   My footsteps echoed across the bare room. The white walls were lined with dirt and grime, leaving me to wonder how a room that lacked walls and windows, could become the dirty, eery looking room that stands before me. I turned my head to the right, and notice a single mirror leaning against the wall at such an angle that I could see my being staring back at me. My red hair was slightly frayed, with the area surrounding the brim of my forehead pointing towards the ceiling as it always does. My face, freckled but strong handsome, had a layer of dust on it as if I had been abandoned in an abandoned room for days. My blue and black flannel shirt drew itself across my torso, and was rolled up at the sleeves. The white undershirt lie matted against my skin, wet with sweat. My blue jeans looked as though I had been rolled around in the dirt for hours, as did my boots. I have always been physically fit, with naturally dense muscle, but I was always too lazy to work-out so I never had the body of Zeus, but still I was well-built.

   As I turned to look away from the mirror, it seemed as though my reflection continued to stare at me, un-phased and unchanged. My gaze returned to my reflection, which was following my every move once again. I must have been imagining it, I thought to myself as I turned to walk around the room.

   I approached the wall on my left and noticed something that I hadn't seen before. Dirty handprints lie sprawled against the wall, from the ceiling to the wood floors. Grimy footprints faced the wall, and as I crouched down to examine them, another footprint appeared, facing the opposite direction. Surprised, I fell back onto my rear as another print appeared about a stride's length from the other. I stood quickly and followed the footsteps as they traversed to the center of the room, then turned to face the mirror, momentarily resting before finishing its trek towards the reflective glass. When the footprints reached the mirror, I glanced up at my reflection, to try and determine exactly what had just happened.

   My eye caught a movement at the bottom of the mirror, the footprint had made another move. The heel of the print was stamped into the ground just before the mirror, but the other half... the other half continued into the mirror, as if it never existed. It travelled across the floor being reflected by the mirror. I almost wanted to attempt to go test to see if it was stable myself...

  "It's as real as you are." My voice entered my ears, but they did not exit through my lips, where could it be coming from... I looked up to see my reflection staring at me. His lips moved freely as he used my voice. "This world is filled with wonders. Even some you can't explain. Sometimes, you just need to take a leap of faith, and see what comes of it. After all, the brave don't live forever, but the cautious don't live at all."

   My hand reached out to touch the glass, but as my fingers touched the reflective surface, my hand passed through it, the reflection rippling as if it were a liquid. I took a step through into this mirrored world. I took a step into this new world, and walked across the identical room. I turned towards my reflection, but he wasn't there, not even in the world I came from. I felt the world begin to shake, and a deafening sound of laughter filled my ears. The violent quake caused me to topple over, and my body hit the ground...

My eyes bolted open to see three of my friends standing above me with a can of shaving creme in on of their hands. I felt the creme slide off my face. "Really guys?" was all I could say after that dream. "Ah come on, you know we love you," my bestfriend Michael said with a smirk. "Yea you better love me," I retorted as I wiped the shaving creme off of my face and threw it at him.

The footprints on the floor are moving, and the narrator reaches out to touch the mirror and passes through it, entering this mirrored world. The world is filled with laughter and begins to shake.

answer: The imagery in this story paints a picture of abandonment, endurance and perseverance after a lengthy passage of time without any means of knowing how much time because there are no clocks, no light, and no windows in the place of the mirror.

answer: While the narrator is trying to figure out what's going on in the room, he spots a mirror leaning against a wall. At first, he observes blots and smears of grime cover the surface of the mirror. His body is covered with sweat, so his undershirt becomes painfully matted to his skin, reddening it slightly. He looks in the mirror and it appears as if nothing has changed. However, his reflection stares blankly into his eyes. He is significantly more alarmed by this than anything else that has happened while in this strange house.

