There lives a tale of a mysterious forest that has yet to be fully explored or even discovered. It is only echoed in rumors spread by newer journalists trying to get a start at their career or some conspiracy theorists just trying to spread what they think is true around the internet. The only thing about it is that each and every report is different. One says that the forest has a demon inside it. Others say that it's just a normal old forest. And yet more say that the beasts inside are well fed by a resident witch that they devour all that walk in. All theories farfetched, all theories more than likely false or just rips from other horror movies that have scarred the writer's childhood. There are a few constants in the stories though. One of them being that nobody knows the precise location of the forest, and that is likely due to the other notable constant: nobody who has walked in the forest has walked back out.

Unfortunate for a little group of Boy Scouts that planned their adventures to a nearby forest that had always intrigued the small, but growing troop. They never stood a chance or even could know about the doom that they had just put themselves to...

The little campout adventure just simply contained seven bodies. Five boys and two adult leaders. They decided to take a weeend backpacking trip into the forest and camp out at a clearing that satellite images on Google had shown. They'd spend the entire Saturday there, then return on Sunday. The group of boys consisted of the Patrol leader, Nick Tepp. He was the crazy guy that had the idea in the first place. He was pretty fit and an all around good organizer. He's the son of the lead Scoutmaster, Michael Tepp. Mike was all about reading into survival books and literature, and had his favorite shows about that subject. The only problem is that that's all he ever did. He never had tried surviving out in the wild before.

The second of five kids was the assistant Patrol Leader, Greg Schaeffer. He was a scrawny kid and wore giant glasses and was significantly younger than the rest of the boys. He had a quick sense of humor and was very intelligent, however, which is what he had rode on to get his position. The third was the Quartermaster and Chef, Owen White. He was a plump boy who was on his last year of being a scout and had set his sights on a top college in the state. He had stopped caring about scouts a long while ago, but the new campout had piqued his interest and he decided to tag along for the ride and see how it went.

The fourth and fifth were brothers. The older one was Jack Klepton. He had been known to be a class clown and generally a ne'er-do-well. He had always slacked off in school, but promises of adventure always brought a sparkle in his eye and a determined smile like he could take on the world. The younger one, Keith, was the opposite end. He was studious and anti-social. He hated scouts and hated nature. The only reason why he had come was because his father, another one of the scout masters, had forced him on the trip, believing to give his sons a litt bit of fresh air. Kevin Klepton was a lot more fit than Mike, but shared his older son's stubborn state of mind and was much more daring, despite the white hairs starting to cover his head.... Or at least what little bit of his head that can grow hair.

They had left to go into the forest with High hopes and full stomachs, laughing and taking a quick pace for the trail, yet had no idea what was to become of them and that none would return to see thier families and friends.

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

Why is it believed there is a demon inside one of the forests?

answer: People theorize about the presence of a demon because no one knows the exact location of the forest and because no one who has walked into the forest has come out.

text: People not knowing the exact location of the forest is not related to the presence of the demon.

refinement: People theorize about the presence of a demon because no one who has walked into the forest has come out.

answer: It is said,

text: Does not answer the question.

text: Empty answer.

refinement: Because the people who enter the forest never return.

answer: The reason for the belief of a demon inside one of the forests is likely due to the lack of survivors who have managed to return from the forest. This creates the suspicion that there is something within the forest causing the fatalities and destruction.

answer: Many people believe there is a demon inside the forest due to the lack of people coming out of it. There are a lot of theories as to why this happens, but many believe it's because some kind of demon lurks inside, keeping anything that enters inside.

text: The second sentence is unnecessary.

