Therefore, make sure that you do not provide them more than 2 times a day.\nAnother thing to consider is the amount of food that your pet should eat per day. You should also ensure that your Conure has enough water. This is because their body can only digest so much food at a time and they might get dehydrated.\nHow often you should check on your pet is important because healthy and happy animals have good health.

As a player it feels like a different piece. You hear all these different textures and different sounds.\nSL: It was so difficult to play with clarinets of the time. There are passages in the work that were changed with Debussy's permission, changes that exist in most versions even now.\nRM: But he wanted to keep his real manuscript – perhaps for the future, so it could be played the way he composed it.\nSL: Today, Morales plays the work according to the original manuscript, with a clarinet he developed himself.\nOn Sunday, August 16, 2015 at 1 pm, Ricardo Morales plays Debussy's Rhapsody No. 1 for Clarinet and Orchestra with The Philadelphia Orchestra on WRTI, a re-broadcast from January, 2015.\nRelated Content\nTwo French composers, who wrote and circulated in the same artistic circles, are still being explored and considered together today. Now, in advance of this week's concert broadcast of The Philadelphia Orchestra on WRTI, Susan Lewis looks at two masterworks that conjure imagery – one on the land, and one on the sea.\nSome people are intimidated by the vastness of classical music. And while the prospect of more than 1,000 years of hits to consider may be daunting, just think instead of how many musical journeys of discovery can be made.\nIn the western suburbs of Paris 150 years ago today, a boy was born to an unassuming couple, proprietors of a china shop who had no great taste for music. But that little boy felt otherwise, and grew up to write music of bold color, timbre and harmonic daring.\nClaude Debussy ignored the old rules about how to write music and in the process created a brave new world of sonic possibilities.<|memory_end|>\n\nQuestion: When did Debussy orchestrate the piece?", "role": "user" } ]

The DMG File format contains data in the form of blocks which are often secured using encryption methods or are compressed using compression algorithms. DMG files are used for installing tools and softwares into the Mac OS operating system. The file is downloaded from the internet from the software manufacturer's website and upon mounting the DMG file, a virtual disk is generated from where the user can either copy the application to the applications folder or run an installation script depending on the type of installation.\nThe newer disk image file was used in place of the original IMG or image file which was used in earlier versions of mac that are classic mac operating systems. Disk Image Files are only meant to be used in Mac based systems and not on the Windows operating systems. However, using some image softwares like Daemon tools on windows, we can mount disk images of DMG type on windows too. Some tools can also convert DMG Files to windows-recognizable image files like .ISO files.\nBenefits of DMG Disk Image format\nDMG Images are read only which ensures that the files inside the installer are not altered with. This makes the software supplied inside the dmg secure from viruses as no one can alter the file after it is created.\nInstead of sending more than one file over the internet, the creators have to send a single dmg disk image which contains all the required installation files of the software that can be simply dragged and dropped into the applications folder of Mac to install them.\nDMG files can be customized according to the manufacturer's wish so that the installers look pleasing when people download the files for installing software.\nDisk images can be mounted on a computer just like a physical cd. This is a good thing as people can save a copy of the DMG file as a backup which can be used later to restore the previous state of the files.\nWhat is ISO File\nAn ISO file stands for International Organization for Standardization file format which specified ISO as the standard file format for disk image files in Windows. It is a file which can be used to mount disk image files in Windows operating systems. It can be used to emulate a CD, DVD or any other disk drive in Windows virtually.\nIt is generally used to hold disk images of operating systems like linux which can be burned into a disk or a USB drive. It is also used to send installation files of Windows softwares through the internet but they are usually sent through a binary package with an executable or an msi installer.\nBasically ISO files are an image of something so you could have an image of a computer software package that would be all the files that existed on that computer software in one finite image.

Her sister ships managed to pick up some of these sailors but some were swept away as the remaining flotilla swerved to avoid torpedos.\nThe German fleet soon ceased fire – assuming HMS Worcester was about to sink – and moved on through the Channel.

Somehow she limped back to Harwich.\n26 men had been killed or fatally wounded and 45 were injured. HMS Worcester was able to be repaired and was pressed back into service. She was again badly damaged after detonating a mine in the North Sea in December 1943. This time she was considered too damaged to repair. Her final days of the war were spent as an accommodation ship and then she was broken up in February 1947.\nIn 1941-42, the people of Great Britain were asked to invest in war savings equivalent to the cost of building a new Navy vessel through an initiative called Warship Weeks.

