text:
It had been 511 days. 511 days since the sky was sundered by the deepest, purest black you can imagine.

For a time, we panicked. We screamed, we cried, we were sure the time had come for humanity to be cleansed from the face of the Earth.

But after 63 days of nothing... no sound, no light... nothing... after the panic started to quell, after the fear faded, and the curiosity began to flood through... so did they.

The death they brought was beyond devastating, beyond catastrophic, beyond cataclysmic. 1.1 billion estimated people in the first day. After day 2, no one could keep count.

As we became more scarce, harder to find, they became more desperate. It was like they were driven by nothing more than their need to kill.

They did not consume. No, they needed no fuel, no sustenance and no rest. They made it clear from the very beginning, their sole desire, their sole purpose was to kill.

They did not relish the suffering of their victims, they killed quickly and quietly. They killed not because they wanted to, but because they *needed* to. It was a compulsion more gripping than any addiction. More engulfing than any obsession, and more powerful than any bullet, shell or bomb.

After 448 days, there were only a handful of us left. We didn't band together, didn't try to retain any dignity or civilisation. We behaved like what we were; scared beasts hiding from the hunters.

They didn't speak, they defied all description and explanation, but we had to call them something, so we decided 'Hunters' would have to do.

We learned quickly that, no matter how desperate they became, they didn't go underground. They would level 5-storey houses with their hands, so your basement would not keep you safe, but they wouldn't even approach subway tunnel entrances. Of course, after a month, there was no power... anywhere. So the tunnels were black, night and day.

Now with no humans to keep them out, the animals with the sense to hide did just that. And what better hiding place than a deep dark hole?

A deep dark hole swarming rats, dogs, and... if you were *really* unlucky... Charlie.

I know exactly how little I have told you about the Hunters, and the reason is simple. If you've seen one, you are no longer alive. But Charlie...

There is no sequence of words that can adequately express what Charlie was.

He was a paragon of everything that should be feared in a beast. He was tall, he was strong, he was fast-moving and fast-thinking, and most of all, he ate what he killed.

He colonised almost 10 miles of track, and no other living thing would set foot on his land. Those that tried, became a corpse, then meat, then gone.

Charlie dwelled in the tunnels by day, but when the sun went down, that's when he became an artist.

He could feel Hunters a mile away. Not see, or hear, or smell them... but when one was near, he just... knew.

Some tried to fight the Hunters with guns, some even tried with knives... but not Charlie. No, Charlie abhorred tools. Charlie used to say that 'if you can't kill it with your hands, you don't deserve it'.

And he followed this creed to the letter.

He would pull hunters apart with nothing more than his fingers. But what was truly beautiful, is what he did with them afterwards.

Charlie would take them back to the tunnels, skin, butcher, cook and eat them... but not all of them.

Every one, he saved one thing... a finger, a rib, a tooth... and one day, he had a Hunter. Well, more accurately, he had a skeleton held together with nails and duct tape, covered in dripping, festering skin.

But what he did with this harrowing scarecrow he created, is truly the most beautiful thing about Charlie.

One morning, Charlie dragged his new doll up the escalator, into the sunshine, laid it out flat on the ground... and began to scream.

He must have screamed for hours. Screamed so hard, so loud and so long, his lungs bled and his throat tore. But not before his cries were heard.

The hunters showed up moments later, but wouldn't attack.

They'd never seen something of this world kill one of them. They were afraid.

Charlie knew they were afraid, and what he chose to do about it was quite spectacular. He put his right hand into the throat of the Frankenstein's monster beside him, and, without looking, took out the heart of the creature, dropped it on the ground beside him, raised his right leg, and reduced the Hunter's heart to viscera.

For the first time since they landed, they spoke. But they did not say a word. They did not grieve for their fallen comrade, that made no threats, they spoke in a language of shrieks and squawks, and terror is universal.

Never have you seen so many monsters turn tail and flee for their lives so swiftly... and Charlie smiled to himself.

He dragged his sacrificial lamb back to the mouth of his lair, but this time, did not take it inside. In stead, he pulled a steel cable from his pocket, and threw it over the sign above the staircase.

He took one end, wrapped it around the feet of his prize, took the other, and yanked down hard, launching it high into the air.

Then he tied off the loose end to a fire hydrant, and, without a word, slinked back off to his pitch-dark fortress.

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

What does the story say about the alien attack on earth?

answer:
An alien attack has resulted in a literal race for survival. The aliens leave a trail of bodies in their wake, but their primary goal appears to be killing.

Charlie defies the normal behavior the aliens exhibit by turning their hunter's heart into viscera. He does this in order to create fear in the aliens and send them running for their lives.

text: "Charlie defies the normal behavior the aliens exhibit by turning their hunter's heart into viscera. He does this in order to create fear in the aliens and send them running for their lives." - Charlie's involvement is still irrelevant at this point. The response should instead focus on the actual alien attack.

refinement: An alien attack has resulted in a literal race for survival. The aliens leave a trail of bodies in their wake, but their primary goal appears to be killing.

text: There are missing details from the alien attack.

refinement: An alien attack has sundered the sky pitch black and resulted in worldwide panic and a literal race for survival. The aliens leave a trail of bodies in their wake, 1.1 billion people estimated dead on the first day alone. People lost count on the second day. The aliens' primary goal appears to be killing, and after 448 days, only a handful of humans were left hiding underground in subway tunnels.

answer: It had been 511 days since the sky was sundered by the deepest, purest black you can imagine. 1.1 billion estimated people in the first day. They made it clear from the beginning their sole desire and purpose were to kill.

refinement: It had been 511 days since the sky was sundered by the deepest, purest black imaginable. 1.1 billion estimated people in the first day. They made it clear from the beginning their sole desire and purpose were to kill.

text: This part of the response needs to make it clear that the sundering of the sky was because of the aliens.

