I sat with my little brother in the back seat, his head carefully propped on my shoulder. I pushed his golden hair from his eyes. They were closed but when i touched him he peeked through his eye lids to reveal glacier ice blue eyes. They looked like father's while i had mother's grey eyes. I smiled warmly at him. He snuggled up against me comfortably. I glanced up at our mother in the driver seat. My gaze softening, i had sympathy for the ragged woman falling apart behind her steering wheel. I was only seven but i understood that was happening. My brother almost two years my junior couldn't see the pain she possessed.

I creased my eyebrows in suspicion as i watched the yellow line cross the windshield. Bright lights blared in our faces. A loud horn froze my blood. "Mom!"I screamed reaching forward for her. She was startled and swerved wildly in an attempt to get us back in the right lane. The car stuck our back bumper at just the angle to spin our car uncontrollably. The momentum slid me across the seat to slam into the door. It hadn't been closed all the way. I screamed as, like a rag doll, i was tossed out into the snow. I was lucky the snow was so deep it cushioned the blow so that hitting the ground didn't kill me. I lay there for a long time listening to the ringing in my ears, my vision fading in and out. Once it stopped i struggled to my feet. Swaying i stumbled back to the road. The other car had slammed into a tree, the occupant no where to be seen. But my mom's car was absent. I looked around and saw tire tracks in the snow. I ran, following them best i could in the dark. My weight made me stumble as my legs sunk into the soft snow up to my knees.

The car came into view. It had struck a tree. The left blinker was on and the bright headlights stared out into the forest. I fell in the snow in my struggle to get to the door. Looking at the hood a crumpled figure lay there to big to be my brother. Tears stung my eyes as i watched the headlight slowly become crimson and shadows pooled around the figure. The horrible smell of cooper and feces lodged in my nose. It was so pungent i gaged as my stomach spasmed into a tight knot.

 I opened the back door trying not to vomit or break down. Tears streaked my face. But the sight inside tore out my heart."No!"i screamed into the night. I clambered into the car and reached over my brother's awkward form. I clicked the belt open and pulled him into my arms. He was limp and rapidly beginning to cool. I screamed again, this made my heart constrict and tears flowed freely. "Rend! Rend!"i wailed piteously my voice cracking with every attempt. I clung to him and his name. Repeating it with every sob till i felt him twitch. Gasping i touched his face, wiping his hair and my tears off it. His eyes opened slowly to close again. His golden eyelashes made half moons on his pale skin. "Hold on Rend i'll get help!"i reassured holding his close.
"No."he rasped in a sticky wet voice,"Stay here, stay... With ... Me." His voice became softer and softer.
"Rend please dont go, i'll stay i'll stay.Just dont die." I begged wiping my eyes.
"Im cold." He whispered.
He didn't say anything after that. I put my fingers to his jugular, a faint pulse began to fade against my fingers. Against my word i left him to look for help.

I screamed and cried falling into the snow. Putting my hands over my face i apologized to Rend for leaving him. I fell to my knees and leaned forward bowing into the snow. I stayed like that wishing the cold would take me and i could die to. "What a sorry being." An indifferently kind voice murmured. I lifted my head to look at the owner of such a voice. A woman stood there, her eyes were yellow and a top her head was a set of horns. She smiled wickedly."A fiend." I whispered. Getting to my feet i shoved her as hard as my body would allowed. She stumbled back glaring at me.
"What in holy hell do yas think ya doing?"she snapped.
"Kill me... Please kill me." I said shoving her again.
"Quit it."she ordered,"i wont kill yas."
"I left him. Hes dead. My brother." My eyes welled with tears again. Hiccuping gasps made my throat burn from the cold. She watched me with interest now. Touching my head she said,"maybe i can help."

I led her back to the car and climbed into the car to retrieve Rend. He was still limp, not stiff yet. She touched him with a hand as i cradled his body. Her eyes got a sympathetic look. 'Was he to far to be saved?' I wondered. She met my eyes.
"I can bring him back, by sharing my life." She said then added," but in return... Im sure you know what i want."
I didn't have to think about it. I agreed and held him out to her,"Just save him, please. Its not worth living without him."

Her magic was beautiful as it danced over Rend's skin before sinking into his pores. It was amazing to watch the color return to his skin and the light in his eyes return. She handed him back to me carefully. I held him tight as he gasped for air. "Big brother?" His soft voice asked. I nodded happily. The last of my tears spilled out and dripped onto his skin. He hugged me back trying to make me stop crying. The woman cleared her throat. I looked at her, then glanced down at my brothers small figure. His back rose and fell when he breathed. I pulled back from him to look at his face. He searched my face with confused eyes, i felt the seriousness contort my face. I leaned forward and kissed his forehead. He smiled at the attention. I let him go suddenly and this confused him. "We had a deal." I said under my breath. The woman took my hand and smiled. My body felt like it were on fire but i withheld my scream. Suddenly i was blind.