The City then formally adopted HMS Worcester and its crew.

The Citys civic collection also includes the ship's bell.\nThe V&W Destroyer Association was a group of those who served on these ships.

For centuries, philosophers have taken this highly developed sense of self in humans to mean that intelligence does not exist at all in other animals.

[ { "content": "Cravings are completely normal during pregnancy, and most women find them rather satisfying. There are no proper theories to explain why women get pregnancy cravings, but gynecologists have linked it to taste buds and body demands. Comfort eating is a term mostly used to explain pregnancy cravings.\nIt is totally okay to crave starchy carbohydrates, sweets, fast foods, or regular pizza because they can be replaced with healthier alternatives. However, craving for substances like dirt, clay, burnt matches, stones, cornstarch, soap, or ice are termed Pica and are unsafe for consumption. But what really happens when you ingest them? Find out why below.\nWhat Your Body Requires\nThere is really no theory to explain why women have pregnancy cravings. But sometimes, it is related to the nutritional deficiency of some foods. Other theories explain that cravings are due to a lack of something the body needs and is demanding. Some pregnant women crave salty, sugary, hot, and sour foods like unripe mangoes. A craving for chocolate ice cream could be the body needing more calcium, cholesterol, or carbohydrates, and eggs and cheese craving could lack enough protein in the body. In other words, the body might not need the actual food sweetness instead of the nutritional contents.\nCan Cravings During Pregnancy Be Harmful?\nAlthough certain pregnancy cravings may seem weird, they don't always pose a threat to your baby; not all cravings are dangerous enough to harm you. There are most cases where women start to crave a non-food item (something that isn't food). This condition is referred to as \"Pica.\" It is a clause used to describe an occurrence when someone has an enormous urge to consume something that is not edible and should not be eaten because it could harm both the mother and her baby.\nStrange things pregnant women find themselves craving include crayons, laundry starch, cigarettes, onions, icing, and tomatoes, or dirt. Obviously, these items are not edible, and some shouldn't be consumed alone, but there is a profuse and increased urge to eat them. The urge can be really high, causing some women to engage in harmful eating practices by consuming non-food items that can endanger their baby's health.\nHow Do Taste Buds Affect Cravings During Pregnancy?\nGynecologists think women's cravings and how they decode their needs may be closely related to their taste buds. As pregnancy proceeds, hormone levels drastically increase, altering a woman's sensory nerves. These hormonal changes affect her sense of smell. So they often get disturbed by various flavors, finding them either appealing or offensive. These smells cause food aversion in pregnancy, making them nauseous. Most times, morning sickness, dizziness, and vomiting may be triggered.\nWhat Period Will Pregnancy Craving Begin?\nSurprisingly, not all women experience pregnancy cravings. Pregnancy cravings start at different stages in different expectant mothers. Some begin to see these symptoms during their first trimester, which is the initial three months, and then become more pronounced just at the second trimester's peak, about three days to the third.\n\nQuestion: Are pregnancy cravings a common occurrence?", "role": "user" } ]

In the descriptions below, the word digit can be replaced 4 bit ripple adder vhdl code for alu bit when referring to binary addition of 2.\nThe addition of two 1-digit inputs A and B is said to generate if the addition will always carry, regardless of whether there is an input-carry equivalently, regardless of whether any less significant digits in the sum carry. The addition of two 1-digit inputs A and B is said to propagate if the addition will carry whenever there is an input carry equivalently, when the next less significant digit in the sum carries. Note that propagate and generate are defined with respect to a single digit of addition and do not depend on any other digits in the sum.<|memory_end|>\n\nQuestion: What type of adder is preferable for very large numbers?", "role": "user" } ]

