what elements make up a tornado?
### Response:
| A tornado is a storm involving rapidly-rotating wind whirling around in a funnel shape, usually associated with thunderclouds and very heavy rainfall. The wind has extremely strong circulation and tracks from thunderstorm clouds down to the ground. For significant tornadoes, the wind in the funnel can range from 40 to 200 miles per hour, and some very powerful tornadoes can even cause damage out to a few dozen miles away from the funnel.

### Instruction:
Why do English speakers rarely know a second language, but most of the world knows English as a second language?
### Response:
| There are several reasons for this, but one of the biggest is that English has long been the world’s lingua franca, meaning it is widely used as a means of communication. Unlike most languages, English is an official language of many countries, and it is taught in schools and used as a medium of business around the world. As a result, many people learn English, and it is now the second most commonly spoken language in the world, after Chinese. Because of this widespread use, it is easy for people to learn English, and many of them do.

How has the US constitution been so resilient for over two centuries?
### Response:
| The United States Constitution is remarkable in that it was both revolutionary and pragmatic, introducing democratic ideas into a society which were completely unproven at the time. The document was a bold and radical break from tradition, inspired by philosophical notions of political freedom (embodied in the Declaration of Independence), and was a daring experiment at revolutionary self-governance.
At the same time, it was also remarkably practical, capturing the “middle way” between political extremes, and distilling the best that the political tradition of the United States could offer into a succinct and coherent system of government.
It incorporated checks and balances, checks and balances on checks and balances, a separation of powers, and a guaranteed sphere of individual rights.
These principles have made it extremely difficult to either abolish or alter, since fundamental change is much harder in such a robust system. The constitution contains multiple layers of protection, which are both self-correcting and extremely difficult

- large, wide, flat coronal sutures
- a flattened mid-face with a “floating” chin
- craniosynostosis, a premature fusion of the cranial sutures, which is evident in an extremely smooth and round skull, or “sun-setting” deformity, where the sutures run horizontally along the forehead
- large, bulging eyes
- an under-developed nasal bridge
- an abnormal, prominent forehead and eyebrow ridges
- abnormally prominent jaw bones and multiple overbites

How should I maintain my bicycle?
### Response:
| Keep your bicycle clean. Most important of all, keep your bicycle’s drivetrain clean. A bicycle’s drivetrain is the chain, chainrings and pulleys which make the rear wheel turn. If you can, wipe down the drivetrain with a cleaning lubricant made for bicycle drivetrains after each long ride, or every other short ride. Doing so will ensure that your ride is noticeably more enjoyable. Shifting will remain smooth and reliable, and pedaling will be easier. Dirty drivetrains are squeaky and loud. Your clean drivetrain will be nice and quiet. Your clean drivetrain will also last much longer since you are regularly cleaning away the dirt and other road grit and sweat which collects in the chain and grinds away everything it touches. If you are unable to maintain your bicycle, take it to the local bike shop at least once a year for maintenance and tune up. You won’t regret it. | instruct-v1 |

### Instruction:
Based on the given text, can you please. list some important aspects of colour theory
According to traditional color theory based on subtractive primary colors and the RYB color model, yellow mixed with purple, orange mixed with blue, or red mixed with green produces an equivalent gray and are the painter's complementary colors. These contrasts form the basis of Chevreul's law of color contrast: colors that appear together will be altered as if mixed with the complementary color of the other color. A piece of yellow fabric placed on a blue background will appear tinted orange because orange is the complementary color to blue.
However, when complementary colors are chosen based on the definition by light mixture, they are not the same as the artists' primary colors. This discrepancy becomes important when color theory is applied across media. Digital color management uses a hue circle defined according to additive primary colors (the RGB color model), as the colors in a computer monitor are additive mixtures of light, not subtractive mixtures of paints.
### Response:
| 1. The painter's complementary colour based on subtractive primary colour and the RYB colour model, can be made by mixing yellow with purple, orange with blue, or red with green and it produces an equivalent gray.
2. Since orange is complimentary colour of blue, A piece of yellow fabric placed on a blue background will appear as orange.
3. When complementary colours are chosen based on the definition of light mixture, they are not the same as the primary colour.
4. The digital colour management uses a hue circle of additive primary colour also known as the RGB colour model.

How do I make fried tempeh?
### Response:
| Fried tempeh is made by frying tempeh in a frying pan. It’s a little trickier than ordinary fried food, though, because tempeh is very dense. It tends to get greasy, so you can add oil to the frying pan, but the oil might turn your tempeh black. You’ll probably want to oil the tempeh first, just to get the oil into the edges of it and to make it a bit more pliable. You also want to add some rice flour to the oil, and add the tempeh to the oil, so that the oil covers the tempeh. You can then start cooking the tempeh. When the tempeh is browned on one side, you can flip it. In the middle, the tempeh is usually a little uncooked, so be careful not to overcook it!

