Please summarize what this text says about feeling like a zombie. A sleepless night can make you feel like the zombie apocalypse is here and you are one of them, but people are more resilient than you might think when it comes to sleep deprivation. “Evolution has designed us so that we can adapt and manage on insufficient sleep—otherwise, we wouldn’t be around today to talk about it,” Dr. Barwick says. “Your circadian rhythms will naturally help you feel more alert, despite the lost sleep.” But that doesn’t mean you should keep your sleep deficit going and try to make up for it on the weekend. Chronic lack of rest is linked to a host of health issues, so “it’s important to protect and prioritize sleep the following night, maybe even by going to bed a bit earlier than usual to catch up on some of the sleep you lost the night before,” Dr. Barwick says. “We can’t make up all of the sleep loss from a restless night, but research shows that sleeping a little longer the following one to two nights can help us recover faster.” In other words, one night of bad sleep—while not ideal—isn’t the end of the world, despite the zombie vibes.

Reduce this article from 488 to less than 150 words by summarizing and focusing on the essential facts. In this fact sheet, students will learn about the people who became actors, what an average day was like and more. Actors The life of an actor changed dramatically during Shakespeare’s lifetime. At first actors toured in companies, travelling the country to perform in towns and cities and in private homes. By the time Shakespeare died, London had several permanent theatres where the actors performed, drawing in huge audiences. Yet, despite the popularity of play-going, the acting profession had a bad reputation. Actors were seen as unruly and a threat to a peaceful society. Who became an actor? In Shakespeare’s time acting was a profession only open to boys and men. Women were acting elsewhere in Europe but they were not allowed to perform in public theatres in England until 1660. In an Elizabethan production boys would play the female parts, like Ophelia in Hamlet or Desdemona in Othello, whilst occasionally men would play the older women. There were many more actors working across the country at the time, but these are some of the best known Elizabethan actors: Richard Burbage, Edward Alleyn, Robert Armin, William Kemp and Nathan Field. What was an actor’s training? Many actors began their careers as young boys. They could join a company as an apprentice and be taught by one of the more senior actors within the company. Actors were expected to be able to sword fight, sing and dance, as well as having a good memory for learning lines. How big was a company? Company sizes varied, depending on where the company was working and how wealthy the company was. A wealthy company, when working in a theatre, might have 8– 12 senior members called sharers, 3–4 boys, a number of hired players (hired men) and then stage hands, tiremen (who would help the actors dress back stage) and some musicians. Actors would join a company under the patronage of a monarch (like the Queen’s Men) or a nobleman, such as the Lord Admiral’s Men or the Lord Chamberlain’s Men. Where did a company work? Most companies were based in London, using one of the permanent theatres. Sometimes the theatres were closed, for example when there was a plague in the city, and so companies would then go on tour. Mostly they toured England, but companies did also go abroad, particularly to the Netherlands and Germany. What did an actor earn? Many theatre companies operated a shareholder system. Sharers in a company earned more than the hired men. Shakespeare was a sharer of the Chamberlain’s Men, later the King’s Men, and so shared the costs and also the profits the company made. Actors’ earnings also depended on where the company was playing. The company made more money in London than in the country, so could pay actors higher wages. In 1597 the actor William Kendall was paid 10 shillings a week in London but only 5 shillings in the country.