They hid underground in subway tunnels, the one place that the aliens didn't go.

answer: The sky was sundered by the deepest, purest black you can imagine. For 63 days, nothing happened, no sound, no light, nothing. Then, death started to spread faster. The aliens were efficient killing machines. They were driven only by the desire to kill. They killed, not because they wanted to, but because they needed to. Whenever they ate what they killed, they grew in size and appearance, which in turn gave them more self-confidence and vigor.

They were driven only by the desire to kill. After 448 days, only a handful of humans were left, and they were forced to live underground in abandoned subway tunnels because it was the only place the aliens would not go.

answer: The story begins 511 days since the aliens somehow blocked out the sun and created a sky that was the deepest, purest black imaginable. After 63 days, when the collective panic and fear of humanity died down, the aliens attacked. They managed to kill an estimated 1.1 billion people on the first day. No one could keep count anymore after day two. After 448 days, only a handful of humans were left and they were forced to live underground because it was the one place the aliens would not go.

answer: The aliens's sole purpose is to kill, and because there are now fewer humans for them to kill, they become increasingly desperate. Charlie is a survivor who makes the most of his abilities, taking the fight to the aliens. Scarecrows are used to frighten and drive back the hunters, and allow Charlie to continue living in peace. The aliens understand how deadly effective Charlie is, and by demonstrating this power he makes it possible to protect himself from their attacks.

text: The response is irrelevant and doesn't answer the question. Needs a complete rewrite.

refinement: People panicked when the sky was sundered the deepest black by the tip of an alien attack. After 63 days of no lights or sounds, the panic and fear faded, but the aliens started to flood in, killing more than a billion people on the first day alone. No one could tell the death count on the second day, but the toll was devastating. After 448 days, only a handful of humans were left alive, forced to live underground in the subway tunnels because it was the one place the aliens refused to go.

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

What does the story say about the invading aliens?

answer: The story portrays the invading aliens as relentless killers with a compulsion to kill. Despite their enormous power, they are afraid of one thing - another creature killing one of them. This drives the alien creatures to flee at the faintest hint of resistance.

text: The response is missing crucial details about the aliens, namely arriving after the sky turned black, and their aversion to going underground.

Despite their enormous power, they are afraid of one thing - another creature killing one of them. This drives the alien creatures to flee at the faintest hint of resistance. The aliens were also afraid of going underground and wouldn't even approach the subway tunnels where the last remaining humans were hiding.

answer: They arrive when the sky turns completely black, bringing death along with them. They kill people quickly and quietly, with no concern for their victims' suffering. Their sole desire and need is to kill.

text: "is" - replace with "are"

refinement: They arrive when the sky turns completely black, bringing death along with them. They kill people quickly and quietly, with no concern for their victims' suffering. Their sole desire and need are to kill.

refinement: They arrive when the sky turns completely black, bringing death along with them. They kill people quickly and quietly, with no concern for their victims' suffering. Their sole desire and need are to kill. The aliens seem to have an aversion to going underground. They also turn tail when they become the hunted.

answer: It shows that the aliens were not just here to conquer space and humanity. Their sole desire and religious goal was to conquer the planet and kill humans. They belong to the deadly hunter race, who could feel and kill humans. The aliens were killed in few numbers just like the humans. The only difference is that the aliens took their prizes, which were human body parts.

text: "It shows that the aliens were not just here to conquer space and humanity. Their sole desire and religious goal was to conquer the planet and kill humans." - this is incorrect and should be removed. The aliens weren't conquerors and didn't have a religious goal - they just wanted to kill.

text: "They belong to the deadly hunter race, who could feel and kill humans." - this is inaccurate. The aliens didn't belong to any "hunter race" - the humans coined the "hunter" name to identify them.

refinement: The aliens defied all explanation, but the humans had to call them something and decided to call the aliens "Hunters". The aliens were killed in few numbers just like the humans. The only difference is that the aliens took their prizes, which were human body parts.

text: The response is missing all the key details about the aliens.

refinement: The aliens arrived under the cover of darkness after sundering the sky pitch black. They don't kill for sport or food, they just needed to, like a compulsion. The aliens have an aversion to going underground and are afraid of creatures that fight back. The aliens defied all explanation, but the humans had to call them something and decided to call the aliens "Hunters". The aliens were killed in few numbers just like the humans. The only difference is that the aliens took their prizes, which were human body parts.

text: "The aliens were killed in few numbers just like the humans. The only difference is that the aliens took their prizes, which were human body parts." - Other than Charlie's kills, there was no record of aliens dying. The aliens also didn't take prizes (like human body parts) or even consume the people they killed. That description is obviously about Charlie.