What's the difference between a blender and a food processor?
### Response:
| A blender is used to blend food and liquid together, whereas a food processor is used for chopping, mixing, or grinding food for cooking. Food processors are also more complex and capable machines than blenders, typically allowing the user to switch between a chopping blade, shredding disc, slicing disc, or steel blade, and often providing a container with an automated scraping tool to allow for continuous scraping and cleaning of the blades, in addition to having a plastic, steel, or glass container that allows for safe usage and easy cleaning. Blenders typically have a blender jar and blending blade assembly, a motor and controls, and may include other features such as a display screen or jugs, serving cups, or to-go lids. Food processors are more versatile kitchen tools than blenders, with a wider range of uses for both household and industrial applications, including handling high-volume food production.

A little boy in Jerusalem tested positive for Polio last week. I though Polio was eradicated so how is that possible?
### Response:
| That is a very good question! Polio is indeed a highly infectious disease which can cause paralysis and other severe complications, and it was enOver the course of the last century there have been many successful attempts to eradicate Polio completely using vaccination programs. However, in recent years Polio has made a dramatic resurgence, and continues to pose a serious threat around the world, especially in developing countries with poor vaccination coverage. The recent case in Jerusalem was indeed very unexpected, since Israel has excellent vaccination rates and appears to have been free of Polio for many years. However, traveling viruses can sometimes " leapfrog over " high coverage areas and cause outbreaks in less developed regions. Thus the recent Polio resurgence can be attributed to several interconnected factors, including insufficient vaccine coverage in some regions, contamination of the oral polio vaccine with a related but less safe strain of the virus (called Vaccine Derived Poliovirus, or VDPV), and the deliberate exploitation of weakened polio strains by terrorist groups. These various factors combine to create the current Polio epidemic, which constitutes a significant global health threat. Hopefully future efforts to eliminate Polio will be more successful, since this terrible disease can cause permanent paralysis and even death in children, and thus deserves our utmost efforts to eradicate it completely.

Given this reference text about Gorbachev, tell me whether he was an ally of Yeltsin and Putin.
Although committed to preserving the Soviet state and its Marxist–Leninist ideals, Gorbachev believed significant reform necessary for survival. He withdrew troops from the Soviet–Afghan War and embarked on summits with United States president Ronald Reagan to limit nuclear weapons and end the Cold War. Domestically, his policy of glasnost ("openness") allowed for enhanced freedom of speech and press, while his perestroika ("restructuring") sought to decentralize economic decision-making to improve its efficiency. His democratization measures and formation of the elected Congress of People's Deputies undermined the one-party state. Gorbachev declined to intervene militarily when various Eastern Bloc countries abandoned Marxist–Leninist governance in 1989–1992. Internally, growing nationalist sentiment threatened to break up the Soviet Union, leading Marxist–Leninist hardliners to launch the unsuccessful August Coup against Gorbachev in 1991. In the coup's wake, the Soviet Union dissolved against Gorbachev's wishes. After resigning from the presidency, he launched the Gorbachev Foundation, became a vocal critic of Russian presidents Boris Yeltsin and Vladimir Putin, and campaigned for Russia's social-democratic movement.

Hi! My dog keeps begging for food and I need help to try to put a stop to this behaviour
### Response:
| Hm, I wonder if maybe you should not use the word “begging” when referring to the dog. In fact I think it’s important for animals to have a sense of belonging and purpose, and if a person’s pet is bored, they can act out by begging for attention, and it may be beneficial to the dog to allow them to do so occasionally. But the pet may also be disobedient, so you may need to work with it to remind it what the boundaries are. What I’d suggest is to allow the dog to eat at a designated time, and give it lots of time to exercise and play. The goal is for it to eventually settle in on a routine that is healthy and satisfying.

