Biography

Ronald Ridout was born in Farnham, Surrey, on 23 July 1916. He was the son of Gilbert Harry Ridout, a schoolmaster, and Ethel Mary _née_ Phillips. He married Betty Elsie Dolley on 10 February 1940, and had three children, Jessica, Simon and Veronica. He worked as a bank clerk at the National Provincial Bank, Alton, Hampshire, from 1933 to 1935 and received his B.A. degree with honours from Oxford University in 1939. From 1939 to 1950 he worked as a teacher at schools in Bolton, Luton, Nuneaton, Portsmouth, Shrewsbury and Woking. He was dissatisfied with the available material for the teaching of English at the time that he started his teaching career, and as a result developed the _English Today_ series of textbooks in the 1940s. He worked at Ginn & Co. Ltd., London, the publishers of _English Today_, from 1946 to 1950, as a publisher's representative. The enormous success of the _English Today_ books led to him leaving the classroom in 1950 to devote his time to writing. From 1950 until his death, he worked exclusively as a writer. Ridout collaborated with Phyllis Flowerdew on a number of primary school readers during the 1960s for the publishers Oliver and Boyd. He died in South Africa on 5 December 1994. So prolific was his output and huge his sales, exceeding seventy million, that he earned a place in _The Guinness Book of World Records_.[3] His daughter Jessica lives in Worcestershire.[4]

Quotations

  “What we must do is to steer between these two extremes and develop a way of speaking that most effectively expresses what we want to say. We want a speech that will do its job well. Everything that does its job well has a beauty of its own. Hence we talk of a beautiful runner, a beautiful dancer, a beautiful engine. They all have functional beauty, the beauty of functioning perfectly, the beauty of being perfectly suited to the job they have to do. So with speech: we want an instrument that is beautiful, not because it puts on decorative airs, but because it does its work beautifully, perfectly.”

From _English Today_, Ronald Ridout, Ginn & Company, 1947, pp 111–112

AMD had promised, with the introduction of the Never Settle Forever program with Radeon Rewards, that new, up-to-the-minute, in demand titles would be added to the choice of games available throughout the life of the program. Today AMD has announced that it has added the blockbuster, best selling title Saints Row IV to the Radeon Gold Reward Tier. This move brings the choice of games available to buyers of AMD Radeon HD 7970 GHz Edition, HD 7970 and HD 7950 graphics cards to three from eleven (rather than three from ten).

[]

Make no mistake; Saints Row IV is an extremely hot game right now so it is a great addition for AMD to help shift its graphics cards. As of yesterday, when the weekly UK games charts were published, the fourth Saints game held its position at number one for the third week running following its release. The top 10 games are as follows; Saints Row 4, Total War: Rome II, Diablo III, Splinter Cell: Blacklist, Disney Infinity, Minecraft Xbox 360, Payday 2, Killzone: Mercenary, Rayman Legends and Farming Simulator. (That’s the first time I’ve heard of Farming Simulator)

Marking the announcement of this bundle deal Menno van der Bil, Commercial Director at Deep Silver said _“The PC version of Saints Row IV is an important component for the global success that the game already has had and the cooperation with AMD has helped to ensure its technical performance.”_

AMD’s director of developer relations, graphics business unit, Ritche Corpus, added that _“PC gamers with AMD Radeon graphics cards can fire up their copy of Saints Row IV knowing that they are receiving the best possible experience. And as the exclusive hardware partner for Saints Row IV, the AMD Gaming Evolved program continues to demonstrate its relentless commitment to ensuring the world’s most exciting games are exclusively optimized for AMD Radeon hardware.”_

_[]_

So Saints Row IV might be a great bonus for top end Radeon graphics card buyers but as yet there are no new announcements for the Radeon Silver Reward Tier or Radeon Bronze Reward Tier with a choice two from nine and one from seven games respectively.

It is worth remembering that you can bank your AMD Radeon Reward points and choose from a different/expanded title range at a later date – if nothing on offer tickles your fancy right now.

'Why??''
This was the thought that engulfed his mind as he sat alone in the red room. Red with blood. His blood. Scared, defeated, broken. He looked down at his wrists, glowing crimson with the very thing that kept him alive. Watching his life, slowly draining from him.

