If you want to meet their expectations for a polite, well-mannered person, I’d recommend just being yourself! I think most parents want their child to be with someone who is comfortable in their own skin, who isn’t constantly trying to impress them. Of course it’s really hard to know exactly what expectations there are, but I think it would be best to err on the side of being too polite, too well-mannered. If you accidentally disappoint them, they’ll just have to accept that. You can always apologize if you think it necessary.

Django is a common choice, it’s easy to get started with and has lots of documentation and community support.
Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: Based on this paragraph, how many times was Barros traded during his professional basketball career? The 5' 11" (1.80 m), 165 lb (75 kg) point guard, began his professional career in 1989 when he was selected in the first round of the NBA draft by the Seattle SuperSonics with the 16th pick. Most of his time spent in Seattle was as a backup to point guard Gary Payton, who was considered to be a much more competent ball handler and defender, as Barros was deemed more usable at shooting guard. Prior to the 1993–94 season, the Sonics traded Barros to the Charlotte Hornets in exchange for Kendall Gill. Two days later, Charlotte traded Barros, Sidney Green, and their 1993 draft choice, Greg Graham, to the Philadelphia 76ers for Hersey Hawkins. Barros became a free agent at the end of the 1994-95 NBA season. He signed with his hometown Boston Celtics, and remained for five seasons as a role player alongside David Wesley and Dee Brown and mentor to younger players such as Antoine Walker and Paul Pierce. In the offseason of 2000, Barros was traded to the Dallas Mavericks as part of a four-team deal that also involved the Utah Jazz and Golden State Warriors. By the time the 2000–01 season had commenced, the Mavs had traded Barros to the Detroit Pistons, where he played 89 games over two seasons, averaging 7.5 points per game, until waiving him in 2002. ### Response:
Based on this paragraph, Barros was traded four times while in the NBA (from Seattle to Charlotte; from Charlotte to Philadelphia; from Boston to Dallas; from Dallas to Detroit).
Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: How do you use an IR thermometer to check food temperature? ### Response:
An infrared thermometer can be used to measure the surface temperature of food to ensure it is being held at an appropriate temperature while being served or cooked. The process is very simple: First, place the infrared thermometer in contact with the food, and then read the internal temperature displayed on the digital screen. The food should be held at medium-to-warm temperatures, typically around 60-90 degrees Fahrenheit or 15-35 degrees Celsius to significantly reduce the risk of foodborne illness. When cooking, hold the food at or above an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit (or 74 degrees Celsius) until ready to serve to ensure any bacteria is destroyed. To use an infrared thermometer, simply follow these steps: First, select the mode on your infrared thermometer - either "Thermometer" or "Camera." Make sure the probe tip is clean and free of debris. Place the probe tip in contact with the food (avoid touching the display on the thermometer). Hold the thermometer in place for a few seconds to allow the temperature reading to stabilize. Wait a few seconds for the temperature accuracy to improve, and then examine the digital display for the current temperature reading. Rewarm or

Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: I read the following article online: "Independent agencies of the United States federal government are agencies that exist outside the federal executive departments (those headed by a Cabinet secretary) and the Executive Office of the President.[1]: 6 In a narrower sense, the term refers only to those independent agencies that, while considered part of the executive branch, have regulatory or rulemaking authority and are insulated from presidential control, usually because the president's power to dismiss the agency head or a member is limited." Can you list those agencies? I know that one of them is the Federal Reserve. ### Response:
Sure, I’ll look it up. In fact, here’s a list right here: Independent agencies are responsible for many of the daily activities of the federal government. These independent agencies do not exist as part of the Cabinet and they do not report directly to the president. Instead, they are headed by a presidentially appointed officer who oversees the agency and is responsible to Congress for the agency's operations. Some of the most important independent agencies include: - The Federal Reserve - The Environmental Protection Agency - The National Aeronautics and Space Administration - The National Labor Relations Board - The Social Security Administration - The Internal Revenue Service

