RAMON CABRERA ARGUELLES, D.D., S.T.L. (born November 12, 1944) was a Filipino cleric who served as Archbishop of the Metropolitan Archdiocese of Lipa in the province of Batangas on the island of Luzon, Philippines from 2004 to 2017. Prior to his appointment as archbishop, he was an auxiliary bishop of the same diocese, appointed to that position on November 26, 1993.

Arguelles first appeared in the news for urging Filipinos to boycott Madonna's concert[1] and for calling for prayers for President Ferdinand Marcos after the latter's burial at the Heroes' Cemetery was permitted by the Supreme Court. On February 2, 2017, Pope Francis accepted his resignation as Archbishop of Lipa and appointed Bishop of Daet Gilbert Garcera as Arguelles' successor.[2]

Pope John Paul II appointed him an auxiliary bishop for Manila on Nov. 27, 1993 and he was consecrated at St. Peter's Basilica in Rome. He was appointed head of the military ordinariate of the Philippines on Aug. 25, 1995 and served until 2005.

I don’t know how much longer this search can go on. I am in dire need of repairs and all the parts I need are damaged or not compatible. Time is slowly dwindling away and soon I am going to be another heap of metal populating this ever growing “graveyard” for robots like me.

Finding replacement parts can become an aggravating chore for a robot who has become unwanted by consumers interested only in making their lives easier and “less complicated.” My sole purpose was to provide entertainment and company to the children whose parents could afford me. I was built to be able to respond to children’s commands. I could even talk back if I was asked a question that I was programmed to answer. I was built to move around on a wheel that resembled a small bicycle tire. I guess my creators figured that it would provide more excitement for the younger generation to have such a unique way of moving around.

But, as technology advances, newer models are created that provide not only entertainment for kids but also luxuries for adults. No longer do people have to do their own cooking or clean their own houses. There are models built for just about anything a person could desire; work, entertainment, pleasure, even crime if bought from the right seller.

Along with these advances in robot technology come cheaper prices tags. More people can afford these luxuries of a robot companion. There is just no place for a robot like me in the world today. I mean, I’m built like a unicycle. I can’t get around like the models built with two or even three legs. It takes a considerable amount of time and effort just for me to climb a set of stairs. Along with the handicap of transportation, I have only six fingers, three on both hands. Gripping things can become quite complicated for me at times. Simply put, I’m an antique.

The only thing keeping me going is the knowledge I was programmed with to repair myself. As long as I have the parts, I can fix myself. But, I’m not alone in this “graveyard.” This place is populated by robots, like myself, that no longer serve a purpose in this world. Over time, our circuits and parts grow old and become useless and since we can’t heal like our creators and owners, we must replace. The older we get, the less likely we will be able to find the parts we need. Eventually, time will do its thing and our circuits will die and we will become nothing more than recyclable scraps.

On the left side of my lower back is a switch that is barely reachable with my left arm. I think I must have been one of the last models built with such a switch as I have not seen it on many models that has been dumped here since my arrival. Whenever my previous owners would reach back and flip it, my internal clock would jump forward an uncertain amount of time and suddenly I would be in another room with different people or with the same people, just wearing different clothing. I’ve never been able to understand how it works.

This “graveyard” has run dry of the parts I need. I can’t go on much longer here. That switch might be the only way left for me to get out of here and take me somewhere I can continue to survive. Maybe it will take me to some new owners that have piles of old, working parts that would be a perfect fit for me. Maybe they’ll have children that appreciate the simplicity of my purpose. The thought of this makes me feel the same kind of happiness that I think my previous owners felt when they use to play with me.

With little effort, I reach back and place my finger on the switch. Click…

title: Antique

question: Who is the narrator?

answer: A damaged, antique robot built like a unicycle.

question: Where does the story take place?

answer: In a "graveyard" for robots.

question: What is keeping it going?

answer: Its knowledge that it can repair itself with the right parts.

question: What does the switch on the left side of the robot's lower back do?

answer: It works like a time machine.

question: Write a ~5 sentence summary.

answer: An obsolete robot designed to entertain and watch over children is now in a robot graveyard scrounging for parts. Manufacturers discontinue the robot's model when consumers demand more out of the machines, such as pleasure, housework, entertainment, and companionship. The robot can repair itself, but since its model is no longer in production, there are no parts. It is one of the last robots with a switch that can teleport it to another time. The robot uses the switch, hoping to reach a place where its new owners have the parts it needs and the children will appreciate the simplicity of its purpose.

DOUG HATTAWAY is an American communications consultant, political advisor, and businessman, currently serving as the founder and CEO of Hattaway Communications, Inc., a strategic communications firm based in Washington, D.C. Hattaway was a senior adviser to Hillary Clinton during the 2008 Democratic Party presidential primaries, as well as Al Gore’s spokesman during the 2000 United States presidential election.[1] He was reported by _The Washington Post_ to be on a short list of candidates to serve as White House Press Secretary in the Obama Administration.[2]

Early life and education

Hattaway was born in 1964 and grew up in Tallahassee, Florida.[3] He graduated from Northwestern University’s Medill School of Journalism in 1986 with a Bachelor of Science in Journalism and a major in Political Science. He received his Master of Arts in English from Florida State University.

Career

From 1986 to 1989, Hattaway was press secretary to Representative Andy Ireland (R-FL), who had been elected in 1973 as a Democrat, but switched parties in 1984. Hattaway worked for Rep. Ireland when he was a member of the House Armed Services and Intelligence committees and co-chair of the Defense Burden Sharing Panel, which examined U.S. defense policy in Europe.

During the 1990s, he worked as a freelance correspondent, writing about politics, economics and environmental issues in South and Central America, Northern Ireland, and the Caribbean.

Hattaway served as press secretary for New Hampshire Governor Jeanne Shaheen from 1997 to 1999.

