What is Audemars Piguet Royal Oak ?
### Response:
| Audemars Piguet Royal Oak is a luxury watch. This watch was invented in 1971 by Gérald Genta and presented at the Bâle exhibition. It is the first steel watch at the price of a gold watch. It is recognizable to its specific octagonal shape and its handmade dial representing a « petite tapisserie ». It is also one of the first watches with a bracelet integrated into the case. This first Royal Oak had 2 hands (hours, minutes) and the date. It is also called Jumbo because of its imposing size for the time: 39mm in diameter. This watch is an icon for all collectors. It is now available in several versions (size, complications, thickness). |

Does laser hair removal get rid of hair for good?
### Response:
| I don’t know, but I’ve been told it’s not like burning the hair off with a curling iron. You’re not permanently damaging the hair, just stopping the follicles from producing any more hair. I’ve also been told it doesn’t really affect the hair that’s already grown, but I don’t have personal experience of that.

How do you treat crabs?
### Response:
| I think crabs would be easiest to look after if you get a bigger tank. If you don’t have the space for one, or if you can only afford to buy a few, you should probably get a smaller tank and gradually build up the number of crabs. Even with more space, the bigger tank should provide more choices of food, so crabs should stay healthier.

What is observer bias
Observer bias is one of the types of detection bias and is defined as any kind of systematic divergence from accurate facts during observation and the recording of data and information in studies.[1] The definition can be further expanded upon to include the systematic difference between what is observed due to variation in observers, and what the true value is.[2]
Observer bias is the tendency of observers to not see what is there, but instead to see what they expect or want to see. This is a common occurrence in the everyday lives of many and is a significant problem that is sometimes encountered in scientific research and studies.[3] Observation is critical to scientific research and activity, and as such, observer bias may be as well.[4] When such biases exist, scientific studies can result in an over- or underestimation of what is true and accurate, which compromises the validity of the findings and results of the study, even if all other designs and procedures in the study were appropriate.[5]
Observational data forms the foundation of a significant body of knowledge. Observation is a method of data collection and falls into the category of qualitative research techniques. There are a number of benefits of observation, including its simplicity as a data collection method and its usefulness for hypotheses. Simultaneously, there are many limitations and disadvantages in the observation process, including the potential lack of reliability, poor validity, and faulty perception. Participants’ observations are widely used in sociological and anthropological studies, while systematic observation is used where researchers need to collect data without participants direct interactions. The most common observation method is naturalistic observation, where subjects are observed in their natural environments with the goal to assess the behaviour in an intervention free and natural setting.
Observer bias is especially probable when the investigator or researcher has vested interests in the outcome of the research or has strong preconceptions. Coupled with ambiguous underlying data and a subjective scoring method, these three factors contribute heavily to the incidence of observer bias.[6]
Examples of cognitive biases include:
Anchoring – a cognitive bias that causes humans to place too much reliance on the initial pieces of information they are provided with for a topic. This causes a skew in judgement and prevents humans and observers from updating their plans and predictions as appropriate.
Bandwagon effect – the tendency for people to “jump on the bandwagon” with certain behaviours and attitudes, meaning that they adopt particular ways of doings things based on what others are doing.
Bias blind spot – the tendency for people to recognize the impact of bias on others and their judgements, while simultaneously failing to acknowledge and recognize the impact that their own biases have on their own judgement.
Confirmation bias – the tendency for people to look for, interpret, and recall information in such a way that their preconceived beliefs and values are affirmed.
Guilt and innocence by association bias – the tendency for people to hold an assumption that individuals within a group share similar characteristics and behaviours, including those that would hail them as innocent or guilty.
Halo effect – the tendency for the positive impressions and beliefs in one area around a person, brand, company, product or the like to influence an observers opinions or feelings in other unrelated areas.
Framing effect – the tendency for people to form conclusions and opinions based on whether the pertinent relevant is provided to them with positive or negative connotations.
Recency effect – the tendency for more recent pieces of information, ideas, or arguments to be remembered more clearly than those that preceded.

### Instruction:
Do pharmaceutical companies really have a financial incentive to keep people sick, or is that just cynicism
### Response:
| That is a common perception, and they definitely have a financial incentive to keep people taking medicines. But I’d say the distinction is not so much between having a financial incentive to keep someone healthy or unhealthy, as about keeping people sick or healthy. I think pharmaceutical companies definitely have a financial incentive to keep people taking medicines, since it creates a steady flow of income from customers to the company. But they also have a financial incentive to keep customers healthy. There is evidence that the companies do know about ways to prevent some diseases, for example for hypertension.