 Where had It all gone wrong? He had no answer, and he knew that he never would. He hated to think a lot about it. Nevertheless, the thought persisted, tormenting him day after day. What happened? Why did it happen? Why couldn't things be different? Why? Why? Why?? There were ways he could cope in the past, but it had finally become too much for him. There was but one option left to him now. The world hated him, and he had succumbed to its never ending tortures. As the life - quite literally - drained from him, he began to think. One last time, he began to think...

 For years, Matthew had felt nothing, convinced that he was terrible, that there was something wrong with him. He'd given up, content to embrace eternal darkness. But just before he could go away forever, The Light came. The Light saved his life, gave him hope. The Light understood him, perhaps even loved him once. For the first time in his life, Matthew was truly happy. The Light made him happy, and he made it happy. They were truly the best times of Matthew's (soon to be short) life. Then, as suddenly as it had appeared, The Light vanished into the darkness, the very same darkness he was already so familiar with. The cold hands of emptiness had grasped him again, pulling him back into depression. Once again, Matthew was nothing. Nothing but an uncaring, insensitive monster. Left with nothing but his thoughts, his questions of ''Why?''.

 Slowly, Matthew's gaze drifted across his room to the twin barrels of high-velocity death that lay before him, propped up against the wall. They beckoned to him, begging to end his suffering forever. With a look of sad acceptance, he grabbed the deathstick and half - walked, half - stumbled outside. As the walls of his life caved in around him, as the fires of emotion raged around him and engulfed him, he stopped still. Looking to the sky one last time, he shoved the barrels, both grinning with anticipation at their long awaited task, to his mouth. In his last moments of being, he closed his eyes, cried, and thought of The Light...

title: Matthew's Plight (The Light)

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

What is Matthew's plight?

answer: It must be despair. He's depressed and wants to die.

answer: Matthew's plight is the feeling of desperation and hopelessness he experiences due to the absence of The Light in his life. The world has become cold and painful for him, and he has lost all reason for living. The only remaining option for him is suicide. Despite this, he does think fondly of The Light and what happiness it brought him.

answer: Matthew has a very dark thought about killing himself.

answer: Matthew suffers from depression.

answer: Matthew's plight is his questioning of why his life has turned out the way it has and his eventual suicide. The Light brought him happiness for a time, but it quickly vanished, leaving him questioning and unhappy once again. He finally decides to end his life, and the barrel of a gun is the instrument of his death.

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

Where did the blood come from?

answer: The blood came from Matthew's wrists. He had self-harmed in some manner.

answer: High-velocity guns

text: In this instance, it's OK to speculate that the answer is a shotgun.

answer: Matthew intends to kill himself with the barrels.

text: "Matthew intends to kill himself with the barrels." - doesn't answer the question "what". In this instance, it's OK to speculate that the answer is a shotgun.

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

What is the Light?

answer: The Light is a source of hope and happiness to Matthew, though it eventually vanished into the same darkness he was already familiar with.

answer: Unclear.

text: "Unclear." - is incorrect and must be revised. The text said: "The Light saved his life, gave him hope. The Light understood him, perhaps even loved him once. For the first time in his life, Matthew was truly happy. The Light made him happy, and he made it happy. They were truly the best times of Matthew's (soon to be short) life."

refinement: The Light saved his life, gave him hope. The Light understood him, perhaps even loved him once. For the first time in his life, Matthew was truly happy. The Light made him happy, and he made it happy. They were truly the best times of Matthew's (soon to be short) life.

answer: The Light is something that came into Matthew's life and gave him the will to live. It seems to be a former romantic partner of his, although this is not explicitly stated.

text: "It seems to be a former romantic partner of his, although this is not explicitly stated." - this information is unnecessary and unsubstantiated. Should be deleted.

refinement: The Light is something that came into Matthew's life and gave him the will to live.

answer: The text does not say, other than that it was Matthew's saviour.

text: "The text does not say" - is incorrect and must be revised. The text said: "The Light saved his life, gave him hope. The Light understood him, perhaps even loved him once.

answer: The Light is the force that saved Matthew's life and gave him hope. It made him feel happy for the first time in his life, but it vanished, and left him feeling empty again. Desperate to end his suffering, he finally decided to commit suicide by shooting himself, thinking of the light as he did. The Light is an important force in Matthew's life and death.