In 2000, Hattaway became the New Hampshire spokesman for the Al Gore 2000 presidential campaign during the primary against Senator Bill Bradley. He was then promoted to become the campaign’s national spokesman. He became the campaign’s primary voice during the Florida recount. After a controversial Supreme Court decision halted the recount, Hattaway told _The New York Times_, “If you count the voter’s intent, Gore wins. If you look for excuses not to count votes, Bush does better.”[4]

After the 2000 election, Hattaway went to Capitol Hill to work for then-Senate Democratic Leader Tom Daschle as communications director, beginning work shortly before the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks and was still in the position when Senator Daschle’s Washington, D.C., office received a piece of mail containing anthrax. Hattaway told _PRWeek_, “I thought I had a good crisis communications experience after the Florida recount. Now I’ve got September 11 and anthrax. It’s not the kind of crisis management experience you want.”[5]

His company, Hattaway Communications, serves high-profile clients in politics, government, advocacy, business and philanthropy, including the world's largest foundations. The firm's stated mission is to “help visionary leaders and organizations achieve ambitious goals that benefit people and the planet.”[6]

Hattaway has appeared frequently as an analyst and commentator on CNN and MSNBC.

Personal life

Hattaway is openly gay, and was married to Jarrett Barrios, CEO of the American Red Cross Los Angeles Region and former member of the Massachusetts House of Representatives.[7][8]

[Marcell Young]

In case you missed it, one of the more notable events from the weekend’s opening series of CFL games was when Marcell Young, defensive back for the BC Lions, absolutely crushed an intruder on the field.

Now, this was very funny for all of us! Certainly, Young’s hit carried a bit more oomph than necessary, but that’s just the game you play when you choose to disrupt a game played by professional athletes, right? However you feel about the humour of streaking, there is definitely humour in watching a streaker get their just deserts.

Unfortunately, this streaker seems to disagree. He has retained the services of Preszler Law Firm, which said through a statement released Wednesday that the fan “suffered serious injuries, including a mild traumatic brain injury, as a result of being violently struck by BC Lions player Marcell Young."

It’s unlikely, however, that any legal action would be successful, as University of British Columbia sports law professor Joe Weiler points out that the fan would be legally considered as a trespasser on the field.

That’s probably for the best, because it would be incredibly lame if Young was successfully sued for this.

question: Who is Marcell Young?

answer: A defensive back for the BC Lions

question: What notable event did Marcell Young do?

answer: He crushed an intruder on the field during the weekend's opening series.

question: What did the intruder state were his injuries given by Marcell Young?

answer: The intruder states he suffered serious injuries, including mild traumatic brain injury.

question: Will any legal action be taken on Marcell Young?

answer: it is unlikely any legal action will be taken as the fan would be declared a trespasser on the field.

question: Write a ~3 sentence summary.

answer: This article discussed how Marcell Young, a defensive back for the BC Lions, slammed an intruder on the field. The intruder took the case with a legal firm saying he had sustained serious injuries. It is very unlikely that any legal action will be taken against Young.

Over the weekend, Nike announced a promotional campaign that featured Colin Kaepernick. “Believe in something, even if it means sacrificing everything” a promotional image featuring Kaepernick’s face read. It immediately went viral as Nike had hoped, bringing back to life the “taking the knee” debate Kaepernick ignored years ago.

While many opposed to the move announced that they’d be boycotting Nike, or even burning their shoes, others defended the move as a brilliant marketing endeavor. Given that Nike sells more to urban youths (who are more likely to support Kaepernick), they’re simply alienating one customer base to appeal to a larger one. The problem with that theory is that a study conducted by the Morning Consult, a firm that uses real-time brand tracking data, shows that Nike’s favorability and purchasing consideration ratings have dropped off the map following an announcement of their campaign with Colin Kaepernick. And the decline in popularity is across the board:

-   Among Republicans, Nike’s positive ratings went from +75 to absolute zero. Among white Americans, favorability dropped from +67 to +27.
-   Favorability ratings for Nike amongst Democrats, while not as extreme for the Republicans, still dropped nine points. For African-Americans, it dropped another eight.
-   Prior to the announcement, Nike enjoyed a +69 favorable impression among all demographics. It has now dropped to +35

Nike aired its first “Just Do It” ad narrated by Kaepernick, during Thursday night’s NFL season opener between the Atlanta Falcons and Philadelphia Eagles, which kicked off the 99th season. And interestingly enough, despite this renewed controversy, there wasn’t a single player who took the knee.

  US President Donald Trump criticized Nike's decision to make Colin Kaepernick one of the faces of its 30th anniversary "Just Do It" campaign, calling it a "terrible message" https://t.co/8JGDlB3iJW pic.twitter.com/7ZtBbajhwL

  — CNN International (@cnni) September 5, 2018

According to USA Today, “Two Philadelphia Eagles players – defensive end Michael Bennett and Jay Ajayi – took seats on the bench near the end of the Star-Spangled Banner, but that was the extent of it. All of the Atlanta Falcons players stood at attention for the duration, as did the bulk of the Eagles, while the Philadelphia-bred R&B group Boyz II Men sang the anthem. Safety Malcolm Jenkins did not raise a fist during the protest as he did at times last season and in the preseason, but he wore a shirt that read “Ca$h bail = poverty trap” in pregame warmups. Jenkins is among the Eagles players who have met with state representatives to push for criminal justice reform.”

I guess nobody in the NFL wants to be the next Colin Kaepernick.

And given how the NFL’s fanbase responded to Kaepernick’s protest, it’s not hard to see why. After beginning his protest when he was still a player, Kaepernick entered the field to boos everywhere, including even his hometown of liberal San Francisco. If his protest was unpopular with the NFL fanbase in San Francisco, where could they possibly be popular?

The NFL ended up seeing a 10-percent year end drop in viewers last season, and became theleast popular sports league. That’s a trend no one in the NFL wants to continue. Most of those who tuned out gave the same reason for doing so: politics.

question: Who is Colin Kaepernick?

answer: He is an NFL player who popularized "taking the knee" as a sign of protest when the National Anthem was sung at football games. He is now at the center of Nike's new promotional campaign that went viral.

question: How did Americans react to Nike's new promotional campaign featuring Kaepernick?

answer: Nike's positive ratings dropped on all demographics (Republicans, Democrats, white Americans, African Americans), from +69 to +35.

question: What happened when Nike aired its first "Just Do It" ad during Thursday night's NFL season opener between the Atlanta Falcons and Philadelphia Eagles?

answer: No single player took the knee.

question: What did President Trump say about Nike's ad?

answer: President Trump criticized Nike's campaign, calling it a "terrible message."

question: Write a ~5 sentence summary.

answer: Nike releases a new promotional campaign featuring NFL player and activist Colin Kaepernick, but the ad was met with opposition from all demographics. As a result, Nike's positive ratings dropped from +69 to +35. Kaepernick is a controversial figure in the NFL because he's the guy who started "taking the knee" during the American National Anthem as a sign of protest. The company aired the ad during the NFL season opener between the Atlanta Falcons and Philadelphia Eagles, but not a single player took the knee. Even President Trump got involved, criticizing Nike's campaign and saying that it's a "terrible message."

