Hi! I just moved to Virginia. Do you have any suggestions for sightseeing?
I hear that they Blue Ridge Mountains and Chesapeake Bay are both worth seeing - they are both in Virginia right?
Yes, they are! Great ideas. Have you ever visited the Blue Ridge Mountains?
No I haven't but would love to. I think that the Blue Ridge Tunnel would be an amazing way to see them.
I am terribly afraid of heights, so the thought of a mountain is a little scary to me.

Recycling
Recycling is the process of converting waste materials into new materials and objects. It is an alternative to "conventional" waste disposal that can save material and help lower greenhouse gas emissions. Recycling can prevent the waste of potentially useful materials and reduce the consumption of fresh raw materials, thereby reducing: energy usage, air pollution (from incineration), and water pollution (from landfilling).

Human height
Human height or stature is the distance from the bottom of the feet to the top of the head in a human body, standing erect. It is measured using a stadiometer, usually in centimetres when using the metric system, or feet and inches when using the imperial system.
A particular genetic profile in men called Y haplotype I-M170 is correlated with height. Ecological data shows that as the frequency of this genetic profile increases in the population, the average male height in a country also increases.

Culture of Jamaica
Jamaican culture consists of the religion, norms, values, and lifestyle that define the people of Jamaica. The culture is mixed, with an ethnically diverse society, stemming from a history of inhabitants beginning with the original Taino people. The Spaniards originally brought slavery to Jamaica. Then they were overthrown by the English. Jamaica later gained emancipation on August 1, 1838, and independence from the British on August 6, 1962. Black slaves became the dominant cultural force as they suffered and resisted the harsh conditions

Reggae in Australia
Reggae is a music genre that originated in Jamaica in the late 1960s. Australia has several bands and sound systems that play reggae music in a style faithful to its expression in Jamaica. Australia has a relatively small Jamaican community, but reggae penetrated local consciousness via the popularity of reggae among the non-Jamaican population of England in the 1960s and 1970s. Many indigenous musicians have embraced reggae, both for its musical qualities and its ethos of resistance. Examples include No Fixed Address and Coloured Stone.

multilingualism is the use of more than one language
How many languages can a person learn?
No limit. multilingual speakers out number monolingual speakers in the world
Really! That is surprising to me! I s it best to learn many languages when young?
multilingualism is becoming a social phenomenon governed by the need of globalization
That is logical. There are many languages that are similar, right?

People who know more than one language have been reported to be more adept at language learning compared to monolinguals.
Multilingualism in computing can be considered part of a continuum between internationalization and localization. Due to the status of English in computing, software development nearly always uses it (but see also Non-English-based programming languages). Some commercial software is initially available in an English version, and multilingual versions, if any, may be produced as alternative options based on the English original.

Blue
Blue is one of the three primary colours of pigments in painting and traditional colour theory, as well as in the RGB colour model. It lies between violet and green on the spectrum of visible light. The eye perceives blue when observing light with a dominant wavelength between approximately 450 and 495 nanometres. Most blues contain a slight mixture of other colours; azure contains some green, while ultramarine contains some violet. The clear daytime sky and the deep sea appear blue because of an optical effect known as Rayleigh scattering.

Hi, I love sushi. there is a great place where I live that makes great sushi
I'm vegetarian, which rules out the raw seafood! But I have had sushi with vegetables, which was quite good. I love the wasabi that comes with it!
That stuff is sometimes too hot for me. I like the flavor of the rice. There are a lot of different styles and presentations vary a lot too,
I like that it can be prepared with white rice or brown rice, depending on its type. The other thing I love is the pickled ginger.
I like the Daikon radishes too. It is sometimes confused with sashimi which is just thin sliced raw fish with optional serving of rice.

Brown rice
Brown rice is a whole-grain rice with the inedible outer hull removed, white rice is the same grain with the hull, bran layer and cereal germ removed. Red rice, gold rice, and black rice (also called purple rice) are all whole rices, but with differently pigmented outer layers.
Any type of rice may be eaten whole. Whole rice has a mild nutty flavour and is chewier.

