Devyn wrapped her arms tightly around her sister’s arm while staring fearfully at the man. She pulled her sister back to try to hide her from him  but he was already staring at the two of them with narrowed eyes.

“That’s the guy who murdered that group of people! They couldn’t find evidence that found him guilty but everyone knows he did it!” She rambled on quickly while tugging on her sister’s arm who was only staring at the man curiously.

“Really? I didn’t know,” she said while tilting her head.

Her sister glared fiercely at her. “How could you not know?! It was all over the news!” She yelled before squealing and pulling her sister forcefully causing Rachel to spill some of her drink. “He’s coming this way!”

Josh and Sana raised an eyebrow from the scene Devyn was creating before they followed Rachel’s gaze.

Josh smirked and stood up but Sana scooted all the way to the wall of the building with fear in her eyes.

“There you are! Where have you been?” Josh slung an arm around the man’s shoulder who was glaring down at Rachel as she began to eat some of the mozzarella sticks nonchalantly. “Ladies, this is my best friend Pierce. You probably already know who he is.”

“We’ve met before,” Rachel spoke up as she looked up at the two men. “I didn’t know who he was at the time.”

“That would explain why you aren’t scared,” Josh snickered and Pierced visibly tensed up; his jaw clenching and he sent a glare at Rachel who was only staring at him with curiosity.

“How are you not scared?” Devyn exclaimed looking at Josh with disbelief before squeaking and hiding behind her sister when Pierce merely look at her.

Josh began to noogie Pierce’s hair that was style in a long black ponytail, grinning widely as he did. “I’ve known him since he was little! He wouldn’t do such a thing!”

Sana and Devyn stared at the two in disbelief while Rachel stared at her drink with content before a looming figure rose up behind the two men.

“You two.” The looming figure growled in a low voice as Demie slammed both of their heads together forcefully. “How many times have I told you two to stop terrorizing my new customers?” He picked them up by the collars of their jackets and glared at them with fire in his eyes.

“I wasn’t doin’ anything to them!” Josh argued back but with one glance from the bartender he swallowed his voice.

“The girl didn’t order a drink the when i first took their orders.”

Josh gave him a shaky smile as he began to sweat nervously, stammering over his words as he tried to explain the situation but Demie was already looking at Pierce.

“You need to stop making them fear for their lives, so behave yourself or I’m kicking you out,” he threatened and Pierce averted his gaze from him while nodding.

Demie dropped the two on the floor without a care before looking at the girls with a kind smile who were staring at him with a mixture of relief and fear. “As long as I’m here they won’t do anything to you. Here or outside of the bar.” He looked to Sana who had been watching Josh as he sat on the ground still shaking. “Would you like a new drink?”

She looked from the drink to Josh who was slowly standing up and rubbing the sore spot on his butt. She didn’t feel dizzy or sick, so at least he was respectable.

“No, I’m fine.” She gave him a smile and he nodded.

“If you need anything else, including getting rid of these two, just come up to the bar,” he offered before leaving them to themselves.

Josh cursed quietly as he slowly sat back down in his seat while Pierce dusted himself off, still standing by the booth instead of sitting or leaving.

“He doesn’t have to be so rough,” Josh grumbled as he fixed his leather jacket.

“It seems like you two cause a lot of trouble,” Sana causing Josh to smirk and give her wink making her roll her eyes.

“I am trouble.”

Pierce continued to stare at Rachel who was still eating. His stare was making Devyn’s skin crawl so much she could not bare it any longer.

“Can you move? I need to use the bathroom,” Devyn tapped Rachel on the shoulder and she nodded, standing up beside Pierce who was watching her like a hawk. Devyn quickly left the booth and rushed to the bathroom before Rachel looked at Pierce unafraid.

“Do you wan to sit with us?”

“I’m leaving,” he said shortly before walking towards the door despite Josh’s protests. He left the bar, letting the door slam loudly yet no one else in the bar seemed to notice or care except for Demie who did not want the glass to break.

“Was it something I said?” Rachel asked Josh as she sat back down but he shook his head and shrugged.

