Maybe it's a primal thing, maybe we're just remembering how our distant human ancestors listened to wolf howls over a campfire but one thing is clear: howling at the moon is fun!\n\nHow to Howl\n1. Find audio recordings of actual wolf howls and listen to them. Listen to how the wolf howl changes pitch and how long the howl lasts.\n2. Inhale until your lungs are full to capacity with air. \n3. Form a wolf muzzle by cupping your hands around your mouth. \n4. Start howling at a low pitch then let your voice pitch slowly rise. Now let your howl get slowly louder. \n5. Keep howling until you run out of air then let your howl gradually fade. \n\nWhere to Howl\n1. Find a high spot to howl. Your voice will travel farther if you howl from a high point.\n2. If you're out in the wilderness, locate a high cliff or plateau. Remember to use common sense and don't get too close to the edge.\n3. Go ahead and howl and wait for a response. If there's a wolf or a wolf pack in the area, you'll probably get a howl back.\n\nWarning: Wolves are very social animals. If they hear you howl, they will come to investigate. If you hear wolves howl, clear out in the opposite direction. ", "role": "assistant" } ]

Garlic spray controls fungal plant diseases like leaf spots, early and late blight, and powdery mildew. This spray also works as a contact insecticide.

Let the mixture sit overnight. Then, strain out any remaining garlic pieces and pour the liquid into a clean spray bottle. Next, add the liquid dish soap and mineral or vegetable oil and shake the bottle vigorously to blend. \nSpray all plant parts thoroughly, including both sides of the leaves. Fungal spores tend to emerge on the leaves undersides, and it's also a favorite hiding spot for insects.\nThis DIY garlic spray is also an effective pest repellent. Use it wherever you notice significant pest activity in your garden. To avoid accidentally burning the plant's leaves, it's best to test home remedies like this on a small part of the plant first and monitor for any adverse reactions.", "role": "assistant" } ]

Global average temperature has increased about 1.8°F from 1901 to 2016.1 Changes of one or two degrees in the average temperature of the planet can cause potentially dangerous shifts in climate and weather. These real, observable changes are what we call climate change impacts​​​​​​ because they are the visible ways that climate change is affecting the Earth. For example, many places have experienced changes in rainfall, resulting in more floods, droughts, or intense rain, as well as more frequent and severe heat waves. \n\nThe planet's oceans and glaciers have also experienced changes—oceans are warming and becoming more acidic, ice caps are melting, and sea level is rising. As these and other changes become more pronounced in the coming decades, they will likely present challenges to our society and our environment.\n\nWarmer temperatures increase the frequency, intensity, and duration of heat waves,2 which can pose health risks, particularly for young children and the elderly.\nClimate change can also impact human health by worsening air and water quality, increasing the spread of certain diseases, and altering the frequency or intensity of extreme weather events.3\nRising sea level threatens coastal communities and ecosystems.4\nChanges in the patterns and amount of rainfall, as well as changes in the timing and amount of stream flow, can affect water supplies and water quality and the production of hydroelectricity.5\nChanging ecosystems influence geographic ranges of many plant and animal species and the timing of their lifecycle events, such as migration and reproduction.6\nIncreases in the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events, such as heat waves, droughts, and floods, can increase losses to property, cause costly disruptions to society, and reduce the affordability of insurance.7", "role": "user" }, { "content": "It can be denied no longer: climate change is real, and it is a threat to the globe.

[ { "content": "What is the role of magnesium in the human body, and what are the consequences of magnesium deficiency?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "Magnesium is an essential mineral required by the human body for a multitude of biochemical reactions. It plays a crucial role in energy production, protein synthesis, muscle and nerve function, blood glucose control, and blood pressure regulation. Magnesium is also important in bone development and helps with DNA and RNA synthesis. Despite its importance, magnesium deficiency, or hypomagnesemia, is not uncommon and can result from various factors such as poor dietary intake, chronic alcoholism, certain medications, or problems with intestinal absorption. Symptoms of magnesium deficiency can range from mild to severe. Mild symptoms may include loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, fatigue, and weakness. As the deficiency worsens, more serious symptoms can develop such as numbness, tingling, muscle cramps, seizures, personality changes, abnormal heart rhythms, and coronary spasms. Long term magnesium deficiency can also lead to more chronic conditions. For example, it can exacerbate osteoporosis by affecting the balance of calcium in the body and reducing the effectiveness of Vitamin D. Several studies have associated low magnesium levels with chronic diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, insulin resistance and type-2 diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, and migraine headaches.", "role": "assistant" } ]

Half of the team seemed to have some minor nagging injury, but they were all determined to grit their teeth and push through for one final game. The team lined up in their positions and the game began. Sam was a striker and played in a forward position on the field. He had spent the year prior doing sprints and other exercises to gain a speed advantage over his defenders. This benefitted Sam and his team greatly throughout the season as he was often able to consistently stride past the other team and score goals.