Sushi
Sushi is traditionally made with medium-grain white rice, though it can be prepared with brown rice or short-grain rice.

It is often served with pickled ginger ("gari"), wasabi, and soy sauce. Daikon radish or pickled daikon ("takuan") are popular garnishes for the dish.

Desert
A desert is a barren area of landscape where little precipitation occurs and, consequently, living conditions are hostile for plant and animal life. The lack of vegetation exposes the unprotected surface of the ground to the processes of denudation. About one-third of the land surface of the world is arid or semi-arid. This includes much of the polar regions where little precipitation occurs and which are sometimes called polar deserts or "cold deserts". Deserts can be classified by the amount of precipitation that falls, by

I have never heard of that what are the symptoms apart from bad reactions to cats
For men, as well as a lot of people, it is coughing, itching, watering eyes, and sneezing.
When was this first noticed in history?

Those with severe, life-threatening cat allergies face tremendous challenges due to lack of public awareness about anaphylactic cat allergies, and do not enjoy the same conscientiousness from the public as those with a food allergy might, due to widespread knowledge of allergies to allergens such as nuts or dairy.

Five cat allergens have been described in medical literature. The two major allergens are Fel d 1 (a secretoglobin) and

Allergy to cats
Cat allergy in humans is an allergic reaction to one or more allergens produced by cats. The most common of these allergens are the glycoprotein Fel d 1, secreted by the cat's sebaceous glands and Fel d 4, which is expressed in saliva. An allergic reaction is a histamine reaction that is usually characterized by coughing, wheezing, chest tightening, itching, nasal congestion, rash, watering eyes, sneezing, chapped lips, and similar symptoms. In some severe cases, reactions may progress rapidly to

I think monkey's are one of the funniest animals! Do you like monkeys?
I do like monkey's! I like how they are mostly active during the day!
We see them at the zoo regularly. They are really active, except when it's hot out!
I also love how intelligent they are. It's amazing!
They sure seem smart. I wonder what their average IQ level is?
That's a good question. The Old World monkeys have been around for like 25 million years though so hopefully smart!
They should have learned something by now! Hahaha!
Surely haha! New World Monkeys aren't as intelligent I bet because they haven't been around that long.
New World and Old World monkeys - what's the difference, besides age?

Catarrhini.
Simians and tarsiers emerged within haplorrhines some 60 million years ago. New World monkeys and catarrhine monkeys emerged within the simians some 35 million years ago. Old World monkeys and Hominoidea emerged within the catarrhine monkeys some 25 million years ago. Extinct basal simians such as "Aegyptopithecus" or "Parapithecus" [35-32 million years ago], eosimiidea and sometimes even the Catarrhini group are also considered monkeys by primatologists.
Lemurs, lorises, and galagos are not monkeys; instead they are strepsirrhine primates. Like

I enjoy knitting sometimes.

Knitting
Knitting is a method by which yarn is manipulated to create a textile or fabric, often used in many types of garments.
Knitting creates multiple loops of yarn, called stitches, in a line or tube. Knitting has multiple active stitches on the needle at one time. Knitted fabric consists of a number of consecutive rows of intermeshing of loops. As each row progresses, a newly created loop is pulled through one or more loops from the prior row, placed on the gaining needle, and the loops from

The club meets every week and takes the same format as many other knitting clubs, knitting groups and knitting circles as a place for knitters and crocheters to come together socially to share and enjoy the craft. Although using their own name, the I Knit London knitting club is one of the many similar groups including Stitch 'n Bitch, Knit & Natter and Knit

Red hair is pretty rare. Is your hair naturally red?
Its normal light brown but I like to die it in the summer time. I think it looks really good on me.

by high levels of the reddish pigment pheomelanin and relatively low levels of the dark pigment eumelanin, it is associated with fair skin color, lighter eye color, freckles, and sensitivity to ultraviolet light.
Cultural reactions to red hair have varied from ridicule to admiration with many common stereotypes in existence regarding redheads. The term redhead has been in use since at least 1510.

Yea carrie underwood is not too old, only born 1983
That isn't too bad, yeah. She is probably still young enough to have a lively career.

