Leasing a new 1,000-square-foot warehouse building;\n2. Purchasing the necessary equipment (ovens, mixers) and packaging (plastic bags, twist ties, labels) to make and package 1,000 cookies a day, which would be an increase from the 200 cookies we currently produce from our current kitchen;\n3. Paying for utilities (electricity, Internet access for POS systems, and online sales).\n\n5-Year Plan\n\nThe 5-year plan for Captain Cookies will see our company expanding from a single kitchen to a larger warehouse kitchen that will accommodate the increase in demand for our cookies. Within the first year, we plan to start a business relationship with a large international coffee chain that operates from Washington State; this coffee chain has agreed to purchase 10,000 cookies for a first purchase order for one of their local stores as a test market, with the agreement to buy an additional 100,000 cookies if that particular campaign is successful.\n\nWe plan to do approximately $500,000 in sales by year three.

Global warming has brought about serious consequences such as rising sea levels, extreme weather events, deforestation, and species loss. But we, as individuals, can slow down this destructive force by implementing sustainable actions within our communities.\n\nHere are six simple yet impactful actions to fight climate change locally:\n1. Reduce emissions: Use your car less, and opt for sustainable transportation like biking or public transit. Choose trains over airplanes for long-distance travel. Remember, even a tiny speed \n increases significantly raise CO2 emissions and expenses.\n2. Save energy: Be mindful of appliance labels, avoid standby mode, and adjust heating and air conditioning thermostats. Conserving energy benefits both the planet and your wallet.\n3. Embrace the 3 R's of sustainability: Reduce consumption, reuse items through second-hand markets and bartering, and recycle packaging and electronic waste. Recycling just half of your household garbage can save over 730 kilos of CO2 annually.\n4. Adopt a low-carbon diet: Reduce meat consumption (a major contributor to atmospheric pollution), prioritize local and seasonal food, and avoid excessive packaging and processed foods.\n5. Act against forest loss: Prevent fire hazards, choose sustainably sourced wood products, and plant trees.\n6. Make demands from the government: Advocate for renewable energy, promote transparent product labeling, support sustainable transportation, and encourage responsible waste management through recycling and reuse.\n7.

[ { "content": "Summarize the main points of this article in 5 sentences.\n\nHistory of Earth Day\nCelebrate Earth Day with these tips for helping our environment.\nBY ROSE DAVIDSON\nOur planet is an amazing place, but it needs our help to thrive! That’s why each year on April 22, more than a billion people celebrate Earth Day to protect the planet from things like pollution and deforestation. By taking part in activities like picking up litter and planting trees, we’re making our world a happier, healthier place to live.\nThe first Earth Day was celebrated in 1970, when a United States senator from Wisconsin organized a national demonstration to raise awareness about environmental issues. Rallies took place across the country and, by the end of the year, the U.S. government had created the Environmental Protection Agency. By 1990, Earth Day was an event celebrated by more than 140 countries around the globe.\n\nYou can celebrate and protect the planet at the same time. Check out these Earth Day ideas to help save the planet any time of year.\n\nBECOME A WASTE WARRIOR\n The number of garbage trucks Americans fill each year would stretch halfway to the moon. Toilet paper tubes, made from cardboard, take two months to decompose in a landfill. A plastic bottle sticks around for way longer—it can take over 450 years to break down! But instead of turning to the trash bin, you could turn these items into an awesome telescope or a flower planter. Before you throw something away, think about whether it can be recycled or repurposed. You can also limit waste by reducing the amount of things you buy. For example, check the library for that book you have to read before visiting the store.\n\nPLANT A TREE\nResearchers estimate roughly 15 billion trees in the world are cut down each year, so help offset that loss by planting a tree of your own. Trees absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen for people to breathe. They also provide shelter and food for animals such as squirrels and owls. Depending on where trees are planted, their shade can even reduce the need for air-conditioning in hotter months. How many more reasons do you need to go green?\n\nTURN OFF THE LIGHTS\nDoes that lamp really need to be on while the sun is out? Electricity doesn’t just happen—it has to be produced from things around us. A lot of times it comes from fossil fuels (such as coal, oil, or natural gas) that contribute to climate change. But electricity can also be made from renewable sources like wind, water, the sun, and even elephant dung! No matter where it’s coming from, try conserving electrical energy by using only what you need.\n\nLIMIT YOUR WATER USAGE\nTurning off the faucet when you brush your teeth can conserve up to eight gallons of water a day.\nIt might seem like it’s everywhere, but clean, drinkable water is a limited resource. In fact less than one percent of the water on Earth can be used by humans. (The rest is either too salty or too difficult to access.) Turning off the faucet when you brush your teeth can conserve up to eight gallons of water a day. To help save even more water, challenge yourself to take a shorter shower (but still get clean!).\n\nOFFER YOUR TIME\nWith a parent’s permission, volunteer to pick up trash at a nearby park, start a collection drive for recyclable items, or organize a screening of an environmentally themed movie. By getting involved and working with others, you’re not just helping the Earth—you’re making new friends too!\n\nSPREAD THE MESSAGE\nTalk to your friends and family members about what you’re doing and ask them to help. Need to get the conversation started? Get everyone together and reconnect with nature by taking one of our Get Outside challenges, or check out some other green tips you can share. The more people do, the better off our planet will be!\n\n", "role": "user" }, { "content": "Earth Day is celebrated every year by more than a billion people across the globe on April 22nd.

