The AMISH AND MENNONITE HERITAGE CENTER is located at 5798 County Road 77 in Berlin, Ohio and was opened in 1981 first as the Mennonite Information Center. By 1989 center moved to the current structure which was finished to include the Behalt Cyclorama as well as a bookstore. The center was renamed in 2002 to reflect its mission as a cultural center.[1][2]

The center captures the rich heritage of Amish Country with the goal of accurately informing guests about the faith, culture and traditional ways of the Amish, Mennonite, and Hutterite people and their descendants.

The center offers visitors Behalt, a 10-foot tall by 265 foot cyclorama,[3] also known as a mural-in-the-round, illustrating the heritage of the Amish and Mennonite people from their origin in Switzerland (circa 1525) to present day.[4] Behalt was painted by artist Heinz Gaugel, a German born immigrant who came to Holmes County, Ohio in 1962. Inspiration for the painting came in 1978 when an Amish blacksmith said to Heinz, “I wish there was some place in the area that people could go and find out why we live the way we do.”[5]

Also on the grounds of the museum are a pioneer barn house with a restored Conestoga wagon, buggies, farm equipment and an 1857 one-room schoolhouse.[6]

Thank you very much for taking the time to read this because I need you to give me constructive criticism on my still in-progress work. I know it is incomplete, but I need advice about my writing style, appeal, etc. so I can better myself. If you like it, great! If you do not like it, tell me why you do not like it in a constructive manner. I hope my paper is free of grammatical errors and I hope you enjoy the first chapter of "The Lone Wolf"!

I pressed the ashes and the dirt together into a neat mound and I stood up to look at it. Tears welled up in my eyes and I wiped them with my sleeve. After only a week’s struggle, both of my parents were dead and I was alone. I looked around at the destruction around me, seeing fires blacken rubble and electric wires sparkling. I looked back down at the grave and my makeshift cross, hoping it would suffice for the sacrifice my parents made to me by protecting me in the last raid. Now, I needed to survive by myself and for myself. I said a few quiet words for my parents and I prepared myself for the road ahead of me.

            My name is Michael Greaves, a seventeen year-old survivor on the road trying to scavenge for food and water. I was a military brat before this cataclysmic event and my parents were military veterans from the Marine Corps. I barely outlasted a bandit raid with my MP5 submachine gun and my P99 pistol, but my parents saved me in the flash of the last moments of their lives. When the marauders stormed the remains of our house and ran down to the cellar, my parents brandished combat knives and they ambushed them. I was told to sit in the corner with my MP5 on my lap and a blanket over my body so the bandits wouldn’t see me, but I watched my parents wrestle them to the ground. I heard a shot ring out in the cellar and my mother screamed. The second shot sounded soon after the first. All was silent and I was trying my hardest not to cry out and tears were falling out of my eyes. I quickly wiped my face and I tore off the blanket, revealing my gun. I shouted my loudest and longest shout as I was unloading all of my bullets uncontrollably on these helpless thieves. I wasted all of my MP5 ammunition on their dead bodies. Once my voice cracked, I stopped screaming and I returned to the cruel reality of my parents’ deaths. I fell to my knees and I slumped over their bodies and I must have cried all night.

            When dawn’s light reached through the cracks of the cellar’s ceiling, I knew what I had to do. When I picked up my mother, I wept hard once again. I tried carrying my mother up the broken stairs and it felt as if all of the world’s weight was put on my arms. When I got outside, my knees broke down in an empty space apart from all of the rubble around me and I set my mother down. This was hard on me both mentally and emotionally and I couldn’t think of an even worse way of their deaths.

I dragged my feet down the stairs and I saw my father lying on his side with his back turned to me. I tried picking up my father, but I was too weak and I cried again. I didn’t even want to drag him up the stairs, pulling his dead arms, but it was the only way. His head was knocked around on the broken stairs and it only made me feel worse about myself. I pulled his body next to my mother and I went back downstairs to get a shovel.

With every scoop of dirt, ash, and rubble, I grunted pathetically every single time. The grunting only got progressively worse when I kept looking at my parents’ peaceful faces. Tears flew out of my eyes with every deliberate scoop. I took a long break to avoid thinking about my parents, but it was the only thing I could think about and I cried silently when I returned to work. I finished digging and I looked at the close sunset on the horizon. I didn’t want to leave my parents out here in the cold, but it was too dangerous to linger out here with raiders lurking about. I placed my parents in one grave together and they looked peaceful together. I put my mother’s right hand in my father’s left hand and it somehow made me feel better, but I ignored the feeling quickly and I garrisoned myself in the cellar.

After dawn made its appearance again the next day, I emerged from the cellar and I found my parents unchanged. I started to drop the dirt on my parents from their feet to their heads. I didn’t cry this time because I knew I needed to become strong from this experience and keep moving forward with my life. The mound was irregularly arranged, but I changed my focus to the headstone for them. I didn’t know how to honor their sacrifice so greatly with only a few words carved in stone, and instead, I took two broken planks and twine and I crafted a makeshift cross. I stuck the cross at the head of their grave and I pressed the dirt and ashes together into a neat mound.

No matter how hungry or thirsty I was, I still took a knee and said a few words for the funeral service:

“Mother and Father, I’m terribly sorry I couldn’t protect you. Your deaths were your ultimate sacrifice to me and I am humbly grateful for all you have done to nurture and protect me. I know you wouldn’t want me to result to vengeance because that is not what God wants. Your sacrifices were intended to keep me alive and I will survive by any means necessary.”

My voice became very dry and I could talk no more. I went inside the cellar to prepare myself for the road ahead of me. I took the marauder’s pistols, the remainder of canned food, the last two bottles of water, my parents’ bloody combat knives and their assault rifles, a bottle of painkillers, and I put them all in my backpack. It was a heavy load, but I knew it would get lighter over time. I emerged from the cellar at around noon and the sun shown brightly on my face. I pulled my ripped handkerchief up to my eyes and I put my sunglasses on. I tightened my backpack’s straps and I started on the road.

title: The Lone Wolf (still in working progress; read description before reading short story)

question: Summarize what the story wants its readers to feel.

answer: This story is quite a sad one, with a tragedy described. The narrator starts off the story stating that both their parents were dead after a week's struggle and they were alone. There is destruction everywhere the narrator sees and the narrator describes being a seventeen year old survivor on the road, scavenging for food and water. The description in the story is meant to make the readers feel sad.

question: What imagery is prominent in the story?

answer: The imagery most prominent in this story is the imagery of destruction amplified by the description of "seeing fires blacken rubble and electric wires sparkling." Additionally, the imagery of what happened at the narrator's house with the ambush of him and his parents, and the combat that occurred between them is very prominent. The description of the ammunition and knives involved paint a clear image of what had happened to the narrator and his parents.

question: Where is the narrator headed to?

question: Describe the relationship that the narrator had with his parents.

answer: From the story, it can be said that the narrator was close to his parents. At their funeral service, the narrator took a knee and said a few words to his parents. He was incredibly sorry he couldn't protect them and knew that their deaths were their ultimate sacrifice to him. The loss of his parents was a large one, and the narrator was full of sadness.

