Mature sea turtles may migrate thousands of miles to reach breeding sites. After mating at sea, adult female sea turtles return to land to lay their eggs. Different species of sea turtles exhibit various levels of philopatry. In the extreme case, females return to the same beach where they hatched. This can take place every two to four years in maturity. The mature nesting female hauls herself onto the beach, nearly always at night, and finds suitable sand in which to create a nest. Using her hind flippers, she digs a circular hole 40 to 50 centimeters (16 to 20 in) deep. After the hole is dug, the female then starts filling the nest with her clutch of soft-shelled eggs. Depending on the species, a typical clutch may contain 50–350 eggs. After laying, she re-fills the nest with sand, re-sculpting and smoothing the surface, and then camouflaging the nest with vegetation until it is relatively undetectable visually. She may also dig decoy nests. The whole process takes 30 to 60 minutes.

Produced by Marvel Studios and distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures,[a] it is the sixth film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). Written and directed by Joss Whedon, the film features an ensemble cast including Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo, Chris Hemsworth, Scarlett Johansson, and Jeremy Renner as the Avengers, alongside Tom Hiddleston, Stellan Skarsgård, and Samuel L. Jackson. In the film, Nick Fury and the spy agency S.H.I.E.L.D. recruit Tony Stark, Steve Rogers, Bruce Banner, Thor, Natasha Romanoff, and Clint Barton to form a team capable of stopping Thor's brother Loki from subjugating Earth.\n\nThe film's development began when Marvel Studios received a loan from Merrill Lynch in April 2005. After the success of the film Iron Man in May 2008, Marvel announced that The Avengers would be released in July 2011 and would bring together Stark (Downey), Rogers (Evans), Banner (at the time Edward Norton),[b] and Thor (Hemsworth) from Marvel's previous films. With the signing of Johansson as Romanoff in March 2009, Renner as Barton in June 2010, and Ruffalo replacing Norton as Banner in July 2010, the film was pushed back for a 2012 release. Whedon was brought on board in April 2010 and rewrote the original screenplay by Zak Penn. Production began in April 2011 in Albuquerque, New Mexico, before moving to Cleveland, Ohio in August and New York City in September. The film has more than 2,200 visual effects shots.\n\nThe Avengers premiered in Los Angeles on April 11, 2012, and was released in the United States on May 4, as the final film in Phase One of the MCU. The film received praise for Whedon's direction and screenplay, visual effects, action sequences, acting, and musical score. The film grossed over $1.5 billion worldwide, setting numerous box office records and becoming the third-highest-grossing film of all time at the time of its release and the highest-grossing film of 2012, as well as the first Marvel production to generate $1 billion in ticket sales. In 2017, The Avengers was featured as one of the 100 greatest films of all time in an Empire magazine poll. It received a nomination for Best Visual Effects at the 85th Academy Awards, among numerous other accolades.

Staying inside for long periods of time can increase anxiety and stress and walking outside can circumvent those issues if they arise.\n\nMaintaining a healthy weight:\n\nWalking can help a person maintain a healthy weight.

Inside, it uses `random.sample()` to choose 3 cards after converting it into a list, where it then returns them after a few print statements. Later, we call the function and store the results in the variable `three_cards`. From there, we remove the 3 cards from the original tarot deck. ", "role": "assistant" } ]
[ { "content": "Summarize this info. Have the last sentence involve Andy Warhol. \n\nOne of the types of paint for art you’ll often spot in a market is acrylic paint. Acrylic paint is the most common of the paint types. It is a favorite for many artists because it is cost-effective and often comes in convenient packaging. Most stores sell a wide selection of acrylic paint colors in single tubes or packs. Another bonus is that it is non-toxic, which makes it a great option for kids too!\n\nAcrylic paint is water-based. It is a mixture of pigment with an acrylic polymer emulsion for its binder. Because of its materials, it sticks to most surfaces, such as canvases, woods, and metals. It also dries faster than most types of paint, which makes it convenient for artists who don’t like to wait. Artists can also mix water with acrylic paint, which can dilute the thick paint and make it resemble watercolor.\n\nOne of the most famous artists who liked to use acrylic paint is Andy Warhol.