Is the following statement true or false? Keeping a plant healthy reduces the risk of pest infestations. Use the following passage to answer the question. How to Treat Yellowing Leaves on Snake Plant Once you narrow down the reason your snake plant has yellow leaves, you'll want to address the issue quickly to keep your plant healthy. However, yellow leaves won't turn green again even if the issue is remedied, so it's best to cut them off with sharp, sanitized pruners or scissors at the base of the plant. Check your plant's soil moisture. If the soil feels soggy and you've been watering frequently, overwatering could be to blame. Let the soil dry out completely before watering again. In extreme cases, you may need to repot the plant in fresh soil and inspect the roots for signs of rot. If your snake plant's leaves look sunburned and the plant is getting direct sunlight, move it further away from the light source or use a sheer curtain to filter the light and make it less intense. Address inconsistent temperature by keeping the plant away from drafty areas and putting it in a space with a more consistent temperature. Inspect your snake plant regularly for signs of pests. Remove insects with blasts of water or a cotton swab dipped in rubbing alcohol, then use neem oil or horticultural soap to prevent them from coming back. Keep your plant healthy going forward to lessen the likelihood that pests will attack. If you haven't fertilized or refreshed your snake plant's soil in a few years and other causes don't apply, repot it with fresh soil. If the plant seems potbound, use a pot one size larger or divide the plant and repot it in its original container. If you suspect overfertilizing is the issue, flush your plant's soil several times with water to remove excess nutrients. Going forward, only fertilize your snake plant twice per year in spring and summer.

How much has the City of Los Angeles spent fighting dust pollution from Owens Lake? Once a lake bed is exposed, winds kick up ferocious dust storms. Those windblown sediments contribute to air pollution and can contribute to asthma, lung cancer and cardiopulmonary disease, among other health issues.

The City of Los Angeles has spent more than $2.5 billion mitigating the dust through projects at the lake bed such as shallow flooding, seeding and planting vegetation, spreading gravel or tilling the ground.

He'd put on his favorite loafers and his lovely brown cardigan. It was a cool day, but that didn't faze him at all. The wind danced over his bald head, and tussled his limp and greasy hair.\n\nNigel was in a fantastic mood today. He felt truly alive for the first time in 40 years. As an accountant, there wasn't a huge amount of variation or interest in his work. Numbers came in, and these days robots did all the work. Never mind, Nigel kept walking. \n\nHe recalled better times when his hair had been thicker and his belly tighter. He was the master of the calculator, a colossal computer that sang machine rhythm for him and him alone. \n\nIn a way, Nigel reflected, he had been the architect of his own downfall. He made a machine that made him redundant. It doesn't even make him rich. But that's Luddite nonsense. If you're a plow maker, making a plow-making machine doesn't make you redundant, it makes your job more ... future-y. \n\nThe road bent and he could see the long straight of the beach up ahead. Long straight gravel road. Long straight horizon. He smelled the salty sea air. \n\nHe managed to get to the little place after Marg passed. She had never wanted to live at the beach, and that was fair. It is inconvenient to be so far from the semblance of civilization, but there it was. The sea. \n\nThe sea called to Nigel. When he was young, it had called him away to America. When he was finished getting his fancy degrees, it called him home. Now the sea called to him again, so Nigel kept walking. \n\nThe crunch of gravel gave way to the soft pushing of buffalo grass, then the squish-crunch of sand. The bay embraced him in a grey arc, bounded on both ends by tall, withering cliffs. \n\nNigel walked a little further and felt his loafers dampen with the salt water. Soon he felt his knees and skin prickle with the lapping water. Then his cardigan got wet. Then his grizzled chin and his lank hair became the playthings of the sea. \n\nNigel kept walking.

Make a rope from a vine and swing across, Tarzan style: The player could command the character to make a rope from a vine and swing across.

Make a running jump: The most straightforward option, the character could run as fast as possible and attempt to leap across the chasm. However, they may not be able to clear the gap, falling down the chasm to their peril. They could also simply trip some distance before the chasm. This may be useful if you do not wish to incur a \"game over\" screen for this rash decision by the player.\n3. Lay a log across the chasm: The player could command the character to look for a suitably long log to balance across the chasm. Alternatively, they could attempt to chop down a tree over the chasm. This would not work if the tree was of insignificant length to cover the gap or if the character was not strong enough to lift up and drop a sufficiently long log. \n4. Look for a way around: The player could command the character to simply walk along the chasm until they find a way across. This could fail if there is no way across, or if the path across is visible but not accessible. This could be due to a number of reasons, such as a rapidly moving river or a significant elevation difference. \n5. Acquire a vehicle: The player could command the character to look for a vehicle. This would not be a successful solution if they failed to find a vehicle capable of crossing the chasm or if the vehicle that they found was not in working order. However, a wrecked vehicle could serve as a useful clue or source of materials for the actual solution to this puzzle.\n\nCan I assist you in any other way with your text adventure?