Fifteen days after the collapse, the remaining miners aboveground had given up hope, for themselves and for their trapped compatriots. Operations planetside had ground to a halt as they frantically sought to excavate the miners left five miles below the surface of the planet, but with no minerals coming in -- the combined talent of the prospecting team was stuck below as well, so new shafts could not be dug -- the Jobarsky corporation's outpost on barren Iagma could only sustain their drilling for three more days.

The peculiar astronomy of Iagma meant that this part of the planet would go dark shortly afterwards, and stay that way for weeks -- a mere claw of darkness clutching at the life trespassing here. After a respite of four more sunlit days, the long sleek carapace of polar winter, a years-long veil, would come upon the miners in full force, exacting the full sentence for their crime; they were Hypnos and Thanatos, respectively.

An evacuation would come in the days after the first darkness, Hypnos, and take all the miners it could with it. However, the orbital vessel, whose between-voyage life support systems ran on solar energy, could egress its orbit of Iagma no later than the start of Thanatos, or it would not escape the penumbra of Iagma until too late, and the miners would freeze inside their ship.

On the sixteenth day, one of the engineers at the outpost proposed, out of desperation, loading a few of the prospectors from the backup consciousness database, something only done in the case of death to consult the deceased on their wishes -- otherwise, the backup consciousnesses went straight to the renewal labs. The machines could simulate homeostatic conditions on the brain and the interactions of neurons, though in the process, altering the conscious state of the stored persona; when the deceased was restored, the simulated stimulation of their brain would be committed to memory as if it had happened. The experience of almost complete olfactory and tactile sensory deprivation [those two senses required too much computing power to simulate in real time] could prove traumatic to the individual being restored, when recalling the memory. But at a time like this, the risk, though more present than usual, had to be overlooked.

The prospectors were loaded and simulated, and given the data they needed; within the hour, the digging equipment was being redirected to mineral and gas-rich deposits in the rocks of Iagma. One day after that, the outpost had enough fuel to sustain the miners and their life support throughout Hypnos.

Far below the surface of the planet -- five miles below -- the coleopteromorphs work tirelessly to prepare for the long winter. Winter, however, is not so much a measure of whether it is warm or cold, light or dark; it is always warm and always dark. But the blood of the coleopteromorphs remembers a time when fearsome dromaiforms roamed the surface, and every winter, the coleopteromorphs would come to the surface and confront the dromaiforms, biting and pincing and slashing and being kicked and crushed, until chitin and bone laid in great heaps upon the landscape, and the soft insides of both animals seeped into the cool dirt.

Now, the last of the dromaiforms has vanished. Dirt has turned to crumbling clay and rocks, and all that remain are the hard shells and the skeletons, relics of battles fought too long ago. Only the blood remembers, and boils over every winter; coleopteromorphs turn on one another and skirmish, nay, wage war over the meagerest of resources. Workers furiously gather old bone, to be incorporated into the diets of the warriors, so that their shells grow strong.

With the collapse of the tunnels, and the trapping of the workers and their gathered bone on the other side, this colony of coleopteromorphs would be destroyed in the coming winter: no bone, weak shells; weak shells, weak warriors; weak warriors, we are destroyed.

However, some of the aliens were trapped inside our tunnels during the collapse, and upon dissection of one of their dead, we determined that they indeed possess bone. It is, therefore, in our interests to keep them alive and breed them. If this fails, we may need to replicate them by other means. This should not be necessary.

Upon each alien specimen's death, the bones will be collected and incorporated into the warrior diets -- the number of dead we have found in the collapse should suffice for our survival throughout the long winter, and extensive population of our colony with these creatures should serve to create a sustainable form of chitin mineralization. We will resume digging in the summer. There will be no rescue until this time. Repeat: there will be no rescue.

Late day seventeen, a security officer found a tunnel leading downwards into the planet. An investigative team was deployed and found that the tunnel had caved in, similarly to the mineshaft more than a fortnight earlier. More importantly, a great number of the insectoid creatures known to inhabit the depths of the planet were found in this tunnel, some of which were still alive. Two of these creatures were, after a brief scuffle which eventually involved the use of the morphine one of the medical officers on the investigative team was carrying, taken back to the outpost for analysis. No living specimens had been produced before this time.

Early day eighteen, the sun had almost set. The result of the analysis was that these insectoids, incredibly enough, produced hydrocarbons resembling fuel in the presence of excess food. These hydrocarbons could be extracted without killing the creature, so it was in the mining team's best interest to capture these creatures, keep them alive, and breed them. If this had failed, they may have needed to replicate them through genetic sampling and DNA recombination. This was not necessary.

These alien specimens would go on to be used as a renewable fuel source for the Jobarsky mining corporation, deployable on any planet with a thin atmosphere, rocky soil, and cool temperatures. The number of these insectoids they were able to recover was sufficient to provide auxiliary heating and lighting throughout Hypnos. A more extensive population of other planets with these creatures could nearly match the fuel production of a Jobarsky team, which would continue their mining operations in the Iagman summer. There could be and would be no rescue for the trapped miners until this time. Repeat: there would be no rescue.

title: Harvest Interruption

question: What minerals are the miners mining?

answer: Doesn't say, just says minerals.

question: Why did Chad Jones play so little from 2003 to 2006?

answer: Chad Jonathon Jones is an Australia rules footballer. He made his debut with Claremont in 2003 and spent three seasons there, leaving for West Coast by 2007. Jones played less than 20 games over the course of three seasons, which may be due to the fact that he was young and a rookie.

 [monsoon, monsoon arrival, india monsoon, monsoon in india, monsoon onset, kerala, kerala monsoon, kerala news, kerala rain, rainy season, met department] People enjoying in the Arabian sea against the backdrop of monsoon clouds in Kochi, Kerala (PTI Photo)

The Met Department on Wednesday declared the south-west monsoon onset over Kerala, a day later than what was announced in the earlier forecast. However with a plus or minus four days error, the Met Department have said that has come in well within the forecast period.

