How can I make my bike more aerodynamic?
Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: How can I make my bike more aerodynamic? ### Response:
Assuming you are keeping your existing bike frame, the top two ways to decrease aerodynamic drag are to ensure you are comfortable riding in an aerodynamic position, and upgrading your wheel set and using road tires. Improving body positioning will have the most benefit at the lowest cost. Because wheel spokes are continuously cutting through air as you ride, they induce drag. Spokes on wheels with less aerodynamic drag allow for the wheels to roll with less resistance. Aerodynamic wheels are generally lighter which also decreases rolling drag.

is keto diet healthy?
Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: is keto diet healthy? ### Response:
The keto diet is originally designed in clinics to relieve seizure symptoms in children with epilepsy. The diet prescribes intake of nutrients be majority from fat, a small percentage from protein, and very low carbohydrate. The low carbohydrates diet is adopted by people who want to lose weight. Some claim that they burn fat more effectively and reduce glucose levels because the diet makes you feel less hungry after each meal and limits the amount of sugar. However, solid research proof of the diet’s effectiveness in treating obesity or diabetes is limited. As a highly imbalanced nutrient diet, keeping a long-term keto diet can be challenging or even risky. Long-term keto diet could cause low blood pressure, kidney stones, constipation, nutrient deficiencies, eating disorder, and an increased risk of heart disease. Strict diets like keto could also cause social isolation or disordered eating. Keto should be taken with extra caution for people with pre-existing medical conditions like high blood pressure or heart diseases.

What is the difference between retinol and tretinoin?
Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: What is the difference between retinol and tretinoin? ### Response:
Everyone’s skin is different, but no one’s skin is immune to the effects of sunlight, stress, and natural aging. To treat these effects, you might decide to use retinoids. Retinoids are chemical compounds related to vitamin A. Retinol and tretinoin are both examples of retinoids. Tretinoin can also be called all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA). When it comes to treating your skin, the biggest difference between these two compounds is their strength. Retinol is a vital nutrient. It’s fat-soluble, which means it can stay in your body for a long time. Your liver can take this stored retinol and convert it into tretinoin. Your body will use the tretinoin for a variety of biological functions. For the purposes of skin care, tretinoin can be thought of as a more concentrated version of retinol. This means that tretinoin is stronger than retinol.

What are some pro tips when cold calling?
Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: What are some pro tips when cold calling? ### Response:
Cold calling is more art than science. The primary mistake people make when cold calling is in defining what success looks like. For most sales roles, the goal of a cold call is to establish rapport, not to book an order. Think about it - when was the last time you purchased something by phone the first time you were contacted? Odds are that several follow ups were required before you were ready to buy, no matter how qualified a buyer you appeared to be. Establishing rapport means getting your prospect to open up, because he/she has determined that you are worth the time to do so. So the keys to establishing rapport are simple: be courteous and respectful, provide appropriate context, and be OPEN. Let's consider each of these individually. First, courtesy and respect- after briefly introducing yourself, ask the prospect if now is a good time to talk for a few minutes? We've all experienced the annoyance of a caller who dives right into the conversation immediately after hearing a "hello". Be respectful of your prospect's schedule and give him/her an "out." If it's not a good time, you're not going to have a successful call no matter what you try. Next, provide appropriate context. Don't assume he/she knows nothing about what you are trying to sell. If that were the case, this prospect wouldn't be a very good target for you! Prepare a short introductory statement that can be delivered in a genuine way with a friendly tone. For example, "I'm with ACME Mobile Window Repair and wanted to share some spring promotions with you - have you seen our trucks around your neighborhood?" Setting context will help build rapport by providing a clear understanding of why you are calling, and what you hope to get out of the conversation. Successful sales people are very comfortable with the fact that they are trying to sell something. Own it, but do so in a low key and friendly way, and this will help lower the defenses of your prospect if he/she sounds guarded Lastly, be open. This means open to going off script, open to hearing about competition or open to negative impressions of what you're selling. An open dialogue allows room for questions, both from you and from your prospect. Think about an enjoyable conversation you've had lately. Was it a natural back and forth, with questions posed and answers provided? Did the questions take the conversation into a deeper dialogue? A successful cold call is one that feels like a natural conversation about a topic of shared interest. If your prospect goes off on a tangent, don't redirect too soon, or better yet - ask a question - "I'm curious - What made you think of carpets when I mentioned windows?" If he/she goes negative about your offering, ask another question - "What in your experience has caused you to feel this way?" Cold calling is a skill that can improve with practice. The more comfortable you are being courteous, setting context, and remaining open, the better your sales outcomes will be. And it never hurts to smile - even over the phone!

