"role": "assistant",
"content": "Sure, there’s a number of dishes you can make in that style. Here are two recipes I found:\n\n1. Bircher Muesli\n\nA bowl of muesli is a dish served for breakfast or as a snack and made of the seeds of oats. It is most common in Germany, Switzerland, Austria, and neighboring countries in Europe, but has become popular elsewhere in the world as well. You can prepare your own muesli with a grain mill or with a blender, in either case following some easy steps. First, you will need oats, almonds, and other ingredients. You will need two cups of oats, three-fourths cup of oats or almonds, and five-eighths cup of fruit. The oats will need to be boiled, and the other ingredients can be dry roasted or sautéed. While the oats are cooking, you will want to make the fruit. I like to mix together a banana, raisins, and pine nuts. Then you will need to make the sauce. I prefer to use peanut butter with a little honey. After that, add in the other ingredients, and make the whole thing into a muesli with milk.\n\n2. Swiss Bircher Muesli\n\nIngredients:\n\n1 cup apple juice\n1 cup skim milk\n1⁄2 cup whole rolled oats\n1 banana, sliced\n1/3 cup old fashioned oats\n1⁄2 cup seedless raisins\n1/3 cup sliced, toasted almonds\n2 tbsp. natural peanut butter\n\nMethod:\n\nCombine the apple juice, milk and oats in a bowl. Cover and refrigerate overnight. Remove from the refrigerator, add banana, raisins and almonds. Top with peanut butter."

"content": "How does inflation affect stocks? Would investing in stocks during a time of high inflation be a good or bad idea?"
},
{
"role": "assistant",
"content": "Interesting question. There are actually several different effects that inflation can have on the stock market. Firstly, inflation can increase interest rates and affect the overall level of economic activity, which can then have effects on the performance of individual companies and the overall stock market. However, inflation can also cause investors to demand a higher level of overall returns in order to compensate for inflation, which can have the effect of driving up the value of stocks since they typically offer a higher expected rate of return than other investment options. In addition, inflation can also increase the overall level of economic uncertainty, which can have negative effects on stock market returns. In general, I’d say the effect of inflation depends on the period and type of inflation that is occurring, so it can be difficult to make general predictions on whether high inflation would be beneficial or detrimental to the stock market. Suffice it to say that inflation can cause substantial fluctuations in the value of stocks, and so investors should carefully consider the implications of inflation when making financial planning and investment decisions."
},
{
"role": "user",
"content": "What do you mean by demanding a higher level of return? Investors can't demand the stock market do something."
},
{
"role": "assistant",
"content": "Apologies for the confusing phrasing in my previous response. By “demand a higher level of return” I intended to indicate that investors might wish to seek a higher overall rate of return when evaluating their investment options. This could manifest in several ways, including investments in stocks offering higher expected returns than other available options, or investors demanding higher overall returns in order to compensate for the effects of inflation. In summary, investors may seek to mitigate the effects of inflation by increasing the overall rate of return that they expect from their investments."

"content": "I can tell you about what I know about, and you can decide which you’d like to try and practice first. One of the exercises I know is called the “single-leg balance”, and it’s a good one to start with. This exercise looks like you’re standing on one foot, but there’s a small twist: The bottom of your other foot is placed on a soft surface, like a towel or mat, and you are wobbling back and forth. \nThere’s also an exercise called “the chair”, and you may have seen it in movies or TV. You put both your hands on the back of a chair, or whatever you have, and try to balance. This is really hard, because the most basic thing we need for balance is a stable surface. \nAnother exercise that is easy to do is called “the tree”. This is a little more advanced, and it can get really tough. You sit down on the ground, and you put one foot flat on the ground, and the other foot you put about one foot off the ground, with the knee bent. Then you have to stay upright on the bent knee, as you balance on the one foot, but the foot on the ground can move. You try to move that foot to wobble, and stay balanced, and that is the “tree”. \nAnother type of balance exercise I have heard of is called “the teeter board”. This is one you can try at home, and it works a lot like “the tree”, but it’s easier. It has two long flat boards, and you place one foot on one, and one foot on the other, and you stand there, and practice wobbling. You have to keep your back straight."

