You’ll need someone to help you, though. Be sure to include doors and windows. These measurements can really come in handy when you're out looking for new window coverings.\n\nMeasure a room, then write down the measurements on a sheet of paper and put them in your diagram later so you can make sure to plug the numbers into the right spots. If you have a large house or a number of areas to measure, you can purchase a handy gadget called a Sonic Measuring Device. These come in all shapes and price ranges and usually have a built-in laser. You can spend from $20 to over $100 on this gadget, so use some common sense. \n\nIf you know you’ll be doing a lot of home improvement projects, then go ahead and invest in a good one. They make measuring any room or garage easy work, and you don’t need a helper. Simply hold the device up against one wall in a location where the laser beam can hit a wall on the opposite side, then press the button. The display will show you exactly how far it is in feet or metric units. \n\nMost of us only have a certain amount of time and money to get a job done, so it’s important to maximize your budget but also to get the most done during your allotted time frame.

These fascinating creatures inhabit tropical and subtropical waters around the world, so they're fairly common. Manta rays have a wingspan that can exceed 23 feet and can weigh over 5,000 pounds. As filter feeders, these rays use their large mouths to capture plankton and small fish. Manta rays are gentle giants and do not pose a threat to humans. \n\nManta rays have sharp heads, triangular pectoral fins, and horn-shaped cephalic fins located on both sides of their mouths, giving them the nickname, \"devil fish\". They are known to display a positive interaction with divers and are pretty inquisitive about their presence. Intriguingly, Mantas evolved from bottom-dwelling stingrays, eventually developing more wing-like pectoral fins. Mantas move through the water by the wing-like movements of these fins as well. They track down their prey by using visual and olfactory senses.\n\nAs of recent, Mantas have faced significant threats from overfishing and habitat degradation, with human activities leading to the destruction of their natural habitats. Efforts to safeguard manta rays and their environments are underway, including the establishment of marine protected areas and the implementation of fishing regulations. Ecotourism has emerged as an approach to promoting conservation by providing economic benefits to local communities. Therefore, it is crucial for marine biologists and environmentalists to continue educating themselves about these captivating creatures. Thank you.", "role": "assistant" } ]

Lock the thimble - The thimble lock should be set when the micrometer is within proximity to the object. You should still have enough room to adjust the spindle if necessary.

This will build trust and assign a familiar face to your brand online. \n- Saturday - Share a post from another pet-themed business that aligns with your values.

Appliances and equipment \nAlthough there is no single cause that leads to an accidental house fire, there are some common factors that can lead to the accidental eruption of a fire. Appliances and other electrical equipment are some of the leading causes of house fires. Any device that generates heat such as a stove, clothes dryer, or a space heater, or one that will heat up after extended use such as a computer, is a potential fire hazard for your home. Additionally, any cooking vessels left unattended are another frequent cause of house fires. \n\n2. Candles \nEvery candle will have a warning label that states \"A burning candle should never be left unsupervised\". However many people will light a scented candle and forget about it until they start to burn uncontrollably. Candle fires are most likely to occur on Christmas Day, New Year's Day, and Christmas Eve. \n\n3. Holiday decor \nCandles are not the only culprit that can lead to a tragic fire during the holiday season. Christmas tree lights and other decorations are also to blame. Live trees that are not watered properly and left to dry out are another easy target for a fire caused by the hot lights wrapped around them. \n\n4. Electrical systems and devices \nAny device you own that uses electric power can start a fire and overheated lighting equipment is at the very top of that list. Questionable electrical work within a home, poorly connected circuits, loose wires, and improper grounding all pose a serious threat to homeowners. \n\n5. Smoking \nAnother common cause of house fire is due to negligence while smoking. People will often fall asleep while smoking cigarettes, and by doing so they can set their chairs, bed, or couch on fire. This can easily result in a fatality and cause the entire house to burn down. Another avoidable issue related to smoking is caused by discarding ashes that are still hot into the trash where they could ignite. \n\n6. Chemicals and gasses \nHome fires can also be caused by sources of propane gas and natural gas. A sudden spark combined with a small leak could create a combustible situation. Improperly mixed household chemicals can also trigger combustion, which is why it's important to conduct this form of activity outside the home. \n\n7. Lightning \nLightning fires will most commonly occur during the summer months when afternoon or early evening storms are at their highest. Homes that are in heavily wooded areas are extremely vulnerable to lightning strikes and could set the surrounding area on fire as well. ", "role": "assistant" } ]

The only thing disrupting this gigantic clash is the ring of the sliding doors opening as people enter and leave the convenience store that these two warriors are next to. \n\nTwo hours later and the samurai are starting to get exhausted.

It’s not against the law, but it is against social protocol.\n\nBut most of the decisions we make in our lives, day to day, moment to moment, are gray-level decisions. In these instances, there is no clear right or wrong. I once made lasagna and someone told me I’d made it incorrectly.

What is the worst that could happen if you choose one option or another?