“We had maintained that the south west monsoon would touch the Kerala coast before June 9 and after observing the strengthning of winds and rainfall activity over Kerala, Lakshadweep and coastal Tamil Nadu we declared the onset over Kerala after checking for all the parameters,”said IMD, Pune Director (weather forecast) Sunita Devi after issuing the monsoon onset in the country.

WATCH VIDEO: WHY THE MONSOONS ARE DELAYED & SHOULD WE WORRY?

She said in the present condition, the south-west monsoon seems to be in a normal pace and even as there was a slight delay of one week, it should cover the country well within the period announced as of July 15.

The conditions observed by the Met Department included monitoring the 14 stations of Kerala reporting widespread rainfall for the last 48 hours with more than 60 per cent of the station reporting rainfall on June 8. The other parameters included the intensity of the westerly and west southwesterly winds over the South Ariabian sea, and the outgoing longwave radiation value which basically shows the cloudiness over the region.

“These conditions were fulfilled on Wednesday in our monitoring. We were monitoring the same from May 10 this year. Earlier when there was an enhanced rainfall activity over Kerala during May 31-June 3, the westerly winds had not reached the required depth. It is not just the rainfall but the winds_both in speed as well as depth that determine the setting of southwest monsoon over Kerala as the process to a certain extent ensures the further advancement over the peninsular India subsequently,”said Sunita Devi.

The onset was delayed by a week and the statistical model used by the department had declared that the monsoon onset is likely to set over Kerala on June 7, with a model error of plus or minus four days. The onset of the southwest monsoon over Kerala represents the start of the rainy season for the country. The normal date is June 1 and the model to predict the onset using six predictors_minimum temperatures over north-west India, pre-monsoon rainfall peak over south peninsula, outgoing long wave radiation over South China sea, lower tropospheric zonal wind over southeast Indian ocean, upper tropospheric zonal wind over east equatorial Indian ocean and outgoing long wave radiation over the south west Pacific region. The model has been issuing forecast for the onset by this indigenously developed model which gives the date with a plus or minus 4 days.

The monsoon, which marks the beginning of the rainy season in the country, is crucial for India’s farmers, especially with several states grappling with drought-related conditions.

_ANOTHER DAY IN THE DEATH OF AMERICA: A CHRONICLE OF TEN SHORT LIVES_ is a 2016 non-fiction book by the British journalist and writer Gary Younge. The book focuses on the stories of 10 American children and teenagers, ranging from the ages of 9 to 19, killed by gun violence within a 24-hour time period on November 23, 2013.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] The book follows the lives and deaths of Jaiden Dixon,[12] Kenneth Mills-Tucker,[13] Stanley Taylor,[14] Pedro Cortez,[15] Tyler Dunn,[16] Edwin Rajo,[17] Samuel Brightmon,[18] Tyshon Anderson,[19][20] Gary Anderson,[21] and Gustin Hinnant.[22]

Younge explores how the deaths are “normal” by American standards—in that none of the stories made national news—but not “normal” by civilized standards. The book was published by Nation Books.

Film Adaptation

David Oyelowo is set to star in the film adaptation of the book.[23] Currently, there is no release date on the film.

Reception

Writing for The Guardian, Gillian Slovo wrote in her review, “The stories that Younge has uncovered are often sensational but he tells them without hyperbole and accompanies them with an analysis that lays bare the reality of being black and poor in America”.[24] Slovo finishes her review by writing, “Despite the composure of his writing, there is passion in Younge’s condemnation of a system that renders the poor and the dark in America invisible. In illuminating the stories of some of these people and of their communities, Younge has provided us with a beautifully told and empathic account that wrenches at the heart even as it continues to engage the brain.”[25]

TRISTAN JAMES BLEWETT (born 26 August 1996) is a South African rugby union player for the New Orleans Gold in Major League Rugby in the United States.[1] His regular position is centre, but he can also play as a winger or fullback.

Early life and schoolboy rugby

Blewett was born in Johannesburg, but grew up in Pietermaritzburg in KwaZulu-Natal. He attended Hilton College, where he was included in various KwaZulu-Natal provincial teams. In 2012, he represented them at the Under-16 Grant Khomo Week in Johannesburg,[2] starting all three matches in the inside centre position.[3] He also started all three matches for a KwaZulu-Natal team that hosted the 2013 Under-18 Academy Week at Glenwood High School in Durban,[4] and at the Under-18 Craven Week – South Africa's premier rugby union tournament at high school level – held in Middelburg in 2014.[5]

2015–2018: Sharks

After school, Blewett joined the academy of KwaZulu-Natal's professional rugby team, the . He was included in the squad that participated in the 2015 Under-19 Provincial Championship,[6] and started each of their twelve matches in the competition. He scored tries in matches against ,[7] [8] and – in both their home[9] and away[10] clashes – before ending the season with two tries in their final match against Free State U19.[11] Despite Blewett's six tries (and a single conversion for a season tally of 32 points),[12] the Sharks endured a poor season, winning just one match and finishing bottom of the log.[13]

Blewett started the 2016 by participating in the 2016 Varsity Shield for .

I wrote this story in under an hour for the benefit of my brother's psychology assignment (he had to psychoanalyze two stories written by someone other than himself).

Recently, Terrence had been spending a lot of time on his office computer. He would sit for days on end, typing away, entering search queries, contributing to forums – everything a standard internet user would regularly do. However, on this particular day, the web treated him with a very different experience.

He had just gotten his coffee from the usual coffee house, just around the corner of his building complex. He was a few minutes later than usual, but, given his position of authority in the company, he had the liberty to define his own working schedule. Once he had entered his office, he logged onto his computer and began doing the standard activities – he downloaded some erotic fanfiction for his favorite television show, resumed typing a short story that he had been working on, and even signed up to have his penis enlarged via the “magic pill”.

When he finally submitted his signup information for the penile enlargement service, he felt something odd pulsating around him. It seemed to be some sort of electromagnetic field, as he could sense the fluctuation and perpetuate regeneration of each and every wave. It quickly became a familiar sensation, and he loved the way it made him feel.

Within a few more moments, he had completely transcended human emotions, becoming almost god-like in the way that he perceived the world. He saw time as nonlinear and indefinite, and felt connected to each individual atom of matter in the universe. He knew what had happened was no accident, for he had become entirely omniscient and had, within the time span of a few minutes, attained all the knowledge that any single being could ever retain.