In many species, the mating act is an activity that leads to the release of eggs or sperm. In general, orgasm, often following foreplay, is a way of increasing the likelihood of pregnancy or, in some species, to increase the chance that sperm will survive. \n(2) Orgasm has an addictive quality that allows some individuals, in some species, to become more likely to copulate than others. This means that individuals who copulate more often are more likely to pass on their genes."

They may also tell the suspect that there is a witness who can place them at the scene of the crime or that they have physical evidence against the suspect. The interrogator may also try to convince the suspect that they have an obligation to tell the truth and that if they don’t confess they will go to jail for a long time."

But I’ll try to answer.\n\nIf you mean the same pair of underwear, and they have no lint or hairs in them, you can probably wear them for a couple of days before they start to smell and not feel that comfortable. But it would be best to air them out somewhere and dry them out first.\n\nIf you mean underwear you’ve never used before, you can probably wear them a whole day without issue. But once again, be sure to dry them out before wearing them again, to avoid uncomfortable stinkiness.\n\nThe only reason you’d really ever want to ask this question is that it feels really gross to wear wet, sweaty underwear for a long time. So by switching underwear in a reasonably timely manner, you can avoid this feeling. I think this is just common sense, but I also think there’s not much reason to do it. In the end, I’m not sure it matters all that much."

I am sorry if the question made you uncomfortable."
},
{
"role": "assistant",
"content": "Hm. Well this is your hike, and it’s probably good to have a few changes of underwear on hand so that you can avoid the feeling of soggy underwear that you’re talking about. And to be honest, it’s hard for me to answer, because I don’t know your exact situation.\n\nBut I might suggest trying to figure out how often your hiking underwear becomes soiled, and then pack enough fresh underwear so that you don’t have to stop for laundry much. I think if it becomes really necessary, you can probably wear your hiking underwear multiple times before it becomes too unsafe. But I’m not a scientist, and I also don’t hike in nature a lot."

Your child may take a bit longer than the average toddler, or may go through a time where it’s a bit harder for them to walk.

To calculate net annual profit, you need to calculate both the revenue and the expenses for the year, and then subtract the expenses from the revenue to get the net profit. So you’ll want to know the revenue for the year, and you’ll want to know the expenses for the year. To calculate revenue, you need to know the number of units sold in the year, as well as the revenue per unit. And to calculate expenses, you’ll want to know the cost of goods sold, as well as any other expenses the business has during the year. Then you’ll want to subtract the revenue from the expenses to get the net profit. So let’s say the business sold 100,000 units in 2017, and each unit sold for $10. You would want to know what the cost of goods was for the year, and you would want to know what the other expenses were for the year. To calculate the cost of goods sold for the year, you’ll want to know the total cost of goods purchased by the business in 2017.

If you want to feel better while supporting friends and loved ones, there are some techniques you can use. First, whenever someone shares something you find difficult or awkward to talk about, try acknowledging in words how it sounds, and then talk about how you feel about it. For example, something like “Wow, that sounds really difficult for you, I’m sorry to hear that.” An important part of this is to just acknowledge it, without offering platitudes or pretending that you’ve had similar experiences. You can then also talk about other topics, either before or afterward, to remind others that your relationships aren't just about supporting them in immediate crises. And as a reminder, as a listener you can also always let others know that you aren’t seeking to change how they feel, or to make them feel bad for what they’re going through. It’s also important to remember that there’s no “right” way to listen to difficult stories or give emotional support, so if you find that you make this uncomfortable on a regular basis, you may also"

"role": "user",
"content": "All right, so acknowledgement. What else?"

For example, there’s no problem with saying something like “Hey, I know things are really hard for you right now, and it makes me feel really sad to hear about it. I hope you feel better soon.” Being honest with others about how you’re reacting to what they’re saying is a great way to be supportive, since people often find it very reassuring when someone listens and cares about what they’re experiencing. If you struggle with this, one key is to have an open mind and be open to all valid feelings. For example, if you realize you’re feeling angry or depressed about someone else’s story, that’s legitimate and important. It just doesn’t need to take precedence in the conversation, since you can acknowledge and communicate your feelings, while also showing care and concern for others."