question: Write a ~4 sentence summary.

answer: Matthew feels like the reason things went wrong something to him. He thinks back to a time when things were all right and promises to think of it. Then Matthew goes to go kill himself with a gun and thinks about the twilight's light. Then he closes his eyes and cries.

text: "Matthew feels like the reason things went wrong something to him. He thinks back to a time when things were all right and promises to think of it. Then Matthew goes to go kill himself with a gun and thinks about the twilight's light. Then he closes his eyes and cries." - as a collective summary, this barely makes sense and should be completely revised.

refinement:
Matthew looks down at his bloody wrists and thinks about the reasons why everything in his life had gone wrong.
He thinks back to a time when he lost hope and was saved by The Light, which made him happy.
The Light left as suddenly as it arrived, and Matthew goes into a deep depression again.
He grabs a shotgun and puts the barrels in his mouth, thinking of The Light in his last moments.

answer: Matthew decides to end his life after the entity who made him happy disappeared. He grabs two guns, walks outside, and shoots himself. He thinks of The Light before the end, making peace with his decision and reflecting on how his life went wrong.

text: "who made" - replace with "that made"

refinement: Matthew decides to end his life after the entity that made him happy disappeared. He grabs two guns, walks outside, and shoots himself. He thinks of The Light before the end, making peace with his decision and reflecting on how his life went wrong.

text: "He grabs two guns" - there was only one gun propped up against the wall, presumably a double-barrel shotgun.

refinement: Matthew decides to end his life after the entity that made him happy disappeared. He grabs the gun propped up against the wall, walks outside, and shoots himself. He thinks of The Light before the end, making peace with his decision and reflecting on how his life went wrong.

refinement: Matthew decides to end his life after The Light, an entity that made him happy disappeared. He grabs the gun propped up against the wall, walks outside, and shoots himself. He thinks of The Light before the end, making peace with his decision and reflecting on how his life went wrong.

text: Did not meet the 4-sentence summary requirement. Add one more sentence.

refinement:

He slit his wrists and watches as the blood drains out of him.
He grabs the gun propped up against the wall, walks outside, and shoots himself.
He thinks of The Light before the end, making peace with his decision and reflecting on how his life went wrong.

answer: Matthew had been hurting and hopeless for a long time, and eventually decided the only option left for him was to commit suicide. Before doing so, he thought back to when The Light first appeared and gave him hope. However, The Light vanished without explanation, and he felt back into depression and pressed the guns of death against his mouth. With a final look to the sky, he ended his life.

text: "felt" - change to "fell"

refinement:

However, The Light vanished without explanation, and he fell back into depression and pressed the barrels of death against his mouth.
With a final look to the sky, he ended his life.

answer: Matthew sits in a room drenched in his own blood, having slit his wrists. He can no longer handle the depression and plans to commit suicide by shooting himself. He thinks of The Light, who briefly entered his life and gave him reason to live, maybe even loved him, but then eventually left. He thinks of The Light as he prepares to pull the trigger.

answer: Matthew is sitting in a red room in sadness. It haunts him as he stares at his wrists, which are bleeding from the cuts there, everything seems lost. It begins to slip in through the cracks in his mind, an option he's never considered before. Finding the twin barrels of high-velocity death, he leaves the room. He opens his eyes, crying, his thoughts returning to The Light.

text: "Matthew is sitting in a red room in sadness." - Must mention that the room is red with his blood. It was also never implied that he was sad. He was scared, defeated, and broken.

refinement:

text:
The setting is a medium sized room in what could be a hospice, or maybe a nursing home. The room is sparsely furnished, without anything uunnecessary giving the room an empty feeling. On one side of the room there is a Queen sized bed, the sheets are made perfectly, with what could only be practiced methodicism. On the other side of the room there are some bay windows, the windows are closed and the light curtains are drawn letting in little light, outside it is twilight, giving the room a dark yellow tinge . In one corner there is a dresser, the dresser top has been organized in such a way to draw the observer's attention to one picture in specific. The majority of the light from the window hangs on the top of the dresser, which is filled with picture frames and pictures from what seems like another universe, next to the pictures are letters and medals for honor and bravery.