With his newly formulated flawless decision making capabilities, he decided to emulate his old human personality so that he could continue on with the rest of his day as planned, and deal with his amazing powers when he got home.

However, after experiencing an undeniable urge to have some immediate accompaniment, his powers got the best of him, and he inadvertently created a human life. She stood before him, but not in any sort of wonderment or surprise at instantaneous existence; he was capable of editing reality in a way that would create a personal niche for those who he decided to summon into conscious life, and it would be as if they had always been living.

“My first creation.” he whispered, a wry and clever smirk on his face. She was not taken back, for she had been given the knowledge of his supernatural abilities, and stared at him with both respect and envy.

“What shall we do?” she innocently inquired.

He put up his hand as a signal for her to cease talking, and said, with as much solemnity as any human had ever spoken with: “My dear, it is time to go.”

They vanished and explored the universe together, as inseparable companions. He had gifted her with powers equivalent to his own, and they traveled around, creating galaxies for enjoyment. With each new star, they would create worlds. With each world, life.

It was the impossible pastime. The fantastical hobby. The new life of Dr. Terrence P Jones.

title: The Impossible Life of Dr. Terrence P. Jones

question: What kind of job does the main character hold?

answer: It's not specifically mentioned.

question: How did the main character get his powers?

answer: After filling out an email form, he was gifted them.

question: What did the main character do with his powers?

answer: He made a companion and left to make new worlds.

question: What does the main character do with his free time?

answer: He reads fanfiction and writes short stories.

question: Write a ~4 sentence summary.

answer: Dr. Terrence P Jones worked an office job. He had a fairly mundane morning, until he decided to fill out an application for a penile enlargement service. Unexpectedly, the application gifted him godlike powers and he decided to create a female companion. The two left Earth to create new worlds together.

Hi, I wrote a short story and was looking for any criticism
_____________________________________

I know he dreams of me, as I dream of him, but only in awakening. He whispers me sweet lies, he tells me about the endless possibilities, about the cyan skies and the crimson seas. He tells me about the friends I will have, the family I will love, and the memories I will share. He tells me every about myself, from what I know and from what I do not know. He tells me of my deepest desires, of everything I want. He talks about my hair, my skin, and my toes. The books I have read and the book I will write. He lives for me only.

He is cold to the touch made of steel. I put him on my back and we go everywhere but yet nowhere at the same time. We run as fast as we can, but barely move an inch. We talk into the endless night, but barely say a word. Although he can’t move, he brightens up when ever he sees me. He always sees me.

There are promises of silver and garnets, of marble castles and knights of bold. He tells me about monsters and kings, about where we will walk and what we will sing. He has seen the future, he has seen the past, and he assures me that all will last. He tells me about how fair things could be.

But I know these to be not.
As he is the lying robot.

title: The girl and the robot

question: Who is the robot to the girl?

answer: The robot seems to be a friend and companion to her.

question: Why does the robot lie constantly?

answer: There's no way to know as the story doesn't elaborate on it.

question: What time period does the story take place?

answer: While the story doesn't mention anything explicit, the existence of a coherent, talking robot companion implies it's sometime in our future - maybe 10 years, maybe 50.

question: What kinds of things does the robot speak of?

answer: Pretty much everything.

question: Write a ~3 sentence summary.

answer: The girl dreams of him, and he of her. He tells stories from the past and of the future, whispering sweet nothings. He talks about how fair everything could be, but she knows these won't come to pass as the robot just lies.

BERLIN, Aug. 13 -- Up to 100 German right-wing extremists were arrested in Luxembourg Saturday after trying to stage a rally marking the seventh anniversary of top Nazi Rudulf Hess' death. Most of the right-wingers were detained by police after rioting outside the German embassy in Luxembourg, shouting Nazi slogans, making the Hitler salute and abusing passers-by. Rightists decided to hold their rally in Luxembourg after 30 applications to stage meetings in Germany were turned down by the authorities, and known neo-Nazis were taken into preventive custody. In Germany, a powerful police presence and a string of preventive arrests of known ringleaders ensured the Hess anniversary -- a key date in the right-radical calendar -- passed without incident. Police set up road blocks and reinforced their presence at popular places of pilgrimage for right-wing extremists, such as the site of the former Spandau prison in Berlin where Hess was held for over forty years. Security was also stepped up on Germany's external borders, to prevent extremists from other European countries taking part in clandestine neo-Nazi events. Meanwhile, about 1,000 people gathered in downtown Berlin to demonstrate against fascism, in a move which was repeated on a smaller scale in other German towns. The authorities were taking special pains to avoid a repetition of last year, when neo-fascists from all over Germany converged on the small eastern town of Fulda, exploiting the Hess anniversary for a controversial show of force. During several police raids on suspected neo-Nazis, 24 right-wingers were arrested in Berlin after they attacked a group of German television journalists, wounding one cameraman.

Adolf Hitler's deputy and long-time associate, Rudolf Hess, was arrested in Scotland in May 1941 after making what some historians believe was a secret mission to make peace between Germany and Britain. Interned by the British for the duration of World War II, he was convicted of crimes against humanity at the Nuremberg trials in 1946 and was imprisoned in Spandau, where he hanged himself on Aug. 17, 1987.

question: Why were German right-wing extremists arrested in Luxembourg?

answer: They were trying to stage a rally marking the seventh anniversary of top Nazi Rudulf Hess' death, and they rioted.

question: Does this document include any mentions of violence?

answer: Yes, the year before this document right wingers were arrested in Berlin for attacking a group of German television journalists and wounding one cameraman.

question: What does Adolf Hitler have to do with the subject of this document?

answer: Hitler was a leader of the Nazi party that many of the right-wingers mentioned in the document still support.

question: Were any of those who were arrested charged with a crime?

answer: That information can't be found in the document.

question: Write a ~1 sentence summary.

answer: The document discusses when around 100 German right-wing extremists were arrested in Luxembourg after trying to stage a rally marking the seventh anniversary of Nazi Rudulf Hess' death.

Diary of Wichita Anamel

1887

My family has been surviving off the remaining animals we have in the farm. It’s a little bit fucked up that we’ve already resulted to eating the first born, even though we have 7 meaty, adult cows in our barn. Civilization as we know it has been degraded to a shitty epitome of everything morbid, desperate, and ultimately an aberration of what is considered a day here, in 1887.

