Following is a list of issues I have been encountering recently:\n\n* Barry the Tooth Fairy is not carrying his share of the load. We are both assigned to the New England area of the United States and while I'm out collecting teeth and checking off the list, Barry is lurking in alleyways waiting to snag lost teeth from bar fights that may or may not happen.\n\n* Because of Barry's behavior, you'll see a decline in the quality of teeth we submit on a daily basis. Whereas the majority of teeth I collect are from young, fresh mouths, his collections tend to be yellowed from cigarette smoke and even have cavities and crowns.\n\n* New England winters are brutal, and our current Tooth Fairy uniform is simply not warm enough. We need something ergonomically friendly that won't reduce wing speed (especially since we have to cover extra households now).\n\n* Kids these days don't appreciate coins, so I'd like to request that we be permitted to carry only lighter-weight paper money now. Electronic transactions would be a modern, vast improvement.\n\n* Additional training on how to deal with pets (especially cats) that sleep in the beds of children would be most useful. I've had one too many close encounters and I feel that my pay grade isn't high enough to justify this level of danger.\n\nOn a happier note, I'd like to request a transfer for my fiance, Mary the Merry Tooth Fairy, to my region as soon as possible. I'm sure you, in all your wisdom, Larry, can understand that it would be better for us to build a life together here in the New England region rather than in her current assignment of the Yukon territory.\n\nThank you for your consideration!\n\nSincerely,\nJerry the Tooth Fairy", "role": "assistant" } ]

[ { "content": "Write a brief summary of this article about John Adams.\n\n\nJohn Adams, a remarkable political philosopher, served as the second President of the United States (1797-1801), after serving as the first Vice President under President George Washington.\nAdams was born in the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1735. A Harvard-educated lawyer, he early became identified with the patriot cause; a delegate to the First and Second Continental Congresses, he led in the movement for independence.\n\nDuring the Revolutionary War he served in France and Holland in diplomatic roles, and helped negotiate the treaty of peace. From 1785 to 1788 he was minister to the Court of St. James’s, returning to be elected Vice President under George Washington. Adams’ two terms as Vice President were frustrating experiences for a man of his vigor, intellect, and vanity. He complained to his wife Abigail, “My country has in its wisdom contrived for me the most insignificant office that ever the invention of man contrived or his imagination conceived.”\n\nWhen Adams became President, the war between the French and British was causing great difficulties for the United States on the high seas and intense partisanship among contending factions within the Nation.\nHis administration focused on France, where the Directory, the ruling group, had refused to receive the American envoy and had suspended commercial relations. Adams sent three commissioners to France, but in the spring of 1798 word arrived that the French Foreign Minister Talleyrand and the Directory had refused to negotiate with them unless they would first pay a substantial bribe. Adams reported the insult to Congress, and the Senate printed the correspondence, in which the Frenchmen were referred to only as “X, Y, and Z.” The Nation broke out into what Jefferson called “the X. Y. Z. fever,” increased in intensity by Adams’s exhortations. The populace cheered itself hoarse wherever the President appeared. Never had the Federalists been so popular.\n\nCongress appropriated money to complete three new frigates and to build additional ships, and authorized the raising of a provisional army. It also passed the Alien and Sedition Acts, intended to frighten foreign agents out of the country and to stifle the attacks of Republican editors. President Adams did not call for a declaration of war, but hostilities began at sea. At first, American shipping was almost defenseless against French privateers, but by 1800 armed merchantmen and U.S. warships were clearing the sea-lanes. Despite several brilliant naval victories, war fever subsided. Word came to Adams that France also had no stomach for war and would receive an envoy with respect. Long negotiations ended the quasi war. Sending a peace mission to France brought the full fury of the Hamiltonians against Adams. In the campaign of 1800 the Republicans were united and effective, the Federalists badly divided. Nevertheless, Adams polled only a few less electoral votes than Jefferson, who became President.\n\nOn November 1, 1800, just before the election, Adams arrived in the new Capital City to take up his residence in the White House. On his second evening in its damp, unfinished rooms, he wrote his wife, “Before I end my letter, I pray Heaven to bestow the best of Blessings on this House and all that shall hereafter inhabit it. May none but honest and wise Men ever rule under this roof.” Adams retired to his farm in Quincy. Here he penned his elaborate letters to Thomas Jefferson. Here on July 4, 1826, he whispered his last words: “Thomas Jefferson survives.” But Jefferson had died at Monticello a few hours earlier.\n", "role": "user" }, { "content": "John Adams (1735-1826) was born in the Massachusetts Bay Colony, educated in law at Harvard University and is one of the earliest to be identified with the cause of independence. He served in both the First and Second Continental Congress. As a diplomat for the fledgling country of America, he became a diplomat to France and Holland and, from 1785 to 1788 was the American minister to the Court of St. James. As such, he negotiated the treaty of peace with Britain. Elected George Washington’s Vice President, he found the office to be “the most insignificant … ever” invented. \n\nAdams took office in 1797 and spent most of his presidency tackling conflicts with France. In 1880, just prior to losing the presidential election to Thomas Jefferson, Adams and his wife moved into the White House, writing the wish that “none but honest and wise Men ever rule under this roof.” In 1801, he retired to his farm in Quincy, Massachusetts where he often wrote to Thomas Jefferson.