### Instruction:
How do you silence a gun?
### Response:
| Ah that’s an interesting question! Generally speaking, guns are silenced by installing a metal sound suppressor, or “silencer”, onto the end of the barrel of the gun which suppresses the escaping sound by reflecting and dissipating the high velocity gas exiting the gun. However, there are also certain types of guns which have internal mechanisms designed to further reduce the sound produced by the gun. Additionally, guns can be silenced by use of various types of ammunition which have interior suppressors built into the shell of each individual bullet, or by various other means such as a muffler on the end of the barrel. In the professional world of weapons, a fully silenced gun is referred to as a “cloaked” weapon. In combat situations, it is important to always carefully evaluate all available options for firearm silencers, as the use of a noisy gun can reveal the user’s position, which can be very detrimental in combat situations. In peaceful civilian situations, it is less important to silence a gun, but the use of firearms in urban areas will normally require adherence to local noise regulations. It is also important to maintain and clean firearms regularly to ensure proper function and avoid malfunction due to corrosion or other damage to the

### Instruction:
I'm sitting at a restaurant and this girl is staring at me. Why do you think this is?
### Response:
| Well the most likely explanation is that she is interested in you romantically, and is interested in pursuing a romantic relationship with you. But there are also some less likely possibilities, such as that she might be studying you, or that she might be thinking about how to rob you (you'd need to pay attention to whether she's lingering after you leave, or if she's otherwise displaying other suspicious behavior).

### Instruction:
Can you explain the concept of electrical induction?
### Response:
| Sure, induction is a basic property of electric circuits whereby the application of electrical energy to a conductor creates an induced electrical current in another nearby conductor. This phenomenon arises naturally from the concepts of electric charge and magnetic fields, whereby electric charges tend to experience a force when placed in a changing magnetic field. Thus, when a changing electrical current is applied to one conductor in a circuit, this generates a changing magnetic field around the conductor, which in turn induces an electrical current in another nearby conductor. This phenomenon is fundamental to the operation of many electrical devices and technologies, including generators, transformers, and motors.

What are cute hair accessories for little girls?
### Response:
| Ah, well it sounds like you’re not really asking me to solve a particular problem. You’re just looking for some ideas to consider. So let me see if I can help with that. There are several different choices of “accessories” for little girls, and they’re often worn to match what they’re already wearing, or to enhance their own hair.
Hair accessories are a big category of items, and you might be wondering if there’s some kind of general classification system that could help you. Here’s a short, informal list of some accessories:
Buns, braids, and pigtails
Hair bows
Hair bands and hair ties
Headbands
Jewelry, and barrettes
The first part of this list might be what you’re thinking of as “hair accessories”. Many of these are hairstyles, but there are also things you can attach to your hair that don’t change your hairstyle.
Now let’s think about how to use these accessories to classify them. If you wanted to figure out what category of accessories someone was talking about, you might use this simple checklist:
Buns, braids

What are the common area of property maintenance that a home owner must deal with?
### Response:
| Maintenance of a home involves addressing the functioning of its main systems: structure, roofing and windows, electrical, plumbing, HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning).
Structure refers to the exterior and interior walls, many of which are "load bearing," meaning they support something above them, like a ceiling or a roof. Roofing and windows protect the interior of a home from the exterior conditions, keeping out rain, wind, and insects. Doors fit into this category, too. Electrical systems connect electricity provided by an outside source, such as a power company, into the home for use by appliances, lights, entertainment, and other items powered by electricity. Plumbing systems bring water into, then out of, the home for use in the kitchen and bathrooms. HVAC systems control the interior climate, managing temperature and humidity to make the home comfortable. |

