[ { "role": "system", "content": "You are a helpful assistant." }, { "role": "user", "content": "What is post-processing in cinematography?" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "In cinematography, “post-processing” means adjusting and altering the appearance of a film after filming has wrapped. It can involve enhancing and improving visual effects, as well as correcting the color, lighting or other elements of the image that were less than perfect. Post-processing is a complex and highly technical process that carefully manipulates film and digital media to make the final product as appealing and realistic as possible. It can also utilize new technologies that simply weren’t available during filming, such as supplemental and especially special effects." } ]

These risks have been reported on several sites that provide independent scientific information on health topics, such as webMD.com, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the NHS UK. Studies have also indicated that nicotine from cigarettes is addictive, and thus it is possible that some smokers will keep smoking and harm their health in the process. Because these factors are commonly understood and understood to be known risks, we can say that smoking cigarettes is bad for you." } ]

How can I make this transition easier?" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "It is definitely a challenging transition to make when moving from equal employment to a supervisory role. I would recommend assuming a supportive and open stance towards your colleagues, and maintaining a collaborative relationship with them. You can also take some time to reflect on your own personal leadership style, and how to best manage different types of people in the workplace. It is also important to maintain a proper degree of boundaries and respectful professionalism in interactions with your coworkers, to establish clear expectations for performance and assure appropriate workplace conduct. In addition, being open and honest about your own feelings and adjustments in this transition can help to establish trust and rapport within your team. Overall, maintaining an empathetic and supportive attitude, while also maintaining clarity and professionalism in your interpersonal communications will help to facilitate a smooth transition in this position." } ]
[ { "role": "system", "content": "You are a helpful assistant." }, { "role": "user", "content": "Does diabetes give you kidney disease?" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "Yes, type two diabetes causes the kidneys to slowly lose their ability to filter waste. This gradually causes the body to retain high levels of waste and salt, which can in turn raise blood pressure. Diabetes also tends to affect the feet, which means that kidney disease can sometimes have symptoms here as well, such as a tingling or numbness when walking, or pain or difficulty moving the feet. It’s very important to track blood sugar levels and to take care of your feet if you have type two diabetes. Diagnosing diabetes and getting treatment early on is the best way to slow the progression of kidney disease and prevent other diabetes complications. If you’re noticing any of the aforementioned symptoms in your feet, it’s a good idea to get it checked out by a doctor." } ]

This creates an interactive experience that is very different than the standard 3D cinematic form of film, with text and audio integrated into the unfolding world. Therefore, videogames are particularly difficult to adapt effectively into live action film forms, as it poses a challenge in translating the unique aesthetic, interactivity and narrative style of videogames into the standard cinematic format and conventions of successful movies." } ]

If you click on the ‘r’ in the top right hand corner, you should be able to look up any topic, so you can google “raspberries” and read up on how other people use them.

This can happen for a variety of reasons related to the combination of butter, marshmallow cream, sugar and chocolate chips, which require very precise timing and temperatures in order to successfully produce a fudge with a smooth consistency - the fudge should be smooth and glossy, with a consistency that is not dry, crumbly or gritty. The temperature of the mixture upon adding the marshmallow cream is most important, so it is key to remove it from heat immediately when it reaches the correct temperature. And the mixture needs to be stirred constantly and thoroughly until the temperature has returned to below 120 degrees Fahrenheit. If this mixture of ingredients is overheated, it can cause the fudge to lose moisture and become too dry and grainy. You can find a more detailed step-by-step recipe and explanation in my fudge recipe guide here: https://www.cooks.com.au/recipe/easy-fudge-recipe-3599\nYou may have found that most commercially produced fudge is made with a much higher proportion of sugar, and has more of a soft, creamy and fl" } ]

However, the waterpik can also cause adverse effects like tooth sensitivity and gum irritation, so users should start slow and use the settings and duration as recommended on the product instructions. Also frequent waterpik usage may need to be balanced with other types of oral hygiene, such as brushing and flossing. In general, however, using a waterpik in conjunction with regular oral hygiene can be highly effective and is considered safe for most users." } ]

These degrees generally take two years to complete and give you the technical knowledge you’ll need for entry-level tech jobs, and the skills you’ll need to succeed in them.

The CPH helps to do that - it’s basically a program that helps people reduce emissions, make them sustainable, so they don’t waste as much natural resources, and so on. In addition, if we all just stopped using fossil fuels, that would help reduce carbon emissions drastically. So the hope is that the CPH will lead to a better future for our species." } ]

I know that the gefilte fish that’s popular in Israeli cuisine uses ground carp (most carp in Israel is pike), and also different types of salt are used. So if you’d like to start with the Zaatar Crusted Gefilte Fish, I can tell you that it uses fresh carp, ground from a whole fish and cooked in gelatin. It uses tahini (or other thickeners such as mashed potato), ground nuts (most commonly peanuts), cinnamon, black pepper, and turmeric. The fish is steamed or boiled until very firm, and it’s made into an oval fish shape. I’d need to know if you want a hard or soft shape. The middle is hollow, and then the “fish” is filled with the tahini mixture." } ]

I think that it’s hard to compare bikes, since they’re meant for very different purposes. But I guess a 10 speed bike can go faster than a 3 speed bike if that’s what you’re looking for. You could tell me more about the specific requirements you have, or you could explain what you’re actually asking me.

