He was having a difficult time trying to take his mind off the fact that just the day before he had missed his opportunity to go on a trip with his friends to Las Vegas, and now he was stuck at home, alone.\n\n\"Well,\" he thought, \"at least I can save some money for Christmas.\" Tex wandered into the dense forest, a place he has been to many times before, and took a seat on his favorite tree stump. He took a deep breath of fresh air into his lungs and exhaled the stress out of his body. As he did this, he spotted the flapping of tiny wings in his periphery; a beautiful, orange monarch butterfly had landed on a stump right in front of him, resting its wings upon landing. The sun beamed down onto the orange and black of its form, and its antennae prominently jutted out from its head.\n\nTex became mesmerized by the sight of the butterfly and decided to approach it to get a better look. The butterfly, unfazed by the approaching human, flapped its wings gently to show off its vibrant, colorful design. \n\nTex became so enamored by the butterfly that he grabbed it and put it in his cupped hands to take back with him to his house. When he got back, Tex opened his hands and discovered that they were empty; the butterfly had vanished!\n\nAs he looked around his immediate area hoping to find the butterfly, Tex found a beautiful woman standing behind him. The woman was dressed in a white gown, but had the wings of a butterfly; the wings were glistening in the sun as if they were sprinkled with silver glitter. Her hair was as white as wool, and her face bore a subtle smile that comforted him and eased his surprise at her presence.\n\n\"I will grant you three wishes,\" the woman spoke gently, \"and then after that, I must leave. Choose wisely, friend.\"\n\nTex, taking a moment to think, put his head down and contemplated the gravity of this situation before finally looking up at the woman and making his decision. \"I want to hang out with you for the day!\" The woman nodded in the affirmative, and then replied, \"We can do that, I guess!\"", "role": "assistant" } ]

One day he decided to see for himself, so he climbed out the kitchen window and went for a walk.\n\nAs Pep strolled through the neighboring park, he felt the warm sun on his crust and the cool breeze blowing through his curls of cheese.

The remote control would be good to have because I don't want to have to keep programming the recliner's massage functions through the touch buttons on the armrest, but I think the most important item that needs to be supplied is the power cord. Without the power cord, I have a $2,000 recliner that doesn't massage me.\n\nI am wondering what options you can provide me to make this right. The only options I see are either I get a power cord from your company through the mail (which will probably take another week to receive) or I can return the recliner to your company. Returning the recliner would be a hassle because it is such a large item. However, if the latter is the option you will have to provide a new box, shipper, and postage so I can send it back to you, and that will probably cost you several hundred dollars. I think the best option would be to mail me a new power cord, as well as a hex tool and remote control, and I will have to wait a week to assemble my recliner.\n\nPlease advise me on what you can do to fix this problem.

Rome - this would be a great place to visit as it hosts a lot of landmarks that are well worth exploring and is regarded as the best place in Italy. It's highly recommended to visit the Coliseum and view some of Michelangelo's greatest works inside the Sistine Chapel. I recommend visiting a café or trattoria on Piazza Navona to indulge in some food and drinks when you get hungry.\n2. Florence - The location is situated in Tuscan Valley and dazzles travelers with the old-world avenues leading up to picturesque piazzas. While there, make sure to visit Santa Maria del Fiore Cathedral, which is located in the Piazza del Duomo. Florence is also considered one of the most ideal trips to take in the Chianti wine region.\n3. Amalfi Coast - an amazing journey filled with excitement as you navigate through the hairpin turns on the narrow roads. In this region, there are over 30 miles of coastline that 13 colorful seaside towns reside on. This area is great to relax on the beach and indulge in the multiple Michelin-starred restaurants along the coast.\n4. Venice - Venice is a beautiful city with canals running throughout the city that carry water taxis, buses, and even a fleet of famous gondolas. If you want something more relaxing on your visit, seek out the smaller streets and canals. It is also recommended to visit Rialto Bridge and tour the grand St. Mark’s Basilica. \n5. Cinque Terre - this is located on northern Italy's Ligurian coast, and it is made up of five picturesque towns named Riomaggiore, Monterosso, Vernazza, Corniglia, and Manarola. If you want to visit a vineyard, it is recommended to go to Manarola, as it boasts scenic vineyards, olive groves, and a centuries-old bell tower. If you're looking to enjoy some landmarks, I'd recommend Vernazza, as it is regarded as one of Italy's most beautiful villages and is known for picture-perfect houses and a medieval castle.", "role": "assistant" } ]