 Next to the dresser is a rocking chair with an old man sitting in it. His frame is well built, with broad shoulders and a thick neck. The Man's best years behind him, his skin now hangs off of him much like the drapes from the top of the bay window. The Man is slowly rocking back and forth muttering truths the world has long forgotten, but remain true to him. His face looks as though he just swallowed something very bitter, a grimace of sorts.
The door to the rest of the building slowly creaks open and The Lawyer walks in. The Lawyer is a skinny man, with pale, almost transparent skin. His suit is unimpressive, the most interesting accessory is his tortoise rimmed glasses, which frame his empty pale eyes. The Lawyer's face is devoid of any wrinkles, much like that of a baby, and if he wasn't fully grown it wouldn't surprise The Man if he started crying and asking for his mother's breast. When The Lawyer shuts the door quietly behind him the room takes on a cool eerie feeling, much as if it had transformed from a home to a cold, damp graveyard. The light from the window seems to bend towards The Lawyer, and the dresser top dims noticeably as The Lawyer takes a seat near the door.
There is a moment of silence before The Man begins, with a voice that needs convincing:

The Man: It's not so bad, you know.

The Lawyer says nothing, just giving the same unblinking stare as before.

The Man: At first I was worried, scared even. It isn't everyday that I have been so closely acquainted with my mortality. I can count the number of times on one hand, in fact... But this time I don't think they'll give me a metal hahaha!

The Lawyer remains motionless, simply watching the man. The Lawyer is so still to the audience it would seem he isn't even breathing. Clearly unsettled the man argumentatively continues:

The Man: Not much of a talker, are you? Well, that's alright. I don't feel like having a conversation anyway.

There is a silence for a while before The Man shifts uncomfortably in his seat. It is clear that The Man does want a conversation. The Man by turns takes glances at the dresser top and The Lawyer before continuing:

The Man: It really isn't so bad... It's Father's day, if you don't already know. I am a father myself. I have two boys, well, they were boys. It seems silly calling them that now, they could toss me over their shoulders if they chose to. (The Man laughs a little, not robustly like before, but knowingly. Confidently.) Yeah, they've grown up... I won't pretend I was the perfect father, in some ways I was the worst. I look at all these pictures and I noticed something, would you like to know what I noticed?

The Lawyer moves for the first time, slowly dropping his head into a nod. The Lawyer's hair doesn't move, his suit doesn't crinkle, almost as if he were a plastic replica of a real man.

The Man: Alright, I noticed that, in all these pictures everyone is always smiling.  No one ever takes pictures of the times when no one is smiling. But that isn't the truth, is it? (The Man clears his throat awkwardly it is clear that he isn't used to talking about something so personal)
No. No one takes pictures of the bad times, only the good times. Why should that be? It should be easy to remember the good... It seems to me, that the good always fades behind the bad, it's easier to remember the hard stuff. There's some irony in that. And now here I sit, close to the end, and all I feel is regret. All the bad sticks out in my mind and the voices of the mistakes I made call out to me across the years, but then, I look at these pictures, and I remember the good stuff. Like, like this one (The Man enthusiastically points to the picture in the middle of the dresser, the picture is faded, but four figures can be made out. Three men and a Woman)

That's my family, or, it was before my wife died. And then I just couldn't keep them together. I just had too many expectations. I wanted something else for my sons, and all they wanted was to be their own men. I regret that I hadn't let them live their own lives I thought I knew what they wanted, but my desire for them overrode what I should have been doing: let them grow on their own. That's what I am doing now though, right? (The Man's eyes haven't left the picture, a pause) I lived my dream. Now they live theirs. I'm passing the torch. When I realize that, I know the only truth: I lived the dream. It's time for them to do it on their own. I think that, and I can only be happy. This is one of those times that a picture should be taken. So people can remember the happy time.