The aliens have an aversion to going underground and are afraid of creatures that fight back. The aliens defied all explanation, but the humans had to call them something and decided to call the aliens "Hunters".

answer: The aliens or 'Hunters' as coined by the human survivors, had some sort of weapon that brought pitch black darkness to the world when they arrived. They did not consume what they killed, nor did they need fuel, sustenance, or rest. Their sole purpose was to kill all life on the planet and managed to wipe out 1.1 billion people on the first day. The Hunters didn't kill for sport or relish the suffering of their victims because they killed quickly and quietly. They were driven to kill, a compulsion more gripping than any addiction, and they grew desperate when humans became scarcer and harder to find. The Hunters seem to have an aversion for going underground (subway tunnels) and didn't follow the remaining humans down no matter how desperate they were.

answer: The invading aliens are unrelenting, instinctively killing machines. They act solely out of their compulsion to kill, not as a means of enjoyment. They hunt and kill by daylight or night, and even though they are afraid of Charlie's ingenuity, they cannot match his craftiness or his ferocity.

refinement: The invading aliens are unrelenting killing machines that came under the cover of darkness after they sundered the sky black. They act solely out of their compulsion to kill, not as a means of enjoyment. The humans called the aliens "hunters" for lack of a better term. The Hunters had an aversion to going underground and wouldn't even go near the subway tunnel entrance where the last remaining humans were holed up. They also had a fear of creatures hunting them, like Charlie. They hunt and kill by daylight or night.

refinement: Charlie is a terrifying, but extremely intelligent human who can feel the presence of "Hunters" even from a mile away. He kills them brutally with his bare hands, then consumes most of the remains in the tunnels by night. Charlie made a harrowing scarecrow made from different body parts of all the aliens he killed, topped off with festering skin. After stomping on the heart of his scarecrow, the aliens turned tail and ran from Charlie.

answer: He is strong, fast-moving and fast-thinking, and he killed to survive. Charlie did not fear Hunters, but he didn't use tools, instead bending over to tear Hunters in two. After losing to them, he built a model of them out of human body parts, which he hacked at until it flowed with blood. One day, the real Hunters approached, but he could make them see the 'model' as though it were real. When the Hunters saw what their model was, they became afraid and fled.

answer: Charlie is the toughest survivor of Hunters, who eat what they kill. Charlie felt he could feel Hunters a mile away. He defied description and explanation. Charlie preys on other survivors. He was a tall, strong, and fast-moving predator. He didn't speak. He didn't abide by the norms of man. Instead, he used brute force and kills with his bare hands.

He used his creation to scare off the aliens, who turned tail and ran when Charlie theatrically pulled a heart out of the scarecrow and stomped on it.

answer: Charlie is someone capable of unparalleled violence against the Hunters. He uses his raw power and mental acuity to protect himself and others from the inevitable kill. Despite his savagery in battle, he has an unexpected urge to memorialize those he fights and kills. He does not revel in the death of his prey, but instead finds satisfaction in the completion of a gruesome task.

answer: Charlie is a tall, strong, agile, and fast-moving human who adapted to living underground in darkness. He doesn't discriminate and kills both animals and humans who trespass in the 10-mile track he colonized. Unlike Hunters, Charlie always eats what he kills and he doesn't use weapons of any kind, choosing to rely on his bare hands. Charlie stays in the tunnels by day, but when the sun goes down, he goes above ground to kill Hunters. He developed the ability to 'feel' Hunters from a mile away and knows when they are near. Charlie created a scarecrow made from different parts of dead Hunters, including festering skin. He used the scarecrow to show that he can kill the Hunters, which terrified them and made them turn tail and flee.

_LAST DAY OF SUMMER_ is a collaborative studio album by British instrumental rock band Sons of Alpha Centauri and American instrumental rock band Treasure Cat. It was released on 7 October 2009 under the imprint of Underdogma Records.[1]

Production

In 2006, Nick Hannon spoke to William Mecum of Karma to Burn, asking if he would be interested in coming to the United Kingdom to record with Sons of Alpha Centauri. Mecum accepted and chose to bring Roy Brewer, the drummer from Treasure Cat, his band at the time.[2] Mecum and Brewer recorded three tracks with members of Sons of Alpha Centauri under the moniker Alpha Cat, with the final album also consisting of four Sons of Alpha Centauri tracks and four Treasure Cat tracks. The collaborative, co-produced split release was deemed to be one of the first of its kind.[3]

The Alpha Cat and Sons of Alpha Centauri tracks were recorded with Jim Riley at Ranscombe Studios in Rochester, Kent, while the Treasure Cat tracks were recorded at Zone 8 Studios in Granville, West Virginia.[4] The recording and release of the album marked the beginning of an ongoing working partnership between Sons of Alpha Centauri and Karma to Burn.[5]

Although the music contain no lyrics, the artwork, composed by Jimbo Valentine,[6] is visibly influenced by conspiracy theories such as the New World Order, the moon landing hoax, the writings of Zecharia Sitchin, Anglo-American relations (including the Special Relationship) and mass surveillance.[7]