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

Describe the theories about the forest.

answer: The theories about the forest are all different - one says that it has a demon inside it, another says it is a normal old forest, still another says that the beasts inside eat all those who walk in the forest, and finally, one says that the beasts have been fed by a resident witch who consumes all those who wander in the forest.

text: The theories about the beasts and the witch are not seperate theories--the last two sentences should be combined to more accurately reflect the original text.

refinement: The theories about the forest are all different - one says that it has a demon inside it, another says it is a normal old forest, and finally, one says that there are beasts in the forest that the resident witch keeps well fed by feeding them those who wander in.

answer: Some say there is a demon in the forest and some believe that the beasts of the forest are well fed by a resident witch. Some also claim that it is a normal forest.

answer: The varied rumors are consistent in agreeing about the concept of a demon inside, however, they contradict each other about the location and nature of that demon.

text: This is untrue; only one of the theories speculates about a demon.

refinement: The varied rumors include the concept of a demon inside.

text: Does not mention the other rumours.

refinement: The varied rumors include the concept of a demon inside, the presence of a witch who feeds those who wander into the forest to beasts, and the theory that the forest is simply a normal forest.

answer: There are many theories about the forest, most likely due to the mystery surrounding it. Some people think that it has a demon inside or is home to a resident witch that feeds off the people that enter into the forest. Others say that it is simply a normal old forest. Still others believe that the beasts inside the forest are well fed off of those who walk in. The only constant for these theories is that nobody knows the precise location of the forest and that people who enter the forest have not returned.

text: This answer separates the beasts theory and the witch theory into two separate theories, when really they ought to be combined.

refinement: There are many theories about the forest, most likely due to the mystery surrounding it.

answer: The theories about the mysterious forest range from it being a site of demonic possession to being a place where a witch feeds beasts on unsuspecting campers. No theory is conclusive or agreed upon by a majority of people, and likely most are unfounded.

text: While it is theorized that a demon might live in the forest, there is no evidence to support a theory of demonic possession.

split: train

text: I know this is crazy but after my last post I feel a lot more relieved. Like I just found the missing piece of myself. Crazy right? Its only been a few days. I just keep imaging myself happier and better off without him. I get this mental picture in my head of me in love and vulnerable with another person and him with some girl that he doesn't love. I feel as if I will grow and find peace and he will be stuck in misery. I know its not right but it makes me happy to see things this way. I know its soon but I met some guy over the weekend and I felt some type of connection with him. One that I felt was special. I've been trying to feel a connection with someone else for a while but I guess it didn't work because I was trying so hard. This connection felt as natural and easy as breathing. It was kind of scary. I'm not saying that this guy is the one hell he might not even want a relationship with me or anyone for that matter. But what I am saying is that this gave me hope. I thought that everything that happens always came back to that person who changed me for the rest of my life. I am starting to realize that it isn't the case.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

EDGAR PRECA is the husband of the 9th President of the Republic of Malta, Marie-Louise Coleiro Preca, and hence First Gentleman of Malta, making him the first person to hold the male title.

Early life and career

Preca worked at Air Malta for 34 years until he retired from work in 2012 to help his wife in her campaign for president.[1][2]

Personal life

Preca met Marie-Louise in 2002 after they were introduced by a mutual friend at the General Workers' Union cafeteria in Valletta. Despite receiving her phone number, Preca later said he was too shy to call her and they would not speak again until four years later, 2006, when they bumped into each other at the same cafeteria. They began dating and married 18 months later.[3]

As First Gentleman

Preca became First Gentleman in April 2014 when his wife assumed the office of president. Even though Marie Louise is the second woman to serve as president of Malta, Preca is the first male spouse of a Maltese president and thus the first to hold the title First Gentleman. Agatha Barbara, who was Malta's first female president from 1982 until 1987, was never married.

Upon becoming First Gentleman, Preca also became the chairman of the Malta Community Chest Fund, which is a charitable non-governmental institution aimed to help philanthropic institutions and individuals. He also visited other countries on behalf of the Maltese government, including a three-day visit to Algeria in January 2016.[4]

The CHURCH OF SÃO JOSÉ () is a 17th-century church located in the civil parish of Fajã Grande in the municipality of Lajes das Flores, in the Portuguese island of Flores, in the archipelago of the Azores.