The Man's face curls into a smile, a genuine smile. The Man kept rocking, but the rocking was less lively. Next to him the heart monitor goes dead. A monotone beep is heard throughout the room, and nurses rush in to see if they can save The Man. They pay no attention to The Lawyer, almost as if he isn't there, going around him like a large rock in a river. The Lawyer gets up and looks more closely at the picture on the dresser. The four people are smiling, everyone is happy, like the best kind dream you could have. The corner of The Lawyer's mouth curled up into a whimsical smirk before he left to a room just down the hall.

question: Write a ~6 sentence summary.

answer:
The narrator, who seems peaceful and now ready to accept his death, tells the Lawyer he's a father and that he images he can transcends to the next life with the happiness he's had here.
He muses about how the good times fade while the bad stays fresh. It's easier to remember the hard times. He's pictured at a picture of him and his family and he smiles thinking how his children are grown and now living their own lives and how his wife is dead. He says he feels ready to go and that the sounds of the heart monitor do not alarm him. The Lawyer shows no emotion as he watches the narrator die.

answer: The Man is dying, and in his final hours reflects on his regrets. He becomes nostalgic as he looks at the old family pictures on the dresser. He recognizes that it is time for his sons to make their own way, and is thankful for the happiness he had. He dies happy, smiling. The Lawyer watches him for a moment before leaving.

The old man talks about his sons, and he's clearly proud, mentioning how he regrets the times when he wasn't the best father. He seems happy in the end to remember the good times and to have passed the torch of living their dreams to his sons. The heart monitor dies out. The nurses rush in, and the lawyer takes a look at the man's picture of his family, a smirk on his face before he leaves toward a room just down the hall.

This is my favorite banana bread recipe ever.  I thought I would put it out there as some of us do like to give food as gifts.

ENJOY!

                                                                     [Unbeatable Banana Bread]

(from: http://jas.familyfun.go.com/recipefinder/display?id=50117)

Ingredients

2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup Unsalted butter (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup sugar
2 eggs, at room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 medium-large very ripe bananas (1 cup mashed)
1/2 cup sour cream

Instructions
Step 1
Heat the oven to 325°. Line a 5- by 9-inch loaf pan, preferably one with a light interior, with enough waxed paper to drape over the long sides. This will make the baked bread a cinch to remove and the pan easy to clean. Set the pan aside.Step 2
Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt into a medium bowl. In a large bowl, cream the butter using an electric mixer. Gradually add the sugar, scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Next, add the vanilla extract and blend briefly. Set both bowls aside.
Step 3
Peel the bananas and place them in a separate bowl. Mash them with a fork or a potato masher and measure out 1 cup. Add the sour cream and stir to blend. Set the bowl aside.

Step 4
Using a wooden spoon, blend a third of the dry mixture into the butter-sugar mixture. Add the rest of the ingredients in this order, stirring well after each addition: half of the banana mixture, half of the remaining dry mixture, the rest of the banana mixture, the rest of the dry mixture. Next, add mix-ins if desired (see below).

Step 5
Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spoon. Bake on the center oven rack until a tester inserted deep into the center of the bread comes out clean, about 70 to 75 minutes.

Step 6
Transfer the bread to a cooling rack and cool it in the pan for about 20 minutes. Using the waxed paper, lift the bread from the pan and place it on the rack. Pull down the sides of the paper and allow the bread to cool thoroughly before slicing. Makes 10 or more servings.

  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --

  _For a light, quick bread, handle the batter gently, mixing it just enough to incorporate wet and dry ingredients. Overmixing strengthens the gluten, the protein in flour that gives yeast bread its chewy texture — which you don’t want in a quick bread. Finishing up with a wooden spoon helps ensure that the batter isn’t overmixed._

The US and the UK have rejected a Russian and Syrian offer of a temporary “pause” on airstrikes in Aleppo as the basis for reopening talks, saying there has to be a credible and durable ceasefire that should initially last as long as 48 hours.

Moscow had announced a temporary halt in the military push ahead of a planned eight-hour humanitarian pause on Thursday, designed to give rebel militants and the injured a chance to leave the city.

The US State Department said the Russian offer was too little, too late, and the UN humanitarian spokesman said that relief workers needed longer than eight hours to help extricate the injured.

Moscow announced on Tuesday that Russian and Syrian warplanes had halted their bombardment of the rebel-held districts of the city. Russia’s defence minister, Sergei Shoigu, said “The early halting of airstrikes is necessary to declare a ‘humanitarian pause’. It will … guarantee a safe exit of civilians through six corridors and prepare for the evacuation of the ill and the wounded from the eastern part of Aleppo.”