	They do not tell you where you are going until you are there. They make us march miles for weeks, without the slightest hint about the terror that awaits. We leave with around one hundred thousand men, but arrive with only ten thousand. They do not die, but they are engineers and workers that stay behind at certain locations to build a road to the place we are going, to make it easier the next time around.
	“Hold!” The Centurion yells loudly. He is a big, powerful man, who has led many victories. He strode forth on his horse, inspecting the path ahead. He had glistening silver armor, covering a red tunic. His helmet is the classic helmet of a Roman Centurion.
	“March!”
	I do not know what he thought was there, but it must be all okay now. A little on up the path, there was a very loud crashing noise to out right. He held his hand up in the “hold” position, not yelling it in case there was something there, and it had not spotted us yet. He then made the “line” signal, in which we all simultaneously turned to the right, and one man would put his shield against the ground and hold his spear to the right of it, while the other man would put his shield on a forty five degree inward angle on top of it.
	Like the slither of a snake in the grass, they came straight up behind us.

How is that so far?

In my excitement to meet with her I forgot my umbrella. The restaurant was just down the street from my miserable apartment. I was already late and when meeting with her, early is late. The cold wet air greeted me harshly and i chuckled to myself as I began to run,  for I had never felt more alive. The maitre de greeted me with a frown. Great, this old bastard is going to treat me like a chump once again. "Sir. I can not let you enter Cafe Americian when you look like that! You are a sopping mess, I must ask you to leave for you are holding the line!" Mother fucker.
I bought gaudy new threads in the horrible hipster ridden department store next door. When she saw me walk to the table she fell off her chair in a fit of laughter. We were both escourted out of that posh culinary hell hole and grabbed some chicken and waffles at my favorite bar.

DIVERS GUIDE TO CHILE

AVERAGE WATER TEMP 55°F; Easter Island: low 70s >> WHAT TO WEAR Semidry or drysuit >> AVERAGE VIZ 50-80 feet; Easter Island: 80-plus feet >> WHEN TO GO December to February

Under the shadow of a seaweed forest off Chile’s southern town of Puerto Montt, a rock moves. The master of disguise — a mimic octopus — leaves the safety of its camouflage. Finding its next hideout over a garden of sea anemones, the octopus disappears into the coral. As it chooses its hiding spot, two Risso’s dolphins patrol the marine bottom.

With an area covering almost 3,000 miles from north to south (this also includes the many islands of the Patagonian Archipelago), the wide Chilean Sea is a blue frontier open to exploration. The Humboldt Current, rich in oxygen and nutrients, flows north from the southern tip of Chile to northern Peru. Considered a major upwelling system, it attracts an abundance of marine life to its waters.

During summer, sites like the Cathedral are home to sea lions, congregations of jellyfish, and schools of mackerel that come here for the shelter of the forests of algae before their journey to New Zealand.

Chile’s Easter Island, located in the southeastern waters of the Pacific Ocean, is also full of life. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Easter Island’s transparent waters offer views of a brilliant seascape, with vertical walls starting at shallow depths and a plethora of precious cold-water jewels like colorful corals, yellow butterflyfish and green sea turtles.

From playful sea lions to hard-to-spot octopuses, the waters off the Chilean coast are a diver’s dream.

DON'T-MISS DIVES
THE MOTUS, EASTER ISLAND (RAPA NUI) This volcanic island is full of lava-shaped passes and corals. A 10-minute boat ride to the three lava islets that surface from the sea, also known as the Motus, delivers divers to lobsters, rockfish, tuna, barracuda and even the occassional Galapagos shark.

MÁS AFUERA
Known as a local favorite just off the coast of La Serena, divers can glide along a large rock formation painted with red anemones and fish that feed on the nutrient-rich current. Other critters include yellow and pink sponges, housing tiny govies and nudibranchs.

TIC-TOC BAY
Located at the south of Chiloé, this bay was recently declared a marine protected area for its abundance of red sea urchins, crabs, kelp forests and sea lions. In summer, the area is of particular interest to scientists searching for blue whales.

DIVERS DAY OFF:
THERMAL BATHS
While on land, get pampered at places like Puyuhuapi and Chillán — some of the most well-known hot springs surrounded by native wildlife.

ON THE TABLE
When it comes to Chilean cuisine, tuna is the way to go. From fried empanadas to just-out-of-the-ocean ceviche, meals here center on this fresh fish.

EASTER ISLAND
The area may be known for its iconic Ahu and Moai statues, but respect is key. Visitors are allowed to look but not touch.

AT THE BEACH
Head to Easter Island's Anakena beach for a swim, then dive or walk (2.2 miles) to the pink sands of Ovahe Beach. Clear, unlit skis make it a perfect spot for star-gazing.

question: What does the text say about the octopus as a master of disguise?

answer: A particular type of octopus, the mimic octopus, uses the power of camouflage to disguise itself amongst the sea anemones. It lives off the coast of a small Chilean town called Puerto Montt. It does this not only to make itself less seen to predators, but also, less seen to potential prey.

question: Summarize the role of marine life in Chile.

answer: Marine life creatures off the coast of Chile have their own ecosystem, in which they flourish and die in a cycle of life in which all components play a necessary role. There are octopuses, sea anemones, coral reefs, jellyfish, and schools of fish. There are also dolphins and sea turtles. Many different kinds of fish line the coast and extend farther out into the depths of the ocean.

question: Summarize how the ocean life shows up in Chilean culture.