History

In July 1676, the ecclesiastical parish of Nossa Senhora do Remédios de Fajãzinha was instituted, that included several localities: Fajã Grande, Ponta, Caldeira and Mosteiro, by proviso of the Bishop of Angra, friar D. Lourenço de Castro.[1]

In 1755, a chapel dedicated to São Jorge was constructed, that would eventually be the site of the actual church.[2] The chapel was consecrated on 24 May 1757 and its burial occurred in January 1758.[3]

In 1847, the chapel was expanded and concluded in 1849, with its consecration occurring on 1 August 1850.[4]

On 28 November 1855, the _Junta Geral do Distrito da Horta_ (_District General Junta for Horta_) complained to the government about the creation of the autonomous parish of Fajã Grande.[5] A report by the Civil Governor Luís Teixeira de Sampaio (dated 3 April 1857), affirmed that the chapel of São Jorge was large enough to be constituted as its own parish; owing to its size and distance (a _league_) from Fajãzinha and separated by a _running ravine, that in the winter cuts off completely the communication [between settlements]..._, that it would be _a great service to those people_ that a separate faith community be established.[6] Legend suggests that, on those days when the Ribeira Grande ravine overflowed its banks, impeding passage to Fajãzinha, the local parishioners congregated at what became known as the _Pedra da Missa_ (_Mass Stone_).[7] Located on the right bank of the ravine, the parishioners would face the church of Fajãzinha, which they could see, praying during the liturgical mass, and dispersing when the locals ended their service. On 2 December, the General Junta (once again) protested to the central government that the settlement should not be de-annexed.[8] But, on 4 April 1861, King D. Pedro V authorized the creation of the new parish, to be constituted by the localities of Ponta, Fajã Grande and Cuada, with its seat in the church of _São José da Fajã Grande_.[9] On 20 June, a charter was issued by Bishop of Angra, friar Estêvão de Jesus Maria elevated the parish, separate it from the established _Nossa Senhora do Remédios de Fajãzinha_.[10]

In 1880 there were public works associated with the interventions by a Fajãgrandense emigre, José Luís da Silveira, who had moved to the United States.[11]

Architecture

The triumphal arch is flanked by two collateral retables.

The mobile payments service is supported by every major bank from day one.

[Apple Pay launches in China, its largest market yet]
Apple Pay, after hitting the US in 2014 and the UK in 2015, has today launched in its largest market yet: China.

While bank support for Apple Pay in the UK came in fits and starts (Barclays _still_ doesn't support it), it appears that every major bank in China will support Apple Pay from day one. The key to this rapid roll out seems to be Apple's partnership with China UnionPay, the country's only domestic bank card organisation. Much in the same way that most credit cards in the west are backed by Visa, MasterCard, or American Express, _every_ bank card in China is backed by UnionPay.

The bigger question, though, is whether Chinese consumers will actually embrace Apple Pay or not. Unlike in the US and UK where Apple Pay was the first major attempt at mobile payments, China already has two mature services in the form of Alipay (by Alibaba) and WeChat Payment (WeChat is a messaging platform used by hundreds of millions of people in China). While Apple Pay requires the merchant to have a newer NFC-enabled UnionPay QuickPass payment terminal, Alipay and others use QR codes, which are supported by older, lower-tech sales terminals.

Still, if Apple Pay does take off in China, there's a _huge_ addressable market. China is by far the largest smartphone market in the world, with about 650 million smartphone users—much more than the US and EU combined.

Meanwhile, the rest of the world still waits with bated breath for Android-based mobile payments solutions to properly arrive. Android Pay is still only available in the US, and Samsung Pay is available in the US and South Korea. Neither service has announced a launch date for China or Europe.

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

Where is Apple Pay launching?

answer: Apple Pay has launched in China.

answer: Apple Pay is launching in China.

answer: China.

answer: In China.

answer: Apple Pay is launching in China.

