"role": "assistant",
"content": "It’s hard to say, there’s a lot of variation between individuals. It certainly is a huge adjustment to become an adopted child in a new family. I think it’s a fairly universal experience that one tends to develop a pretty strong attachment to one’s parents, so it seems that one would also develop a strong emotional attachment to the family one is adopted into. This also means that it’s important to adopt children into families with parents who are able and willing to provide them with an adequate level of care and support."

{

"content": "I think that’s a really difficult issue. There are a couple different factors here. On the one hand, it seems difficult to hide the fact that one is adopted forever, so keeping the child in the dark for their entire life is problematic and unfair. This also goes along with the idea that adopted children should be given information that will let them make informed decisions about important issues. I think it also depends a lot on the personality of the individual child and how they respond to the information."

},
{
"role": "assistant",
"content": "Basting is a way of cooking where the food to be cooked is slathered in a sauce that can then be reduced and caramelized, which can make it tastier. A food that is basted and then cooked on the grill is frequently basted in a butter- or oil-based sauce, which can make it taste richer."

{
"role": "assistant",
"content": "Marinating is a way of cooking where the food to be cooked is left in a flavorful liquid before being cooked. Marinades are often a combination of acid and oil, and can be designed to add flavors, as well as act as tenderizers. If you marinade your chicken in an oil and acid-based solution, like lemon juice and olive oil, it may make the meat more tender. Marinating before cooking is not generally advised, as it can make meat more likely to go bad."

},
{

The first is when the meat is cooked at too high a heat, for a prolonged time, and the juices inside the meat evaporate, making it dry. The second is if too much heat is added in a short amount of time, which can cause the surface of the meat to cook faster than the interior, and again produce dryness."

The Titanic owners had used two white ships called the Oceanic and the Britannic as models for the Titanic. They were making the Titanic black in order to make it look sleeker."

},
{
"role": "assistant",
"content": "Sure! Here’s the original idea:\n\nThe Pavlov’s dog experiment was done in 1904 by a Russian physiologist named Ivan Pavlov. The main idea was that when he gave the dogs a meal, after the first few times he didn’t have to give them any more food to get them to salivate at the sound of a bell. Pavlov discovered that if the bell was rung every time the dog received food, the dog would soon start salivating at the sound of the bell. It seemed like there was a kind of a “signal” that meant “food!” that the dog picked up on."
},
{
"role": "user",
"content": "So the experiment was related to human conditioning?"
},
{
"role": "assistant",
"content": "You could say that, although the dog experiment did not involve humans in any way. Pavlov actually did a bunch of experiments where he rang bells and used flashing lights to get dogs to salivate. One idea he had was that since he saw the dogs salivating to the flashing lights, he could “teach” dogs to salivate to a picture of food. He had lots of great ideas like that, but most of them didn’t work out."
},
{
"role": "user",
"content": "What was the point of the experiment?"
},
{
"role": "assistant",
"content": "The idea was that even though Pavlov didn’t say anything, the dog could somehow sense when the bell was going to ring. Or at least it could recognize that “bell ringing” was a signal that food was coming. Even if you aren’t talking, your body can respond to subtle things."
},
{
"role": "user",
"content": "Why was Pavlov studying this response?"
},
{
"role": "assistant",
"content": "He wanted to learn about the nervous system in animals and people. It was called “psychophysics”, the study of the relationship between psychological and physical phenomena. But in this case it was a different subject, he was trying to study how the brain could send messages to the body, and how the body could respond to those messages. The specific experiment he did was a “psychical reflex”, but he didn’t know exactly how to test it."
},
{
"role": "user",
"content": "Do you mean physical reflex?"
},
{
"role": "assistant",
"content": "The term “psychical” just means something that’s related to mind or consciousness. He wanted to test how the mind could influence physical things like salivation, that’s why he chose dogs. At first it was just a theory, but his lab started collecting data about the physiology of salivation. They built a device called an “electrograph” that could measure the electrical activity in the dog’s salivary glands. They could watch the electrical activity in the glands as they measured the salivation."

Having video evidence of the incident can save you or even protect you from possible legal penalties. Additionally, dashcams are also great if you ever suspect that a thief has stolen something from you. The footage will have a record of when your property was taken, when, and from where. Finally, emergency situations can sometimes appear without warning and with no witnesses. If you have a dashcam, you can use the footage it recorded to help the police and authorities find and help anyone in need."