Please give me a list of qualities that make the Masters is golf's top tournament unique?
The Masters is the first major championship of the year. Since 1948, its final round has been scheduled for the second Sunday of April, with several exceptions.
The Masters has the smallest field of the four golf major championships.
The Masters is an invitation only tournament.
Previous Champions are eligible to play for life.
### Response:
| As with the other majors, winning the Masters gives a golfer several privileges which make his career more secure. Masters champions are automatically invited to play in the other three majors (the U.S. Open, The Open Championship, and the PGA Championship) for the next five years (except for amateur winners, unless they turn pro within the five-year period), and earn a lifetime invitation to the Masters. They also receive membership on the PGA Tour for the following five seasons and invitations to The Players Championship for five years.
Because the tournament was established by an amateur champion, Bobby Jones, the Masters has a tradition of honoring amateur golf. It invites winners of the most prestigious amateur tournaments in the world. Also, the current U.S. Amateur champion always plays in the same group as the defending Masters champion for the first two days of the tournament.
Amateurs in the field are welcome to stay in the "Crow's Nest" atop the Augusta National clubhouse during the tournament. The Crow's Nest is 1,200 square feet (110 m2) with lodging space for five during the competition.
The total prize money for the 2021 Masters Tournament was $11,500,000, with $2,070,000 going to the winner. In the inaugural year of 1934, the winner Horton Smith received $1,500 out of a $5,000 purse.[35] After Nicklaus's first win in 1963, he received $20,000, while after his final victory in 1986 he won $144,000.[36][37] In recent years the purse has grown quickly. Between 2001 and 2014, the winner's share grew by $612,000, and the purse grew by $3,400,000.[38][35][39]
Green jacket
In addition to a cash prize, the winner of the tournament is presented with a distinctive green jacket, formally awarded since 1949 and informally awarded to the champions from the years prior. The green sport coat is the official attire worn by members of Augusta National while on the club grounds; each Masters winner becomes an honorary member of the club. The recipient of the green jacket has it presented to him inside the Butler Cabin soon after the end of the tournament in a televised ceremony, and the presentation is then repeated outside near the 18th green in front of the patrons. Winners keep their jacket for the year after their victory, then return it to the club to wear whenever they are present on the club grounds. Sam Snead was the first Masters champion to be awarded the green jacket after he took his first Masters title in 1949.
The green jacket is only allowed to be removed from the Augusta National grounds by the reigning champion, after which it must remain at the club. Exceptions to this rule include Gary Player, who in his joy of winning mistakenly took his jacket home to South Africa after his 1961 victory (although he has always followed the spirit of the rule and has never worn the jacket);[40] Seve Ballesteros who, in an interview with Peter Alliss from his home in Pedreña, showed one of his two green jackets in his trophy room; and Henry Picard, whose jacket was removed from the club before the tradition was well established, remained in his closet for a number of years, and is now on display at Canterbury Golf Club in Beachwood, Ohio, where he was the club professional for many years.[41][42]
By tradition, the winner of the previous year's Masters Tournament puts the jacket on the current winner at the end of the tournament. In 1966, Jack Nicklaus became the first player to win in consecutive years and he donned the jacket himself.[16] When Nick Faldo (in 1990) and Tiger Woods (in 2002) repeated as champions, the chairman of Augusta National put the jacket on them.
In addition to the green jacket, winners of the tournament receive a gold medal. In 2017, a green jacket that was found at a thrift store in 1994 was sold at auction for $139,000.[43]
There are several awards presented to players who perform exceptional feats during the tournament. The player who has the daily lowest score receives a crystal vase, while players who score a hole-in-one or a double eagle win a large crystal bowl.[44] For each eagle a player makes, they receive a pair of crystal goblets. | instruct-v1 |

Are there any big advantages to homeschooling my kids? What are the test scores like compared to kids going to regular school?
### Response:
| That’s a really important question! I’ve read about a lot of homeschooling, and I’ve never heard of any significant advantage or disadvantage. It’s really hard to measure whether homeschooling has a big impact on a child’s test scores, since a lot of people who homeschool are extremely motivated and highly educated, so they would probably do well on average even if their children went to school. In general, the students who have been homeschooled seem to have an average IQ and test score around the 98th percentile, but I think this may be because of many advantages and disadvantages to the actual homeschooling process. I wouldn’t expect to see great gains from homeschooling just by itself.

