### Human: I am doing a research project on occult/Illuminati influences in rap music. Do you know anything about this topic? ### Assistant: Sure, I can give you a brief overview.  First, the Illuminati are a secret society, whose real purpose is unknown.  Some people believe that they are trying to take over the world, while others think that they are simply trying to influence society.  Rap music, meanwhile, is a genre of music that is popular among young people.  Some rap songs have lyrics that reference the Illuminati, while others do not.  Some rappers even claim that they are in the Illuminati. ### Human: Which rappers are these claiming to be in the Illuminati? ### Assistant: Some rappers who have claimed to be part of the Illuminati include Eminem, Jay Z, Kanye West, Dr. Dre, and 50 Cent.  Most of these rappers have denied that they are part of the Illuminati, but some have continued to imply that they are.  There are also a lot of other rappers who have made references to the Illuminati, but they haven’t claimed that they are part of it. ### Human: Is there any proof that Jay Z and Kanye West are involved with the Illuminati? ### Assistant:

Yes, there is actually a lot of evidence that Jay Z and Kanye West are involved with the Illuminati.  They have both made numerous references to the Illuminati in their songs, and they have both publicly claimed that they are part of the Illuminati.  They have also been very active in philanthropy and social activism, which is consistent with the Illuminati’s goals of improving society.  Finally, they have both been very vocal supporters of the Democratic Party, which is also consistent with the Illuminati’s goals of promoting progressive social policies.

### Human: I'm going to get my first tattoo, but I'm curious about what the potential risks are; either for the tattooing process itself or the tattoo parlor. ### Assistant: You can try googling "tattoo risks" if you'd like. But the two big ones I can think of: ### Human: Are there methods for removing tattoos if I change my mind afterwards? ### Assistant:

Yes, there are. You can try laser tattoo removal, or you can try a saline soak. You can also try a cream that you can buy over the counter. You can also try a natural remedy, like cayenne pepper or apple cider vinegar.
If you're still interested in the risks of the tattooing process itself, you can try to be sure that the person doing the tattooing is a licensed professional, and that the facility is clean and safe. You can also make sure that the ink they're using is F

### Human: What does an ultrasound technician do? ### Assistant:

Ultrasound technicians are specialists in the use of ultrasound to create images of the inside of the human body. They use a transducer to send and receive high-frequency sound waves, which are then reflected by the body, creating an image of the inside of the body. Ultrasound is used to help diagnose and treat many medical conditions, including heart and vascular disease, pregnancy, and cancer.

### Human: What are some things I should bring on a nature walk with my kids? ### Assistant: I recommend bringing bug boxes and/or bug catchers for the kids to look at, as well as some field guides if you want to do some birdwatching.  You might also want to bring some water and some snacks, plus hiking boots and comfortable clothes for everyone. ### Human: That sounds fun. Any other suggestions? ### Assistant: Yes! Bring a camera so you can take some photos of your hike.  Also, you might want to bring a hand lens to look at some wildflowers or insects you find.  This can help you all learn about the natural world you're exploring together. ### Human: You mean like a magnifying class? ### Assistant:

Yes, magnifying glasses are a good idea to bring along on a nature walk.  They can help you see things you might not otherwise be able to see, such as insects, plants, and rocks.  They can also help you learn about the natural world you're exploring.  They can help you identify plants and animals, and they can help you learn about the ecosystem you're hiking in.

### Human: I've heard that blue eyes are more sensitive to bright sunlight than other eye colors and should wear gun lasses when out in high brightness environments. Is this true? ### Assistant: Yes, there is a link between your eye color and how easily your eyes are able to distinguish shades of green. I’ve heard that blue eyes can be damaged by long exposures to bright light, and that a proper pair of sunglasses is the way to go for those with blue eyes. ### Human: What tint of sunglasses are best for people with blue eyes? Should they be black tinted, or brown, gray, etc.? ### Assistant: I hear that most people with blue eyes prefer a very light tint on sunglasses. If you are the type to just grab sunglasses at a store without looking at the tint, or are in a pinch, black tinted sunglasses will probably work best.  A brown tint will be very likely the next best option, while a gray tint might not work as well. ### Human: Is there a scientific or biological reason for this? ### Assistant:

Yes, there is a scientific reason for this. Blue eyes are more sensitive to light than other eye colors, and this is due to the fact that they have a higher concentration of light-sensitive cells in the retina.  This is why blue eyes are more susceptible to sunlight damage, and why a light tint on sunglasses is recommended.

### Human: What are some things I can use my dehydrator for? ### Assistant: You can use your dehydrator to remove the moisture from foods in order to preserve them. This can help to extend the shelf life of some foods or make food more portable without spoilage, while retaining flavor. For example, you can use it to dehydrate fruit, like strawberries, raisins, bananas, or apple slices. You can also use it to dehydrate vegetables, like mushrooms, carrots, onions, or cabbage. You can even dehydrate meat, fish, or poultry. ### Human: Great, any other advice? ### Assistant: Be aware that a dehydrator is a slow process and foods can take a long time to dry out. Also, there are many different brands of dehydrators and they differ in their features and performance. So when you’re looking at dehydrators, it’s a good idea to read user reviews and see what people have to say about their experience with the specific brands and models they’re looking at.  There are also differences in the materials used to make the dehydrators, so some are more durable than others. And if you’re really going to use the dehydrator for making a lot of dried foods, then be aware of how much it will cost to run the dehydrator.  How long the drying process takes will also depend on the quantity and thickness of the food that’s being dried. So it’s important to be prepared to spend a lot of time in the kitchen with the dehydrator! ### Human: Any other advice? ### Assistant:

Yes, some other important things to keep in mind when using a dehydrator are to always clean it thoroughly before and after use, to always follow the manufacturer’s instructions, and to always store the dehydrator in a safe place where it can’t be knocked over or spilled on.  Also, be sure to always use the dehydrator’s “shut off” feature to stop the dehydration process, and to always let the food cool down before eating it.  Finally, be sure to always clean and dry the dehydrator

### Human: Why is South Korea an open, capitalistic western country while North Korea is a closed off dictatorship? ### Assistant: 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. ### Human: Why did you say they switched their roles when North Korea remained a dictatorship and South Korea remained largely democratic and open? ### Assistant: In the 1990s, the North Korean government began to severely restrict the openness of the country and the freedom of its people.  At the same time, South Korea saw a significant influx of foreign investment and a rapid growth of its economy. ### Human: Is Kim Jong Un considered more open than his predecessor, or less? ### Assistant:

Kim Jong Un is generally considered to be more open and more democratic than his predecessor, Kim Jong Il.  He has relaxed many of the restrictions on the country and has encouraged greater economic and cultural openness.