Russian president Vladimir Putin’s spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, said the halt in the airstrikes was a goodwill gesture to pave the way for Thursday’s pause. “The Russian military is offering yet another chance, and we hope that our partners will allow us all to take advantage of that,” Peskov said.

The United Nations said Russia has communicated plans for two eight-hour cease-fires in rebel-held parts of Aleppo over “consecutive days” this week, implying there may be a further pause on Friday.

Jens Laerke of UN humanitarian coordinator OCHA said in Geneva the agency needs assurances from all sides that fighting will stop before it can provide humanitarian assistance to the city.

The Syrian crisis is likely to be discussed by Putin, German chancellor Angela Merkel and French president François Hollande when they meet in Berlin on Wednesday, primarily to discuss the Ukrainian stand-off.

Merkel said sanctions against Russia over its actions in Syria should remain an option and cautioned against miracles over the Ukraine crisis.

The Russians appear to be trying to work round both Britain and France by attempting to win the support of Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Qatar for a ceasefire that will put pressure on al-Nusra front fighters to leave Aleppo. Estimates of the number of al-Nusra fighters in the city vary between 400 and 900.

In Moscow, Shoigu explained Russia is “asking the countries wielding influence with the [Syrian] rebels … to persuade their leaders to end fighting and leave the city”.

Russia has improved its relations with Turkey, and neither Turkey or Saudi Arabia say they want al-Nusra to remain in Aleppo. America has also condemned the al-Nusra prescence, saying despite a name change the group remains ideologically affiliated to al-Qaida.

Repeated efforts to separate moderate fighters from al-Nusra have so far come to nothing, partly due to resistance in Aleppo, and the lack of assurances about the length of the ceasefire.

Within the Aleppo there was no sign of support for the Russian proposal. “The factions completely reject any exit – this is surrender,” Zakaria Malahifji, political officer of the Aleppo-based Fastaqim group told Reuters.

Al-Farouk Abu Bakr, an Aleppo commander in the powerful Islamist group Ahrar al-Sham, said the rebels would fight on.

“When we took up arms at the start of the revolution to defend our abandoned people we promised God that we would not lay them down until the downfall of this criminal regime,” he said, referring to President Bashar al-Assad’s government.

“There are no terrorists in Aleppo,” he said, speaking from Aleppo. Rebels in eastern Aleppo have consistently said that insurgent groups linked to al-Qaida or inspired by it have no real presence in the opposition-held part of the city.

The British foreign secretary, Boris Johnson, maintained his tough tone and rejected a Labour call to take up the Russian plan, saying: “The reality is that no such proposal can conceivably be made to work in the absence of a cessation of hostilities by the Russians and the Assad regime. That is the precondition. A durable and convincing ceasefire must be delivered by the Assad regime before any such proposal can conceivably be made to work.”

Johnson also claimed the mood of the British public was certainly changing to supporting a more military response to the “barbaric” Russian actions. But he added: “I do not yet detect a sufficient appetite in the capitals of the west, and certainly not yet in the White House, for the kind of action that I think could be useful, but, as secretary Kerry said, nothing is ‘off the table’.”

But Vitaly Churkin, Russia’s permanent representative to the UN, said “The chances of this plan succeeding are quite reasonable if the so-called ‘moderates’ greatly outnumber al-Nusra fighters.” He added that the ratio can be as high as 10 to 1 or even 12 to 1, if the UK Foreign Office has provided accurate estimates, claiming that there are somewhere between 10,000 and 12,000 ‘moderate’ rebels in Aleppo.

The European Union said on Monday that “deliberate targeting of hospitals, medical personnel, schools and essential infrastructure” by Syria and Russia could amount to war crimes.

The WORTHINGTON MOUNTAINS is a small long north-south trending mountain range in northwestern Lincoln County, Nevada.[1][2] The range is bounded by the Sand Spring Valley to the west and Garden Valley to the east. The Quinn Canyon Range lies to the northwest, the Golden Gate Range lies to the east and the Timpahute Range lies to the south and southeast.[3]

The range has two prominent peaks: Worthington Peak at near the north end and Meeker Peak at near the south end. The surrounding basins have elevations of .[4] There is no surface water and few springs within the range.[5]

The Worthington Mountains are within the Basin and Range National Monument, created by President Barack Obama in 2015.