Here are some with noted health benefits:\n\n• Mint: Mint's powerful smell can help combat any undesirable coup fumes and also keep insects at bay. In addition, it can encourage new feather growth in chickens and has been said to have a calming effect. (Calmer hens equals more eggs!) It can even be served fresh, frozen, or dried, and obviously has many household uses, as well. Because mint is a prolific grower, it's safe to plant near the coup. If it spreads inside, the chickens can trim the excess without harming the overall supply.\n\n• Lavender: Lavender is calming for chickens and humans alike! In addition, it has a lovely smell that mixes well with mint and other herbs. This smell helps dispel pests. Lavender is also good for the circulatory system, increasing blood flow when hens might not be moving around as much (during winter, cold snaps, or when sitting on eggs.) The seed-shaped flowers of lavender are also enjoyable for chickens to forage, providing some mental exercise.\n\n• Oregano: Oregano's smell deters pests and mixes wonderfully with the basil and tomatoes in your garden (which chickens also love!) Oregano grows best when harvested often, so whole springs can be hung in your coup for the chickens to pick at and scavenge. It's a natural antibiotic that's full of vitamins and antioxidants. You can even add dried oregano into your feed for these benefits, although it won't be as potent as fresh sprigs. \n\n• Thyme: Thyme, like the others, is aromatic and mixes wonderfully with the smell of lavender. (Just check your soap scents!) Like oregano, thyme is a natural antibiotic that also aids in respiratory stability. Thyme spreads, like mint, so it's safe to plant near the coup and let the chickens control the excess. It can be hung in full sprigs like oregano or dried. \n\nAdditionally, any of these herbs can be soaked in vinegar and used as an all-natural pest control due to their aromatics.

Before anyone gets offended or defensive, as I said, these are my personal observations and hypotheses as someone who has traveled quite a bit, lived overseas, and interacted with people of various nationalities in both my personal and professional life.\n\n1. The United States is massive, so why leave?\nThe first thing that comes to mind is that Americans can basically go on any type of vacation they want without leaving their home country! The US is an ideal geographic location for a nation. You can wander the dramatic coastlines of the Pacific Northwest, traverse the desert out west, go skiing in the mountains, visit any one of America’s lakes or rivers for watersports, and have a stunning beach vacation in the Gulf of Mexico all without ever leaving the country. \n\n2. Americans don’t have the same work and career flexibility as other nationalities. \nEven though this is changing slightly with more remote work opportunities and hybrid work settings becoming more mainstream, generally speaking, Americans do not have the same flexibility related to their work schedule as Europeans, for example.\n\n3. Americans are simply more hesitant to visit other countries. \nI hate to use the word “scared,” but, I think that in America, we are raised to think that the world is a big, scary, and dangerous place. However, without getting political or anything like that, the US is actually rated 28th for homicide in 2023, which is higher than any other developed country and higher than many developing ones. I recognize that this is just one statistic, but one can’t deny that America is no longer the “safe” place it perhaps once was. \n\n4. Many Americans lack exposure to other cultures. \nThis isn’t anyone's fault, and it’s not detrimental or anything, it’s just an observation. Most of the rest of the world has American culture injected into their newsfeeds, music, television, and other forms of entertainment and popular culture. Whereas in America, we view all of our own culture and no one else’s for the most part. This tends to lower the baseline level of curiosity about the rest of the world for much of the American youth.