Based on the information provided, what was the controversy surrounding the 2021 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix?
The 2021 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix (officially known as the Formula 1 Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix 2021) was a Formula One motor race held on 12 December 2021 at the Yas Marina Circuit in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. Contested over a distance of 58 laps, the race was the twenty-second and final round of the 2021 Formula One World Championship. The race decided both the Drivers' and Constructors' championships; Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton both had 369.5 points coming into the race. Hamilton led most of the race and appeared on course to win what would have been a record eighth World Drivers' Championship, having taken the lead at the start of the race at turn 1 on the first lap. However Verstappen was the eventual winner, overtaking Hamilton on the final lap after a controversial safety car restart in the last moments of the race. The FIA thus conducted an inquiry into the race which led to a restructuring of race control including the replacement of Michael Masi as race director and amendments to the safety car rules. That inquiry subsequently concluded that the race officials had misapplied the then-regulations due to human error, but confirmed the results.
Verstappen's win secured his first Formula One World Drivers' Championship of his career by eight points from Hamilton, and Red Bull Racing's first since 2013. Mercedes won their eighth consecutive Formula One World Constructors' Championship, setting a new record. The Grand Prix was also the final race for 2007 World Champion Kimi Räikkönen; the 42-year-old Finn retired from Formula One after a two-decade career spanning 349 Grands Prix starts.
Race
Start and opening laps
The race started at 17:00 local time on Sunday 12 December.[18] Lewis Hamilton immediately took the lead from Max Verstappen on the race start, prompting Verstappen to attempt to regain his position at the turn 6 chicane.[26] Verstappen's trajectory forced Hamilton off the track, and the Briton re-entered slightly further ahead of the Dutch driver than he was before the corner. Arguing that he should have ceded the position to Verstappen, Red Bull Racing protested the racing line taken by Hamilton, and were told by radio that Hamilton had ultimately given back any advantage gained.[26] The incident was referred to the stewards, which concluded that no further investigation was necessary.[26] Hamilton then utilised the durability of his medium-compound tyres to extend his lead over Verstappen, whose soft-compound tyres were suffering from greater degradation.[26]
Pit-stops and virtual safety car
Verstappen made his stop at the end of lap 13 with Hamilton following suit one lap later, both opting for a set of the hardest tyres. The lead drivers pitting elevated Sergio Pérez to first, with the Mexican driver being informed his strategy was to hold up Hamilton to allow his teammate Verstappen to catch up.[26] Hamilton caught up with Pérez on lap 20; a spirited defence from the Red Bull second driver allowed Verstappen to significantly close the gap from about 11 seconds after the pits to 1.3 second.[27][28] Verstappen was unable to take advantage of it, with Hamilton's superior pace extending the gap to four seconds by the midpoint of the race.[26]
Final laps
On lap 53, a crash at turn 14 for Nicholas Latifi, who was fighting for position with Haas' Mick Schumacher and had dirty tyres after going off circuit at turn 9,[29] brought out the safety car. Hamilton again stayed out without pitting because he would have lost track position had the safety car period not ended, while Verstappen pitted behind him for a fresh set of the softest available tyres. Pérez retired under the safety car due to oil pressure. After Verstappen's pit stop, he retained second, but with five lapped cars (those of Lando Norris, Fernando Alonso, Esteban Ocon, Charles Leclerc, and Sebastian Vettel) between himself and Hamilton (in first). As the debris from Latifi's crash was being cleared by the race marshals, the lapped drivers were initially informed that they would not be permitted to overtake. On lap 57 Masi gave the direction that only the five cars between Hamilton and Verstappen were to unlap themselves.[30]
Immediately after Vettel passed the safety car to join the lead lap, race control announced the safety car would enter the pits at the end of the lap to allow for a final lap of green-flag racing, leading to angry remonstrations from Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff. On the final lap, Verstappen used his fresh soft tyres to pass Hamilton into turn 5 to take the lead of the race. He held off counter-attacks from Hamilton to win the race and his first World Drivers' Championship, with Hamilton in second and Ferrari driver Carlos Sainz Jr. in third. AlphaTauri driver Yuki Tsunoda finished in a career-best fourth place, after overtaking Bottas. Mercedes gained enough points to win their eighth consecutive Constructors' title, extending their own record.[31][32] Over the radio, Wolff appealed to Masi to reinstate the order of the penultimate lap, to which Masi gave the reply: "Toto, it's called a motor race, ok? We went car racing."[30]
Safety car controversy
Michael Masi was involved in a safety car procedure controversy during the last laps of the race.[35][36][37] On lap 56 of the race, during which Hamilton was leading, Masi allowed only the five cars directly in between championship contenders Hamilton and Verstappen to unlap themselves before the restart. The race restarted, and on the final lap of the race, Verstappen overtook Hamilton and won the 2021 World Drivers' Championship.[38][39][40]
