It helps get my mind off this morning and this weekend. I hadn’t eaten breakfast yet because I was busy. I was cleaning a mess. My wife opened our bathroom cabinet door too hard. It’s mounted on the wall—or at least, it was. It all came crashing down. I heard a big clash and stuff busting. And man, it sucked! Broken glass, trash everywhere, wood splinters, and pieces of porcelain. The cabinet fell with such force that it busted off our built-in porcelain toilet paper holder. It’s one of those old-fashioned ones built in the ‘50s. Maybe it’s a good thing because we manually tore the other one off anyway. It’s out of style.\n\nAnyways, this weekend was hard, too.

[ { "content": "From the text below, extract a chronological list of events and what happened during each year. Provide one sentence per year.\n\nIn 1870 Lobengula granted Sir John Swinburne's London and Limpopo Mining Company the right to search for gold and other minerals on a tract of land in the extreme southwest of Matabeleland along the Tati River between the Shashe and Ramaquabane rivers, in what became known as the Tati Concession.[5][6] However, it was not until about 1890 that any significant mining in the area commenced.[citation needed]\n\nLobengula had been tolerant of the white hunters who came to Matabeleland; he would even go so far as to punish those of his tribe who threatened the whites. However, when a British team (Francis Thompson, Charles Rudd and Rochfort Maguire) came in 1888 to try to persuade him to grant them the right to dig for minerals in additional parts of his territory, he was wary about entering into negotiations. Lobengula gave his agreement only when his friend, Leander Starr Jameson, a qualified medical doctor who had once treated Lobengula for gout, proposed to secure money and weaponry for the Matabele in addition to a pledge that any people who came to dig would be considered as living in his kingdom. As part of this agreement, and at the insistence of the British, neither the Boers nor the Portuguese would be permitted to settle or gain concessions in Matabeleland. Although, Lobengula was illiterate and was not aware of how damaging this contract was to his country, only found out the real terms of the contract he signed as his subjects found out. After going to friendly English missionaries to confirm this rumour, Lobengula sent two emissaries to the British queen, Victoria, but this proved futile.", "role": "user" }, { "content": "1870: Lobengula granted Sir John Swinburne's London and Limpopo Mining Company the right to search for gold and other minerals on a tract of land in the extreme southwest of Matabeleland along the Tati River between the Shashe and Ramaquabane rivers, in what became known as the Tati Concession.\n1888: A British team (Francis Thompson, Charles Rudd and Rochfort Maguire) came to try to persuade him to grant them the right to dig for minerals in additional parts of his territory.\n1890: Significant mining in the area commenced.\n", "role": "assistant" } ]
[ { "content": "I need five ideas on how to make my bedroom more relaxing and cozier. Better sleep and a calmer mind is the end goal!", "role": "user" }, { "content": "Your bedroom should be a place where you feel safe and comfortable from the moment you step foot in it. You should long for the sanctuary of your bedroom in the evenings, especially after a long workday has left you feeling stressed and haggard. \n\nDid you know that there are 335 million people in the United States and one-third of them aren’t getting enough sleep? While there are many contributing factors to the lack of good doze, one main component is the lack of a properly relaxing and cozy