Write a paragraph on the difficulties of seizure detection among epilepsy patients.
Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: Write a paragraph on the difficulties of seizure detection among epilepsy patients. ### Response:
Seizure detection in epilepsy usually faces the problem of subjectivity where one reviewer's response may differ from another. This makes the seizure classification very difficult, wasting a lot of time. The gold standard, video-EEG, is also time-consuming and resource-intensive. An epilepsy patient can also have multiple types of seizures, making the detection even more difficult. This becomes more challenging when seizure types like hyperkinetic seizures have similar traits to non-epilepsy functional seizures.

Should I buy a gravel bike or a down country mountain bike?
Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: Should I buy a gravel bike or a down country mountain bike? ### Response:
Although there is reasonable overlap in what you can use gravel and downcountry bikes for, the answer her largely depends on what you plan to do the most of and if trail riding will be important for you. Gravel bikes are great for covering offroad miles more efficiently and long days in the saddle both on road or offroad. However, the lack of any meaningful suspension means that or but a small amount of time off paths and more established trails will be hard work. Downcountry bikes will enable you to go on a wider range of terrain, inlcuding the ability to do trail riding (be very careful before trying to navigate downhill trails on a gravel bike!). However, downcountry bikes are usually heavier but the full suspension and geometry makes them less efficient compared to a gravel bike.

Being in a relationship always has ups and downs, but ending a relationship is one of the hardest things humans do because we often feel the loss of hope and uncertainty about the future.

Based on the given text, what is the population growth rate of Afghanistan since 1979?
Below is an instruction that describes a task, paired with an input that provides further context. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: Based on the given text, what is the population growth rate of Afghanistan since 1979? ### Input: The population of Afghanistan was estimated at 32.9 million as of 2019 by the Afghanistan Statistics and Information Authority, whereas the UN estimates over 38.0 million. In 1979 the total population was reported to be about 15.5 million. About 23.9% of them are urbanite, 71.4% live in rural areas, and the remaining 4.7% are nomadic. An additional 3 million or so Afghans are temporarily housed in neighboring Pakistan and Iran, most of whom were born and raised in those two countries. ### Response:
The population of Afghanistan was estimated at 32.9 million as of 2019 by the Afghanistan Statistics and Information Authority, whereas the UN estimates over 38.0 million. In 1979 the total population was reported to be about 15.5 million. About 23.9% of them are urbanite, 71.4% live in rural areas, and the remaining 4.7% are nomadic. An additional 3 million or so Afghans are temporarily housed in neighboring Pakistan and Iran, most of whom were born and raised in those two countries.
There are varying accounts of the population of Afghanistan. The Afghanistan Statistics and Information Authority estimated the population at 32.9 million in 2019 whereas the UN estimates it at 38.90 million. In 1979 the total population was reported to be about 15.5 million. Using the following formula: Percentage Increase = ((Final Value - Starting Value)/(Starting Value)) * 100 Using the Afghan Statistics and Information Authority Estimate: Percentage Increase = ((32.9 - 15.5)/(15.5)) * 100 = 112.25% Using the UN Estimate: Percentage Increase = ((38.90 - 15.5)/(15.5)) * 100 = 150.96% Therefore, the percentage growth rate of the population of Afghanistan is either 112.25% (Afghan Statistics and Information Authority) or 150.96% (UN) based on the two estimates provided.

Please explain why adding more indexes to a relational database is not always beneficial for speeding up workloads.
Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: Please explain why adding more indexes to a relational database is not always beneficial for speeding up workloads. ### Response:
At a high level, an index over a specific table can speed up the execution of a query that accesses the table provided that the query references a compatible subset of columns that the index covers and that the cost of using the index is lower than alternatives (e.g., simply scanning the whole table or using another index). At the same time, the index needs to be kept up-to-date with the table, which means that each table update (insertion or deletion of new rows, or updates to existing rows for the columns that the index covers) will now cost more as the relational database system has to also propagate the update to the index. Thus, the usefulness of adding an index to a workload will depend on the fraction of queries that can benefit from the index, and on the mix of queries and updates.