[ { "content": "Since this is a blog post with personal phrases and casual talk, write this blog post to be more formal, and cut out most of the fluff, fancy adjectives, personal thoughts, and embellishment.\n\n'Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone\" is a red-blooded adventure movie, dripping with atmosphere, filled with the gruesome and the sublime, and surprisingly faithful to the novel. A lot of things could have gone wrong, and none of them have: Chris Columbus' movie is an enchanting classic that does full justice to a story that was a daunting challenge. The novel by J.K. Rowling was muscular and vivid, and the danger was that the movie would make things too cute and cuddly. It doesn't. Like an \"Indiana Jones\" for younger viewers, it tells a rip-roaring tale of supernatural adventure, where colorful and eccentric characters alternate with scary stuff like a three-headed dog, a pit of tendrils known as the Devil's Snare and a two-faced immortal who drinks unicorn blood. Scary, yes, but not too scary--just scary enough.\n\nThree high-spirited, clear-eyed kids populate the center of the movie. Daniel Radcliffe plays Harry Potter, he with the round glasses, and like all of the young characters he looks much as I imagined him, but a little older. He once played David Copperfield on the BBC, and whether Harry will be the hero of his own life in this story is much in doubt at the beginning.\n\nDeposited as a foundling on a suburban doorstep, Harry is raised by his aunt and uncle as a poor relation, then summoned by a blizzard of letters to become a student at Hogwarts School, an Oxbridge for magicians. Our first glimpse of Hogwarts sets the tone for the movie's special effects. Although computers can make anything look realistic, too much realism would be the wrong choice for \"Harry Potter,\" which is a story in which everything, including the sets and locations, should look a little made up. The school, rising on ominous Gothic battlements from a moonlit lake, looks about as real as Xanadu in \"Citizen Kane,\" and its corridors, cellars and great hall, although in some cases making use of real buildings, continue the feeling of an atmospheric book illustration. At Hogwarts, Harry makes two friends and an enemy. The friends are Hermione Granger (Emma Watson), whose merry face and tangled curls give Harry nudges in the direction of lightening up a little, and Ron Weasley (Rupert Grint), all pluck, luck and untamed talents. The enemy is Draco Malfoy (Tom Felton), who will do anything, and plenty besides, to be sure his house places first at the end of the year.\n\nThe adult cast of prominent British actors play their roles believably. There is a broad style of British acting which wouldn't have worked in this movie, so the actors made some changes. Alan Rickman draws out his words yet somehow stays in character. Maggie Smith is Professor Minerva McGonagall, who assigns first year students at Hogwarts like Harry, to one of the school's four houses. Richard Harris is long-beared Dumbledore, the school's headmaster. Robbie Coltrane is the gamekeeper, Hagrid, who has a record of misbehavior, says important things yet is in somewhat disbelief of them.\n\nComputers create gravity-defying action scenes. Readers of the book will wonder how the movie brings the game of Quidditch to life. If Quidditch is a masterfully-crafted sequence, there are other great scenes and sets brought to life through the use of technology. A chess game with life-size chess pieces. A room with flying keys. The previously-mentioned Devil's Snare and a dark forest where a creature who threatens Harry is scared away by a centaur. Not to mention the dark shadows of Hogwarts library, cellars, hidden passages, and dungeons, where an invisibility cloak becomes useful for hiding.\n\n\"Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone\" is predicted to be an ageless classic, set to make many generations of fans. It doesn't overwhelm the audience with thrills, makes sure to tell a story and to create characters purposefully.