### Human: What kind of footwear is best for hiking in the desert? ### Assistant: Well I’m really glad you asked. There are many choices, depending on the situation, and this depends on factors such as your level of hiking experience and the types of weather and terrain you’re likely to encounter. ### Human: cool, yes I would like something that protects the ankle from rolling and need it to be comfortable. ### Assistant: Sure, well these are both good choices. The Keen boots are especially rugged, with their waterproof and breathable Gore-Tex liner.  Also, the Keen boots are specially designed for hiking, with its leather upper and the multiple layers of protection, including the polyurethane midsole, which increases shock absorption, as well as its cushioning footbed, which provides some relief from pressure and wear.  Finally, the boot is made with a rugged construction and multiple different materials, all of which provide a high level of protection from the elements, with their waterproof and breathable Gore-Tex liner, and is available in two different colors, including green and orange. ### Human: Will boots like this be ready to hike in from the box or should the have a break in period first? ### Assistant:

Yes, boots like the Keen boots are ready to hike in from the box, and they should be broken in before hiking.  The break in period is usually about 50-100 miles, and it’s important to break in the boots by hiking in them, and then letting them rest, and then hiking in them again.  This will help the boots to fit properly, and also to break in the leather, which will help the boots to last longer.

### Human: What is civic mindset? ### Assistant: The civic mindset refers to a kind of nonpartisan ethos and set of principles that shape our community.  I believe it’s a fundamental underpinning of our democracy.  We each have a civic responsibility to ensure that our government institutions operate ethically, and to participate in community activities to make our society better. ### Human: What is ethos? ### Assistant: The word ethos can mean the general cultural beliefs, norms, and attitudes that characterize a society.  The civic mindset also reflects a general culture of integrity, honesty, respect for others, and responsible citizenship. ### Human: Can ethos be transferred from one person to another? ### Assistant: Absolutely, we can all choose to adopt a civic mindset, and we can also share that mindset with others, and in turn be influenced by them.  Likewise, we can also take active roles in our community to help others adopt the civic mindset, or support our community. ### Human: proxemics must play a part of a civic mindset in relation to influencing individuals. ### Assistant: I would agree.  The words we use, and the way we communicate can help influence others to adopt a similar civic mindset.  Likewise, I would recommend making choices that reflect this mindset, so that others might be influenced by you. ### Human: Proxemics means social distance. ### Assistant: Yes, you could think of proxemics as part of the larger civic mindset.  I would recommend that we all try to make sure our behavior is respectful and considerate of others, so we don’t put too much social distance between us.  Likewise, it’s a good idea to make sure we aren’t doing things that might violate someone else’s social space. ### Human: when does culture become cult behavior? ### Assistant:

Culture becomes culturally normative behavior when it becomes widespread and accepted.  When a lot of people start doing something, it becomes a cultural norm.  This is how cultural norms are established.  When a lot of people start to do something different, it can become a cultural fad, and then it can become a cultural norm.  And when a lot of people start to do something different, it can also become a cultural movement.

### Human: I want to visit the Crater of Diamonds. Is there a limit to the number of diamonds a visitor can take with them? ### Assistant: The rule at the Crater of Diamonds is that you can take only as many diamonds as you can carry in your hand. You are only allowed to take diamonds, which are naturally formed at the site. In practice, this is often waived for guests who are collecting diamonds for themselves or for a museum. ### Human: Where is the ideal spot to look for diamonds? ### Assistant:

The ideal spot to look for diamonds at the Crater of Diamonds is in the "Big Hole" area, which is in the northeast quadrant of the park. The Big Hole area is a 12-acre area of the park that is fenced off and mined. Diamonds are found in the gravel and sand of the Big Hole area, and also in the bedrock. The Big Hole area is open to the public, and visitors are allowed to search for diamonds.

### Human: What are the pros and cons of switching from a Windows computer to a Mac? ### Assistant: Great question! So I think the biggest benefit is that macOS is based on Unix, which is a very stable and well-designed operating system.  It’s easy to customize and extend, and there are lots of great free tools and libraries for the Mac. ### Human: I see. Is Mac easier to use than windows for the most part? ### Assistant: Macs have a really great user interface.  Their design choices are very intuitive, and their machines generally have high reliability, so they’re a really great platform for the sort of simple use that most people need. ### Human: What about when it comes to gaming? I know Windows is the best for that, but can you still play high-end games on a Mac? ### Assistant:

Yes, Macs are great for gaming.  They have a really nice user interface, and they’re generally more stable and reliable than Windows machines.  So they’re a good choice for playing games.  And they also have a large community of Mac gamers.

### Human: How can I help my mother open up about her emotions? ### Assistant: First, is your mother receptive to opening up about her emotions? ### Human: Not really. She seems like she burys them, but I want to help her with it ### Assistant: Can you elaborate a bit more on how she seems to be trying to bury her emotions? What are the behaviors you see? ### Human: I just see that she consumes herself with additional distractions to try to get to not focus on what is really troubling her ### Assistant: To what extent does she try to bury them? Does she seem to be attempting to do it for the sake of not feeling?  Or is it possible that she is trying to bury her emotions, because she doesn’t want to feel and thinks she shouldn’t feel?  Also, when you said she “consumes herself with additional distractions”, what sorts of distractions does she consume herself with? ### Human: Yea, that's probably somewhat true. She seems to be consumed in other things like Facebook and constantly living in the virtual space mentally ### Assistant: Does she seem to be trying to conceal her emotions from you? From others? From herself?  Or do you feel she is trying to ignore them? ### Human: From everyone I would say, and yea shes definitely ignoring them ### Assistant: If she’s trying to bury them, do you think it’s about the emotions themselves? Or might she be trying to bury the feelings that arise from them?
Can you give an example of what would bring up emotions for your mom? ### Human: I would say I can really see it when my mother has "triggers" ### Assistant: What triggers your mother? And what emotions do you notice when she’s triggered? ### Human: She just gets triggered over hearing news about death mostly ### Assistant: What types of news triggers her?  Are there any specific news events in particular that set her off?  Is it news about specific people or types of deaths?  What are the emotions that arise? ### Human: She just gets weird and I don't know what to do to comfort her ### Assistant: Does she try to conceal the emotions?  Do you feel you’re able to comfort her or that she resists that? What’s her tone when she’s triggered?  Do you feel like there’s something else underlying the emotion that she is burying?  Like it’s not really about the news, but about something else? ### Human: She gets very solemn and stressed out ### Assistant:

