### Instruction:
How do I make oatmeal cookies using quick oats instead of rolled oats?
### Response:
| It’s actually not too difficult to make oatmeal cookies using quick oats, but it takes a bit of experimentation. You’ll need to start with the right ratio of flour and quick oats, and you also need to choose a technique for making the cookies. I think the best approach is to use a method similar to that of traditional oatmeal cookies, but with a bit of extra flour added at the end to give you a thicker, more solid cookie. Here’s an example of a possible recipe:
2 eggs
3/4 cup white sugar
1/4 cup light brown sugar
1/3 cup canola oil
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 cup quick oats
3/4 cup flour
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Use the eggs to beat together the sugars and the oil until smooth. Mix in the oats, flour, and vanilla. Roll the cookie dough into balls, place them on a cookie sheet, and bake for 10 minutes, until they’ve just barely started to brown. The batter should have just a bit of stickiness, but you can put your hands into the dough a bit and shape it into the cookies you’

### Instruction:
How important is a vice presidential candidate when running for President? Do people care that much?
### Response:
| The vice presidential candidate isn’t really very important in terms of the outcome of the election. In most cases, whoever wins the presidential election also wins the vice presidential election, though there are a few exceptions to this. The vice presidential candidate can help a candidate or hurt them depending on how their particular combination performs on the campaign trail. A vice presidential candidate can help introduce the candidate to a new demographic, or they can help bring in support from a key voting block that the candidate might not otherwise have access to. The vice presidential candidate can also help boost the campaign of the candidate they are running with. But in terms of the outcome of the election, they both win or they both lose together.

I just saw a picture of a white albino giraffe. Why do animals have albino variations?
### Response:
| Well, white animals are usually born when two recessive genes are inherited in an egg or sperm cell. The picture you saw was likely taken in a zoo, because wild albino animals tend to have poor eyesight, which puts them at a disadvantage. But in captive populations, they are usually treated well and have increased survival rates. So there are tradeoffs, it depends on context.

### Instruction:
Why blood bag that isn't completely filled up cannot be used?
### Response:
| There are indeed many strict guidelines around the handling of blood. For example, all blood bags in the U.S. must be labeled as either “Packed RBCs” or “Packed WBCs,” for packed red blood cells or packed white blood cells, respectively. If the blood bag is labeled “Packed RBCs” (as opposed to “Packed WBCs”), then the blood bag can be used only for transfusions of packed red blood cells. A bag labeled “Packed RBC” can’t be used to treat patients with certain specific infections or genetic conditions, because the blood in the bag may contain the infective agent or disease-causing gene material, respectively. Thus, if blood bag isn't labeled properly, it can't be used for transfusions, or it cannot be used for treating certain patients.

Is child support taken right out of people's check?
### Response:
| Yes, child support payments are taken right out of people's checks.

When the person receiving the support receives a child support payment, it will be sent to them. They can then use the money for things like food, clothing and housing for their children.

What is the biggest mansion in the U.S.?
### Response:
| Mansion is a word that means a “large, luxurious home, especially one built on a grand scale”. “Palace” is another word that could be used to describe a large and luxurious house.
The word “mansion” tends to be used for houses that are relatively modest, with maybe a few fancy cars in the garage.
The biggest house in the U.S. is the White House, also known as the Executive Mansion, but it’s not exactly a “mansion”.
The next biggest is a hotel. You might have heard of it; it’s called the Ritz Carlton in Chicago.
The third largest mansion in the country is the Breakers, a seaside resort in Newport, Rhode Island. It was built in 1895, and used to be a hotel. There are tours of it.
The last mansion on the list is the Castle. It was built in Newport in 1881. It was designed by Andrew Jackson Downing, and renovated by John Russell Pope.