[ { "content": "Can you suggest some recruiting tips for finding the right job candidates?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "Ok, here are some useful recruiting tips that will help your company find the best new talent for the job. \n\n1. Make Use of Employee Referrals - One of the most highly effective hiring strategies for today's growing companies is using employment referrals. This is a process that uses a person's professional network to find the best possible talent. Think about improving your employee referral program by switching to a stipend system for successful hires. When you choose to create a culture of respect toward these referrals, you can give your own networking connections a boost as well. \n\n2. Create a Positive Experience for Candidates - The way your prospective new talent feels about the hiring process will be based on the interactions they have with your hiring manager and anyone else they talk to at your company. Their experience may also include other interactions that take place without another person involved such as the online job application process or automated responses to their application submission. \n\n3. Consider Your Internal Recruits - Sometimes recruiting new talent internally for different positions can be more rewarding than hiring new employees. Hiring internally will reduce the amount of time it takes to hire, onboard, or train a new worker. It also cuts down on additional costs for advertising on job boards or paying for background checks. Plus, when you hire someone internally, you are typically dealing with a smaller amount of candidates, which will save you time during the screening and interviewing process. \n\n4. Make Diversity Your Priority - Having a team with diverse ideas, experiences, and backgrounds can increase your company's effectiveness and drive more innovation for your brand. Ensuring diversity is prioritized during the hiring process is a great way to guarantee a broad representation of staffing, which will help you work toward the best possible outcomes for workplace equity. \n\n5. Use a Rubric - One cornerstone of the hiring process is clear expectations. Using an interview rubric, or a checklist to analyze candidates may communicate transparency within your hiring process and make sure that the most qualified candidates will apply for the job. An interview rubric is a scoring tool that defines expectations and assists in determining who to interview, who you should call to interview again, and who to offer the new job to. This form of the rubric can be used to objectively measure both tangible and intangible details like relevant experience and demeanor. ", "role": "assistant" } ]

[ { "content": "What are 6 things to consider when building a personal budget? Please list them out, and provide a detailed explanation of each. ", "role": "user" }, { "content": "Sure thing! To create your personal budget, follow these six steps. \n\n1. Calculate your net income. \nStart by creating your net income. Net income is the money you earn after all taxes and fees have been accounted for; it is the money that figuratively ends up in your pocket at the end of each month. This is important as the foundation of your budget. It determines how much you have available to allocate to your expense categories. A common mistake people make when calculating income is to use the gross total before taxes and pension contributions. This means they anticipate more income than they actually receive and thus leads to an inaccurate budget. To find your net income, you can look closely at some historic payslips or use one of the many online calculators. \n\n2. Track your spending.\nThe next step is to track and categorize your spending habits for 1-3 months. I would advise three months to ensure any quarterly payments are included; however, one month is enough to get a sense of spending habits in most areas. This is important as it will give you an idea of where your money goes each month and give you a solid base to create a monthly budget. To do this, you can write down each transaction you make throughout a period and assign it a category. Use an Excel spreadsheet to make things easier for you. Most banks will allow you to download a CSV file that includes all your transactions for a pre-determined period. Once downloaded, you can write a category next to each transaction. \n\n3. Set attainable goals.\nThe next thing you need to account for is the goals you have. Ensure that your goals are attainable and set a period for them also. Common goals are to pay down debt you have previously accrued or establish savings such as a three-month emergency fund. These goals should primarily be short-term and achievable within 1 to 3 years. It is ok to establish longer-term goals, but for your monthly budget, the short-term is what we are most interested in. Make sure these are motivating goals, as these will help to keep you on track when you want to disregard your budget. \n\n4. Make your plan. \nThis is where you start to formulate a budget. You have your recorded transactions and your income. Look at your recorded expenses and determine for each category what a good budget would be for each month. For some of your fixed costs, this will be obvious. Your rent, for example, will not vary month on month. Your variable costs, such as eating out, may vary monthly, so set a middle ground you are comfortable with. You will need to make separate categories that consider your goals, for instance, a vacation category where you aim to save $100 monthly. All your budgeted expenses totaled should fall within your net income number. If it doesn't, you will have to cut back somewhere. \n\n5. Stick to your budget. \nTake great care to stick within your budget. Your budget guarantees reaching those goals and living within your means. Continue to track your spending to ensure you are remaining within budget. If you see certain categories are almost fully spent and it is only the 9th of the month, this should help you to stop spending in that category. If you overspend in one category, consider reducing spending in another to stay on track. Use your goals as motivation to stick with it.\n\n6. Review regularly. \nA budget is only as good as when you do it, so maintain and update it as necessary. A pay raise at work will mean your budget can be adjusted to show more income and more capacity to save or spend. It's always good to review your budget at least quarterly, but the best budgets are updated monthly to account for the variables of life, such as birthdays, events, and other one-off occasions. It's unlikely that your December (Christmas) budget is the same as your budget for February. Use a forward-thinking approach to maintain and update your budget. There is no harm in reducing your budget in one month, so you can increase it in another so long as combined, they are within your income. ", "role": "assistant" } ]