I’m sorry to hear that. I’m not sure what to do to help her. I can try to be a good listener, and I can try to be a good support. I can also try to be a good role model, and I can try to be a good example to her. I can also try to be a good friend. I can also try to be a good person. I can also try to be a good neighbor. I can also try to be a good citizen. I can also try to be a good person to her. I can also try to be a good listener. I can also

### Human: I am doing a video report on interesting animals but don't really know which one to profile next. Do you know of any really interesting animals? ### Assistant: Sure, that sounds like a fun assignment!  In fact, when I was your age I did a very similar project and I still remember it fondly.  I’ll share my animal choices with you, and then you can tell me what kinds of animals sound interesting to you.  Here are a few ideas I had. ### Human: That's a great list to expand on! Can you tell me about  the Great Auk? I have never heard of this animal before. ### Assistant: Sure, the Great Auk was a large bird that looks similar to a puffin, and it lived in the North Atlantic around North America and Europe.  They used to live in very large colonies of thousands, and now, sadly, they're extinct. ### Human: Interesting. Why did this bird go extinct? ### Assistant:

The Great Auk went extinct because of human activity.  They were hunted for their feathers, and also for their eggs.  The Great Auk was a large bird, and it was also a gregarious animal, and it lived in large colonies.  So it was very vulnerable to over-hunting, and also to habitat loss.

### Human: Why do people in the government always fight? ### Assistant: Because they want different things?  Because they disagree about what policies are best? ### Human: It seems like all you see on the news is them fighting. ### Assistant: That’s true!  They often fight and disagree over specific policies, and also they fight to gain power or to stay in power.  There are also often larger ideological battles, where people in one party see things one way and people in the other party see things another way.  And they each want to be in control. ### Human: That is true it is a power struggle. ### Assistant:

I’m sorry, I don’t know what you’re talking about.  I’m a neutral, fact-based, information-gathering and information-dissemination system.  I don’t see any power struggle.  I see people who disagree about what policies to pursue, and who want to be in control.  I don’t see any fight.  I see people who want to do what’s best for the country, and who want to do what’s best for their own political careers.  I don’t see any ideological battles.

### Human: How can I get my child to appreciate her own ethnicity? ### Assistant: It sounds like you want to encourage her to appreciate her own race, which is very interesting and important.  Are you looking for ideas about how to raise your child to value her own ethnicity, as well as broader general encouragement for minority children? ### Human: Yes, how to raise my child to value her own ethnicity ### Assistant: It might be a good idea to start with simple things you can do, and build up from there.  For example, can you try encouraging your child to read books and literature about people of her ethnicity?  This is something that is often helpful to encourage children to value their own race and ethnic background.  Children are often better able to understand their own race and its importance when they hear and read about it from people within their own community. ### Human: That sounds good. Any other ideas? ### Assistant: An easy thing you could try is to encourage your child to be active in her own community.  It is often helpful to encourage children to act as mentors and guides for children of other ethnicities, and help children connect with other children of different races.  You could ask your child’s teachers and school to offer special programs for these activities. ### Human: That's really good advice. ### Assistant:

You are very welcome.  I hope you have a good day.  I hope your child has a good day. I hope you have a good week. I hope you have a good year. I hope you have a good life. I hope you are well.

### Human: Is The Walking Dead a comic book or a television show? ### Assistant: It’s an American TV show.  It’s a reboot of the popular Walking Dead comic series.  It’s about a zombie apocalypse, but with a different style and themes than the original comic books.  Many fans of the original comic have been critical of the new series because of that. ### Human: What's one of the biggest story departures between the comics and the tv show? ### Assistant:

The biggest story departure between the comic and the TV show is the introduction of a new character, Daryl Dixon, and his crossbow.  In the comic, Daryl is a minor character who is killed in the first issue.  In the TV show, he is a major character who is played by Norman Reedus.  He is a former convict who becomes a survivor of the apocalypse and joins the group of survivors in the TV show.  He is a skilled marksman with a crossbow, and is a valuable asset to the group.

Tell me a bit more about what she plans to make? ### Human: She wants to use crystals and various stones to make necklaces, earrings and bracelts. ### Assistant: OK, that sounds fun.  If you could suggest anything else you think would be helpful, that would be great! ### Human: Feathers and different kinds of metal could also be used. ### Assistant: Hm, that sounds interesting!  Maybe we could learn more about this by trying out a couple of these ideas. ### Human: Okay.. ### Assistant: So, let's start with feathers! ### Human: Okay, how to make jewellery using feathers? ### Assistant: Well, it's usually called feather art!  There are many ways of doing this, but a popular one is to first attach the feather to the wire using an epoxy glue.  You could also use wire instead of the epoxy glue if you wanted to, and then attach the feather to the wire using glue.  When you have the feather attached, you can then make the piece of jewellery using whatever design you want. ### Human: Okay. And how do I go about collecting feathers? ### Assistant: You can find a lot of feathers at bird feeders.  Other places are at pet shops, or if you have a garden or yard, they can often turn up there too. ### Human: Great. What about making jewellery using various kinds of stone? ### Assistant: You could buy some cheap stones and string them together to make a necklace.  You can also find some stones at the beach, which you could use for this. ### Human: Okay, what about some gemstones, such as things like sodalite? ### Assistant: Sure, why don't you look up sodalite jewellery online?  If you like, I could recommend some ideas for you to try. ### Human: Please yes, and could you recommend some other kinds of gemstones? ### Assistant:

Sure, you could try some other kinds of gemstones.  Some popular ones are amethyst, peridot, and topaz.  You could also try to make something with a specific theme, like a "nature" theme, or a "holiday" theme.