space. \n\nFor a calmer mind and better sleep, here are five ideas for making your bedroom a more relaxing and cozier safe place. \n\n1. Choose colors that remind you of calmness and peace. \n\nFor many people, various shades of blue or purple are calming colors. Cerulean blue, for instance, is a favorite because it reminds most people of the oceans. Whereas, purple is often symbolic of luxury, which many people associate with a plush and cozy bedroom environment. \n\nHowever, color therapy is different for everyone, and the trick is finding colors that are soothing and calming specifically to you. It can be any color that evokes a peaceful brain response. While you don’t have to flood your bedroom with that singular color, a few splashes in pillows, blankets, and even on the walls could have a safe, comforting effect on your brain and body. \n\n2. What’s your “perfect storm” for a good night’s sleep? \n\nAs everyone’s calm colors are different, so are everyone’s ideas of an ideal sleep space. While some people love complete darkness and a cold bedroom with a fan on high throughout the year, others are happier and sleep better with a nightlight in a quiet room of warm, still air. It’s a personal preference, often associated with the ways you slept growing up. Ergo, it could be a catalyst for better sleep and a calmer mind as an adult too. \n\nIt may take trial and error, but work on discovering the environment that is most conducive to your calm state of mind and a good night’s rest. Once you’ve found your “perfect storm” of peace, it should be easier to create a cozy, calm environment in the bedroom. \n\n3. Bring nature into the bedroom with crystals, a vase of flowers, or windowsill succulents. \n\nNature is balance, and finding balance in your bedroom could mean reminding yourself of the equilibrium found in nature. For instance, you could add greenery with windowsill succulents, or bring a bloom of color onto your nightstand with a fresh vase of flowers. \n\nInto the mystical side of nature? Crystals are symbolic of inner feelings and your psyche, so invest and display crystals that represent what you want. For instance, black tourmaline repels negative energies, while amethyst encourages good dreams and deeper sleep. \n\n4. Engage your senses with softness and soothing scents. \n\nCalmness and peace are felt across all of your senses, so engage in those before bedtime. You could, for example, invest in a sound machine for the gentle lull of ocean waves or a cacophony of cicadas and crickets to remind you of your childhood. You could also surround yourself with softness, like plush pillows and luxurious blankets atop crisp, clean sheets. \n\nAnother way to invite calm into your bedroom is with the right scents. Lavender is naturally soothing to the mind, while vanilla is a subtle, mellow fragrance that transports your brain back to simpler, peaceful times. \n\nYou don’t have to douse your pillows and blankets but use a room spritz to liven the air or do the same with a candle. Just don’t forget to blow out the candle before you doze off. \n\n5. The less clutter in your bedroom, the less clutter in your mind before bedtime. \n\nClutter of your safe space is clutter of your mind because when the clutter becomes too much, your brain will latch onto the worry and responsibility of eventually having to clean and organize everything cluttered. It’s a thought that can keep you awake at night! \n\nUse your day to declutter and organize your bedroom. The less worry you give yourself, the better sleep you’ll have, and the calmer your mind will be. Remember that the aim here is to create a haven for yourself. \n", "role": "assistant" } ]

