},
{
"from": "human",
"value": "Great, how does the scoring work?"
},
{
"from": "assistant",
"value": "It’s not really a single scoring system, but there are several different scoring systems that can be used. The most common scoring system is to award four points to the team that wins the most scoring plays in the game. If a game ends in a draw (which is rare) then both teams get zero points. In a draw there are points for the team that scores the most touchdowns, and another point for each team that has a successful field goal. For non-regulation games that are tied after one quarter of play, the points will be awarded to the team with more points, regardless of the tie-breaking system used. But the common tie-breaking system is for the teams to pick which end of the field they want to play from in the second half, and then they’ll play the remainder of the game using the first half points as points towards the tie-breaking score."

{
"from": "human",
"value": "How do you score a touchdown?"
},
{
"from": "assistant",
"value": "A touchdown is when one of the team’s players crosses the opponent’s goal line with the ball in hand. There are different ways to score a touchdown depending on the position of the ball relative to the goal line. There’s a “touchdown” when the ball crosses the goal line and both the ball and the player are over the goal line. There’s a “two-point conversion” if the ball crosses the goal line and only the player is over the goal line. The player can also “score” a touchdown without the ball crossing the goal line, in which case the player just holds the ball up in the air for several seconds (or has to kick it down from the end zone) to score."

If you can find a way to pay attention to your present moment, and not let yourself think about the future or the past, that might help you relax. It would also help you to just be more present, rather than worrying about your anxiety. Have you ever done a mindfulness practice before?"

I can recommend a recipe that comes from a community of people who practice a style of cooking called \"Slow Food.\" They talk about using the best ingredients, and cooking methods that are respectful to the people who farm or make your food. This will help ensure that you are supporting small, local farms and producers, so you know where your food comes from. Their recipes are also great because they tend to be big, delicious meals, and are inspired by Italian and French food. This recipe is adapted from one called Stuffed Turkey with Chestnuts, Sage and Apple, from The New York Times:\n\nIngredients\n\n1 turkey, 20 to 25 pounds\n\nKosher salt\n\n3 lemons\n\n2 ounces unsalted butter, cut into small cubes\n\n3⁄4 cup dry white wine\n\n3⁄4 cup warm chicken stock\n\n3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh sage\n\n2 garlic cloves, minced\n\n2 apples, peeled and sliced\n\n6 ounces dried chestnuts, soaked overnight in water to cover and drained\n\n1 pound Italian pork sausage, removed from casings\n\n1 pound prosciutto or ham\n\n1 tablespoon unsalted butter\n\n2 small yellow onions, chopped\n\n3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley\n\nSteps\n\nPreheat oven to 425 degrees F.\n\nRemove giblets from turkey and discard. Pat turkey dry and season liberally inside and out with salt.\n\nPlace 2 lemon halves and 1/2 teaspoon salt inside turkey cavity. Squeeze juice of remaining lemon into a bowl and stir in butter, wine and chicken stock. Drizzle mixture inside turkey and under skin. Turn turkey breast side up and push some lemon-salt mixture inside legs. Tuck in wings under back. Skewer breast to back with wood skewers.\n\nPlace turkey in roasting pan and roast for 1 hour. Reduce oven to 325 degrees F and roast until juices run clear, about 2 hours and 15 minutes, basting occasionally with pan juices and continuing to use additional lemon juice and butter as needed.\n\nAfter roasting, remove turkey from oven, take out skewers and allow turkey to rest on a carving board for at least 1 hour. Let remaining juices in pan drain.\n\nMeanwhile, in a medium saucepan over medium heat, cook chestnuts in 2 tablespoons butter, chopped sage, garlic and 1⁄2 cup stock for about"

{
"from": "assistant",
"value": "Alright, I can give you some suggested names and a description of their artwork. The painter Vincent Van Gogh was an important artist in the late 1800s, who focused on what we call “Expressionist” art. He believed that the artist should reflect their feelings in their art, rather than trying to describe them. That means that there will often be very high emotion or intensity in his paintings. And an interesting result of this is that some people don’t really like Van Gogh’s paintings. For instance, when you Google his painting The Starry Night, you’ll see lots of people sharing photos of it on social media saying things like “I hate this painting” and “It’s gross.” Other people find the high emotion of the painting intriguing or refreshing, and enjoy it. So when thinking about a Van Gogh painting, keep in mind that he might have painted something you find exciting, but other people might find it upsetting. For instance, let’s say you found the painting Starry Night exciting. Some of the other paintings I’ll mention could be similar to Starry Night, so be prepared to see some pretty intense artworks."