Critical reception

Upon its release, _Last Day of Summer_ received generally favourable reviews from music critics, receiving an average score of 3.67 out of 5 on Rate Your Music.[8] _Lords of Metal_ described the album as “varied, strong, steaming, superb production and set into a great jacket.”[9] Of the album's instrumental nature, _The Sleeping Shaman_ said that the “vocals are not missed at all, due to the dynamic feel and structure of the music.”[10]

_Altsounds_ commented that the album strayed away from Sons of Alpha Centauri's usual sound, stating that “whereas they previously lulled us into a false sense of calm before ripping across the musical spectrum like cutting comment at a hostile band practice, here they unleash the beast and just give us the best of everything they've got.”[11] _Disagreement.net_ praised the collaborative Alpha Cat tracks, stating that they “link [the two bands'] genres which after all are not that dissimilar to make _Last Day of Summer_ an incoherent listening experience.”[12] Steve Howe of The Sludgelord, a rock blog, described the album as “a sprawling instrumental stoner rock odyssey packed with blazing riffs from two bands at the top of their game,” adding that he felt it was “one of 2009's best instrumental rock albums.”[13]

_Deaf Sparrow_ gave the album a mixed review, commenting that the Alpha Cat tracks “are scrambled in the sequence, perhaps as an effort to put both bands in the same plane.”[14] _RockFreaks.net_ were pleased with the album but did not find it unique, stating that “if you disregard the undeniable excitement that comes from realizing how this project approaches genius in the way that it has been put together, the songs aren't actually that amazing as standalone tracks.”[15]

The 1966 ANTI-IGBO POGROM was a series of massacres committed against Igbo people and other people of southern Nigerian origin living in northern Nigeria starting in May 1966 and reaching a peak after 29 September 1966.[1] Between 8,000 and 30,000 Igbos and easterners have been estimated to have been killed. A further 1 million Igbos fled the Northern Region into the East. in response to the killings some northerners were massacred in Port Harcourt and other eastern cities.[2] These events led to the secession of the eastern Nigerian region and the declaration of the Republic of Biafra, which ultimately led to the Nigeria-Biafra war.

Background

The events took place in the context of military coups d'etat and in the prelude to the Nigerian Civil War.[3] The immediate precursor to the massacres was the January 1966 Nigerian coup d'etat led mostly by young Igbo officers.[4] Most of the politicians and senior army officers killed by them were northerners because Northerners were the majority in Nigeria's government ,[5] including the Prime Minister Abubakar Tafawa Balewa and Ahmadu Bello the Sardauna of Sokoto. The coup was opposed by other senior army officers. An Igbo officer, Aguiyi-Ironsi stopped the coup in Lagos while another Igbo officer, Emeka Ojukwu stopped the coup in the north. Aguiyi-Ironsi then assumed power, forcing the civilian government to cede authority.[6] He established a military government led by himself as supreme commander .[7] In the months following the coup it was widely noted that four of the five army Majors who executed the coup were Igbo and that the General who took over power was also Igbo. Northerners feared that the Igbo had set out to take control of the country. In a response action Northern officers carried out the July 1966 Nigerian counter-coup in which 240 Southern members of the army were systematically killed, three-quarters of them Igbo,[8] as well as thousands of civilians of southern origin living in the north.[9] In the aftermath Yakubu Gowon, a northerner, assumed command of the military government.[10] In this background increased ethnic rivalries led to further massacres.[11]

The massacres were widely spread in the north and peaked on the 29 May, 29 July and 29 September 1966. By the time the pogrom ended, virtually all Igbos of the North were dead, hiding among sympathetic Northerners or on their way to the Eastern region. The massacres were led by the Nigerian Army and replicated in various Northern Nigerian cities. Although Colonel Gowon was issuing guarantees of safety to Southern Nigerians living in the North, the intention of a large portion of the Nigerian army at the time was genocidal as was the common racist rhetoric among Tiv, Idoma, Hausa and other Northern Nigerian tribes. With the exception of few Northern Nigerians (mainly army officers who were not convinced that Igbo were innately evil),[12] the Southern and Eastern Nigerians were generally regarded at the time in the North of Nigeria as described by Charles Keil:

Northern Nigerians were however also targeted in the Igbo dominated Eastern Nigeria.[13] Thousands of Hausas, Tiv and other Northern Tribes were massacred by Igbo mobs, forcing a mass exodus of Northerners from the Eastern Region.[14]

One factor that led to the hostility toward Southern Nigerians in general and Igbo in particular was the attempt by the Aguiyi Ironsi regime to abolish regionalisation in favor of a unitary system of government which was regarded as a plot to establish Igbo domination in the Federation. On 24 May 1966 Ironsi issued a unitary decree, which led to an explosion of attacks against the Igbo in Northern Nigeria on 29 May 1966. The British press was unanimous in its conviction at the time that these 29 May killings were organized and not spontaneous. The Ironsi regime was also perceived to have been favoring Southern Nigerians in the appointment to key positions in government, thus heightening the inter ethnic rivalries.[15]