The song is seen as a female take on the bro-country genre. According to Lambert, when she heard "Somethin’ Bad", "the song just popped," and it "really struck a chord." Lambert said she had wanted to do a duet with Carrie Underwood, and that "It's been too long since two girls in our genre have come together like that,

I love the monkey. I just don't know which one I enjoy most.
I really love the tailless monkey. The are usually referred to as "apes".
I never thought of them as a tailless monkey. Is that what ape means?
Not necessarily, there are other monkeys that don't have tails but aren't considered apes. The can be distiguished by the motions of the joints in their shoulders.
How big is the tallest monkey?
I'm not entirely sure on that. But I do know that gorillas weigh more than a lot of other species of monkeys.
Would you know how much they weigh?

Gorilla
Gorillas are ground-dwelling, predominantly herbivorous apes that inhabit the forests of central Sub-Saharan Africa. The genus Gorilla is divided into two species: the eastern gorillas and the western gorillas (both critically endangered), and either four or five subspecies. They are the largest living primates. The DNA of gorillas is highly similar to that of humans, from 95 to 99% depending on what is included, and they are the next closest living relatives to humans after the chimpanzees and bonobos.

Modern biologists and primatologists use monophyletic groups for taxonomic classification; that is, they use only those groups that include all descendants of a common ancestor. The

I'm fascinated by lizards.
They are definitely interesting! There are over 6000 species of lizards.
I wonder if they're broken down into sub-species.
I'm sure they are. Especially with all the different kinds of lizards. Some have 4 legs, some have none and have snake-like bodies.
I know a lot of them are green, or brown, but there are probably other colors as well.
For sure. They have a lot of different adaptations. Some even have camouflage.
Are any of them carnivores, do you think?

legless, and have long snake-like bodies. Some such as the forest-dwelling "Draco" lizards are able to glide. They are often territorial, the males fighting off other males and signalling, often with brightly colours, to attract mates and to intimidate rivals. Lizards are mainly carnivorous, often being sit-and-wait predators; many smaller species eat insects, while the Komodo eats mammals as big as water buffalo.
Lizards make use of a variety of antipredator adaptations, including venom, camouflage,

Skink
Skinks are lizards belonging to the family Scincidae and the infraorder Scincomorpha. With more than 1,500 described species, the Scincidae are one of the most diverse families of lizards. Common skinks include many different kinds such as the slender skink, snake-eyed skink and the skinks of Plestiodon are among the common skinks.
Description.
Skinks look like true lizards, but most species have no pronounced neck, and their legs are relatively small; several genera (e.g., "Typhlosaurus") have no limbs at all

Poodle
Poodles are a group of formal dog breeds, the Standard Poodle, Miniature Poodle and Toy Poodle. The origin of the breed is still discussed, with a prominent dispute over whether the poodle descends from Germany as a type of water dog, or from the French Barbet.
Ranked second most intelligent dog breed just behind the Border Collie, the poodle is skillful in many dog sports and activities, including agility, obedience, tracking to herding, circus performers and assistance dogs. Poodles have taken top honors in many

Do you play the Piano? I'm self-taught, learned while working nights at a hotel on the lobby piano..
I wish I could play the piano, it is so beautiful! Has it been around for long?
They were invented in Italy in1700 so in the big picture no. No better time to learn then now.
That seems like a long time haha, but I guess not in the span of all things. Is it hard to learn
The earth is 4.5 billion years old so it's not that old. The word "piano" is a shortened form of "pianoforte" so it still hold's some of it's original flavor.
Who came up with the piano

Piano
The piano is an acoustic, stringed musical instrument invented in Italy by Bartolomeo Cristofori around the year 1700 (the exact year is uncertain), in which the strings are struck by hammers. It is played using a keyboard, which is a row of keys (small levers) that the performer presses down or strikes with the fingers and thumbs of both hands to cause the hammers to strike the strings.

Then came Ben Johnston. I knocked at his studio door. I went in. There was silence everywhere. He was in his rocking chair, staring out the window. I showed Ben the score I was working on.