Can you suggest 3 different ways that I can cook chicken breasts?
### Response:
| Yes, here are some recommendations:
1) You could pan-sear the chicken breasts over medium heat in some olive oil. Once they are browned, remove from the pan and add a bit of lemon juice to deglaze the pan, then add some minced garlic and cook until fragrant. Return the chicken to the pan and add some chopped tomatoes along with a bit of red wine or sherry. Season with salt and pepper and simmer until the chicken is cooked through. Garnish with fresh basil.
2) You can also marinate the chicken breasts in some sesame oil, minced garlic, soy sauce, and brown sugar, then grill them. This method has a nice Asian-style flavor. Alternatively you can “poach” the chicken breasts by simmering them in a sauce made from soy sauce, miso, sake, mirin, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and ginger. The resulting chicken will be tender and extremely flavorful. Finally you can stir-fry the chicken with some sliced mushrooms in a bit of sesame oil, along with soy sauce and toasted sesame seeds.
3) Another option is to use a red mole sauce. The traditional Mexican mole sauce is quite complex and time-consuming to prepare, but you can also make a simpler version with just a few pantry ingredients. Start by sauteeing some sliced onions, then add a can of whole or diced tomatoes with some cumin, oregano, and chili powder. Cook until the sauce has thickened, then remove from the heat and stir in some kidney beans which have been simmered with some garlic, cumin, and chili powder. Cut the chicken breasts into strips and stir-fry with some sliced Anaheim chilies. Once the chicken is cooked add the beans with their sauce and heat through. Garnish with fresh coriander.

Who were the Beatles?
The Beatles were an English rock band, formed in Liverpool in 1960, that comprised John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr. They are regarded as the most influential band of all time[1] and were integral to the development of 1960s counterculture and popular music's recognition as an art form.[2] Rooted in skiffle, beat and 1950s rock 'n' roll, their sound incorporated elements of classical music and traditional pop in innovative ways; the band also explored music styles ranging from folk and Indian music to psychedelia and hard rock. As pioneers in recording, songwriting and artistic presentation, the Beatles revolutionised many aspects of the music industry and were often publicised as leaders of the era's youth and sociocultural movements.[3]
### Response:
| ed by primary songwriters Lennon and McCartney, the Beatles evolved from Lennon's previous group, the Quarrymen, and built their reputation playing clubs in Liverpool and Hamburg over three years from 1960, initially with Stuart Sutcliffe playing bass. The core trio of Lennon, McCartney and Harrison, together since 1958, went through a succession of drummers, including Pete Best, before asking Starr to join them in 1962. Manager Brian Epstein moulded them into a professional act, and producer George Martin guided and developed their recordings, greatly expanding their domestic success after signing to EMI Records and achieving their first hit, "Love Me Do", in late 1962. As their popularity grew into the intense fan frenzy dubbed "Beatlemania", the band acquired the nickname "the Fab Four", with Epstein, Martin or another member of the band's entourage sometimes informally referred to as a "fifth Beatle".
By early 1964, the Beatles were international stars and had achieved unprecedented levels of critical and commercial success. They became a leading force in Britain's cultural resurgence, ushering in the British Invasion of the United States pop market, and soon made their film debut with A Hard Day's Night (1964). A growing desire to refine their studio efforts, coupled with the untenable nature of their concert tours, led to the band's retirement from live performances in 1966. At this time, they produced records of greater sophistication, including the albums Rubber Soul (1965), Revolver (1966) and Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (1967), and enjoyed further commercial success with The Beatles (also known as "the White Album", 1968) and Abbey Road (1969). The success of these records heralded the album era, as albums became the dominant form of record consumption over singles; they also increased public interest in psychedelic drugs and Eastern spirituality, and furthered advancements in electronic music, album art and music videos. In 1968, they founded Apple Corps, a multi-armed multimedia corporation that continues to oversee projects related to the band's legacy. After the group's break-up in 1970, all principal former members enjoyed success as solo artists and some partial reunions have occurred. Lennon was murdered in 1980 and Harrison died of lung cancer in 2001. McCartney and Starr remain musically active.
The Beatles are the best-selling music act of all time, with estimated sales of 600 million units worldwide.[4][5] They are the most successful act in the history of the US Billboard charts.[6] They hold the record for most number-one albums on the UK Albums Chart (15), most number-one hits on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart (20), and most singles sold in the UK (21.9 million). The band received many accolades, including seven Grammy Awards, four Brit Awards, an Academy Award (for Best Original Song Score for the 1970 documentary film Let It Be) and fifteen Ivor Novello Awards. They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1988, and each principal member was inducted individually between 1994 and 2015. In 2004 and 2011, the group topped Rolling Stone's lists of the greatest artists in history. Time magazine named them among the 20th century's 100 most important people. |

How can i dry my clothes more quickly without a washing machine?
### Response:
| You can try laying the clothes out flat in the sun. Another idea is to lay them out on a drying rack, or to hang them up. The latter might require things like a hanger, a washing line, or a clothesline. If it's not raining or humid out, maybe you can dry the clothes outside, for instance by placing them on a clothes drying rack. Alternatively, the clothes might be dry by the time you get home from work, if you have a job.