It’s pretty disgusting meat too. My family said it’s like a campout, and we can’t have fire. Even though we do have one of those fancy lighters, my parents for some arcane reason do not want to cook this meat. My brother has caught some disease, and since everyone abhors my brother, we are contemplating killing him, cooking him, and eating him. I heard my parents discussing burning him alive just so he can feel the same pain he has caused them for 16 long years. My brother is a avarice asshole who makes decisions based on what is best for everyone. He often skips meals just so the other people in his family can eat more. Yesterday I beat him up and took his money. I then proceeded by calling him a cunt.

I’m going to be candor here, I actually like this a lot. I can’t wait to immobilize him by stabbing a knife into his leg, and tying him up to a post, and then burning him alive. I want him to suffer before his death. I am a very brazen person, and I don’t think I’ll carry the burden of killing him for more than an instant, cause really I do hate him. He’s ugly and he smells like ass.

Day after previous post^

I have gotten more circumspect, and have been in a complacency state for more than 48 hours. I have stabbed my brother, and he is tied up right now. He called me a cunt 7 times. I proceeded to call him a cunt to debase him, it has worked. I kicked him and took his money. I called him a cunt so eloquently to the point where he broke down and cried about how much he has apparently sacrificed so much to help his family. I don’t care, he’s on fire anyways. I’m thinking about drying his bones and possibly using that as fire wood, if his bones don’t work as firewood, I’ll keep them in the fire anyways to express my hatred.

Day after previous thing in diary^

I am elated. I have successfully killed him. He smells really bad, I might have overcooked him just a little bit. My parents have had a more than generous serving, and are currently talking about how absolutely tasty that was. We even put some cooked eel over his eyeballs, it was fantastic. It was the kind of thing that you’d see in a premium restaurant. His eyes were so tender, and the eel was too. They make a fantastic combination.

I will always remember my brother as a feral fucktard until he fades away in my memory. I will sign his death certificate with my poop stick, this way I can disrespect him as much as possible. This follows with my shitting on the birth certification, and pissing on it too. I will then crumple up the shitty piss covered death certificate, and put it in his own ass, which by the way we saved for this occasion. I have been gluttonous with my brother, I have eaten both legs in a day, and I am so full. I think I will inveterate this, and make it an occasion to eat a bitch as a celebration.

Day after something^

This has been a very fantastic apocalypse. I am thriving, and I am jubilant. The death certificate has been in my brothers ass for 7 hours now. I have been eating a plethora of food, and it has been very good for me. Today, I ate a steak that would usually cost $180 at any restaurant, cause its the best piece of the cow. We have plenty of cow left, enough to last virtually a life time. It’s been a quaint time, I am enjoying myself. Plenty of food, plenty of things to do on the farm, and my family is not rash at all. In fact, We are having a great time planning to kill another fucker. Some days, we have been in a staid mood, and some other shit too.

Last Diary Entry

As you can tell by the name of this entry, this will be the last entry. My parents have decided that I should stop using the diary, since it is making me wanton and annoying for some reason. The most fucked up part is that they say I am vexing them for something? I don’t know. My days have been superfluous and it’s all because I am so amazing and serendipitous. I hope you learned something from reading my diary, and it becomes a “how to survive in an apocalyptic scenario” type book, and people really gain some knowledge from it.

title: [RF] Diary of Wichita Anamel

question: What does the story say about how the narrator and his family survive the apocalypse?

answer: The narrator and his family have been surviving the apocalypse by living off the remaining animals from their farm. However they have also resorted to killing and eating the narrator's sick and hated brother. They have enough cow to last a life time but they still prefer to kill the deceased brother. They overcook him, serve themselves generous portions and discuss how tasty he is.


text: He is a not so simple man with an odd beginning. He was born a millionaire. He had everything he could ever ask for. Then one tragic day, his parents were taken from him at a young age. He could have let this tragedy take him over. Destroy him from the inside. He refused. For years he trained in both mind and body. He overcame his only fear. He looked it straight in the face and used it to his advantage. And while others fear the darkness, he uses it as a weapon. No one can know when he will strike. One thing they are sure of is that he will come forth from the welcoming embrace of the shadows, striking fear into the heart of any man. Some will freeze, completely unable to move. Others will try to run. They won’t get far. He will catch them in a matter of seconds. To criminals, he is the monster under the bed. To others, he is the father stopping these monsters from taking you away. Some men, the lucky ones, will walk away unscathed. The others will not be so lucky. Nightmares will ensue. When they wake from the dream, he will be in the corner of their filthy prison cell. He lunges at them. As they are screaming, some even for their mother, he will vanish. The strongest willed men will go insane after a single encounter. Some however, are already insane, and they work to stop this man from taking down their own kind. A crazy inmate from the Asylum just outside the city. A deranged Clown and his crazy girlfriend. Some are simply unnatural. A Crocodile that walks on two legs. A man exposed to chemicals that give him inhuman strength. But in the end, only one man can stop him. Himself. He will be his own downfall. But for now, he is a hero. The silent guardian that will protect those whom he will never meet, even at the cost of his own life. He is The Knight.

title: The Knight

question: What is the Knight's only fear?

answer: The darkness

question: Why do some men walk away unscathed?

answer: The Knight is not all-powerful. some evil folk may be stronger than him.

question: Why would the Knight want to stop himself?

answer: He may become tired of working from the shadows.

question: How does he use his only fear as a weapon?

answer: He hides in the darkness and then pounces from the shadows. People have nightmares as a result of his nighttime attacks.

question: Write a ~15 sentence summary.

answer:
The Knight was born a millionaire. His parents were taken from him at a young age. He conquered his only fear and used it as a weapon. No one can know when he will strike. He will come from the shadows. Some will freeze in terror. Others will attempt to run but they won’t get far. To criminals he is the monster under the bed. To others he is the father stopping the monsters from getting them.

Some may get away. Other will wake from a nightmare to find him in the corner of their filthy cell. They will eventually go insane. Some are already insane. He is the only man who can stop himself. In the meantime, even at the cost of his own life he will protect those he hasn’t met.

