James woke up one morning just like any other to get ready to go to school. James' first class started at 8:00 AM each day, so to get to school he needed to be on the bus by 7:30. But today James woke up late and missed the bus! He ran outside with his backpack only to see the bus already headed off down the street. \n\nSince his parents had already gone to work, James knew that he had to come up with another way of getting to school on time. He hopped on his bicycle and took off in the direction of the school. He knew the route well enough to get there but he wasn't sure if he could get to school fast enough. When he was halfway there, James started to think there was a chance he could make it. Suddenly, the bike's tire ran over a nail and popped! \n\nNow what could he do?! James was sure he wouldn't make it to class on time without his bike but he also wasn't one to give up. He abandoned the bike and started running down the street. He checked his watch and saw that he only had ten minutes left, and yet he was still far away! James stopped and panted and tried to catch his breath. He was sure he wouldn't make it to class on time now. \n\nThen a truck pulled up next to James. The man driving the truck rolled down his window and explained that he saw what had happened and had placed James' bike in the bed of the truck. He asked James if needed a ride somewhere and James said \"Yes, I need a ride to school.\" The man obliged, and when they arrived the man set the bike outside so that James could retrieve it at the end of the school day. James thanked the man and ran inside the school building. After all that trouble, he had made it to class right on time after all. ", "role": "assistant" } ]

We're only down by 10 points, but that's because they caught a run down the stretch using plays that exposed our man in the paint. They're switching the assignments on us pretty regularly, and I think that's what's making it hard to defend.\n\nThe next half is gonna require us to fall back to our basics. We're gonna go back to the box-and-one, and any time they wanna penetrate, the help needs to close the box quickly. That means our man in the paint will be able to double-team the forwards when they try to go to the basket.\n\nTrust me, guys. You're playing excellent ball. The other team is just throwing everything they can at us to see what sticks, and, credit to them, some of what they're doing works. But we're hip to what they're doing now, and once we revert to the box-and-one the defense will be able to make the stops we need to keep them in check.\n\nOffense-wise, we're doing everything we wanted to do. Our shots are falling, and as soon as they decide to screen we're already rolling to the basket for the easy give-and-go layups. Keep doing what you're doing on offense; don't change a thing, just keep plugging away, and we'll be back on top.\n\nOverall, just keep doing what you're doing. We're in great position.

This would allow the character to bypass defenses and obstacles that would have otherwise taken several turns to break down. \n3. Sneak Attack: As a flanker, the character would specialize in doing their best work behind enemy lines and from advantageous positions. Their skillset would not only include abilities that would allow them to get to such advantageous positions but also to maximize their advantage when there. Sneak Attack, which could ensure a guaranteed critical on the next attack by the character, would fit well into this role. \n4. Caltrops: The character can toss caltrops upon the ground, slowing or outright immobilizing enemies caught in them. This would help to redirect enemy movements and to prevent more powerful enemies from catching up with the character.\n5: Sucker Punch: When cornered by a formidable enemy, Sucker Punch can disable them for one turn, rendering them unable to perform attacks of opportunity. This would be ideal for getting out of danger from a more powerful opponent.\n6. Second Wind: By activating Second Wind, the character can regain their movement points.

They will need a stake or vegetable cage for support and to keep the wind from damaging them.\n4. Green Beans: Beans do well in Idaho summers because they are drought resistant, needing little water and doing well in direct sunlight. They also enrich the soil. Grow them once you're sure the risk of spring frost is gone.

I've always tried to make the most out of my life as a doormat. For the longest time, I sat in a department store with my fellow mats, and they would say, \"Matt, you're such a great guy\" and \"Matt, you're one of the best.\" I felt like the best, too, beaming my \"Welcome\" for everyone to see. I was a symbol of hospitality. Then, Jen and Dion took me home. They seemed like a great couple, and from what I heard, they were going to set up their new home for the first time.\n\nI remember how excited I was to cross the threshold and see that open space. Where, oh, where would they put me? Perhaps hung up on the front door to welcome guests or propped up on a table by the stairs. All I knew was that people would see me and feel welcomed into the home. At least, that's what I assumed. I was put on the ground while the couple explored the house; it was only temporary, of course. After the couple got over their giddiness of going through the entire home, they came back to the pile of boxes they'd brought in. \n\nThey both agreed to get started unpacking, but before they did, Dion picked me up. \"First things first,\" he said with a twinkle in his eye. This was it! He was going to put me in a place of honor. I was a little confused when I was unceremoniously dumped outside right in front of the door, right in the footpath of anyone entering or exiting the home. Did they not understand my peril here? The door suddenly swung open and Jen drove her high-heeled shoes straight into me. Dion was soon to follow, stepping outside and closing the door as they went to collect the rest of the boxes from the car. \n\nMy misery was only compounded over the next few weeks. The couple hosted a housewarming party. Hour after hour, guests traipsed in and out of the home, stomping on me without remorse. I was a tool to them, I realized then, resigned to my fate.

