[ { "content": "Computer, how do you define “ceramic materials?” How long have people used them?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "Ceramics are a wide category of materials. At the most basic, a ceramic material is one that is not based around metallic elements or around organic (carbon-hydrogen) molecules. They can usually withstand temperatures of 1,000 degrees Celsius without degrading and some formulations can take much higher heat loads.\n\nSome elements on the periodic table can be considered ceramic on their own. Pure carbon and silicon are among the more common elements that can be considered ceramic. Artificial ceramics are made by forming the item you want from clay or a conglomeration of specialty materials and then heating (firing) it until the material will no longer dissolve in water. Many ceramic items are also glazed on the surface so that water cannot soak into the material’s natural pores. \n\nModern materials scientists have formulated specialty ceramics, but at their most basic, humans have been making artificial ceramics for at least 26,000 years. The oldest known archaeological evidence of artificial ceramic items were sculptures. 19,000-year-old pottery fragments are known, but ceramic pottery doesn’t appear to have become very common until about 10,000 years ago.", "role": "assistant" } ]

My house is a 30-minute commute by car to my place of work. Every day, I drive the I-100 route from my home to work, from my home to the grocery store, or from my home to the school my kids attend to pick them up. And every day that I travel on the I-100, I am greeted by the approximately 100 potholes dotted along the 1-mile-long stretch of road. I am familiar with the number of potholes in the road because I have been traveling over this dilapidated roadway for close to two years now, wondering when the local authorities will decide to fix it and make it driveable again.\nI'll be clear when I say that [Town] is not a rainy place, nor is it a place that experiences many earthquakes or other natural disasters that could render the road undrivable. However, the I-100 is a frequently used public throughway - one that can see anywhere between 50-100 cars a minute on a slow day! Most - if not all - commuters of the I-100 rely on this stretch of road to get to the many surrounding areas including shops, schools, businesses, and gas stations. By leaving the road unfixed for two years, the local government has done its constituents a huge disservice and has left many of us with a bad taste in our mouths.\nI refuse to believe that the insane amount of money I pay in taxes to my local government is being misappropriated or mishandled in such a way that they can spend money to build a brand-new park but can't spend enough money to fix the road leading to it. It is unconscionable that our government would be this backward in its thinking.\nSo, consider this idea for a change: instead of printing stories about the new animals at the zoo or why almond milk prices are increasing, maybe print a story or two to give some exposure to the issues that matter. In this case, you can talk about why the local government is refusing to spend money on much-needed infrastructure repair.\n\n- [Signature]", "role": "assistant" } ]

A study produced by the British and Foreign Bible Society (founded in 1804) calculated that 2,458,000,000 Bibles were printed between 1815 and 1975.\n\nIn the 21st century, Bibles are printed at a rate of roughly 80 million copies per year.", "role": "assistant" } ]

[ { "content": "I am visiting Hawaii next week and I'd like to try out the native cuisine.

Hawaii is a melting pot of cultures, and it is reflected in the types of foods available there. Here is a list of 5 foods that you can eat while you're in Hawaii:\n\n1. Laulau - This tasty entree is made from a generous portion of pork, along with tiny bits of butterfish, wrapped in the leaves of the taro plant and steamed until well cooked. Laulau is a staple of Hawaiian cuisine that is usually served with side dishes such as white rice, macaroni salad, and lomi salmon (diced tomato, salmon, and onions).\n\n2. Kalua pork - Kalua pork is another delicious entree that consists of pork that has been seasoned and smoked. A whole pig is placed over a spit and cooked over Kiawe (mesquite) wood until the meat is tender and falls off the bone. Like laulau, kalua pork is served with side dishes as part of a complete meal.\n\n3. Shaved ice - Also known as ice shave in certain parts of Hawaii, shaved ice is a snowcone that is served in a paper cone cup and flavored with different syrups. Most places in Hawaii that serve shaved ice have numerous flavors such as vanilla, cherry, lemon, strawberry, and even cola. If you're feeling adventurous, try rainbow shaved ice (all the flavors mixed into one snowcone) or shaved ice with ice cream at the bottom of the cone!\n\n4. Spicy garlic shrimp - Many food trucks around Hawaii serve spicy garlic shrimp plates. Spicy garlic shrimp is made with shrimp that is cooked with garlic, Sriracha sauce, and butter and served on a bed of white or brown rice and a leafy green or macaroni salad. Typically served in styrofoam or cardboard food plates, spicy garlic shrimp plates are well portioned and guaranteed to fill you up.\n\n5. Poi - While this particular dish might be polarizing (you will either love it or hate it) it is definitely a Native Hawaiian dish that those who love swear by. Poi is a lavender-colored paste that is made from the corm (root) of the taro plant which is steamed until soft and mashed into a paste. The paste is then mixed with milk and sugar until it has a yogurt-like consistency and served either immediately or a day or two later when it has fermented (some people swear by this!)", "role": "assistant" } ]