{

"content": "In many countries, it is required by law that police officers install dashcams inside the vehicles that they operate. These dashcams can benefit the officers as well as the police force, as they record what is happening during the operation of the vehicle. If an officer is ever suspected of doing something illegal or unjust, footage from their dashcam could be very important for the court to arrive at a verdict in their case. Dashcams can also help other police officers understand what happened and how an incident arose. Installing dashcams is especially important because the police officer is in a position of power, which could lead to them doing something unjust. Having a dashcam installed in the vehicle helps avoid and prevent that."

Tennessee is known as “The Volunteer State” because of the number of people who have voluntarily served in the military. The people here are known for being friendly, and always ready to help out a neighbor. The state motto is “Agriculture and Commerce” and the state bird is the Mockingbird, who is a symbol of Tennessee’s culture. Also, the fact that Tennessee is the only state which is bordered by the Appalachian, Mississippi, and Atlantic States gives it a unique identity."

There are many different ways to measure the population of a state, and the population distributions across states are highly variable, so different methods will yield very different answers. However based on the most common techniques for measuring state population, I would say that the largest state in the world by population is either China or India. China is currently the most populous country in the world with a population exceeding 1.4 billion, while India is the second most populous country with a current population of about 1.3 billion. So depending on the definition of “state”, either China or India would be the largest state in the world by population. However if we are measuring the population of a sovereign state territories rather than a single country, then the largest state in the world is the People’s Republic of China, which has a population of approximately 1.36 billion as of 2016."
},
{
"role": "user",
"content": "It looks like it is India. Is that correct?"
},
{
"role": "assistant",
"content": "Yes indeed it appears that India has the largest population of any state on earth, with over 1.3 billion people inhabiting the country as of 2017 estimates. India is followed by China and then the United States as the three most populous sovereign states in the world, with China having over 1.4 billion inhabitants and the United States sporting a population of about 325 million people. So in terms of sheer population size, India indeed appears to be the largest state in the world, followed closely by China and shortly thereafter by the United States. \n\nHowever there are many other ways to measure the size or importance of a state. In terms of land area, for instance, the People’s Republic of China is by far the largest state on earth, taking up over 9.6 million square miles of territory. Second place in terms of land area is held by Russia, covering more than 6.5 million square miles, while India occupies 3.2 million square miles of land. So in terms of land area, China is easily the largest state in the world followed closely by Russia, with India falling in somewhat further behind in third place. \n\nAnother measure of state size is economic output or gross domestic product, which is a measure of the total economic activity occurring within a country or state during a given period. Here again China takes the top position by a significant margin, generating over 18 trillion dollars of GDP in 2016, with the United States coming in a very close second place with a GDP of around 18 trillion dollars that same year. India ranks third with a GDP of over 6 trillion dollars, while Russia rounds out the top five with a GDP of over 2.7 trillion dollars."

Based on land area, the largest place in India is Rajasthan, which occupies about 70,000 square miles of territory. Rounding out the top three largest places in India based on land area are Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh, with Uttar Pradesh occupying a land area of around 52,000 square miles and Madhya Pradesh encompassing approximately 48,000 square miles. \n\n\nOf course the largest place in India by population is a very different matter, as the country is home to over 1.3 billion people! The largest city in India by population is Mumbai with over 18 million inhabitants, followed closely by Delhi with a population of nearly 16 million. The third largest city in India by population is Kolkata with a population of about 14 million people, making it the third largest city in India and the seventh largest city in the world. \n\n\nSo Rajasthan is indeed the largest state (or province) in India by land area, followed by Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh in second and third place respectively. Kolkata also has the largest population of any state or territory within India. However City-wise Mumbai is by far the largest city in India followed by Delhi in second place, and Kolkata falls into third place just behind Mumbai."

{
"role": "assistant",
"content": "You are absolutely correct that Mumbai is the largest city (or Metropolitan Area) in India, with a population of over 18 million people as of the most recent census in 2011. Mumbai is also the twelfth largest city in the world in terms of population. The city is the commercial and financial hub of India, and is the most populous city in the state of Maharashtra. Mumbai is also one of the most densely populated cities in the world with over 40,000 people per square mile. \n\n\nThe second largest city in India by population is Delhi, with a resident population of nearly 16 million people as of 2011 estimates. Delhi is the capital and largest metropolis of India, as well as a major global city and metropolitan area. It is also the second largest city in the state of Delhi, and is the fifteenth largest city in the world by population. The third largest city in India is Kolkata (Calcutta), which is the fourth most populous city in India and has a current resident population of over 14 million people as of 2014 estimates. Kolkata is also one of the most densely populated cities in the world with over 60,000 people per square mile, and is the commercial and economic hub of East India. \n\nSo as you can see Mumbai indeed has the largest population of any city within India (or any place for that matter), followed closely by Delhi and then Kolkata in a close third place. Mumbai is also the largest city by land area with about 700 square miles, which is quite a bit larger than Delhi and Kolkata which both have land areas of approximately 400 square miles. However all three cities are quite densely populated with more than 40,000 people per square mile."