### Instruction:
What is the history behind marijuana in the US. I've heard different reasons for why its illegal.
### Response:
| To understand why marijuana is illegal in the United States, you need to understand the historical context of the situation. The earliest federal law enforcement action involving marijuana was the Marijuana Tax Act of 1937, also known as the 1937 Reefer Madness Act. The act was sponsored by one of the most prominent conservative politicians of the time, Representative Henry D. Wright, who claimed that marijuana was dangerous and that it led users to commit violent crimes.
This was an important bill for the government at the time, as the Great Depression had hit the country hard. The timing of the bill's passage was also significant, as it came in the middle of FDR's first term, when the New Deal efforts seemed to be gaining traction. The bill was very controversial, but it managed to pass.
From 1937 onward, the situation regarding marijuana stayed pretty constant. At the federal level, marijuana was viewed as a dangerous drug and its possession and use were heavily regulated. In certain states, marijuana was legalized for medical or recreational purposes, but there was still strong opposition to this from the federal government. For instance, in 2012, Colorado and Washington state legalized marijuana for recreational use, but the federal government has still not accepted these states' choice. The federal government still

### Instruction:
Can you explain what is involved in a mechanic making a car repair estimate?
### Response:
| A mechanic can provide an estimate for a car repair by using a small device to scan the car, which is called a “scan tool” and also by putting down some markings on a piece of paper called a “estimate form”. The scan tool is used to “scan” the car, which is to collect information about the parts of the car that need to be fixed. This information is used to estimate the cost of the repair, which is the amount of money the car owner will need to pay for the repair. An estimate form has boxes that the mechanic can fill in with information from the scan tool and the estimate, as well as a signature space.

How can I make coated pretzels?
### Response:
| Coated pretzels are prepared by slathering pretzels with a combination of dry ingredients, including yeast and bicarbonate of soda (baking soda). In a large bowl, mix the following dry ingredients:
- 2 cups sugar
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1 tablespoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground allspice
Next, in a large pot add 2 quarts (8 cups) of water, and bring it to a boil. Then prepare the pretzels in the following order:
- Place 1.5 cups of the dry ingredients in a large bowl, then add 1 cup of the hot water. Mix to make a dough, and let cool for 5 minutes.
- Then form the dough into a ball. Break off walnut-size pieces, and make each into a ball. Roll each ball into a small circle about 3/4-inch thick. Drop each round, one by one, into the hot water. As the pretzels float to the top, they’ll need to be flipped over every few seconds to prevent them from burning.

I like to host guests at my home from time to time, and I am gathering recipes of different dishes and drinks to keep things interesting. I am interested in trying some Sicilian dishes. Can you give me a recipe for Sicilian Blood Orange Salad?
### Response:
| Sure! The ingredients you’ll need are blood oranges, kalamata olives, capers, olive oil, and pine nuts. You can just go ahead and buy these and use them, although if you prefer you can substitute things you already have at home. Here’s an idea of the process: you’ll need to slice the blood oranges, chop the kalamata olives, and soak the capers in water for at least fifteen minutes to remove the saltiness. Add a generous drizzle of olive oil and pour the mixture into a large bowl. Sprinkle on the pine nuts and add some sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper. You can even add some crumbled dried oregano if you’d like, to spice it up. Once everything is all tossed together, you’ll be all set to serve.

What is the difference between meteors and meteorites?
### Response:
| Meteors occur in the atmosphere when small particles enter the Earth’s atmosphere from space, usually from comets or other asteroids. They often glow brightly as they heat up during re-entry, and typically they burn up and disappear before they reach the surface. Meteorites are larger space rocks which actually make it all the way to earth and hit the surface. They are usually significantly more massive than meteors, and unlike meteors they are not completely destroyed during re-entry and are able to survive to hit the surface of the earth. Once they hit the ground, they are called meteorites.

To really understand the design process though, you’ll need to pick one of those methods and follow a tutorial. Here’s an example.

What is the healthiest nut for you to eat?
### Response:
| Hmm this is a very interesting and complex question, since different nuts have different properties and benefits. Specifically there are many nutrients and other health benefits associated with nuts, these include vitamins, minerals, healthy fats, and fiber. In general nuts are very healthy for you, and provide a wide range of important nutrients. So in terms of overall health benefits, all nuts are good, with no one nut being clearly superior to the others, they all have unique strengths and weaknesses. However certain nuts are healthier than others due to particular factors. For example walnuts have the highest levels of omega-3 fatty acids, which are beneficial for heart health. Almonds are especially good for providing calcium and vitamin E, while cashews are particularly high in magnesium. And pistachios are especially nutritious due to their high levels of antioxidants. Overall nuts are a very nutritious and healthy food, and I would say they are all worth including in your diet.