Rend sat there watching as his older brother disappeared into smoke with the woman. He sat there staring into the snowy night. He said nothing for a long time. Then he climbed from the car, the exertion turning his stomach. Following the tire tracks he stayed as cold as the snow. The odd calm that came over him reminded  him of the numbness of loss that ached inside him. He reached the road in time to see the lights of a police car. He stepped into the lights and collapsed, everything suddenly slammed into him. All the feelings, all the ache of revival, and even a strange feeling he didn't recognize. It was like his body filled with worms. They snaked beneath his skin and burrowed deep into his body before sending a toxin through his blood. He spasmed and shuddered as it filled up his entire body with a burning itch. Peeking through tightly squinted eyes  he saw a slick shine reflect the cars in someone's shoes. The lights lost all their color. They became pulsing shades of gray. They everything was consumed by the black of unconsciousness.

	She sat at the edge of her hospital bed looking out to the misty morning rolling over the city. She watched the birds roll and play with the wind that came off of the sea; she did this every morning. It had been hard for her these past few weeks, ever intensive treatments or  experimental drugs, she was fighting but losing her stamina.
	She got up slowly cringing at the feel of the chilled floor on her bare feet. She supported herself with the iv, she found it sad that  she was so young but she needed help just to walk down the hall.
	She was on her usual morning stroll around the hospital to see if there was any new excitement this morning. She noticed her favorite nurse and gave her a wave but she looked right past her with very sad look on her face. This wasn’t uncommon some mornings, they were always busy.
She walked to one of her favorite hallways, it was her favorite because of the pattern on the carpet in this section of the hospital. Also it was one of the most used hallways in the hospital and from here she could sit in one of the big couches and watch people as they came or left. She loved watching people leave, walking out into the morning daylight, she was envious.
	It was then that she noticed the kind looking elderly man sitting contently alone on one of the couches, it looked as though he was pondering something with a happy gaze on his face. She didn’t know what it was but there was something about this kindly looking old man that seemed so familiar to her, and so she decided to make a friend this morning.
	She loved talking to new people and hearing their stories of why they were there, Sometimes she comforted, sometimes she waited with people expecting new family members. Those were her favorite, seeing the joy on the family's faces when they got to see a new baby; she hadn’t felt that kind of joy ever.
	As she approached the old man he broke his stare into the distance and greeted her with a kind warm smile.
	“What’s your name my dear?” he asked with  a slightly trembling deep voice as she sat down next to him.
	“Katherine, but my friends just call me Kathy. You can call me Kathy.” she said so sure of herself, though she appeared so weak.
	“Ahhh Katherine, what a beautiful name. You know I had a daughter named Katherine, she was so beautiful.” he replied giving the young girl a slight wink.
	She giggled at this, “So what brings you here today mister?”
	“Ahh, just visiting someone. I was waiting for them to come get me, you see I can’t walk that well anymore.” He said with a slight grin showing in his eyes.
	“Well...” Katherine coughed slightly “Well, I can’t walk that well either so that makes both of us!” She smiled at the old man.
	“What is your favorite animal Kathy?” The old man asked softly.
	“Well any type of bird really.” She responded with happiness in her weak voice.
	“Have I got a story for you.” Said the old man.
	He told her all about birds and it was the most amazing story she had ever heard. He told about his time as a pilot, flying so fast and gracefully with the birds, rolling and playing on the currents of winds. She was entranced. He told her about his time paragliding, “Sometimes it was as if I had wings, just like the birds.” he told her.
	They talked for hours it seemed but no one came to meet the old man.
	“Well I’ve taken up enough of you time mister I really should get back to my bed.” Kathy started to get up.
	“Do you have time for just one more story Kathy?” The old man asked.
	“Well I guess just one more.” She sat back again getting comfortable.
	“Well this one is about a strong young girl. She was so beautiful, but she had such a horrible illness.” There was a hint of sadness in his voice. “She fought for so long, but she got so tired.”
	Kathy saw a tear rolling down the old man’s face. She looked away and noticed her parents rushing into the hospital through the big glass doors tears in their eyes. She got up as fast as she could calling to them, but they just kept on walking to the elevators and got in.
	She turned around to the old man confused and said “What’s going on mister?”
	They can’t hear you sweetie, that’s why I’m here.
It was then that she knew exactly who he was, she knew he’d seemed familiar.
	“But why did you make me fight, why did you make me feel all that pain? Why would you do that to me?” She was becoming upset.
	Another tear rolled down his face. “My sweet Kathy, all the pain you felt I felt doubly, I tried to let you fight it, I really did. You are one of the strongest people I’ve ever watched over, I wanted you to win, but some fights we just can’t. Please, understand I was always with you, I was always holding you through the worst of it.” There was pain in his voice.
	She walked back to him and wiped the tears from his face, she was walking more stable now. “It’s okay, I know it’s time.”
	With this the old man slowly stood up. “I have and will always love you so very much Kathy, you are always so strong.” The wrinkles had faded from his face now as he stood up.
	“Would you like to go for a nice walk Kathy?” The man inquired.
	“Only if you’ll tell me those wonderful stories again.” She said with a smile.
	“Come, I’ll show you.” He took her hand and they walked through the big glass doors together, into the beautiful morning light.