Write a tl:dr review of this book review in the voice of a Gen X mom talking to her Gen Z daughter: Title: The Knockoff Author: Lucy Sykes and Jo Piazza ISBN: 9780385539586 No. of Pages: 352 Genre: Contemporary Fiction Origins: Doubleday Release Date: 19 May 2015 Synopsis: “An outrageously stylish, wickedly funny novel of fashion in the digital age, The Knockoff is the story of Imogen Tate, editor in chief of Glossy magazine, who finds her twentysomething former assistant Eve Morton plotting to knock Imogen off her pedestal, take over her job, and reduce the magazine, famous for its lavish 768-page September issue, into an app. When Imogen returns to work at Glossy after six months away, she can barely recognize her own magazine. Eve, fresh out of Harvard Business School, has fired “the gray hairs,” put the managing editor in a supply closet, stopped using the landlines, and hired a bevy of manicured and questionably attired underlings who text and tweet their way through meetings. Imogen, darling of the fashion world, may have Alexander Wang and Diane von Furstenberg on speed dial, but she can’t tell Facebook from Foursquare and once got her iPhone stuck in Japanese for two days. Under Eve’s reign, Glossy is rapidly becoming a digital sweatshop—hackathons rage all night, girls who sleep get fired, and “fun” means mandatory, company-wide coordinated dances to Beyoncé. Wildly out of her depth, Imogen faces a choice—pack up her Smythson notebooks and quit, or channel her inner geek and take on Eve to save both the magazine and her career. A glittering, uproarious, sharply drawn story filled with thinly veiled fashion personalities, The Knockoff is an insider’s look at the ever-changing world of fashion and a fabulous romp for our Internet-addicted age.” To say that the two clash is an understatement. Imogen struggles to learn the new rules of doing business to capitalize on the available technology, while Eve just wants Imogen out of the way. The dynamic between the two is fraught with tension and frustration and achingly realistic. Talk to anyone in management above a certain age, and they will all have stories similar to Imogen’s. Then again, talk to anyone Eve’s age and her frustrations are their frustrations. The Knockoff captures the individual sides perfectly. There is a lot to love in The Knockoff. Think of it as The Devil Wears Prada for the next generation. However, to expect the same story as Prada would be to seriously underestimate the twists and turns The Knockoff has in store for readers. Anyone who has ever been frustrated at work due to a genuine clash in personality and expectations should read The Knockoff. In fact, it would make a fantastic book club option, as it is quick, light, and humorous, and yet presents multiple situations and characters that are open to interpretation.

How is gold utilized in different sectors?
[ { "content": "How is gold utilized in different sectors?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "1. Jewelry: Gold's exceptional lustre and resistance to tarnish due to its inert nature have rendered it a preferred choice for crafting jewelry for millennia. Over half of the gold consumed today is converted into jewelry. Gold is both ductile and malleable, which enables it to be shaped into intricate designs that retain their form and beauty over substantial periods. Its chemical inertness ensures it remains unaffected by most chemicals, thereby preserving its aesthetic appeal even after prolonged use.\n2. Investment: Gold serves as a tangible asset that conserves its value over time, making it a popular choice as a financial hedge against inflation and currency instability. This is in part due to its limited availability – the cumulative quantity of gold mined throughout human history would fill merely about three Olympic-sized swimming pools. Gold's easy storability and globally recognized value also make it a sought-after asset during times of economic instability.\n3. Electronics: With its superior electrical conductivity and high resistance to corrosion and tarnish, gold plays an invaluable role in electronics, accounting for approximately 10% of global gold use. Gold is integral to a variety of electronic devices, encompassing smartphones, GPS units, televisions, and computers. In these applications, gold is typically employed in connectors, switch and relay contacts, soldered joints, and bonding wires.", "role": "assistant" } ]

