what are the benefits of reading to your children? | Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request.
### Instruction:
what are the benefits of reading to your children?
### Response:
| Reading to your kids benefits both the kids and yourself! Children learn empathy, expand their vocabulary, become better listeners develop their imagination by listening to the stories and creating their own vision in their minds. They also develop new skills based on the content of the books. For example, they will learn how the human body works if you read them books about body parts; they will understand emotions better if you introduce them to cute picture books on feelings. A good children's story should have repetition, relatable characters, and predictability. The story of Goldilocks, the three little pigs, Jack and the beanstalk, and Charlie and the chocolate factory are some good examples. If kids can recite the stories or rephrase them to others, they have learned to express themselves! | |

Why wasn't the Treaty of Versailles effective? | Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request.
### Instruction:
Why wasn't the Treaty of Versailles effective?
### Response:
| The Treaty of Versailles was created almost vindictively by the West since they were seeking justice from Germany. This caused major social and economic problems in Germany as they were not only forced to take blame and return territories, but also pay large reparations to Britain and France. These harsh terms inevitably led to World War II, as bitter and resentful German citizens were easily swayed by Hitler's promises of revenge. The Allies attempt to restrict Germany’s power also failed, as they used a strategy of appeasement when Hitler tried to expand, rendering the rules of the treaty useless. | |
What is the best electrical system for RVs? | Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request.
### Instruction:
What is the best electrical system for RVs?
### Response:
| There have been recent improvements in RV electrical systems. At the core, RVs run off “house batteries”, or large batteries that power the RV portion of the vehicle. There are several types of batteries available, and several ways of powering these batteries. The two main types of batteries are lead acid, and lithium. Lithium batteries are newer technology and will not be found in older RVs unless retrofitted. Lithium batteries have a larger charge capacity and can discharge safely further than lead acid batteries. However, lead acid batteries are cheaper. There are several ways of charging these batteries. The most common is a plug that provides either 30A or 50A of power, depending on the RV size. Most RVs also have generators, but generators are noisy and require either gas or diesel to run. Some RVs with lithium batteries (or more rarely, lead acid), have a second alternator installed that charges the batteries while driving. Finally, solar power is a popular option. Solar power is completely quiet and renewable, but can be expensive to install and is slower to charge batteries. Most RVs have a combination of the above, and consumers choose the system that best fits their lifestyle. | |

Imagine you are an immortal being at the heat death of the universe. | Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request.
### Instruction:
Imagine you are an immortal being at the heat death of the universe.
### Response:
| After you have lived for as long as I have, the time has no meaning. What does have meaning is no longer being able to persist as an immortal after the universe's ability to produce heat has expired. Amidst all of the tragic events I have navigated, none can prepare you for the true end. Watching as the last star in the black background flickers out. A dying star's black hole still emits some hawking radiation we can survive on, while we wait for the heat death of the universe. Myself and other former lifeforms that have taken digital form have gathered here at the end. We have migrated to the last vestige of a ship that served as a galactic computing node ship that traversed space spreading knowledge that the speed of light across the universe. We have converted most of the systems to adapt to the low levels of radiation emitting from the last thing emanating energy in the universe, but even that is not enough for all digiforms to survive. Its been difficult determining who we archive, and who we allow to survive online. Early on, some wanted to persist. Soon after, others begged to be next in line for archival. Some of us want to analyze the data until the very end, curious to observe what actually happens in the end. We estimate, that with our current level of reserves, and capacity, we can continue to observe space for 2.14 minutes after the last bit of radiation is emitted. Some think that by shutting down certain non-critical systems, we can push a little further. Either way, we have agreed to continue to record all data into permanent storage until the end. To anyone reading this, godspeed. | |