answer: Kathy is sad about many things but especially the passing of her mother, as well as the possibility of her passing during her illness.

Negative emotions are associated with pain, sadness, and frustration, but having a chance to reflect on these feelings can lead to positive change.

answer: Kathy finds it sad that she is so young but needs the help of the iv just to talk down the hall. The nurse has a very sad look on her face. Kathy is envious of the people walking out into the daylight. There's a hint of sadness in the old man's voice when he tells Kathy's story. She notices her parents rushing into the hospital with tears in their eyes. When she realizes he let her suffer, she becomes upset. The man mentions that her pain hurt him twice as much as it hurt her. There's pain in his voice as he says this.

answer: The young girl, Katherine, had to endure harsh treatments and drugs to fight her illness. She experienced sadness and pain during this time, but an old man came and shared stories with her, giving her strength. The old man happened to be Katherine's deceased mother. The old man explained that he felt the same pain she felt, but it was important for her to fight for as long as she could. Katherine knew it was time for her to go, and she walked hand-in-hand with her mother for one last walk. Together, the two walked into the morning light with no more pain. Negative emotions in this story were sadness and pain.

answer: The narrator is described in terms of her positive emotions. She feels grateful and happy when meeting her favorite nurse.

When she sees her parents coming for her, she describes them in terms of sorrowful tears. Her illness is described as something that troubles her immensely.


text:
By thirty, your life's pretty much over. Even though you technically still have more than half left, once you have a family, a job, and a home, every day is exactly like the last. There are no unanswered questions, nothing to look forward to. By thirty, you've realized that life is dull, drab, and meaningless; you're just riding it out.

Your alarm clock blares, so you groggily slap at it until it shuts up. You crack open your eyes. The fire-red 6:00 taunts you from the nightstand. You drag yourself out of bed. When your wife stirs, you pretend to apologize for waking her. She smiles and doesn't believe you. You shave, shower, and dress in your favorite shirt and tie which, since you have no personality, is black on white. You stagger into the kitchen and start brewing coffee, soon followed by your dazed wife with her frazzled hair and ratty bathrobe. She plops her sagging ass into a chair (you pray it doesn't break) and stares zombily into space, picturing the kitchen she should have had. You pour two cups, the steam drifting lazily from the dull black pools, and drop into the seat opposite her. You push her mug over and even attempt some inane, frivolous conversation. But she's busy sipping her coffee and wondering what she ever saw in you so she responds in grunts. Silence shortly reclaims the room. Then your little girl trudges in, so suddenly the two of you are cheerful and in love. While Mommy's busy complementing Daddy's tie ("My, how interesting!"), the little girl pours her own cereal and orange juice. She joins Mommy and Daddy at the table, but doesn't utter a word; she knows they're faking. Kids are smart like that. When she silently finishes and leaves to prep for school, you rise, spit a goodbye at your wife (the kid's not here, so no need to kiss), march out the door, and fire up your '98 Ford Escort. The rattling shakes open the glove compartment, so annoyance tugging at the fringes of your brain, you slam it shut. Even though you will never get it repaired, you remind yourself to do it anyway. Then you accelerate and brake and turn until you're lost in those short, yellow lines that happen to be zipping by.

That's where you are right now: mesmerized by an endless parade of golden dashes, wondering how life managed to slip you by. It's actually quite simple: you screwed up the first part.