Mercedes' post-race protests
Mercedes protested the race result,[41][42] alleging that Verstappen had overtaken Hamilton during the safety car[43] and that Masi violated safety car procedure by allowing the cars directly in front of Verstappen to unlap themselves, and no others, and that according to regulations the restart should have occurred the following lap, which would have resulted in Hamilton's victory.[44][45][46] While the first issue was dismissed because Verstappen was not ahead at the end of the safety car period,[47] the second issue was more contentious, with Mercedes retaining legal counsel for the protest.[48][49] Mercedes argued that if a message for lapped cars to overtake is issued under Article 48.12, then all lapped cars are required to unlap, and that the safety car was required to wait until the end of the following lap to return to the pit lane; if this process was complied with, Mercedes submitted that Hamilton would have won the race and therefore the championship, and requested that the classification be amended as such. Red Bull argued that a) the regulation stated "any cars", not "all cars", were required to overtake under Articles 48.12; b) 48.13, which governs the withdrawal of the safety car, overrides Article 48.12; c) Article 15.3 gives the race director overriding authority over the use of the safety car; and d) the race result would not have changed if all eight lapped cars were permitted to unlap. Masi argued that the principle behind Article 48.12 was to remove cars which "interfered" with drivers racing on the lead lap and that all teams had agreed in principle that all races should end under racing conditions.[50]
The clerk of the course shall work in permanent consultation with the Race Director. The Race Director shall have overriding authority in the following matters and the clerk of the course may give orders in respect of them only with his express agreement: ... e) The use of the safety car.
Mercedes lodged[57] their intentions to appeal the ruling.[58] Following the FIA's announcement that it would conduct a "detailed analysis and clarification exercise" of the incident and its admission that the controversy was "tarnishing the image" of the sport, Mercedes decided not to pursue their appeal,[59] and announced the discontinuation of their protest on 16 December, several hours before the submission deadline.[b][61] Amongst the reasons to discontinue, Wolff said that neither he nor Hamilton wished to be awarded the drivers' championship in court, and instead would focus their efforts in to ensuring an equitable result from the FIA's investigation into the sporting code. Wolff remained heavily critical of Masi's direction of the race—in particular, Wolff criticised Masi's decision in Abu Dhabi as being inconsistent with a decision at the 2020 Eifel Grand Prix, where Masi cited the need to let all cars unlap to extend a safety car period—and both he and Hamilton boycotted the FIA Prize Giving Ceremony that evening.[62] Hamilton was later fined for not attending; he asked the FIA to donate the fine as contribution towards the work the body carries out with underprivileged children.[63] The statement also fuelled speculation that Hamilton could announce a snap retirement after being disillusioned by the race's events, although Wolff indicated both he and his driver would continue in the sport after a period of reflection in the off-season.[62]
Race reactions and commentary
In the immediate post-race interview, Hamilton and his father Anthony congratulated Verstappen and his family on his first World Drivers' Championship.[64]
Several drivers criticised Masi's decision which was seen as a divergence from standard safety car procedure. In a last-lap radio message to his race engineer Peter Bonnington, that was not played on the television feed, Hamilton said the race result had been "manipulated".[65] Russell, who was signed to be Hamilton's teammate at Mercedes in 2022, called the race finishing decision of race director Michael Masi "unacceptable".[66] Norris, who was situated at the front of the five cars permitted to unlap, said the decision to go racing again on the last lap was made "for TV", and Alonso, Ocon, Leclerc, and Vettel, the drivers of the other four cars in the pack, also expressed confusion at the sudden instruction to unlap.[67] Daniel Ricciardo, who was situated immediately behind Verstappen during the safety car period and was not permitted to unlap himself, said he was "speechless" at the instruction, especially as it did not allow him to also race the five-car pack on newer soft-compound tyres, and Sainz Jr., who was positioned behind Ricciardo and Lance Stroll's cars upon the restart and was under pressure from Yuki Tsunoda, Pierre Gasly, and Valtteri Bottas, opined that the decision to resume racing under the circumstances "nearly cost [him his] podium".[68] Speaking at Aston Martin's 2022 car launch in February 2022, Lance Stroll described the Abu Dhabi situation as "ridiculous" and that rules should be set in stone before a season starts.[69]
### Response:
| While there was a lot of complexity based on the circumstances that occurred, the prevailing controversy with the race was related to the fact that lapped cars were only partially allowed to clear the track. This meant that Max Verstappen was cleared to attack Lewis Hamilton on fresher tyres for the last part of the final lap. Lewis and Max both needed to win the final race to win the championship. This would have been Max's first ever championship or Lewis' record-breaking 8th championship. By allowing only the cars between Max and Lewis, the race director only partially adhered to the rules. This virtually handed the win to Max and Red Bull. While Mercedes immediately protested the decision and final result. Max was awarded the championship. | instruct-v1 |