These ideas take into account your openness to most things, your love of outdoor activities, and the fact that you aren't religious. Each idea includes a description so that you can better understand whether or not you'd be open to it: \n\n1. Sports Leagues. Given your interest in being active outdoors, consider joining a recreational sports league. Search online or ask around at your workplace or gym to see what leagues are available to join. Pick a sport you think you might enjoy and choose a league that is appropriate for your anticipated skill level. Joining a sports league is a great way to get outside, engage in friendly competition, and most importantly, meet new people. \n2. Volunteering. Pretty much every city should have volunteer organizations where you can donate your time. Volunteering is not only a great way to give back and help those in need, but it's also a perfect way to connect with other volunteers and bond over your shared commitment to helping others. Make sure to look for a volunteer opportunity that suits your schedule, isn't too far from where you live, and is something that you will ultimately find fulfilling. Also, consider an opportunity that allows you to spend the majority of your time outside given your love of outdoor activities. \n3. Book Club. If you are someone who enjoys reading and discussing what you're reading with others, consider joining a book club. Book clubs are often organized monthly and involve meeting as a group to discuss a particular book that's been designated for that month. Not only will you get to read and talk about an interesting selection of new books, but joining a book club is a perfect way to expand your social circle and get to know a large group of people who share your interest. \n4. Running Groups. As someone who enjoys outdoor activities, you may want to consider joining an organized running group. A common practice in such groups is to go on fun runs that take place in different places around the city. It may not seem like you can easily get to know people by running with them, but rest assured that there is usually socialization at a restaurant, cafe, or brewery before or after the run, which makes it a great opportunity to get to know new people.\n5. Trivia Nights. It's extremely common for bars to host trivia nights on specific nights of the week in order to provide a fun group activity for their customers. Make sure to look for one that's geared toward matching up strangers instead of expecting people to come in their own groups. \n\nI hope that you are able to utilize these suggestions to make some new friends in your city.

Write an executive summary of the attached biography of Lillian Gish that focuses on her professional achievements rather than her private life. Lillian Diana Gish was born on October 14, 1893, in Springfield, Ohio. Her father, James Lee Gish, was an alcoholic who caroused, was rarely at home, and left the family to, more or less, fend for themselves. To help make ends meet, Lillian, her sister Dorothy Gish, and their mother, Mary Gish, a.k.a. Mary Robinson McConnell, tried their hand at acting in local productions. Lillian was six years old when she first appeared in front of an audience. For the next 13 years, she and Dorothy appeared before stage audiences with great success. Had she not made her way into films, Lillian quite possibly could have been one of the great stage actresses of all time; however, she found her way onto the big screen when, in 1912, she met famed director D.W. Griffith. Impressed with what he saw, he immediately cast her in her first film, An Unseen Enemy (1912), followed by The One She Loved (1912) and My Baby (1912). She would make 12 films for Griffith in 1912. With 25 films in the next two years, Lillian's exposure to the public was so great that she fast became one of the top stars in the industry, right alongside Mary Pickford, "America's Sweetheart". In 1915, Lillian starred as Elsie Stoneman in Griffith's most ambitious project to date, The Birth of a Nation (1915). She was not making the large number of films that she had been in the beginning because she was successful and popular enough to be able to pick and choose the right films to appear in. The following year, she appeared in another Griffith classic, Intolerance (1916). By the early 1920s, her career was on its way down. As with anything else, be it sports or politics, new faces appeared on the scene to replace the "old", and Lillian was no different. In fact, she did not appear at all on the screen in 1922, 1925 or 1929. However, 1926 was her busiest year of the decade with roles in La Bohème (1926) and The Scarlet Letter (1926). As the decade wound to a close, "talkies" were replacing silent films. However, Lillian was not idle during her time away from the screen. She appeared in stage productions, to the acclaim of the public and critics alike. In 1933, she filmed His Double Life (1933), but did not make another film for nine years. When she returned in 1943, she appeared in two big-budget pictures, Commandos Strike at Dawn (1942) and Top Man (1943). Although these roles did not bring her the attention she had had in her early career, Lillian still proved she could hold her own with the best of them. She earned an Oscar nomination as Best Supporting Actress for her role of Laura Belle McCanles in Duel in the Sun (1946), but lost to Anne Baxter in The Razor's Edge (1946). One of the most critically acclaimed roles of her career came in the thriller The Night of the Hunter (1955), also notable as the only film directed by actor Charles Laughton. In 1969, she published her autobiography, "The Movies, Mr. Griffith, and Me". In 1987, she made what was to be her last motion picture, The Whales of August (1987), a box-office success that exposed her to a new generation of fans. Her 75-year career is almost unbeatable in any field, let alone the film industry. On February 27, 1993, at age 99, Lillian Gish died peacefully in her sleep at her Manhattan apartment in New York City. She never married.