“I don’t know, but I should go after him.” He stood up and went to leave before looking back at Sana with a smirk to which she sent him an questioning look. “I don’t have a phone number anymore since I gave you mine. Can I have yours?”

She stared at him deadpanned, looking unamused on the outside but laughing happily at the cheesy pickup line on the inside. “Fine.” She gave him her phone number and he placed the napkin in his pocket before flashing her fingers guns with a wide grin.

“I’ll see you around Dollface.” He winked before leaving the bar quickly and leaving the two girls by themselves.

“He doesn’t seem that bad,” Rachel smiled at Sana who bit her lip to stop herself from smiling.

“I just hope i don’t regret giving him my number.”

text:
“Where were you last night?” Max peered over my Economics textbook. He had a look of anticipation, as if he was waiting for some pain relieving gossip.

“I was home,” I responded innocently before he rolled his eyes at me. “Now, don’t bother me, I’m trying to focus.” Although normally I would use anything to distract me from school, I wasn’t about to involve Max in last night’s mess.

“Are you expecting me to believe you weren’t at Nina’s party?” He raised his eyebrows at me. I didn’t know what I was expecting. Frankly, no expectation in the world would have prepared me well enough. But I wanted to be there for Nina like she had for me. Perhaps I couldn’t fix her parent’s divorce, but I could at least attend her house party. Especially after her break up with Todd, the leather jacket douche that called her “babe” so much I would wonder if he knew her real name.

“I promise you’ll have a great time,” Nina had told me. And at first, I really did. There is something comforting about the stagnant smell of beer penetrating every fiber of clothing and hair follicle. Something nostalgic about repetitive rap songs preaching about the wonders of big asses.

Everything seemed normal at first. The music was pounding loudly and the dim lights carried shadows across the cramped living room. I could feel the air thickening.

Minutes before terror, I was standing unnoticed next to a group of girls I recognized.

“Someone told me her dad was abusive,” I heard one say with wide eyes.

“Yeah, apparently the neighbors called the cops on them,” another responded.

“Well, I wouldn’t point fingers just yet. Nina’s mom’s a bitch. Maybe she deserved it,” a brunette shrugged and took a sip of her drink right before our eyes met. Her face flared red as she realized her words had been overhead. I clenched my fists in rage.

“How about you all mind your own–”. My response was cut short by a piercing scream. I quickly stood up in alert. The room became still. The music stopped and those still standing looked at one another with puzzled looks. The source was nowhere to be seen. It came again, this time along with a cry. I recognized Nina immediately. I pushed my way across the living room and ran up the stairs before barging into Nina’s bedroom.

I noticed him first. His leather jacket shimmered in the moonlight as he stood tall and angry. A millisecond later, I spotted Nina on the floor. Hands covering her face in defense. The lack of light in the room didn’t stop the fierceness of her blood as it dripped down her temple and into her hair.

I stood still. My brain called in fear but my body made no response. Not even when Todd walked passed me, into the hallway and shut the door behind him.

Nina remained on the floor. She held herself and rocked back and forth, letting silent cries out into the thick air.

“Don’t tell anyone.” She whispered.

&#x200B;

&#x200B;

“Hello?” Max snapped at me. “Are you going to tell me or not?” I stared at him blankly as the vivid flashbacks flew through my head. My heart stung in bitterness as I recognized that all I wanted to do was say it. To write it out in sharpie on all student lockers.

Nina’s bloody face burned in my head. “There’s nothing to tell.”

EPA administrator Scott Pruitt, Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke, and the president in happier times.Handout/Planet Pix via ZUMA

Let our journalists help you make sense of the noise: Subscribe to the _Mother Jones Daily_ newsletter and get a recap of news that matters.

