Why do people chose to homeschool their children?
Response:
Choosing how and where to educate your child is a very important family decision. Parents have different values and make different decisions accordingly. Homeschooling is on the rise due to the pandemic, safety, quality of the curriculum and ideological factors. This trend is documented in the United States and many other countries such as Canada, Australia, Mexico, France, South Korea, and the United Kingdom. According to the National Home Education Research Institute, homeschooled children usually score 15 to 30 percentile points above public school students on standardized tests. Some research has found that overall, 78% of the compared and reviewed studies confirm that homeschooled children performed significantly better than their public schooled peers in terms of academic performance. Social and Emotional Skills are an area where homeschools have perceived weakness, but that is not true. Infact, 87% of peer-reviewed studies on the subject indicate that they perform statistically significantly better than those in conventional schools. |

write short essay on Neil Armstrong experience on moon
Response:
On July 20th, 1969, Neil Armstrong, an American astronaut, made history by becoming the first human to set foot on the Moon. As he stepped onto the lunar surface, he famously uttered the words, "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind."
Armstrong's experience on the Moon was a momentous occasion that captured the world's attention. He spent just over two hours outside the spacecraft, collecting samples, conducting experiments, and taking photographs. He was joined by fellow astronaut Buzz Aldrin, who followed him out of the lunar module a short while later.
Despite the excitement of the moment, Armstrong later described his time on the Moon as a serene and otherworldly experience. The Moon's surface was eerily quiet, with no atmosphere to carry sound. Armstrong described the sky as "completely black," and the Earth as a "magnificent, lonely" sight in the distance.
Armstrong's mission to the Moon was a triumph of human ingenuity and perseverance. It marked a new era in space exploration and cemented America's position as a leader in the field. His bravery and dedication to science continue to inspire generations of scientists and explorers to this day. |
Instruction:
what happens when you blow air into alkaline water?
Response:
When you blow air into alkaline water the C02 from your breath creates carbonic acid which lowers the potential hydrogen of the alkaline water. If you blow air into the alkaline water long enough the alkaline water will eventually turn acidic. Potential hydrogen drops can be used to measure the PH to show the effect of blowing air into alkaline water. PH drops will show alkaline water as blue and purple, and they will show acidic water as yellow. |

You can fry and egg on a stovetop. Its recommended to preheat the pan on medium heat, once warm spray the pan with cooking spray or use butter before cracking an egg into the pan.

Instruction:
what is one good example on a hackathon project for a middle school student for programming?
Response:
After months of lockdowns and social distancing, schools finally reopened for in-person classes, and parents are thrilled to be able to attend their children's concerts and performances once again. Many parents had missed these events and were eager to show their support for their children's artistic pursuits. Parents are excited to attend her in-person concert, but many of them quickly realized that they didn't know much about classical music, which made it difficult for them to fully appreciate the performance.
As a kid who loves music, I always feel so proud and happy when my parents attend my concerts and performances. However, I often wonder if they are truly able to enjoy the music as much as I do, especially since they may not know much about the background and context of the pieces that are being played.
I believe that knowing the background of the music can make a huge difference in how much someone enjoys it. When you understand the story and history behind a piece of music, it becomes more than just a series of notes and melodies; it becomes a powerful expression of emotion and meaning. Also knowing the background of the music can help us appreciate and connect with the music on a deeper level, allowing us to use it as a powerful tool for stress relief and relaxation. By actively listening and understanding the expressive qualities of the music, we can harness its potential to enhance our mood and promote emotional wellbeing. |

