Forward/Back: we take 5 steps forward and 5 steps back, so we take a total of 5 - 5 = 0 steps forward. This means we end up 5 steps to the right and 0 steps forward from where we started, which is a distance of 5 steps.
Who are the Georgia Bulldogs' biggest rival?
Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: Who are the Georgia Bulldogs' biggest rival? ### Response:
Georgia has many traditional geographical rivals. The answer typically depends on who you ask and generally aligns with the age of the Georgia fan. Older fans tend to oppose the Georgia Tech Yellowjackets or Auburn the most as they fondly remember competitive annual matchups in the rivalry games dubbed Clean Old Fashioned Hate or The Deep Souths Oldest Rivalry. GenX and Millennials typically point to the Florida Gators since Florida went on a two decade long run of dominance, going 18-3 in between 1990 and 2010. Tennessee might also garner some votes in this timeframe. Younger fans might point to the multiple National Championship crushing heartbreaks at the hands of Alabama in 2008, 2012, 2015, 2017, and 2018.

Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: I am looking into buying a new monitor, how do I know which one I should buy? ### Response:
It depends a lot on the use case and how much money you want to spend. First decide on a budget. After that you should decide on what size the monitor should have. Then, within that size and budget range take a look at different features such as resolution, color accuracy, refresh rate and connectivity options. A high resolution is good for work and gaming but also requires a good graphics card. Color accuracy is important if you plan to use the monitor for artistic work, such as editing movies and images. Refresh rate is important if you plan to do gaming, especially online. Connectivity options such as power delivery over USB-C is important if you want to simply connect the monitor with a laptop.