Life flows like the daily commute. There are two distinct legs: navigating to and cruising along the highway. The initial is substantially more involved; you're constantly accelerating, braking, and turning, meticulously reading every street sign to pick your way through the complex matrix of roads. Since you're paying attention, encountering new situations, and still fresh to the drive, this shorter leg seems the longer; there is more to remember so you remember more.

Then you merge into the swift river of cars of the highway. Breathing a sigh of relief, you settle into your seat and lose yourself in whatever tune is on the radio. Hopefully, nothing happens; every minute is just cruising steadily along the smooth pavement while kind of keeping track of the cars around you. But without unique events, the minutes blend into each other. Time becomes slippery and insubstantial. Before you know it, you've arrived at your destination, wishing you lived further away.

Life works like that. When you're young, dumb, and inexperienced, you're left to forge your way through an intricate spider web of paths, hopefully with a map or other guide, but usually not. You decide who you are, what you believe, your profession, whether you even graduate high school, and whether Debra is actually your soul mate or if you should push for that abortion. Some people guess right and comfortably cruise along for the rest of their lives. But when they don't have guidance, it's easy to see how so many young are lost.

As a result of the constantly changing landscape and plethora of new experiences of young life, this shorter leg (thirty years at most) seems the longer. Then you merge onto the highway; you have a spouse named Debra who hates your guts, a job you planned to work for two years but this is already your eighth, and a kid who's too smart to talk to you. You watch as the days blend into one miserable stream and, before you know it, you're dead. But that's what happens when you fuck up that initial leg; you end up driving to nowhere until you run out of gas or crash.

So, in a moment, you will pull into a parking lot. Your ankle sore for no reason whatsoever, you will limp into the concrete building, blowing right by the motivational poster depicting the long and tumultuous history of the company. Cassie, the bubbly receptionist, will perkily greet you. You will neadrathalically grunt back. After an eternity of making calls in your droll office, the last will be to Debra, notifying her that you're leaving work (bitch better have your dinner ready). As you walk out the door, Cassie will energetically wave goodbye. You will ignore her.

You will crawl through traffic home in your sputtering car with the incessantly swinging glove box to stagger inside, exhausted from yelling at idiot drivers. Fortunately, the steam will still be rising from your formerly frozen lasagna. Since words only spark argument and truth, you will eat in silence. After, you will try to act sophisticated by reading the newspaper, but your wife's cooking show will be too damn loud. You will quietly hiss at her to please turn it down. She won't. You will remain mum for a few minutes, penting up your boiling rage. When it finally bursts free, you will throw the paper to the floor, yourself to your feet, and your words at your bitch wife. You don't have the patience anymore for her pointless cooking shit.

Debra will be unfazed. She will flat out ask you when you ever had the patience for her pointless cooking shit or her at all, calmly rehashing your utter failure as a husband and a father. Even though she ain't so perfect herself, you will storm off to bed in a huff, anger clamping your mouth shut. It's hard to argue with someone who's right.

And the whole time, the little girl will be curled up to the crack of her door, listening intently to every word, lonely tears snaking down her face. Just like every other day.

Air Vice Marshal JULIE HAMMER, (born 17 February 1955) is an Australian engineer and a retired senior officer in the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF). She was the first woman to be promoted to one-star rank, and also the first woman to be promoted to two-star rank, in the Australian Defence Force. She was also the first woman to command an operational unit in the RAAF.

Early life

Julie Margaret Hammer was born in Brisbane on 17 February 1955.[1] She was educated at Brisbane Girls Grammar School.[2] Graduating in 1971, she was placed eighth in the State of Queensland in the Senior Public Matriculation Examination.[3] She attended the University of Queensland where she majored in Physics, graduating with a Bachelor of Science with Honours.[4]

Service history

In 1977, Hammer joined the RAAF as an Education Officer, serving in the engineer cadet squadron at Frognall, Melbourne until 1979, and then Instructor at the RAAF School of Radio at Laverton.[5][6]

In 1981, the Engineer Branch was opened to women and she transferred to the Electronics Category.[7] She managed deep-level maintenance on the RAAF's F-111, UH-1 Iroquois, CH-47 Chinook, and Canberra aircraft with No. 3 Aircraft Depot at RAAF Base Amberley. She then worked at Headquarters Support Command in the engineering management of avionics equipment for the RAAF fleet. In June 1985 she was promoted to squadron leader,[8] and became Sub-Section Head in the Aircraft Equipment Engineering Division (AEENG3) of Headquarters Support Command at Victoria Barracks, Melbourne.[9]