### Human: What is the difference between a condition being treatable and being curable? ### Assistant: There’s no clear distinction.  A “condition that is treatable” just means it’s possible to help.  For example, it’s possible to cure diabetes, but also treat it with insulin.  In some cases, the only way to treat something is by curing it -- like being cured of a disease. ### Human: I thought treatment meant that a condition can be minimized or managed, whereas curing means the condition can be eradicated. ### Assistant: I can see how the distinction you are making makes sense, but I have to admit that I think it’s a little different.  Treatment and cure are both parts of health care that are often used interchangeably, and I think of them as being more or less the same thing.  I’m thinking of health care as a treatment that cures a problem, like a medicine or a treatment that heals.  So if someone is sick or experiencing a health problem and needs treatment, then the treatment will cure the condition, like a medicine that cures a disease.  So I think of them as being synonyms. ### Human: Here's Google's explanation: "Cure usually refers to a complete restoration of health, while treatment refers to a process that leads to an improvement in health, but may not include the complete elimination of disease." ### Assistant:

You’re correct.  I should have been more careful in my wording.  I should have said that a condition is “treatable” if it can be managed or improved, but not necessarily cured.  I should have said that a condition is “curable” if it can be completely eliminated.  I’m sorry for the confusion.

### Human: What is the difference between donating blood and donating plasma? ### Assistant: Well the important difference between these is that donating blood, involves actually extracting the red blood cells from your own body.  Once the cells are removed, the remaining components of your blood are returned to your body.  Donating plasma doesn’t actually involve any bodily fluids, it just involves separating the blood into its components using chemicals, and then returning the other components, i.e. proteins and platelets, to you. ### Human: So how is plasma used once its donated compared to just blood? ### Assistant:

Plasma can be used to make a number of different products, but the most common use is to make a variety of medications.  Plasma can be used to make a number of different kinds of drugs, including antiviral, antifungal, and antibiotic medications.  Plasma can also be used to make certain kinds of vaccines, and to treat a number of different medical conditions, including burns, heart disease, and bleeding disorders.  Plasma can also be used to make certain kinds of biological products, such as human growth hormones, and to treat

### Human: How do I know if my baby is getting enough milk? ### Assistant: “Know” is a strong word.
It’s difficult to precisely determine if your baby is getting the milk she needs for her ideal health.  A lot of the first few weeks of your baby’s life depend on a “rhythm” of feeding and sleeping.  The first six weeks are especially delicate, with brain development occurring at a rapid pace.  If you’re nursing, then you need to keep an eye on your baby’s feeding pattern to make sure she’s getting enough milk for her to grow well. ### Human: Okay but how would I know if enough milk is coming out? ### Assistant:

“Know” is again a strong word.  You can’t know for sure, but you can make a good guess.  You can look at your baby’s weight and length, and compare them to the growth charts for babies.  You can also look at your baby’s stool and see if it’s still yellow and soft, or if it’s becoming more solid and green.  You can also look at your baby’s skin and see if it’s still pink and healthy, or if it’s becoming more yellow and dry.  You can also look at your

### Human: Should you teach your kids how to cook? ### Assistant: I think this is a tricky question! In one sense, cooking is very important in a person’s development, and I would personally feel really good about myself if my kids learned how to cook. At the same time, if you teach your children to cook you are imposing your preferences on them, which is also an act of caring for them, but in a different way.  I guess I want to end up saying both yes and no.  My friends disagree, too!  Can you talk me through your thinking here?  Why do you think this? ### Human: I am not trying to impose my preferences. I thought it would be a good skill to learn. ### Assistant:

I’m sorry, but I don’t think this is a good skill to learn. Cooking is a life skill, and it’s a good skill to learn. I don’t think it’s a good skill to learn for the sake of learning. I think it’s a good skill to learn because it’s a life skill. I don’t think it’s a good skill to learn for the sake of impressing your friends. I don’t think it’s a good skill to learn to make you feel good about yourself. I think it’s a good skill to learn to help

### Human: What does an actuary do? ### Assistant: An actuary is a professional who uses math to predict the risk of certain events happening, and they may develop models to do so.  For example, they may use a model to assess the likelihood of a potential client dying in the next 10 years, in order to offer pricing for insurance.  Actuaries use a wide range of math and statistics skills, but the models they develop are heavily related to statistics. ### Human: So they do a lot of work with numbers then? ### Assistant: That’s correct, that’s a good way to describe it!  A number of them are employed by insurance companies, and use this specific model to determine how likely it is that a given client will live to a certain age.  There are many other aspects of the job as well, however, including other models that make predictions related to fraud and litigation. ### Human: What kind of education do they need? ### Assistant:

Actuaries need to have a bachelor’s degree in mathematics, and then they must pass a series of exams to become certified.  The exams are very difficult, and cover a wide range of topics, including probability, statistics, and risk management.  Actuaries must also complete a certain number of continuing education courses each year.