Margaret Belcher was born on 18 September 1936 in Christchurch, New Zealand, the second daughter of Nelson and Lesley Belcher. She had a brother John and a sister Pam. She was educated at Rangi Ruru Girls' School, a private academy in Christchurch, and then at Canterbury University College, a constituent college of the University of New Zealand, where she obtained an MA in English. She won a scholarship to study at St Hugh's College, Oxford from 1958 to 1960 before returning to what had become in her absence the University of Canterbury where she completed her doctorate.[1]

Career

Belcher joined the staff of the University of Canterbury in 1962, eventually becoming senior lecturer in the English department. She was a specialist in the literary output of Augustus Pugin. In 1982, she published an article on Pugin in _Southern Review_ and in 1987, while working in London on leave from Canterbury, she produced an annotated critical bibliography of works by or about Pugin, the first of its kind. She began to edit his letters in 1987,[2] a work that eventually ran to five volumes from 2001 to 2015.[3] In 1994, she contributed a chapter “Pugin Writing” to _Pugin: A Gothic Passion_, produced by the Victoria & Albert Museum for their Pugin exhibition that year. The piece brought her to the attention of British Pugin enthusiasts who formed The Pugin Society in 1995.[4] Belcher often supplied articles for the society's journal, _True Principles_.[5]

Death

Belcher died on 29 November 2016. She was unmarried and was survived by her brother and sister.[6]

I realize that, by their very nature, dreams are mysterious and not wont to easily part with their secret meanings. Yet each and every time I slide into the arms of Hypnos, I am overcome with this serenity that has so captivated my soul and heart. It is quite beyond words to describe; it is a sense of being home, at ease, a veritable emotion of well-being so pure and unadulterated that it has become an object of desire in my waking hours. Indeed, I long for the hours in which I may again temporarily leave this world which deigns not to bestow upon me this same miraculous form of bliss, and my great regret is that no matter how firmly and gently I grasp at this wanting ev'ry single night, it manages to escape my clumsy earthly fingers in the morn thereafter. I am then left with this ever-bleeding longing, a wish for time to pass me by gently but quickly, so that I may soon resume my reverie, and preferably close to the place and time where I left off previously. Alas, this wish is seldom granted. Lord Hypnos seemingly has other plans for me those nights, as I am both fond and reluctant to find out time and again.

The scapes themselves are as different as one could imagine. One could be the plain and downright opposite of another, and even if that other was a magnificent picture of calm, peace and beauty, this new discovery shan't be of any shock or worry to me; the great bliss that envelops me in these scapes keeps me safe, as if I am but an observer of magnificent world-lines and divine possibilities far beyond the scope of our own private physical existence. Eyes through mist, so does it seem to present itself in those dreams, though the only regrettable part is always the waking up; the doing away with the security and safety of a world that was created by ourselves, in our proper minds, free from foreign influence or taints that do not originate with our own psyches.

'Tis almost as if those countless lives that I have been offered glimpses of are no less real than this tortuous dwelling in sorrow, just... not quite as accessible. At least not from my current position. So I must contend myself with the glimpses alone, but wond'rous they are indeed. My flesh cannot know the pleasures these worlds provide my mind, the endless and aetheric entertainment that swirls forever in the mists of my own spirit. But lo! Offsetting this sheer joy and freedom is the knowledge that I cannot grasp at it, cannot touch what I feel and see, cannot summon it at will to enjoy it. I must wait, always, for it to come to me, to visit me through the veil of dreams and waking. It must flow across the aether into the streams of consciousness that are human minds caressed by Hypnos' soothing hands. For only under his watchful eye are the streams permitted to mingle and create the dreams we long for. Only by his grace do we experience what it is to be more than what we are.

We are dreamers.

Does this world - so real and solid that it needs no dreamers to keep it aloft in the skies that contain all the celestial bodies - not recoil at the touch of equally solid and dream-free creatures? Does matter not beget matter, and dreams beget dreams?
Then why can I not do away with those thoughts, those memories, that ever-present longing for the next dream, a next chapter in an endless book of magnificent stories, never before told, written only for my eyes?
Can any one creature tell or feel, where is this dividing line?
Are there any who were once part of that other world, but then pushed or pulled, mayhap by sweet-talk and words even lulled, into the next against their will, thereby forfeiting their identities, everything that made them creatures of matter or muse?

How would one tell the difference?

title: Under Hypnos' watchful gaze

question: Who is Lord Hypnos?

answer: It is unclear but he might be some sort of God of dreams.

question: Is matter a dream?

answer: How would one tell the difference?

question: What are the dreamscape like?

answer: Some of them are plain, some are beautiful.

question: Are there other people in these dreams?

answer: It is not clear.

question: Write a ~2 sentence summary.

answer: The narrator struggles to describe a landscape of dreams, ruled over by Lord Hypnos. Eventually the narrator questions whether matter, and reality itself, is dream.

  -   Torgo the dwarf                    -   Stellerex the wizard
  ------------------------------------------------------------------------

Development

_Iron & Blood: Warriors of Ravenloft_ was developed by Take-Two Interactive. Creator/producer Rick Hall stated, “There are a lot of big guns out there and we noticed everyone's games are martial arts-based, but there weren't any fantasy-based fighting games. I'm a big D&D fan, so I thought that would be fun.”[2]

The game was originally unveiled as an exclusive for the 3DO M2 console under the title _Ironblood_.[3] However, Take-Two Interactive later announced that the game would first be released for the PlayStation, with versions for the M2 and PC to come later.[4] At this time they revealed that they had always intended the game to be a multiplatform release for Sega Saturn, PlayStation, and M2, and even started work on the PlayStation version first. They explained that they had only announced it as an M2 exclusive because at that time 3DO was the only one of the three console companies to have approved the game.[5] However, they also mentioned that while the M2 version ran at a resolution of 640×480, hardware limitations meant they could only get the PlayStation version to run at a resolution of 512×240.[6] The Sega Saturn version was officially announced,[7] but eventually cancelled as part of Acclaim's withdrawal of support for the Saturn.[8][9]

The M2 version was cancelled by the end of 1996.[10] Representatives from Take-Two and 3DO said that the two companies had mutually agreed to cancel the game.[11]

The animations for the fighters were created by motion capture filming several members of the Society for Creative Anachronism.[12]

Reception

According to Take-Two, _Iron & Blood_ sold above 150,000 units by the end of October 1996 and accounted for 32.0% of its revenue during that fiscal year,[13] the total of which was $12.5 million. The company's net income in that period was $349,074.[14]