After 16 months study at No. 5 Advanced Systems Engineering Course at RAF Cranwell, she became a liaison officer in the Directorate of Scientific and Technical Intelligence at the Ministry of Defence in London.[10] After the completion of her Master of Science thesis in Aerosystems Engineering in 1987, she became a technical intelligence analyst with the Joint Intelligence Organisation in Canberra. This was followed by work on the P-3 Orion ESM Project, first as project engineer and then, following promotion to wing commander, as project manager.[11]

In 1992, she assumed command of the Electronic Warfare Squadron at RAAF Base Edinburgh, becoming the first woman to command an operational unit of the RAAF,[12] for which she was awarded the Conspicuous Service Cross in the Australia Day list in 1997.[13] She was also the recipient of the 1996 Association of Old Crows (Australian Chapter) Award for Distinguished Service to Electronic Warfare.[14]

Returning to Canberra in 1996, she took the role of Project Director of Joint Project 2030 (JP2030), the Australian Defence Force's Joint Command Support Environment (JCSE), in the Command and Support Systems Branch of the Defence Acquisition Organisation (DAO).[15] She completed a Graduate Diploma in Strategic Studies at the Joint Services Staff College, and became the first woman in the RAAF to become a member of the General List when she was promoted to group captain in 1996.[16] She was seconded for four months to serve on the Science and Technology Team of the Defence Efficiency Review.[17]

During 1999, she was the lone Australian student at the Royal College of Defence Studies, completing a 12-month course in strategic and international studies. Returning to Australia in December 1999, she was promoted to air commodore, becoming the first woman to achieve that rank and the first to be promoted to one-star rank in the ADF.[18] When she was subsequently promoted to air vice marshal in 2003, she became the first woman to attain two-star rank in the ADF.[19]

She assumed duties as Director General Information Services, responsible for the operations and support of Defence's fixed communications networks and computer systems throughout Australia. In December 2001, she became the first woman Commandant of the Australian Defence Force Academy. That year she was awarded the Sir Charles Kingsford Smith Memorial Medal by the Royal Aeronautical Society to recognise her contribution to Australian aerospace, and she delivered the Kingsford Smith Memorial Lecture.[20]

She was appointed by the Minister Assisting the Prime Minister for the Status of Women to be one of Australia's Honouring Women Ambassadors in 2002.[21] She became the University of Queensland's 12th Alumnus of the Year in 2003,[22] and a Member of the Order of Australia in 2004.[23]

Later career

Retiring from the RAAF in 2005, Hammer became the National Vice President of Engineers Australia, and its president in 2008.[24] She is a director of the .au Domain Regulator, auDA.[25] In 2008 she was elected as a Fellow of the Australian Academy of Technological Sciences and Engineering,[26] and was appointed an Honorary Fellow of Engineers Australia in 2011.[27]

Hammer has been married to fellow RAAF officer, Air Vice Marshal David Dunlop, since September 2000.[28]

title: Julie Hammer

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

Why was Vice Marshal Julie Hammer awarded with many honors throughout her career?

answer: Because she was a pioneer, or someone who broke a lot of barriers throughout her career in aerospace and engineering fields. She was the first woman to be promoted to one-star rank in the Australian Defense Force. She was also the first woman to command an operational unit in the RAAF, the first woman to command two-star rank in the Australian Defense Force, and the first Australian woman to become a member of the General List when she was promoted to group captain in 1996.

text: Clumsy sentence

refinement: She was a pioneer or someone who broke many barriers throughout her career in the fields of aerospace and engineering. She was the first woman to be promoted to one-star rank in the Australian Defense Force. She was also the first woman to command an operational unit in the RAAF, the first woman to command two-star rank in the Australian Defense Force, and the first Australian woman to become a member of the General List when she was promoted to group captain in 1996.

answer: She was the first woman promoted to two-star rank and the first woman to command an operational unit of the RAAF. She completed a 12-month course of strategic and international studies at the Royal College of Defence Studies and many courses at the Joint Services Staff College. Today, she is working as the National Vice President of Engineers Australia, and  init 2008, she became its president.

She completed a 12-month course of strategic and international studies at the Royal College of Defence Studies and many courses at the Joint Services Staff College. She became President of Engineers Australia in 2008.

answer: While the article does not go into detail about the amount of work and effort that is required to achieve everything that the vice Marshal has done, there is no doubt that it takes an exemplary individual to do as much as she has. She finished university with honors, became proficient enough to be promoted as a squadron leader, and then moving on to achieve so many other accomplishments. While it would be easy to leverage it all to the fact that she is a woman, and thus the 'first female' for a lot of her feats, the volume of her accomplishments is not diminished by the novelty of her gender.