7 am: There is still no food in my bowl. I have tried to point Maria in the direction of the bowl at least 8 times, and she is not noticing. I even attempted to mimic the cry of a newborn human to attract her attention, and yet she is only focused on her coffee machine. I fear she is addicted. 8 am: Belly full from breakfast. I dislike my new food, the cat on the bag scares me. I will take a nap in the sun. 9 am: Continued to nap in the sun. Had to move multiple times because the sun patch moved, very annoying. I am starting to feel higher energy as my stomach is no longer stuffed. Time to eat the remaining food in my bowl I saved for a mid morning snack 10 am: There was a bird on the porch that I scared away. It was a close call, but I showed him who is boss here 11 am: Visited my Maria's roommate at their desk. I helped them with their work, but my paws are not particularly well suited for their keyboard. Was then unceremoniously kicked out of the room 12 pm: Tried to convince the roommate to give me lunch. Instead she just sat their and ate her fish and didn't offer me any. 1 pm: Time for my afternoon nap in the hammock 2 pm: Woke up discovering I had overheated in the hammock. Hunted the laser pointer and then I noticed the bird had returned. Put him in his place again. 3 pm: Took a tour of the kitchen counters. Noticed that Maria had left the cat food partially open. Ate some to prevent it from going bad and wasting perfectly good food. 4 pm: Took a nap under Maria's bed while waiting for her to get home 5 pm: Reunited! All is well again, except for Maria still doesn't notice my food bowl 6 pm: Maria brought me a mouse to play with. I indulge her by chasing it. 7 pm: Maria finally notices the food bowl. She pulls out a new bag, without a scary cat on it. All is well in the world.

Tell me what I should do in London, England.
Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: Tell me what I should do in London, England. ### Response:
If you're visiting London, it may feel daunting attempting to take advantage of everything this cosmopolitan city has to offer. But that's part of its magic — there's something for everyone! A few ideas: Enjoy the food. I highly recommend wandering through the vendor stands at Borough Market in Southwark — it's only open for lunch and you should bring cash because most vendors don't take cards! If you're looking for a high-end restaurant, try Chiltern Firehouse in Marylebone. Another popular option is Dishoom: it's an upscale Indian restaurant with multiple locations and worth the hype. And for lighter fare, indulge in the English custom of afternoon tea! You could try Sketch in Mayfair or The Savoy in Covent Garden for completely different experiences — Sketch is definitely a millennial’s take on tea and it’s very trendy, whereas The Savoy is more traditional. Grab a drink. You might think of dark pubs when you think of London, but it is also home to some of the best cocktail bars in the world. For a unique experience, find a "public bathroom bar" or a speakeasy like Keystone Crescent Members Club. Shoreditch has plenty of options for the imbibers, like Ace Hotel Rooftop and Old St Records. Then there's Duke's Bar in Mayfair, which is a famous spot for a martini since Ian Fleming used to hang out there when he was writing James Bond novels. Visit a museum. The Tate Modern offers free entry and an excellent view of the city. It's on the south side of the Thames, and you can wander from there to the Shakespeare Globe. The National Portrait Gallery will keep you entertained, even though it really is home to all portraits, but you can learn a lot about British history by reading through the biographies of public figures featured. I also recommend seeing which artist's work the Hayward Gallery at the Southbank Centre is exhibiting, since it's an excellent space. The Tower of London is a classic for visitors: the castle is a World Heritage Site and where you need to go if you want to admire the Crown Jewels. See a show. If you live or often see Broadway shows in New York, this might be less exciting to you, but London shows are relatively easy to secure tickets for, and a great activity if you're interested in experiencing even more British culture. Shop. Don't miss the famous Harrod's, the iconic department store with a iconic food floor. Liberty is another well-known London department store. Less expensive, and known for their stationary. And if department stores aren't your thing, pop into local boutiques!

What is sake and how is it made?
Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: What is sake and how is it made? ### Response:
Sake is an alcoholic beverage that originated in Japan hundreds of years ago and is now enjoyed around the world. Despite being sometimes called a “rice wine”, Sake is actually a brewed beverage that is more similar to beer than it is to wine. Sake typically has an ABV of around 15%. Sake is made from 4 ingredients: rice, yeast, water and Koji. First, rice is washed and then steamed. Then the rice goes into a special room where the environment is tightly controlled called the “Koji Room” where a special enzyme called Koji is sprinkled on the rice. The Koji converts the starch in the rice to sugar. Then, yeast and water is added to the rice in a large container to start the fermentation process of converting the sugar in alcohol. One the mixture is fermented to the right ABV, then the mixture is pressed which separates the liquid from the residue rice. Typically, the sake is the bottled and pasteurized for longer shelf life.