Geology and mining

[The Worthington Range from the east. Meeker Peak is on the left.] The Freiberg district on the northeast end of the range, located northeast of Worthington Peak, has had a long history of mining. The bedrock in the area is Pogonip Group limestone and dolomites of Ordovician age which strike north south and dip 20° to the west. The sedimentary rocks have been faulted and intruded by numerous felsic intrusives. The old Freiberg mine was worked for gold and silver starting in 1865. Later the New Freiberg mine was worked with underground and open pit methods for silver, lead, zinc and copper from 1919 through 1948.[6]

The Upper Devonian Guilmette Formation outcrops in the southern portion of the range. The Guilmette contains exposures of the Alamo Breccia related to the Alamo Impact which is approximately centered in the Timpahute Range some to the south.[7]

Flora and fauna

The lower elevations of the mountains are characterized by a sagebrush community and other shrubs. The middle elevations are primarily forested by singleleaf pinyon pine (_Pinus monophylla_), Utah Juniper (_Juniperus osteosperma_), and mountain mahogany (_Cercpcarpus ledifolius_). At the higher elevations are bristlecone pine (_Pinus longaeva_) and, in two small areas south of Worthington Peak, ponderosa pine (_Pinus ponderosa_).

Large mammals found within the range are mule deer (_Odocoileus hemionus_), pronghorn (_Antilocapra americana_), desert bighorn sheep (_Ovis canadensis nelsoni_), bobcat (_Lynx rufus baileyi_), and mountain lion (_Felis concolor_).[8]

Wilderness area

[Worthington Mountains Wilderness, Nevada]

Worthington Mountains Wilderness Area was created by the U.S. Congress in 2004 and consists of most of the Worthington Mountains. The wilderness area encompasses of the range and the extensive alluvial fans on the western slopes of the mountains. Worthington Peak is on the northern border of the wilderness. The northernmost part of the range, north of Worthington Peak, includes an old mining area and is outside of the wilderness. The wilderness ranges from to in elevation.[9]

The Bureau of Land Management says that “no other Nevada area expresses the wilderness characteristics of stark beauty, chaotic topography, and remoteness quite as well as the Worthington Wilderness.”[10] The terrain consists of jagged peaks and ridges, narrow canyons, and steep escarpments sloping down to the washes and the desert floor.[11]

The most notable attraction of the wilderness is probably Leviathan Cave just northeast of Meeker Peak. The cave is reached by a difficult informal two-plus miles long trail which climbs the east side of the range. The cave is located at in elevation and entrance requires ropes to descend a 30-foot vertical drop. The cave contains stalactites and stalagmites and is about long. In the 2000-2010 period only about 40 people annually visited the cave.[12][13]

Answer the following question based on the above passage:

What does the article say about the northern part of the Worthington Mountains?

answer: The northern part of the Worthington Mountains is outside of the wilderness. It contains an old mining area.

text: The answer provided is insufficient. It fails to mention the Quinn Canyon Range, which lies northwest of the mountain, the Freiberg district with a long mining history, the Worthington Peak, and the northern part of the Worthington wilderness. The model should consider rewriting its answer with these detail included.

refinement: The northern range of the Worthington mountains consists of the Quinn Canyon Range and the Worthington Peak. It also includes the Freiberg district on the northeast end of the range, located northeast of Worthington Peak, with a long mining history. The Worthington Peak is on the northern border of the Worthington wilderness area. The northernmost part of the range, north of Worthington Peak, includes an old mining area and is outside of the wilderness.

answer: The northern part of the Worthington Mountains is semi-arid, but lower elevations are characterized by a sagebrush community. The Dakota Slate along with the Ordovician Doblado Dolomite can be found in the area. The Nevada Wilderness Association recommends boundary changes to protect the Freiberg Mining District, Barstow Canyon, and Snake Canyon. This area is outside of the wilderness but is a prized destination for both botanists and bird watchers.

answer: The range is on a north-south line, with the Quinn Canyon Range toward the northwest. One of the two prominent peaks, Worthington Peak, is near the north end of the range. Also around the Worthington Peak, toward its northwest, is the Freiberg district. It has a long history of mining. The wilderness area around the Worthington Mountains encompasses most of the range, with its northernmost border being the Worthington Peak.

text: The answer omits the old mining area in the northernmost part of the Worthington Peak outside the wilderness.