[ { "content": "Can you explain to me in a couple of sentences where the Easter Bunny originated from according to this article? \n\nHere is an article with some information: \nEaster is known as a time to celebrate the end of the Lenten season and the resurrection of Jesus on Easter Sunday. But for young kids especially, Easter also means candy and eggs full of treats from the mystical and magical Easter Bunny. With all the excitement might come endless questions — where does the Easter Bunny come from? Why does he bring us candy and eggs? How old is he? And most importantly, what does a bunny have to do with the religious holiday?\n\nWhile legend has told us that the Easter Bunny is a long-eared, cotton-tailed creature who hops from house to house to deliver festive baskets, there's more about his history that you might not be familiar with. Before you break out the delicious Easter desserts and begin your annual family egg hunt, take a minute to learn about the Easter Bunny's connection to this special Christian holiday that goes back to pagan traditions. Find out where the character comes from, how a rabbit became associated with Easter eggs and how he came to be such a beloved symbol for kids over the years.\nAs Christians probably already know, the Bible makes no mention of a mythical hare who delivers eggs to children on the day of Jesus Christ's resurrection. So, why exactly has a rabbit become a prominent part of one of Christianity's most important celebrations of rebirth and renewal? One theory, according to Time, is that the symbol of the rabbit stems from the ancient pagan tradition on which many of our Easter traditions are based — the festival of Eostre, which honored the goddess of fertility and spring. The goddess's animal symbol was a rabbit, which have long traditionally stood for fertility due to their high reproduction rates.\nAs for how the character of the Easter Bunny made its way to America, History.com reports that it was first introduced in the 1700s by German immigrants to Pennsylvania, who reportedly brought over their tradition of an egg-laying hare named \"Osterhase\" or \"Oschter Haws\" from the Old Country. Legend has it, the rabbit would lay colorful eggs as gifts to children who were good, so kids would make nests in which the bunny could leave his eggs and even sometimes set out carrots in case the hare got hungry. Remind you of any other holiday traditions? Eventually, the custom spread across America until it was a widespread Easter tradition. Over time, the fabled bunny's delivery expanded from just eggs to include other treats such as chocolate and toys. Easter baskets have only gotten more and more elaborate over the years, as one trip to the store this year will tell you.", "role": "user" }, { "content": "According to the article, the origin of the easter bunny starts with the rabbit symbolism seen in the pagan spring and fertility festival of Eostre, which influenced many Easter traditions.

Many creatives have trouble building the courage to put something they make online. Creatives need a thick skin when showing off something they created with love. That being said, it doesn't need to be difficult. Posting online is a great first step, so congratulations! When you think about marketing yourself online, selling things should be the last thing on your mind. Connect with enough people, and the rest will fall into place. There are many websites to help you do this, so here are a few suggestions.\n\n1. Instagram - Instagram is a wonderful tool for organically reaching a wide group of people. It is an image and video social media platform on which you can share fully finished works or even progress updates. Some artists even record themselves working and make videos played at faster speeds to show a full beginning to end in a short digestible video.\n2. Reddit (Related Subreddits) - Reddit can be a great place to submit your art, provided you go to the right sections. There are dozens of subreddits that can be beneficial to an up-and-coming artist. The community is moderated, but because it is an open forum, you might run into some trolls.\n3. Deviant Art - If you are into concept art and digital art, Deviant Art is the place to be. It has a huge community where you can follow other artists and comment on each other's work. An artist's Deviant Art page often also acts as their portfolio when applying for jobs. \n4. Pinterest - Pinterest is more of a visual search engine than a portfolio or social media page. If you put your work up on Pinterest, then others can pin it so they can add the post to their collection. They can even re-pin it so it reaches even more people.\n5. Wetcanvas Forums - Wetcanvas is an art-specific forum. While Reddit is a forum with thousands of different topics, Wetcanvas is a place solely for creative art. It is a wonderful place to connect with like-minded artists, get feedback on recent work, or ask for advice on anything you may be stuck on.", "role": "assistant" } ]