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

Summarize the climactic event of the story.

answer: The narrator says he dreamt the other world, where his scary reflection was watching his every move. He proceeded to change the world to the opposite, putting a mirror carnival hall. He was so confused that he accepted the other world. But as he entered, things begin to shake, and he learned the world is nothing but a dream.

answer: Despite the scene being written in 3rd person, it sometimes directly refers to itself as "I". When "I" reaches the mirror and attempts to make contact, the reflection begins rippling, and laughs. Lifeless as the protagonist feels from the effects of a spray of shaving cream, his brain imagines all three of them laughing at him, so he defends himself by accusing his friends of doing something insensitive by pretending to be a mirror. He was then hit with the realization that he's not in the mirror, pushing him to the ground.

answer: The climactic event of the story is when the narrator falls out of the mirror. The narrator falls out of the mirror and into the new world.

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

Would the dream that the main character have change their beliefs on phenomena and ghosts?

answer: No

answer: No answer

answer: Yes. The setting for the dream is a seemingly abandoned room. It would seem cliché to give the main character a supernatural being that he can call his own. They dream of him as a character only in a dream.

answer: It is possible that the dream would change his beliefs.

answer: The dream has no effect on the main character's beliefs about phenomena. He wakes thinking about it very briefly after the men shave him. This doesn't build his suspension of disbelief, making him accustomed to the idea of ghosts and such.

answer: It is not possible to say.

text:
Urban legends are a sort of wish. They are a prayer borne from the suffocating dullness of life. But sadly, more often than not, the truth behind urban legends is just as boring as the people who imagine them. We dream of such possibilities because we, as the boring, don’t truly understand what it means to be interesting. The only time life becomes exciting is when there are things of value at stake. This cannot happen in the safe little bubble we build for ourselves. So we create these legends in lands far away starring people we’ll never meet because despite our infinite wishes for a more exciting life, none of us is willing to pay the price of excitement.

Humans are impossibly powerful. As a collective being, they can create anything and destroy anything. Entire worlds can be obliterated by humans. So what happens when the entire race all believe in an urban legend? Things move into place. Things happen as if by divine providence to make sure that this legend exists somewhere in this world. Somewhere in this world, there is suffering and cruelty, and why is this? It is because we all wished it to be so.

This is a story of entirely human creation. This is the legend that we have created. The suffering in this story is our fault. The deaths of these people are our fault. But ask yourself, would you really want to live in a world without suffering? What if every dollar you ever made was yours forever to keep? Would you really cherish each and every paycheck? We want this world to suffer. We want these people to die. Because if their lives aren’t used to remind us of the fragility of our own, who’s would?

Then, maybe, perhaps just maybe, there might arise a hero to remind us of our own glory. This hero will transcend our understandings of our own courage, compassion, and humanity. This hero will never be born from the safety of an air conditioned living room. No, this hero can only be born out of the most desecrate of positions and in these impossible conditions; this hero must thrive through his own power and will.

-

“We can’t let this continue!” Her voice booms in front of the crowded street in front of her. Her 6 foot figure towers on the podium in front of the crowd of people of all ages, sizes, and colors. Their eyes look at her hungrily. “These people do not deserve to suffer while we have so much! We all have the ability to save a life!”

She is wearing a lot of makeup. The foundation alone cost her hundreds of dollars. She is young for the amount of power she has, she is only in her early thirties. “It is one thing to reduce yourself to poverty, and quite another to be born in poverty!” She is the champion of the poor. “The children in the slum grow up on violence, disease, scarcity, hunger, parasites, predators, and death! Most of their parents die before they are even ten!”

She is wearing a blue blazer that cost somewhere in the thousands. She clutches the podium hard in her passion. Her mouth moves very deliberately illuminating her deep red lipstick. Her diamond wedding ring leaves an indent upon the lavish oak podium. “That is why my company is starting Project Persist. I hope that we can set an example for the rest of the world to follow.” The cameramen scamper to every corner of the crowd trying to find the perfect angle. “I implore the rest of the world to forget about your selfish greed for just a second for the children in these slums!”