How are coffee beans processed to make the drink?
### Response:
| Coffee beans are grown in different ways around the world, but in general the process to make coffee happens in the following steps:
To begin with, the green beans are dried and hand picked. Sometimes they’re then left on patios or in sheds for a period of time to help them to ripen.
After the beans are picked, they go through a drying process, where they are heated and dried in very high-temperature chambers.
They are then passed through a machine called a “decorticator,” which removes the outer layer of the coffee bean. The discarded outer layer of the bean is known as “husk.”
Next the coffee beans are taken through an “elevatormachine” to be sorted into sizes.
The coffee beans are then stored, most likely in large rooms.
This is where the name “coffee bean” comes from, because coffee beans are actually seeds. The seed is often used to grow coffee plants, but only after being processed by roasting them.
Once the coffee is ready to be ground into a drink, it is placed in a grinder to extract the beans, which can then be brewed.

How should I research my term paper?
### Response:
| That can be tricky, especially if your professors haven’t provided much guidance! I recommend starting by looking up some general information about your topic on academic databases, which can give you some useful background information about the discipline you’re studying. Also, you’ll want to look for scholarly sources that cite relevant literature on your topic. It’s often also a good idea to look at any available lecture notes and textbooks on the topic, which may give you some useful pointers.

What are the most popular sports in the United States of America?
### Response:
| The most popular sports in the United States of America are football, basketball, and baseball. Football is sometimes referred to as "American football" because it has a similar sounding name to "futbol" which in the United States is called soccer. Soccer is growing in popularity, but is not yet as popular in the United States as football, basketball, and baseball. Professional events in each of these sports mean a lot to the people in the United States. These events include the Super Bowl for football, the NBA finals for basketball, and the World Series for baseball. Children in the United States often grow up playing one or more of these sports. There are professional football, basketball, and baseball teams in many cities within the United States of America and even a few teams in Canada! Children and adults often idolize their favorite athletes in each of these sports. |

What should I do with a child who keeps repeating the same mistake? I'm getting frustrated.
### Response:
| You probably want to avoid telling the child they "shouldn't have done something," or say "Stupid!" or anything similar. This will do nothing to help the child improve and could likely worsen the problem, so instead try finding out from them what they can do and what they might have learned from the mistake they just made. Then help them find a solution, encouraging them to come up with ideas and helping them build on their ideas if needed.

Tell me about the history of how the NBA started?
The Basketball Association of America was founded in 1946 by owners of the major ice hockey arenas in the Northeastern and Midwestern United States and Canada. On November 1, 1946, in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, the Toronto Huskies hosted the New York Knickerbockers at Maple Leaf Gardens, in a game the NBA now refers to as the first game played in NBA history. The first basket was made by Ossie Schectman of the Knickerbockers. Although there had been earlier attempts at professional basketball leagues, including the American Basketball League (ABL) and the NBL, the BAA was the first league to attempt to play primarily in large arenas in major cities. During its early years, the quality of play in the BAA was not significantly better than in competing leagues or among leading independent clubs such as the Harlem Globetrotters. For instance, the 1948 ABL finalist Baltimore Bullets moved to the BAA and won that league's 1948 title, and the 1948 NBL champion Minneapolis Lakers won the 1949 BAA title. Prior to the 1948–49 season, however, NBL teams from Fort Wayne, Indianapolis, Minneapolis, and Rochester jumped to the BAA, which established the BAA as the league of choice for collegians looking to turn professional.
On August 3, 1949, the remaining NBL teams–Syracuse, Anderson, Tri-Cities, Sheboygan, Denver, and Waterloo–merged into the BAA. In deference to the merger and to avoid possible legal complications, the league name was changed to the present National Basketball Association, even though the merged league retained the BAA's governing body, including Maurice Podoloff as president. To this day, the NBA claims the BAA's history as its own. It now reckons the arrival of the NBL teams as an expansion, not a merger, and does not recognize NBL records and statistics.
### Response:
| The league was founded in New York City on June 6, 1946, as the Basketball Association of America (BAA). It changed its name to the National Basketball Association on August 3, 1949, after merging with the competing National Basketball League.. |

