Instruction: What is the difference between tennis shoes and sandals? Response: Tennis shoes are a form of footware that fully covers and supports your feet. These shoes are designed to endure a lot of wear and tear, as they are often used for physical activity and general daily use. Tennis shoes typically have full heal support that limits the movement of your foot within the shoe as you wear them. Tennis shoes also have laces, which help the wearer to tighten the shoe fabric around your foot, providing further support. Sandals are a type of footware that does not fully cover or support your foot. Sandals typically have some sort of wrap or toe fixture that helps to keep the shoe on the wearer as they walk. This type of shoe is mostly used for short-term wear, at the beach, or at the pool, as they are extremely convenient to put on and take off.

Instruction: Q: Does spraying people with disinfectant, or having people go through disinfectant tunnels, walkways, or chambers, lower the spread of COVID-19? Response: : No. The FDA does not recommend spraying humans with aerosolized disinfectant. At this time, there is a lack of data to demonstrate that sanitation tunnels are effective in reducing the spread of or in treating COVID-19. Chemicals used in sanitation tunnels can irritate the skin, eyes, or airways and cause other health issues. Hand sanitizers are only for use on the hands and are not to be used over larger body surfaces, ingested, inhaled, or injected. Given serious safety concerns and the lack of data to demonstrate that sanitation tunnels are effective in reducing the spread of or in treating COVID-19, the FDA strongly discourages the use or development of sanitation tunnels at this time, as described in this February 2022 guidance titled “COVID-19 Public Health Emergency: Policy on COVID-19-Related Sanitation Tunnels.” Surface disinfectants or sprays should not be used on humans or animals. They are intended for use on hard, non-porous surfaces (materials that do not absorb liquids easily). CDC provides information regarding disinfectant practices for surfaces. CDC states you should never eat, drink, breathe or inject disinfectants into your body or apply directly to your skin as they can cause serious harm.

Instruction: I want to get in better shape. I work at a desk all day, and I've never really been in good shape. Growing up, I didn't play sports or spend a lot of time outdoors. I know I need to improve my physical health, but I really don't know how to get started. Can you recommend a workout routine for me? Response: Sure! I can recommend a plan to help you get in shape. To get started, consistency is key, so you do not want to overdo it and injure yourself. I recommend a simple routine. For the first week, walk 20 minutes a day at a moderate pace. For the second week, walk 30 minutes a day at a moderate pace. For the third week, walk 30 minutes and start to do 3 sets of 5 wall push-ups each day. Wall push-ups are push-ups against a wall, and you can make them easier or harder depending on how far from the wall you stand. For the fourth week and beyond, increase your daily walk by 5 min, until you can consistently walk 60 min a day. You should also increase the number of sets and repetitions of your wall push-ups until you can do 5 sets of 10 repetitions. When you are comfortable with this routine, you are ready to go to a gym, start jogging, or use weights to continue improving your physical health.

Instruction: Identify and briefly describe the four strategies employed by the leaders of the modern civil rights movement. If you were advising a group seeking to guarantee certain civil rights today (for example, disabled people, gays/lesbians, or immigrants) which would you advise them to use? Response: There were four strategies employed by the leaders of the modern civil rights movement. The first was legalism, which used the courts to attack discriminatory laws or practices. The limits of legalism are the cost, slow change, burden on the individual and it was elite driven. The second was nonviolent direct action (NVDA). NVDA identifies an unjust law which is then broken by individuals trying to promote change. Individuals must then accept the consequences of breaking the law, but if enough do so, it puts pressure on local governments. The third strategy was political action, which used voting on proactive agendas to force change. Finally, the fourth strategy was the black power movement. This strategy promoted disengagement from white-society and setting up a separate black power structure. It provided services to the black community and promoted positive black images, but had weak leadership and was prone to violence and paranoia. If I was advising a civil rights group today, I would advise them to use the first three strategies. Legalism, NVDA and political action are positive and effective ways to enable change. They usually encourage sympathetic news coverage and get the message of the group out to the broader public. A strategy like the black power movement would not be effective. If you want to change society, you can’t separate from it or try to change it from the outside. You need to work within the system to change it. Violence will also turn public support away from your group and allow government agencies to crack down on your leadership, making it hard to continue to bring about the change you desire.
Instruction: State if the below is a haiku? "boiling hot lava bubbles beneath the earths crust erupts sparkling fire" Response: yes
Instruction: Are fresh vegetable brought at a grocery store fresher than frozen vegetables? Response: It's quite common for a lot of people to assume that fresh vegetables are fresher than frozen vegetables. In fact, many wrongly assume that freezing destroys nutrients. Nothing could be farther from the truth. To survive transportation and storage, fresh vegetables are often harvested prematurely at sub-par nutrition levels. On the other hand, frozen vegetables are harvested close to peak maturity and nutrition levels. Unless you have your own kitchen garden or have access to a farmers market located close to where the vegetables are actually grown, frozen is a better bet - it's fresher, more convenient and rather crucially, more easily accessible for you to improve the health quotient of your meals. It's better to eat frozen peas all through the year than be puritanical about enjoying it only during winter. Eating healthily is as much a behavior science problem as it is a nutrition science problem, and it's easier to keep frozen peas around and eat it regularly than to try and remember what is currently in season and go out of the way to procure them fresh all the time. Long term convenience always trumps short term will power improvements.