Wear unique accessories. Look for unique scarves, necklaces, hats, belts, etc. Try pairing a statement necklace with your next going-out outfit.\n4. Add distinctive glasses to your style. Even if you don't need glasses, you can find prescriptionless pairs just for looks. Consider getting several styles to have more options to change up your look.", "role": "assistant" } ]

It can be difficult to manage the personalities and unspoken factors that influence these interactions. Here are a few tips that can be of assistance: \n\n∙ Be clear and concise: structure your communication logically. For example, you could start by stating the issue or goal you want to discuss, then explain why it's important, and finally present your solution or recommendation. It's also important to avoid using jargon or acronyms that might make sense to you but are unfamiliar to a leader who isn't as \"in the weeds\" of the work. \n\n∙ Be prepared with the information you need to communicate: Think through what information your listener might need to understand your point of view, and then make sure you have that information ready. This can help you avoid being put on the spot or having to wing it. \n\n∙ Know your audience: Try to do some advanced research on who you'll be talking with and get an understanding of their perspective on the topic. What are their priorities? What are they looking to hear or discuss? With senior leaders, it's often helpful to understand their management style and how they like to receive information. Some leaders might like data and stats, while others want a more descriptive presentation. \n\n∙ Be proactive rather than reactive: Try to take the initiative to communicate, rather than waiting for a problem to arise or a question to be asked. Being proactive can also mean anticipating potential issues and addressing them before they become a problem. Try to get ahead of the game.\n\nThese tips can make an immediate impact towards being a more effective communicator. One more thing to keep in mind though: always seek feedback. Just because you considered the checklist above doesn't mean there isn't room for you to improve. Asking for feedback from your senior leaders can help you understand what's working well and where you can make adjustments. ", "role": "assistant" } ]

Marriage gave a woman a degree of economic security and social standing encapsulated in the title húsfreyja (lady of the house). Norse laws assert the housewife's authority over the 'indoor household'. She had the important roles of managing the farm's resources, conducting business, as well as child-rearing, although some of this would be shared with her husband.\n\nAfter the age of 20, an unmarried woman, referred to as maer and mey, reached legal majority and had the right to decide her place of residence and was regarded as her own person before the law. An exception to her independence was the right to choose a husband, as marriages were normally arranged by the family. The groom would pay a bride-price (mundr) to the bride's family, and the bride brought assets into the marriage, as a dowry. A married woman could divorce her husband and remarry.\n\nConcubinage was also part of Viking society, whereby a woman could live with a man and have children with him without marrying; such a woman was called a frilla. Usually she would be the mistress of a wealthy and powerful man who also had a wife. The wife had authority over the mistresses if they lived in her household. Through her relationship to a man of higher social standing, a concubine and her family could advance socially; although her position was less secure than that of a wife. There was little distinction made between children born inside or outside marriage: both had the right to inherit property from their parents, and there were no \"legitimate\" or \"illegitimate\" children. However, children born in wedlock had more inheritance rights than those born out of wedlock.\n\nA woman had the right to inherit part of her husband's property upon his death, and widows enjoyed the same independent status as unmarried women. The paternal aunt, paternal niece and paternal granddaughter, referred to as odalkvinna, all had the right to inherit property from a deceased man. A woman with no husband, sons or male relatives could inherit not only property but also the position as head of the family when her father or brother died. Such a woman was referred to as Baugrygr, and she exercised all the rights afforded to the head of a family clan, until she married, by which her rights were transferred to her new husband.\n\nWomen had religious authority and were active as priestesses (gydja) and oracles (sejdkvinna). They were active within art as poets (skalder) and rune masters, and as merchants and medicine women. There may also have been female entrepreneurs, who worked in textile production. Women may also have been active within military office: the tales about shieldmaidens are unconfirmed, but some archaeological finds such as the Birka female Viking warrior may indicate that at least some women in military authority existed.", "role": "user" }, { "content": "- húsfreyj is the Viking term for a lady of the house.

Didgeridoo - Tape two or more tubes together into one long tube and blow into one end to make sounds. You can watch videos of people playing Didgeridoos in Australia.\n3. Animals - Get four plastic forks and cut them in half. Glue the two halves back together at a 90-degree angle so they look like animal legs with the tines of the fork as claws. Then, glue the forks to the tubes like four limbs. Cut shapes out of paper to make animal faces and tape them to one end of the tube. Do the same with tails and put them on the other end.\n4. Ring garlands - Cut the tube into rings with a pair of scissors. Put a cut in one ring so you can put it through another ring like links in a chain.