Today is beyond nuts. The president’s lawyer has admitted that the president paid off a porn star to keep her quiet during the campaign and has been lying about it ever since. He also admitted that the president fired the FBI director because he had refused to publicly state that the president wasn’t under investigation. He also thinks that pretty much everyone in the Justice Department should be fired in order to bring the current investigation of the president to a halt. And they should probably all be investigated themselves. Oh, and we also learned that the president’s bagman/fixer has been under a wiretap for at least the past several weeks, which might explain some of the panic emanating from the White House. _[UPDATE: It was a pen register, not a wiretap. In other words, just a record of incoming and outgoing calls, not recordings of conversations.]_

Meanwhile, the president’s most corrupt underlings are engaged in a brutal war of all-against-all. Over at the _Atlantic_, Elaina Plott reports that an aide to Scott Pruitt tried to push a damaging story about Ryan Zinke in order to get the spotlight off of Pruitt’s own massive corruption problems:

  In the last week, a member of Pruitt’s press team, Michael Abboud, HAS BEEN SHOPPING NEGATIVE STORIES ABOUT ZINKE TO MULTIPLE OUTLETS, according to two sources with direct knowledge of the efforts, as well as correspondence reviewed by _The Atlantic_….THE STORIES WERE SHOPPED WITH THE INTENTION OF “TAKING THE HEAT OFF OF PRUITT,” the sources said.

  ….Abboud alleged to reporters that AN INTERIOR STAFFER CONSPIRED WITH FORMER EPA DEPUTY CHIEF OF STAFF KEVIN CHMIELEWSKI TO LEAK DAMAGING INFORMATION ABOUT THE EPA, as part of a rivalry between Zinke and Pruitt. The collaboration, Abboud claimed, allowed the Interior staffer to prop up Zinke at the expense of Pruitt, and Chmielewski to “get back” at his former boss.

  ….IT IS UNCLEAR THE EXTENT TO WHICH PRUITT WAS AWARE OF THESE EVENTS. Even so, the message from PPO, according to the senior official, was: “Basically, y’all are in trouble.” A White House official with knowledge of the events added: “ABSOLUTELY NOTHING SCOTT PRUITT DID WOULD SURPRISE ME.” Heather Swift, a spokeswoman for Interior, and Raj Shah, a spokesman for the White House, both declined to comment.

In case you’re confused, the story is that Zinke planned to leak damaging information about Pruitt. So Pruitt then leaked _that_ story in order to damage Zinke.

As for whether Pruitt was aware of these events, give me a break. Hell, it was probably his idea. Pruitt is now at the center of so many corruption allegations that I can’t even keep track of them, and his defense for every one of them has been that it was somebody else’s fault and he had no idea what was going on. Nobody with two brain cells to rub together believes him. Why believe him this time?

But wait. I forgot. Let’s get back to the president for a minute. The president’s lawyer _also_ said that he opposed having the president talk to the special counsel because he didn’t want the president walking into a perjury trap. But a perjury trap only works if the target has done something wrong and gets blindsided during an interview. That’s how Ken Starr bagged Bill Clinton. It _doesn’t_ work if either (a) the target has done nothing wrong or (b) the target knows a perjury trap is coming. Since Donald Trump insists he’s done nothing wrong and his lawyer has obviously warned him about a perjury trap, then he should have nothing to worry about.

Just a wild guess here, but I’m thinking that Trump has not only done something wrong, but he’s done so many things wrong that he can’t even keep them straight. Thus a perjury trap remains a live possibility.

Anyway, it’s kind of funny that Republicans are so disturbed by perjury traps these days. They seemed to think they were great fun back in 1998.

Oh, and one other thing. Sarah Huckabee Sanders, who was so affronted at being called a liar at the WHCD last weekend, has been lying about Stormy Daniels all along too. Or maybe Trump has been lying to her. Who knows? In any case, she’s refusing to comment about it. I think this is probably a smart move.

question:
Answer the following question based on the above passage:

Describe the main point being discussed in this article.

answer: The main point of the article is that Donald Trump's most corrupt subordinates are engaged in vicious infighting, even going so far as to engage in smear campaigns against one another in order to protect themselves from scrutiny. The article speculates that this could suggest his guilt in some larger scheme as the infighting suggests that Trump is not in control of what is going on in his administration. The main implication is that this creates significant potential for damage, both political and legal, for the president.

answer: The main topic of the article is corruption in the Trump administration and how it has caused chaos amongst top staff. The main points of the article are that Scott Pruitt tried to use other corrupt officials to take the spotlight off of himself, and Zinke was trying to take down Pruitt.

answer: This article describes the chaotic events that surround the current White House and the President.

text: The model's response is vague and lacking in detail. The text contains sufficient information for the model to use in its answer.

refinement: This article describes the chaotic events that surround the current White House and the President.