How does the J programming language improve upon the syntax of APL?
The J programming language, developed in the early 1990s by Kenneth E. Iverson and Roger Hui,[5][6] is an array programming language based primarily on APL (also by Iverson).
To avoid repeating the APL special-character problem, J uses only the basic ASCII character set, resorting to the use of the dot and colon as inflections[7] to form short words similar to digraphs. Most such primary (or primitive) J words serve as mathematical symbols, with the dot or colon extending the meaning of the basic characters available. Also, many characters which in other languages often must be paired (such as [] {} "" `` or <>) are treated by J as stand-alone words or, when inflected, as single-character roots of multi-character words.
### Response:
| J avoids using the special characters required in APL by instead using only ASCII symbols and combining them with dot and colon. This makes it a lot easier to type on a standard keyboard. |

What are reborn dogs?
### Response:
| Reborn dogs are a type of dog that were previously euthanized in shelters, and are given a second chance at life by being rescued from sacrifice and given care, socialization and rehabilitation. There are hundreds of thousands of reborn dogs in the United States, and in fact almost all types of dog breeds -- including many that are no longer runts or puppies, but already fully grown. Shelter dogs are often given up by their previous owners for reasons unrelated to their behavior or quality as a pet, and show great potential for a happy, loving life as a new companion in a different home.

How can I make homemade ice cream?
### Response:
| I have a recipe that I recommend:
1 1/2 cups milk
1 cup whipping cream
2/3 cup sugar
3 egg yolks
2 tablespoons vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
ice cubes, in trays, or a tray on a freezer
4 - 5 cups heavy cream
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup non-dairy substitute (such as soy or rice)
Prepare your freezing tray or bowl for your ice cream by pouring in the milk, cream, and sugar.
Whisk the egg yolks, vanilla, and salt together and then add them to the bowl.
Stir everything until all of the ingredients are thoroughly mixed.
Cover the bowl and let it sit in the fridge for at least 3 hours or overnight.
Once it's ready, remove the bowl from the fridge and beat with an electric hand mixer for about 2 minutes. (Don't worry, this step isn't to make it fluffy or cool, the purpose is to break up the egg so that it won't become runny.)
Heat your heavy cream, sugar, and non-dairy substitute on low until simmering.
Strain your mixture over the top of the cream, stir and mix well.
Then take the ice cream base and put it into a freezer bowl.
Let it freeze for at least 8 hours or overnight.
Once the ice cream is frozen you can add whatever you want to it, like fruit. You can even put chocolate chips or cookie crumbs in it for a little added crunch.
You can also freeze it in a hard ice cream container. This is especially helpful if you're going to take it with you.
To serve, scoop it out and add it to your favourite dessert or eat it by itself.

How do you prevent cavities as an adult?
### Response:
| Be sure to eat plenty of fruits and vegetables. They are good for you and also help prevent cavities. I would also recommend drinking water frequently. Drink water throughout the day to stay hydrated, and also to help rinse the body. Additionally, be sure to get plenty of exercise on a regular basis. Exercise helps to keep the body fit and also helps you stay well-hydrated. Getting plenty of exercise, as well as eating a well-balanced diet of fruits and vegetables can help you stay well-hydrated and also help you prevent cavities. Also, brush your teeth twice a day. Brushing the teeth can help remove plaque from the teeth and gums, and also can help prevent cavities. If you do these things, you can help prevent cavities as an adult.

Please write me a short children's bedtime story about a frog, a tree, and the moon. Make the moral of the story about appreciating what you have in life.
### Response:
| Once upon a time, there was a Frog. His name was Mr. Wilson. He lived in a small little twig house, on the side of a great big pond. He loved his little house. He especially loved how close he was to the water, which let him go out swimming, searching for yummy bugs to eat.
One night he was feeling lonely. It was just him in that tiny little house, by the great big pond. He looked up at the moon and wondered who else lived up there. He said, "If only I could climb up to the moon, I would find friends and be happy". Mr. Wilson noticed a grand and towering tree across the river. He thought to himself, "If I can climb that tree, then I can make it up to the moon!"
So he ventured out on a journey to make it up the tree. He rushed through the tall grass, moving quickly so the cats and dogs would not see him. When he made it to the tree he met an old squirrel friend named Ron. Ron was happy to help Mr. Wilson up the tree. So Mr. Wilson jumped on Ron's back and had a bouncy ride to the top.
Mr. Wilson made it to the top, but the tree needed to be taller! He still was so far away from the moon. Mr. Wilson put his head down and started to cry. He said, "Ron, I can't get to the moon... I'll always be lonely!". Ron responded, "Look around Mr. Wilson, can't you see all the friends in the forest. You don't need to go to the moon! There is plenty of fun you can have right here!". Mr. Wilson had a grand view of the whole forest and saw all the friends he could make. He smiled and was happy. He then knew that all along he had what he needed right where he was. Maybe one day he would make it to the moon, but he didn't need to get there now. He didn't need to get there ever. |