Can you tell me how to make an origami swan?
### Response:
| Sure! To make an origami swan, you will first need to fold a square piece of paper in half, to form two wings. Then fold the wings so they meet in the center, one on top of the other. To make the body of the swan, fold the wings in half again, and place the resulting shape inside the wings. You will then fold the wings around the body to create the head and neck of the swan, and fold the wings again to form the tail. It’s a pretty easy design, and once you have the parts folded correctly, the assembly is simple.

How do you know when it's time to replace your kitchen sponge?
### Response:
| When your kitchen sponge becomes worn out or doesn’t clean dishes as well as it used to, it’s time to replace it. You can tell when your sponge is no longer very effective at cleaning, because it will start losing its absorbency and will become difficult to clean with, and will also likely start to smell or feel unpleasant. At that point, it’s a good idea to replace the sponge with a new one, to get a clean, fresh sponge that is better at cleaning.

From the passage mention the years in which Virat Kohli won a trophy. Display the results in comma separated format.
Virat Kohli (Hindi pronunciation: [ʋɪˈɾɑːʈ ˈkoːɦli] (listen); born 5 November 1988) is an Indian international cricketer and the former captain of the Indian national cricket team who plays as a right-handed batsman for Royal Challengers Bangalore in the IPL and for the Delhi in Indian domestic cricket. Widely regarded as one of the greatest batsmen of all time,[4] Kohli holds the records for scoring most runs in T20 internationals and in the IPL. In 2020, the International Cricket Council named him the male cricketer of the decade. Kohli has also contributed to a number of India's successes, including winning the 2011 World Cup and the 2013 Champions trophy.
Born and raised in New Delhi, Kohli trained at the West Delhi Cricket Academy and started his youth career with the Delhi Under-15 team. He made his international debut in 2008 and quickly became a key player in the ODI team and later made his Test debut in 2011. In 2013, Kohli reached the number one spot in the ICC rankings for ODI batsmen for the first time. During 2014 T20 World Cup, he set a record for the most runs scored in the tournament. In 2018, he achieved yet another milestone, becoming the world's top-ranked Test batsman, making him the only Indian cricketer to hold the number one spot in all three formats of the game. His form continued in 2019, when he became the first player to score 20,000 international runs in a single decade. In 2021, Kohli made the decision to step down as the captain of the Indian national team for T20Is, following the T20 World Cup and in early 2022 he stepped down as the captain of the Test team as well.

Why do you like ballet so much?
### Response:
| Ballet is a true form of art. I enjoy taking ballet classes because we always dance with beautiful piano music during the floor and barre exercises. It is so relaxing when my body naturally dances with classical music. Ballet has some rigid rules when conducting certain movements, but it truly can be creative. Anyone at any age can attend a ballet class, and can create his or her own piece of ballet dance.
Many people say Ballet is an intensive sport, because one often gets very sweaty after taking a ballet class. It is true that ballet is a good exercise for anyone who takes the class or performs on a stage. But because of the beautiful music that comes along during the classes, we/ballet dancers do not feel as tired as going to a gym or running a marathon. The music helps us forget about the soreness in muscles. Our bodies are as light as feathers during turns and leaps. |

Can cats play the piano?
### Response:
| Cats can’t play instruments or create music, but there are many examples of people making music in the company of cats. Cat-influenced music like “Cat Piano (Instrumental Version)” often combines snippets of cat sounds with music, thus it is sometimes said that “cats play the piano” in a metaphorical sense. A cat sitting next to the piano paw pressing keys can definitely make piano music, though cats typically don’t have the manual dexterity required to play an instrument like a piano or harp. Cats can also imitate the sounds that they hear, but they aren’t exactly playing music on purpose, so some people refer to this as “playing the piano” metaphorically.