Fewer Billing and Paycheck Issues \nSlow-paying clients and incorrect paychecks due to human error can do severe damage to your turnover rate. When you use a TMS program, it can help guarantee your drivers are paid accurately and on time. These programs also provide the option to create statements that are straightforward and easy to understand. \n\n3. Improved Driver Analytics \nOwners of large fleets can learn a large amount of information from the data they collect from different sources. But, if you are unable to collect that data and present it in a way where everyone on your team can understand it, that information is useless to you.

This finding was recently published in the journal Psychological Science.\n\nLoneliness on the brain\nElisa Baek, an assistant professor of psychology at the University of Southern California-Dornsife, led the investigation when she was a postdoctoral fellow at UCLA. She and her colleagues utilized functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to record the brains of college students as they watched a collection of 14 short videos during a 90-minute session. The videos included highlights from sporting events, clips from documentaries, and emotional depictions of human life, and 66 students participated. After undergoing the lengthy scans, they subsequently completed an extensive questionnaire intended to gauge how lonely they feel.\n\n\nAs Psychology Today defines, “loneliness is the state of distress or discomfort that results when one perceives a gap between one’s desires for social connection and actual experiences of it.”\n\nBaek and her co-authors then divided the students into “lonely” and “non-lonely” groups, determined by their scores from the survey. Students who had a loneliness score below the median were categorized as lonely, while those who scored above were considered non-lonely. The researchers then conducted a thorough statistical analysis in which each individual’s brain imaging results were compared to every other individual’s. They found that the more lonely a person was, the more distinct their brain imaging results were compared to those of the other volunteers.\n\nEach lonely person is lonely in their own way\n“We found that non-lonely individuals were very similar to each other in their neural responses, whereas lonely individuals were remarkably dissimilar to each other and to their non-lonely peers,” the researchers summarized.

You can also staple or glue padding (such as carpeting or a blanket) to the closed side of the bucket to help make it more comfortable to sit on.\n\nMix Concrete - Plastic buckets are a great DIY alternative to concrete mixers if you need to, well, mix concrete. Besides the natural ingredients to make concrete (cement, water, and aggregates such as crushed stone or gravel), you'll also need an appropriate tool such, as a trowel, to mix everything in the bucket. \n\nMake A Bird or Animal Feeder - A plastic bucket will work great as a DIY bird or animal feeder. Take a normal five-gallon bucket, and cut a hole at the bottom. Fit the elbow of a PVC pipe into this hole and cut open part of the pipe for the feed to show through. Be sure to close off the open end of the bucket with a lid. You can use this to feed chickens or other farm or homestead animals. \n\nUse As A Buoy or Rescue Flotation Device - Take a five-gallon bucket with a good lid and seal it so the air remains trapped inside. Attach a rope or paracord to the handle of the bucket, and then you can throw it out into a lake or river to mark a spot on the water (like a buoy). Alternatively, you can also use this same kind of device as an emergency rescue flotation device. Simply throw the sealed bucket out with the rope to someone in the water in need, and then they can grab onto it to stay afloat before you pull them back to safety. \n", "role": "assistant" } ]

We are seeking everyday men and women like you to become interstellar travelers. Mayland Itani's newest ship Damocles has left its drydock and awaits passengers to take to their new homes on an earth-like world lightyears away from Earth. The travel time to this distant planet is 200 years, in which you will be blissfully unaware in cryogenic hibernation. Make no mistake, this would be a fresh new start. You would not be able to take anything with you. However, this is an exciting adventure of a lifetime. \n\nTravelers would receive the following compensation: $2 million paid directly to your family once the Damocles has departed. Furthermore, all of your basic needs will be met once you leave cryogenic hibernation and arrive in the new world.\n\nThe trip will take two hundred years of travel time. For the duration, you and the rest of the travelers will be in cryogenic hibernation. There are inherent risks with space travel and planetary colonization including but not limited to:\n\n- Catastrophic ship failure\n- Space pirates\n- Unknown hostile alien species\n- Unknown planetary diseases\n- Space madness\n\nIf this sounds like the new start you're looking for, reach out to your nearest Mayland Itani representative.