She won 22 international awards for Two Women. The film was extremely well received by critics and a huge commercial success. Though proud of this accomplishment, Loren did not show up to this award, citing fear of fainting at the award ceremony. Nevertheless, Cary Grant telephoned her in Rome the next day to inform her of the Oscar award.[18]\n\nDuring the 1960s, Loren was one of the most popular actresses in the world, and continued to make films in the United States and Europe, starring with prominent leading men. In 1961 and 1964, her career reached its pinnacle when she received $1 million to appear in El Cid and The Fall of the Roman Empire. In 1965, she received a second Academy Award nomination for her performance in Marriage Italian-Style opposite Marcello Mastroianni.[19]", "role": "user" }, { "content": "• Desire Under the Elms\n• Houseboat\n• Heller in Pink Tights\n• Two Women\n• El Cid\n• The Fall of the Roman Empire\n• Marriage Italian-Style", "role": "assistant" } ]

Give instructions on how to clean and weigh copper wire and how to figure the value. Keep the word count under 400 words.", "role": "user" }, { "content": "Copper is one of our planet’s precious natural resources that is quickly running out. In fact, the Mining, Minerals and Sustainable Development Project reports that copper recycling needs to increase to around 100 percent before the end of the twenty-first century if we are to have the copper necessary for industry and commerce. \n\nThe worldwide demand for copper is growing because of the many new products coming out every year, like PDAs, smartphones, pad computers, laptops, and many other electronics. The circuit boards on many of these devices require copper, so recycling copper wire isn’t just a good idea; it’s imperative.\n\nFor these reasons, copper recycling has become a big business. Copper doesn’t break down or disintegrate over time like aluminum and other metals. It retains its good properties for many years and can easily be melted down for use in all sorts of industries. Copper wire is one major area where recycling has really grown in the last few years. \n\nThis is good news for those who have copper wiring they don’t need anymore. You can help the planet out and make some money on the side. Copper wire retains its value, but all copper recyclers are not the same. Some are a bit on the shady side and will use faulty scales that weigh your copper light, so they don’t have to pay the full amount. It’s best to deal with a reputable copper recycler in your area that has a good name. It also helps to know the current copper prices. The more you know, the better your chances of not being taken advantage of.\n\nFiguring the Weight & Value of Copper Wire\nFirst, strip the copper wire so that you remove all surrounding plastic. Regardless of what the copper was previously used for, it may have rubber or plastic around it that was acting as a ground. Once the copper is clean, weigh it. Commercial scales are the most accurate, but a good set of home scales can work.", "role": "assistant" } ]

Place the title \"ANSWERS\" above the 5 answers. \n\nThe four pillars of fast relief\nDripDrop’s patented formula uses ORS science to activate a hydration shortcut known as the sodium-glucose cotransport system, accelerating fluid absorption into the bloodstream so you can feel better faster.\n\nMUST. HAVE. SODIUM\nWhen it comes to dehydration, not all electrolytes are created equal. Sodium is the key electrolyte necessary to pull fluids and other electrolytes into your bloodstream. But sodium has a tough time getting through the intestines on its own. It needs a little glucose to speed absorption.\n\nA LITTLE GLUCOSE\nPairing Sodium with a little glucose opens a hydration shortcut, helping fluids and electrolytes pass rapidly from your intestines into your bloodstream via the sodium-glucose cotransport system. It's like shifting into high gear! With the right ratio of sodium and glucose, water absorption increases 2-3x. \n\nLOW OSMOLARITY \nDripDrop's precise ratio is only part of the balanced equation that makes our formula so unique (and fast!). We also keep the particles in our solution (i.e. osmolarity) low. Why? For optimal efficiency and speed. Fewer particles equal speedier absorption, so you can feel better faster.\n\nUNMATCHABLE FLAVOR\nMaking a rehydration solution that works this well and tastes this good isn't easy.

Creating a comic book can be a difficult but rewarding venture. Here are some things to consider when creating a new comic book:\n\n1. Protagonist/Antagonist - Who is the main character/villain of the story? Your characters can be anything you want them to be; they don't necessarily have to follow the tradition of being individuals with superpowers. For instance, you could create characters who are based on people like yourself, living an ordinary life and dealing with ordinary, relatable problems. Consider the works of Harvey Pekar (\"American Splendor\"), which showcase stories about ordinary people. Or, if you decide to write characters who follow the fantasy superhero trope, know who they are (origin, superpowers, and how they got them, etc.). Generally, your characters should be fleshed out completely.\n2. Story - A good story can be made from any situation, but generally, most stories follow a formula that has been used in storytelling for centuries (i.e., Man vs. Man, Man vs. Environment). You could also write an autobiographical story or a story about other people who have lived or are still living. Your story is as creative and compelling as you make it, and it does not have to adhere to any set rules as long as it tells a coherent story that is worth reading.\n3. Illustrations - Drawing comic book characters and scenery can be done by yourself by hand or digitally using programs found online. You can also hire someone to draw the comic books for you if you have no desire or artistic skill to do it on your own. When making the illustrations for your comic book, have a clear idea of what you want the drawings to convey and consider using drawing techniques that show actions taking place (e.g., using \"action lines\" to illustrate a person's punch wooshing by another person's face.)\n4. Format - You can decide to have either a printed comic book on paper or a digital comic book that can be distributed via email or an app. With either option, you will still adhere to the same aforementioned steps, but the approach to going through these steps may differ slightly. For instance, making a digital comic book will still require illustrations, but illustrating digital comics will require the use of programs (i.e., Adobe, Paint, et al.) whereas printed comic books require ink and paper. Also, printing a comic book will result in something you can hold with your own hands but can become torn or worn over time, whereas a digital comic book has no tactile feel to it but will never deteriorate.", "role": "assistant" } ]