The failure of the Ironsi regime to punish the army mutineers responsible for the January 1966 coup further exacerbated the situation.[16] The May 1966 pogrom was carried out by rampaging mobs with the connivance of local government.[17] The unprofessional attitude of some elements of the international press are also known to have added to the existing tension. J.D.F. Jones, the diplomatic correspondent of the Financial Times had on 17 January 1966 already predicted that the Northerners might “already have begun to take revenge for the death of their leader the Sardauna of Sokoto on the large number of Igbo who live in the North”, which at the time they were not doing. This has been criticized as an irresponsible and for a journalist unprofessional, self-fulfilling prophecy which would lead the Northern elite to assume that the Financial Times was in possession of information that they were not aware of, and that the world expected the North to react in this way.[18] Later tactics were engineered by Northern elites to provoke violence such as fabricated news stories submitted to radio Cotonou and relayed by the Hausa service of the BBC detailing exaggerated attacks against Northerners in the East, which led to the furious killings of Eastern Nigerians on 29 September 1966.[19]

According to British newspaper reports at the time, about 30,000 Igbo were killed in September 1966,[20] while more conservative estimates put the casualties at between ten and thirty thousand for that month. This spree of killings carried on into early October and was carried out by civilians sometimes aided by army troops and swept the entire north. It has been described as the most painful and provocative incident leading to the Nigeria-Biafra War.[21]

Aftermath

The pogroms led to the mass movement of Igbo and other Eastern Nigerians back to Eastern Nigeria (it is estimated that more than one million Igbos returned to the eastern region). It also was the precursor to Ojukwu's declaration of Eastern Nigeria's secession from the federation as the Republic of Biafra, and the resulting Nigerian Civil War (1967–1970), which Biafra lost.

title: 1966 anti-Igbo pogrom

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

What resulted from the 1966 Ant-Igbo Pogrom?

answer: The 1966 Ant-Igbo Pogrom resulted in the mass movement of Igbo and other Eastern Nigerians back to Eastern Nigeria and the resulting Nigerian Civil War.

answer: In addition to people fleeing or being killed, regional Igbo domination in the Nigerian Federation was perceived as a plot to establish Igbo domination in the Federation. This led to conflict and fighting between the tribes, and ultimately led to secession of the Eastern Nigerian region and declaration of the Republic of Biafra, which ultimately led to the Nigeria-Biafra war.

answer: Between 8,000 and 30,000 Igbos and easterners were killed in the massacre. One million Igbos fled to the Norther Region. Some Northerners were killed in several eastern cities in response to the massacre. The eastern Nigerian region seceded calling it the Republic of Biafra. This ultimately led the the Nigeria-Biafra war.

text: Omit the massacre details as it is the actual Pogrom and not the result of the Pogrom.

refinement: One million Igbos fled to the Norther Region. Some Northerners were killed in several eastern cities in response to the massacre. The eastern Nigerian region seceded calling it the Republic of Biafra. This ultimately led the the Nigeria-Biafra war.

answer: The Ant-Igbo Pogrom resulted in the mass movement of Igbo and other Eastern Nigerians back to Eastern Nigeria, leading to the declaration of the Republic of Biafra and the Nigerian Civil War.

answer: The Ant-Igbo Pogrom was the precursor to Ojukwu declaring his region's secession and the subsequent Nigeria-Biafra war.

text: Mention the mass migration.

refinement: The Ant-Igbo Pogrom led to the mass movement of more than one million Igbos to the eastern region and it was also the precursor to Ojukwu declaring his region's secession and the subsequent Nigeria-Biafra war.

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

What caused the massacre?

answer: The Igbo soldiers and their coup.

text: Expound on the response using the details provided in the article.

refinement: In January 1996, several Igbo soldiers led a coup which resulted in the death of several northerner politicians and senior army officers. This led to northerners fearing that the Igbo plan to take control of the country. In July of that year, a counter-coup by the northerners began to target the Igbo and civilians of southern origin.

answer: The massacre was caused by attempts by Igbo officers to get power and influence in government.

text: Mention more details such as dates, the groups involved, and what the factions did.

This led to northerners fearing that the Igbo plan to take control of the country. In July of that year, a counter-coup by the northerners began to target the Igbo and civilians of southern origin.

answer: The 1966 ANTI-IGBO POGROM was caused by fear in northern Nigeria towards the Igbo people. This fear was prompted by events such as the January 1966 Nigerian coup and the July 1966 Nigerian counter-coup, in which mainly Igbo officers had been killed. There were also attempts by the military government headed by Aguiyi Ironsi to abolish regionalism, which increased the sense of threat to northerners. The massacres were carried out by rampaging mobs with the connivance of local government in Northern Nigerian cities, resulting in nearly 30,000 Igbo deaths.

answer: There was a coup d'etat in Nigeria in January 1966. The leaders of the coup were almost all Igbo officers. Northerner held the lion's share of government positions so most of the government officials and senior military officials killed were northerners. The civilian government had to concede to the military government that took over. Northerns feared that the Igbo would take control and so they carried out a counter-coup and slayed southern soldiers, most of the Igbo.

text: The last sentence needs adjustment grammatically. Also include the date of the counter-coup.

The immediate precursor to the massacres was the January 1966 coup led mostly by young Igbo officers.