[ { "content": "Turn the facts in this Wikipedia article about climate change into a series of questions with answers.\n\nIn common usage, climate change describes global warming—the ongoing increase in global average temperature—and its effects on Earth's climate system. Climate change in a broader sense also includes previous long-term changes to Earth's climate. The current rise in global average temperature is more rapid than previous changes, and is primarily caused by humans burning fossil fuels.[2][3] Fossil fuel use, deforestation, and some agricultural and industrial practices increase greenhouse gases, notably carbon dioxide and methane.[4] Greenhouse gases absorb some of the heat that the Earth radiates after it warms from sunlight. Larger amounts of these gases trap more heat in Earth's lower atmosphere, causing global warming.\n\nDue to climate change, deserts are expanding, while heat waves and wildfires are becoming more common.[5] Increased warming in the Arctic has contributed to melting permafrost, glacial retreat and sea ice loss.[6] Higher temperatures are also causing more intense storms, droughts, and other weather extremes.[7] Rapid environmental change in mountains, coral reefs, and the Arctic is forcing many species to relocate or become extinct.[8] Even if efforts to minimise future warming are successful, some effects will continue for centuries. These include ocean heating, ocean acidification and sea level rise.[9]\n\nClimate change threatens people with increased flooding, extreme heat, increased food and water scarcity, more disease, and economic loss. Human migration and conflict can also be a result.[10] The World Health Organization (WHO) calls climate change the greatest threat to global health in the 21st century.[11] Societies and ecosystems will experience more severe risks without action to limit warming.[12] Adapting to climate change through efforts like flood control measures or drought-resistant crops partially reduces climate change risks, although some limits to adaptation have already been reached.[13] Poorer countries are responsible for a small share of global emissions, yet have the least ability to adapt and are most vulnerable to climate change.\n\nMany climate change impacts are already felt at the current 1.2 °C (2.2 °F) level of warming. Additional warming will increase these impacts and can trigger tipping points, such as the melting of the Greenland ice sheet.[14] Under the 2015 Paris Agreement, nations collectively agreed to keep warming \"well under 2 °C\". However, with pledges made under the Agreement, global warming would still reach about 2.7 °C (4.9 °F) by the end of the century.[15] Limiting warming to 1.5 °C will require halving emissions by 2030 and achieving net-zero emissions by 2050.[16]\n\nReducing emissions requires generating electricity from low-carbon sources rather than burning fossil fuels. This change includes phasing out coal and natural gas fired power plants, vastly increasing use of wind, solar, nuclear and other types of renewable energy, and reducing energy use. Electricity generated from non-carbon-emitting sources will need to replace fossil fuels for powering transportation, heating buildings, and operating industrial facilities.[18][19] Carbon can also be removed from the atmosphere, for instance by increasing forest cover and farming with methods that capture carbon in soil.[20]", "role": "user" }, { "content": "What is climate change?\nClimate change describes global warming—the ongoing increase in global average temperature—and its effects on Earth's climate system.