The article speculates that this could suggest his guilt in some larger scheme as the infighting suggests that Trump is not controlling what is going on in his administration. The main implication is that this creates significant potential for political and legal damage for the president.

answer: The main point being discussed in this article is that several White House officials are embroiled in a brutal and seemingly never-ending war of all-against-all. While some of the backstabbing is in service of helping friends, the overall picture is one of widespread corruption, infighting, and betrayal. The result is an increasingly messy and dangerous situation for the Trump presidency.

answer: The main point being discussed in this article is that the president's lawyer has admitted that the president paid off a porn star to keep her quiet during the campaign and has bene lying about it. The president's lawyer also stated that the president fired the FBI director because wouldn't state that the president was not under investigation. With this investigation going on, all parties involved are being investigated and a lot of panic seems to be coming from the White House.

text: There are a couple of grammatical errors in the first two lines of the response that needs correcting.

refinement: The main point discussed in this article is that the president's lawyer admitted that the president paid off a porn star to keep her quiet during the campaign and has been lying about it. The president's lawyer also stated that the president fired the FBI director because he wouldn't state that he was under investigation.

question:
Answer the following question based on the above passage:

What did the president's lawyer cousel the president?

answer: The president's lawyer stated he told the president to oppose talking to the special counsel. He stated this because he didn't want the president walking into a perjury trap. This advice seemed suspicious because a perjury trap only would happen if someone has done something wrong.

answer: Not to speak to Special Counsel

text: The answer fails to mention why the lawyer advised the president not to speak to the special counsel. The model ought to make use of sufficient information provided in the article.

refinement: The president's lawyer advised the president to oppose talking to the special counsel. He stated this because he didn't want the president walking into a perjury trap. This advice seemed suspicious because a perjury trap only would happen if someone has done something wrong.

answer: The president's lawyer advised the president not to speak with the special counsel because he didn't want the president to end up in a perjury trap.

answer: He said that he was peddlying in a perjury trap.

text: The model's response is not exactly accurate. According to the text, the lawyer advised the president not to speak to the special counsel to avoid walking into a perjury trap, but the model's answer says otherwise. This needs to be corrected and written more accurately.

refinement: The president's lawyer stated that he counselled the president to oppose talking to the special counsel. He stated this because he didn't want the president walking into a perjury trap. This advice seemed suspicious because a perjury trap only would happen if someone has done something wrong.

answer: The president's lawyer advised him not to talk to investigators because they could create a perjury trap.

President Trump said on Monday that Democrats who didn’t applaud during his State of the Union address — including Rep. Nancy Pelosi — were “treasonous” and “un-American.”

“They would rather see Trump do badly, OK, than Trump do well,” the president said during an event promoting tax reform in Blue Ash, Ohio, on Monday afternoon. “It’s very selfish. And it got to a point where I really didn’t want to look too much during the speech over to that side. Because honestly it was bad energy.”

Republicans in the House chamber applauded often during Trump’s Jan. 30 State of the Union address, his first as president, while Democrats, led by Pelosi, resisted many of Trump’s applause lines.

“You’re up there, you’ve got half the room going totally crazy, wild, they loved everything, they want to do something great for our country,” Trump recalled, “and you’ve got the other side — even on positive news, really positive news — they were like death. And un-American. Un-American.”

Trump then pointed to the back of the room of the Ohio factory where he was speaking.

“Somebody said treasonous. Yeah, I guess, why not?” the president said to laughter from the crowd. “Can we call that treason? Why not. I mean, they certainly didn’t seem to love out country very much.”

Representatives for Pelosi and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee did not immediately return requests for comment.

Trump described a moment during his speech when he touted the record-low African-American unemployment rate — a figure he has taken credit for, although the drop during his first year in office continued a steep fall during President Obama’s second term.