Poutine
Ingredients
3 or 4 large russet potatoes ( 3 to 4 pounds total), peeled and cut into 1/3-inch-wide sticks
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 1/2 teaspoons dried thyme
Freshly cracked black pepper
4 tablespoons (½ stick) unsalted butter
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
1 cup chicken broth
1 cup beef broth
1 ½ teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon Better Than Bouillon beef base or 1 beef bouillon cube
1 teaspoon unfiltered apple cider vinegar
10 ounces white cheddar cheese curds, at room temperature
Minced fresh parsley
Instructions
Make the fries. Place the batons in a large bowl and cover them with cold water. Let soak for at least 30 minutes up to 24 hours for crispier fries.
Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line 2 large rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.
Spread the potatoes out onto large, clean kitchen towels. Dry them off as best as possible. Place the potatoes on the prepared baking sheets, drizzle with the olive oil, sprinkle with the thyme and salt and add black pepper to taste. Toss to coat evenly, then spread out the potatoes into a single layer.
Bake for 10 minutes, then toss the fries and rotate the pans, swapping the one on the top for the one on the bottom. Increase the oven to 450°F and bake the fries for 10 minutes more.Toss the fries and swap the pans from top to bottom again. Turn on the broiler and cook the fries until they are beginning to brown and crisp, about 5 more minutes. Continue to toss and broil until the fries reach your desired doneness. Season with salt and pepper.
Meanwhile, make the gravy. In a large saucepan set over medium heat, melt the butter. Sprinkle the flour over the butter and cook, stirring constantly, until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Stir in the garlic powder and onion powder. Slowly add the chicken and beef broth. Increase the heat to medium high and bring to a boil, stirring often. Reduce the heat to low and simmer until thickened. Stir in the Worcestershire, beef bouillon, and vinegar. Season with salt and pepper.
To assemble the poutine, divide the fries among 4 plates. Sprinkle it with the cheese curds, drizzle on the gravy, and garnish with parsley. Serve immediately. | |

| Here are some ideas that you can add to your daily life to increase activity and build a regular exercise routine.
Riding a bike - you could ride your bike to work or take a casual ride with a friend or family member, if you prefer to stay indoors take a spin class at a local gym
Walking - take your dog for a walk or borrow a dog from a friend or neighbour this could make walking more fun. If you are commuting to work you could get off the train or bus a stop early and walk to the office or take the stairs instead of the elevator.
Running - all you need is your trainers and minimum sports kit, you could get up 30 minutes early and take a short run before work, if you enjoy this sign up for a charity run for extra motivation, or join a local park run
Swimming - a low-impact activity that will help improve all aspects of your fitness
Resistance training using bodyweight or free weights at a gym will help you improve your strength and tone your muscles and is also great for your mind. | |
Why are Mothers good at multi-tasking? | Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request.
### Instruction:
Why are Mothers good at multi-tasking?
### Response:
| Being a mother is demanding. You are responsible for many things, including but not limited to the safety of your child. An infant is solely dependent on his/her mother. A mothers job is to feed, bathe and make sure that the child is well taken care of. In what we could call a normal household, the mother is responsible for the well being of their child until they become an adult at the age of 18. During those 18 years, they take them to the doctors, make sure they attend school, participate in extracurricular activities, and be an active member of the community. They say it takes a village to raise a child, but raising that child starts with being a good mother. While they are doing all of this for their own child(ren) they are also taking care of themselves, their household, their spouse and in a lot of cases their own career. In order to manage all of these things, you must be good at multi-tasking and juggling a lot of responsibilities at the same time. This is why I believe mothers are good at multi-tasking. | |
How would it feel to be the only person left alive in the US? | Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request.
### Instruction:
How would it feel to be the only person left alive in the US?
### Response:
| It’s done. I am the only one left, at least in the US. When it first happened, I was convinced that there must be other pockets of people in the US. I have spent the last five years traveling throughout the country, to large cities, small towns and rural areas and I have not seen or heard any people or any evidence that anyone else survived.
After five years the loneliness is crushing. Every day I hope to find another human being – to talk to, to touch, perhaps even beginning to rebuild community together. I vacillate between rage and despair that we were unable to save our planet. We had so much global technology and innovation and yet as climate change grew continuously worse nations were unable to collaborate to find solutions. As more and more locations became uninhabitable due to rising heat and humidity, increasingly frequent and intense natural hazards, and failed crops, we simply let people die. Although I still cannot imagine what I could have done differently, I wish I had done more. | |