This kind of dance can be great for kids in a variety of age ranges, from younger preschoolers to older children, and even into their teens.
Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: Why are there speed limits on public roads? ### Response:
Governments create and enforce speed limits for humans driving vehicles on public roads in the interest of public safety. The speed limits generally depend on the type of road, including whether it is in a residential area or a freeway. Police officers enforce posted limits by patrolling the roads and checking the speeds of vehicles around them using radar technology. By preventing vehicles from traveling at excessive speeds, speed limits help keep roadways safer for everyone.
Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: From this passage, tell me what was Osborne Computer Corporation's mistake. The Osborne effect is a social phenomenon of customers canceling or deferring orders for the current, soon-to-be-obsolete product as an unexpected drawback of a company's announcing a future product prematurely. It is an example of cannibalization. The term alludes to the Osborne Computer Corporation, whose second product did not become available until more than a year after it was announced. The company's subsequent bankruptcy was widely blamed on reduced sales after the announcement. The Osborne Effect states that prematurely discussing future, unavailable products damages sales of existing products. The name comes from the planned replacement of the Osborne 1, an early personal computer first sold by the Osborne Computer Corporation in 1981. In 1983, founder Adam Osborne pre-announced several next-generation computer models (the Osborne Executive and Osborne Vixen), which were only prototypes, highlighting the fact that they would outperform the existing model as the prototypes dramatically cut down assembly time. A widely held belief was that sales of the Osborne 1 fell sharply as customers anticipated those more advanced systems, leading to a sales decline from which Osborne Computer was unable to recover. This belief appeared in the media almost immediately after the company's September 1983 bankruptcy: To give the jazzy $2,495 Osborne Executive a running start, Adam began orchestrating publicity early in 1983. We, along with many other magazines, were shown the machine in locked hotel rooms. We were required not to have anything in print about it until the planned release date in mid-April. As far as we know, nothing did appear in print, but dealers heard about the plans and cancelled orders for the Osborne 1 in droves. In early April, Osborne told dealers he would be showing them the machine on a one-week tour the week of 17 April, and emphasized that the new machine was not a competitor for the Osborne 1. But dealers didn't react the way Osborne expected; said Osborne, "All of them just cancelled their orders for the Osborne 1." Osborne reacted by drastically cutting prices on the Osborne 1 in an effort to stimulate cash flow. But nothing seemed to work, and for several months sales were practically non-existent. Pre-announcement is done for several reasons: to reassure current customers that there is improvement or lower cost coming, to increase the interest of the media and investors in the company's future prospects, and to intimidate or confuse competitors. When done correctly, the sales or cash flow impact to the company is minimal, with the revenue drop for the current product being offset by orders or completed sales of the new product as it becomes available. However, when the Osborne effect occurs, the quantity of unsold goods increases and the company must react by discounting and/or lowering production of the current product, both of which depress cash flow. ### Response:
It's widely believed that Osborne Computer Corporation's bankruptcy was caused by the premature announcement of some highly performant successor models to their flagship Osborne 1 personal computer. The announcement was initially restricted, but as the news spread dealers cancelled orders for Osborne 1 in droves. The company drastically reduced the prices of Osborne 1 in reaction. This, however, didn't stop the decline in sales.

You also should investigate the maximum amount of money you could potentially be awarded in the lawsuit, so you can plan your budget. Then you'll want to create a case by listing the basic facts of your case and the consequences. If you've got any evidence supporting your case, you should also prepare that.

Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: When did Iranians convert to Islam? The Islamization of Iran occurred as a result of the Muslim conquest of Persia in 633–654. It was a long process by which Islam, though initially rejected, eventually spread among the population on the Iranian Plateau. Iranian peoples have maintained certain pre-Islamic traditions, including their language and culture, and adapted them with Islamic codes. These two customs and traditions merged as the "Iranian Islamic" identity. ### Response:
Unlike the popular opinion that Arabs converted Iranians to Islam after defeating the Sasanian Empire, Iranians continued to practice their native religions for many centuries. The conversion to Islam was a slow process which was aided by differentiated tax systems for Muslims and non-muslims.

Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: I'm thinking about re-watching some old crime series, that were popular decades ago. Any suggestions for classic crime and punishment series? ### Response:
I think you'd really enjoy "Inspector Morse". It's one of the most acclaimed crime shows of all time, and won many awards and is still widely seen today. The show focuses on Inspector Morse of the Oxford Police, played by John Thaw, and is set in the city of Oxford, England. The story focuses on the inspector and his partner Sergeant Lewis (Kevin Whately) as they try to solve crimes, and the whole show is carried out in Oxford's beautiful and famous university. This series also has a very nice tone to it, since it often focuses on the dark but not necessarily criminal mindset of the inspector, which is of course also what makes the series so enjoyable and popular. The writer of this series is Colin Dexter, whose Inspector Morse novels are still sold in large numbers today.

Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: I want to donate to a charity, but know that lots of charities don't use the money properly. Which charities are most efficient? ### Response:
That's a great question, and the answer is quite complicated. Perhaps it would be easier to first make a few assumptions about what a “most efficient” charity would be like, and then evaluate what types of charities share those characteristics. One easy way to start thinking about what qualities of a charity make it efficient would be to think about its administrative overhead. Administrative overhead is the expense of doing business, which includes staff salaries, facilities expenses, other expenses related to the running of the business, etc. A charity with low administrative overhead will have a lower cost per dollar raised, so it can have a larger impact for a given dollar donated. On the other hand, a charity with high administrative overhead may be able to raise more money through their business activities, but those funds won’t translate to better services. If we think about efficiency this way, then there’s actually a very large number of charities that could be considered “efficient”, even if they might not be doing the most good overall. An example of a non-charity would be an employee-owned business, which would be quite efficient, but there’s nothing else like it.

Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: Without quoting directly from the text give me a summary of the differences between Iyengar Yoga and other yoga practices. According to the Iyengar Yoga Institute, unlike more experiential approaches where students are encouraged to independently "find their way" to the asanas by imitating the teacher, an Iyengar Yoga class is precise, with misalignments and errors actively explained and corrected. 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:
Based on the given text, Iyengar yoga differs from other types of yoga in the following points: By focusing on precision and alignment, Iyengar yoga gives you precise instructions and continuously explains and corrects the misalignments and errors. It also prioritizes the quality of the postures over the intensity of doing them. It also keeps the practitioners in the postures for a longer time in comparison to other yoga styles. Also the practitioners are provided with different props like belts, blocks and blankets that they can use freely to help themselves to perform the asanas correctly.

Getting around can sometimes be difficult if you’re traveling alone.

Also make sure you keep rubber bands and safety pins with you, which may help if you lose or manage to ruin valuable travel documents. -Be aware of your surroundings, and a good idea is to stick to crowded areas and to try and travel with other people. -If you really want to get a feel for the local culture, try visiting some museums.
Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: How can I attract new customers to my business? ### Response:
I can help, here’s what I’ve found to work well in practice: You can advertise your business on social media (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, etc.). That can be fairly effective, especially when used alongside targeting your ads to people who you already know are potentially interested in your business. The second option is to do social-good work (like, for example, charity work). This can boost your business’s public image and increase your brand awareness, which is often as or more important than raising sales directly. The third option is to develop your reputation as a consummate professional. This means making an effort to have your stuff always be neat and on time. It means giving solid guarantees on your work, and over time showing yourself to be a trustworthy professional who delivers. You can gain social proof of your expertise by demonstrating that you have an extensive client base. You can also gain social proof by having a portfolio of samples of your work on your website, or on display in your store. This shows that you’re in the business for the long haul, and that you care enough to put in a high level of quality.
Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: When should I be worried that my toddler is not talking? ### Response:
Well, some toddlers learn to talk earlier than others, and there’s a wide variety of normal speech development. Generally, most children between 1 and 2 years old will be walking and babbling, and then after talking consonants appear, before 2 they start to say a variety of real phrases. Most toddlers will also typically say between 15 and 50 words by age 2. If you’re still not hearing understanding language from your child at 2, and you are otherwise confident that your child is sleeping and eating well and is growing and developing normally, it is probably worthwhile to consult your pediatrician. If your child has been silent since babyhood but otherwise seems to be developing normally, you should also speak to your doctor, but in this case it may be more helpful to speak to a speech-language pathologist as well, especially if your child also has difficulty following simple instructions and learning new skills. It may be that your child has just developed language slowly, or it may be that your child has a weak ability to process and use language. In either case, speaking to an educated specialist can help you to determine the most important steps to take.

Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: How do you dry garlic? ### Response:
Many ways are possible, which method you choose depends on several factors. The garlic cloves can be left on a sheet of paper towel for four to eight hours, or stuffed into cleaned and dried mesh garlic sacks and hung until they are dry. Or they can be laid out on a sheet tray in a warm, dark room for several weeks. If you use the last method, it’s important that the cloves never get in contact with each other, as they will mix and mingle flavors and you’ll end up with garlic cloves that aren’t pure garlic anymore. After drying is complete, it’s best to keep the garlic in an airtight container to prevent moisture from contaminating the cloves.

Jurassic Park, later also referred to as Jurassic World,[1] is an American science fiction media franchise created by Michael Crichton and centered on a disastrous attempt to create a theme park of cloned dinosaurs. It began in 1990 when Universal Pictures and Amblin Entertainment bought the rights to Crichton's novel Jurassic Park before it was published. The book was successful, as was Steven Spielberg's 1993 film adaptation. The film received a theatrical 3D re-release in 2013,[2] and was selected in 2018 for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant". A 1995 sequel novel, The Lost World, was followed by a film adaptation in 1997. Subsequent films in the series, including Jurassic Park III (2001), are not based on the novels. In 2015, a second trilogy of films began with the fourth film in the series, Jurassic World. The film was successful, becoming the first film to gross over $500 million worldwide in its opening weekend,[3] and grossed over $1.6 billion through the course of its theatrical run, making it the third highest-grossing film at the time. It became the second highest-grossing film of 2015,[4] and is currently the eighth highest-grossing film of all time.[5] When adjusted for monetary inflation, Jurassic World is the second highest-grossing film in the franchise after Jurassic Park. A sequel, Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018) grossed over $1.3 billion worldwide, making it the third Jurassic film to pass the billion-dollar mark. It is the third highest-grossing film of 2018,[6] and currently the 18th highest-grossing film of all time.[5] The final film in the trilogy, Jurassic World Dominion, was released in 2022. It grossed over $1 billion worldwide and became the third highest-grossing film of 2022.[7] Jurassic World Dominion also became the fourth film in the franchise to pass the billion-dollar mark.[8][9][10] ### Response:

Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: What is the best type of RV for a retired couple? ### Response:
The best type of RV for a retired couple depends on how they intend to use it and on which features are most important to them. If ease of driving and parking are important then a Class B RV may be the best choice since they’re built within standard van chassis. However, Class B RVs are very tight, with a small bathroom, kitchen and sleeping area so if space is important then a larger Class A or Class C may be a better choice. They are larger and more difficult to drive but have much more living space. If the retired couple plans on staying in one place then a travel trailer may be a better option as it can be set up and left at the campground, allowing the owners to use their car or truck to make day trips. Travel trailers are also the least expensive option.

The need for bra-like supports varies across cultures, although the use of supports of some kind is quite widespread. Women’s breasts vary in size considerably from culture to culture, and therefore bra-like supports are used to compensate for this variation. There are also benefits to wearing bra-like supports in some cultures. For example, bra-like supports have a calming effect on some women, and may be used for hygiene or aesthetic purposes. Women’s breasts also vary in shape and consistency across cultures, and bras provide support for this as well. However, some cultures do not use bras at all, and some women wear no bras even in cultures that do.

Though the term large language model has no formal definition, it often refers to deep learning models having a parameter count on the order of billions or more.[2] LLMs are general purpose models which excel at a wide range of tasks, as opposed to being trained for one specific task (such as sentiment analysis, named entity recognition, or mathematical reasoning).[1][3] The skill with which they accomplish tasks, and the range of tasks at which they are capable, seems to be a function of the amount of resources (data, parameter-size, computing power) devoted to them, in a way that is not dependent on additional breakthroughs in design.[4] Though trained on simple tasks along the lines of predicting the next word in a sentence, neural language models with sufficient training and parameter counts are found to capture much of the syntax and semantics of human language. In addition, large language models demonstrate considerable general knowledge about the world, and are able to "memorize" a great quantity of facts during training.[1] ### Response:
The term large language model (LLM) does not have a formal definition. However, it often refers to deep learning models having a parameter count on the order of billions or more.