Sam's legs were tired; he had made several sprints down the field hoping for a pass to come his way, but his teammates were having little success getting clean passes through. The defensive players on the other team were large and athletic and offered few gaps Sam could take advantage of. Halftime seemed to breeze by, and before long the teams re-entered the pitch.

You don't have to wear a dress or a suit and tie, but arrive in business-casual attire, which includes dress pants, long-sleeved shirts, and closed-toe shoes. If you get hired, your HR manager will tell you more about the job dress code.\n3. Look up common job interview questions online, and practice answering them alone or with a friend. Note that your answers should almost always be positive even if the question seems to require a negative answer. For example, if the interviewer asks \"What's your biggest flaw?\", give them a minor flaw with a positive spin, such as \"Sometimes, I get a little too immersed in my work.\"\n4. Employers want extroverted employees. If you're an introvert, you don't have to invent a fake personality, but appear bubbly, friendly, and talkative. These employees work the best with customers and colleagues, making them ideal job candidates.\n5. Be professional, but don't worry about being perfect. If you're too perfect, it's creepy.

[ { "content": "Rewrite this information as a series of diary entries by an astronaut preparing for, experiencing, and reflecting on a journey to Mars.\n\nMars is much colder than Earth, in large part due to its greater distance from the sun. The average temperature is about minus 80 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 60 degrees Celsius), although it can vary from minus 195 F (minus 125 C) near the poles during the winter to as much as 70 F (20 C) at midday near the equator.\n\nThe carbon-dioxide-rich atmosphere of Mars is also about 100 times less dense than Earth's on average, but it is nevertheless thick enough to support weather, clouds and winds. The density of the atmosphere varies seasonally, as winter forces carbon dioxide to freeze out of the Martian air. In the ancient past, the atmosphere was likely significantly thicker and able to support water flowing on the planet's surface. Over time, lighter molecules in the Martian atmosphere escaped under pressure from the solar wind, which affected the atmosphere because Mars does not have a global magnetic field. This process is being studied today by NASA's MAVEN (Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution) mission.\n\nNASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter found the first definitive detections of carbon-dioxide snow clouds, making Mars the only body in the solar system known to host such unusual winter weather. The Red Planet also causes water-ice snow to fall from the clouds.\n\nThe dust storms on Mars are the largest in the solar system, capable of blanketing the entire Red Planet and lasting for months. One theory as to why dust storms can grow so big on Mars is because the airborne dust particles absorb sunlight, warming the Martian atmosphere in their vicinity. Warm pockets of air then flow toward colder regions, generating winds. Strong winds lift more dust off the ground, which, in turn, heats the atmosphere, raising more wind and kicking up more dust.\n\nThese dust storms can pose serious risks to robots on the Martian surface. For example, NASA's Opportunity Mars rover died after being engulfed in a giant 2018 storm, which blocked sunlight from reaching the robot's solar panels for weeks at a time.\n\nMars lies farther from the sun than Earth does, so the Red Planet has a longer year — 687 days compared to 365 for our home world. The two planets have similar day lengths, however; it takes about 24 hours and 40 minutes for Mars to complete one rotation around its axis, versus 24 hours for Earth.\n\nThe axis of Mars, like Earth's, is tilted in relation to the sun. This means that like Earth, the amount of sunlight falling on certain parts of the Red Planet can vary widely during the year, giving Mars seasons.\n\nHowever, the seasons that Mars experiences are more extreme than Earth's because the Red Planet's elliptical, oval-shaped orbit around the sun is more elongated than that of any of the other major planets. When Mars is closest to the sun, its southern hemisphere is tilted toward our star, giving the planet a short, warm summer, while the northern hemisphere experiences a short, cold winter. When Mars is farthest from the sun, the northern hemisphere is tilted toward the sun, giving it a long, mild summer, while the southern hemisphere experiences a long, cold winter.\n\nThe tilt of the Red Planet's axis swings wildly over time because it's not stabilized by a large moon. This situation has led to different climates on the Martian surface throughout its history. A 2017 study suggests that the changing tilt also influenced the release of methane into Mars' atmosphere, causing temporary warming periods that allowed water to flow. \n\nThe first person to observe Mars with a telescope was Galileo Galilei, in 1610. In the century following, astronomers discovered the planet's polar ice caps. In the 19th and 20th centuries, some researchers — most famously, Percival Lowell — believed they saw a network of long, straight canals on Mars that hinted at a possible civilization. However, these sightings proved to be mistaken interpretations of geological features.