Keep in mind that even though it’s not your job to “fix” all of the other person’s problems or help them work through difficult feelings, your reaction does matter to them. So even if you just say something simple or brief, this shows that someone understands what they’re going through, and provides crucial support. It’s important not to dismiss someone’s feelings in these moments, however, so don’t respond with glib statements that day-day, you “can handle” or “get over” the situation, or that it isn’t so bad. Instead, it’s often most helpful to acknowledge that what other people is experiencing is real and valid, even if it’s not what you’d want for yourself. Doing so shows that you’re really listening, and listening to and acknowledging someone else is the most important thing you can do."

Start with your breath, and then let the focus of your attention travel through the body, noticing the movement of your breath, exploring the presence of your whole body and feeling your energies within.\n- Track your mind, gently noticing your wandering thoughts and returning to your focused attention on the breath. When thoughts arise, let them be present, without grasping at them or holding them in your mind, and just let them pass away. Stay centered and present, refocusing on your attention on the breath and the sensations of the body.\n- When you are distracted, notice this fact, and notice any emotions or sensations arising in this experience.

They held a party in a basement and attempted to murder Rasputin with a variety of weapons, including shooting, stabbing, and poison.

},
{
"role": "assistant",
"content": "Cashmere is generally considered to be warmer than cotton clothing, especially in cooler climates. Luxurious cashmere is generally made from the soft undercoat of high-breed goats, which provide the warmest fabric due to their extremely dense, soft, and velvet-like fibers. The fibers occur in continuous strands, so the fabric retains warmth extremely well, keeping the body at a comfortable temperature and protecting against cold wind. Natural and chemical processing methods may be applied to achieve different levels of softness and insulate the fibers more effectively. Cotton is generally considered less warm, though there are some “thermoregulating” varieties that offer some warmth, especially weather wicking varieties that attract sweat and wick it away from the body, offering more breathable fabric and lower thermal insulation, helping to regulate your core temperature. Cotton is a naturally breathable fiber, naturally resistant to tear and abrasion, and offer a lightweight and comfortable fabric for clothing and other uses."

{
"role": "assistant",
"content": "That’s a good question. The short answer is that in the US, if the government decides to cancel student debt, the president cannot just decide to do this on his own. The president can propose this for the US Congress to try to pass, but this would require congressional approval. While Congress has passed laws to expand student loan debt forgiveness in the past, it has never passed a law to fully cancel student loan debt in the US. Let me know if you have any other questions."

{

"content": "I see. But many politicians have been saying that all the president needs to do is a sign an executive order and the debt would be cancelled."
},
{
"role": "assistant",
"content": "If any president made such an order, the Department of Education (the department that runs student loans) could cancel certain student loans that meet certain conditions, but only under laws passed by Congress. For example, there’s an existing program called Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) that forgives some student loans for public servants. It would be possible for the president to sign a sign a special order to allow PSLF to apply to private student loan debt, but I think the president would need to ask Congress to change the laws to allow this."

"role": "user",
"content": "What would be the consequences of lots of student loans being cancelled?"
},
{
"role": "assistant",
"content": "That’s a good question. You may have heard from some politicians that student loans should be eliminated or cancelled to help the US economy. This is an interesting debate. Due to changes in the student loan industry over the past 25 years, student debt tends to skew much more toward lower-income people than before. This makes it harder for some people in lower-income brackets to enter college, which has some negative consequences. However, cancelling student loan debt could also discourage more people in this range from earning college degrees, and it could increase tuition costs for college students. I’m not sure where on a spectrum between these two outcomes we would wind up with. I do feel that it’s important to remember that students wouldn’t necessarily be borrowing money themselves to pay for college if not for government regulations, since federal student loan programs like PSLF and direct loan programs make up an overwhelming majority of private student loans. This means that certain federal programs are to blame for the large amount of student debt, so the US government is very much involved in the problem of student loan debt. For more information on this issue, you could do a search of congress.gov to learn more about how to change or cancel"

Some say it’s to symbolize their humility, as they are literally bowing down to Allah. Some say it’s because the point is to focus on Allah, not the earth or the stone beneath you.

