Chocolate is a usually sweet, brown food preparation of roasted and ground cacao seeds that is made in the form of a liquid, paste, or in a block, or used as a flavoring ingredient in other foods. The earliest evidence of use traces to the Olmecs (Mexico), with evidence of chocolate beverages dating to 1900 BC.

A vampire is a being from folklore that subsists by feeding on the vital force (generally in the form of blood) of the living. In European folklore, vampires were undead beings that often visited loved ones and caused mischief or deaths in the neighborhoods they inhabited while they were alive. They wore shrouds and were often described as bloated and of ruddy or dark countenance, markedly different from today's gaunt, pale vampire which dates from the early 19th century.

Cat food
Cat food is food for consumption by cats. Cats have specific requirements for their dietary nutrients. Certain nutrients, including many vitamins and amino acids, are degraded by the temperatures, pressures and chemical treatments used during manufacture, and hence must be added after manufacture to avoid nutritional deficiency. The amino acid taurine, for example, which is found in meat, is degraded during processing, so synthetic taurine is normally added afterwards. Long-term taurine deficiency may result in retinal degeneration, loss of vision, and

The formation of freckles is caused by exposure to sunlight. The exposure to UV-B radiation activates melanocytes to increase melanin production, which can cause freckles to become darker and more visible.

The sky and the deep sea are not really blue! They only appear that way because of an optical effect.
what optical effect is that?
|
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.

Green
Green is the color between blue and yellow on the visible spectrum. It is evoked by light which has a dominant wavelength of roughly 495570 nm. In subtractive color systems, used in painting and color printing, it is created by a combination of yellow and blue, or yellow and cyan; in the RGB color model, used on television and computer screens, it is one of the additive primary colors, along with red and blue, which are mixed in different combinations to create all other colors.

Silent guitar
A silent guitar is a type of guitar with a solid or chambered body that converts the vibration of the strings into electric current using a piezoelectric pickup. The body of the guitar does not amplify the vibration of the strings into audible sound. Thanks to this, musicians can practice with headphones without disturbing people around them, or obtain an acoustic tone under heavy amplification without feedback. Las Vegas Academy has used silent guitars in a classroom setting, with students wearing headphones to hear their instrument's sound.

Meat
Meat is animal flesh that is eaten as food. Humans have hunted and killed animals for meat since prehistoric times. The advent of civilization allowed the domestication of animals such as chickens, sheep, rabbits, pigs and cattle. This eventually led to their use in meat production on an industrial scale with the aid of slaughterhouses.
Meat is mainly composed of water, protein, and fat. It is edible raw, but is normally eaten after it has been cooked and seasoned or processed in a variety of ways

Asthma
Asthma is a common long-term inflammatory disease of the airways of the lungs. It is characterized by variable and recurring symptoms, reversible airflow obstruction, and easily triggered bronchospasms. Symptoms include episodes of wheezing, coughing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath. These may occur a few times a day or a few times per week. Depending on the person, they may become worse at night or with exercise.
Asthma is thought to be caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Environmental factors

Metered-dose inhaler
A metered-dose inhaler (MDI) is a device that delivers a specific amount of medication to the lungs, in the form of a short burst of aerosolized medicine that is usually self-administered by the patient via inhalation. It is the most commonly used delivery system for treating asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and other respiratory diseases. The medication in a metered dose inhaler is most commonly a bronchodilator, corticosteroid or a combination of both for the treatment of asthma and COPD.

Yeah I would as well. I read not long ago how some vegans dont use products like beeswax or leather or silk and I just dont understand that.

Jainism
Jainism (), traditionally known as Jain Dharma is an ancient Indian religion.