How do you recognize email spam?
### Response:
| Spam is an email that is sent indiscriminately, without an established relationship with the recipient, or containing unsolicited advertisements, offers, or other commercial messages. Email spam is typically sent in large numbers, rapidly mass distributed to large lists of recipients, and often contains misleading subject lines or confusing embedded links attempting to soliciting engagement or require unnecessary private information. To discern legitimate emails from spam I recommend a combination of basic principles, including establishing your own good digital hygiene through careful security practices including reliable email account settings, verification, and filtering practices. These include:
-using a reputable email provider with proper security standards
-creating a robust and unique email account to prevent exploitation
-using a strong password, and a password manager
-using strong email account authentication, for checking emails securely directly from the provider as much as possible
-restricting accounts to trusted senders only, using spam filters and other email filtering tools which track email发送绑定ip和反拆受信箱
-forwarding suspicious or unwanted emails to unlikely or unsolicited content to your provider or the relevant spam reporting and content monitoring systems, so that they may be removed for the good of the community
-reviewing your email settings often, and periodically

Make sure they have warm soil and water to grow in, you want it to be really warm but not hot. Also make sure the soil doesn’t dry out, you want the soil to be moist. You can grow them either in the ground or in a pot. In a container you’ll want to take a large container, like a six- or eight-inch container, and fill it with a soil mixture of soil and moss, then start with one or two shoots. You want the soil mixture to be damp but not soaking wet, you want it to be moist. Then set the container in a warm place, like a kitchen counter or something, and keep the soil moist but not soaking wet. You’ll want to keep the soil moist but not soggy or wet, you want the soil to be damp, but not wet. And you’ll want to position the shoots in the soil so that they grow straight up.

### Instruction:
Please summarize Sinclair's argument in this paragraph for why longer lifespans will not lead to overpopulation.
A review for Boston Magazine called Sinclair “one of science’s most controversial figures” and said many in the scientific community were skeptical of claims he made about human longevity. University of Alabama biology professor Steven N. Austad said, “David is a good friend, but I do think he’s been guilty of making excessive claims.”[3] Writing in Archives of Gerontology and Geriatrics,[4] Charles Brenner summarized that Lifespan has "become an influential source of misinformation on longevity, featuring counterfactual claims about longevity genes being conserved between yeast and humans, the existence of supposed activators of these genes, and claimed successful age reversal in mice based on partial reprogramming." In a 2019 interview, Sinclair dismissed the idea that longer lifespans could lead to overpopulation. "Population growth will level off within the next couple of decades, and healthier people are having fewer children," Sinclair said. "The global population is already stabilizing, and in many advanced countries going down, so people’s fear that the world will be overpopulated with frail old people is completely wrong."[5]
### Response:
| Based on this paragraph, Sinclair is not concerned with the risk of overpopulation even if lifespans become longer. His rationale is the healthier people are having fewer children and so the population is going down in many advanced countries. |

Can you write me a short poem about roses?
### Response:
| Fine, here’s a short poem about roses:
Roses are red, roses are sweet,
Their beauty is fleeting, their scent divine.
They bloom in the spring, and are lovely to see,
Their delicate petals are touchable but not for me.
So enjoy this brief gift of the flower in bloom,
Take delight in their delicate grace,
But don’t pluck them or pick them, for they must surely die,
They need to remain untamed and beautiful, free to fly.

I bought some coconuts at the store thinking that they would be easy enough to open, but I can't do it. What is the easiest method?
### Response:
| Coconuts can be tricky to open if you don't have the right tools. You have a few options: I would recommend first purchasing a coconut opener, such as this one, which is inexpensive and will make opening coconuts a breeze. Alternatively, you could try hammering the coconut shell -- this is more difficult, but you can see a video here showing you how to do it. You can also use a few different knives with varying degrees of difficulty -- a vegetable peeler, a sharp knife, or even a hammer and a screwdriver. Of all these options, I think the easiest, safest, and most efficient method would definitely be the coconut opener.