Day One. \nAll Day: Hike to Iceberg Lake. This is an out-and-back 9.7-mile hike in the Many Glacier area of the park. The elevation gain is 1,275 feet, and the trail is rated as moderate. You'll begin with a steep uphill section, but after that, the trail levels out. This hike is an all-day event, but it is worth the effort. Pack a lunch, and enjoy some quiet time as you take in the glacier in all of its glory. The trail can be busy during the summer, but due to its length, it's not as popular as some other trails. Once you arrive at the lake, keep following the trail around to the left and you'll find some nice private spots where you can escape the crowds. Don't forget your swimsuit or a change of clothes - it's hard to resist jumping in the bone-chilling water to cool off. \n\n2. Day Two.\nMorning: Hike to Virginia Falls. At 3.6 miles roundtrip and only about 525 feet of elevation gain, this is a hike that gives you a lot of bang for your buck. You'll see St. Mary falls along the way, which is a beautiful waterfall with strikingly blue water, and you'll also see smaller unnamed falls around almost every turn as you get closer to Virginia Falls. \n\nAfternoon: Hike the Trail of the Cedars and keep going to Avalanche Lake. This laid-back hike starts with the Trail of the Cedars, a short 1-mile boardwalk trail that offers some lovely views. You'll eventually reach a sign that points to another trail that will take you to Avalanche Lake. The hike to this lake is 4.5 miles out-and-back with about 760 feet of elevation gain. It's well worth the effort because at the end you're rewarded with a gorgeous view of the lake and a stunning mountain backdrop. The way the light hits the mountains in the late afternoon and early evening is beautiful, and you may avoid the crowds a bit by starting later in the day. Look closely - you may even see some waterfalls in those mountains!\n\n3. Day Three.\nAll Day: Hike to Grinnell Glacier. While this hike can be made easier by taking a boat to shave off 3.4 miles of hiking, the first part of the trail is flat and offers views that are worth the extra mileage. The hike is 10.6 miles long in total, with an elevation gain of about 1,600 feet. It's the most strenuous hike on this itinerary. You'll start off walking around Swiftcurrent Lake and Lake Josephine. Then the climbing starts, and the views just keep getting better. Start the trail early so you can take your time and enjoy a rest once you make it to Grinnell Glacier. The hike is popular, but there's a lot to explore once you reach the glacier.

I’m trying to write a scene, but I have a plot ready. Please help me write a scene where David has been waiting for seven hours since he placed a note in Betty's desk, and when he suddenly hears a noise coming from the desk, he discovers that the note he placed there is gone. He is shocked and unable to understand how this could be possible. David decides to stay in the room until he gets answers. Two hours later, he hears a swishing noise and sees pieces of material swirling in the air, eventually forming into Betty. She is unconscious, and David rushes to her side. Gradually, the color returns to her face, and she regains consciousness. Betty asks David if he loves her, and he confirms that he does, taking a moment to tuck a stray curl behind her ear. The scene should be under 400 words and there should be dialogues between these characters.

It’s been 7 hours since he placed the note on the desk. As he leans back in the chair thinking about the reality of this, he unexpectedly hears a noise coming from the desk.

Staggering backward he leans over taking a deep breath. Standing, he runs his fingers through his hair in utter bewilderment.

I’ll wait.” \n\nAfter about 15 minutes, she gets the strength to sit up. Holding her forehead, she abates the nausea. Taking deep breaths, she feels herself returning to normal. David helps her up.