The LEAS CROSS SCANDAL erupted in Ireland when the nursing home with this name, located near Swords in Dublin, closed several weeks after a 2005 _Prime Time_ television report revealed sub-standard living conditions there.[1] The documentary showed a patient with several bedsores who went on to develop MRSA.[2] Public concern over the Leas Cross scandal led to the formation of the Health Information and Quality Authority (HIQA).[3]

Hynes Report

Peter McKenna, a 60-year-old man with Down syndrome and Alzheimer's, who died 13 days after being transferred to the home in 2000, was the subject of a report by Martin Hynes, former head of the Irish Blood Transfusion Service.[4][5] Mr. McKenna had been transferred from St. Michael's House to the nursing home despite the objections of his family - he was a ward of court.[6] He needed round-the-clock nursing care but that was difficult to manage in the nursing home.[7] St. Michael's House described the report as flawed.[8]

O'Neill Report

A report by Professor Des O'Neill reviewed deaths at the home between 2002 and 2005, finding that care was deficient and it was consistent with a finding of institutional abuse.[9][10]

The report also expressed concern at the short time between patients being transferred from hospitals to the nursing home, particularly in the case of patients from St. Itas Psychiatric Hospital.[11][12] It also stated that there was almost a complete absence of systematic monitoring of deaths in Irish nursing homes.[13][14]

[Arundel Street, looking towards Strand] ARUNDEL STREET is a street in the City of Westminster, London, that runs from Strand in the north to Temple Place in the south. It is on land once occupied by Arundel House and its gardens.

Location

[Map by Wenceslaus Hollar (c. 1670s) showing Arundel House.] [The vicinity of Arundel Street (centre) on a 1950s Ordnance Survey map.] Arundel street runs from Strand in the north to Temple Place in the south. Before the construction of the Victoria Embankment (1865–70) it ran as far as the north side of the River Thames. It is joined on its eastern side by Water Street and the modern Maltravers Street, which runs to Milford Lane in the east but was destroyed by the construction of 190 Strand. Howard Street once joined Arundel on the west but no longer exists.

History

[Arundel Hotel advertising, c. late 1800s.] The street is on land once occupied by Arundel House and its gardens, the property of the Howard family, Dukes of Norfolk.[1] Arundel Street and its neighbouring streets, Howard, Norfolk, and Surrey, were all built after Arundel House was demolished by the earl of Arundel in 1678.[2]

It is mentioned nostalgically in John Gay's _Trivia_ (1716) as follows: “Behold that narrow street which steep descends, Whose buildings to the slimy shore extends; Here Arundel's fam'd structure rear'd its frame, The street alone retains the empty name”[3]

The Whittington Club, formed 1847, stood on the east side at the north end on the corner with Water Street. It was designed to offer the advantages of an expensive west end club at lower cost to the middle classes and also offered educational classes.[4]

The Arundel Hotel stood at the south end of the street on the western side at the end of the nineteenth century and start of the twentieth. It billed itself as “the largest private hotel in London”, providing rooms to professional men, officers, and Americans and their families, "for whom is especially provided a free “water cooler”.[5] It was rebuilt in the late nineteenth century and the bay front that faced Victoria Embankment was replaced with a gothic design. The hotel existed until at least the mid-twentieth century.

Buildings

[The modern Arundel House, home of the International Institute for Strategic Studies.] A large mixed-use development is underway on the eastern side of the street known as 190 Strand, as a result of which Maltravers Street will cease to exist.[6][7][8]

At the south end on the corner with Temple Place is the modern Arundel House, home of the International Institute for Strategic Studies. The building is not on the site of the former Arundel House which was further north.

The western side of the street is taken up with office buildings and 190 Strand.

Former inhabitants

Former inhabitants of Arundel Street include:

-   John Anstis, Garter King at Arms.[9]
-   Eustace Budgell, writer for _The Spectator_ and MP.[10][11]
-   George Darley[12]
-   Simon Harcourt, Queen Anne's Lord High Chancellor of Great Britain.[13]
-   Coventry Patmore, poet and author of _The Angel in the House_.[14]
-   John Howard Payne, composer of the song “Home! Sweet Home!”[15]
-   John Playford, publisher of _The English Dancing Master_ (1651).[16]
-   Mrs Porter, tragic actress.[17]
-   Thomas Rymer, antiquarian, died at his home in the street in 1713 and was buried at nearby St Clement Danes.[18]

A NEW REPORT INTO CANNABIS IN THE UK HAS RAISED CONCERNS ABOUT THE POTENCY OF THE DRUG.

The study was conducted at Manchester Metropolitan University.