How do you grill bone-in chicken?
### Response:
| Ah yes, the classic bone-in chicken recipe, a true culinary classic! Here are the essential steps for proper grilling of bone-in chicken:
1) Place chicken pieces skin side up on a wire rack set on a baking sheet. Season the chicken generously with salt and pepper. Leave skin on chicken pieces and do not flatten. Allow chicken to rest for at least 20 minutes at room temp before grilling. This will allow the chicken to warm up to grilling temperature and the salt and pepper flavor to permeate the meat.
2) Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Grill chicken for 12-15 minutes per side, turning 3-4 times. Chicken is done when skin is crisp and golden brown and meat is fully cooked.
3) Let chicken rest for about 5 minutes, then serve. The interior of the chicken will continue to cook and become more tender during this resting period.
Bon appétit!

What is fracking?
### Response:
| Fracking, or “hydraulic fracturing,” is a method used to extract natural gas and petroleum from shale. A mixture of water, sand, and various chemicals is pumped underground, where it creates tiny fractures in the shale, which helps release natural gas and oil from the rock. Fracking is controversial, because of possible environmental effects such as groundwater contamination and earthquakes. There is ongoing research to fully understand the environmental impacts of fracking. Some countries have banned fracking, and many others have strict regulations on it to protect the environment.

What is cholesterol and bad cholesterol and why would I want to reduce my levels?
### Response:
| Cholesterol is a waxy, fat-like substance found in the cells in your body. Your liver makes cholesterol and it is also found in some foods like meat and dairy products. Your body needs certain levels of cholesterol to function, but too much raises the risk of cardiovascular disease.
LDL, low-density lipoprotein, is also known as bad cholesterol. It gets it's "bad" name because too high of levels of LDL can lead to a build up of cholesterol in you arteries. The extra amount of LDL forms plaque and the build up of this plaque in your arteries leads to a condition called, artherosclerosis. Coronary artery disease happens when the plaque buildup is in the arteries of your heart. It causes the arteries to become hardened and narrowed , which slows down or blocks the blood flow to your heart. Because your blood carries oxygen to your heart, this means that your heart may not be able to get enough oxygen. This can cause angina or chest pains and may lead to a heat attack if blood flow is completely blocked. |

How do we know what dinosaurs looked like just based of their skeletons?
### Response:
| Well, we can compare their skeletons with modern animals, and also we know from trackways and fossilized footprints that some dinosaurs were enormous, and others were very small. For example, we know that T-rex was a huge animal, we know the size of its skeleton, and we also know from its footprints that it was enormous. And we also know that some small dinosaurs like the velociraptors were also very large, and had big claws on their feet. So from both of these lines of evidence we know that some dinosaurs were really huge, and others were pretty small.

Is there a short way to play Monopoly?
### Response:
| You can play a one-on-one game, a two-player game, or you can play a game against the computer. If you want to play a one-on-one game, you each choose two opposing properties, and you buy and trade from the Bank until you buy both Park Place and Boardwalk, and you each take turns rolling the dice and moving your pieces. The winner is the first player to reach the winning goal. The two-player game is kind of like a race -- you start with the same amount of money, and both players try to buy properties, trade money and cards, and reach the victory point at the same time. This can get pretty competitive, but it’s also fun. Finally, you can play against the computer. In this mode, you each start with the same amount of money, and the game is turned over to the computer to begin. You’ll both take turns rolling the dice and moving your pieces, and whichever player reaches the goal first wins. This mode is also available in a competitive two-player game.

What are the first steps in starting a business?
### Response:
| The first step in starting a business is to decide what kind of business you’d like to run. You may have selected this for several different reasons, including your interests, your knowledge, and your skills. After that, you should choose a business structure for your business. There are several different kinds of structures, and it is important to choose the right one for your particular situation. These include sole proprietorships, partnerships, corporations, and limited liability companies (or LLCs). Once you’ve chosen a business structure, you will need to decide what type of business licenses you will need to begin operation. For example, if you operate your business from home, you will likely need to obtain a business license form your local government. Finally, once you’ve decided all of these details and prepared to begin your business, you will need to acquire equipment, pay for supplies, and find sources of money for your business.