{
"from": "assistant",

The vast majority of phones are sold with a set of “baseline” features that are very common among devices in the market. The phone will probably be able to receive calls and text messages. It should be able to browse the internet and check your email, and have a camera and video camera. Do you want any of those things?\n\n- Once you know which baseline features you want, you can go to a shop and purchase one. Your plan for this phone will depend on your mobile provider:\n\n- If you are already with a carrier that sells phones, your phone will come with a “Contract,” which is a set of terms and conditions that you will agree to. Your contract will last for some number of months, and at the end of the contract, you’ll either renew your contract, or purchase a new phone and start again.\n\n- If you are switching carriers, you’ll also be purchasing a contract, although it will not be directly tied to a specific phone."

},
{
"from": "human",
"value": "Okay, I see. So why should I buy an unlocked phone instead?"
},
{

"value": "Well, you are paying the same monthly fee for this phone as you would with a contract, but your commitment is more flexible.

She made a deal with a manager and moved to Chicago. She developed her style, and became known as one of the finest blues singers of all time. She died young in 1937.

It was later picked up and popularized by African Americans who lived in northern cities like Chicago, and that's where Bessie Smith came from. Blues music is generally a very somber and lamenting style, it frequently focuses on sad and painful feelings. The reason it's often associated with that is that it comes from the lives of people who were enduring and enduring harsh lives.

You can sometimes find the gills on the underside of the fish, and this is a good place to start for bones. If you're skimming, or scraping, or cutting with a knife, use a steady and controlled hand. Check your work every few strokes to make sure you've gotten them all. Try to leave the outside of the fish unblemished, so you can see the skin if you like.

Place the fish on its side on a cutting board. The fish's fins should rest on the cutting board. Lay a sheet of plastic on top of the fish, next to the head. Have a bottle of lemon juice ready, with a paint brush inside. Use the brush to paint the lemon juice on the fish, and then quickly rub it in. The acidic quality of the lemon juice removes the scales. You may have to do this several times."

At its most basic level, a touch screen phone is simply an ordinary smartphone, a phone with a touch screen. But when you use a touch screen phone, rather than simply tapping on a screen with your fingers, you “touch” the screen by using one or both hands. So, one hand is the “main” hand, while the other is the “secondary” hand. When the main hand “touches” the screen, this is called the “touch.” The touch can be “detected” by the phone."

{

So the phone has infrared light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and infrared sensors in the screen that can “see” your finger and the blocked light. There’s also another technology, capacitive sensing, which detects the capacitance of the skin of your finger and its dielectric properties. These also work, but infrared sensing is easier."

The price of moving also depends on a bunch of factors like the weight of the things being moved, and whether they are large or small.

In this manner you can gradually increase the pressure of your finger until the cat is comfortable with the brush."

},
{
"from": "assistant",
"value": "The problem with diet is often that people don’t know what they’re eating, so if you’re eating fast food it might be less nourishing than what you think it is. One way to get this information might be a nutrition class where you learn what you’re eating, as a side-benefit of getting a detailed description of what nutrients are found in common foods. Eating fewer processed foods or less meat might help, and it might be more affordable to eat out less frequently, so you can use the extra money for healthier foods that you can prepare at home.\n\nBut regardless of diet, the most important thing might be exercise, and especially exercise that makes you out-of-breath. Running is a great one, but most people have trouble with that, and for many people it just isn’t appealing. But exercising more slowly, even at a fast walking pace, could have huge benefits for mood and energy throughout the day. For example, a brisk walk lasting about an hour every day can be a great energizing activity.\n\nIf you want to think more about what other activities might help you feel more energetic, can I ask why that’s important to you?"

},
{
"from": "assistant",
"value": "That makes a lot of sense! I wonder if it’s related to a connection between energy and sleepiness. When we get tired, our brain releases something called “monoamine oxidase”, which causes us to feel sleepy, and it does this more in the middle of the day. So by exercising, we might be reducing our levels of that “monoamine oxidase” and making it easier to fight off sleepiness. If you find this idea interesting, I can tell you more about how exercise can help us feel more awake, and also about why we feel tired in the first place."

"from": "human",
"value": "Sounds good. Maybe I can try to get a little bit more sleep too"
},
{
"from": "assistant",
"value": "When people are stressed, tired, or anxious, their natural sleep cycle can get thrown off. So getting more sleep can definitely help, and most people will sleep better if they’re more relaxed. But even if you feel pretty relaxed and are already getting enough sleep, you can still have trouble falling asleep or have trouble staying asleep, in which case meditation or self-hypnosis might be a good idea.\n\nMore generally, even if you are getting a healthy amount of sleep, it’s good to get regular exercise as a way to fight off feeling tired. So I’d like to get back to that topic for a moment, and tell you more about what exercise might be doing to reduce feeling tired.\n\nOur body’s physiological systems, including the nervous system and hormones, can often be tricked into not feeling tired by creating small changes to our activity level. Small changes are better than big ones, because they’re more likely to be noticeable. For example, it’s harder to notice if we go from lying down in bed to sitting up in bed than if we go from sitting up to standing up. But our body is also able to reduce our level of fatigue very quickly, sometimes within a minute or"