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

What makes the Chinese market significant?

answer: All Chinese phones are NFC-enabled.

text: This is incorrect. It's significant because  it is " the largest smartphone market in the world, with about 650 million smartphone users."

refinement: China is the largest smartphone market in the world, with about 650 million smartphone users.

answer: The Chinese market is significant because it is the largest smartphone market in the world. The potential addressable market for mobile payments is enormous in China.

answer: The Chinese market is the world's largest smartphone market, employing 650 million users alone.

answer: The Chinese market is significant because it is the largest smartphone market in the world. This means that there is a large potential audience for mobile payments. Additionally, Apple Pay has a first-mover advantage with partnering with China UnionPay, and is supported by all major banks in China from day one. Therefore, the market in China is significant because of the size of the audience and the bank support.

text: The bank support isn't really what makes the Chinese market more significant. It's what makes Apple Pay's market significant in China.

refinement: The Chinese market is significant because it is the largest smartphone market in the world. This means that there is a large potential audience for mobile payments.

answer: It is Apple Pay's largest market yet.

text: This should explain why it's the largest market. "China is by far the largest smartphone market in the world, with about 650 million smartphone users."

refinement: It is Apple Pay's largest market yet due to China being the largest smartphone market in the world.

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

Will every bank support Apple Pay in China from day one?

answer: Yes, every major bank in China supports Apple Pay from day one.

question: Write a ~2 sentence summary.

answer: Apple Pay is a mobile payment system launched in China, its largest market. Apple Pay uses NFC-enabled UnionPay Quick-Pass payment terminals which mid-tech sales terminals.

text: "Apple Pay is a mobile payment system launched in China," this sounds like Apple Pay originated in China when this is not the case. This sentence needs to be reworded to reflect that it is newly launched in China.

refinement: Apple Pay, a mobile payment system, had finally launched in China, its largest market. Apple Pay uses NFC-enabled UnionPay Quick-Pass payment terminals which mid-tech sales terminals.

text: This should be in past tense and include "at the time of this article" for further accuracy.

refinement: At the time of this document, Apple Pay, a mobile payment system, had finally launched in China, its largest market. Apple Pay uses NFC-enabled UnionPay Quick-Pass payment terminals which mid-tech sales terminals.

text: The second sentence doesn't make sense. Rewrite it to say that Apple Pay is supported by UnionPay, which is the country's only domestic bank card organization.

refinement: At the time of this document, Apple Pay, a mobile payment system, had finally launched in China, its largest market.  Apple Pay is supported by UnionPay, which is the country's only domestic bank card organization.

answer: Apple Pay has launched in China, its largest market yet. Every major bank in the country supports the service from the get-go, thanks to a partnership with China UnionPay. While other mobile payment services are available in China, it remains to be seen whether or not consumers there will embrace Apple Pay. If it does take hold, the market potential is huge.

answer: Apple Pay for payments on Chinese retailer websites is supported by the China UnionPay system. Apple Pay requires a Quickpass terminal.

refinement: At the time of this article, Apple Pay had launched in China, its largest market yet. Every major bank in the country supported the service from the get-go, thanks to a partnership with China UnionPay.

answer: Apple Pay has finally launched in China, its largest market yet. Every major bank in China supports the service, making for rapid roll out. Consumer adoption in China is the larger hurdle, as there are already established mobile payments services. If Apple Pay does take off in China, however, there is a huge market opportunity. Meanwhile, Android-based mobile payments solutions are still largely absent in China and Europe.

text: This only calls for two sentences, so the last three sentences are unnecessary.

refinement: Apple Pay has finally launched in China, its largest market yet. Every major bank in China supports the service, making for rapid roll out.

text: This should be written in past tense and include "at the time of this article" for more accuracy.

refinement: At the time of this article, Apple Pay had finally launched in China, its largest market at yet. Every major bank in China supported the service, making for rapid roll out.