text: There are certain moments in the middle of chaos where clarity briefly resurfaces. Moments where you become painfully aware of just how out of control the world has become. I experienced one of these moments three weeks into my freshman year of college. I was sitting in my english class like any other day when some girl across the class started staring at me. While I stared back I noticed the care she put into her appearance. She was wearing a pale blue that perfectly complemented her dark skin, matching shoes, a white bow in her hair, and a noticeable amount of make-up. Most guys my age would just think “damn she’s hot”, or something along those lines, but all I could think was “why all the effort?”. She was obviously attractive, why was she trying so hard to make herself look even better? I was sure she could have slept for at least an hour or two longer if she hadn’t taken so much care and she would have looked just as good as any other girl in the classroom. While I was contemplating the purpose of her effort, she winked at me. I sat there puzzled because I didn’t know this girl at all. My puzzlement probably showed on my face because she smiled and licked her lips slowly, wiping her tongue from the right to the left and back right again. All I could think was “The only thing this girl knows about me is that I’m attractive, she doesn’t know who I am and she doesn’t care.” While I was thinking this, I watched as she smirked, leaned over her desk, squeezed her breasts, in between her arms and kissed the air in my direction. Out of embarrassment my eyes shifted to the corner of the class. There I watched as the hand of a shaggy haired student retreated from the inside of his elbow. My eyes caught the flash of a needle and my realization of what he was doing came in complete synchronization with the expression of euphoria that was painted on his face. My disgust turned my eyes back to the girl who had planted her face in her palm and gave me a wink when my eyes met hers. Before I could react I felt a hand land on my shoulder. I turned to meet the face of a cocky looking red haired guy. “ay bro I can get you the answers to this test, for the right price”.First I felt my blood get hot. Then I felt the sting of his face against my knuckles. It was a reflex. A response my surroundings. What happened next was more of a reckless impulse. I flipped my desk over in the process of standing up, and yelled at the top of my lungs “this is fucking bullshit!”. Then clarity came. I realized exactly how I appeared. So I grabbed my backpack, stood up straight, and marched out of the classroom.

title: I woke up one morning and wrote this, this is my first short story so I am very open to criticism

question: What are the emotions the main character is showing in this story?

answer: The main character is showing anger, contempt, unhappiness and puzzlement.

question: How does the main character feel towards the girl in her class?

answer: The main character feels inferior to the girl in her class because the girl is very attractive and puts a lot of effort into her appearance.

_BRANCHIOSTOMA BENNETTI_, the MUD LANCELET, is a lancelet of the genus _Branchiostoma_ endemic to the Gulf of Mexico, where it is found in the northern part.

Description

Like other lancelets in the genus _Branchiostoma_, _B. bennetti_ occurs in inshore waters where it burrows into sand or muddy sand at depths down to about . The body is laterally flattened and pointed at both ends. It has a long dorsal fin and another fin on its ventral surface, and a caudal fin at the rear end.[1] _B. bennetti_ differs from other western Atlantic lancelets for having the longest buccal cirri among them. These cirri are further unique in this region because of their extended lateral projections. [2]It is presumed that these unique buccal cirri are an adaptation to living in a muddier habitat than other species. [3]

So here I am, sitting at a bench, in a Texas Courthouse. I have been accused of murder. I am a doctor, the name is Gabriel Homes. The friend I am accused of killing is James Walden. My friend. Both of us are divorced and will never marrie again. Two weeks ago James confirmed he had cancer. With out boring you with the small stuff, the doctors he conferred with did not want to treat him the way he wanted. They were taking a much more statistically safe approch. He did not want what this approch would bring. And he knew no doctor would agree with the treatment he wanted.
	When I found out about his plan, I helped him. He was going to do it regardless, and he was there for me in my darkest hour. As his only real friend, I should do the same for him. For more then 40 years we have known each other. If there is anyone hear that should be alowed to make decisions for this man when he can not, it is me.
	"All rise for the honorable Judge Lisa Forman."
	" Be seated." Everyone sits down. "Mr. Homes."
	"Doctor." Homes blurted out. After a small pause. "Your Honor."
	After a sturn look, she went on. "Doctor... Homes, I understand you want to give the closing statement. Have you been adviced by your legal counsel?"
	"Ya, I know the risks your Honor." Homes said with blunt sarcasm.
	"Go ahead." Judge Forman waved her hand to signify the same.
	"Ladies and gentlemen of jury, I have asked for a jury trial for one reson. The jury. Laws are imperfect, they can not juge intent. Laws say certain situations with certain actions should be looked at to see if something was done wrong. The law says I have killed a man. But it is your job to ascertain if it was for good or bad resons. If I intended to do harm, or if I have acted in a way that harmed someone, and prevented them from going about there life as they wish. I did brake the law. That is what has brought us here. What I did I would do again, the law has the power to send me to jail for this. If you say it does, if the 12 of you agree that I had malicious intent. But if you agree that I did as my friend wished me to do, and that he was fully aware of all the risks, then you have the power to keep me from jail."
	Homes takes some steps to his left. "Dr. James Walden, has been fighting cancer in his patients his hole medical career. He knows the treatments, the risks, the problems, the effects and the outcomes that could happen. He has studied it his entire adult life. He knew that this treatment was most likely going to kill him. But he wanted to take treatment his way. He did not want to die from the disease he had been fighting his hole life. But more then that, after a life time of watching people die in a hospital, he did not want to die in the same way. These are the facts, this is what he told me, and this is what I have learnt from knowing this man for more then 40 years, the facts and my friendship with James Walden agree.
	This time Homes walks to his right but farther then were he started from. "Three doctors told him, they would do light radiation, to try and shrink his to shrink his tumor. If that didn't work, they would try chemotherapy, and they would increase the amount as needed. James knew this might take to long. His thought was, why not try the best chance for shrinking the tumor when he had the best chance for surviving the worst treatment. Simple math, you try the easyest to hardest action first untill it works or you try the hardest thing first, when your most equipped to handle it. He wanted to rip the band aid. He knew why doctors try and save this as a last dich effort. He was a doctor for more then 40 years, if anyone knows the risks of treatment it is him. He could ask a patient to do this and with only what he has told them they could agree to it. I guarente they would not understand the same as a doctor, and definitely not one that has been fighting it his hole life."
	He takes a deep breath, and pauses for a nice silence to build. As he looks around watching the jury take in what he is saying, he begins again. "My friend has watched people die in a hospital bed for longer then anyone should ever have to. Mothers hold their childs hand as the last breath comes. Old men with no one there, dying alone. Husbands and wives winning and losing the long and very painfull fight with death. It pained him more to watch this then anything else. He did not want to go through that, even more then he did not want to die by what he has dedicated his life trying to conquer. This man has given up so much to help people. And the law wants to tell me that, I should not of help this man the way he wished. You would give a solder his dying request but not this man. Should someone not have the right to help a man of this caliber. Should the most dear friend in a mans life not be able to help fulfill his wants and needs. If someone would rather have treatment in their own home and not a hospital, then they are allowed. But I can't do this because I'm a doctor. The law was not intended to punish me for this, it was intended to stop me from doing it for my own gain. Not for fulfuilling my friends educated request. How can being a doctor prevents me from helping my own friend my family. If there is another who would be more qualified then me, James and I have not met them.
	"I did not kill this man." The doctor shifts over to his left a bit. "He chose this path. It may be looked down on, but it is not wrong for someone to make a dangerous decision, when all this risks can only harm them. It is dangerous for a mother and father to let their son go off to war. But if the law alows him to, should the parents not support their child? Should a wife not cook a meal for her husband that works in L.A.s police department? Should a friend not skydive with his buddy as he concours his fear of hights? The reson we have people, friends, loved ones in our lifes is to help us in the tough times. Doctor James Walden faced death. As the only person on this planet that he wanted help from, can you really say that I have done something wrong that has harmed anyone but myself. I was helping my friend through the most difficult decision he has ever made. He trusted my judgment, and he knew that I have the best intentions, to help fulfill his wishes. Should someone really be punished for this."
	"If I must martyr myself out, to stand by my closest friend, then give me the cross and I will walk with it." Doctor Gabriel Homes stops hangs his head low as he turns around. The time he spend with James as life passed them by starts to come rushing back to him. Were they met, how they both helped countless people as doctors together. All the bets and games they palyed with one another. The people they have both lost in their lives and how each played their part in helping the other. James was there when he went into rehab, and a psychiatric clinic. Homes was there when he got a divorce, and James in the same way for Homes. He had to honor his friend, or it would dishonor everything they have gone through. He looks up and the hole room is fixated on him. 'How long has he been standing in silence?' The hole room watching his every breath.
	"I have done nothing I regret. I will stand by my friend. So that we would be friends for better or worse, if  we were peasants or kings, if he was dying of cancer or living another 100 years. I have done right by my friend and the ultimate judge must see this. I will not stand down from his side."
	"I am done your Honor." As I walk back to my seat, I fear that people will side with what has been put down on paper befor their own moral compass leads them to the right path. They have been blinded by their rules. They feel safer with them. But as I sit down I feel better knowing I have a true friend. Even though I have lost the most important part of my family, I am better for being there with my friend, as he was for me.