The crowd erupts into applause. They have all gathered in the extreme summer heat to show their appreciation of this woman. She is the champion of the poor. Their standing is only made possible by multiple high powered electrical fans stationed sporadically around the street. These are the supporters of the poor.

The woman on the podium raises her hand to silence the crowd. She waits patiently as they calm down. “Let us join together to combat the evils of poverty! No child deserves to die for something a dollar could’ve fixed. No brother deserves to be forced into violence to provide his family with something a dollar could provide. No mother deserves to mourn over a loss that a dollar could’ve prevented.” The woman puts her slender right hand over her heart. Her thumb covers her pearl necklace. “That is why I have dedicated my company to saving the slums! Unity Health will do everything within its power to save these children from utter destruction! Starting today, we launch Project Persist! This will be the cornerstone project of the world.”

The crowd once again erupts. They look up through their minor sweat and discomfort to the angel of the downtrodden. The woman steps away from the podium into the open stage, careful to balance on her new thousand dollar heels. She takes from behind the podium a bottle of the finest champagne money can buy. She will spare no expense for the battle against poverty. “Let us commemorate this moment with a drink. I, Charlie Swearinger, swear that with the power of my company, I will provide the sick the medicine they need to not just survive, but to prosper! I will supply the slums with as much medicine as they could ever hope for and eliminate all disease in the area so that there will be less death, less violence, and less poverty!”

Charlie opens the bottle of champagne making sure to shake it thoroughly before doing so. Champagne shoots out of the bottle spilling on the crowd below. They laugh and scream, dancing in the most expensive shower in the world. Charlie takes a swig of it once the foam has stopped erupting. “In the spirit of spreading wealth, I have decided to partner with a small distribution company, Angel Company, which I believe will empower them to realize their own potential. I have high hopes for Project Persist.”

The crowd re-erupts into applause much louder than before. They pound their hands together so hard that it hurts. They smile maniacally with their glazed eyes open as wide as they can go. They don’t want to miss a second of their messiah saving the world.

Charlie didn’t have high hopes for Project Persist. She only agreed to supply Angel Company with expired medicine. She only agreed to partner with the cheapest and smallest distribution she could without seeming stupid. She only agreed to Project Persist to combat the fallout of a known failure in one of her more widespread drugs. Angel Company had stupidly agreed to all responsibility and liability of the project. All she had to do was give them the drugs.

She did this because it was inevitable. As if by divine providence we force the legends we imagine in our hearts to come true. We don’t purposefully create suffering, nor do we deliberately deliver pain. Instead, we unconsciously create the conditions where pain and suffering become inevitable. We take more than we need. We admire the selfish and exonerate the greedy. Subconsciously, we know that if others have less, we have more, and the less other people have, the more we appreciate what have.

So our sole purpose in life becomes to acquire as much as we can obtain. We call it self-actualization and we call it realizing our own potential, when really it is simply taking from others so that we may be relatively better off. Through our insatiable need to love our own lives, we demand that the world suffer for us. We demand that we create stories and legends of immense pain and redemption as to remind ourselves of our own pleasures. So we torture the world. And sometimes, just maybe, a hero might arise from this torture to remind us all of the humanity that we have lost, if only for a second.

It is to this end that we have created this broken city.

answer: [rewrite]

answer: No answer

answer: No answer

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

Summarize what the passage says about Project Persist.

answer: This is one of the main themes of the story. The main character, Charlie Swearinger, claims she owns a pharmaceutical company called Unity Health, and proceeds to launch a new, unique program called Project Persist. This program intends to help educate the people in the snake pit, or slums. It spawns from her inability to help the people because although the people needed access to medical services, mere donating medicine was not enough because it wasn't the distribution of medicine that was the problem, it was the fact that clinics and hospitals in the slums were have very little equipment to help with the malnourished, worn-out and abused people. Project Persist intends to provide the local healthcare clinics with much-needed equipment to improve their conditions, as well as continued education on disease prevention. Swearinginger goes on with her speech, shaking her fist as she declared her drive to help the poor. Almost immediately after the speech, Angel Company (a smaller drug and hotel distributor), makes a deal with Unity Health. A few days later, Swearinginger announces that they have partnered to contribute to Project Persist and they both had a celebratory toast. Charlie Swearinger and Angel Company really had nothing planned except for this blank check she drafted to give to Angel Company with the project. She plans to use this company and their money to pay for her own failed drug trial.