The Shade Gallery, however, is a significant space containing static and modular walls that can adapt to a variety of exhibitions.

Obliq Art was established in 2012 intending to showcase exceptional contemporary paintings, photography and mixed media created by local Arizona artists.\n\nThese options are some of the most popular options for modern art, but there is more where that came from.

He had followed her every day, trying to catch her attention, but she never noticed him. She seemed to be lost in her own thoughts, oblivious to his admiration.

He wanted to be like them, he wanted to share his joy and passion with her.\n\nBut she did not change. She remained cold and aloof, even when the sun shone brightly and the breeze caressed her face.

However, there isn't a lot of sound research to back these claims. It's also important to note that some brands are more effective at blocking blue light than others. \n\nFor those that suffer from migraines and light sensitivity, a specific light-filtering (not just blue light) lens may be beneficial. For the majority of people that just want to reduce digital eye strain, blue light glasses may not do much. People are better off monitoring their screen time and following the 20-20-20 rule according to experts. This involves looking at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds every 20 minutes. \n\nWhere did the idea come from that we need to be blocking blue light you ask? The biggest source of blue light is from the sun, but when we say blue light, we're usually referring to artificial blue light from digital screens. In an evolving digital world, people are spending more and more time in front of screens. This is associated with some health problems like eye strain, headaches, and sleep disturbances.\n\nSome scientists hypothesized the role of blue light in these issues. An in vitro study (meaning in cells not in real humans) alluded to the fact that blue light harms ocular cells. A research study in mice illustrated that as exposure to blue light increased, instances of cataracts increased. Other recent research concluded that blue light glasses did not help mitigate the effects of screen exposure compared to a placebo. Research into this area is ongoing, but there is no undisputed answer at this point in time. \n\nThere is slightly stronger research into the effects of blue light on melatonin. Some anecdotal evidence suggests that wearing blue light glasses before sleep may improve sleep quality. \n\nTo summarize, if you are looking to reduce digital eye strain, blue light glasses should not be the sole solution. If you feel that they help, by all means, invest in a good pair from a reputable brand. The best ways to reduce eye strain though is to remain at arm's length from your screen, follow the 20-20-20 rule, and try and reduce your overall screen time. ", "role": "assistant" } ]

They add good flavor and absorb the taste of the beef stew while also maintaining their own shape and texture with long cook times.\n2. Carrots. These healthy root vegetables are a classic addition to beef stew because they add more substance to the dish, provided they are cut to a larger size so they don't lose their texture.\n3. Fennel. In addition to growing tender within a stew, fennel also adds a wonderful aromatic element that will kick any beef stew up a notch.\n4. Cauliflower. This unique vegetable makes a lovely substitution for the more traditional bean addition to the stew, adding a milkiness and good flavor.\n5. Kale. Unlike delicate greens that will wither with heat, sturdy kale maintains its texture and helps stretch beef stew for more delicious servings.", "role": "assistant" } ]