If one can concieve of things so terrible, in an unconsiounce state of mind, say sleep. Does that have any bearing on one's actul mental state?
My dreams are constantly full of terrible terrible things. Things that most people would find not only disturbing but very troubling to think about
without getting in to specifics let's say death and evil evil things are constant themes as I dream. I often wake up disturbed and troubled by
not only my thoughts but my state of mind during the dream. Sometimes I feel afraid as if actions against me may be iminent. But the way I seem to feel
the way I accept the evil of my nightmares seems to be troubling. The way I look at death, is extremely unattached you can say. But when I wake up
I can't believe the things I've thought or the way I had felt.

Do you understand why we're at this point? Why I'm here right now?

Because I feel I'm dreaming I feel like you and me at this point is just another nightmare I'm having. Something isn't right here.

Please give me some sort of sign that you're real.

A faceless genderless person is all I can see, all I saw. No sign nothing. Just a feeling like it was afraid of me. Like I was acting against it
in the worst possible fashion.

Tied to a chair of some sort in a sitting position,

Why am I speaking to it. Do I justify my actions before hand? Before I act against this creature this almost human thing. This it that I feel
empathy I feel for it. Almost.

I must speak to it.

Do you understand what I'm doing right now? I feel crazy.

Why am I here can I not stop what I'm about to do.

The rest is something so awful and so terrible I can't explain. There is no blood no..... specifics. Just an ..... of torture.

Of this person being acted against in the worst possible manner, terrified almost tortured.... But nothing.....

I sit here wondering what could have happened to make a person feel that way. The way I feel for the person being acted against. I feel I touched it.

Like I felt sorry for it and disgusted by it. Like I made it feel everything I felt and thought about it and I felt what it felt, it was afraid of me
it was terror, no physical pain just the darkest type of fear, like a fate worse than death. Acted against in the worst possible way.

Fear beyond terror, something that death is preferable to.

And there she was, a woman in black. Shedding tears of dark ink that sorrow the mind and confuse the memories and recaps of her past, just to slap her back to the future. In doubt of life and in a neverending loop of pain. What did the woman in black want? Love.
All she ever wanted was love and all she ever got was the illusions and dreams of what her life would be next to him; and now those dreams are shards of glass on the ground and the illusions have turned into nightmares. The poison that ran through her veins was going to be her dead as it was his, but that bloody fiend she loved was her curse and all that matters now is the grains of salt vanishing through a thin crystal. What have i done wrong to deserve this? She could ask herself; but there was no simple answer. It was love the syringe and passion the lure to her doom. The woman in black saw his face one last time in the coffin and all the good memories vanished. High school prom. The weekend at the river. Uncle Marcy's wedding. All gone. For the woman in black's life was perfect until she found out of the affairs of her husband. Fifteen years of a happy marriage now in doubt, sorrow and deception. What was true and what was false? She could not help to think of herself as a lie. "I am a lie. My life is a lie."
That was the important of honesty. That reminded her of her vows at their wedding. His smile. The happiest day of her life and the day the grim reaper set her up with a demon. "Can I just blame it on him? did i not try hard enough?" Who cares. she certainly didnt because she was a young woman poisoned by the allure of his life and death.
The woman in black was young, charming and inteligent at one point; But now all she was mad her sick. A walking infection, a timing bomb, a dirty whore. She did not belong in this world anymore and she knew it, people treated her different and she needed pills everyday. a pale white women in a black dress. Her tiny limbs and her thin hair depressed her and made her hate the mirrors. The Happy family pictures break her heart. "I could've had that. I did, even if it was false and sick." She was a joke and she knew it. Scum. She found out she was going to be a mother; and got maternity absence from the Law office she worked at. But it just took her a couple of weeks to start feeling more nauseous than usual. her husband have had high fevers so they went to the doctor, scared for the baby's health.
After losing her child, she was hospitalized for a couple of days, but her husband was as well. The doctor told them that they were HIV positive and that their immune systems are not functioning as well as a healthy person. " Healthy person". she kept saying to herself for months after given release from the medical center. She despised this healthy people she saw on the streets now, she alienated herself from them and was disgusted by how they live their healthy and plentiful lifes. "I was one of them, I was healthy. I had it all." She slid a black rose in between the man who cursed her's arms and kissed his forehead one last time. Honeymoon at Hawaii. The night at the roof with the wine. Playing Scrabble and making up silly words. The last of her memories vanished with the rose on his hands, and the woman in black shed one last tear for that 'what could've been' and the deceit she had for a life.