text: The entire response is incorrect for a number of reasons, the most critical one being that it failed to answer the question. The rest are way out there and can't be corroborated because the information is unavailable. A full rewrite is needed.

refinement: Project Persist is a project launched by Charlie Swearinger's company, Unity Health, in partnership with Angel Company, a small distribution company. On the surface, Project Persist was supposed to help the poor by providing the slums with more than enough medicine to eliminate all diseases. This would then lead to less death, less violence, and less poverty. However, Charlie only did the project to mitigate the fallout of the failure in one of her drugs and she only agreed to supply Angel Company with expired medicine. Charlie also took Angel as a distribution partner because they were the cheapest and smallest, plus Angel agreed (stupidly) to shoulder all responsibility and liability for the project.

answer: Charlie Swearinger, the CEO of Unity Health, starts Project Persist. The project is meant to supply medicine to the slums. Charlie is only doing this to combat the fallout of a known failure in one of her more widespread drugs. She is only giving Angel Company expired medicine. She is only partnering with the cheapest and smallest distribution she could without seeming stupid.

answer: Project Persist is a project started by a rich philanthropist. Her company, Unity Health, will provide expired medicine to the refugees of the slums. Her plan is to send doctors and nurses to the refugees with food, water, and expired medicine, causing more death, violence and poverty in the slums.

text: It's difficult to support the idea that Charlie is a philanthropist because it was never mentioned anywhere in the story. This should be replaced with "Charlie Swearinger"

answer: Project Persist is a project started by a rich philanthropist. Her company, Unity Health, will provide medicine and healthcare to the refugees of the slums. Her plan is to send doctors and nurses to the refugees with food, water, and medicine...

answer: Charlie Swearinger, the champion of the poor, announces Project Persist, a cornerstone project of the world that will save children from utter destruction. She says she will partner with Angel Company and supply them with expired medicine. She does this because it is inevitable.

text: The response should mention the fact that Charlie is being insincere and is lying about really helping the poor.

refinement: Charlie Swearinger, the so-called champion of the poor, announces Project Persist, a cornerstone project of the world that will save children from utter destruction. She says she will partner with Angel Company and supply them with expired medicine. She does this because it is inevitable.

[Karen Gillan]
Karen Gillan

Karen Gillan has no where to live following the completion of filming on 'Doctor Who'

Karen Gillan is homeless after finishing 'Doctor Who'.

The actress recently finished filming her final scenes for the series after three years, and has since put her belongings into storage, as she doesn't know where she will end up next.

She said: "After everything being so structured, it's the best feeling in the world. I have put my belongings in storage, so I don't have a house anymore I love travelling so I'll see where I end up."

Karen has recently filmed her first movie role in 'Not Another Happy Ending', but is unsure about whether her next step will be a move to Hollywood.

She added: "'Doctor Who' has been amazing for opening up doors, but I don't think about the transition from TV to film. It's best not to keep thinking about that big leap people keep talking about. From an acting point of view it's no different."

The 24-year-old star was promoting the movie at the Cannes film festival recently, which she said was an eye opening experience.

She told Hello! magazine: "Part of me finds this whole thing hilarious because it's so decadent and ridiculous, with everyone going crazy for a few days."

Unions representing Canadian journalists want five Postmedia executives to reject bonuses totalling $2.275 million as the struggling newspaper chain continues staff reductions.