Get to know your garden\nBefore you start, it's a good idea to get to know your garden. Check the aspect – is it south-facing or north-facing? Knowing where the sun hits the ground will help you decide what to grow where. It's also worth knowing what soil type you have. Take a look at what's growing – camellias, magnolias and pieris will tell you the soil is acidic, while absence of these suggests a more alkaline soil. Doing a soil test will further help you know your soil, and therefore what plants you can grow.\n\n2. Plan your garden\nSitting down and planning your garden is a great starting point. This way you can work out what to grow where, rather than getting carried away at the garden centre and ending up with a jumble of plants that don't look good together and might not suit your growing conditions. Planning will also enable you to use colour and structure wisely, which will help you create a garden that looks great throughout the year.\n\n3. Learn how to plant\nPlanting your plants properly will ensure they grow well and live for a long time. Make sure you take time to weed and prepare the soil before planting, and add mulch or fertiliser where necessary. If you're unsure how to plant something, look online for instructions rather than just hoping for the best. Trees planted too deeply will never thrive, and root-balls that sit proud of the soil surface will dry out quickly, leading to the eventual death of the plant.\n\n4. Feed and water plants regularly\nKnowing when and how to water plants is the difference between them living and dying. As a general rule, water the root ball rather than the leaves, as it's the roots that absorb the water. Soaking the rootball every week is better than watering a little bit every day. Feeding is also important - generally you should be looking at feeding every fortnight during growing season (that's spring and summer), although you will need to feed more if growing in containers.\n\n5. Start small\nWhen starting a new veg patch or allotment, it can be tempting to take it all on in one go. It's much better to do a little bit at a time. You can easily cover areas you don't want to cultivate with cardboard or black plastic, to stop weeds growing, while you work on a different area.\n\n6. Keep an eye on pests\nMost garden pests don't do much harm to plants and can be left alone - there are plenty of natural predators that will keep them in check. However, sometimes pest populations can become an infestation, and you need to act. Keeping an eye out for increasing numbers of pests like aphids, slugs and snails, will help keep your plants safe, and save you a lot of heartache.\n\n7.

Obviously, it's important to consider your knowledge, skills, and experience, but price yourself with what you are comfortable earning so that you will continue to be motivated to keep up your freelance writing business for the long term. \n\nHere are some simplified steps to help you set your freelance writing rates. \n\n1. Start with some online research. It's good to get a grasp on what people are paying in your industry or niche. If you don't have one, that's fine too! Seeing the differences in pay may be a factor to consider if you're thinking of choosing a niche. You can go to any of the freelance job platforms you're now a part of to see what clients are listing their budget as (even though it's not always listed), what other writers' rates are, and their level of experience/background. \n\n2. Consider your professional and educational background. Even if you are new to freelance writing, any relevant experience can set you apart from others and provide a reason to charge a higher rate. This has its limits obviously, you must have the skill to back it up. If you have a degree in English or journalism, that sets you apart. Obviously, if you don't have a writing background or other credentials, this doesn't mean that you can't be a freelance writer, it just means that you may have to start at a lower rate until you have successfully completed a few projects and have some good reviews under your belt. \n\n3. Consider the budget of potential clients. It's important to know what clients you are targeting. If you want to take on a client with a startup business, they will likely offer lower pay because that may be all that's in the budget. If you target more established businesses or individuals to write for, there may be more room for negotiation on your rate or the project cost. \n", "role": "assistant" } ]