[ { "content": "Briefly explain what B.A.R.K. is and list the benefits of using therapy dogs for online classes.\n\nFor college students, stress relief can take many forms online: shopping, ordering food, gaming with friends and meeting new romantic partners. And now they can add hanging out with therapy dogs to that list. Virtual canine comfort is emerging as a successful way for students to reduce their stress as they interact with therapy dog-handler teams.\n\nBecause they are nonjudgmental, engaging and welcoming, interacting with therapy dogs can be used as a complementary intervention that reduces student stress which may encourage students to seek more formal support services if needed. Once introduced on campus, the interest from students typically surpasses most programs’ abilities to meet the demand.\n\nEven prior to COVID-19, being a college student was considered a stressful experience; college administrators have increasingly been seeking innovative ways to encourage students to safeguard their mental health. Spending time with therapy dogs is one proactive way for students to chip away at potentially debilitating levels of heightened stress.\n\nIn-person canine visitation programs or canine-assisted interventions are themselves a relatively new way for students to enhance their well-being. Programs such as the University of British Columbia’s Building Academic Retention through K9s (B.A.R.K.) program at the Okanagan campus was established in 2012 as a way for students to reduce their homesickness, decrease their stress and foster interpersonal connections.\nAnalysis of the world, from experts\n\nSeveral randomized controlled trials out of the B.A.R.K. lab, and elsewhere, now attest to the efficacy of spending time with therapy dogs to elicit a host of well-being outcomes.\n\nRestrictions on in-person sessions saw the B.A.R.K. program collaborate with human-animal interaction researcher Christine Tardif-Williams’ pre-recorded virtual canine comfort modules.\n\nWe set out to conceptualize, design and deliver a series of virtual canine comfort modules that mirrored, as close as possible, the experience of students in an in-person canine visitation session. These sessions consisted of a trained dog-handler team following a script that saw handlers welcome students and encourage reflection around stress reduction and mindfulness. Students were also asked to reflect on their social support networks.\n\nStudents could access these modules remotely, which support the well-being of students who are geographically isolated or in areas where well-being resources are overtaxed or nonexistent.\n\nThe modules are posted online on a platform that students (and others) can access without needing to sign-up for an appointment or join a waitlist.\nThe University of British Columbia’s B.A.R.K. program studies how canine therapy can support students and others.\nStress reduction\n\nPrior to releasing these modules, we conducted a randomized controlled trial to assess how the modules would affect students’ self-ratings of stress. We assigned 467 undergraduate students to either synchronous (via Zoom) or asynchronous (pre-recorded YouTube videos) five-minute sessions that invited them to observe a dog—handler team or a handler-only condition.\n\nWe assessed well-being before and after the sessions using measures like anxiety, loneliness, connections to others, positive and negative affect. We found that all students, regardless of condition, reported significant pre-to-post improvements in self-reports of most well-being measures. However, the conditions in which the therapy dog was present elicited the most significant reduction in self-reports of stress.\n\nAlthough additional research is needed, these initial findings are encouraging. They support the contention that, for students for whom attending in-person sessions are not an option, accessing virtual canine therapy modules can offer a momentary reduction in stress.\n\nUnlike in-person sessions that are scheduled at the convenience of program personnel, virtual canine comfort modules may be accessed as needed by students. Further, college instructors can make use of virtual canine comfort modules as part of “brain breaks” incorporated into a lecture to encourage students to reflect on, and take care of, their well-being.", "role": "user" }, { "content": "B.A.R.K., or the University of British Columbia's \"Building Academic Retention through K9s\" is a program established at this university's Okanagan campus in 2012.

He made her life difficult every day and she had privately hoped he would move to a different town. She walked faster to get back to her room so she could see what bad thing he had done now.

[ { "content": "Rewrite these paragraphs from an article about the artist Jean-Michel Basquiat as if you are the journalist interviewing Basquiat about his life and artwork.\n\nIn 1985, the New York Times Magazine featured a shoeless Jean-Michel Basquiat on its cover. Titled “New Art, New Money,” the piece it ran with was ostensibly about the artist, but its focus was really the vague concept of the “art star”—a celebrity who not only made a lot of money (largely unheard of), but who didn’t care if others knew how much money they made (terribly uncool). Art stars, the article said, went to the Midtown New York hotspot Mr. Chow, a trendy watering hole that doubled as a place to be seen and a place to have a drink. That made Basquiat quite unlike Jackson Pollock and his contemporaries, whose clubhouse, the West Village Cedar Tavern, was described as “grubby” and anonymous.\n\nOften spotted beside Keith Haring and Andy Warhol, Basquiat would show up to Mr. Chow decked out in an Armani suit. He’d drink kir royale and socialize with the art-world elite. At the time of writing, he was 24. He had gone from selling drawings for $50 in 1980 to selling canvases “at a brisk pace—so brisk, some observers joked, that the paint was barely dry,” the article said. Basquiat said he worried he had become a “gallery mascot.” Not everyone knew what to make of the young Black man and his frenetic, rebellious paintings, but everyone wanted to be associated with him. Everyone still does.\n\nDespite his outsized reputation, Basquiat’s career did not last long—he died at 27 of a heroin overdose in 1988. According to Phoebe Hoban’s book Basquiat: A Quick Killing in Art, the artist left behind “917 drawings, 25 sketchbooks, 85 prints, and 171 paintings.” Nevertheless, that oeuvre has become one of the defining ones of the 20th century.\n\nIn May 2016, one of his “Head” paintings sold for $57.3 million. The following year, Untitled, a Basquiat from 1982, sold for $110.5 million at Sotheby’s, setting a record for an American artist. The dealer Jeffrey Deitch, who gave the eulogy at Basquiat’s funeral, said after the sale that the artist was now in the “same league” as Pablo Picasso, meaning—maybe—that Basquiat’s prices were buoyed by a similar alchemy: limited supply, raw talent, and a fascinating biography. And his work is getting the major surveys it deserves, too—one focused on hip-hop and his paintings is now on view at the Museum of Fine Arts Boston.", "role": "user" }, { "content": "Journalist: Today we're joined by the famed artist Jean Michel-Basquiat.