The company awarded Postmedia president and CEO Paul Godfrey $900,000, CFO Doug Lamb $450,000, COO Andrew MacLeod $425,000, legal and general counsel Jeffrey Haar $300,000, and National Post president Gordon Fisher $200,000, according to financial documents filed Wednesday.

The money will be paid out over three instalments with the first cash payment already distributed on July 15. The next two payments will be made Dec. 2 of this year and July 14, 2017.

The bonuses were part of a retention plan to keep key employees with the company during and after its recently completed debt restructuring, which reduced its total debt of $648 million by about $307 million.

“It’s not unusual” for a company to implement such a program during these types of transactions, said Postmedia’s vice-president of communications, Phyllise Gelfand.

However, one of the five executives, Haar, will leave Postmedia at the end of November, she said. Gelfand could not confirm whether Haar is still entitled to the next two payouts of his retention bonus.

The Communications Workers of America Canada President Martin O’Hanlon said in a statement that the executives are acting in an unconscionable manner by accepting the extra money while asking employees to volunteer for buyouts or risk another round of layoffs.

“This is an absolute disgrace,” he said, calling on the five men to return the money.

Unifor Local 87-M, which represents Ontario’s unionized newspaper workers, called on the executives to give the money to Postmedia’s employees.

“That money should be spent to retain workers,” said union president Paul Morse in a statement.

Postmedia said last month it was looking to cut salary costs by 20 per cent.

The newspaper chain offered its employees voluntary buyouts in late October. The company has not yet announced whether the program reached that target, but has said layoffs may be necessary otherwise.

As of the end of August this year, Postmedia had 4,233 full-time equivalent employees, according to its financial documents — down from 4,733 a year prior. In January, the company laid off 90 people and merged newsrooms in four cities where it owns two newspapers in each market.

Gelfand said the company had no comment on either the union’s demand for the executives to return their extra pay, or the optics of simultaneously handing out hundreds of thousands of dollars in bonuses and working towards reducing salary expenses.

Despite the bonus, Godfrey’s total compensation fell by nearly $100,000 for 2016, while that of the other four executives rose this year by $29,800 on the low end and $113,456 on the high end. Each of their base salaries remained the same as in 2015.

Last year, the five executives and Wayne Parrish, the company’s former COO, received bonuses for their work when Postmedia acquired Sun Media’s English-language newspapers and digital properties.

TALLEY BEATTY (22 December 1918 – 29 April 1995) was born in Cedar Grove, Louisiana, a section of Shreveport, but grew up in Chicago, Illinois. He is considered one of the greatest of African American choreographers, and also bears the titles dancer, doctor, and dance company director. After studying under Katherine Dunham and Martha Graham, Beatty went on do solo work and choreograph his own works which center on the social issues, experiences, and everyday life of African Americans.[1] Beatty and his technique and style of dancing were both praised and criticized by critics and dancers of his day.

Dance background

Beatty began studying dance at the age of fourteen with Katherine Dunham. He learned her style of dancing, which was heavily based on her African and Caribbean studies of dance in the West Indies. He was a part of Dunham’s company and performed in several shows with them. He also trained under Martha Graham in the 1940s.[2] He left the Dunham troupe in 1946 to continue his studies in New York City. He took ballet lessons in New York, but because he was African American he was forced to attend dance classes in the early mornings or late nights in a dressing room while classes were going on in an adjacent studio.[3]

Beatty continued his work as a solo artist and choreographer. He explored a variety of different dance roles and styles.[4] He appeared in films such as Maya Deren's _A Study in Choreography for Camera_ (1945) and stage shows such as Helen Tamiris’s revue _Inside U.S.A._ (1948). He danced in Broadway musicals such as _Cabin in the Sky_. He was nominated for a Tony Award in 1977 for choreography for the Broadway show _Your Arms Too Short to Box with God_ (1976).