“I said we have the lowest black unemployment in the history of our country,” Trump said. “It was like, it was a game, you know, they play games.

“They were told, don’t even make a facial movement. And I’m talking about, you have the lowest Hispanic unemployment in the history of our country — this isn’t me saying, this is the charts, the polls. Dead silence. Not a smile.”

Trump said he noticed one man — “probably a reverend,” Trump said — clapping among the Democrats.

“He was probably severely reprimanded,” Trump mused.

Earlier, while urging Republican voters not to become complacent heading into upcoming midterm elections, Trump seized upon comments Pelosi made about the GOP tax cuts. The California congresswoman referred to the bonuses some companies are giving employees as a result of Trump’s tax cuts as “crumbs.”

“She’s a rich woman who lives in a big, beautiful house in California, who wants to give all your money away,” Trump said. “And I’m supposed to make a deal with her?”

Trump compared the remark to Hillary Clinton calling his supporters “deplorable.”

Pelosi, Trump said, is our “secret weapon.”

“I just hope they don’t change her.”

[Arms] RICHARD NATHANIEL CURZON, 2ND VISCOUNT SCARSDALE (3 July 1898 – 1977) was an English peer and landowner, a member of the House of Lords for more than fifty years.

Life

Curzon was the only son of Colonel Alfred Nathaniel Curzon, by his marriage to Henrietta Mary Montagu. He was also a nephew of George Curzon, 1st Marquess Curzon of Kedleston, head of the family.[1]

The young Curzon was educated at Eton and the Royal Military College, Sandhurst, commissioned into the Royal Scots Greys, and saw active service in the final months of the First World War, in France and Belgium, then after the Armistice of November 1918 in Germany, Egypt, Syria, and Palestine. In 1923, he was appointed as Honorary Attaché to the British embassy in Rome.[2] [Kedleston Hall] His uncle's marriage had produced only three daughters, and he was widowed in 1906, leaving Curzon's father as the heir presumptive to the family estates based on Kedleston Hall in Derbyshire and the peerage of Baron Scarsdale.[3] His uncle was also given other peerages, and in 1911 was created Viscount Scarsdale, with a special remainder to his father and his father's heirs male. In 1917, Marquess Curzon, by now in his late fifties, married secondly Grace Duggan, a rich young widow, hoping for a son and heir, but it was not to be.[4] Curzon's father died in 1920, leaving him as the heir presumptive, and on the death of Marquess Curzon in 1925 Richard Nathaniel Curzon became head of the Curzon family. His inheritance included Kedleston Hall, the baronetcy created for his ancestor Sir John Curzon (1598–1686), and the new title of Viscount Scarsdale.[5]

On 14 April 1923, Curzon married firstly Mildred Carson Dunbar, a daughter of William Roland Dunbar. They had four daughters and were divorced in 1946. On 10 August of that year he married secondly Ottilie Margarete Julie Pretzlik, daughter of Charles Pretzlik and Ottilie Hennig, but had no further children.[6] His daughters were:

-   Anne Mildred Curzon (born 1923), who in 1942 married Major W. J. L. Willson, son of Sir Walter Willson, and had two sons and a daughter.[7]
-   Gloria Mary Curzon (1927–1979), who in 1951 married J. G. Bearman and had two sons.[8]
-   Juliana Eveline Curzon (1928–2006), who in 1948 married firstly G. D. S. Smith, and had two daughters and a son before they were divorced. She was later married to Frederick Nettleford (1953–1956), Sir Dudley Cunliffe-Owen (1956–1962) and John Roberts (1962–1972).[9][10]
-   Diana Geraldine Curzon (1934–2013)[11]

Scarsdale returned to the army in the Second World War, as a Captain in the Derbyshire Yeomanry, and was awarded the Territorial Decoration. He was also appointed Commander of the Most Venerable Order of the Hospital of St John of Jerusalem.[12]

On his death in 1977, Lord Scarsdale was succeeded by a cousin, Francis Curzon.[13]

“JANUARY 1ST” (stylised as JANUARY 1ST) is a song by Japanese rock band Coldrain. It is the third single and sixth track on their sixth studio album _The Side Effects_, produced by Michael Baskette, written by Masato Hayakawa and was released on 8 August 2019.[1][2][3][4]

“January 1st” is the first ever soft song by the band to ever be released as a single.