It was undeniably slow, but most of the big time contenders for the Stanley Cup this season ended up making moves to bolster their lineups at the NHL trade deadline. There’s no way to get a complete picture of what kind of impact these new players will have on their teams in the playoffs, but at a glance we can look at which teams are most likely to see big improvements due to their additions.

Based on a variety of criteria, the teams I came up with as the biggest contenders for the Cup this season are, in no particular order: Tampa Bay, Boston, Winnipeg, Nashville, Vegas, and Dallas. Five of those six teams made additions, so we can look at those moves specifically to see what to expect.

Starting with the forwards, here’s the general offensive impact that can be expected from the contenders who added players.

[]

The Predators paid a steep price for Ryan Hartman, whose 25 points this year undersells his offensive impact. Not only is he a very impressive possession driver, but he gets to the slot way more than the average Predators forward, and makes passes there more often as well.

He was sheltered in Chicago, but won’t be asked to play high quality minutes in Nashville either; he’s likely going to be on their third line where he’ll bring some physicality and net front presence with significantly above average playmaking to boot. Considering Hartman is just 23 years old, you can sort of understand why GM David Poile felt it was worthwhile to pay the heavy price to bring in a piece that could help Nashville for years.

Rick Nash doesn’t finish at the rates he used to, but he’s an offensive powerhouse at 5-on-5, as only 12 players put up more high danger scoring chances per minute than Nash. His shots also create a ton of scoring chances for his teammates — only 15 players create more than Nash. A little bit of regression in Nash’s percentages could see an avalanche of goals for the Bruins, even though they gave up a really good player in Ryan Spooner to get him.

Paul Stastny isn’t a big-time shooter, but he’s an excellent playmaker who creates high-quality scoring chances for his teammates, and joins a Jets team that’s already very good at creating pre-shot movement. By adding to an already existing strength the Jets aren’t addressing a weakness, but by getting even better in a spot they were already good, while adding depth at an important position down the middle, Winnipeg becomes an even tougher out.

Tomas Tatar is having a down season for himself, and while he’s still an above average shooter, he doesn’t look like a huge impact player for the Golden Knights. However, over the past three years he ranked as the 14th-best left winger in the game based on my comprehensive rankings project from September. Offensively Tatar is more of a second liner, but he’s a brilliant transition player and extremely underrated defensively. With three more years left on his contract after this one, Vegas is thinking about more than just this year.

[]

The last trade to go through on deadline day was the Tampa Bay Lightning paying a huge price to get Ryan McDonagh, and also getting J.T. Miller (this detail came along too late to add to the previous look at forwards). McDonagh isn’t above team average offensively, but Tampa’s average is mostly driven by Victor Hedman and Mikhail Sergachev putting up incredible numbers — McDonagh is still a huge upgrade over the rest of the roster.

In transition, McDonagh brings a lot of great passing to the table, but isn’t as big on carry outs as his smooth skating would have you believe. Luckily for Tampa, he’s also a stalwart defensively, facing top attackers every night, beating them to loose pucks and effectively limiting chances against. The Lightning’s biggest weakness as a team were the minutes in their own zone at 5-on-5 played by anyone other than Hedman or Anton Stralman. This move is of incredible value because it gives the Lightning an instant second pairing that can compete with almost any team in the league, provided Jon Cooper doesn’t saddle McDonagh with Girardi like the Rangers did.

Joe Morrow is actually a pretty decent transition player, and can contribute offensively by joining the rush, but he is extremely porous in the defensive zone. This leads to tons of shots, chances, and high danger chances against while he’s on the ice, despite the fact he’s sheltered. He’s particularly open to being beat by passes to and through the slot, and his ability to win pucks in dangerous areas is not great. Positioning and gap control are a consistent problem.

I’m not sure I see the upside of the Morrow acquisition for Winnipeg other than being sparingly used in a depth role, but the McDonagh trade, especially considering the Lightning also added the speedy and versatile Miller up front, has to be the ultimate winner of the day.

Comparing the rate of victimization for gays and lesbians to that of other groups.

The national hate crime statistics published each year by the FBI are notoriously sketchy, in large part because, as a 2005 Department of Justice study found, most hate crimes are never reported to police and those that are typically are not categorized as hate crimes by local jurisdictions. Nevertheless, by examining FBI data, it is possible to make reasonable estimates of the rates of victimization by various targeted minority groups.

To calculate these rates for six categories of victims — LGBT people, Jews, blacks, Muslims, Latinos and whites — the Intelligence Report first determined the percentage of the U.S. population represented by each victim group: LGBT people, 2.1%; Jews, 2.2% (Census Bureau’s 2009 Statistical Abstract); blacks, 12.9%; Muslims, 0.8% (2009 estimate from the Pew Research Center); Latinos, 15.8%; and whites, excluding Hispanic whites, 65.1%. Of these, the percentage of LGBT people in the American population is the most debatable. We use figures on self-identified gays, lesbians and bisexuals from a National Health and Social Life Survey that were also cited by a coalition of 31 leading gay rights organizations as “the most widely accepted study of sexual practices in the United States.” The 2.1% proportion is calculated from the finding that 2.8% of men and 1.4% of women are LGBT.