It usually occurs in one episode but may reoccur. There is diffuse inflammation in multiple areas including the brainstem, spinal cord, and subcortical cerebellum. Symptoms of ADEM typically include encephalopathy (Including confusion, irritability, and aggressive multiple sclerosis resulting in somnolence to coma) as well as multifocal deficits, fever, and meningismus (Headache, photophobia, and stiff neck). Imaging detecting ADEM will consist of large (Meaning greater than one to two centimeters), multifocal, bilateral, asymmetric, and hyperintense lesions. These lesions are typically seen in the supra/infratentorial white matter on MRI FLAIR or T2-weighted images but also may be seen in gray matter, especially the thalamus and basal ganglia.\n\nAcute Optic Neuritis (AON) is a retrobulbar inflammation of the optic nerve that occurs on an acute basis. It may be associated with various neurologic conditions including MS, ADEM, NMO, or lupus; it can also occur spontaneously. It is usually unilateral and presents with lessened visual acuity, desaturation of red color, visual field deficits, and afferent pupillary defect. Symptoms typically include headache, painful eye movements, dim vision, and central visual blurring, and may produce complete loss of vision. About imaging, an MRI will frequently show gadolinium enhancement of the optic nerve.\n\nTransverse Myelitis is another condition that normally presents as a CIS but may be connected with MS or ADEM. It involves spinal cord dysfunction regularly owing to inflammatory lesion(s). It generates unilateral or bilateral sensory and/or motor deficits such as weakness, sphincter dysfunction, and paresthesias. It can sometimes present more severely, including urinary retention and paraplegia. When imaged, it will show gadolinium-enhancing lesions spreading over one or more segments on MRI.\n\nNeuromyelitis Optica (NMO) and related neuromyelitis optical spectrum disorder (NMOSD) are inflammatory conditions principally involving the spinal cord and optic nerve in the central nervous system. Features include postrema clinical syndrome, acute myelitis, optic neuritis, acute brainstem syndrome, symptomatic cerebral syndrome with NMOSD-typical lesions of the brain, and acute diencephalic clinical syndrome or symptomatic narcolepsy with NMOSD-typical diencephalic MRI lesions. NMO occurs more often in non-Caucasians, particularly Asians. When considering NMO and NMOSD, it is important to rule out Sjogrens, SLE, sarcoid, or other vasculitis.

[ { "content": "Summarize these three paragraphs. Here is the source that I am using.\n\nMany cattle producers spend a large amount of money each year to control undesired plants (weeds and brush). Producers incur the primary cost by purchasing herbicides and hiring equipment and operators to clear brush and reclaim lands that have become unable to support cattle at an acceptable production level. In order for today's producers to have a chance at making an almighty dollar, every acre of ground capable of being productive must be used. Enter goats.\n\nGoats possess a unique characteristic that separates them from almost all other types of livestock. They would rather eat brush and weeds than grass because they are browsers, whereas cattle are grazers. Browse makes up approximately 60 percent of a goat's diet but only about 10 to 15 percent of a cow's.\n\nMy family has a goatherd. I remember the day we first turned 200 goats out into a 30-acre \"pasture\" that was 25 percent impenetrable because of thick scrub oak and briars. The remaining 75 percent was overgrazed and had an alarming amount of weeds (forbs). The goats hit that wall of brush at a dead run and stripped every leaf off of every stem and branch. It amazed me. We had estimated that it would take three months for the herd to eat all of the brush, briars, and weeds. Six weeks later, those 30 acres looked like a golf course with a few sticks where the short brush used to be, and not a weed in sight. The goats had made a browse line in the taller brush, too (figure 1). It gets better. During the winter the goats wouldn't eat the hay we put out until they had cleaned up every dead leaf that had fallen off the trees. Simply amazing.", "role": "user" }, { "content": "Controlling undesired plants by purchasing herbicides and hiring equipment operators is an expensive endeavor for cattle producers to maintain usable land for their herds.