Who introduced the concept of the electric field and what is it?
The concept of the electric field was introduced by Michael Faraday. An electric field is created by a charged body in the space that surrounds it, and results in a force exerted on any other charges placed within the field. The electric field acts between two charges in a similar manner to the way that the gravitational field acts between two masses, and like it, extends towards infinity and shows an inverse square relationship with distance. However, there is an important difference. Gravity always acts in attraction, drawing two masses together, while the electric field can result in either attraction or repulsion. Since large bodies such as planets generally carry no net charge, the electric field at a distance is usually zero. Thus gravity is the dominant force at distance in the universe, despite being much weaker.
An electric field generally varies in space and its strength at any one point is defined as the force (per unit charge) that would be felt by a stationary, negligible charge if placed at that point. The conceptual charge, termed a 'test charge', must be vanishingly small to prevent its own electric field disturbing the main field and must also be stationary to prevent the effect of magnetic fields. As the electric field is defined in terms of force, and force is a vector, having both magnitude and direction, so it follows that an electric field is a vector field.
The study of electric fields created by stationary charges is called electrostatics. The field may be visualised by a set of imaginary lines whose direction at any point is the same as that of the field. This concept was introduced by Faraday, whose term 'lines of force' still sometimes sees use. The field lines are the paths that a point positive charge would seek to make as it was forced to move within the field; they are however an imaginary concept with no physical existence, and the field permeates all the intervening space between the lines. Field lines emanating from stationary charges have several key properties: first, that they originate at positive charges and terminate at negative charges; second, that they must enter any good conductor at right angles, and third, that they may never cross nor close in on themselves.
### Response:
| The concept of the electric field was introduced by Michael Faraday. An electric field is created by a charged body in the space that surrounds it, and results in a force exerted on any other charges placed within the field. |

Why is South Korea an open, capitalistic western country while North Korea is a closed off dictatorship?
### Response:
| The two Koreas have traditionally had very different political systems. From 1945 until the early 1990s, South Korea was ruled by a democratically elected government, while North Korea was ruled by a dictator. Since the late 1990s, the two countries have switched roles. While the South has remained largely democratic and open, the North has become a dictatorship that has isolated the country from the international community.

What factors determine the price of gas?
### Response:
| Some gas stations have some choice in the price they charge, but the gas price overall can be very volatile. This might depend on whether there’s an international political crisis, or there might be a local or national disaster, but also often gas prices change very quickly based on fluctuations in the supply and demand. As supply and demand change, the price can fluctuate dramatically.

My central heating unit went out yesterday and I am trying to figure out how to keep my home warm during the next few cold nights until it gets repaired. Any suggestions other than multiple layers of clothing and blankets?
### Response:
| Sure, there are a few simple, low-cost ways to do this. First, a heat lamp is a common way to keep an extra warm space without requiring a lot of energy. Another option is to use a small electric space heater, which will also work well and won’t cost very much.
You might also be interested in trying a fireplace, which is not as common today, but is still sometimes useful for adding a warm atmosphere and staying warm. You could get a cheap portable propane fireplace, but if you’re willing to put in some work to install a permanent fireplace, a wood-burning fireplace might be what you’re looking for.
You could also just use an extra layer of blankets, although this is the most costly option. You might also try to make a thermos or mug warmer by wrapping the container in some tin foil, putting it in a regular container of water, and putting the whole thing inside a ziplock bag, so that you can safely use the steam from the hot water to warm up the object itself.
There’s also the option to wear very many layers, so that each layer can be removed as you begin to overheat, which

Is the California Condor making a comeback?
### Response:
| Yes, the California Condor population has been in decline for over a century, but it is now experiencing a major comeback. The main cause of decline was the widespread use of DDT as an insecticide. This chemical has poisoned their eggs and caused miscarriages, and in turn led to the extinction of the species. However, now that DDT is banned in most of the country, the species is now having a resurgence. The Washington Post recently ran an article about the rare California Condor’s recovery. You might enjoy reading it.