The massacres were widely blamed on increased ethnic rivalries and anger over the abolition of regionalisation in favor of unitary government, which was seen as favoring Igbo people.

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

What unexpected external factor exacerbated the murders?

answer: The unexpected external factor that exacerbated the murders was the January 1966 Nigerian coup d'etat by young Igbo officers. This led to increased distrust and hostility between Northerners and Southerners, with Northerners fearing an Igbo takeover of the Nigerian government. This intensified the massacres against the Igbo in the North in May 1966.

text: The external factors are the Ironsi regime's tendency to favor the Igbo which included their failure to punish the mutineers in the January 1996 coup and the unprofessional work of the international press.

refinement: The failure of the Ironsi regime to punish the army mutineers responsible for the January 1966 coup further exacerbated the situation. On top of this, the unprofessional attitude of the international press increased tensions by making predictions or exaggerating details which led to the escalation of conflict.

answer: Press were meant to be impartial, but inflamed the tensions.

text: The external factor is the Ironsi regime's tendency to favor the Igbo which included their failure to punish the mutineers in the January 1996 coup on top of the bad attitude of the international press.

refinement: The failure of the Ironsi regime to punish the army mutineers responsible for the January 1966 coup further exacerbated the situation. On top of this, the unprofessional attitude of the international press increased tensions by making predictions or exaggerating details which led to the escalation of conflict.

answer: The unprofessional conduct of journalists from the international press added to the existing tension. JDF Jones of the Financial Times predicted in January that the Northerners may already have started taking revenge for their dead leader which, in fact, they hadn't done. This lead the Northern elite to believe that the press had information of which they were unaware so they took action.

text: The ironsi regime is also part of the factors.

refinement: The failure of the Ironsi regime to punish the army mutineers responsible for the January 1966 coup further exacerbated the situation. On top of this, the unprofessional attitude of the international press increased tensions by making predictions or exaggerating details which led to the escalation of conflict.

answer: International press acted unprofessionaly by showing predetermined prejudice against a cast/group of people. This lead to further retaliation among local tribes.

text: The ironsi regime is also part of the factors.

by CYRYL JAKUBOWSKI

All but two Northwest Side legislators supported the bill reforming the state’s pension system, with opponents of Senate Bill 1 saying they thought it was unfair and illegal under the state Constitution to reduce retirees’ benefits.

The measure was approved 30-24 with three legislators voting present in the Illinois Senate and 62-53 with one legislator voting present in the Illinois House of Representatives. Quinn signed the bill on Dec. 5, and it will go in to effect on June 1.

The plan covers the retirement systems of state employees, teachers excluding employees from Chicago, state university employees and the General Assembly.

Workers age 45 and younger will have to work longer to qualify for retirement. For each year an employee is younger than age 46 the retirement age will increase by 4 months. The automatic 3 percent compounded annual increase in retirement income will be replaced by a system based on years of service and tied to inflation.

Current liability will be reduced by about $21.4 billion when the plan takes effect, and long-term liability will be reduced by estimated $160 billion, according to an analysis provided by state Representative Greg Harris (D-13).

Harris said that the bill was passed after years of discussion and many proposals. He said that the underfunded pension system, the increasing outlay of general revenue funds to meet obligations and the ability to pay benefits to current and future retirees were the driving factors behind the bill.

Harris said that provisions in the bill regarding cost-of-living increases, funding guarantees and the funding schedule cannot be separated and would be struck down if any or all are found unconstitutional by the Illinois Supreme Court.

State Representative John D’Amico (D-15) said that he voted for the bill because it will preserve the state’s pensions.

"If we did nothing we would lose them in the long run," D’Amico said. "I’m not a constitution lawyer and I’m not sure what will happen with this if it gets challenged, but I want to preserve pensions.

"This did not happen overnight but through years of mismanagement. Everybody sacrifices, but I’m glad that we preserved the low-income pensions as well. We all understood that this was a tough vote."

State Representative Robert Martwick (D-19) said that he voted against the bill because it removes collective bargaining rights from public employees. Martwick also said that the bill fell short of what was needed to accomplish fair reform.

"In every bill there are challenges, and I wanted to vote yes, but I just could not get myself there because there were several flaws with this bill," Martwick said. He said that employees who have contributed to the pension system for years should have had a seat at the negotiating table.

Martwick said that former governors and legislators who skipped pension payments and borrowed against the system created the pension crisis. He said in a statement that when he ran for office he promised that he would demand that public employees who were without fault would be given the respect that they earned a seat at the negotiating table. "They were not," he said.

Martwick said that details about the bill were not released to the legislators until less than 24 hours before they were scheduled for a vote last week.

"It was sent to me at 2:51 p.m. on Dec. 2, and we are beginning discussion at 8:39 a.m. the following day," Martwick said. "From a philosophical standpoint, there is something wrong when the leaders think that if they debate something enough it won’t pass so lets just ram it through."

"I understand that they have been talking about this forever and some things did not need to be discussed again, but it is still a part of the process," Martwick said. "I am disappointed with the negotiations. I understand that negotiations are tough and it’s hard to reach consensus, but we needed to stick to the process."