Jainism is a transtheistic religion, and Jains trace their spiritual ideas and history through a succession of twenty-four victorious saviours and teachers known as "tirthankaras", with the first being Rishabhanatha

No I don't I've dedicated all my creative energy to learning about the guitar. Mine projects sound acoustically and is made of wood. Although I have at times played an electric guitar with an amplifier.
That is cool! Which do you life better, acoustic or electric?
Definitely acoustic. I find it's very nice to play a traditional style instrument. It reminds me of the older guitars throughout history that were made of wood and the string made of gut. Guitars belong to a family of instruments called chordophones.
Acoustic guitars definitely have a more soothing traditional sound to them as well as comforting. I do not know much about the family of instruments but what others are included in chordophones?
|
String instrument
String instruments, stringed instruments, or chordophones are musical instruments that produce sound from vibrating strings when the performer plays or sounds the strings in some manner.
Musicians play some string instruments by plucking the strings with their fingers or a plectrum—and others by hitting the strings with a light wooden hammer or by rubbing the strings with a bow. In some keyboard instruments, such as the harpsichord, the musician presses a key that plucks the string.
With bowed instruments, the player pulls a rosined horsehair

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.

Animal shelter
An animal shelter or pound is a place where stray, lost, abandoned or surrendered animals, mostly dogs and cats, and sometimes sick or wounded wildlife are kept and rehabilitated. While no-kill shelters exist, it is sometimes policy to euthanize sick animals, and any animal that is not claimed quickly enough by a previous or new owner. In Europe, of 30 countries included in a survey, all but four (Czech Republic, Germany, Greece, and Italy) permitted the killing of healthy stray

I love to watch people dancing. I don't have a specific type I like most though. Not good at it myself, what about you?
I love to dance! I am active in theatrical dance, which is sometimes called concert dance. I perform on a stage a few times per month.
That must be fun and somewhat athletic. Is it hard to do theatrical dancing?
It can be difficult to learn the choreography, but once we practice the repertoire of movements, it becomes easy! It's a rush to perform onstage!
I used to sing in front of people but starting getting too much stage fright to continue.
Yes, it can be scary. There are other activities that have dance-like properties. You can try martial arts, synchronized swimming or gymnastics!
That's cool, never thought of them being similar. Do you know a lot about dance in general?

Most modern factories have large warehouses or warehouse-like facilities that contain heavy equipment used for assembly line production. Large factories tend to be located with access to multiple modes of transportation, with some having rail, highway and water loading and unloading facilities.
Factories may either make discrete products or some type of material continuously produced such as chemicals, pulp and paper, or refined oil products. Factories manufacturing chemicals are often called "plants" and may have most of their equipment – tanks, pressure vessels

Factories arose with the introduction of machinery during the Industrial Revolution when the capital and space requirements became too great for cottage industry or workshops.

My husband loves Science fiction shows. Do you watch them much?
I love science fiction shows and all things sci-fi. Unlike fantasy, it avoids the supernatural. What shows does he enjoy?
Star Trek and Battle star Gallactica, not to mention Star Gate.
I grew up watching Star Gate. I felt a special connection to it because it was filmed around Vancouver, British Columbia,Canada, where my family has a cabin.
I bet that is a beautiful area to live in. I've seen some of Star Gate, but I didn't realize that is what it was filmed.
I think what I enjoy most about sci-fi is that it is based on imaginative concepts. Potential future science is fascinating to me.
I think my husband is fascinated by the same types of things. Me, not so much.
That's totally understandable. Science fiction used be more grounded in real world science, but now its more imaginative and hard to define.
Yeah. I can see how it changed. I will admit to loving the movie "Independence Day," though.

I really love wearing thigh high boots. They look nice in a skirt since they come above the knee.
I think those boots look attractive on women. I wear cowboy boots on occasion.
My boots are made of real leather, I don't really like the look of them when they are made from vinyl or latex.
I would imagine they feel better than synthetic material. I also have leather boots. I am looking at getting some snakeskin ones soon.

. Like other boots, they can also have platform soles.
Thigh boots are considered by many to be erotic or kinky. They are used as fetish clothing in boot fetishism and shoe fetishism. Cheaper thigh boots are often worn by prostitutes and professional dominatrices, so many people consider them icons of such trades. Because of the latter, they are often associated with sadomasochism. Nevertheless, they are frequently sold by couture designers, perhaps because of the implied eroticism.