_Iron & Blood_ received mostly negative reviews. Covering the PlayStation version, _Electronic Gaming Monthly_{{'}}s four-man review team praised the large lineup of fighters and said the ability to earn new magic abilities in fights is innovative, but heavily criticized the fighting engine, citing jerky controls and a lack of technique.[15] Jeff Gerstmann of _GameSpot_ outright panned the game, complaining of jerky controls, poor animation, and camera angles which make it impossible for the player to consistently know which button to push to go in the desired direction.[16] A _Next Generation_ critic instead praised the animation and graphical detail, but argued that the fighting lacks innovation. He summarized, “The combos are limited, the special moves are clichéd, and without any noticeable enhancements brought to the actual fighting, the action feels passé. The digitized speech and special effects are average, and the techno soundtrack seems laughably anachronistic against the medieval visuals.”[17] Scary Larry remarked in _GamePro_ that “There's no strategy (we beat the game using a single button) ... Fighters get hit, then end up with their backs to an opponent; you hit a walled ring that can hurt you more than the enemy; and the moves are basic.”[18]

According to GameSpy, “A bargain-bin game from the day it was released, _Iron & Blood_ is best forgotten.”[19]

Legacy

In October 2018, the game's rights were acquired by Canadian production company Liquid Media Group along with other titles originally owned by Acclaim Entertainment.[20]

_SCARLET SPIDER_ is the title of two comic book series published by Marvel Comics about two clones of Spider-Man while they functioned as the current version of the Scarlet Spider. The first volume lasted two issues and was published in 1995. The second volume started publishing in January 2012 and ended in December 2013 with issue 25 after a total of 26 issues, because there was a special Marvel Point One issue published between issues 12 and 13.[1]

Volume 1

The first volume starred Ben Reilly as the Scarlet Spider. It was published for two issues in November and December 1995. The book was a direct continuation, in terms of creative teams and story lines, of the _Spider-Man_ series which the title temporarily replaced for two months between issues 63 and 64.

It was one of four briefly published books which featured the character. The others were _The Amazing Scarlet Spider_, _The Spectacular Scarlet Spider_, and _Web of Scarlet Spider_.

The series began when Peter Parker gave up being Spider-Man to retire with his pregnant wife Mary Jane, and the Scarlet Spider took on his duties. The title returned to its old name and numbering when Ben Reilly took on the Spider-Man name.

The writer of the two issues was Howard Mackie and the pencillers were Gil Kane and John Romita Jr.

Volume 2

[Variant cover of _Scarlet Spider_, vol. 2, #1 (March 2012). Art by Mark Bagley.] On July 22, 2011, during the San Diego Comic-Con, Marvel released an image to the audience depicting a burnt sweater of the original Scarlet Spider.[2] This led many readers to assume that Ben Reilly would be returning and taking on the mantle of Scarlet Spider once again. However, through introduction of the Marvel Now event, Marvel Point One showed readers that Kaine Parker would be the main character in the new Scarlet Spider series.[3]

Ryan Stegman, the series' penciller states that volume 2 is set to be of a darker tone than _The Amazing Spider-Man_ series.[4] Stegman also states that the new Scarlet Spider is meant to be a grittier and scarier version of the original Spider-Man.[5] The writer of the series, Christopher Yost, states that Kaine would be moved to Houston, Texas due to characters in New York knowing that he was a villain in his former life, and that Kaine needed a fresh start.[6] Yost also states that due to the brand new location of Houston in a Spider-Man comic book, several new villains would be introduced in the Marvel world as well as a brand new supporting cast.[7] Yost stated that the Scarlet Spider series would be a story about a former super-villain who is finding himself and is on the pursuit of a journey of self-discovery.

The second volume stars Peter Parker's first genetic clone, Kaine as the Scarlet Spider. After helping to stop Spider-Island, Kaine has been cured of his clonal degeneration. While fleeing to Mexico he stops in Houston to steal money from criminals, but ends up becoming the superhero, Scarlet Spider.

The first issue sold over 50,000 copies, but sales dropped to an average of about 22,000 copies being sold per issue by July 2013.[8] The series introduces several new characters in the Marvel world, such as Aracely Penalba (the demigod superhero known as Hummingbird), Dr. Donald Meland and his husband Wally Layton.[9] The character Annabelle Adams is also introduced in the Marvel world as a love interest for Kaine.[10] The characters play pivotal roles in the growth of Kaine as a superhero.

On July 6, 2012 Marvel teased readers with the submission of an article displaying a logo titled Minimum Carnage, and that more information would be released soon.[11] The 2012 San Diego Comic-Con revealed that the Scarlet Spider series along with the Venom series, would be collaborating for the Marvel event, Minimum Carnage.[12]

On May 10, 2013, Christopher Yost revealed his plans of Scarlet Spider and the Superior Spider-Man meeting for the first time in _Superior Spider-Man Team-Up_ issue #2, in a Marvel arc titled 'Sibling Rivalry'. Scarlet Spider's and Superior Spider-Man's meeting is said to collaborate with the Scarlet Spider and Superior Spider-Man Team Up series'.[13]

Volume Three

Following the events of the 2016 Spider-Man event The Clone Conspiracy, Ben Reilly was brought back after a twenty year absence, and a new Scarlet Spider title written by Peter David was launched. The title ran for 25 issues before folding in late 2018.

Please join Ruby&Sofia in supporting National Pit Bull Awareness Month!

Once known as America's Dog, Pit Bulls have now been demonized by the media and banned from many major cities, towns and countries. The discrimination these dogs face is unprecedented and a sure death sentence, discrimination we would cry foul to if aimed at any other being. These fabulous family and therapy dogs can not seem to catch a break, a break they so desperately need.

Pit Bulls are the number 1 euthanized dog in the United States - with over 800,000 dogs euthanized every year - only 1 in 600 Bully breed dogs have a chance of making it out of the shelter alive. The numbers and statistics are alarming and appalling and with BSL - Breed Specific Legislation -  going into effect all over the world, the number of deaths are sure to only rise. Families are being torn apart and people are being displaced from their homes or having to choose to turn their innocent family dogs over to the authorities to be euthanized just for being a 'pit bull' type dog. This current legislation happened in Quebec City, Canada and is happening in Montreal, Canada, where all bully type breed dogs in shelters will be euthanized and current resident owners of bully type dogs will have to muzzle their dogs anytime they are outside, including their own garden. This is happening even after BSL has been disproven as an effective measure against dog bites, even after leading animal organizations, country leaders and expert individuals have all declared BSL ineffective. In fact, cities with BSL have only seen dog bite statistics go up not down.