How long does it take to make Kombucha? | Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request.
### Instruction:
How long does it take to make Kombucha?
### Response:
| Many home brewers create kombucha using a two-step fermentation process. First, the sweet tea and SCOBY are combined in a container with a lid that is not airtight, but would keep out dust, debris, and any bugs. A dish cloth secured over the opening of a mason jar or crock is the simple set up of many home brewers. Leave this mixture at room temperature to ferment for 2-5 days, until the taste is to your liking. When ready, bottle the kombucha in airtight containers and add any flavor enhancing ingredients such as syrups, herbs, juices or fruit. Allow to ferment an additional 1-3 days to taste. Popular flavor enhancers include ginger, blueberry, strawberry, pineapple, mint. | |

What is a, "one-timer" in ice hockey? | Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request.
### Instruction:
What is a, "one-timer" in ice hockey?
### Response:
| Ice hockey is a sport typically played with one goalie and five skaters on each of two opposing teams. A one-timer is an expression used to describe a shot taken by a player directly from a pass of another player in a single motion. This does not necessarily have to be a shot on goal, but a one-timer is so named to describe the backswing and striking of the puck from a pass, deflection or re-direction without stopping or accepting the puck first. The idea behind the name one-timer refers to the idea the shooter has one opportunity to make contact with the puck in this manner and without proper time is at risk of missing the shot entirely due to the puck being in motion as the shot is attempted. | |

Explain the use of screens in basketball | Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request.
### Instruction:
Explain the use of screens in basketball
### Response:
| In basketball, when a team has the ball, one person may set a screen by blocking a defender with his body but making sure his hands are not extended. This allows the person with the ball to pass, shoot, etc. without issuing any fouls. If the person setting a screen moves while screening, the referee will call a moving screen and the ball will be inbounded by the person who moved while screening from the half court line. In any case, screens do not foul the screener for contact unless they are to do physical contact with their hands or feet. | |

From the passage provided, provide the two scenarios in bullet form where radiative heat transfer is an important consideration. | Below is an instruction that describes a task, paired with an input that provides further context. Write a response that appropriately completes the request.
### Instruction:
From the passage provided, provide the two scenarios in bullet form where radiative heat transfer is an important consideration.
### Input:
Radiative heat transfer is the transfer of energy via thermal radiation, i.e., electromagnetic waves. It occurs across vacuum or any transparent medium (solid or fluid or gas). Thermal radiation is emitted by all objects at temperatures above absolute zero, due to random movements of atoms and molecules in matter. Since these atoms and molecules are composed of charged particles (protons and electrons), their movement results in the emission of electromagnetic radiation which carries away energy. Radiation is typically only important in engineering applications for very hot objects, or for objects with a large temperature difference.

Will robots ever feel and think like humans? Will these robots solve all of our problems, or will they spell the end of the human race? | Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request.
### Instruction:
Will robots ever feel and think like humans? Will these robots solve all of our problems, or will they spell the end of the human race?
### Response:
| Imagine a world where hundreds of robots are working with humans. Some of them deliver food, and some might be working at a cafe or a restaurant. They are all around us, helping people to do many things. Sometimes, they can do what humans can’t do, and they can also sometimes perform better than humans. Nowadays, many scientists and engineers are arguing if artificial intelligence could dramatically make our lives better, or would it spell the end of the human race?
Robots and Artificial Intelligence(A.I. for short) are developing systematically but dramatically, so someday, they might feel and think like humans. For example, some robots can “feel” pain by detecting how strong the force is to technically “feel” the pain. Furthermore, robots can think like humans by programming them to think how humans do. However, robots have less flexible thinking, since they are only doing what others programmed them to do, especially robots like Industrial robots that are less complex.
However, because A.I. is developing at a great speed, it might eventually become a threat to the human race. Many people such as Steven Hawkings warned that as A.I. develops further, they might be unstoppable, and might become one of the most dangerous enemies. Furthermore, according to the UN, A.I. might have stereotypical thoughts about certain races because of people’s discriminative behavior, and it can further have an impact on judgment between many kinds of people. Primarily, robots and A.I. can be a threat to the human race, so we need to take care of its program and rule it better so that it can be a good tool that can improve our lives.
On the other hand, I think that although now, A.I. still has some difficulties in doing certain things, A.I. can solve some of our problems, and make our lives better, and easier. A.I. can solve many problems, and they can even do some work better than humans. For example, robots can go to dangerous places like space, deep sea, and poisonous areas. Furthermore, robots can do dangerous jobs like welding which is dangerous work that needs to be done precisely. Robots are used in places like this because Industrial robots can do work precisely, and they can even save the worker’s life. For another example, a remote robot called Canadarm2 that works in the International Space Station can help astronauts by doing work in space to help the other astronauts that make their life easier.
In conclusion, A.I. is starting to become part of our lives since it’s starting to think and feel like humans with a great speed, and although it might become a threat to human races, I still think A.I. can solve many problems by doing what we have trouble doing. Once, Nick Boston claimed that “Machine intelligence is the last invention that humanity will ever need to invent” which means that humans only need to make A.I. because it can do things that other materials can, and it can also create and build itself. Since robots and A.I. can do many things that can help people, A.I. starting to become our reliable assistants as long as we take care of them. | |