### Instruction:
My truck went deeper in the sand than it should have and got stuck. How can I get it out?
### Response:
| Yes this is a very common issue in off-road situations, and there are a few general methods that are commonly used to get trucks unstuck. These include digging out the sand beneath the truck with various tools like shovels or snow-plow attachments, using hydraulic-powered traction aids like winches or chains, or applying extra engine power to spin the wheels and create a “rocker” effect that pulls the truck out of the sand. The most effective method will depend on a variety of factors including the specific type of vehicle and terrain, and your own skill and experience with the tools and techniques. Here are some examples:
- If the vehicle is at low angle in reasonably firm sand, it will be most effective to simply dig out the sand beneath the tires with shovels or a snow-plow attachment. This requires some physical effort, but produces quick results.
- Using a winch and cable will be more effective if there is sufficient traction available to anchor the winch (such as using stakes pounded into the ground), but this method will require additional equipment and knowledge.
- Applying more engine power is useful if the vehicle is not too deeply entrenched, but this technique requires very precise coordination of gear-shifts and engine throttle. The “rocker” effect can be greatly improved with the use of specialized rocker-blocks attached to the drive-shafts.
I hope this information is useful, and

What are the health benefits to hot weather and climate?
### Response:
| Hmm... well, for one, in hot weather we want to stay hydrated, especially in water-scarce environments. That’s because we lose a lot of moisture through evaporation and have to compensate. However, in addition to just drinking water, when it’s hot, it’s probably better to focus on liquids that are electrolyte rich and low in sugar, such as water with lemon or with electrolyte tablets.

What's the origins of classical music?
### Response:
| Classical music is a European musical tradition that began in the 17th and 18th centuries. The defining features of this style are a homophonic texture (the melody is the most prominent element) and a tonal harmonic “classical” system (using major and minor scales). Many musical forms in the classical tradition have become the standard repertoire of the western art music tradition. Many classical works were written in the form of symphonies, concertos, chamber music such as string quartets and piano solo pieces, as well as opera and vocal music such as masses.

What are the components of a passive crossover?
A passive crossover is an electronic circuit that uses a combination of one or more resistors, inductors and capacitors. These components are combined to form a filter network and are most often placed between the full frequency-range power amplifier and the loudspeaker drivers to divide the amplifier's signal into the necessary frequency bands before being delivered to the individual drivers. Passive crossover circuits need no external power beyond the audio signal itself, but have some disadvantages: they may require larger inductors and capacitors due to power handling requirements. Unlike active crossovers which include a built-in amplifier, passive crossovers have an inherent attenuation within the passband, typically leading to a reduction in damping factor before the voice coil[30]

What is the current recommendation for a healthy diet?
### Response:
| The current guidance on eating a healthy diet consists of eating a balance of healthy foods. Most of your meal should consist of a mix of fruits and vegetables, taking into account that potatoes are not considered to count as a vegetable as they have a negative impact on blood sugar. A quarter of your meal should consist of whole grains, things like whole wheat, quinoa, oats, brown rice and things made from them such as whole wheat bread and pasta. The other quarter of your plate should consist of proteins such as fish, poultry, beans and nuts. You should limit red meat and avoid processed meat such as bacon and sausages. You should choose to cook or dress your food with healthy plant oils, such as olive oil or sunflower oil and avoid partially hydrogenated oils which contain trans fats. You should drink water, coffee or tea, avoid sugary drinks and limit fruit juice to only one small glass a day. |