It is now time to start prosecuting the perpetrators and not the victims, A call for tougher penalties and jail time for dog fighters and unlicensed breeders, more regulation on licensed breeders, holding owners accountable for spaying and neutering as well as for the behavior of their dogs and encouraging responsible dog ownership is the way forward.  All Dogs have the propensity to bite and no breed should be singled out. Owners must be held responsible for the action of their dogs as they would for the action of their children. Trying to eradicate a breed of dog will never eradicate the desire of irresponsible people to own a 'tough' looking dog and to fight and abuse these same dogs. If we eradicate Pit Bulls which dog will be next that we hold accountable for bad ownership and dog fighting? German Shepherds, Doberman Pincers, Rottweilers, Great Danes,  The list could be endless.. the current demonized breed is Pit Bull, but your breed might be on the list next.

 All Bully breeds need our Help - Please be their voice, please stand up for them and say no more! There are so many ways that we can change their future into a bright, loving family filled life - Stop breeding - Stop buying - Start Adopting - Spay & Neuter - Foster - Donate - Support No Kill Shelters - Notify Authorities of Dog Fighting Rings in your neighborhood and Start Educating People & the Media on the true nature of Pit Bulls - that being loving loyal family dogs - They Need our Help - Please spread the word!

answer: They are the number one dog breed euthanized in the United States.

question: Write a ~4 sentence summary.

   Once upon a time there was a stuffed Tyrannosaurus Rex. Because this is the 21st century and not the 19th, it was made of synthetic materials rather than velveteen.

   This t-rex was given to a boy, and it became his favorite toy. The played together everyday. Pretending to dismember action figures and over turning lego houses was a thrill to the t-rex and it felt almost alive. Especially when the boy and his t-rex terrorized the dolls in the dollhouse the t-rex felt like he was a real dinosaur.

   But one day the boy got sick and went to the hospital, the doctors said it was asthma and it was brought on by dust. Despite being the boy's protests at losing his favorite toy, the boy's mother donated it to Goodwill in her effort to rid the house of all things that might harbor dust.

   The t-rex was lonely in the donation center. He missed the boy. There were no lego houses to wreck here, and all the dolls and action figures around him were already dismembered. Eventually he was sorted and placed on the shelves at a local Goodwill store, and there he stayed for a long time because no one buys stuffed animals at Goodwill; that's just gross.

   One night a fairy came to the t-rex. She told him he was a good toy and his fate was unfair so she would grant him one wish, but he only got one chance to make one wish because those are The Rules.

   The t-rex thought for a bit and said, "I want to be a real dinosaur and go on a bloody rampage all over town."

   "Sorry, but I can't do that," answered the fairy. "See that tag that says 'made from synthetic materials?' That means you are made from petroleum byproducts. Petroleum comes from the remains of dead plants, dinosaurs and other organic things that were buried under sediment and trapped under pressure for a long period of time. You already are a real dinosaur. In fact, you are probably several." And with that the fairy disappeared.

question: Why did the mom get rid of the t-rex?

answer: The boy's asthma was was triggered by the dust his toys were collecting.

question: In what way is the t-rex already a real dinosaur?

answer: He comes from synthetic materials that are made from petroleum, which is made of dead animals.

question: Why does no-one buy stuffed animals at Goodwill?

answer: According to the author, it's gross.

question: Write a ~6 sentence summary.

answer: A boy has a stuffed t-rex made of synthetic materials. After dust triggers an asthma attack in the boy, his mom donates it along with his other toys to Goodwill. The t-rex hates being there. One night a fairy appears and offers to grant one wish, but only one. The t-rex asks to become a real t-rex, but the fairy says as he's made of petroleum, which is composed of dead animals, he probably already is a real t-rex. She leaves without granting his wish.

At least 29 people have been killed in violent protests in India after a court convicted a self-styled "godman" of raping two women, angering thousands of his supporters who said he was innocent.

Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh, the head of a social welfare and spiritual group, was found guilty of raping two female followers in a case dating back to 2002 at the headquarters of his Dera Sacha Sauda group in the northern town of Sirsa.

Supporters rampaged in response, attacking railway stations, petrol stations and television vans in towns across the northern states of Punjab and Haryana soon after the verdict was announced, witnesses said.

At least 29 people have been reported dead and more than 250 people were injured in the two states, said BS Sandhu, a top Haryana police official.

Dozens of cars were burning in Panchkula while a bloodied body lay in the middle of a road. About 500 army soldiers were deployed to restore order.

Bupinder Jishtu said he narrowly escaped the protesters' fury.

"They have burnt my vehicle the devotees of Baba Ram Rahim, in front of me. They have burnt almost 50 vehicles on front of me, and I have saved my life, I got out of the way," he told Saturday AM.

Federal home secretary Rajiv Mehrishi later said the situation was "coming under control".

A doctor at a hospital in Panchkula told the ABC between 50 and 60 people had been injured, and television footage showed medical staff hurriedly transferring injured patients from ambulances onto wheelchairs and stretchers outside a hospital.

Bleeding profusely from his foot was Ravinder Singh, a man who appeared to be in his early 30s.

"I was shot," he told AM.

"Because our Guruji, our teacher, was targeted."

'Justice has prevailed'

A curfew was imposed in three districts in Punjab which are strongholds of the Dera Sacha Sauda group.

Singh commands a following that he claims is in the millions, and supporters started gathering in the streets outside the court in Panchkula on Thursday.

"The court has convicted Ram Rahim Singh of rape charges," lawyer Kohal Dev Sharma said.

"Justice has finally prevailed."

The sentencing will be announced later in the month, media reported. Mr Sharma said Singh faced a minimum of seven years in prison.

'We must respect the law'

Singh, a burly, bearded man who has scripted and starred in his own films, denied the rape charge.

He had called on his followers through a video message to remain peaceful.

Some Indian holy men can summon thousands of supporters on to the streets.

Their systems of patronage and sermons are hugely popular with people who think the government has failed them.

Mobile internet services were also suspended in the states of Haryana and Punjab to stop people from spreading rumours and causing unrest, Mr Niwas said.

In 2014, the attempted arrest of another guru on murder charges ended with his followers attacking police with clubs and stones.

ABC/WIRES

question: Was it correct for the supporters to have attacked?

answer: No, it was incorrect for them to have rampaged in response. The self-styled 'godman' was convicted for a crime and hence should be punished for it.

question: What type of an article does this seem to be?

answer: It may be implied that this is a news article.

question: What may have been the reason for the supporters to rampage in response?

answer: It may be implied that his supporters are too blinded by the faith to see the truth. They may also have refused to believe that someone who they consider a 'god' could be capable of committing a crime.

question: What effect must the rampage have had on the civilians?

answer: It may be implied that the rampage ultimately affected the civilians with their possessions such as cars and motorbikes being burnt. It must have also caused a sense of panic to ensure their safety as soon as they can.