"Ultimately I think that this pension reform is taking money away from peoples’ pensions," Martwick said. "We loaded busloads of people to protest (Wisconsin) Governor Scott Walker, and we do this now? I am fundamentally in disagreement with taking away peoples’ pensions."

Martwick also said that the legislation could harm the state’s university system because it will be difficult for the universities to attract and retain top professors and researchers.

The other Northwest Side legislator who voted no was state Senator William Delgado (D-2).

State Senator John Mulroe (D-10) said that his office received a lot of angry feedback from constituents after he voted in favor of the bill.

"It has been pretty tense," Mulroe said. "I’m not a very popular guy at the moment, and it’s not so much the angry sentiment from the teachers but from retirees who will get hurt.

"It was a difficult vote. The pension system was heading in the wrong direction and we could not do nothing."

Mulroe said that he is unsure what will happen when the bill is challenged in the courts. "I don’t think that deep down I would have voted for it if I truly thought it was unconstitutional," he said. "It’s just this grimy process we call democracy that we have to grind through to get to the right solution."

"Its very uncomfortable to talk about this bill because we are taking away funding from people when they were promised something," Mulroe said. "We over-promised as a state, and it’s breaking people’s hearts."

State Senator Heater Steans (D-7) said in a statement that arriving at a yes vote was not easy.

"Action on the pension crisis is necessary now to assure the long-tem health of state pension systems and to alleviate the extreme budgetary pressures that has prevented schools and human services from being adequately funded, endangered the affordability of a college education and necessitated reductions in the state work force, despite the temporary tax increase I supported," Steans said.

"Illinois is moving forward," Quinn said in a statement. "This is a serious solution to address the most dire fiscal challenge of our time . . . Working together, we will continue to build a brighter future for the people of Illinois."

The bills were sponsored by state Senator Kwame Raoul (D-13) and House Speaker Michael Madigan (D-22).

"I was convinced that standing fast for substantial savings, clear intent and an end to unaffordable annual raises would result in a sound plan that will meet all constitutional challenges," Madigan said.

"I applaud the governor for prioritizing this issue," Senate President John Cullerton (D-6) said. "I look forward to working with him and all legislative leaders to ensure that we continue on this path of fiscal leadership and bipartisan cooperation."

Under the law, the state will adopt a funding schedule that requires level payments and achieves 100 percent funding no later than the end of fiscal year 2044. The law includes a funding guarantee that gives the retirement systems the right to go to court if the state fails to make the required payment to its pension fund.

There will be no reductions in pension checks going out to current retirees, and the law is designed to minimize the effect on lower-earning and longer-serving employees.

Current employees will see cost-of-living adjustment pauses every other year after retirement, with the number of pauses determined by their current age. The law also reduces the amount of money current employees pay into their pensions by 1 percent, and there will be increases in retirement age based on the age of the employee, with a maximum increase of 5 years.

refinement: The intent of the law is to reduce the state's pension liability.

text: Elaborate that the main benefactor is the government of Illinois

refinement: The intent of the law is to reduce the state's pension liability. The main benefactor is the government of Illinois, which is apparently in a pension crisis.

answer: The new Illinois State pension overhaul bill ultimately benefits state employees and retirees.

answer: The bill will benefit Illinois State Government by reducing liability.

answer: Based on this information, the new Illinois State pension bill is designed to benefit members of the Illinois House of Representatives and State Senators by making them vote in favor of pension reform despite the fact that they, too, were benefiting from outstanding pensions.

refinement: It ultimately benefits the government of Illinois, which is apparently in a pension crisis.

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

What is the main disadvantage of the new pensions bill?

answer: The main disadvantage of the new pensions bill is that it reduces retirement benefits for current and future retirees. This change favors those who are younger than age 46, who will need to work longer to qualify for retirement. The law also decreases contributions by current employees. Lower-earning employees and long-serving employees will be disproportionately affected.

text: I wouldn't say working longer before retirement is a "favor"

refinement: The main disadvantage of the new pensions bill is that it reduces retirement benefits for current and future retirees. This change means those who are younger than age 46, who will need to work longer to qualify for retirement. The law also decreases contributions by current employees. Lower-earning employees and long-serving employees will be disproportionately affected.

text: The last two sentences are false

refinement: The main disadvantage of the new pensions bill is that it reduces retirement benefits for current and future retirees. This change means those who are younger than age 46, who will need to work longer to qualify for retirement.

answer: The new pensions bill stops cost-of-living adjustment pauses and reduces the amount of money to current employees.

text: Completely inaccurate response

refinement: Workers age 45 and younger will have to work longer to qualify for retirement, and the automatic 3 percent compounded annual increase in retirement income will be replaced by a system based on years of service and tied to inflation.

answer: The main disadvantage of the new pensions bill is that it cuts benefits for retirees, reduces the amount of money current employees pay into their pensions, and increases the retirement age.

answer: The bill postpones pension payments to workers and alters cost-of-living increases.

answer: It increases the retirement age.

text: It also reduces the amount future retirees will receive

refinement: It increases the retirement age. It also replaces the automatic 3 percent compounded annual increase in retirement income with a system based on years of service and tied to inflation.