Answer the following about the Makita DTD152Z 18v LXT Impact Driver with the text I am sharing: How many rotation settings does it have? What material is on the handle? Is it lightweight or heavy? The Makita DTD152Z 18v LXT Impact Driver Body Only is Makita’s most recognised impact driver. Built onto Makita’s Li-Ion battery platform, the DTD152 is a lightweight and compact driver designed with the user in mind. It offers forward/reverse rotation, Twin LED work makita circular saw light for improved accuracy and a one-touch bit installation method. This is packed into an impact driver as small as 137mm in length. As it’s so light and compact, it’ll fit in as an extra for any tool bag and if not, attach it to your hip with the belt clip! The drill also has an LED light, two speed settings, and a comfortable rubber overgrip on the handle, among other features. This cordless drill has a 1/2-inch chuck bit—unusual for drills of this voltage—that securely held all the bits and drivers throughout our testing. While this model works well for light projects, we found that it’s not quite as effective on bigger holes and might stall sometimes, making it best suited for the occasional quick job. Even though it doesn’t include a storage bag, we appreciate that it comes with a battery and a charger at its already low price, so you won’t need to buy those separately. All in all, this pick is ideal for homeowners and renters alike who need an affordable cordless drill for occasional use. In the past decade, cordless drills have become more powerful, lighter, and energy-efficient, making corded drills practically obsolete. If so, we made sure that everything fit properly and considered any additional features (like space for extra accessories and included drill or driver bits). If you have small hands or know you’ll be using your drill for hours on end, consider a more lightweight option like this one from Bosch. It’s an easy-to-carry drill that you won’t get tired of holding, and it has two speed settings and a high torque so you can tackle numerous projects with ease. Despite its small size, this cordless drill still delivered an impressive performance in our tests. The company was founded in 1915, in Japan, under the name “Makita Denski Seisakusho”. In the beginning, the business activities mainly concerned selling and repairing electric power tools; however, in 1958, they began manufacturing power tools. Twenty years later, in 1978, Makita introduced its first cordless power tool, the 7.2V Cordless Drill. An impact driver is mostly a heavy-duty screwdriver for repetitive or more extensive screwdriver projects. For this metric, we used 5-inch long, ½-inch lag screws and standard wood screws, scoring each tool on the ease and speed at which it drove the different screws in. The Makita XFD14Z did exceptionally well, earning one of the makita cordless drill best scores of the entire group. We translate those readings into scores for power, speed, and run time. We also incorporate ratings for predicted reliability and owner satisfaction based on data from CR’s member surveys. The expansive breadth-of-line of the Makita 18V LXT® Series means an 18V battery from any LXT® tool will power the Sub-Compact Driver-Drill. The XFD11ZB has an efficient brushless motor with 2 speed settings and dual L.E.D. lights to illuminate the work area. (with battery, sold separately) it’s a drilling and driving solution with superior comfort makita angle grinder and handling. The Makita 18V LXT® Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless ½” Driver-Drill Kit (XFD12T) is an ideal drilling and driving solution for the user who wants a drill with superior power-to-weight ratio.

Hello. Please summarize the following text into one paragraph in no more than six sentences. In Anchorage, journalist Ned Scott (Douglas Spencer), looking for a story, visits the officer's club of the Alaskan Air Command, where he meets Captain Pat Hendry (Kenneth Tobey), his co-pilot Lieutenant Eddie Dykes, (a friend of Scott's), and flight navigator Ken "Mac" MacPherson. General Fogarty orders Hendry to fly to Polar Expedition Six at the North Pole, per a request from its lead scientist, Nobel laureate Dr. Arthur Carrington (Robert Cornthwaite); Carrington has radioed that an unusual aircraft has crashed nearby. With Scott, Corporal Barnes, crew chief Bob, and a pack of sled dogs, Hendry pilots a Douglas C-47 transport aircraft to the remote outpost. Upon arrival, Scott and the airmen meet radio operator Tex, Dr. Chapman, his wife Mrs. Chapman, a man named Lee, who is one of two cooks, and the Inuit dog handlers. Also present are scientists Vorhees, Stern, Redding, Stone, Laurence, Wilson, Ambrose, Auerbach, Olson, and Carrington. Hendry later rekindles his romance with Nikki Nicholson (Margaret Sheridan), Carrington's secretary. Several scientists fly with the airmen to the crash site, finding a large object buried beneath the ice. As they spread out to determine the object's shape, they realize that they are standing in a circle; they have discovered a flying saucer. The team attempts to melt the ice covering the saucer with thermite, but a violent reaction with the craft's metal alloy completely destroys it. Their Geiger counter, however, detects a frozen body buried nearby; it is excavated in a large block of ice and loaded aboard the C-47 transport. They fly out as an Arctic storm closes in on their site.