Next, we compiled the total number of hate crimes against persons (that is, excluding hate crimes against property) in those categories for the years 1995-2008, the period for which there was complete data. We then totaled the crimes for those 14 years in each category and calculated what percentage of all hate crimes against persons they represented. There were 15,351 anti-LGBT  hate crime offenses during those years, for instance, which amounts to 17.4% of the total of 88,463 reported violent hate crimes. The figures for the remaining victim groups were Jews, 7.7%; blacks, 41%; Muslims, 1.5%; Latinos, 8.8%; and whites, 13.3%.

Using the figures from the above two paragraphs, we then compared the level of hate crime aimed at each group to that group’s percentage in the population to determine the group’s rate of victimization compared to its representation in the population. For LGBT people, for example, it was calculated that they are victimized at 8.3 times the expected rate (17.4 divided by 2.1). The other categories were as follows: Jews were victimized at 3.5 times the expected rate, blacks at 3.2 times, Muslims at 1.9 times, Latinos at 0.6 times, and whites at 0.2 times.

Last, we compared the rate of victimization for LGBT people to that of the other groups. The figures show that LGBT people are 2.4 times more likely to suffer a violent hate crime attack than Jews (8.3 divided by 3.5). In the same way, gays are 2.6 times more likely to be attacked than blacks; 4.4 times more likely than Muslims; 13.8 times more likely than Latinos; and 41.5 times more likely than whites, according to the FBI figures. The basic pattern holds by years as well as across the years.

The bottom line: LGBT people are far more likely than any other minority group in the United States to be victimized by violent hate crime.

I wrote this in eighth grade, and I didn't put context around it.

Hank and Justin hurried out of the SUV and began making their way across the icy road when a misty figure, about six feet tall, materialized in the distance. It began striding towards them, hunched over, with a long, loping gait. Hank, slipping on the slick ground, turned around and retrieved his rifle from the back of the vehicle, running back to join Justin.

The figure continued to lope steadily towards them. Whenever it left the illumination of a streetlight, it was nearly invisible against the backdrop of the cold, dark night.

“What good will a rifle do against him?” asked Justin.

“Do you have a better idea?” Hank replied. He unchecked the safety on the gun and bolted into the familiar winery, with Justin following hastily, covering the large cube under his traveling cloak. They hurried down the trapdoor behind the dusty counter, slamming it shut behind them. They ran down to the maintenance elevator, hearing the trap open again above them, the misty figure starting to descend down the creaking staircase.

“Quick, what’s the passcode?” asked Justin hurriedly, fumbling to get his glove off.

“Six, five, two, nine, pound,” said Hank.

Justin typed in the passcode and hastily slipped his glove back on. “Come on, come on,” he muttered, hopping slightly from his left to right foot in anxiety as they waited. The elevator came up at a painfully slow pace, the misty figure drawing ever nearer.

Hank spun around and fired once into the figure’s chest. The round passed right through its body, momentarily dispersing a small area in its chest, particles floating back to repair the hole in its torso.

“It’s no good,” Justin trembled. “Look away and close your eyes. Don’t open them until I say so!”

Hank averted his eyes.

Justin quickly took the cube out from under his cloak and unzipped the case. Holding it by the case, he looked away and held it out towards the figure. Blinding light shone out of the cube, brighter than the sun, and engulfed the misty creature, dissolving it and sending a thousand tiny particles zooming away in a thousand different directions. A smell of ammonia lingered in the air where the figure had once stood.

Zipping up the case again, Justin breathed a sigh of relief. They were safe! “Okay, you can open your eyes now,” he said to Hank. Hank turned around. “You used the artifact? That was incredibly dangerous, do you have any idea what could have happened?”

*Ding.*

“No time,” said Justin, pointing at the small green light above the elevator. “Our ride’s here.”
The two hurried onto the platform that creaked and groaned ominously to accept their weight and immediately grabbed two safety suits from the rack as they headed down. They slipped on the suits that covered everything except their eyes, then put on the filmy red glasses that would protect them from the blinding light.

*Ding.*

They stepped out into the cavernous room, staring in awe at the massive shining pyramid that stood before them. They rushed to the side and scrambled up to the top, careful not to knock any cubes over.
Justin reverently took the case off the cube and placed it on top, the final addition to the thousand-year puzzle. The cubes began to blaze even brighter than before, turning a scorching shade of red. The whole structure began to tremble slightly.

“At last,” he whispered. “It is complete.”

title: The Game

question: Describe everything that happens to the artifact Justin uses.

answer: The artifact is a cube. When Justin removes it from its case, it begins to shine brightly. It shines so brightly it dissolved the misty creature with light. It appears to have some kind of magic power. Then, Hank and Justin go underground to where a giant glowing pyramid sits. The cube is placed in an opening in the pyramid and the pyramid is finally complete.

question: What is the nature of the thing that follows Hank and Justin?

answer: The being appears to be partly immaterial. It is immune to being shot by bullets. It is described as being mist-like, but when it suffers a wound its particles re-coalesce. The only thing capable of destroying it is the artifact Justin carries.

The Scorching

“I remember one day of winter,” my grandfather looked mistily out the twelve inch synthesized window. He’s one of the few in our colony that knows of winter first hand. I have brought him to the observation point on the western end of The Dome at his request. This is his response to my request to tell us of how life felt in the days before artificial air and extreme heats of the wastelands. “The wind whisked down my neighborhood just as I stepped out into the white blanket on my porch. A chill ran up my legs but I hardly noticed, my friends were already playing across the street. Hmpff, I couldn’t have been taller than I am now.” He looks to me with a smile. “We spent the entire day by the hill behind Wilson’s house. We took sleds and lids down that hill, trying to guide it down to an alley so we could go the farthest. We didn’t stop till we saw a couple girls from school cutting through the alley. Linda Mould and Susan P. Cole,” He turns to me with a special grin. Susan P. Cole was my grandmother.