Produced by Marvel Studios and distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures,[a] it is the sixth film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). Written and directed by Joss Whedon, the film features an ensemble cast including Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo, Chris Hemsworth, Scarlett Johansson, and Jeremy Renner as the Avengers, alongside Tom Hiddleston, Stellan Skarsgård, and Samuel L. Jackson. In the film, Nick Fury and the spy agency S.H.I.E.L.D. recruit Tony Stark, Steve Rogers, Bruce Banner, Thor, Natasha Romanoff, and Clint Barton to form a team capable of stopping Thor's brother Loki from subjugating Earth.\n\nThe film's development began when Marvel Studios received a loan from Merrill Lynch in April 2005. After the success of the film Iron Man in May 2008, Marvel announced that The Avengers would be released in July 2011 and would bring together Stark (Downey), Rogers (Evans), Banner (at the time Edward Norton),[b] and Thor (Hemsworth) from Marvel's previous films. With the signing of Johansson as Romanoff in March 2009, Renner as Barton in June 2010, and Ruffalo replacing Norton as Banner in July 2010, the film was pushed back for a 2012 release. Whedon was brought on board in April 2010 and rewrote the original screenplay by Zak Penn. Production began in April 2011 in Albuquerque, New Mexico, before moving to Cleveland, Ohio in August and New York City in September. The film has more than 2,200 visual effects shots.\n\nThe Avengers premiered in Los Angeles on April 11, 2012, and was released in the United States on May 4, as the final film in Phase One of the MCU. The film received praise for Whedon's direction and screenplay, visual effects, action sequences, acting, and musical score. The film grossed over $1.5 billion worldwide, setting numerous box office records and becoming the third-highest-grossing film of all time at the time of its release and the highest-grossing film of 2012, as well as the first Marvel production to generate $1 billion in ticket sales. In 2017, The Avengers was featured as one of the 100 greatest films of all time in an Empire magazine poll. It received a nomination for Best Visual Effects at the 85th Academy Awards, among numerous other accolades.

On my first day there, I went to a local restaurant for lunch and ate it at the Detroit Riverwalk. Such a beautiful place! I was able to sit next to the Detroit River and watch the boats go by! Afterward, I took a lovely walk at Campus Martius Park, which isn't that far away. There were so many people there! It was nice to experience such a modern park! The next day, I went to a baseball game at Comerica Park, where the Detroit Tigers play. The stadium was very crowded! Everyone was excited to be there! Maybe next time you can travel here with me! Talk to you soon!\nRegards, \nGrace", "role": "assistant" } ]

We are currently in hour 3 of the flight, and we are passing over Washington D.C. right now. I'd like you to direct your attention to the windows on the starboard side of the cabin. For you landlubbers, that means the right-hand side.\n\nAs you peer out, I'd like you to notice that, yes, those are wings. You are on an airplane, and we are in flight, so it's a very good thing that those wings are still there, haha! I kid, I kid. It's okay to laugh; I'll even take a chuckle. Okay, no? Really? It's a bit quiet out there but don't worry, you've got the best in the business on your flight here today.\n\nIn fact, this isn't even my first time flying... it's my second time! You should have seen how the first one went. Oof, be glad you weren't on that flight. I've never seen so many gaunt faces before; you'd think they were ghosts. I swear it wasn't my fault, though; I blame the chicken salad.\n\nWhich reminds me, please do take us up on our offer of in-flight meals. They are freshly microwaved by our classically trained stewards and stewardesses. Why, some of them have spent years in France learning the ways of fine dining! So believe me when I tell you that nobody, and I mean nobody, can press a microwave button quite like they can.\n\nCrickets still, huh? Is this mic on? \n\nAnyway, folks, seriously now, on your right, you will see the Washington Monument illuminated in all its majesty. And shortly, you will be able to see all of Capital Hill. Enjoy a small dose of American history courtesy of your friendly neighborhood pilot. And thanks for choosing us for your in-flight entertainment.\"\n\n", "role": "assistant" } ]