Background

“January 1st” was released on 8 August 2019 as the band's third single and the sixth track off their sixth studio album _The Side Effects_, following the release of the second single “Coexist” which was released just the month prior. It was the last single to be released prior to the album's release.

On 7 August, several teases were made on Coldrain's social media accounts with a photo of lead singer, Masato Hayakawa, surrounded by darkness, as well as a translucent image of him in the same photo which is contrasted by a flame and water. This tease would be followed up by an announcement made of the official music video, which would be slated for release on the following day.[5]

Composition

“January 1st” is an alternative rock song. The track runs at 150 BPM and is in the key of A major. It runs for four minutes and 40 seconds.[6] The song was written by Masato Hayakawa and Ryo Yokochi, it was produced by Michael Baskette.

Meaning and lyrics

“January 1st” is written about Hayakawa's dog, who passed away on January 1, 2019. Struggling to cope with his loss, who felt like family to him. He wrote the song to cope about how he could not let go for someone he loved dearly and had many memories of. As a result of this, the chorus would be a direct reference to how Hayakawa felt about it.[7]

Hayakawa would directly request “January 1st” to be a single and a music video released by the band. This would prove to be ambitious, as it would be the first slow song by the band to ever be released as a single.[8]

Track listing

Music video

The music video for “January 1st” was released alongside the single on 8 August 2019, and was directed by Koh Yamada.[9]

The video starts out with frontman, Masato Hayakawa, walking up from the ocean on the beach during the night to join his bandmates to perform the song. Flames from campfires surround the band as they perform. These scenes are intertwined with Hayakawa singing the song during the day on an escalator, under a bridge, and in the sea on the same beach while also scaling up stairs in a well which symbolises moving on.

As of October 2020, the song has 710K views on YouTube.

text:
As the debate rages about how to handle Baltimore’s ubiquitous “squeegee kids,” I was assigned to spend a couple of afternoons with them as a Baltimore Sun reporter. I was covering a city plan meant to help the kids by treating the underlying poverty that officials say is driving them to clean windshields for dollars. I interviewed bureaucrats, nonprofit leaders, police and motorists. The final step was to ask the boys what they thought.

I had already heard what the community thought about _them._ Depending upon whom you ask, they’re lost boys, businesspeople, a public menace.

I found my front-row seat — a caved-in, plastic milk crate — along the traffic median of an I-83 exit ramp. A group of teenage boys, squeegee blades in hand, wove between vehicles near a traffic light, where the ramp meets North Avenue. This was their regular spot, marked by discarded snack wrappers, frayed backpacks and empty glass-cleaner bottles with faded car wash labels.

It took me some time to find this group. Two other batches of squeegee workers declined to speak with me earlier. But when this crew spotted photographer Ken Lam, who was working with me, pointing his camera lens at them, they marched toward us — shouting profanity.

For a moment, I worried we were provoking a confrontation. I’ve interviewed motorists who described aggressive, sometimes violent, interactions with the squeegee workers. Some say the youths damaged their cars and shook their confidence; they fear driving downtown.

I quickly put on a big smile and explained we were there to watch them work and ask a few questions for an article I was writing for the newspaper. The teens softened and returned to their squeegee work, while I walked over to the median.

I spent just two short afternoons with the boys, catching only a brief glimpse of the way the drivers and “squeegee kids” interacted.

Plenty of motorists waved dollar bills at the teens, and others inched their cars forward when they saw the squeegee workers coming — a small gesture that seemed to say they weren’t interested. No one showed outward signs of aggression.

Instead of money, one woman in a car offered the youth a business card and a promise to make them matching T-shirts. Her card said she worked at an organization that offers volunteer mentoring for college success.

Mayor Young and Tisha Edwards,head of Mayor’s Office of Children and Family Success, discuss "Squeegee Alternative Plan" and deployment of bike patrol officers.

Many stared at me as they waited for the traffic light to turn green. One woman rolled down her window — presumably when she spotted Ken’s camera and my notebook — and asked “What outlet?”