“I jumped line when I saw them, knew it was a special one the second I started. The boys whopped and hollered behind me, they knew it too. Susan and Linda had to leap from my way just as I flew by and crashed right into the Ralman’s garbage cans. Didn’t think about how I’d stop, never do at that age. No one did in those days.” Something in his voice changes. The mist in his eyes is more of a water haze now, he points to the empty horizon. “I use to see homes, grass, animals, and clouds. I never new that hope for the future was artificial till the mechanics of the world were stripped from us. It didn’t matter what we did to try and stop it neither.” I can see him slipping into more painful memories so I request him to point out when exactly he noticed the world changing first hand.

“Changes? Well them happen often and often.” (He means to say changes happen a great deal and always.) “Well, the first time I realized the talk was true was I woke up in some pain, not a good deal, but enough to shake you to. Round the time I was leaving college I suppose. I looked around my bed for whoever woke me, Susan hadn’t been over that night so I couldn’t figure out who’d hurt my arm. It was near midday and I had spent the better half of the morning sleeping off the night before. I wanted to sleep some more but the sun was slipping between my blinds and onto the side of my bed. I got up to close the drapes, but first to peak outside. I was looking for anyone of note when I noticed warmth and a near instant sting all over my face. I leapt back and closed the drapes. I felt relief right away. I knew it, right then, I knew it. The sun was burning like they said it was, hot and fast. My first thought was to call Susan and see if she was feeling it too.”

It’s not long after that our history lessons pick up, reminding those of us who weren’t yet here that the earth was becoming barren. My grandfather was one the first selected to one of the science division domes. The structures we all have been raised were in fact substitutes for an atmosphere we never knew, so we could have a life we never could have hoped for. “I broke through as a design engineer. Interning for the great Doctor Kepling. Now that man could work, spend entire months ruining chalk boards and burrowing floors with his pacing. I nearly didn’t sleep in my time there trying to keep up with him and the three kids at home. No one really knows his name anymore, yet his design saved what’s left of us.” His sigh holds a lot of weight out of his chest. I decide its time to broche a subject that has been refrained from in my family for years now.

I ask him as gently as possible, what happened in the evacuation. There is a long pause and silence before he can gather the breath to speak. The gruffness I had grown up knowing is back, he is the old man in the recliner I know again. “We…We only got the news of The Flare just as it started. I was at home sleeping in as I had the day off and Susan…Susan should have been shopping. The phone call came and the doctor himself was frazzled. I could tell before he said anything it was happening. I was to stunned to really hear him after that, he said he just wanted to make sure I made it and hung up. I forced myself out of bed and put these packs of necessities and valuables we had made in case it did come. I heard the kids downstairs playing, I yelled for them to get up and get there stuff ready. They knew what I meant but I don’t think they truly new what it meant.” My father swears it was all too quick to remember. One day your breathing humid air, the next day it’s artificial. Kids his age hardly caught on to the significance of things as they went.

“Once we were all packed I rushed the kids out to the car. It was so bright out I could hardly see my way to the car, still I had to find Susan. I had lugged her bag to car with mine. I was going to drive strait to the market to find her. I’ve sweat often before and since then, but I doubt any compared to that day. We got there and I can remember my sprint to the door seeming to last far to long to be a couple dozen feet. I burst through the door and screamed for her, Susan! Susan!” His outcry catches me off guard, “I ran back and forth through the aisles still she is not there. I looked to my watch, If I was to save my children I couldn’t wait any longer. I’d have to hope she received the message and caught the follow up busses to one of the others.

When I returned to car and began to head for my designated dome, it was clear the word was out. People we rushing all about in a frenzy. I don’t ever think I’ve seen such horror on so many men and women’s faces as on that day. I told the kids to duck down so they wouldn’t see. I speed out from our town into the dessert sands towards the dome. I think I was one of the last through, they closed those giant glass doors a little after we passed through.” After this he holds his head in his hands in silent hiding of his face. My Aunt recalls him braking down and crying over the wheel till some nice man came to get them from the back seat. They didn’t see him again for a week. My grandmother was never found, nor has our family ever discussed her final whereabouts.

From there the rest of the word documents well our methods to survival. Two generations of struggle-less survival, made us able to be complacent again. We should stay vigilant in pursuit of the solution; we should never allow ourselves to simply survive, but also to live. Even if it is only our grandchildren who will truly be unscathed. Never may we forget what great human loss we suffered in the Scorching.

**Seven.**

Anna had just turned seven when she first discovered she had the ability to impose stasis on objects she willed so.

She had received a lava lamp from her father, a thing she had made space for on her study table, to be placed in between her reading lamp and the stuffed bear. She had wanted one since everyone could remember. Cake and ice cream were ignored as she ran up the stairs to her room, two steps at a time.

As Anna pushed her door open, however, she felt the lava lamp slip from her small hands and it began to fall. She quickly understood that her new treasure; her prize and fortune — as children consider things such — was to meet the wooden floor boards and, consequently, break. Her young mind reeled from realization, to the utter horror of it, and to the sheer sadness of losing something that was hers for such a short while.

She could not decide whether to berate herself for her clumsiness or the unnecessary celerity, feeling tears welling up. She watched uselessly as the lamp fell, and fell, and fell some more. She did not mean for it to happen, and she did not think it fair. She did not want the lamp to hit the floor.

Then it stopped.

Anna wiped her eyes as she stared at the lava lamp. She smiled.

She sat before the lamp, and studied it. It hung suspended in the air and flickered, as if a television image that suffered from bad reception. The blobs of blue and red wax within ceased to float around as it should. Amongst the noises of her family downstairs, she could hear the faint drone of static. The flickering and sound disappeared as she plucked the lava lamp from the air. Then the world around her turned black.

Anna had collapsed from fatigue, the doctor said, and for the next two days, she remained in bed.

answer:
Anna's father gifts her a lava lamp that she desperately wanted. While she's taking it to her room, it slips out of her hands and falls. When tears start welling in her eyes, the lamp stops and starts hovering just above the ground. That's how she discovers her ability to cause stasis in objects. She picks the lamp up and the world around her goes black.

The doctor says that she's collapsed due to fatigue. Anna remains in her bed for the next two days.