[ { "content": "Can you summarize the Scarcity Principle in economics from this article?\n\nWhat is the Scarcity Principle? The scarcity principle is a theory in economics that maintains that scarcity in the supply of a product and high demand for that product cause a discrepancy in the supply and demand equilibrium. According to this principle, a scarce or rare goods often has a higher value and this results in a mismatch between demand and supply. In order to reach an equilibrium between supply and demand, the scarcity principle offers that the price of a rare product be increased until the equilibrium is reached. Hence, only individual with higher purchase power will be able to afford a scarce commodity, denying others the chance to obtain the product. How does the Scarcity Principle Work? Oftentimes, market equilibrium is distorted as a result of a mismatch in the level of supply and demand. For instance, when there is more demand for a product than the number that is supplied, equilibrium cannot be reached. When there is a higher demand for a product, it means the product is scarce, for equilibrium to be reached, the scarcity principle suggests that the price of the scarce good be increased so that the levels of supply and demand will match.

After a long and arduous season, they have emerged victorious as World Series Champions of 2023 in a stunning upset victory over the St. Louis Cardinals. \n\nThe Mariners had a difficult road to the championship, beginning the season 12-16 and fighting off numerous early injuries. By the time June came around, the team did as well, thanks to their talented roster and fierce determination. Led by star pitcher George Kirby and rising star outfielder Jarred Kelenic, the Mariners fought their way through the playoffs, winning series after series and never giving up hope.\n\nThe World Series itself was one of the best in years. While most prognosticators considered the Cardinals to be the better team on paper, Seattle showed themselves up to the challenge. After St. Louis won the first two games at home, Seattle showed its heart in winning 3 straight in Seattle. St. Louis forced a game 7 with a dramatic extra-inning win, but in the end, Seattle's bats were just too much. Cal Raleigh and Kelenic both homered in the deciding game, an 8-4 Seattle win that was never in doubt.\n\nAs the final out was recorded and the players rushed the field in celebration, Mariners fans across the city erupted in cheers and tears of joy. For the fans who suffered through decades of mediocrity (or worse) at both the Kingdome and T-Mobile Park, it was a moment they had been waiting for their entire lives.\n\nFor the players themselves, the victory was a chance to exhale and celebrate with the city. \"It was never about talent. We knew we had this in us all along,\" said Kirby, who had dominant starts in games 1, 4, and 7 of the series. \"We just had to stay focused, play the game, and never stop believing in ourselves.\"\n\nThe Mariners' 2023 World Series championship will go down in Seattle sports lore alongside the Seahawks' win in Super Bowl XLVIII. These two moments are pretty clearly the greatest in Seattle sports history. For now, the team and their fans throughout the Pacific Northwest will wait to judge where they fit in that bigger picture. For now, the party will come first.", "role": "assistant" } ]
[ { "content": "Give me a brief synopsis of what happened in a single paragraph:\n\n\"Hyundai is putting a relatively quick end to a class-action lawsuit over a viral TikTok car theft challenge. The automaker has agreed to pay a settlement worth up to $200 million to compensate roughly 9 million US Hyundai and Kia owners. About $145 million is earmarked for out-of-pocket losses for customers whose cars were stolen or damaged and weren't covered by insurance. The companies also say they'll cover insurance deductibles, higher insurance premiums and other related expenses. The settlement covers a wide range of Hyundai and Kia cars released between the 2011 and 2022 model years, including the Elantra, Santa Fe and Tucson. The 2011-2014 Genesis Coupe is also included. The marques will pay up to $6,125 per owner for the total loss of a car, and up to $3,375 for damage to the vehicle and any personal property.\n\nThe brands have already released a dealership-installed update that improves theft prevention for certain models (such as the 2017-2020 Elantra, 2015-2019 Sonata and 2020-2021 Venue) by disabling push-to-start and lengthening the alarm. Other vehicles that can receive updates will get theirs by June. As part of the settlement, Hyundai and Kia will also offer up to $300 to help drivers buy anti-theft devices. They say they've already provided \"tens of thousands\" of free steering wheel locks to affected customers, and have provided AAA insurance options for customers who had trouble maintaining coverage.\n\nThe \"Kia Challenge\" emerged in mid-2022 after \"Kia Boyz\" posted TikTok videos showing how they used USB cables to hot-wire many Hyundai and Kia cars without anti-theft immobilizers. Thefts of those makes surged not long after, and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration got involved after at least 14 crashes and eight deaths were linked to the viral clips. The settlement heads off a high-profile court battle with owners, although it won't necessarily eliminate lawsuits from cities like Cleveland, San Diego and Seattle. It also underscores the cost of security issues in the social media era — it doesn't take much for a weakness to become public knowledge.\"\n", "role": "user" }, { "content": "The central point of this article is the following:\n\nA viral TikTok car challenge ended badly for Hyundai, which ended up having to pay up to $200 million in a settlement.