I have to wonder if people altered their behavior toward the kids those days, because they knew I was watching. I have the same question about the squeegee workers, who generally tolerated me and my questions.

I heard the boys refer to themselves as “entrepreneurs” and to the drivers as “clients.” They said they have “regulars” who offer money daily at that intersection, which they share with others. A man dressed in a full suit sold bean pies to motorists from a nearby traffic median (the boys said his pies were “the best”). And a panhandler passing by warmly greeted one of the teens by name before continuing down the street.

Part of the appeal of squeegeeing, the teens said, was that they don’t have to rely on anyone besides themselves for money. On a good day, the boys say they can make around $100. On a bad day, they might look out for each other. I watched one teen share a portion of his earnings with a friend, who had made a paltry $14 that afternoon.

Some of the youths reported saving their money — even the coins, which some others tossed away, insulted — for a rainy day or an emergency. Others said they use the cash to pay for necessities: food, clothes and hygiene products. Several of the teens wore the same clothes two days in a row.

It’s not easy work. Some described how their feet were run over by cars and their fingers pinched by windshield wipers turned on without warning.

My work is often done from the comfort of a desk, where deadline pressure makes it tempting to stay — leaning on social media comments and viral videos to color my coverage.

But to really get a sense of an issue, or a group of people, you have to get out in the world.

The milk crate is optional.

question:
Answer the following question based on the above passage:

Why are some people worried about the squeegee boys?

answer: Many people have expressed fear and discomfort around the squeegee boys, worried about aggressive behavior and damage to cars. The author's experience spending time with the squeegee boys on an I-83 exit ramp leads them to conclude that there is not a significant problem of aggression. Rather, most of the drivers simply ignore them, while others do seem to offer money or niceties to the boys. The motivation for the boys appears less to be extortion or destruction, and more likely to be financial necessity.

text: Much of this answer is not relevant to the question being asked.

refinement: Many people have expressed fear and discomfort around the squeegee boys, worried about aggressive behavior and damage to cars.

answer: Some people are worried about the squeegee boys because they are afraid that the youth are aggressive and may damage their cars. Others believe that the boys engage in criminal behavior. While observing them, the author found that their interactions with motorists at the intersection were rarely aggressive, and the boys often shared their earnings with their peers in need. Rather than engage in criminal behavior, the squeegee boys seem to be motivated by the need for money to cover essential needs.

answer: Some drivers worry they're being had out there.

text: Answer is inaccurate.

text: The answer should mention the public perception of the squeegee boys.

refinement: Some view the squeegee boys as a public menace.

text: The answer should mention the claims of violent interactions.

refinement: Some view the squeegee boys as a public menace. Some motorists describe them as aggressive and violent, with the youths damaging their cars.

answer: Sometimes the boys are violent. Some call them a public menace. The author has interviewed motorists who had their cars damaged and their confidence shook. This gives the boys a sometimes bad reputation.

answer: Drivers feel intimidated and some say they were physically abused as well.

question:
Answer the following question based on the above passage:

Why do the boys refer to themselves as entrepreneurs?

answer: The boys refer to themselves as entrepreneurs because they earn money by cleaning windshields. They see themselves as self-sufficient businesspeople providing a service to motorists.

text: The text does not provide a reason for this.

answer: Many drivers referred to them as entrepreneurs, and the boys built upon that language.

answer: The boys are able to make $100 a day, which appeals to them because they do not depend on anyone else for money. Sometimes some boys do not make enough. Then other boys help them.

answer: They believe they are their own boss and they are in charge of making decisions.

answer: The boys refer to themselves as entrepreneurs because they see the drivers they clean windshields for as their primary customers. In order to make money, they need to be able to convince drivers to part with their money. By describing themselves as entrepreneurs, the teens are identifying themselves as savvy businesspeople.