Extract all the names of people in this paragraph on the twelves apostles of Jesus, in a bullet point list.
The three Synoptic Gospels record the circumstances in which some of the disciples were recruited, Matthew only describing the recruitment of Simon, Andrew, James, and John.
Despite Jesus only briefly requesting that they join him, they are all described as immediately consenting and abandoning their nets to do so. The immediacy of their consent has been viewed as an example of divine power, although this is not stated in the text. Another explanation is that some of the disciples may have heard of Jesus beforehand, as implied by the Gospel of John, which states that Andrew was a disciple of John the Baptist, and that he and his brother started following Jesus as soon as Jesus had been baptized.[10]
Matthew describes Jesus meeting James and John, also fishermen and brothers, very shortly after recruiting Simon and Andrew. Matthew and Mark identify James and John as sons of Zebedee. Luke adds to Matthew and Mark that James and John worked as a team with Simon and Andrew. Matthew states that at the time of the encounter, James and John were repairing their nets, but readily joined Jesus without hesitation.[11]
This parallels the accounts of Mark and Luke, but Matthew implies that the men have also abandoned their father (since he is present in the boat they abandon behind them), and Carter feels this should be interpreted to mean that Matthew's view of Jesus is one of a figure rejecting the traditional patriarchal structure of society, where the father had command over his children; most scholars, however, just interpret it to mean that Matthew intended these two to be seen as even more devoted than the other pair, or that Jesus expected the imminent coming of the kingdom.[12]
The Synoptic Gospels go on to describe that later in Jesus' ministry he noticed a tax collector in his booth. The tax collector, called Matthew in Matthew 9:9, and Levi in Mark 2:14 and Luke 5:27, is asked by Jesus to become one of his disciples. Matthew/Levi is stated to have accepted and then invited Jesus for a meal with his friends. Tax collectors were seen as villains in Jewish society, and the Pharisees are described as asking Jesus why he is having a meal with such disreputable people. The reply Jesus gave is now well known: "it is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance."[13]

What is John Ellis water and the bond angle of water?
### Response:
| Traditional tap and purified water has a hydrogen bond angle of 104 - 104.5 degrees. John Ellis water takes standard tap or purified water and changes the hydrogen bond angle of it from 104 degrees to 113 - 114 degrees. Changing the bond angle is done using multi-pass distillation by rapidly heating and cooling the water inside the boiling chamber.
Water consumed with a bond angle above 108° degrees eliminates the effect of potential pathogens in our food supply (e.g. bacterium, viruses, or other microorganisms that can cause disease) from affecting our bodies because more oxygen from the water mixes with the superior blood flow to all the extremities of our body. The larger bond angle enables our bodies to use more of the oxygen present in the water. |

How do you prevent sleep paralysis?
### Response:
| Sleep paralysis can involve a period before falling asleep or drifting off to sleep when it feels like you’re awake, but your mind and body are paralyzed, and you can’t move or speak. It’s a very frightening experience, and can be accompanied by hallucinations. A number of factors can contribute to sleep paralysis, including stress, illness, oxygen deprivation, and certain medications. Some sleep paralysis can be triggered by psychological trauma, but this is relatively rare. The vast majority of cases don’t have a physical cause or a single trigger.
If sleep paralysis happens, most people are able to eventually fall back asleep and their sleep will be more peaceful. If you’re very frightened by sleep paralysis and worry it’s caused by a significant underlying medical problem, you can see your medical doctor to make sure everything is OK. If you do have an underlying medical condition, your doctor will help you treat this, and this will likely reduce the frequency or occurrence of sleep paralysis. In addition, to better protect your sleep, you can avoid alcoholic drinks before bedtime since these can increase the likelihood of sleep paralysis. Instead, try starting your bedtime routine earlier so you can enter a deeper sleep and get more restful sleep. Some people find that

What is the best way to win ebay auctions? are there any techniques I should know about?
### Response:
| Well, one thing to keep in mind is that the auction market is mostly composed of people who are desperate to buy, but they’re usually on the low end of the pricing spectrum, meaning they’ll be willing to buy a lower price than people who are in the market to sell, and will ultimately end up having to buy for that low price. So generally, to “win” an auction, you should bid the lowest price you think you can get away with, since there will be other people bidding on the item, and you don’t want to be outbid by some other customer at the last minute, and have to pay more than you wanted. If you’re willing to pay up for a particularly desirable item, then you might even get lucky and the highest bidder will back out before the auction ends.

| Concrete is used to build roads, houses, and various other structures. It’s made by mixing wet cement with sand and other aggregates, such as crushed rock and ground glass.
You typically pour concrete into forms, which are made of wood or other rigid material, to give the concrete the shape you want. There are many different designs for forms, some of which are shown in the pictures below. After the concrete sets, you remove the forms and the hardened concrete is then installed.
You typically pour concrete by hand or with a concrete pump. A concrete pump will also pump the mixture of water and cement, though they are often electric or motorized. In general it’s recommended that you pour about two to three inches of concrete at a time.