Achieving an interaction between a single photon and a single atom is a huge challenge due to the tiny size of the atom. However, sending the photon past the atom several times by means of mirrors significantly increases the probability of an interaction.\nIn order to generate photons, the researchers use artificial atoms, known as quantum dots. These semiconductor structures consist of an accumulation of tens of thousands of atoms, but behave much like a single atom: when they are optically excited, their energy state changes and they emit a photon.\n\"However, they have the technological advantage that they can be embedded in a semiconductor chip,\" says Dr. Daniel Najer, who conducted the experiment at the Department of Physics at the University of Basel.\nSystem of quantum dot and microcavity\nNormally, these light particles fly off in all directions like a light bulb. For their experiment, however, the researchers positioned the quantum dot in a cavity with reflective walls. The curved mirrors reflect the emitted photon back and forth up to 10,000 times, causing an interaction between light and matter.\nMeasurements show that a single photon is emitted and absorbed up to 10 times by the quantum dot. At the quantum level, the photon is transformed into a higher energy state of the artificial atom, at which point a new photon is created. And this happens very quickly, which is very desirable in terms of quantum technological applications: one cycle lasts just 200 picoseconds.\nThe conversion of an energy quantum from a quantum dot to a photon and back again is theoretically well supported, but \"nobody has ever observed these oscillations so clearly before,\" says Professor Richard J. Warburton from the Department of Physics at the University of Basel.\nSerial interaction of light and matter\nThe successful experiment is particularly significant because there are no direct photon-photon interactions in nature. However, a controlled interaction is required for use in quantum information processing.\nBy transforming light into matter according to the laws of quantum physics, an interaction between individual photons becomes indirectly possible – namely, via the detour of an entanglement between a photon and a single electron spin trapped in the quantum dot. If several such photons are involved, quantum gates can be created through entangled photons. This is a vital step in the generation of photonic qubits, which can store information by means of the quantum state of light particles and transmit them over long distances.\nInternational collaboration\nThe experiment takes place in the optical frequency range and places high technical demands on the size of the cavity, which must be adapted to the wavelength, and the reflectivity of the mirrors, so that the photon remains in the cavity for as long as possible.\n\nQuestion: What is the next step in the generation of photonic qubits after creating quantum gates through entangled photons?", "role": "user" } ]

[ { "content": "Rectal Cancer Treatment in Bangalore\nWhat is Rectal Cancer?\nCancer starts when cells in the body start to grow out of control. Rectal cancer is a cancer that starts in the colon or the rectum. This cancer can also be named as colon cancer, depending on where they start. Most colorectal cancers start as a growth on the inner lining of the colon or rectum. These growths are called polyps.\nHow rectal cancer spreads?\nIf cancer forms in a polyp, it can grow into the wall of the colon or rectum over time. The wall of the colon and rectum is made up of many layers. Rectal cancer starts in the innermost layer (the mucosa) and can grow outward through some or all of the other layers. The stage (extent of spread) of a colorectal cancer depends on how deeply it grows into the wall and if it has spread outside the colon or rectum. Bowel cancer may also be called colon cancer or rectal cancer, depending on where the cancer is located and begins.\nStaging is a way of describing where the cancer is located, if or where it has spread, and whether it is affecting other parts of the body. Knowing the stage helps to decide what kind of treatment is best and can help predict a patient's prognosis, which is the chance of recovery. There are different stage descriptions for different types of cancer.\nThe TNM system is used to stage rectal cancer, and it helps understand what your cancer looks like. The TNM stands for:\nThe extent (size) of the tumor (T): How far has the cancer grown into the wall of the colon or rectum?\nThe spread to nearby lymph nodes (N): Has the cancer spread to nearby lymph nodes?\nThe spread (metastasis) to distant sites (M): Has the cancer spread to distant lymph nodes or distant organs such as the liver or lungs?\nWe provide comprehensive treatment for rectal cancer in Bangalore.\nThere are things you can do to help lower your risk.\n1\nEat lots of vegetables, fruits, and whole grains.\n2\nGet regular exercise: If you are not physically active, you may have a greater chance of developing rectal cancer. Increasing your activity may help reduce your risk.\n3\nMaintain a healthy weight: Being overweight or obese increases your risk of getting rectal cancer. If you are at a healthy weight, work to maintain your weight by combining a healthy diet with daily exercise.\n4\nLimit alcohol. Alcohol use has been linked with a higher risk of colorectal cancer.\n5\nDon't smoke: Long-term smokers are more likely than non-smokers to develop rectal cancer.\n\"CAN-C: Leading centre for rectal cancer treatment in Bangalore.\"\nMake An Appointment Today\nHow Rectal Cancer is treated?\nThe treatments for rectal cancer depend on the stage at which the cancer has been diagnosed, as well as the general health of the individual. If the cancer is diagnosed very early then surgery may be all that is required.

Logically, looking just like a Barbie doll is very damaging to the human body, with being extremely underweight and having completely unrealistic anatomic expectations.