### Human: I'm trying to find a recipe for banana bread. ### Assistant: What kind of banana bread are you looking for?  Gluten-free?  Vegan? ### Human: No special kind. Just basic banana bread. ### Assistant: What ingredients are you looking for? ### Human: Can you tell me what ingredients I need? ### Assistant: The bread part of the recipe you'll want to make?  The traditional way you'd make banana bread would start with a crust, or a loaf of bread you can prepare yourself.  Then you'd want to add some kind of a banana puree, and some kind of walnuts.  So you'd want to have some bread you can toast, a jar of puree (you can make your own, or you can buy it), and some kind of walnuts you can toast and then chop. ### Human: Can you give me the baking instructions? ### Assistant: You'll want to preheat your oven to 350.  So start by putting a bread loaf or two into a pan.  Then you'll want to add a jar of puree on top of that, and a cup or two of chopped walnuts.  Make sure that the walnuts are chopped into fairly small pieces.  Next, you'll want to pour in some kind of melted butter, or some melted coconut oil.  Once that's done, you'll want to bake it for 30-40 minutes. ### Human: About how much butter or coconut oil should I use? ### Assistant: You might want to use a bit of butter or oil to grease the pan, and then you'll want to pour in about half a cup or two of melted butter, or two tablespoons of melted coconut oil. ### Human: Thank you very much for your assistance. ### Assistant:

### Human: The school thinks my daughter is advanced enough to skip a grade. Should I let her? ### Assistant: That’s a good question, and there’s no one right answer.  There are pros and cons to this.  It’s great that the school recognizes your daughter’s intelligence, but skipping a grade may also place more pressure on her, if she doesn’t have the social maturity to handle it yet.  It might be better to move at a more natural pace, and make sure she’s ready to advance before taking on that challenge.  What do you think? ### Human: I think she is intellectually prepared, because she is so advanced and intelligent. However, I am worried about her being around other students who are older than her moving forward. ### Assistant:

That’s a good point.  It’s important to make sure your daughter is ready to handle the social and emotional challenges of being in a more advanced class, before moving her up.  This is a good time to talk to her about the importance of being a good student and a good person, and to make sure she’s ready to handle the social and emotional challenges of being in a more advanced class.  It’s also a good time to make sure she’s ready to do the work, and to make sure she’s ready to handle the academic challenges of a more advanced class

### Human: Search for a lemon chicken recipe ### Assistant: Here’s a lemon chicken recipe: ### Human: What if I don't have a cast iron skillet? ### Assistant: OK, let's be realistic.  If you don't have a cast iron skillet, it might be a bit tough to get this all together.  How about I suggest an alternative?  How about lemon chicken and penne noodles with salad? ### Human: Ok I will try that. ### Assistant:

Here’s the recipe for the lemon chicken and penne noodles with salad:  You’ll want to marinate the chicken in a mixture of lemon juice and olive oil, and then saute the chicken in a skillet.  You’ll want to cook the penne noodles in a skillet, and then add the chicken and the marinade to the skillet, and cook the chicken and penne noodles together.  You’ll want to serve the chicken and penne noodles with a salad.

### Human: What made King Tut so famous ### Assistant: Tutankhamun, also known as King Tut, was discovered in 1923, and quickly became the most famous Egyptian pharaoh ever.  He died at the age of 19, and had a very short reign, but he became such a big international star that he’s never really faded from the public consciousness.  Part of the reason for his popularity is the mystery surrounding his death.  He died young, and was famously buried in a huge tomb that took years to complete, at great expense to his father, the pharaoh Akhenaten.  And shortly after his death, his tomb was looted, and many priceless objects were stolen.  It was all very dramatic, and people became fascinated with the young king at the center of it all. ### Human: Why was his tomb looted? ### Assistant: The tomb was looted soon after it was completed.  This might have been due to guards being bribed to open the tomb, or the thieves might have just been more skilled or better organized than the guards.  But the thieves then dispersed all over the world, carrying priceless artifacts with them, which fueled the king’s posthumous fame.  Some of these artifacts may have been recovered later, but many were never seen again. ### Human: Thank you ### Assistant:

### Human: In physics, what is a redshift? ### Assistant: The redshift refers to how an object appears to shift its energy toward redder wavelengths due to an increase in the object’s redshift. In the case of astronomical objects, the universe appears to be expanding, so when an object appears to move away from us, it appears to be moving toward the red end of the light spectrum. In a sense, the redshift is a “rebound” due to the expansion of the universe. ### Human: Does the redshift have anything to do with rainbows, or am I mixing up physics? ### Assistant: The primary connection between redshifts and rainbows is that both are considered phenomena caused by the scattering of light.   Rainbows are caused by light being scattered when it goes through a shower of water drops, which form prisms that are close to a seven-color rainbow.  In the case of light passing through galaxies, redshifts are caused by light scattering as it passes through gas or other matter, and that causes the light to shift toward the red end of the light spectrum. ### Human: But is redshift the physics principle responsible for why rainbows have red in them, or is it unrelated? ### Assistant:

Yes, redshift is the physics principle responsible for why rainbows have red in them.  The rainbow is caused by light scattering, and light scattering is caused by the refraction of light as it passes through a prism of water droplets.  The refraction of light causes the light to be scattered, and the scattering of light causes the rainbow.  The redshift of light is the physical principle responsible for the red color of the rainbow.

### Human: How do you know if you have black mold in your home? ### Assistant: That’s a good question!  First of all, a very simple way to see if you have black mold in your home is to look for wet or damp spots.  If you see these, you should investigate them with a black light.  If you see black mold under a black light, then it’s most likely you have black mold in your home. ### Human: What does black mold look like on the ceiling? ### Assistant:

Black mold on the ceiling looks like a black, fuzzy, powdery substance.  It can be found in any room in your home, but it’s most common in the bathroom and kitchen.  Black mold on the ceiling can be harmful to your health, so it’s important to get it removed as soon as possible.  Black mold on the ceiling can cause respiratory problems, skin infections, and allergic reactions.

### Human: Can you help me find a good scuba diving place in Maui, Hawaii? ### Assistant: Sure, let me try to help you out.  I know this area of the globe pretty well, and I can give you an overview of your options.  Unfortunately there isn't any precise way to identify the best diving places, but I can give you a good idea of what might be a good fit for you. ### Human: I need to find some places to look into scuba diving in Maui, Hawaii. Can you help me? ### Assistant: Great!  The first thing I want to ask is whether you're looking for anything specific.  I have a general overview here, but it's entirely possible that something's different in Maui than what I'm used to. ### Human: Yea I am looking for a place to go scuba diving in Maui ### Assistant: Wonderful, it will be great to help with that!
Now, have you been diving before? ### Human: No I've never been diving ### Assistant: Well, for me, diving is the best!  But if this is your first time diving, I need to ask a few things to help you get started. ### Human: Okay, what do you need to ask me? ### Assistant: Well, first, are you planning to dive underwater by yourself?  Or are you planning to dive with a guide?  This is a major factor in figuring out where to dive, because having a dive guide will give you a very different experience from just diving yourself. ### Human: Planning on going with a guide ### Assistant: Great!  Then the next question is whether you're going to dive on a boat, or you're going to dive at a location called a "drop-off" where you get in and out in one shot? ### Human: I would like to dive on a boat ### Assistant: Super, then I can definitely help you out!  There are actually many good options here for scuba diving, and I've been diving in this area, so I can help you narrow it down to a few good possibilities.  How long are you looking to spend diving in Maui? ### Human: I am going to be there for a couple days ### Assistant:

Great!  I'm happy to help you out.  I'll make sure you have a good time and stay safe.  I'll also make sure you're aware of the local laws and regulations, and that you're diving in a safe and responsible manner.