},

"role": "assistant",
"content": "You should know that magnetic forces exist between many materials, and that a magnetic field exists around any magnet. All magnets have two poles - a north and south pole - so they are either \"magnetized\" or \"not magnetized\". When a magnetized object is brought near another magnet or a charged particle, magnetic force will often be produced. The areas where magnetic fields are strongest are called magnetic poles. The direction of the magnetic field at any point is determined using a right-hand rule. This rule determines which way a small compass will point if the magnet is placed in a certain direction in space relative to the compass. It's important to know that magnetic forces usually don't apply directly to matter; rather, magnetic forces produce electric current. This current is called electric current and it moves through matter. Electric current is similar to electric charge, but electric charge is carried by free electrons, while electric current is carried by electrons flowing in a specific direction in a wire, known as a \"conduction\"."

},

"role": "assistant",
"content": "Each type of material has a specific polarity: its north and south pole. This is called its \"magnetic polarity\". Most of the time, the polarity of a magnet will stay constant unless something acts on the polarity, like an outside force or object coming into contact with that magnet. Magnetic forces are the natural consequence of a material's polarity, and no other force has the strength or power to change it. That is why electromagnets are so popular - they can define the poles of a material in order to produce an enormous magnetic field. Since permanent magnets always retain their polarity, creating a stronger magnetic force between two permanent magnets is a difficult task. If you reverse the polarity of one of the magnets, the force and pull will also reverse. This is because the poles attract and push in opposite directions."

In general, the best approach is to directly confront the thing you are afraid of, and to slowly and gradually work through those fears in a safe and supportive environment. There are also a variety of effective therapeutic techniques which have demonstrated good outcomes for treating specific phobias and anxieties. However, it is important to note that some fear or anxiety is perfectly normal and understandable, and should not necessarily be actively combated or overcome. It is generally beneficial to acknowledge and accept these fears as they are, while also seeking to build confidence and courage in other areas of life."

{

"content": "Again, this is a very broad question and covers a wide range of individual experience and situations, so there is not a single best response. In general, if you are experiencing excessive fear or anxiety which is interfering with your quality of life, it is best to seek help from a mental health professional who can assist you in addressing these issues and developing more effective coping strategies. In the meantime, maintaining a regular schedule of healthy activities and habits, along with daily mindfulness practices, can also be very helpful in building a sense of calm and control in your life. And of course, talking with trusted friends and family members about your experience, and seeking their understanding and support, can greatly assist in alleviating distress and increasing self-confidence."

"content": "Fear is an important and necessary part of human psychology and motivation, and serves an essential role in our lives and behavior. It is generally unhelpful and counterproductive to attempt to “undo” this fundamental aspect of our emotional experience. Instead, a more effective approach involves developing a more balanced and nuanced understanding of fear and its appropriate role in human life, while also cultivating levels of courage, self-assurance, and calm confidence in other areas. A regular mindfulness practice can be particularly helpful in this regard, as it supports a more spacious and open-minded approach to our internal experience, and fosters greater equanimity in the face of strong emotional responses and distractions."

First and foremost, this involves developing an awareness of our habitual patterns of thought and behavior, and taking active steps to confront and address the more unhealthy or unhelpful aspects of our experience. An essential aspect of this is cultivating greater levels of self-compassion and acceptance, which facilitates a more balanced and reasonable approach to our thoughts, emotions, and motivations. A mindfulness practice can be very helpful here, as it supports a nurturing and nonjudgmental contemplation of our internal experience which allows for healthy self-reflection and growth."

Selecting specific affirmations that resonate with your experience and identity, and consistently repeating these statements to yourself in a calm and poised manner, can support a more positive and optimistic outlook toward your concerns and fears.