First, when I’m buying a new laptop for my personal use, I want something that’s powerful enough to handle all the things I do with it, but not so powerful that I can’t do things I might want to do in the future. Second, when I’m recommending a laptop to someone, I usually think it’s important to look for a laptop that I think will serve its owner well over time. So, let’s start with a really specific question: What’s the fastest computer you know of? How much processing speed does it have? What’s the best use case for it? How much of your life are you going to spend doing stuff that requires high performance?"
},
{
"role": "user",

{
"role": "assistant",
"content": "That makes sense. OK, now I’ll have a hard time recommending a specific laptop for you. Let’s start with the high end, which is the best for tasks that really need lots of computing power. I have to imagine that you’ll get little use out of it, since the tasks you’ll do don’t require that kind of performance. It’s also possible to overpay for a high-end machine, and I’d recommend steering clear of any laptop with more than eight cores.\n\nTo help get you started with the decision process, I have to tell you that I have high regard for Apple products in general. I think that the hardware is usually very good, and that the Mac operating system makes it easier than other operating systems to do tasks like browse the web and send email. On the other hand, I think Apple’s customer support is mediocre, and its products can be pricier than other brands. That said, I do understand that these products can feel appealing. \n\nSo let’s think about the average consumer, and what they might want from a laptop. I think a good first step is that they should buy something cheap, but not really"

If men and women both started to use perfume, it would likely start to smell less feminine, or they might buy a different kind of perfume with a different scent that is more masculine.

However, since those types of processes are much less of a factor in our economy today, the underlying economics that motivated daylight savings time has mostly been eliminated.\n\nA more recent argument is that daylight savings time makes for more energy efficient transportation, since commuters will take advantage of that extra hour of daylight in the morning and not have to turn on their headlights."

I’d say the main things you need to think about are what kind of fish you’d like to catch, what equipment and lures are best for catching those particular fish, and also what to do if you actually catch one. So let’s start with what kind of fish you want to catch. I could tell you all kinds of information about what’s edible, or legal to keep, or best to eat, or whatever, but I have a hunch you’re looking for a more whimsical approach to fishing, or something that’ll produce a higher number of fish. Can I ask, what’s your goal?"

You’ll want a rod, you’ll want to make sure it’s a long enough rod to fish from the edge of the canals. For bait, you can use anything really, though you can get better results if you buy from a bait shop and use some of the specialized tackle for that kind of thing. Oh, and definitely bring a good strong net. So you’d have a paddle, a rod, a net, and some bait."

But to answer your question, I think the typical player has an array of motivations. Firstly, playing Bingo is a way to provide people with a sense of community. Because it’s common for multiple people to play together at the same time, Bingo players can engage in pleasantries like “good luck” and “good game” with other players. It’s also a good opportunity to connect with strangers, so the next time you’re at a Bingo hall you might meet somebody else with an interest in game theory or cats."

},
{
"role": "assistant",
"content": "Let's ask some science here. If we're talking about a USB charger, which is just basically a battery, it will charge just as fast as it can. And as we know, the speed of charging is proportional to the voltage, the current (how much is going through the wire), and the resistence of the circuit. We can imagine that for a given circuit, increasing the voltage will increase the speed of the charging, so it does seem like a higher voltage cord could be faster, but if we look at USB-A 1.8 volt and 5.5 volt cords, they seem to be almost identical in size. They can't have the same voltage. \n\nSo it looks like what we might be seeing is an increase in the current of the circuit, not an increase in the voltage. To test this theory, we can measure the resistance of each cord. We can use a multimeter and see how many ohms it takes to put 1 amp of current through the circuit, and then compare the values."

"content": "There are a couple of reasons I can think of. One is that a steady supply of oxygen helps your body use its own natural resources, such as vitamin C, better. Vitamin C helps keep your eyes and eye-associated tissues healthy. Eating lots of colorful fruits and vegetables is a good idea, and you should also be careful to get enough vitamin D, by getting enough sunlight or taking a supplement. There are some pretty simple things you can do to avoid dry eyes, like drinking enough water. Another big factor is the health of your corneas, so that you don’t end up with cataracts, which can be caused by lots of UV light from being outside a lot. Even just wearing sunglasses will help prevent cataracts."