It also includes the Freiberg district on the northeast end of the range, located northeast of Worthington Peak, which has a long mining history.


text:
The inspiration behind this project comes from an outdated term, "going green". The word has lost its meaning; perhaps it has gained new meaning as a utopian image that only the most naive or young hippies can adhere to. Going green meant keeping our blue marble the way it was.

Fortunately, the days of flower-headbanded hippies is past, and so are the days of longing for realistic potential for renewable energies. With technology and prices making strides unlike ever before, wind and solar energies are on a level playing field with coal power, and soon natural gas and nuclear. People across the world are starting to turn to renewable energy not because it's flashy, ethical, or cool, but rather because it _makes sense._
_
_ Renewables won't just keep the earth green, they'll help keep the whole earth colorful. I present: the Keep Earth Colorful campaign.

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

What is meant by "going green"?

answer: Going green refers to embracing renewable energies, in order to keep the earth colorful natural.

text: Remove colorful natural

refinement: Going green refers to embracing renewable energies, in order to keep the earth the way it was.

answer: Keeping the planet as is.

answer: In a negative sense, going green is used to refer to environmentalist hippies. In a positive manner, the meaning of "going green" has changed to simply referring to the want to keep the earth clean and green.

answer: Going green means using renewable energy sources to keep Earth colorful rather than relying on old fossil fuel sources.

answer: It used to denote keeping the Earth in a pristine state, environmentally speaking.

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

Why does renewable energy make sense now?

answer: The author believes that renewable energy makes sense now due to improvements in technology, which has made renewable energies competitive with coal power and other traditional forms of energy. The significance is that renewable energy can help keep the earth colorful.

answer: Its cost has reduced enough and continues to do so. It makes economic sense to switch to renewables.

answer: Renewable energy makes sense now because it is a sustainable, cost-effective source of energy that can help keep our blue marble clean and colorful. With technology and prices making strides, renewables are on a level playing field with traditional sources of energy and are proving to be more practical than ever before.

answer: It makes economic sense.

answer: Technology and prices are on a level playing field with coal power, and soon natural gas and nuclear.

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

Why did people want to use renewable energy in the past?

answer: Perhaps not out of concern of the environment, but rather out of concern of looking fashionable and trendy.

text: First sentence is inaccurate

refinement: Because it was fashionable and trendy, rather than viable.

answer: Because it was flashy, ethical, or cool.

answer: People wanted to use renewable energy in the past because they wanted to keep the earth "green".

answer: People want to use renewable energy because it is more sustainable than fossil fuels and it makes sense economically. Many want to do their part in keeping the Earth colorful for the future.

answer: People wanted to use renewable energy in the past because it would help keep the earth blue. People recognized that utilizing solar and wind power would help keep the planet's natural color intact. This motivation stemmed from the realization that natural resources such as oil are finite and quickening the depletion of them would ultimately result in a less colorful planet. Therefore, renewable energy was chosen more out of concern for preserving the earth's identity than for ethical reasons.

answer: Wind and solar energy are two possible replacements for coal power and natural gas. Nuclear is not one of their replacements.

text: Last sentence not relevant

refinement: Wind and solar energy are two possible replacements for coal power.

answer: They are economically viable replacements for coal power.

text: And natural gas and nuclear

refinement: They are economically viable replacements for coal, natural gas, and nuclear.

answer: Wind and solar energies can largely replace coal power and natural gas. Nuclear energy is not very renewable.

text: The last sentence makes no sense

refinement: Wind and solar energies can largely replace coal power.

question: Write a ~2 sentence summary.

answer: The Keep Earth Colorful campaign makes the case for renewable energies, like solar and wind, by highlighting their potential to help keep the planet colorful. The campaign is an artistic endeavor aimed at inspiring people to consider renewable energy through beautiful imagery.

answer: Inspired by the old phrase "going green", the Keep Earth Colorful campaign champions renewable energy. Fortunately, it now makes economic sense to use wind and solar instead of coal, and the renewable prices will match natural gas and nuclear in the future.