I'm trying to decide whether to buy a gym membership. What should I consider?
### Response:
| A lot of people find they fit their workouts into their lives more easily if they have access to a gym membership, compared to trying to use exercise DVDs at home or working out on their own in their living spaces. But it’s important to think through some of the costs involved in joining a gym, like monthly membership fees, parking costs and costs of purchasing workout clothing. A typical gym membership will cost at least a few hundred dollars per year but may involve higher costs. It may be helpful to shop around for a low-cost membership or consider whether you can find less expensive places to work out, instead.

What the five love languages?
According to Chapman, the five "love languages" are: words of affirmation (compliments), quality time, receiving gifts, acts of service, and physical touch.
Examples are given from his counseling practice, as well as questions to help determine one's own love languages. According to Chapman's theory, each person has one primary and one secondary love language.
Chapman suggests that to discover another person's love language, one must observe the way they express love to others, and analyze what they complain about most often and what they request from their significant other most often. He theorizes that people tend to naturally give love in the way that they prefer to receive love, and better communication between couples can be accomplished when one can demonstrate caring to the other person in the love language the recipient understands.
An example would be: if a husband's love language is acts of service, he may be confused when he does the laundry and his wife does not perceive that as an act of love, viewing it as simply performing household duties, because the love language she comprehends is words of affirmation (verbal affirmation that he loves her). She may try to use what she values, words of affirmation, to express her love to him, which he would not value as much as she does. If she understands his love language and mows the lawn for him, he perceives it in his love language as an act of expressing her love for him; likewise, if he tells her he loves her, she values that as an act of love.
### Response:
| The five love languages include words of affirmation, quality time, receiving gifts, acts of service, and physical touch. |

Does spark provide date & time when a particular event is received in the structured streaming?
### Response:
| Not directly. The source of the data is responsible for event time, the “arrival” time is typically the timestamp from the message server source you are reading from (Kafka, Kinesis, etc.) and the “processing” time can be inserted when processing the incomming data stream using the functions package current_timestamp function. https://spark.apache.org/docs/latest/api/scala/index.html#org.apache.spark.sql.functions$ This isn’t exactly when Spark received the data from the server but is close and will be grouped by trigger interval. Note that this function can not be used when in continuous mode. https://spark.apache.org/docs/latest/structured-streaming-programming-guide.html#supported-queries |

I need a good idea for snacks to serve at a Mexican-themed work party that we are having to celebrate the opening of our new office in Mexico. I have no idea what I should make. Can you give me some ideas?
### Response:
| Sure, here are a few ideas:
-Tortilla chips and queso dip (this works even if you serve vegetarian, vegan, or low-fat versions of queso)
-Fresh guacamole
-Sour cream and chipotle salsa (see recipe)
-Horchata (tomato-based drink)
-Tamales (see recipe)
-Gorditas (fried bread, flavored with chipotle)
-Chopped avocado served with lime juice on top
-Classic black bean dip
-Taco rice or quinoa with chopped tomato, onions, and garnish
-Chorizo or breakfast sausages
-Salsa
Sour cream and chipotle salsa
Get a chipotle chile, a jalapeño chile and some tomatillos out of the fridge. Drain their liquid and break away their skin. Roughly chop the chiles and put them in the bowl of a food processor with the roughly chopped tomatillos and a bit of the liquid from its container. Pulse until the mixture is relatively smooth. Add salt to taste and stir in sour cream.
Tamales
Get a package of corn husks and a strip of pork. Soak the corn husks in boiled water for at least 30 minutes. Sprinke the pork with salt and cook until well done. Once soft and tender, chop it into small chunks. Sauté finely chopped chiles in the same pan you used for the pork until it’s softened and heated through, stirring all the while. Take a hot cook and fold a few gauze-like strips of corn husk over one another and place about a tablespoon of cooked pork on one end. Add 2 tablespoons of the vegetable-pork mixture. Cover with a new strip of corn husk. Continue this process until you have filled all your corn husks. Fold the top and bottom over each other, then fold the shorter sides together to secure and wrap each “package” of tamales. Steam for 30 minutes.