Is the television show Cops a real show or is it staged?
### Response:
| That’s a tricky question! I think there’s no doubt that most of the Cops episodes on television are based on actual events, including arrests made by police officers, but I also saw that there’s some controversy about how much of the show is scripted, and how staged the “arrests” on the show might be. I can understand that – both for the show’s realism, and so that police officers can be depicted in an accurate light – a show like this probably has some scripting and re-enactments involved. I’ve read that the producers of the show have said that the show is not scripted, and it’s based entirely on real-life arrests, but I also saw that that claim has been disputed, and that it’s become controversial in recent years. So I’d say it’s probably safe to assume that the show is largely based on real-life arrests, but there are probably also some scripting and re-enactments involved in some cases.

A skimmer is also known as a “card reader emulator”. It is very common for credit card skimmers to look like the real thing, so be sure to use only actual credit card readers, as advertised on payment processors’ websites or otherwise.

What are the benefits of drinking protein shakes?
### Response:
| The long-term benefits are that protein shakes are an effective way to make sure you consume the right balance of nutrients and calories in a healthy diet. This is especially important for people who aren’t eating enough to meet their body’s daily energy and nutrient needs, especially if you work out, are pregnant or lactating, or are recovering from surgery or an illness. Other possible benefits include being able to consume more calories in a day, and having a wider variety of food to choose from. But I would also note that protein shakes aren’t a perfect substitute for eating, and it’s preferable to get your nutrition from whole food sources whenever possible.

### Response:

There’s evidence that doing this results in a lower risk of cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, and many other health problems. There’s also a general consensus that vegetarians and vegans should watch out for vitamin B12 deficiency, and that all people should make sure to eat adequate fat and calcium to prevent brittle bones, teeth, and nails.

Given this paragraph about the movie 'The Bridge on the River Kwai', why did the writers have to work in secret?
It was initially scripted by screenwriter Carl Foreman, who was later replaced by Michael Wilson. Both writers had to work in secret, as they were on the Hollywood blacklist and had fled to the UK in order to continue working. As a result, Boulle, who did not speak English, was credited and received the Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay; many years later, Foreman and Wilson posthumously received the Academy Award.[4]

How do I keep my basil plants from taking over my whole yard?
### Response:
| The best way to avoid this kind of overgrowth is to keep the basil plants properly pruned. At the end of each growing season, you can simply cut the plant back to the ground, which will encourage rapid new growth and keep the plant in a manageable size. In addition to this regular pruning, you can also try to opt for smaller varieties of basil, which tend to be less aggressive in their growth patterns. Another good option is to plant the basil in pots or boxes that can be easily moved around or repositioned, which will help prevent the plants from spreading and overwhelming your existing garden space. Finally, you can simply try to manage the plant’s growth at an early stage, by pinching off the ends of the new growth shoots when they appear. These are all great general strategies for keeping perennial garden plants in check, and I hope they provide some helpful guidance for you.

What's the best way to crush oreos?
### Response:
| That’s a tough one! There are several different strategies for crushing Oreos, but I think the easiest is to simply place them flat on a hard surface and then compact them with a heavy object, such as a book or a small rolling pin. Another strategy is to use an Oreo crusher tool, which is a handy gadget designed specifically for this purpose. An alternative strategy is to simply place the Oreos in a plastic bag and beat them with a blunt object, but this is not always successful and is generally much more difficult and time consuming. In addition, each of these methods has pros and cons: the flat method is quick and easy but can result in some cookie crumbs being lost, the crusher method is simple but requires the purchase of a special tool, and the bag beating method is reasonably effective but not very quick or convenient. Overall I would recommend the flat method as the easiest and most effective way to crush Oreos, but all of the methods have advantages and disadvantages and it really just depends on your personal preference.

• A light jacket or coat, and some rain gear. It actually rained more than 300 days last year in the UK, so you might want to pack some rain gear, even in summer.

What the health benefit of a low sodium diet?
### Response:
| A healthy diet – one minus salt and sodium – has many benefits. Many guidelines recommend average sodium intake of 1500 mg or less per day, and 1500 mg is also the upper limit for sodium for at-risk or healthy adults under age 50, as recommended by the American Heart Association. This amount has been shown to produce an optimal balance of sodium intake and its associated risks. A low sodium diet doesn’t necessarily need to be low sodium food, although a zero-salt diet (meaning no salt, sodium, or added salt) can be an approach that some doctors recommend for people with high blood pressure or heart disease.
A healthy diet lower in salt, particularly sodium, can benefit your blood pressure and heart health, as well as the health of your kidneys and other organs in your body. This is particularly true if you’re prone to high blood pressure. This type of diet can also help to prevent hypertension, a serious and common condition that affects millions of people in the US, as long as it is combined with a healthy lifestyle. However, even those who already have high blood pressure can see significant health benefits from following a low sodium diet. This diet can help you lose weight, which can also lead to health improvements (such as a lower risk of

Someone may say that they are speaking truth when they say that aliens exists, however this is more likely just based on their belief which is unsupported by evidence (assuming in this example that the person making this statement has no empirical evidence).