[ { "content": "Extract the ingredients for a facial moisturizer in this article and present them in a numbered list. \n\n1. Hyaluronic Acid\nIt’s an ingredient that is currently all the rage in skincare, but it’s so much more than just a trend. Hyaluronic acid is a literal hydration lifesaver because it can hold about 1,000 times its weight in water. This type of acid acts as a humectant, a potent ingredient that’s basically a sponge, pulling in water and coating your complexion with the hydration it so desperately needs. Adding hyaluronic acid to your moisturizing routine will result in plump, supple, and youthful skin. Want to know even more about hyaluronic acid? You’re in luck. We have an entire article about it right here!\n\n2. Essential Oils\nEssential oils are very trendy at the moment, but their benefits go far beyond their current rage. Most of the essential oils that are used in skincare are fatty acids that will absorb on skin surfaces quickly and effectively, providing ample moisture that won’t dry out and a smoother, creamier complexion. There are plenty of essential oils out there that are often included in moisturizers, but a few of our favorite (and a few of the most effective) include oils like jojoba, avocado, kukui nut, rosehip, calendula, argan, apricot kernel, and more. Typically, oils can be used inside a moisturizing product or added into a moisturizing product through a serum drop.\n\n3. Ceramides\nIf you’ve never heard of ceramides, don’t fret—that’s why we’re here. Ceramides are long chains of skin lipids that are already a part of your skin’s outer layer. So, adding extra ceramides to your skincare routine helps to increase and reinforce your skin’s natural moisture barrier. When you add ceramide moisturizers into your routine, you ensure that your skin’s surface is hydrated and that you’re creating a protective barrier that will keep environmental pollutants out.\n\n4. Glycerin\nLike Hyaluronic acid, Glycerin is a humectant-like ingredient that helps to attract and lock in important moisture on your skin’s surface. Many moisturizing products out there already include glycerin, but we suggest double checking all labels to ensure your moisturizer has a healthy dose of this ingredient. Glycerin helps to hydrate dried out, thirsty skin and aims to leave skin surfaces feeling soft, younger, and more supple.\n\n5. Sunscreen Or Sun Blocking Agents\nNo, a great moisturizer doesn’t always include a solid sun-blocking agent in it (especially since sunscreen isn’t a key ingredient in most moisturizing products). But we offer major bonus points to moisturizers that include a dash of sun protection in them. No, this won’t necessarily rescue your dry, damaged skin, and no, it won’t keep your skin well-hydrated, but it will help to prevent any further dryness, redness, or damage from the sun—and why wouldn’t you want to add that in as an effective moisturizer ingredient?\n\nShare this post\nShare on Facebook\nShare on Twitter\nShare on Pinterest\nShare on LinkedIn\nPost Navigation\nPREVIOUS\nPrevious post:\nChemical Peel 101: The Fundamentals\nNEXT\nNext post:\nVitamin C Serum: A Skin Care Cornerstone\n1 COMMENT\nPingback: Our Top 5: The Hottest Skincare Trends of 2020 to Keep Your Eye On. | Spa De Soleil Private Label Blog\nLEAVE A REPLY\nYou must be logged in to post a comment.\n\nFORMULA CATEGORIES\nBody Wash (2)\nCertified Organic (1)\nCosmetic Wipes (3)\nER Treatments (2)\nEye & Lip Treatment (7)\nEye Treatment (1)\nFace Cleanser (17)\nFace Cream (29)\nFace Mask (15)\nFace Mist (1)\nFace Oil (3)\nFace Scrub (4)\nFace Serum (11)\nFace Toner (12)\nFacial Pads (2)\nFormulation Library (10)\nAHA & BHA (4)\nAnti-Aging Essentials (1)\nBody Scrub (5)\nHair Shampoo (1)\nHand & Body (5)\nLotion (3)\nMen's Collection (3)\nOTC (Over-the-Counter) (1)\nRetinol (3)", "role": "user" }, { "content": "1.

It originally operated as a translator of Chicago sister station WCIU-TV, which at the time was an independent station with Telemundo as a secondary affiliation. On October 18, 1995, W58BT (channel 58, now WBND-LD on channel 57) became the South Bend market's new ABC affiliate, after full-power WSJV (channel 28) ended its affiliation with that network to join Fox.[3] Due to W58BT's low-power signal which could not reach the entire market, Weigel then converted W69BT into a translator of W58BT to reach areas that could not receive an adequate signal as Weigel campaigned the FCC to increase the station's signal radius, along with establishing its pay-TV coverage.\n\nAfter several years, those efforts were successful. As most of the market could receive channel 57 without issue, in October 1999, channel 69 became an affiliate of The WB with its own schedule. The station's callsign was changed to WMWB-LP (standing for \"Michiana's WB\").\n\nAfter Weigel purchased WYGN-LP (channel 25, now CW affiliate WCWW-LD) in 2002 from 3ABN, Weigel chose to move channel 69's schedule, call letters, and WB affiliation to that station, which was closer to the majority of the channels on the South Bend television dial. Channel 69 then adopted channel 25's former WRDY-LP call letters. It later changed its calls three more times: first to WAAT-LP in 2004, then briefly to WCWW-LP in March 2006.