Broadband internet access is generally available, but can be prohibitively expensive for some users, especially if they don’t have a smartphone or tablet and have to get access through a landline. Most residences and businesses have access through wired and/or wireless internet connections. However, there are fewer internet cafes on the island than in other places.

It’s used to treat coronary artery disease, which is a condition that occurs when plaque builds up inside your coronary arteries. When this happens, there’s a decreased blood flow to your heart muscle, which can cause chest pain or even a heart attack.\n\nAs part of this surgery, doctors take a section of blood vessel from a different part of your body, usually your leg, and use it to create a new pathway around the clogged arteries. This new blood vessel connection to the heart will allow more blood to flow, and decrease the pain you experience."

After that, the incisions are closed, and you are given some pain medication before going to the recovery room.\n\nThe recovery process is the most important part of this surgery. If the new blood vessel doesn’t form correctly, the blood flow won’t be normal and your heart may be weakened, and you may even need to have another surgery. To help prevent this, you will go on an anti-clotting medication and wear a special device called an “IABP” for a few days after the surgery. This device, which"

Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly to dissolve the sugar. Once it has reached a rolling boil, remove the pan from the heat and let it cool for 5 minutes. Then stir the mixture again and return it to a boil. Continue to boil, stirring frequently, for another 10 to 15 minutes, or until the jam has thickened. Remove the pan from the heat and let the jam cool completely. Then store it in the refrigerator. To store the jam at room temperature, bring it to a rolling boil for 5 minutes, then let it cool and store it as directed."

Each of these singing artists possesses unique talents and gifts, each one is inspiring in its own way. Here are some ways that Whitney Houston is particularly inspiring: first, her heartfelt vocals capture complicated emotions like love, hurt, and joy; second, she has a cheerful and optimistic personality; and third, she never backs down from speaking out for injustices she believes in. She stands up for minority groups, even if it means sacrificing her career in the process. At the same time, the singer is very passionate and resilient, always pushing herself to be her best. This combination of a positive personality with the courage and determination to fight for what’s right is a remarkable trait. Another artist who’s also particularly inspirational is Beyoncé. She’s a talented, creative, and passionate performer. She’s also extremely innovative, constantly pushing the envelope in the world of music. Beyoncé incorporates elements of R&B and pop music into her singing, combining that with a wide range of themes from love, family, and community to"

But research shows that children don’t always learn what to be afraid of until later in life. So they can continue to be fearless, as long as the things they’re not afraid of aren’t dangerous. By four years old, they’re generally able to pick up on this."

But the interesting thing is, while we may start out as fearless little bunnies, we actually end up adults who are more fearless than ever. You can think of it like running a race. On your first day of training you can only run 100 meters. But every day you train, your muscles get stronger and you can run longer, and when the big day of the race comes you can run 1 km."

"role": "assistant",
"content": "To qualify as an “alcoholic” in most contexts, you would need to meet a certain number of criteria, such as:\n\n- a harmful use of alcohol\n- “physical dependence” on alcohol\n- an inability to stop or control your use of alcohol, despite experiencing problems\n- continued use despite social consequences, medical consequences, and a desire to stop\n\nBut it’s complicated, right? A lot of factors go into whether an individual should be considered alcoholic or not, and it’s really a case-by-case situation. For example, if you only started drinking a few months ago, it’s not very likely that you’re an alcoholic. On the other hand, if you’ve been drinking heavily since high school, and you’ve had a bad history with alcohol and blackouts, I would say there’s at least some likelihood you’re an alcoholic. And in any case, the only way to be sure is to get help from an expert or from a therapist."

The “functional alcoholic” thing doesn’t refer to some people who drink moderately and don’t have problems, so much as it refers to people who might be drinking but aren’t displaying visible symptoms. It can be hard to say for sure if someone’s a “functional alcoholic” or not, since alcoholism is not just about drinking to excess. Alcoholism isn’t just about having a bad social life, or having blackouts, or having other mental and physical health problems, but also about the individual’s relationship to alcohol, about their attitudes and feelings."