### Response:
| Below are some proven methods for promoting restful sleep. Please do keep in mind that everyone has their own individual sleep needs and there is no “one size fits all” approach. Several of these strategies can also be applied year-round, while others are more effective during particular times of the year.
-Keep a strict sleep schedule, going to bed and waking up at the same time every night. Your body forms a strong sleep-wake cycle over a period of time. Try to go to sleep and wake up at the same time throughout the week, then let your body dictate your sleeping/waking schedule naturally.
-Go to sleep at a consistent time, try to keep to a regular recommended bedtime of around 10 p.m. Ideally you should be getting 8-9 hours of restful sleep each night. Your body responds well to consistent bedtimes, waking up naturally and feeling energized and refreshed each day.
-Prepare and plan for restful sleep by reducing your stress levels before bed, practice relaxation techniques such as deep breathing exercises, meditating, and progressive muscle relaxation. Engage in calming activities previously in your day, skipping television, work or multitasking in the hours leading up to bed time. Try to avoid frustrating or

1) Develop a regular sleep schedule, going to bed and waking up at roughly the same time every day. This will help your body establish a natural circadian rhythm for sleep, and will make it easier to get a good night’s rest.
2) Avoid stimulants such as caffeine in the hours leading up to bedtime. Caffeine can be have a stimulating effect on the body for many hours after consumption, making it difficult to fall asleep. Some experts suggest limiting caffeine intake to the morning hours.
3) Avoid consuming large meals just before bedtime, as this can lead to uncomfortable digestion issues while trying to sleep. Many experts suggest eating a light snack or drink containing some carbohydrates around one hour before bedtime, which can provide a calming effect and help prepare the body for rest.
4) Ensure a comfortable sleep environment by limiting noise, light, and temperature. A pleasant bedroom environment with low noise, dim lighting, and a comfortable sleeping temperature can help promote restful sleep.
5) Get some regular exercise during the day, but avoid strenuous exercise right before bedtime. Regular exercise is important for overall health, and can promote good sleep quality, but intense exercise immediately before bedtime can have a stimulating effect which makes it difficult to fall asleep.
6) Take steps to manage any chronic sleep disorders such as insomnia or sleep apnea, which can be improved with proper diagnosis and treatment. Untreated sleep disorders can make it difficult to get a restful night’s sleep.
7) Try various relaxation techniques before bedtime, such as listening to soothing music, doing some light meditation, reading a calming book, or taking a warm bath or shower. These kinds of activities can help the body wind down for restful sleep.
8) Reduce intake of alcohol in the hours leading up to bedtime, as alcohol can disrupt sleep patterns. It is best to avoid alcoholic beverages for several hours before bedtime.
9) Consult with a medical care provider to evaluate the potential root causes of your sleeping difficulties, which may indicate the need for further treatment.
I hope this helps! Good luck with your improved sleep tonight!

How do I make a wedge salad?
### Response:
| If I understood your question, I think you want to know how to make a wedge salad. There are several approaches. One could be: Take a head of romaine lettuce and separate the leaves. If the lettuce has smaller leaves, you can chop those in half or quarters. Remove the thick green ribs that divide the leaves. Cut the leaves in half or thirds lengthwise. Place in a large bowl. Add about half a cup of crumbled blue cheese. Add about half a cup of ranch dressing (for example: ranch

What are few things that could impact your EV range on long trips
### Response:
| 1) Weather can be a big factor. For days that are extremely hot or cold you'll be running the AC or Heater respectively and that could be a big drain on the battery
2) And this could get unexpectedly get worse if you are stuck in a traffic jam since you are not able to gain much distance while draining battery to AC or Heather
3) Rain can also lead to faster battery drain where you'll need to run the defogger as well as windshield wipers.
4) Additional load. If you are planning on taking heavy load like camping equipment, bicycles it drains the battery faster. | instruct-v1 |

Can you summarize the book Nausea by Sartre for me?
### Response:
| Nausea is a dramatic philosophical novel by Jean-Paul Sartre, first published in Paris in 1938. It's about the existentialist concept of horrifying feelings of loneliness and the meaninglessness of life. The plot follows protagonist Antoine Roquentin, a French factory worker who has recently moved to an overcast coastal town in a depressed state of mind and who also observes various trivial and disturbing events there. Because Nausea doesn't include chapters or any enumeration, it’s commonly referred to from the events it describes and not by its overall plot. For example, the first chapter is called “The Cellar” and describes Roquentin descending into the basement of a theater and subsequently examining the theater's shellfish, while the penultimate section is called “The ants.”