\n\nA number of Martian rocks have fallen to Earth over the eons, providing scientists a rare opportunity to study pieces of Mars without having to leave our planet. One of the most controversial finds was Allan Hills 84001 (ALH84001) — a Martian meteorite that, according to a 1996 study, likely contains tiny fossils and other evidence of Mars life. Other researchers cast doubt on this hypothesis, but the team behind the famous 1996 study have held firm to their interpretation, and the debate about ALH84001 continues today.\n\nIn 2018, a separate meteorite study found that organic molecules — the carbon-containing building blocks of life, although not necessarily evidence of life itself — could have formed on Mars through battery-like chemical reactions.\n\nRobotic spacecraft began observing Mars in the 1960s, with the United States launching Mariner 4 in 1964 and Mariners 6 and 7 in 1969. Those early missions revealed Mars to be a barren world, without any signs of the life or civilizations people such as Lowell had imagined there. In 1971, Mariner 9 orbited Mars, mapping about 80% of the planet and discovering its volcanoes and big canyons.", "role": "user" }, { "content": "Diary Entry 1 - January 1, 2023\nPreparing for our mission to Mars. She's a colder planet than Earth due to her greater distance from the sun. Her average temperature stays around -80°F. But things get even more extreme with temperatures reaching -195°F near the poles during winter. However, during midday near the equator, it can become quite bearable at 70°F.\n\nDiary Entry 2 - February 15, 2023\nThe Martian atmosphere is rich in CO2 but about 100 times less dense than ours. Interestingly, it's thick enough to support weather, clouds, and winds. Seasonal variations cause carbon dioxide to freeze out of the Martian air during winter. Some say, in the past, the atmosphere was likely denser, capable of supporting flowing water.\n\nDiary Entry 3 - April 5, 2023\nOver time, lighter molecules in the Martian atmosphere have escaped, largely due to pressure from the solar wind. Mars lacks a global magnetic field, so the atmosphere is affected more directly. NASA's MAVEN mission is studying this process currently, uncovering more mysteries of our destination.\n\nDiary Entry 4 - May 20, 2023\nNASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter has found carbon-dioxide snow clouds, making Mars unique in our solar system. Mars' winters are not just chilling but also dust-ridden. Dust storms there are the largest known, capable of blanketing the entire planet and lasting for months. This results from airborne dust absorbing sunlight and causing wind. I hope our equipment can withstand this Martian fury.\n\nDiary Entry 5 - July 10, 2023\nWe have finally arrived at our destination after about seven months. Mars has a longer year compared to Earth due to its farther distance from the sun — 687 days compared to our 365. Days there are nearly identical to ours, with a complete rotation taking about 24 hours and 40 minutes. This will surely help us in maintaining our Earth-based routines.\n\nDiary Entry 6 - August 25, 2023\nMars, like Earth, experiences seasons due to its axial tilt. The difference is, Martian seasons are more extreme. When Mars is closest to the sun, its southern hemisphere gets a short, warm summer, and the northern one gets a short, cold winter. When farthest, it's the other way around. This celestial ballet will be something to behold.\n\nDiary Entry 7 - October 1, 2023\nStill getting used to the environment here. The Martian axis tilt isn't stabilized by a large moon like Earth's. It has led to different climates on Mars throughout its history. A study suggests that the changing tilt might have caused temporary warming periods that allowed water to flow, releasing methane into Mars' atmosphere.\n\nDiary Entry 8 - November 15, 2023\nMars has been the subject of observation since Galileo Galilei used a telescope to study it in 1610. Astronomers later discovered its polar ice caps. Some even mistook geological features for long canals, hinting at a possible civilization. We are, in a way, stepping into the footprints of these early observers.\n\nDiary Entry 9 - December 30, 2023\nLike several Martian rocks have made their way to Earth, our return home will also provide scientists with information for unique study opportunities. Although not like the rock Allan Hills 84001 (ALH84001) that was found in 1996 and believed to contain potential evidence of Mars's life, this expedition still contributes significantly to our understanding.\n\nDiary Entry 10 - February 10, 2024\nReflecting on this mission manned mission, we have certainly come a long way since the robotic exploration of Mars that began in the 1960s. Early missions like Mariner 4 and Mariners 6 and 7 revealed Mars as a barren world. Later, Mariner 9 orbited Mars, mapping about 80% of the planet and discovering its volcanoes and grand canyons.