This is something cats do that dogs are not physically capable of doing. It has also been proven that purring can lower your stress levels and your blood pressure. \n2. Quieter. A cat isn't going to howl at the moon, bark at anyone who knocks at the door, or anything else. While a cat might meow on occasion, they are much quieter than dogs. \n3. Less Care. Even though cats do have litterboxes, this is far less trouble than having to walk a dog every day and give it plenty of exercise. You also don't have to take a cat outside to use the bathroom when it is raining outside. \n4. Less Space. Cats do not need huge amounts of space. Even if you want to set up a play area for them, this can be vertical instead of sprawled out over the floor. Also, cat toys are usually smaller than dog toys, and a cat will take up less space on your bed than most dogs will. \n5. Less Food. Cats don't eat as much food as dogs do, so their food lasts longer and will probably be cheaper than a dog's food. \n6. Less Destruction. A bored cat is far less likely to damage something it shouldn't. This is compared to dogs, who might chew on the furniture or any number of other things. \n7. Cleaner. Cats rarely need baths due to the fact that they do a great job of keeping themselves clean. They certainly aren't going to be playing in the mud or tracking dirt into the house, even if you let them outside. \nI hope this can help put an end to your argument. ", "role": "assistant" } ]

Who did Prince William marry? The queen’s popularity, and that of the entire royal family, rebounded during the first decade of the 21st century.

In 2005, the queen enjoyed public support when she gave her assent to Prince Charles’ once-unthinkable marriage to his longtime love Camilla Parker Bowles. In her seventh decade on the throne, Queen Elizabeth presided over the pomp and circumstance of another royal wedding at Westminster Abbey, that of Prince William to Catherine Middleton in April 2011. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, who are in line to become Britain’s next king and queen, continued the line of succession with their children, Prince George (born 2013), Princess Charlotte (born 2015) and Prince Louis (born 2018).

We are all here to see the evil that is the Cookie Cake Confederation rid of this green earth. After today, there will be no more fighting . . . no more struggle . . . no more sacrifice. But today will be all of those things. \n\nRide now! Strike cavities into their souls. Shed them of their life's sugar. Let their frosting flow out over this battlefield in new rivers of the crumbled dead. For make no mistake, my sweet candy, it is among their ranks that the dead now walk.\n\nWe are candy. We are the sweetest thing to ever strike a tooth. But that is not all. Let us show those fools just how bitter this candy can be!", "role": "assistant" } ]

Mix one teaspoon of baking soda with two teaspoons of water to create a paste, and brush your teeth several times a week to see the effects. \n2. Oil Pulling: To oil pull, place about one tablespoon of coconut oil in your mouth. Then, swish the oil around for between 15-20 minutes. While some people don’t love the taste, it can certainly whiten your teeth over time. \n3. Hydrogen Peroxide: Many toothpastes have hydrogen peroxide as a whitening agent, but you can use it straight from the bottle for more intense effects. Make sure you’re using 1.5% or 3% peroxide, and if you have 3%, it’s best to dilute it with a bit of water. \n4. Citrus Peels: You can use lime, lemon, orange, or banana peels to whiten your teeth by simply rubbing the inside of the rinds directly onto the teeth. ", "role": "assistant" } ]
