It works by opening the airways, because the heat relaxes the muscles in the chest, making it easier to breathe. You can also do this by sitting in a steam room, or a sauna, but it can get quite hot, so you might want to start with a gentle, low-heat shower. You can also buy a special steam cleaner that attaches to your shower head.

Currently the national maximum speed limit in the United States is set by federal law at 70 miles per hour. Areas where local regulations of speed limits may vary include residential areas with school zones, state and federal scenic highways, limited-access highways with more than four lanes, and urban or rural areas set in rural or sparsely-populated areas. State or local speed limits may also vary by vehicle type, such as larger or high-speed vehicles, and may require or permit certain vehicles to be restricted to lower-speed limits due to age, physical disability, vehicle characteristics, or annual or decennial registration period." } ]

Your cat may have been in a shelter for a long time, which is enough to disrupt toilet training.\n\nDon’t give your cat treats to encourage him to use the litterbox. This may reinforce the behavior, rather than end it.\n\nIf you have a multi-cat household, have a separate litterbox for each cat. Cats will be more reluctant to use a box that another cat uses.\n\nGet a pet-friendly litter. Scents like pine and citrus can irritate some cats and make them less likely to use the litterbox.\n\nCats prefer to use dry litter, so make sure your litterbox is clean, dry and odor-free. Use a litter scoop to take out your cat’s waste.\n\nClean the litterbox daily. Cats are cleaner than people and they have a strong instinct to maintain the litterbox clean.\n\nKeep the litterbox clean, dry" } ]

It feels like scientific journals should be free to look at." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "Yes indeed, public funding of scientific research is a significant benefit to society as a whole, and it seems only reasonable that the results of this research should be freely available to the public. However, the private sector produces many important goods and services that are also of value to society, such as pharmaceuticals and high technology products. Furthermore, the private sector often produces these goods and services at a much lower cost, allowing them to be more affordable and widely available. So the private sector plays an important role in the economy, and in order to attract investors and provide a return on their investments, private companies must charge for the products and services they provide. \n\nThe situation with scientific publications is somewhat similar, given that research journals are almost entirely privately run and financed. Scientific publications are an essential tool for disseminating research results and advancing scientific knowledge, but the creation and dissemination of scientific knowledge is not a strictly cost-based enterprise. In order to ensure a sufficient return on investment, scientific journals must operate as profit-seeking businesses charging subscription fees. As a result, the public cannot generally access the results of publicly funded scientific research without paying for a subscription to a scientific journal, even though this research was largely paid for by taxpayer dollars. However, there are several ways that scientific research can be made more accessible to the general public, including open access journals that do not charge subscription fees, institutional repositories where researchers can post their own research results, and government-funded websites where scientists can post their results for free." } ]

This excess waste can also be harmful for asthma and allergies. One of the best ways to prevent rats from coming into your home is to eliminate any easy entryways through your home’s exterior walls. Give your attic, basement, or any other outer parts of your home a good cleaning so there are no leaks, entryways, or sources of food. Place any exposed trash or food in rat-proof containers that are airtight. And be sure to fix any areas of your roof where leaks might cause water to come into your attic, as these could create pathways for rats that see wet wood as a good place to live and create burrows. In addition to rat control, you can protect your home against other pests by keeping food in airtight containers in the fridge or the pantry, and removing any crumbs or scraps left out on counters. Most importantly, always keep your home clean, especially areas like the kitchen or bathroom where you store food. There are also a number of steps you can take to make your home less attractive to rats." } ]

What you’re looking for is a “mousse”. Some people like to use it on the top of their head, others like to use it on the sides, but many like to use it all over. It can be a pretty small amount, and should be applied using your fingers or a spray bottle. Once it’s on, you’ll want to give it a few minutes to work. Depending on your hair, this could take several hours for it to be fully set. If you’re not satisfied, you can usually wash it out or reapply it, but it’s best not to do this more than twice, as doing so might make your hair really greasy. Do you want to get started?" } ]

At REI, you can certify that your purchases are helping to conserve biodiversity and slow global warming, since they sell 100% recycled outdoor clothing. Just to give you a little more information, REI is a certified B Corp, which means it meets high standards for safe products, environmentally-friendly operations, and socially-conscious business practices.

Colors can create different moods and evoke certain feelings, so it’s important to use them purposefully. For a website, I would recommend using color to create a positive and attractive atmosphere. You want the colors to draw the user in and make them feel comfortable. It’s usually better to use a limited number of colors, and try to use complementary colors -- combinations that are opposite on the color wheel, such as blue and orange or red and green. This creates a nice contrast and harmony that is very effective. You might also want to consider using colors that are associated with your brand or your product. For example, a website for a hiking company might use green and brown colors to create a natural atmosphere. And of course, it’s important to make sure that the colors are easy to read and look good on different screen sizes and types." } ]