This is kind of a gross question, but why do dogs so readily sniff other dogs' butts?
### Response:
| Dogs are social animals, and they rely on one another for survival. When they meet, they greet each other by sniffing each other. The sniffing is a way of saying hello, and also checking the other dog's scent. This can help them recognize other dogs they know, as well as check each other out for any potential threats. Plus, dogs seem to enjoy sniffing each other. It can help calm them, and also might give them a kind of enjoyment. Similarly, dogs also like to sniff one another's butts, and this also seems to help calm them. If you have two dogs getting along well, you'll often see one dog sniffing the other dog's butt. Similarly, if one dog is agitated or excited, you might see the other dog sniffing it. Plus, it

How do I make a seed bomb?
### Response:
| A seed bomb is actually a really positive action you can take for the environment. In a seed bomb, you pack a hollow sphere with seeds, and then you throw it into the ground so that the seeds spread. The idea is that since seeds are organic, they won’t hurt the ground where they land, and since they help plants grow, they can help restore the natural health of an ecosystem. To make a seed bomb, you’ll need a strong plastic sphere, about 2-3 inches in diameter. The inside of the sphere should be completely hollow, so that you can fill it with seeds.

How do you sculpt ice?
### Response:
| Glad you asked! Sculpting ice is a great way to capture the feel of winter. You can use it to carve realistic scenes and simple forms, such as clubs, hammers, golf balls, stars, Christmas ornaments, lanterns, flowers, and much more.
You can sculpt ice with a variety of tools, but the most common is an ice pick and a hammer. Which tools and methods do a job best very much depends on the objective of the sculpture. For casual sketches, you can pick up some small, smooth-edged rocks or for a more elegant style (and less mess), you can also use carving tools with serrated blades or a ball-peen hammer and chisel. Another easy method is to freeze sand or dirt (and then pour water on it to create a hardened moulded object).
In general, you should always use care when handling ice, and wear protective gloves and glasses and work in a well-ventilated area. For smaller sculptures, you can use a household freezer. For bigger sculptures, you can use an icehouse. While sculpting ice is enjoyable and low-cost, it does require the correct equipment and safe space

What was written in Ski-U-Mah?
Shulman was born in St. Paul, Minnesota, and raised in the city's Selby-Dale neighborhood. His father Abraham, a house painter, and his mother Bessie Karchmar were Jewish immigrants from Belarus.[1]
As a student at the University of Minnesota, where he was classmate of Thomas Heggen, Thomas R. St. George and Norman Katkov,[2] Shulman wrote a column for the Minnesota Daily as well as pieces for Ski-U-Mah, the college humor magazine. His writing humorously exaggerated campus culture.[3] Shortly after Shulman graduated in 1942, an agent from Doubleday persuaded Shulman to send him some clips, which resulted in the campus satire Barefoot Boy With Cheek, a surprise 1943 bestseller. In 1947 Shulman adapted Barefoot Boy into a musical of the same name.
### Response:
| Ski-U-Mah was the college humor magazine for University of Minnesota. Shulman wrote pieces for Ski-U-Mah humorously exaggerating campus culture.
It is not clear from the text what else was written in Ski-U-Mah, but presumably there were other humorous pieces written about topics relating to University of Minnesota. |

I went to the supermarket today and saw that there were many different brands selling water. Are there any differences between bottled water?
### Response:
| Well, we know that the water is essentially the same between different brands, and that water itself is generally healthy. But it’s true that the quality of bottled water can vary significantly. This is particularly true of bottled water that has been processed in some way, or packaged in a way that could potentially change the chemical content of the water.

How do you overcome adversity the best you can?
### Response:
| There are lots of ways to overcome adversity. One important thing people often suggest is doing some self-reflection and being open about your concerns and issues with the person you’re having the problem with. I also think that often trying to understand the other person’s perspective and being honest with them about your concerns can help. Sometimes it can be helpful to try talking things over with a friend or other people you trust as well to get outside perspectives on how to solve the problem. If you talk with people who can be understanding and supportive of you, that can make it easier to find helpful solutions and make other people less defensive, which can allow you to deal better with the situation.