What is the attraction in the United States for the Jeep Wrangler?
Response:
The Jeep Wrangler represents the current version of the original Jeep Willys platform which was first released in 1940 for the U.S. Army. The Jeep Wrangler platform first became available in 1987 and has become one of the most recognizable vehicles manufactured today. The love Wrangler owners have for their vehicles stems from the utilitarian nature of the platform, the ability to remove the top and doors in warmer weather, the wide array of aftermarket modifications available, as well as its extensive off road capabilities directly off the showroom floor. Jeep enthusiasts, also known as “Jeepers,” often wave at each other when passing in opposite directions. This tradition stemmed from the use of the Willy’s model in the US military where out of reverence and courtesy passing soldiers driving their Jeeps would wave or salute each other depending on rank. This tradition continues today amongst Wrangler owners and has been affectionately dubbed the “Jeep Wave.” |
Instruction:
Describe the sensation of taking a cold shower and explain the rationale for why someone might take one.
Response:
When you take a shower with very cold water, you throw your body into a temporary state of shock. You feel your skin raise. Your toes may curl a bit. Your eyes may widen. If it is early morning and you're still waking up, you may find that you suddenly feel very alert.
By leaving a room with a warm and comfortable temperature and entering a space with water produced at a chilly and uncomfortable temperature you actually trick your body. The sudden shift produces alertness that can be beneficial for people who are trying to wake up without caffeine and other stimulants or are otherwise trying to train their bodies to tolerate harsh conditions. |
Instruction:
Imagine you are getting married and are attending a wedding cake tasting. Describe five different flavors you try, with combinations of both cake and frosting for each tasting. Pick one best flavor at the end of the five tastings.
Response:
The first flavor I try is vanilla cake with a buttercream frosting. The cake is good, but too plain and basic. Next we try a vanilla cake with a chai frosting, and I like it a lot more, since I love spice. Although I do worry that the vanilla cake might be a bit plain. A third option is a dark chocolate cake with a cherry and chocolate ganache filling, which is very rich and moist, which I appreciate. Fourth we try a lemon drizzle cake, which is nice but I'm not sure the right choice for the rest of our menu. And for our final flavor we try a matcha cake with white chocolate frosting, which has a very nice cake but I think the frosting is too sweet. Finally, I decide to pick the chocolate and cherry combination because I think it had the best cake and frosting combination. |

What is data visualisation in the context of business intelligence?
Response:
Data visualisation in any context is the art and science of organising data in such a way that makes it easily consumable by a human audience. Specifically, in the context of business intelligence, you are typically presenting facts and insights about a business to stakeholders in order for them to take action and make better decisions to run that business.
Good data visualisation combines user experience design with an understanding of how people interpret data to provide something intuitive and compelling for the intended audience to use.
Here are some examples of design and interpretation choices you might make:
In terms of design, many cultures write on a page from top to bottom, left to right. This means that the first place on any visualisation that a person from any of these cultures will look is top left. Consequently, the content you put in the top left space of your dashboard should be a critically important part of the story you are trying to tell. In a culture that writes right to left you might put higher-value content on the right-hand side of the visualisation.
In terms of in terms interpretation you want to key into things that people are naturally good at interpreting. For example, if you are presenting sales by product category and you have 10 product categories you could choose to leverage a bar chart where the length of the bar represents sales or a pie chart where the angle of the slice represents sales. A bar chart would be a better choice because people find it easy to compare the length of a bar. We cannot distinguish between the sizes of a slice with anywhere near the same level of accuracy. Choosing a pie chart would leave your users spending more time and effort interpreting your data visualisation than if you had chosen a bar chart to present the information to them. |

As you start to build your desired structure you start to take 1-3 or couple of handful of legos from the basket. As you start to give some shape to the structure you are designing you start to put back some of the legos into the basket you don't need. Overtime you keep changing the shape slightly here and there; sometimes making the structure smaller and sometimes a little bigger.

What is the difference between American Football and European Football?
Response:
Prior to American Football coming into existence, European Football was played throughout the world as an athletic sport that entailed kicking a round ball into an opponent's goal. European Football is typically played on a grass turf surface called a pitch. European Football was actually first called soccer before its adoption by the entire world and ended up settling on the name football. This is where the common confusion surrounds European Football and American Football. American Football, created much later than European Football, is played with a pig skin with a prolate shape on a grass turf surface, much like European Football. In American Football, instead of using their feet, players use their hands to pass the ball to one another through the air or hand the ball off to one another and attempt to run into the opponent's endzone. When European Football eventually came to the United States, the moniker soccer remained with the sport. This is why European Football is the same as American Soccer and American Football is not the same as European Football. |

Both factors may interact, further affecting the phenotype. When two or more clearly different phenotypes exist in the same population of a species, the species is called polymorphic. A well-documented example of polymorphism is Labrador Retriever coloring; while the coat color depends on many genes, it is clearly seen in the environment as yellow, black, and brown. Richard Dawkins in 1978 and then again in his 1982 book The Extended Phenotype suggested that one can regard bird nests and other built structures such as caddisfly larva cases and beaver dams as "extended phenotypes".
Wilhelm Johannsen proposed the genotype–phenotype distinction in 1911 to make clear the difference between an organism's hereditary material and what that hereditary material produces. The distinction resembles that proposed by August Weismann (1834–1914), who distinguished between germ plasm (heredity) and somatic cells (the body). More recently, in The Selfish Gene (1976), Dawkins distinguished these concepts as replicators and vehicles.
The genotype–phenotype distinction should not be confused with Francis Crick's central dogma of molecular biology, a statement about the directionality of molecular sequential information flowing from DNA to protein, and not the reverse. |