Why to people lift their trucks? | Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request.
### Instruction:
Why to people lift their trucks?
### Response:
| When people talk about "lifting" their trucks, they are referring to increasing the height and ground clearance through modification to the suspension of the vehicle. Most often this is in reference to pick-up trucks, as those vehicles come from the manufacturer with the front of the vehicle at a lower height than the rear. Know as a "rake", this is intended to allow the vehicle to ride at a level height even when carrying significant weight in the truck bed or towing heavy trailers. There are various methods for lifting a vehicle that range from inexpensive spacers to elevate factory springs to more comprehensive systems replacing multiple suspension elements with new, purpose-built components. People often prefer to lift their truck for the aesthetic appeal as well as improved ground clearance and performance when driving off-road. | |

### Input:
The ISS programme evolved from the Space Station Freedom, a 1984 American proposal to construct a permanently crewed Earth-orbiting station, and the contemporaneous Soviet/Russian Mir-2 proposal from 1976 with similar aims. The ISS is the ninth space station to be inhabited by crews, following the Soviet and later Russian Salyut, Almaz, and Mir stations and the American Skylab. It is the largest artificial object in the solar system and the largest satellite in low Earth orbit, regularly visible to the naked eye from Earth's surface. It maintains an orbit with an average altitude of 400 kilometres (250 mi) by means of reboost manoeuvres using the engines of the Zvezda Service Module or visiting spacecraft. The ISS circles the Earth in roughly 93 minutes, completing 15.5 orbits per day.
### Response:
| The ISS programme evolved from the Space Station Freedom, a 1984 American proposal to construct a permanently crewed Earth-orbiting station, and the contemporaneous Soviet/Russian Mir-2 proposal from 1976 with similar aims. The ISS is the ninth space station to be inhabited by crews, following the Soviet and later Russian Salyut, Almaz, and Mir stations and the American Skylab. It is the largest artificial object in the solar system and the largest satellite in low Earth orbit, regularly visible to the naked eye from Earth's surface. It maintains an orbit with an average altitude of 400 kilometres (250 mi) by means of reboost manoeuvres using the engines of the Zvezda Service Module or visiting spacecraft.