Instruction: what is a competition? Response: A competition is when teams or individuals are in the act of competing against each other.

And they are in a beautiful tropical setting which makes it more like a fairytale setting! I would go to any of these places again in a heartbeat!
Instruction: Polly, a 51-year-old female, visits your fitness facility. Polly has been told she has pre-diabetes. Explain to her what this means. What role can exercise play in reversing this? Response: From a scientific point of view, this means that she is insulin resistant, but she does not have hyperglycemia. As a result, she should be concerned; she is at a high risk for developing type 2 diabetes. The health risks are numerous: damage to blood vessels, high blood pressure, obesity, osteoporosis (thinning bones), and even certain types of cancer like colon, breast, and prostate. However, she can lower insulin resistance and mitigate her risk of pre-diabetes by improving her exercise habits. According to ACSM’s Health and Fitness Journal, almost “all physical activity has a positive effect on insulin.” To maximize efficacy, she should focus on moderate to higher intensity physical activities to best enhance insulin action and glycemic control.

Instruction: In what industries is GIS indispensable? Response: These days, multiple industries are utilising GIS (geographic information system) as an integral part of how they do business. They use GIS to store, analyse, and quantify data with geographical information to show how it relates to other components. GIS compliments every industry. And forward-thinking companies recognise that with the ability to analyse information efficiently, they can optimise their efforts, use resources more efficiently, and have an advantage in their industry. There are many advantages that a business gains when using GIS, and it is transforming industries such as utilities, infrastructure, environment management, and others: The industries using GIS serve some of our most fundamental needs. Environmental Agencies GIS gathers and stores critical data for environmental agencies to track and monitor habitat, wetland, and coastal shoreline erosion, identify locations where threatened species live, water sources and other natural resources. It can also help to track patterns and help predict natural disasters, glacier changes and soil erosion. All of the environmental data gathered is essential in helping with conservation, protection and restoration efforts. Other industries can also access and utilise the data collected by researchers and conservationists. Utility Companies One of the most active users of GIS is the utility sector, and they use it to help with: Managing grids and identifying patterns in customer usage, outages and supply issues Tracking and monitoring pipelines Locating water pipes and cables Wireless networks Construction planning Monitor assets and field workers GIS, with its comprehensive database, helps to maintain and monitor overhead and underground utilities, improving efficiency and effectiveness and saving time and money Infrastructure Companies The planning and development of our roads, electricity, water supply lines, buildings, and society’s basic framework is mapped, managed, and monitored by companies that incorporate GIS in the infrastructure industry. GIS simplifies communications, improves efficiency and effectiveness for field workers, helps to monitor assets and workers, tracks and stores customer usage and issues, improves customer/client satisfaction, and much more. Telecommunications GIS is widely used in the telecom sector to help monitor real-time data about current use, outages, and signal strength to help them better understand customers’ patterns and needs. The telecom companies also use GIS to help optimise their resources effectively and efficiently, mitigate problems and plan for future growth. Retail Retail stores depend on knowing where their customer base lives or works and how far they are willing to travel to buy goods. GIS supplies essential data to help retail companies determine location, optimise inventory and sales, and plan their marketing campaigns to reach their ideal clientele. Government Geographical information is critical for the government to make decisions based on real-time data. Government operations are spatial, whether for emergency response and management, fires, accidents, utilities, infrastructure, etc. Agriculture Food is a basic need for humans and animals. The agricultural industry uses GIS to help identify usable fertile land vs non-fertile land, weather hazards such as flooding or drought, and water supply. Development and Urban Planning Planners and developers rely on GIS to help them factor in several components when looking to build and develop an area. For example, they use GIS to find empty lots and determine resource and infrastructure availability and needs. GIS helps plan roads, housing, schools, businesses, government spaces, and hospitals. It also stores historical data, including ageing infrastructure, monuments, wetland areas, protected habitats, and species. Another important factor is soil mapping, identifying possible hazards such as flooding, volcanic activity or other environmental issues. Healthcare Today, healthcare sectors use GIS to track disease patterns, whether an outbreak, an epidemic, cancer hotspots, or people in a specific location suffering from an environmentally caused illness. GIS has a disease surveillance system that can conduct a spatial analysis to locate which area is high-risk, and the GIS software is better are validating data. Insurance Companies Mitigating and understanding risks ahead of time is essential to insurance companies, and they use GIS to ensure they are aware of possible dangers before giving you a quote.
Instruction: What is a mortgage? Response: A mortgage loan or simply mortgage, in civil law jurisdicions known also as a hypothec loan, is a loan used either by purchasers of real property to raise funds to buy real estate, or by existing property owners to raise funds for any purpose while putting a lien on the property being mortgaged. The loan is "secured" on the borrower's property through a process known as mortgage origination. This means that a legal mechanism is put into place which allows the lender to take possession and sell the secured property ("foreclosure" or "repossession") to pay off the loan in the event the borrower defaults on the loan or otherwise fails to abide by its terms. The word mortgage is derived from a Law French term used in Britain in the Middle Ages meaning "death pledge" and refers to the pledge ending (dying) when either the obligation is fulfilled or the property is taken through foreclosure. A mortgage can also be described as "a borrower giving consideration in the form of a collateral for a benefit (loan)".