He also danced in nightclubs, for musical theater, and on the concert stage.[5] He even did a minstrel ballet titled _Blackface_.[6] Beatty also choreographed for a variety of choreographers including Ruth Page, Lew Christiansen, George Balanchine, and Syvilla Fort.[7] He choreographed over fifty ballets[8] and did work in America and Europe.

Dance technique

Many dancers and critics described Beatty’s dance style as a mix between jazz and ballet. “His self-described style is a mixture of Graham connective steps, Dunham technique, and a little ballet with Louisiana hot sauce on it”.[9] His choreography is also described as “fast, exuberant, [and] explosive,”[10] Beatty explored movement that extended outward from the extremities such as leg extensions and back arches.[11] Dancers in the documentary film _Talley Beatty: Conversations with Contemporary Masters of American Modern Dance_ state that his choreography is very physically demanding and technically challenging and that in order to dance in one of his works a strong knowledge in at least four different disciplines, including ballet and modern dance, is needed.

Criticisms

John Martin, a famous white dance critic during the early to mid-1900s, criticized Beatty’s dance style as too much ballet during this particular time period, in which there was much racism and stereotyping, ballet was thought of as a “high art” that was reserved for white dancers. Other critics such as Margaret Lloyd praised Beatty's technique in her work _The Borzoi Book of Modern Dance_. Lloyd wrote that she found his leaps “phenomenal, a sort of universal wish fulfillment to navigate the air”.[12]

Themes in choreography

Beatty’s work explored themes around the struggles and everyday life of African Americans. Many of his pieces focused on his own “personal statements about alienation, racial discrimination, and the hardships of urban life”.[13] In the film _Conversations with Contemporary Masters of American Modern Dance_[14] Beatty talks about some of his more well-known choreographic works. According to Beatty _Southern Landscape_, a five-part dance, is a description of the time right after the Reconstruction period in the South. The dance explores an event in history described in Howard Fast's novel _Freedom Road_.[15] The plot centers around a group of black and white farmers who had happily formed a community together before being literally destroyed by the Ku Klux Klan. After the slaughter, people went into the fields at night to retrieve the bodies of their loved ones. The most well-known and famous solo section of the dance, titled _Mourner’s Bench_ is about a man returning from recovering a body, and reflecting on the ideas of hope and strength.

When he took ballet lessons in New York, Beatty had to attend dance classes in the early mornings or late nights in a dressing room while classes were going on in an adjacent studio. One white critique famous in the early to mid-1900s criticized Beatty's style for containing too much ballet at a time when ballet was seen as high art for white people.

answer: Beatty faced the challenge of being an African American dancer studying in a time period where the study of ballet was considered to be reserved for white dancers. He also had to attend dance classes in odd hours when the majority of dancers were practicing, due to his race. As a choreographer, many of his works explored the everyday life and struggles of African Americans.

[Artist's rendering of the proposed skytran design]

SKYTRAN is a Personal Rapid Transit system concept first proposed by inventor Douglas Malewicki in 1990, and under development by Unimodal Inc. A prototype of the skyTran vehicle and a section of track have been constructed. The early magnetic levitation system, Inductrack, now abandoned by skytran, has been tested by General Atomics with a full-scale model.[1] In 2010 UniModal Inc. signed an agreement with NASA to test and develop skyTran.[2] SkyTran has proposed additional projects in France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, the United Kingdom, and the United States.[3][4][5][6]

System details

To minimize maintenance and make switching on and off the tracks efficient at high speeds, early versions of the system proposed using the Inductrack passive magnetic levitation system instead of wheels. Passive maglev requires no external power to levitate vehicles. Rather, the magnetic repulsion is produced by the movement of the vehicle over shorted wire coils in the track.[7] The cars would be driven by a Linear motor in the track or vehicle. Therefore, the system will have very few moving parts; primarily just the vehicle itself moving along the track, its parking wheels and door, and fans in heating and air conditioning units; so its promoters refer to the system as “solid state”.[8]

On this first version, the passive maglev coils are enclosed and supported by a light shell called a guideway that also captures the vehicles mechanically to prevent derailment. Malewicki proposes a 3D grid design that avoids accident-prone intersections by grade separation, with guideways and their exit and entry ramps crossing above or below each other. Tracks will be supported above the ground by standard metal utility poles. They could also be attached to the sides of buildings.