This group of Cardinals became the first team in the Mid-American Conference history to win two consecutive MAC regular season conference championships as well as back-to-back conference tournament titles. The 1990 Ball State basketball team also became the first team in the MAC to reach the Sweet 16 of the NCAA tournament in its current format. The Cardinals lost in the Sweet 16 to the eventual national champions UNLV Runnin' Rebels, 69–67.[6]\n\nThe team was led by many transfer players and two of Coach Hunsaker’s key transfers, starting forwards Paris McCurdy and Curtis Kidd, were high school teammates.[7] They both signed to play their college ball at the University of Arkansas-Little Rock. However, because of disciplinary reasons, the two had to find a new school. Former coach Rick Majerus gave them a second chance, and they came through. The two became the key assets to Ball States Sweet 16 run.[8]\n\nThe Cardinals finished the regular season at 26-7 before heading to the NCAA tournament. The Cardinals were a 12 seed and began the tournament at the Huntsman Center in Salt Lake City. They upset the Oregon State Beavers in what was star point guard Gary Payton’s last game in college.[9] Ball State then had to play the Louisville Cardinals next. They ended up defeating Louisville late in the game by a final score of 62–60. Meanwhile, in Muncie, fans stormed the village (the center of Ball State's off campus social scene) after the win. Ball State advanced to face the top-seeded UNLV Runnin' Rebels. Ball State shut down one of the best offenses in college basketball history and had a chance to win it in the final seconds.[10] Down by two, the Cards made a deep pass to tie or take the lead but it was picked off.[11]", "role": "user" }, { "content": "1.

Hot Stone Massage \n\nHot stone massage involves using flat stones, heated with hot water, to relieve muscle pain and relax muscle tension. The kneading motions around the stones are similar to Swedish massage. \n\n4. Aromatherapy Massage \n\nStudies have shown significant links between human emotions and the olfactory senses, which aromatherapy massage utilizes. This type of massage uses natural essential oils to stimulate the senses and relax the mind while kneading motions relax the muscles. \n\nSome popular, relaxing scents employed in a typical aromatherapy massage session include lavender, lemon, peppermint, orange, or eucalyptus.\n\n5. Trigger Point Massage \n\nThere are pressure points all over your body that, when pressed in the right ways, can relieve pain and chronic health problems. Trigger point massage is the manipulation of your body’s pressure points to relieve specific issues, such as sinus congestion, stomach pain, and headaches. \n\nWhile it’s possible to find relief through massage at home, massage therapy is best practiced by specialists with knowledge of human anatomy.

Participate in Hobbies: Whether you love to cook, adore animals, or are into fitness, there's an appropriate hobby out there for you and it's an excellent way to meet new people. Check out groups in your local area online or neighborhood groups and find the courage to head along to one. There, you'll know you have things in common with the people and it'll be easy to strike up a conversation.\n2. Use Apps: Some apps, like Bumble, offer a friendly setting where you can meet people on there and get chatting for a bit before meeting up. Make sure to always meet first in a public place and practice safety.\n3. Volunteer: If you're passionate about a cause and have some spare time on your hands, consider volunteering for a local charity. You'll meet like-minded people that way.\n4. Take Educational Classes: Educational classes are available in most places for adults, so look up one that appeals to you. You get to learn new skills while also meeting new people. \n5. Use Social Media: Facebook usually has groups available for your city, and some forums are also location-specific. Becoming active on these can lead you to meet people in your city, though you should be careful and safe when meeting up, just like you would with apps too.\n\nMaking friends in a new place can be daunting, but it's doable!", "role": "assistant" } ]

Furthermore, Ziploc bags are very cheap in bulk and can be found at most grocery and convenience stores. \n\nFirewood - You can sometimes find packs of firewood to buy for cheap at gas stations and convenience stores.