[ { "content": "Summarize this article about Thespis, leaving enough information so I can sound like I know what I am talking about when his name comes up in class.\n\nThespis of Icaria is considered to be the first actor in the theatre. The English word “thespian,” which means actor, is derived from his name. Along with being an actor on the Ancient Greek stage, Thespis was also a celebrated playwright, stage director and producer. None of his plays are extant.\n\nHis innovations included connecting the chorus directly to the plot, developing the idea of the power of the protagonist in drama and replacing cruder dithyrambic makeup with more refined linen masks to delineate character.\n\nAristotle’s Take\nAccording to Aristotle, Thespis transformed the presentation of stories forever by emerging from the Greek chorus and acting an individual role. Greek tragedy is said to have been descendent from dithyrambic poetry, which were the choral presentations of Greek myth that included movement.\n\nWith Thespis, the chorus remained playing its role, while the first actor played various roles by switching masks. Greek tragedy would not add another principal actor to the stage until some 50 years later in the fifth century when playwright/actor Aeschylus first wrote tragedies to be performed by two actors and a chorus.\n\nPisistratus’ Command Performance\nWhen the head of state requests something, you do it. After Athenian military man and tyrant Pisistratus came to power in 560 BC, he instituted many artistic and cultural innovations. One thing he did was he expanded the offerings at the City of Dionysia by having plays performed. It’s said that Pisistratus asked Thespis and his troupe to perform in that initial drama festival in 534 BCE. Thespis did, and he won the first prize for best tragedy.\n\nSolon’s Criticism\nAccording to Plutarch, Athenian lawmaker and leader Solon went to see Thespis perform. It’s noted by Plutarch that this was when Thespis had first started acting and tragedy was a new form.\n\nSolon was elderly and living a leisurely life and in addressing Thespis after his performance he asked, “if he was not ashamed to tell so many lies before such a number of people; and Thespis replying that it was no harm to say or do so in a play, Solon vehemently struck his staff against the ground: ‘Ah,” he said, ‘if we honor and commend such play as this, we shall find it some day in our business.’”\n\nThat’s the first recorded criticism of an actor that we have on hand, and it was made, ironically, by a politician.\n\nThespis Center Stage\nAlthough we’ll never know if Thespis was the first actor on the stage, we are more certain that he was the first actor in scripted drama to appear on the Athenian stage. However, we can’t even be certain about this.\n\nWe do know that Thespis won first prize in 534 BC for best tragedy in the initial City of Dionysia festival and that he was influential enough to be written about by Aristotle in The Poetics, which is the first document we possess focusing on dramatic criticism. Whether or not he was actually the first actor on the stage doesn’t matter; Thespis was influential enough to be considered a groundbreaking force in the Ancient Greek theatre.", "role": "user" }, { "content": "In English, the word for actor, “thespian”, comes from the name of the person credited with being the first actor, Thespis of Icaria.

Previously, productions had consisted of the chorus presenting in unison Greek myths by using voice and movement. Thespis retained the chorus’ role while switching masks to represent a single lead character. It would take an additional 50 years for playwright Aeschylus to introduce a second actor.

No matter how much you prepare, you still worry about forgetting your lines or, worse yet, saying the wrong thing. Here are some tips on how to avoid common first-date pitfalls so you can put your best foot forward.\n\n1. Take the High Ground\nYour mother was right when she told you to \"mind your manners.\" The purpose behind courtesy and manners is to give respect to and show consideration for those around you. Doing small things like holding open a door, not cutting off your date in mid-sentence, and saying \"please\" and \"thank you\" go a long way to lowering the anxiety level for both of you. If you have a tendency to swear or use vulgar language, keep it in check. Bad language gives off bad vibes. \n\n2. Forget Your Ex\nSharing life experiences helps you learn about each other but keep your past relationships under wraps. No one wants to hear how your last date was crazy or why you only seem to attract weird-os. In the same vein, avoid saying anything that starts with \"all men\" or \"all women.\" This automatically lumps your date into a category you expressly don't like and make them wonder why they're wasting their time going out with you. If your date talks about their past relationships, do not judge or ask about their body count. If it makes you uncomfortable, tactfully change the subject and let it go.\n\n3. Don't Get Personal\nDon't ask how much your date weighs. Ever. If your date mentions they struggle with their weight, don't say anything negative or demeaning. If you must respond, keep it neutral by observing that many people have the same problem and leave it at that. Ditto asking your date their age. It's none of your business unless your date looks like they're under 18; then, by all means, ask. Avoid hot-button subjects like religion, race, politics, and social issues. And save the sex talk for later when the relationship is more established and intimate.\n", "role": "assistant" } ]

Her only complaint was growing next to an ugly cactus.\nEvery day, the beautiful rose would insult and mock the cactus on his looks, all while the cactus remained quiet. All the other plants nearby tried to make the rose see sense, but she was too swayed by her own looks.\nOne scorching summer, the desert became dry, and there was no water left for the plants. The rose quickly began to wilt. Her beautiful petals dried up, losing their lush color.\nLooking to the cactus, she saw a sparrow dip his beak into the cactus to drink some water. Though ashamed, the rose asked the cactus if she could have some water. The kind cactus readily agreed, helping them both through the tough summer, as friends.", "role": "user" }, { "content": "A proud rose in a desert mocks a humble cactus for his looks, despite the admonishments of nearby plants.