It might be easier to start with the least dirty items. You’ll find it keeps your water cleaner for a longer amount of time.\n5. Scrub your dishes with a sponge, brush, or dishcloth! Apply pressure as you wipe to get rid of stains. If there are stubborn areas, letting the dish or glass soak in the warm soapy water will help loosen it up.\n6. In a separate basin, run fresh water and rinse your dishes, making sure you’re clearing off suds and stains. For bowls and cups, this is extremely important. If you have any pots and pans, you might want to let them soak for longer, as cooked-on food and grease stains will be harder to clean.\n7. After you’ve rinsed your dishes, place them in the drying area. This can be a drying rack placed over a towel or simply drying them manually with a clean towel and putting them away.\n8. After all the dishes are out of the sink, you can drain the soapy warm water and use your sponge or brush to clean the sink of soap and food residue.\n9. It’s important to sanitize your dishwashing tools properly. The easiest way to do this is soaking them in a water and bleach mixture or running them through the dishwasher. \n10. Check your area and ensure everything is put away in its proper spot and your area is tidy and ready for the next round of dishes.\n\nIf you follow these steps, you can have clean and organized dishware that’s ready for your next meal!", "role": "assistant" } ]

[ { "content": "What are 5 excercises to build bigger arms in the gym?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "Here are five exercises you can do to grow your arms. \n\n1. Dead hang pull-up. \nThe dead hang pull-up is a variation of the standard pull-up and is excellent for working your biceps. Start by grabbing a pull-up bar underhanded so your palms are facing you. Your arms should be about shoulder-width apart. Hold your weight, cross your legs behind your body, and raise your feet slightly so your knees are bent. This is your starting position. To perform the exercise, pull yourself up so that your collarbone is in line with the bar. The trick to performing this exercise is to lower yourself at a slower pace. About 4 seconds will be best. Now repeat until you are unable to do any more. \n\n2. Rolling skull crusher with press. \nStart by lying on a bench with a dumbbell in each hand, raised straight above your chest. Now allow your elbows to bend so that the dumbbells fall beside your head in a controlled manner. Now reverse this motion so that the dumbbells are in the original position and perform a press like a bench press. Once you have completed all these motions, that's considered one rep. This exercise works your triceps and chest, so it's versatile when trying to build muscle. You can use a Swiss ball instead of a bench for more difficulty. This will work your abs as well. \n\n3. Drag curl.\nEveryone knows that curls help to build your biceps and arms in general. This exercise is no different in that sense but is performed with some differences. Start by holding the barbell with a shoulder-width, underhand grip. Now you should pull your shoulders down and back. When doing this, you should drag the bar up the front of your body, keep your elbows around, and slowly lower the barbell. To work slightly harder, try using dumbbells instead of a barbell. \n\n4. Grasshopper pushup.\nLike curls, pushups are renowned as an excellent exercise for building muscle and strength. This variation pays particular attention to your arms. To perform this exercise, get in a standard pushup position, but instead of having your palms open, use your fists to stabilize yourself. The inside of your hands should be facing each other. Once in this position, you perform a pushup as usual by lowering your chest to the ground and pushing back up to start. If this hurts your fists, you can face your fingers out to work the same muscles. \n\n5. Supinated cable row. \nTo perform this exercise, you will need a cable station. Use the low pulley on the cable station and attach a straight bar. Using an underhand grip, shoulder width apart, row the bar towards your belly button and return with control. Keep your hips back and your stance soft so that your torso is around 45 degrees angle to vertical. You can also do this with a barbell once you have mastered the exercise with the cable station.

Social media: Social media is a great way to connect with new people in your area. For example, if there is a Reddit community for your new city, you can make a post there detailing a little bit about yourself, what you're interested in, and that you'd like to meet some new people. Of course, always exercise caution if and when you decide to meet up with anyone you have been talking to online.\n2.

If you have some colleagues that you click with, try asking them if they'd like to hang out outside of work and see how that goes.\n3. Social events: Going to a large event is a great way to meet new people and maybe even develop friendships. For example, if you have a favorite music artist who is playing a show in your city, turn up a little early and try to strike up conversations with others waiting in line. Your shared love of the artist will already give you a common ground for building a friendship.\n4. Take up a new hobby: Whether you have an existing hobby or want to take up a new one, it is a good way to meet new people who share your interests. Look online to see if there are any local groups or meet-ups for people who pursue the hobbies you enjoy.\n5. Friendship apps: Apps aren't just for dating anymore!