Edible Packaging: Develop packaging material made from edible substances, such as seaweed, starch, or fruit peels. This would eliminate waste and provide an eco-friendly alternative to traditional packaging. This idea aligns to reduce waste and offers an innovative solution where packaging can be consumed along with the product, minimizing the effects on the environment.\n\n2. Biodegradable Packaging: Create packaging materials that can easily decompose in natural environments, reducing environmental impact and waste accumulation. Biodegradable materials break down naturally, reducing waste accumulation in landfills and oceans, while promoting a circular economy. \n\n3. Plant-based Plastics: Explore the use of bioplastics derived from renewable resources like corn, sugarcane, or algae. These materials have a lower carbon footprint and can be recycled or composted. Using renewable resources for plastic production decreases reliance on fossil fuels and reduces greenhouse gas emissions. \n\n4. Mushroom Packaging: Investigate the use of mycelium, the vegetative part of mushrooms, as a sustainable packaging material. It is biodegradable, requires fewer resources to produce, and can be molded into various shapes. Mushroom packaging is a biodegradable and sustainable alternative to traditional packaging materials, utilizing agricultural waste as a resource.\n\n5. Minimalist Packaging: Design packaging that minimizes the use of materials and focuses on the essential aspects of product protection. This approach reduces waste and promotes a more sustainable supply chain. By focusing on essential packaging elements, waste is minimized. \n\n6. Reusable Packaging: Develop a system that encourages consumers to return packaging for reuse, similar to how glass milk bottles were collected and refilled in the past. This approach reduces waste and engages consumers in the sustainability process. This option promotes a circular economy and reduces the overall demand for new packaging materials.\n\n7. Smart Packaging: Explore the integration of sensors or indicators on the packaging that can monitor food freshness, temperature, or quality. This would help reduce waste by providing accurate information to consumers. Providing real-time information about quality and freshness helps prevent food waste by enabling informed decisions. \n\n8. Upcycled Packaging: Investigate the use of upcycled materials, such as recycled paper or discarded textiles, to create unique and eco-friendly packaging solutions. Using discarded materials for packaging reduces waste and repurposes resources that would otherwise be sent to landfills.", "role": "assistant" } ]

Not only can they give you answers to possible problems you're having, but they are trained to help you through all sorts of concerns you have regarding your health and they will be able to refer you to a therapist if necessary. It's helpful to disclose that you are experiencing health anxiety so they can work with you on record keeping, tracking the actual state of your health, and avoiding costly and unnecessary screening tests.\n2) Live a healthier lifestyle. If you are worried about your physical health, it may help to improve your lifestyle. When your body feels good, your mind does too. Try exercising, eating healthier, and drinking more water. There's also more that goes into a healthier lifestyle, like interaction. Stay active in your community, make new friends, try new hobbies, and go out of your comfort zone.\n3) Regularly attend check-ups. Don't miss any check-ups, whether it be for a doctor, dentist, or another specialist. While you're at these check-ups, ask any questions you have about your health and share your concerns with them. They can help you feel better about any medical anxiety you have.\n4) Meditate. Meditation is a way to feel your body and appreciate it, even when it doesn't feel perfectly comfortable. By meditating, you are practicing looking deeper within and experiencing what your body is feeling. You'll have a better understanding of your body and what's going on with it through meditation. Meditation is also relaxing and can help ease your feelings of anxiety.

[ { "content": "In fencing, where does a foil need to touch an opponent to score a hit? Please reference the following information.\n\nThe foil is a light thrusting weapon with a maximum weight of 500 grams. The foil targets the torso, but not the arms or legs.

Touches that land outside the target area (called an off-target touch and signaled by a distinct color on the scoring apparatus) stop the action, but are not scored. Only a single touch can be awarded to either fencer at the end of a phrase. If both fencers land touches within a close enough interval of milliseconds to register two lights on the machine, the referee uses the rules of \"right of way\" to determine which fencer is awarded the touch, or if an off-target hit has priority over a valid hit, in which case no touch is awarded.

At least they wished to find some way of knowing when she was coming, so they might have time to run away. Indeed, something had to be done, for they lived in such constant fear of her claws that they hardly dared stir from their dens by night or day.\nMany plans were discussed, but none of them was thought good enough. At last a very young Mouse got up and said:\n\"I have a plan that seems very simple, but I know it will be successful. All we have to do is to hang a bell about the Cat's neck. When we hear the bell ringing we will know immediately that our enemy is coming.\"\nAll the Mice were much surprised that they had not thought of such a plan before.

But let me ask one question: Who will bell the Cat?\"", "role": "user" }, { "content": "The Mice want to bell the Cat so that they will be able to hear her coming and will have time to run away.", "role": "assistant" } ]