The “eucalyptus” in that sentence is one of many common types of trees that are native to the country, and it’s very common for Australians to joke about how the trees are as common as the people, and in many ways define the culture." } ]

Some bisexual people just want to have fun for a bit and don’t want any serious relationships, so be sure to keep things casual at the beginning. Other bisexual people like the independence of dating two people, and for them it’s important to express this clearly. I find that the best way to figure out how a bisexual person wants to date is to ask them what they want from the relationship. If you do decide to pursue a relationship with them, just be aware that bisexual people often experience discrimination from both straight and gay people. Many cisgender bisexual people still want to be part of the queer community, and bi visibility is important for fighting bi erasure and invalidation by straight and gay people. Bisexual people are often accused of just being confused or immature, so communicating is important to support each other’s queer identities. It’s also important and healthy to spend time looking for bisexual friends, support networks, and local bisexual communities, as that can help provide support and include bi experiences in your life.

[ { "role": "system", "content": "You are a helpful assistant." }, { "role": "user", "content": "To what extent were the 1930s-40s fascist governments of Hungary, Romania, and Bulgaria independent of Germany? Did the Nazis install those regimes, or did they arise organically (perhaps influenced by the earlier Italian fascists)?" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "The fascist dictatorships of Hungary, Romania, and Bulgaria were officially allied in the Axis powers, and under the powerful guidance and often direct rule of Nazi Germany. The governments in all three countries were very aggressive and repressive, and the region became a central battlefield in the Second World War. While it is true that pre-existing nationalist and autocratic authoritarian trends and movements strongly influenced the historical development and flourishing of these regimes, the Axis powers were profoundly and directly involved in their formation and development.\n\nThere were also significant differences among the various fascist governments in the region, and the degree of independence that they enjoyed varied substantially. In Hungary and Romania for example, the institutions of the traditional state and conservative ruling elites in a limited way maintained their power and autonomy, at least initially. The democratic left was violently suppressed, and these fascist coups largely represented a fundamental sweeping-away of existing political structures and figures in favor of a powerful, violent nationalist mobilization. The extent to which these regimes were nominally “independent” of the Axis powers was limited, as they were directly incorporated into the Axis alliance, reliant upon German military resources, and engaged in many fascist ideological and political initiatives in tandem.\n\nIn the earlier period of these countries’ fascist dictatorships, from 1935-39, there was significant independent sovereignty in foreign policy and domestic administration among the Balkan fascist states, though with ever-increasing levels of state consolidation, cooperation, and coordination with German ruling figures and interests. This autonomy gradually faded as Italy and Germany consolidated their control over Yugoslavia and Greece and subsequently incorporated these countries into the Axis. Germany increasingly became the predominant influence, and Hungarian and Romanian leaders including Hungary’s dictator, Regent Miklos Horthy, and Romania’s dictator, Marshal Ion Antonescu, became dependent upon German resources and increasingly subordinated their policies to those of the Nazi regime. In Bulgaria, which never joined the Axis powers, the overtly pro-Nazi dictatorship under General Nazi dictatorate under General Iliya Svetoslav of Bulgaria was installed and controlled as a client state of Germany, even as Germany restricted Bulgarian territorial ambitions and support for fascist movements in neighboring Greece and Yugoslavia.\n\nOverall, the rise of fascism in the countries of eastern Europe was an extension and intensification of authoritarian and extreme nationalist movements rooting back as far as the early 1920s, and often beyond into the first years of the twentieth century. Though the Italian forms of fascism that emerged in the 1930s profoundly influenced the ideologies, styles, and rhetoric of these international fascist states, and whose leaders were often admirers and aspiring emulators of Mussolini, there is little doubt that the embrace and expansion of fascist power was directly promoted, encouraged, and supported by Nazi Germany, whose rapidly expanding political and military dominance in Europe was ultimately crucial to the victory of the fascist powers." } ]
[ { "role": "system", "content": "You are a helpful assistant." }, { "role": "user", "content": "Why do people believe in divine beings such as angels?" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "Religion and spirituality serve a practical purpose for many people by providing a sense of meaning and fulfillment in life. In many religions, people believe that divine beings such as angels, gods, and ghosts are actively involved in human life. This belief can serve to help people cope with some of the struggles and uncertainties that are inherent in everyday life.\n\nFor instance, supernatural beliefs can help people find sense and meaning in negative life events that might otherwise seem like pointless tragedies, such as the death of a loved one. Belief in divine beings can also provide people with the sense of comfort and guidance that they need from a spiritual or religious perspective. Believing that such beings exist can also provide some people with a sense of certainty that the world operates according to certain predictable or even justifiable rules.\n\nHowever, supernatural beliefs are not often supported by scientific evidence, and they may not be entirely realistic. Therefore, supernatural beliefs like those involving divine beings may not be as satisfying as people think they are. Scientific skepticism is also often a useful trait that helps people to make better-informed decisions about what in life is real." } ]

Well the main idea is that a pregnancy test measures the level of a hormone called human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in the urine. This hormone is only produced by the placenta in a pregnant woman, so the level of hCG in the urine is directly correlated to the presence of a pregnancy. There are a variety of different chemical and electronic approaches used to measure this hormone in the urine, but the general principle is the same.

This condition is primarily caused by a combination of genetic and hormonal factors, including a sensitivity to the sex hormone testosterone. This hormonal sensitivity is often associated with aging and aging-related declining testosterone production, although it can also develop at a younger age. Androgenetic alopecia gradually leads to hair loss from the scalp, usually beginning at the temples and crown and then progressing backwards towards the nape of the neck. It is generally regarded as a completely unavoidable and irreversible condition, although some evidence suggests that hair loss may be slowed with the use of corticosteroid medications." } ]

Directed by Gore Verbinski.\n- The Babadook (2014) - a deeply disturbing psychological horror film about a mother struggling to cope with the disturbing behaviors of her son, who is possessed by a terrifying monster.\n- The Blair Witch Project (1999) - this low-budget horror film pioneered the \"found footage\" subgenre, with two student filmmakers becoming hopelessly lost in the woods while searching for a mythical witch.