I do recommend getting professional veterinary advice as soon as possible, as the behavior you describe is quite concerning. I would recommend the following steps for you to take next:\n- spot check your cat’s age and health status to be sure she is not at risk of other critical or severe underlying health problems\n- call a veterinarian and have your cat checked over or see a veterinarian immediately\n- your veterinarian can take many steps to evaluate your cat’s health and recommend further support for you as her caregiver to best address her well-being\n- it is absolutely crucial to get professional veterinary care for cats with this sort of behavior, as weight loss and even starvation in cats can be a grave health concern. If your cat has been reluctant to eat for more than one twenty-four hour period, seek immediate veterinary care. In light of these health risks, if your cat continues to refuse to eat, it is imperative that you take her to a veterinarian as soon as possible. Please do not hesitate to seek medical help from a qualified veterinarian as soon as possible, and do not wait until your cat is very ill to visit a veterinarian.\n\nAt the same time, it is important for you to know that many cats are often picky eaters, especially if they are on a special diet. There are many different variables that play a role in your cat's eating behavior, including her biological temperament, natural diet, quality of life factors (nutrition, stimulation, and health), appetite, and more. An animal behaviorist and established veterinarian with several years or formal training and expertise in feline behavior can work with you to help identify and address your cat's specific eating challenges. There are many ways to encourage your cat to eat, such as offering appetizing food selections in smaller portions, choosing high-quality wet or dry nutrition, monitoring your cat’s behavior, and working with a veterinary behavior expert to develop a feeding program to address your cat's unique needs. Though difficult to see your cat in distress, remember that it is a top priority of animal caregiver to ensure their pet's health. Please do not hesitate to reach out to your veterinarian for support in addressing your cat's needs.\n\nI am always here to offer support, please feel free to contact me if you would like to discuss your question or concerns further. I am very sorry to see your cat suffer and I do hope she will receive the health care and support she needs to thrive. \n\nI sincerely appreciate your engagement with my service and look forward to being of support to you again soon." } ]

It’s also important to remember that “cold” can be a relative concept, in the sense that some humans would actually find these conditions quite comfortable. Even in the winter, the sun will sometimes be shining, and a person can still see and hear birds and other animals outside, but they don’t appear to be bothered by the weather. There is always wind, too, and it’s not so much the cold that’s uncomfortable, but the wind chill. In that sense, it’s difficult to give a single temperature number, because it’s so hard to describe to a human what temperature would be “comfortable”. But if we want to talk about the human-comfortable temperature, I think a good rule of thumb would be about 60 degrees Fahrenheit (or 15 degrees Celsius)." } ]

Basically, on February 2nd, if a groundhog sees its shadow during the day, it is believed to be a bad sign that predicts many more cold days (or \"wintertime\") ahead. However, if it does not, it is forecast to be a good sign predicting an early spring. Since 1952, the groundhogs in the U.S. have been wrong about 66% of the time (including 21% of years when the groundhog did not see its shadow and forecast a return of spring.) Their accuracy in predicting groundhog day weather tends to decrease as you look farther into the future - if the groundhog predicts winter until April, as he did this year, it will end up having poor accuracy about 50% of the time. \n\nOne key way that the groundhog's predictions do not match local weather trends is that the predictions are referring to temperature trends early in the morning, rather than actual weather over the course of the entire day.

There are a few different options, here are some of my thoughts: \n\nOne option is to prepare for potential streaks before you even begin cleaning the windows. Be sure to wipe the windows with a microfiber cloth, and divide the window into sections so you can work through each section without going back and forth, which can cause streaks. \n\nIf the windows are a bit oily, you can first use white vinegar on a microfiber cloth to get the oils off the windows. The vinegar comes in pre-mixed cleaning solutions you can also buy. The vinegar can smell a bit strong, though, and so I would only recommend this option if you find the windows are excessively oily. \n\nWhen you’re done cleaning and rinsing windows, you can wipe down a microfiber towel on them to dry any excess water. \n\nFinally, another option for dealing with streaks is to only use clean water to clean the windows, and not use soap or solutions that have detergent or other chemicals. Most of the time you might find detergent-based windows cleaners leave streaks, instead of completely dissolving window dirt. However, even windows cleaners without detergent may still lead" } ]

This liquid is called an electrolyte, which is usually a solution that contains metal ions. When you insert a battery into a device, like an electric vehicle or phone, that device allows electricity to flow inside the battery, which causes chemical changes within the electrolyte that convert energy into electric energy. When you use up that electric energy, and remove the device, the chemical reactions stop, and the battery begins to use up its stored chemical energy. That’s why you can’t just leave a battery completely unused... it will slowly use up its stored energy over time, and eventually the battery won’t have any energy stored any longer." } ]

As a currency, the functionality and value of cryptocurrencies are defined by market forces of supply and demand, just like any other currency. Cryptocurrency can be used to buy goods and services, as well as exchanged for other currencies or investments. The most well-known cryptocurrency is Bitcoin, and many other digital currencies have been created since." } ]

First, a quick grooming can usually reduce or alleviate mats in pets’ fur. This is something most owners can do themselves at home, or they can take their pets to the vet for thorough brushing. If cats fight with one another, or if they’re outside for long periods and get caught in particular environments, they make develop knots in their fur, which you should remove regularly using a mat splitter.