After identifying problems with Inductrack and the cost associated with it, skyTran described an improved design during a Horizon BBC interview with skyTran at NASA Ames in Mountain View, CA.

New details about the levitation and motor were described in a keynote speech in June 2016, showing levitation stator being plain aluminium plates and motor stator an aluminium tube. The guideway is also significantly enlarged and wider than the vehicle, so the switching can be vertical, going through the guideway. Guideway shape is shown at 16:26 in above referenced video. This new concept can be seen in a short simulation film. Instead of the purely passive inductrack system, the new mechanism modify lift by mechanically angling the magnetic pads and need a servo controlled actuation. The lift control also do the switching by moving vertically through the rails.

Patents applications were filed by skytran for this new system: and

History

Malewicki conceived the basic idea of skyTran in 1990, filing a US patent application that year that was granted as US Patent #5108052 in 1992.[9] He published several technical papers on skyTran in the following years. In 1991, he presented a paper entitled “People Pods - Miniature Magnetic Levitation Vehicles for Personal Non-Stop Transportation” to the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) Future Transportation Conference in Portland, Oregon.[10] The paper is a thorough description of the concept at that point, although some important features of the current skyTran design are only discussed as options, including magnetic levitation rather than wheels and hanging below the guideway instead of riding above it.

The paper describes how Malewicki had built and driven a freeway-legal 154-MPG car in 1981, but realized it could never be safe on a street surrounded by far larger and heavier vehicles. Elevated tracks would allow a very light vehicle to be safe. They are also basic to the system's inexpensiveness, because there is no need to acquire a huge right of way and tear down buildings. It presents an aerodynamic analysis (Malewicki is an aerospace engineer) supporting claims of very high energy efficiency (the paper claims for skyTran's current two-passenger tandem design, though the Unimodal site claims only, “over ”).[11][12] It also described how a very light vehicle that can squeeze both surfaces of a track simultaneously could reliably achieve a 6-G deceleration, allowing it to brake safely to a stop from in just .[13]

The 2008 energy shortages stimulated renewed interest in Green vehicle proposals such as skyTran. The “Maglev skyTran” topic quoted a number of skyTran and Personal Rapid Transit ideas, such as passengers exiting and boarding at off-line elevated “portal” stops while high-speed traffic continues to speed by on its main line.[14]

In September 2009, the US NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) signed a Space Act joint development agreement with Unimodal. Unimodal has tested prototype vehicles on short guideway sections at NASA's Ames Research Center, in Mountain View, California. NASA control and vehicle dynamics simulation software was made available to Unimodal, which hired NASA subcontractors to program them using US DOT grant funding.[15]

In June 2014, Unimodal and Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) contracted to build a 400-500 meter elevated loop test track on IAI's campus in central Israel. If the pilot project is successful, IAI will build a commercial skyTran network in the city of Tel Aviv, Herzliya and Netanya.[16][17] In April 2015, the Herzliya city council approved a budget for the skyTran project.[18]

In June 2016 skyTran signed a Memorandum of Understanding in the United Arab Emirates for the study and implementation of a personal rapid transit system in Yas Island.[19]

In 2018, it was announced that Indian conglomerate Reliance Industries had acquired a 12.7% stake in SkyTran. As part of the deal, Reliance would supply communication equipment and a prototype would be built in India.[20]

In April 2019, skyTran signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Eilat to build an elevated rail system serving Ramon Airport.[21]

In June 2019 a Memorandum of Understanding was signed between skyTran and the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) of Dubai in the United Arab Emirates to develop a Sky Pod suspended transit system.[22]

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

What does the text say about levitation?