Many people haven't done any research to help them make their choice of their favorite fruit but are always driven by either the taste, look, or previous experience eating the fruit. However, I believe the best fruit everyone should make favorite fruit is the lemon fruit. The purpose of this essay is to lay out the reasons for my claim. \n\nThe first reason why everyone should consider lemon as their favorite fruit is because of its health benefits. Often used in traditional remedies to sort several health issues, this citrus fruit contains Vitamin C and other antioxidants that are so beneficial to the body. It helps fight compounds in the body which mop up free radicals, damage the body's cells, and lead to diseases like cancer. \n\nAnother reason for considering lemon fruit as a favorite fruit is because of the flavonoids that it has. Flavonoids have antibacterial, anticancer, and antidiabetic properties that help the body stay safe. You can also use it to flavor up your food, from boiling water to make tea to using it in your food recipes. Its benefits are endless.\nBecause of all of these reasons, I'd love to recommend everyone consider lemons as their favorite food. ", "role": "assistant" } ]

[ { "content": "Rewrite this so that a secular lay person who is already skeptical about Buddhism could understand what is being said without them knowing this comes from a dharma teacher.\n\n Obstacles in meditation are not a problem, they are the path to finding freedom amidst it all. – Jack Kornfield\n\nNo matter what form of meditation we practice, sooner or later inner obstacles will arise. They arise naturally when we stop our busy lives and bring attention to our inner experience. On first becoming quiet we will can encounter the unfinished business we carry. There may be untended longings, unacknowledged grief, unrequited hopes, unexpressed love or our underlying fears and hurts. And as we get quieter still we can find ourselves facing the mystery of our own mortality, of death. In all spiritual traditions as attention is given to these problems, our understanding and compassion deepens, for it is through these that the path often unfolds. As my teacher Ajahn Chah used to say, “Where do you learn the most, when times are easy or when times are hard?”\n\nIn the Christian mystical tradition, The Dark Night of the Soul by St. John of the Cross talks about the periods of loneliness, fear, and doubt that one goes through after the initial awakenings into the light. Evagrius, a fourth-century Christian monk who lived in the Egyptian desert with the Christian Desert Fathers wrote a text describing the demons that come to people who go into the desert to undertake a meditation practice. These include the demons of pride, the demons of fear, the demons of lust, the noonday demon of laziness and so forth. In Zen, there are descriptions of further kinds of obstacles that arise in intense meditation. Practitioners might experience makyo. These are hallucinations involving vision, hearing, smell, or other senses.\n\nHow does one understand and work with these difficulties? Buddhist teachings say begin right where you are, with the most common hindrances such as physical pain and restlessness, anger, doubt and fear. Instead of resisting or trying to get rid of them, which usually keeps them stuck, you can name and acknowledge them kindly and surround them with mindfulness and compassion. Make space for them and soften around them. Breathe and become a loving witness. Invite them to open and show you their dance. As you let them open without resistance, they soften or disperse or transform into other energies. But not always. Sometimes they become quite intense for a time, but without resistance and a patient curiosity they will eventually change. They always do. And with this practice you learn a deep trust. You find that awareness can hold it all. You become the spacious awareness itself. Then as meditation deepens beyond the everyday level, even the more extreme, delightful or terrifying energies, visions, mental states, and difficulties become workable.\n\nTo find freedom requires a steadying of the heart, a trust in attention, a willingness to be present for it all. Like the sign in a Las Vegas casino that says, “You must be present to win”, the very obstacles that arise become your place to awaken.\n", "role": "user" }, { "content": "Obstacles we encounter when trying to better ourselves and our mindset are not a problem; they are a path to finding freedom.\n\nSooner or later, we will encounter obstacles in therapy, self-reflection, or while trying to stay in the present moment of our lives. Obstacles are bound to arise when we try to slow down our busy lives and think more critically about ourselves and our inner experience. We might discover some unfinished business our thoughts wander to. We might feel longing, grief, unexpressed love, underlying fear and hurt, or unrequited hopes. And when we really stop to analyze what is going on in our thoughts, we may even face the mystery of our own mortality. Anxious thoughts about death may be buried in there. But as we deepen our attention to these aspects of our thoughts, our understanding and compassion for ourselves and others can deepen, too. We forget we can learn the most from something that was hard, rather than something that was easy. \n\nWhen we begin a journey of therapy or deep self-reflection to heal the wounds in our minds, it is not uncommon for loneliness, fear, and doubt to emerge. We may also be forced to confront our pride, lust, laziness, and so on. Instead of resisting those feelings and moods or being surprised when they occur, we can name and acknowledge what they are in a kind way and look at them both objectively for what they are and also with compassion. Witness them, rather than feeling like you have to be subject to their will. If you don't encounter them with resistance, your mind and body can relax and the thoughts and feelings may begin to disperse. In this process, you are shifting your mindset from one that feels afflicted by these thoughts and emotions to one that looks at them more objectively, like studying clouds and watching them pass by. Sometimes, the emotions are very intense, and we won't make progress over night. But with diligent patience and curiosity, change will eventually happen. What you are really doing in this process is learning trust. You are trusting that these feelings can arise and that it is going to be okay. You are becoming more skillful about what thoughts and emotions drive your actions and mood, and which ones don't need to, including the most extreme, delightful, and terrifying thoughts. \n\nIn confronting the wounds of our mind and lives, we also discover freedom. But to do so, we must trust the process, remain patient, and be willing to investigate the deepest darkest parts of our mind. They can only be healed if we learn to look at and work with them.", "role": "assistant" } ]