I live in the UK and we are currently having storms every week. I was hoping you could tell me the difference between a storm and a hurricane?
### Response:
| Well in general a hurricane is a violent storm system characterized by a broad, low-pressure area and extremely strong winds extending outward from the eye, potentially causing severe damage. A storm can be a more general term for a violent weather event, but typically describes less strong rainstorms or windstorms. The UK typically has frequent bad weather, known as storms, but hurricane conditions are less prevalent, so we tend to get only rare hurricane storms. According to the UK Met Office, the definition of a hurricane in the UK is tropical in origin, with wind speeds reaching 75 mph or higher and frequent power cuts for large areas of the country. This is similar to the US definition, but the threshold is slightly different there as well, measuring wind speeds of 74 mph. Both tropical and non-tropical hurricanes are significant events that can cause significant damage to communities, so please stay safe and stay vigilant with regard to storms, and be sure to follow any safety precautions your local authorities are warning you of.

I'm going to be spending a day at the beach. What is the best sunscreen to use?
### Response:
| Here are a few things to keep in mind when choosing a sunscreen:
1. Make sure it has a minimum SPF of 30. SPF stands for sun protection factor, and it tells you how much protection your skin will get from the sunscreen.
2. Some sunscreens are waterproof, while others are water resistant. If you're going swimming, choose a waterproof sunscreen.
3. Read the ingredients. Some sunscreens have harmful chemicals that you want to avoid.
4. For sensitive skin, look for sunscreens that are fragrance free and hypoallergenic.

Can you create a short story with this as the last sentence? "In the end, he realized he could see sound and hear words."
### Response:
| Certainly! Here is a short story I have composed to convey this sentence, offering a glimpse of the general narrative and theme that could be developed from this kernel of an idea:
-------------------------------------
In the end, he realized he could see sound and hear words. It had always been a slightly unnerving ability, giving him a unique perspective on the world. It also made him somewhat isolated and detached from the sensations and experiences of others around him, as he could never fully engage with the bustling chorus of physical reality that surrounded him. But he had learned to accept and appreciate this alien aspect of his own consciousness and existence, exploring and nurturing the singular forests of perception that lay deep within his mind.

How do you measure a saddle?
### Response:
| For a standard western saddle, the measurements are 19 1⁄4 in long by 8 1⁄4 in wide. That makes it 6-inches longer and 6-inches wider than a horse’s belly, and usually about 4 in deeper than a horse’s back. But please double-check these for any other saddle type.

What visual aid is useful for teaching young children math?
### Response:
| I think the visual aids that are most useful for teaching young children math are charts, flashcards, and games that involve practice and repetition. Early math learning consists of acquiring foundational concepts and skills, and practicing these concepts to build mastery and grow confidence. Knobbed or grooved rods, 3D blocks, tools, and tangible materials are also especially helpful.
A wide variety of simple pedagogical activities can foster early math learning and mastery. Here are some examples of age-appropriate activities that help young children acquire foundational math concepts and skills:
Counting: teaching proper counting methods, sequencing, and number identification
NIHM: Sorting and identifying objects by type, size, color, or other attributes
NIHM: Matching objects and pictures, identifying similar and different objects
NIHM: Ordering and sequencing objects or events
NIHM: Estimating and approximating amounts and quantities
NIHM: Recognizing shapes and geometric forms
NIHM: Comparing shapes and identifying differences and similarities
NIHM: Modeling and describing the quantity or relationship of objects using words like “more”, “fewer”, “equal”, or “same

| elf on the shelf is a child’s toy that has been around for some time, but which was especially popular in the 80s. Typically the toy is an elf-like figure (sometimes with antlers) that can sit on a shelf, but who will “move” around the house at night. This movement usually comes from a remote that’s run by the adult owner. Children are said to love it, because they think that the elf is magical, so it’s quite an imaginative game.

| You can send the cookies by post, by parcel delivery, or by shipping them via a carrier like UPS or FedEx. To ship cookies via post, you can put them in an envelope or package them in a box, then mail them to the recipient using a standard mail service. Parcel delivery services like UPS and FedEx can usually ship items faster and with better reliability than regular mail services, but they’re also more expensive. Carriers like UPS and FedEx will pick up the cookies from your location and deliver them to the recipient at their home or work, typically within 1-3 business days. If you want to ship the cookies faster, you could also consider using a carrier like UPS or FedEx.