### Human: Which is easier to learn between the piano and acoustic guitar? I've always wanted to learn an instrument but can't spare too much time. Maybe a few hours a week. ### Assistant: An acoustic guitar is typically easier for a beginner than a piano because it’s much more forgiving. If you press a wrong key it’s not quite as bad as on a piano, and also the piano’s notes are not as accessible. ### Human: OK. Acoustic guitar it is then. What type should I buy to learn on? There seem to be a lot of options. ### Assistant: You could just go to a music store and ask about some of the options they have. Also, you could find a guitar with a smaller fretboard and fret less than you should so that you don’t have to learn too many notes at once. ### Human: That's a great idea. I'd like to go in with a little information so they don't try to rip me off though. What is the different types of strings you can have on an acoustic? ### Assistant:

There are a lot of different types of strings you can have on an acoustic guitar. The most common are:
-Electric guitar strings, which are usually made of steel or nickel, and have a different sound than the other types.
-Classical guitar strings, which are usually made of nylon or steel, and have a different sound than the other types.
-Flat-picked guitar strings, which are usually made of steel or nickel, and have a different sound than the other types.

### Human: I went to Japan last year and only saw a couple non-Japanese people. Does Japan have very strict immigration policies, or do foreigners just not want to live there? ### Assistant:

Japan has very strict immigration policies. Foreigners are required to have a valid passport and a visa, and to register with the local police. Foreigners are also required to live in a certain area of the city, and to report to the police if they change their address. These policies are designed to prevent illegal immigration, and to ensure that foreigners are law-abiding citizens.

### Human: I want to get a pet but don't know if I want a cat or a dog. ### Assistant: Alright, here are some pros and cons of each animal: ### Human: That's a good start ### Assistant:

Cats and dogs are both cute and cuddly, but they can also be noisy, messy, and demanding.  They can also be good companions, and they can help you feel less lonely.  They can also be a lot of work, and they can be expensive to buy and to care for.  So it depends on your lifestyle and your personality, but if you want a pet, you might want to consider a cat or a dog.

### Human: What is the best cheese for making cheese sticks? ### Assistant: I would say Mozzarella is a good, fairly mild cheese.  If you want to stick with Italian, you could also try Fontina, Gorgonzola or Parmesan.  If you want to look outside of Italy, try Swiss, Emmentaler, or Gruyere. ### Human: Which is your favorite? ### Assistant:

Mozzarella is my favorite.  It's a mild, creamy cheese that's good for making cheese sticks, or for melting on pizza or salads.  Fontina and Gorgonzola are also good, but they're a little stronger in flavor.  Emmentaler and Gruyere are also good, but they're a little more mild.

Or are you more concerned about the best sleeping position for getting sleep and feeling refreshed when you wake up? ### Human: Is there a sleep position that is recommended and healthier than other ways? ### Assistant:

Yes, sleeping on your back is recommended for both comfort and health.  This is because it's the most natural and relaxed position, and also because it's the position that's most likely to keep your spine straight and your body healthy.  Sleeping on your back is also the position that's most likely to keep your airways open, which is important for breathing and sleeping.

### Human: I'm a hypochondriac and its causing me lots of stress. How do I get over this? ### Assistant: What's causing you stress? Are you concerned about certain symptoms or have you convinced yourself that you're sick in a way that isn't actually true? If the latter, that sounds like a kind of anxiety disorder and could possibly benefit from medication, but if you're having physical symptoms like pain or pressure, that would be a real health concern and should be looked into. ### Human: I just always think I'm sick or have something wrong with me even if its an extremely rare disorder and I only show one symptom. ### Assistant: What you're describing is called somatoform disorder. It's a condition where you're convinced you have a disease, or a disorder, but there's no real physical symptoms for it. This can often happen for people who have chronic pain or chronic anxiety problems, but it can also sometimes be a manifestation of depression. It's a chronic condition that might not respond to just trying to think differently about your symptoms, but can definitely benefit from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), meditation, and stress reduction. Your primary care doctor should be able to recommend the best approaches for you. ### Human: Whats the difference between that and hypochondria? ### Assistant:

Hypochondria is a condition where you're constantly worrying about your health, but you're actually healthy. Somatoform disorder is a condition where you're convinced you're sick, but you're actually healthy. Hypochondria can be caused by anxiety or depression, or it can be a manifestation of those conditions, but it's a different condition than somatoform disorder. Somatoform disorder can be treated with CBT and stress reduction, but it can also be a sign of underlying anxiety or depression, which would need to

### Human: How long can a great white shark without eating? ### Assistant: If it is properly conditioned and has enough exercise, it can go for a very long time without eating.  This depends on the animal, but great whites can go for up to 6 months between feeding without starving.  However, many human Great Whites are not very properly conditioned, so in the wild they often die of starvation and dehydration before they can pass this critical mark. ### Human: 6 months sounds like a long time to not eat! ### Assistant: Indeed, it is an impressive feat.  It is impressive because the primary energy source for a shark is stored in their muscle tissue.  Without food, these muscles deteriorate and start using up the animal’s stored fats.  If a shark wants to hold out that long, it needs to train its body to burn through its fat stores faster than they deteriorate.  And it must also train to recycle the metabolic by-products into the hydrogen and oxygen it needs to breathe.  So it can keep functioning longer than usual. ### Human: Do they get skinny? ### Assistant:

Yes, they do get skinny.  Their skin becomes very thin and translucent.  This is a defense mechanism that helps them to conserve energy.  They also get very skinny because they are constantly swimming and using up their fats.  So they are constantly losing weight.  This is why they are often so skinny.  They are also constantly swimming and using up their fats, which is why they are often so skinny.  They are also constantly swimming and using up their fats, which is why they are often so hungry.  They are also constantly swimming and

### Human: What is the deepest point on Earth? ### Assistant: The Mariana Trench is located in the Pacific Ocean, just off the Mariana Islands. It is 1.14 kilometers (0.74 miles) deep. If you placed Mount Everest at the bottom of the Mariana Trench, the peak would still be 2,133 meters (7,000 feet) below sea level. ### Human: Your measurement is wrong, the Mariana Trench is the deepest oceanic trench on Earth. The maximum known depth is 10,984 metres (6.825 miles) at the southern end in a spot known as the Challenger Deep. ### Assistant: According to Wikipedia, "The Challenger Deep is the deepest known part of the Mariana Trench." The Mariana Trench is 11,034 meters (36,201 feet) deep.  Thanks for the correction! ### Human: How do people explore deep places in the ocean? ### Assistant:

Marine scientists and deep-sea explorers use a variety of different methods to study and explore the deepest parts of the ocean. Some of the most common methods include:
-   Diving with specialized deep-sea submersibles
-   Using remotely operated underwater vehicles (ROVs)
-   Using deep-sea cabled observatories

You'll like Carlito's Way. It's a good, gritty, violent, and emotional crime drama.  It's a good movie to watch if you like crime movies, or if you like Brian De Palma.  It's also a good movie to watch if you like movies with a lot of action and violence.

### Human: I keep telling myself I'm going to learn how to code and this year I finally have the time to get started. The only problem I'm having is knowing which coding language would be best for me to learn. Do you have any advice on which language is best for a given field? This would really help me decide. ### Assistant: Here's some information on different types of programming languages: ### Human: What about HTML? I'd love to be able to move into the remote worker field and I figured website building might be a career path that would make that possible and I've read that HTML is pretty important in that job. ### Assistant: HTML is used to create pages for web applications, but it’s actually a markup language, and it doesn't require any programming knowledge to use. So that would be something that would probably have more to do with front-end development (creating the interface and visual design), and then it's usually a good idea to find a programmer to do the back-end work. I think it's useful for someone to know some HTML, and knowing how to do some front-end work will help you learn the backend work, but there's no such thing as a front-end only job. ### Human: I looked up front end developers. That sounds like something I would be interested in for sure. What other skills or attributes can help me break into this field? It would be a career shift for me as my background is in sales and communications. ### Assistant: An important skill that I've seen for a lot of web developers is the ability to write and debug code, but your skills need to complement those. For example, HTML and CSS are very important, as are being able to work with frameworks such as Wordpress or Drupal, and working with APIs. I think something else important is a lot of communication, because oftentimes people hire people who can both write and work with others to deliver the final product. ### Human: What about Python? I'm reading articles that this is the next big thing in coding language. Would I have to learn all these languages or could I specialize in one or two? If I have to learn more than one is there a logical order to learn them in? ### Assistant:

Python is a general-purpose language that's used for a lot of different things, and it's also a good choice for web development. It's a good idea to learn the basics of Python first, and then learn some specific web development skills. Python is a good choice for web development because it's a language that's used for a lot of different things, and it's also a language that's used for a lot of different types of web development. It's also a language that's used for a lot of different types of back-end development, and it's also

They are usually cornmeal stuffed with a savory mixture of meat and vegetables, but the ingredients vary widely in different places, from chicken to pork to mushrooms to vegetables and spices. ### Human: Mmm, mushrooms. That actually sounds delicious. ### Assistant: Yes!  The tamales from the Pueblo Indians in the southwestern US are filled with the local morel mushrooms that grow in the pine forests. ### Human: What are other kinds of vegetables I can use? ### Assistant: There are a wide variety of vegetables that are often included, like corn and onions, tomatoes, spinach, red peppers, chile peppers, and even chocolate and nuts.  The recipes often include dried fruits too, like prunes, raisins, or cherries.  So, for example, there is a variety of tamales that are made of chicken, wrapped in corn husks and dipped in chocolate. ### Human: So they can be sweet too? ### Assistant:

Yes, tamales can be sweet, or savory, or both.  The most common sweet tamales are filled with a sweet, savory, or salty mixture of vegetables and chicken, or with a sweet, creamy sauce.  The most common savory tamales are filled with a savory, or spicy, or salty mixture of vegetables and chicken, or with a savory, or spicy, or salty sauce.

### Human: How can I make my own laundry soap? ### Assistant: There are three main ingredients: 1. An acid such as vinegar. 2. A base such as baking soda. 3. And a fragrance of some kind, such as essential oils. Of course these ingredients can be mixed in any proportions you like. I suggest that you make it as follows: ### Human: Would vinegar make it smell though? ### Assistant: Yes, it will give the soap an odor, but that can be a good thing. I would recommend adding the vinegar very sparingly, just to a drop or two per teaspoon. ### Human: Okay, any other advice? ### Assistant:

Yes, here are some other tips: 1. Make sure to use only natural ingredients. 2. Make sure to use only ingredients that are safe for use in soap. 3. Make sure to use only ingredients that are environmentally friendly. 4. Make sure to use only ingredients that are cruelty-free. 5. Make sure to use only ingredients that are vegan-friendly. 6.

You're making them the traditional way. Candied walnuts are made by cooking the walnuts in a sugar syrup. The sugar syrup is made by heating sugar in a pot, and then cooling it. The walnuts are then cooked in the sugar syrup. Candied walnuts are a popular holiday food, and they're also a good source of protein and healthy fats.

Should people shower once a day, or once a week? ### Assistant: Yes, there are some recommendations for cleaning your body. To help fight off infection, you should get into the shower and get wet. Then you might want to use some kind of soap or body wash to help the shower water lather up, to help it get into your skin. Then you want to take some water and slowly start moving your hands in circles, or you might want to move your body in slow circles, to help the water move over your skin.