answer: Magnetic levitation can be achieved passively without external power. The effect of levitation happens when the vehicle is moved across shorted wire coils in the tracks. There is a new concept where the levitation can be modified with a servo-controlled actuation, hence optimized levitation.

answer: The skyTran vehicle and a section of track have been constructed. Early magnetic levitation system, Inductrack, has been tested by General Atomics with a full-scale model. However, the system has been abandoned by skytran. The new design levitates vehicles by plain aluminum plates and an aluminum tube.

answer: In the system, early magnetic levitation system, Inductrack is used, but was abandoned by skytran. Passive maglev makes no use of externally powered levitation, that is arises from a magnetic repulsion produced from it movement over fields of coils. However, a servo controlled actuation help structural damages and wheels of the vehicle.

text: The response inaccurately mentions that the servo controlled actuation helps "structural damages and wheels of the vehicles". It misses to mention that it helps the new mechanism modify lift by mechanically angling the magnetic pads.

refinement: In the system, early magnetic levitation system, Inductrack is used, but was abandoned by skytran. Passive maglev makes no use of externally powered levitation, that is arises from a magnetic repulsion produced from it movement over fields of coils. However, a servo controlled actuation help modify lift by mechanically angling the magnetic pads.

answer: Magnetic levitation can be achieved passively without external power. The effect of levitation happens when the vehicle is moved across shorted wire coils in the tracks.

answer: The Inductrack system was used as the initial levitation system for the skyTran. However, it was abandoned due to problems with the system and the cost. The new design uses aluminum plates and aluminum tubes for levitation stator and motor stator. The guideway is significantly enlarged and wider.

answer: The skyTran vehicle and a section of track have been constructed. Early magnetic levitation system, Inductrack, has been tested by General Atomics with a full-scale model. However, the system has been abandoned by skytran. The new design levitates vehicles by modifying lift by mechanically angling the magnetic pads.

Answer the following question based on the above passage:

What does the text say about energy efficiency?

answer: The skyTran system is described as having very few moving parts, primarily the vehicle itself moving along the track, its parking wheels and door, and fans in heating and air conditioning units. It is described as "solid state" because of this. The system is also said to have very high energy efficiency. The paper claims that skyTran's current two-passenger tandem design is very energy efficient, but the Unimodal site claims that the design is only energy efficient.

answer: Maglev systems are not only more energy-efficient at high speeds compared to standard air cushions and hence unsuitable for high-speed personal or freight vehicles, but also terrain-efficient. Magnetic pressure enables a stable, 20-km/h ride over rugged and uneven terrain. Therefore, levitating vehicles also shuttle between stations to meet passenger needs. It's extremely light, as it contains only moving parts, each one weighing only a few pounds.

text: The response includes extraneous information not useful for the task.

refinement: It's extremely light, as it contains only moving parts.

text: The response misses to mention that in an aerodynamic analysis, claims of very high energy efficiency (the paper claims for skyTran's current two-passenger tandem design).

refinement: It's extremely light, as it contains only moving parts. In an aerodynamic analysis, claims presented are of very high energy efficiency (the paper claims for skyTran's current two-passenger tandem design).

answer: The original creation of skyTran was primarily based on making the system inexpensive, taking into account that elevated tracks cost less to create and maintain than a ground-level one. It was also stated that a lighter vehicle for switching would also help achieve higher acceleration and stopping power, which is the cornerstone of the energy-efficient concept. Elevated tracks are also the most energy-efficient by accounting for vehicle weight. The author asserts that skyTran designers did this analysis to draw a model based on the mechanical, aerodynamic, and automotive focuses of the concept.

answer: Malewicki claims that the skyTran design is very energy efficient. The paper he presented to the Society of Automotive Engineers claims that the current two-passenger tandem design is very energy efficient. He also claims that a very light vehicle that can squeeze both surfaces of a track simultaneously could reliably achieve a 6-G deceleration, allowing it to brake safely to a stop from in just .