Dawn of Darkness
Dark clouds blocked out the sun. Thunder rolled and boomed, as lightning lit up the skies. Below, the salty waves tossed and tumbled, growing larger as the wind whipped and raged from the north. The rain came down in torrents, pelting the deck of the wooden ship, and soaking the wood. The first mate barked out orders to the crew who busied themselves to carry those orders out. The sails were taken in, so as to not be blown off course. The idea was to wait out the storm, as the waves weren’t so bad that they needed to get out of danger. Near the bow, on top deck, a woman cloaked in a silver robe stood by a man who was robbed in royal purple. Both had crowns fastened to their heads. Soldiers stood by, on edge from the storm, but otherwise relaxed. The man smiled down at his wife and looked to the small bundle of joy she held in her arms. A small child, nearly a year old, rested against her mother’s breast. She had dark, nearly obsidian black hair. Her emerald green eyes were closed now, resting while the storm raged on around them. Her little fingers curled tightly around her mother’s necklace. Their calm was shattered by the sound of lightning as it hit the main mast. The following boom of thunder was loud enough to wake the dead. Deckhands scrambled as they tried to put out the fire that was quickly spreading, but another bolt of lighting struck the ship near the stern, and soon they understood their battle with the flames was a lost cause. The captain readied the life boats, and had the king and queen begin to board. A large wave crashed into the side of the ship and the queen and her child were sent flying over the side. The life boat was lowered down into the unforgiving seas. The queen tried to stay close to the boat, but between holding her child’s head above the waves and the weight of her attire, she was quickly losing strength. She felt something brush up against her. The queen was so tired at this point, her arm holding her child threatened to release her. She saw the life boat coming for her, she knew she would be safe soon. But her child.. Suddenly she felt her child being taken from her arms, as if the water itself was wishing her to drop the child. She screamed up at the skies to whatever god might be listening.

“Save my baby, please! Save my Allene!”

Something came up from the waves, a sleek head, covered in scales, long like a horse’s. two horns upon the top of it’s head that looked like blackened icicles, Nearly glowing blue orbs seemed to bring the queen into a state of shock. This was a water dragon. Feared for their ever-changing moods, and loved for their kindness. The desperate mother, without a thought, handed her child up to the dragon, who took it in it’s maw gently. But as the life boats came closer, the dragon’s eyes became a glare. There was a man raging in the small life boat, he was screaming out of fear, and waved a sword in the air. The dragon gave a deep growl and sunk below the waves.

The queen screamed in horror as she watched her baby disappear beneath the black waves, her strength gave out and she began to sink, hoping to join her child in a watery grave. Large hands pulled at her soaked body before she could embrace the darkness that surrounded her and she was pulled into the chaos of life. She sobbed openly as her king held her, the dread and hatred in his eyes was enough to keep the crew silent while they worked on getting everyone safely to shore. The closest line of safety being Conach Moore, an island that held many mountains. On the eastern side there was a small village that would be able to help them get home to Riochtdome.

Beneath the unforgiving waves, in the calm depths of the ocean, the water dragon still carried the young child in it’s maw, a protective barrier surrounded it so that water did not enter the child’s lungs. The dragon had sensed darkness in the King’s heart and sought to save both the mother and the child, but when she had looked for the mother, the king was already pulling her with him. With a heavy heart she took the child to her home, Farlig Dyre. It was a rather large island, filled with forests, mountains, rivers, and plains. It was a beautiful land where Humans dared not tread, and Dragons lived peacefully. She swam up to the edge of the massive cliff that served as a shoreline, digging her claws into the rough earth as she hauled her long, lithe body up the mountainous wall. Her deep blue scales dripped water and left a wet trail as she climbed over the wall and onto the soft lush grass of the northern forest. She placed the now awake, and yet peaceful child, onto the ground. She held her massive head to the sky and beckoned her elders with a roar. As she waited for the sounds of familiar wings beating against the wind, she gathered a few logs and used her claw to dig a small, shallow hole She placed the logs inside and lit a fire with her maw. Her fire was blue, but unlike most fires, it wasn’t as hot as it should be. It was warm, like a sunny day rather than a bursting inferno. She placed the child near the edge of it so as to keep it warm, spreading one of her small wings over her so as to keep her dry. She curled herself up around the child the mother had called Allene, and looked to the skies, awaiting the judgment of her elders.