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

How did the legislators manage to get the required votes despite the bill facing loads of opposition?

answer: The bill was given less than 24 hours' notice before the legislators needed to vote. It is also possible that a calculation was made as to how much money they could withdraw from a few people's pensions to get people to vote in favor of the bill.

text: The second sentence is speculation

refinement: The bill was given less than 24 hours' notice before the legislators needed to vote.

answer: Illinois is facing a pension crisis and the initial bill was announced five years before. The big chunk between 2013, when the increment and 4% annual raises for retired employees began, and 2017 when Illinois recognised and does something about the pension crisis, is the gap between the plan being devised in 2013 and the higher figures being drafted in 2017, one year before the bill’s public registration received an increment with legal sustainability of waiver and pause in cost-of-living adjustments. 2017 may also signify the year when Illinois realised they are in a deep financial crisis and pension will not be affected until 2020. Moving forward, 2020 also sees that Illinois is actively addressing and correcting the issue before it is too late.

text: Completely irrelevant response

text: Provide a response

refinement: Details about the bill were not made available to legislators until less than 24 hours before the vote was scheduled.

answer: They did not allow for any members of the public affected by the bill to have a say in the proceedings. They also rushed the bill through, giving as little time as possible for debate.

answer: The legislators got the required votes by addressing concerns of various constituencies, including current employees and retirees. They made concessions to address the concerns of both groups and deal with the state's financial crisis.

answer: Even though there was tremendous backlash, it appears that the bill managed to get enough votes because lawmakers realized that the pension system had gone terribly off track and that something needed to be done about it. Since action was needed, legislators caved and voted in favor of it even though there were several flaws in the legislation.

_FEEL THE FIRE_ is the debut studio album by thrash metal band Overkill, released on October 15, 1985[1] through Megaforce Records.

Overview

The final track, “Sonic Reducer”, is a cover of a 1977 song by punk rock band Dead Boys; it was not included on the vinyl[2] or cassette[3] versions of the album, and on some CD reissues it was instead placed between “Second Son” and “Hammerhead”.[4] “Rotten to the Core” has been a mainstay of the band's live setlist since 1984.[5]

Reception

_Feel the Fire_ received a positive review from AllMusic's Alex Henderson, who awarded the album three stars out of five, saying that it “made quite a splash within the heavy metal community and listenership”, and “possessed all the blistering riffs and complete abandonment fans would learn to expect from Overkill.” Henderson then finished his review, saying that _Feel the Fire_ “solidified a loyal fan base that would grow steadily as the band expanded their sound and catalog through the mid- and late '80s. The classic original band lineup of Bobby “Blitz” Ellsworth on vocals, Bobby Gustafson on guitars, Rat Skates on drums, and bassist D.D. Verni sounds surprisingly accomplished on this major-label debut, giving tight performances and ultimately helping (along with fellow second-wave thrash bands like Flotsam and Jetsam and a myriad of Bay-Area metal outfits) define a generation of spastic, but impressive second wave of aggressive thrash metal.”[6]

_Feel the Fire_ did not initially reach the _Billboard_ 200 charts or become a commercial success. Based on the moderate success of _Feel the Fire_, Overkill signed a recording contract with Atlantic Records in 1986, although they would still remain on Megaforce until _Horrorscope_ (1991).

Touring and promotion

Overkill spent most of 1985 and 1986 on tour for _Feel the Fire_, supporting such bands as Carnivore, S.O.D., Blessed Death, Nuclear Assault, Liege Lord, Black Flag, Venom, Anthrax and D.R.I.[7] In 1986, Overkill was part of two major tours; they supported Anthrax and Agent Steel on the _Spreading the Disease_ tour in Europe, and opened for Slayer on the _Reign in Blood_ tour in the United States.[8]

The CHANGATTU BHAGAVATHY TEMPLE is a Hindu religious shrine at Kallambalam in Kerala, India. The Goddess Kannaki (Parvathi) is the main deity in this temple.

Bharani(ഭരണി) day in the month Kumbham(കുംഭം) (February–March), is considered a special day and is celebrated in a grand manner at the temple.

History

Kovalan was the son of a wealthy merchant of Vaishya community in Puhar who married Kannagi. Kovalan met a dancer Madhavi and had an affair with her, which prompted him to spend all his wealth on the dancer. At last, penniless, Kovalan realised his mistake and returned to his wife Kannagi. Kovalan hoped to recoup his fortunes by trade in Madurai, by selling the precious anklet of Kannagi.

Madurai was ruled by Pandya king Nedunj Cheliyan I. When Kovalan tried to sell the anklet, it was mistaken for a stolen anklet of the queen. Kovalan was accused of having stolen the anklet and was immediately beheaded by the king without trial. When Kannagi was informed of this, she became furious, and set out to prove her husband's innocence to the king.

Kannagi came to the king's court, broke open the anklet seized from Kovalan and showed that it contained rubies, as opposed to the queen's anklets which contained pearls. Realizing the fault, the king committed suicide in shame, after having delivered such a huge miscarriage of justice. Kannagi uttered a curse that the entire city of Madurai be burnt. The capital city of Pandyas was set ablaze resulting in huge losses. However, at the request of God Shiva, she calmed down and later, attained salvation at Changattu desam.