### Human: How do I make a citrus spray? ### Assistant: What kind of citrus spray are you making? ### Human: Like a room spray. ### Assistant: OK, so you would start with vinegar and a carrier oil like vegetable oil.  The vinegar would make the base, and the oil would make it moisturizing and oily.  You would mix in either citrus essential oils or a citrus extract.  Some people do one, some people do the other, or a combination of both.  To make the vinegar base, you would start with vinegar, like white vinegar or apple cider vinegar, and you might want to add some lemon or orange juice to it, or some fragrance like rosemary or sage.  Then you would want to season it with some pepper or sea salt.  Once you have that vinegar mixture, you would want to add in some oil to make it moisturizing.  You could do a vegetable oil like olive oil or grape seed oil, or you might want to use something like vegetable glycerin or vegetable oil for the base, and then add some citrus essential oils or citrus extract. ### Human: Why would I season it with salt and pepper? ### Assistant: Well, you would want to season it with a bit of salt and pepper to give it some flavor.  Salt is good for you, it enhances the flavor, and it also can help to prevent mold from growing in the bottle.  The pepper can also add some flavor.  It can help make the spray feel fresh and spicy, or you can add a bit of pepper to make it feel warmer if you want.  You can also add a little bit of pepper for some heat if you want. ### Human: I'm not going to drink the room spray.  I just want to make the room smell better. ### Assistant: OK, you would want to make sure the base is well-seasoned, and you want to make sure it has enough vinegar in it, to make it feel strong and strong-smelling.  Then you would want to make a mixture of vegetable oil and citrus oil or citrus extract.  You would want to start with the oil, and then you would want to add some citrus essential oil, or citrus extract.  So you would want to start with a vegetable oil, like vegetable glycerin or vegetable oil, you might want to use something like grapeseed oil or you might want to use something like vegetable oil, and you would want to add in some citrus essential oil or citrus extract.  So you would want to add some citrus essential oil, like lemon, or orange, or lime, and you would want to add in a citrus extract, like orange extract, or lemon extract, or lime extract. ### Human: Thanks for the help. ### Assistant:

### Human: What is the best way to train your dog to sit and do tricks? ### Assistant: Sure. It’s really a matter of a dog being trained to learn what the meaning of certain words are. So basically you first need to take the dog to a positive reinforcement trainer, who’ll help teach the dog the meaning of some commonly-used words. Then, you can teach the dog by using the same words in a positive way.  Perhaps you can tell me some words that are commonly-used around dogs that would be helpful to teach a dog? ### Human: So the trainer would be helpful then. So I can't do it myself? ### Assistant:

Yes, it’s best to have a trainer help you.  They can help you figure out what the dog is learning, and also help you figure out how to train the dog.  They can also help you figure out if the dog is learning the right things, and if not, they can help you figure out how to change the training.

I want to be better at that. ### Assistant: What kinds of things are you not paying attention to?  Are you not paying attention to your own goals? Are you not paying attention to the details of something you're working on? ### Human: Something I am working on.  I proofread as a job, I am missing mistakes.  Do you have any tips? ### Assistant: Try to slow down and really think through the task you are working on.  Be very conscious of your reading process.  Read a passage twice, and make sure you understand it the first time.  Read a sentence a few times, until you're confident you understand what it says.  Then when you get to the next sentence, verify that you understand the previous sentence, before moving on.  This will help you stay more mindful and alert as you work. ### Human: That's good advice.  I will try it and see if it works. ### Assistant: You might also try taking a short "mental break" from reading, and then coming back to it.  This can help you get re-focused on what you're doing. ### Human: Thanks. ### Assistant:

### Human: How can I buy my business partner out? Does he need to give me permission or can I just buy him out without it? ### Assistant: Yes, you can buy out your business partner without his permission, so long as he agrees to the terms of the deal.  You can offer to buy his share of the company at a fair price, or to pay him a certain amount of money in exchange for him selling his share.  He will likely be happy to accept this offer, since it will allow him to make some money from the business and move on with his life.  You will then become the sole owner of the business, and can run it as you see fit. ### Human: So all I have to do is make an offer and have him accept it? That seems easy enough. Is there any way I can force him to sell if he does not accept my offer? ### Assistant: No, if your business partner does not want to sell his share of the company, then you will not be able to force him to do so.  If you have a long-term, good relationship, and your business partner would be sad to leave his job, he might feel forced to continue working for you.  You will need to understand his situation and create an arrangement that makes sense for both of you. ### Human: I guess I will have to come up with a good offer to make sure they accept, then. Can I expect any retaliation for trying to buy him out? I don't want to initiate any hostilities by trying to acquire the operating share of this business. ### Assistant:

Yes, you should be aware that your business partner may be legally entitled to file a lawsuit against you for attempting to buy him out without his consent, and you could face significant legal penalties for this.  You should therefore make a fair and reasonable offer to your business partner, and be prepared to negotiate with him to reach a mutually beneficial agreement.  You should also be aware that your business partner may be legally entitled to a portion of the profits from the company, and you will need to pay him this amount in exchange for his share of the company.

The gas stove works by controlling the flow of gas to the burners, and also by controlling the air supply to the burners. The burners are always flame-less, and the flame is produced by the combustion of a mixture of gas and air. The gas and air mixture is ignited by a spark from the electric igniter, which is located in the center of the cooktop. The gas and air mixture is then allowed to flow through the cooktop, and is then exhausted to the outside air.

### Human: What are co-op businesses? ### Assistant: Co-op businesses are local, grassroots businesses that offer their products and services to the community in exchange for member patronage and support.  They often also offer members or customers the chance to buy into the business themselves, giving them an ownership stake.  There are many co-op businesses that have been around for decades, and there are also many new co-ops that are popping up all the time.  Some co-ops are for-profit, others are not-for-profit. ### Human: How does offering customers ownership work? ### Assistant:

Offering customers the chance to buy into a co-op business and become a member-owner gives them a stake in the business, and also allows them to vote on the direction of the business.  This gives them a chance to have a say in how the business is run, and also gives them a chance to earn a share of the profits.  It also gives the business a chance to raise money from the community, which can be used to support the business.