Researchers there say it suggests most of the cannabis bought on the streets is high in the plant's most dangerous substance.

Only 50 samples of cannabis were tested, all from the Manchester area. They all showed the same results.

The cannabis showed high levels of THC (the chemical that makes users high) and low levels of CBD (the chemical that helps balance its affect).

This research was commissioned by Volteface - a group that wants cannabis to be regulated by the government.

It is now calling for a wider study looking at cannabis potency across the whole of the UK.

"The days where cannabis was a balanced drug are just gone," Paul North, policy advisor for Volteface, tells Newsbeat.

He says that people growing cannabis plants harvest them early, when THC is high and before CBD has developed, to get it on the streets as quickly as possible.

"If you're a drug dealer you're not going to grow balanced strains of weed. Why would you?" says Paul.

"You just want to get it grown and get it out there."

However, these results come as no shock, according to the man who carried out the research.

"These results were in line with what researchers had reported in other countries," Dr Oliver Sutcliffe of Manchester Metropolitan University tells Newsbeat.

However, Paul says he hopes this research will encourage a new government investigation.

A 2007 Home Office survey showed similar results 10 years before the Manchester study.

"I think there's a real need now for a huge survey of cannabis up and down the country," he says.

Volteface are not just looking to make cannabis legal; they want the government to regulate how the drug is grown, due to mental health side effects from THC, which is a psychoactive drug.

"The issue at the moment is that people don't have a choice," Paul says.

"With a regulated market you can give really clear messages around health."

"They'll have the information and the choice. Right now they have nothing."

A spokesperson for the Home Office tells Newsbeat there are currently no plans to change the laws around cannabis and would not comment on whether there would be any new government research into the strength on UK streets.

question: What concerns were raised about cannabis in the UK?

answer: The study found that most of the cannabis available in the UK contains high levels of THC, the chemical that causes a "high", and low levels of CBD, which is thought to balance the THC's effects. These results suggest that street cannabis in the UK is very strong and more harmful than it used to be.

answer: Concerns about the potency of the drug.

answer: The report found that most of the cannabis on UK streets is high in THC, the chemical that makes users feel intoxicated, with low levels of CBD, the chemical that helps balance its affects. This has led the group Volteface to call for a study on cannabis potency across the UK in order to better educate people about the potential harm it could cause.

question: What chemical has high levels in the tested cannabis samples?

answer: THC.

answer: THC.

answer: THC (the chemical that makes users high)

question: What chemical has low levels in the tested cannabis samples?

answer: There are two answers for this question.

text: No, one.

answer: CBD.

text: No content!

question: What does the article propose?

answer: A new government investigation.

text: Inaccurate.

answer: That cannabis be more highly regulated.

answer:
A) Volteface wants a government survey that will also examine the strength of UK's street's weed.

B) Volteface wants to restrict growers' available choices and make cannabis legal to sell.

C) Volteface wants to regulate the psychoactive effects of THC within the drug.

A) Volteface wants a government survey that will also examine the strength of UK's street's weed.

question: Write a ~1 sentence summary.

answer: A new academic study conducted on samples of cannabis in Manchester found that most of the samples had high levels of THC, which is the psychoactive component of cannabis, and low levels of CBD, which is believed to help counteract the effect of THC. The research's sponsor, Volteface, is now calling for a study to be done nationwide to find out the potency of cannabis throughout the UK.

answer: A study of cannabis found that almost all of it has high levels of THC and low levels of CBD, leading to calls for regulation of the drug.

answer: The study on cannabis strength in the UK found that most of the cannabis bought is high in THC, which makes people high, and low in CBD, which could balance the drug's affects. The researchers call for a wider, nationwide study to assess cannabis strength, and also push for cannabis to be regulated to decrease potential negative health effects of THC.

answer: A new study from Manchester Metropolitan University suggests that cannabis bought on UK streets is generally high in THC (the chemical responsible for the 'high' sensation) and low in CBD (the chemical that balances out THC), leading Volteface to call for a wider, government-led investigation into cannabis potency across the country.

answer: The study from Manchester Metropolitan University found that most cannabis has high levels of THC, the chemical which causes a 'high', and low levels of CBD, which offers a balancing effect. The research is calling for a wider study of cannabis across the UK, as without regulation and proper information, people can be exposed to the many dangers of THC.

answer: The study from Manchester Metropolitan University shows that cannabis on UK streets is generally high in THC, making it a potentially overwhelming experience for some users. The group pushing for cannabis regulation is hoping this will lead to an investigation to gauge the strength of cannabis across the UK.