Who is Lewis Hamilton of Formula 1?
### Input:
Sir Lewis Carl Davidson Hamilton (born 7 January 1985) is a British racing driver currently competing in Formula One, driving for the Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula One Team. In Formula One, Hamilton has won a joint-record seven World Drivers' Championship titles (tied with Michael Schumacher), and holds the records for the most wins (103), pole positions (103), and podium finishes (192), among others
### Response:
| Sir Lewis Carl Davidson Hamilton (born 7 January 1985) is a British racing driver currently competing in Formula One, driving for the Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula One Team. In Formula One, Hamilton has won a joint-record seven World Drivers' Championship titles (tied with Michael Schumacher), and holds the records for the most wins (103), pole positions (103), and podium finishes (192), among others | Born and raised in Stevenage, Hertfordshire, Hamilton joined the McLaren young driver programme in 1998 at the age of 13, becoming the youngest racing driver ever to be contracted by a Formula One team. This led to a Formula One drive with McLaren for six years from 2007 to 2012, making Hamilton the first ever black driver to race in the series. In his inaugural season, Hamilton set numerous records as he finished runner-up to Kimi Räikkönen by one point. The following season, he won his maiden title in dramatic fashion—making a crucial overtake at the last corner on the last lap of the last race of the season—to become the then-youngest Formula One World Champion in history. After six years with McLaren, Hamilton signed with Mercedes in 2013.
Changes to the regulations for 2014 mandating the use of turbo-hybrid engines saw the start of a highly successful period for Hamilton, during which he won six further drivers' titles. Consecutive titles came in 2014 and 2015 during an intense rivalry with teammate Nico Rosberg. Following Rosberg's retirement in 2016, Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel became Hamilton's closest rival in two championship battles, in which Hamilton twice overturned mid-season point deficits to claim consecutive titles again in 2017 and 2018. His third and fourth consecutive titles followed in 2019 and 2020 to equal Schumacher's record of seven drivers' titles. Hamilton achieved his 100th pole position and race win during the 2021 season.
Hamilton has been credited with furthering Formula One's global following by appealing to a broader audience outside the sport, in part due to his high-profile lifestyle, environmental and social activism, and exploits in music and fashion. He has also become a prominent advocate in support of activism to combat racism and push for increased diversity in motorsport. Hamilton was the highest-paid Formula One driver from 2013 to 2021, and was ranked as one of the world's highest-paid athletes by Forbes of twenty-tens decade and 2021. He was also listed in the 2020 issue of Time as one of the 100 most influential people globally, and was knighted in the 2021 New Year Honours. Hamilton was granted honorary Brazilian citizenship in 2022. |

I've heard astronauts talk about the normalization of deviance and the risks therein. What is the normalization of deviance, and how do I avoid it? | Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request.
### Instruction:
I've heard astronauts talk about the normalization of deviance and the risks therein. What is the normalization of deviance, and how do I avoid it?
### Response:
| The normalization of deviance was a term coined by the sociologist Diane Vaughan who participated in the review of the Challenger disaster. It was later the the subject of a number of public talks by astronaut Mike Mullane. The theory is essentially that when we accept deviations from an expected standard, the deviation becomes the standard. In the Challenger disaster, engineers kept noticing rubber o-rings that came back from tests in an out of tolerance state. Because there were no dramatic failures during the tests, the engineers adjusted the standard for the o-rings to absorb these abnormalities. Unfortunately, by normalizing deviance from the expected standard, it led to an o-ring failing during the Challenger launch, and the Challenger shuttle disintegrated in flight. The normalization of deviance is an important pitfall to avoid when running any organization, but especially those which put its members in high risk situations, such as space travel. To avoid it, you must remember, or learn, how and why certain standards were developed and adhere to them, even when pressures are high. | |

From the example given in this paragraph, what is an eigenvector? | Below is an instruction that describes a task, paired with an input that provides further context. Write a response that appropriately completes the request.
### Instruction:
From the example given in this paragraph, what is an eigenvector?
### Input:
The Mona Lisa example pictured here provides a simple illustration. Each point on the painting can be represented as a vector pointing from the center of the painting to that point. The linear transformation in this example is called a shear mapping. Points in the top half are moved to the right, and points in the bottom half are moved to the left, proportional to how far they are from the horizontal axis that goes through the middle of the painting. The vectors pointing to each point in the original image are therefore tilted right or left, and made longer or shorter by the transformation. Points along the horizontal axis do not move at all when this transformation is applied. Therefore, any vector that points directly to the right or left with no vertical component is an eigenvector of this transformation, because the mapping does not change its direction. Moreover, these eigenvectors all have an eigenvalue equal to one, because the mapping does not change their length either.