Getting enough water every day is essential for your health. Drinking water can prevent dehydration, a condition that can cause unclear thinking, result in mood change, cause your body to overheat, and lead to constipation and kidney stones.
People who don't drink enough water daily are at greater risk of kidney stones, heart valve problems, and cancer. Even minor dehydration can affect physical and mental performance. Drinking water is also essential for the health of your mouth. |
Instruction:
How to give a good presentation?
Response:
Any good presentations should be well-timed. The presenter should make eye contact with the audience. They should also make use of power pauses - count "1, 2, 3, 4, 5" - before moving on. It may sound awkward for you but silence can be immensely powerful for audience to absorb the message. Don't be afraid to be yourself on the stage. Be mindful of your body language on the stage. Don't pace like a lion and find your resting pose. The most important thing though, is to practice! Just as how you wouldn't show up to a swimming competition without ever practicing swimming, you wouldn't just stand on the stage and expect to be able to give a good presentation. Practice is key! |
Instruction:
Is karaoke fun?
Response:
It depends. Some people like karaoke, and some don't. You might enjoy karaoke if, for example, you have an outgoing personality, like to sing or perform publicly, or enjoy bonding with others over music. Others might find karaoke to be loud or may not like listening to amateur performers, who at times can also be intoxicated if performing at a karaoke bar. In addition, when at a public location that offers karaoke, the songs are selected by the performer, so you cannot predict whether you will enjoy the music selection (unless you may happen to rent a private room where you can select all of the songs yourself, which is offered at certain karaoke institutions). Interestingly, whether or not you personally would consider yourself to have a good voice does not always determine how much you will enjoy karaoke. |

Instruction:
Which football team should I support?
Response:
There are many different ways that people decide what football team to support. Many choose to support their closest team geographically. This can be for many reasons, but common among them is that it should be easier for them to attend the games, or that they might feel a sense of local pride. Some choose to support teams based on the influence of their friends or family. For example, a child may support a team because their parents do, or a person may support a team because they are introduced to that team through their friends. Some people only like to support a team that wins often, and so may base their decision on which team is most successful in current times. Finally, people may support a team because they like their style of play. |

How does a Husqvarna automatic lawn mower operate.
Response:
The Husqvarna Automower operates very similarly to a Roomba automated vacuum cleaner. However the main difference is that you have to lay down a wire perimeter about two inches below the lawn to guide it and it requires electrical power, usually low voltage. Once it is set up, the lawn mower can be scheduled to operate every evening on a schedule that works for you. It will cut about 1mm of grass per night and those cuttings will feed your lawn. |

What does airplane glide ratio mean?
Response:
Airplane glide ratio is a measure of an airplane's glide performance. It is the ratio between distance forward to distance downward for an airplane in free, unpowered flight. Glide ratio is affected by properties such as aerodynamical drag, wing construction, and more. Sailplanes are among the most efficient airplanes, achieving glide ratios over 70:1. |

Let me know if you think these are musical instruments or tools: Piano, chisel, Marimba, hammer, drill, scissor, violin, drums, screwdriver, brass, clarinet.
Response:
Piano, marimba, violin, drums and brass are all musical instruments. Piano belongs to the percussive chordophone family. A violin is a bowed stringed musical instrument. Marimba and the drums are percussion instruments. A brass falls under the category of wind instruments, while a clarinet is considered a woodwind instrument.
From your list, the following items are tools: chisel, hammer, drill and screwdriver. Chisel is a hand tool used for carving a hard material such as wood, stone, or metal. With a scissor, you normally cut paper and potentially some types of thin plastic. A hammer is a multi-purpose tool that you can use, for example, to secure objects with nails in wood, pull nails from wood and demolish objects. A drill is commonly used to drill holes or to drive screws into wood, metal, concrete and other materials. Last, a screwdriver is a mechanical hand tool that can you can use to drive screws in similar materials. |
Instruction:
Who is the top baseball player based on offensive categories that are not in the major league baseball hall of fame with no chance of getting in while alive.
Response:
While there is an exhaustive amount of ways one could approach this answer, there is arguable only one player in all of the major offensive categories that is not in the hall of fame. That player is Pete Rose. Players like Barry Bonds and Albert Pujols may have better overall statistics in the power categories of baseball, but they still have an outside chance to get into the hall of fame, whereas Pete Rose has been banned for life by major league baseball and does not have any current pathway into the hall of fame. Speculation is that this will change posthumously, but the executives of major league baseball will not consider any change to this status while he is alive. |