[Your Community]

Being a board member of a homeowner’s association can be difficult at times. The best way to handle any potential contention is to explain that your primary role as a community leader is to enhance the planned community experience equally and fairly.

Even still, you may be asked to deal with tough issues that relate to your next-door neighbor – maybe even your friends. Along with your commitment of time and resources, it can be difficult to explain why a special assessment or a dues increase is needed. It is no wonder then why community members will oftentimes shy away from volunteering their services and committing to becoming new board members even if they are interested.

With interested homeowners being hesitant to commit to becoming a board member, how do you convince concerned people that volunteering is a worthwhile endeavor?  How do you find and select qualified members from the community that are actually interested in wanting to support their communities by becoming a member of the board?

Seeking New Board Members Requires Due Diligence

Directors need to perform due diligence when seeking new candidates. But, it isn’t just the directors who can help with recruiting new Board Members. By following a few tips, the task of performing the appropriate due diligence and finding qualified new board members for your Association may be easier than you think.

8 Tips for Recruiting New HOA Board Members

1.  Have an existing Board Member be a designated “welcoming person”. Then, when a new homeowner moves in, the “welcoming person” can provide introductions, invite them to attend meetings, and encourage them to provide feedback and get involved with a committee. They may be willing or even eager to serve on a committee immediately as a way to meet new people and make new acquaintances.
2.  Add new homeowners to a well organized Association newsletter service. Keeping homeowners informed and educated properly is the beginning of a good relationship.
3.  Ask for opinions from professionals in the community, especially if they have advanced skills in fields like accounting and insurance. These folks are usually quite busy, but if something is a hot topic in the community they may feel compelled to help out with their expertise.
4.  Build a relationship with homeowners who consistently come to meetings. You can start by complimenting them on their interest in the community reflected in their regular attendance. Ask them about their interest or if they have ever considered a board position.
5.  Use Association committee members as a source for new recruits. Landscaping or special project committees can be especially resourceful because these committee members are exposed to many homeowners within the community. Encourage committee members to interact with, invite, and encourage the homeowners they encounter.
6.  Build community relationships and foster goodwill through social activities. Ensure your Association provides regularly scheduled community social events. Community block parties or book clubs are great examples of community builders. Does your community have a clubhouse? Hold regular events to celebrate holidays and sports events. Use these events to build strong relationships while canvasing prospective new board members.
7.  Lead by example. Show community homeowners that being a board member can be fun.
8.  Ask. Sometimes all that Associations need to do is ask their homeowners about their interest in considering becoming a Board Member. Some of the best potential Board Members may simply need to know they are welcome and the worst that can happen is that they say, “no, thank you.”

Board meetings can also be a great place to educate people about the role of the Board, especially their fiduciary responsibilities and how your Association as a corporate entity has a duty to each of its homeowners – the shareholders. The relationships your Board has with its homeowners should be friendly and be welcoming while illustrating the importance of trust, transparency, and commitment to the community’s best interest. Having your Association partner with a management company that has the experience can also help you conduct a well-rounded search for new board members.

After taking all of the tips into consideration, it is essential to recruit folks who seem reasonable and are not interested in promoting private agendas. A Homeowners Association functions best when it is run by people with a vested interest in their community.

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

What does the text say about why due diligence is needed when selecting board members for the homeowner's association?

answer: Due diligence is needed when selecting board members to ensure that they can be relied upon to commit themselves to the Association's interest and the community's best interests.

answer: Due diligence is needed to find qualified new board members. It can filter out folks who want to promote private agendas. By doing due diligence, a Homeowner's Association can attract people with a vested interest in the community.

answer: Homeowner's associations often go through great lengths to find people to serve on the board. The main goal is to find people who are interested in supporting their communities. Due diligence is needed to ensure that the board cooperates harmoniously and advances the company's interests. Often, a competent and trustworthy management company may be necessary to help find people who will support the community. Additionally, the directors of the homeowner's association need to perform due diligence when finding new members to ensure they are the right fit, won't disrupt the HOA, and have no private agendas.

answer: When it comes to selecting new board members, due diligence is always important. The primary role of the board is to enhance the planned community experience in an equal and fair manner, but this requires qualified individuals. The board needs to vet potential board members thoroughly in order to avoid any potential conflicts of interest or challenges.

answer: Because a homeowner's association is a group of people with many different opinions and beliefs than one might think them to have. There must be social activities and outreach in order to build close relationships and prevent personal agendas from overtaking the agendas of the association. A true leader can mold their character to assure that their decisions don't come from their own needs and respects the needs of their stakeholders.
