DOUG HATTAWAY is an American communications consultant, political advisor, and businessman, currently serving as the founder and CEO of Hattaway Communications, Inc., a strategic communications firm based in Washington, D.C. Hattaway was a senior adviser to Hillary Clinton during the 2008 Democratic Party presidential primaries, as well as Al Gore’s spokesman during the 2000 United States presidential election.[1] He was reported by _The Washington Post_ to be on a short list of candidates to serve as White House Press Secretary in the Obama Administration.[2]

Early life and education

Hattaway was born in 1964 and grew up in Tallahassee, Florida.[3] He graduated from Northwestern University’s Medill School of Journalism in 1986 with a Bachelor of Science in Journalism and a major in Political Science. He received his Master of Arts in English from Florida State University.

Career

From 1986 to 1989, Hattaway was press secretary to Representative Andy Ireland (R-FL), who had been elected in 1973 as a Democrat, but switched parties in 1984. Hattaway worked for Rep. Ireland when he was a member of the House Armed Services and Intelligence committees and co-chair of the Defense Burden Sharing Panel, which examined U.S. defense policy in Europe.

During the 1990s, he worked as a freelance correspondent, writing about politics, economics and environmental issues in South and Central America, Northern Ireland, and the Caribbean.

Hattaway served as press secretary for New Hampshire Governor Jeanne Shaheen from 1997 to 1999.

In 2000, Hattaway became the New Hampshire spokesman for the Al Gore 2000 presidential campaign during the primary against Senator Bill Bradley. He was then promoted to become the campaign’s national spokesman. He became the campaign’s primary voice during the Florida recount. After a controversial Supreme Court decision halted the recount, Hattaway told _The New York Times_, “If you count the voter’s intent, Gore wins. If you look for excuses not to count votes, Bush does better.”[4]

After the 2000 election, Hattaway went to Capitol Hill to work for then-Senate Democratic Leader Tom Daschle as communications director, beginning work shortly before the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks and was still in the position when Senator Daschle’s Washington, D.C., office received a piece of mail containing anthrax. Hattaway told _PRWeek_, “I thought I had a good crisis communications experience after the Florida recount. Now I’ve got September 11 and anthrax. It’s not the kind of crisis management experience you want.”[5]

His company, Hattaway Communications, serves high-profile clients in politics, government, advocacy, business and philanthropy, including the world's largest foundations. The firm's stated mission is to “help visionary leaders and organizations achieve ambitious goals that benefit people and the planet.”[6]

Hattaway has appeared frequently as an analyst and commentator on CNN and MSNBC.

Personal life

Hattaway is openly gay, and was married to Jarrett Barrios, CEO of the American Red Cross Los Angeles Region and former member of the Massachusetts House of Representatives.[7][8]

text: My grandpa died not remembering what his wife looked like. They were happily married despite never having enough money. He worked two jobs, as a janitor in a highschool and in a shoe factory on the weekends, and she had one, in a clothing factory, but some days they would only be able to have one meal each. The clothes they wore had multiple patches and the seams were ripping. They wore their shoes until they literally fell apart. this happened once to my grandpa while working in the shoe factory (how ironic) and had to spend the rest of the day working with one shoe, and walk home barefoot because it felt weird walking with only one shoe. Despite all this they were still happy together, but my grandpa wanted more. He wanted to move out of the bad neighborhood, get a house which would keep out the wind at night, and be able to buy good clothes for his wife and himself. Be those types of couples who would go out on the weekends to eat at a restaurant. Yeah, that seemed really nice to him, but out reach. Neither had finished highschool so they weren't able to have most jobs because of that. They both had dropped out of highschool their junior year and got married despite their parents' telling then not to. They had gotten all the money they had gotten from working during highschool and started renting a small apartment which looked like it would fall down any moment, but they didn't mind because they said it would only be temporary. They had now lived in that apartment for 25 years. He was sick and tired of barely getting by each day. Sure, there were some people who didn't have a job or a roof over their head and would go some days without eating at all, but there were also people who had 5 full meals a day, lived in what seemed like a mansion, had 3 cars, and still had money to throw away. He was angry at the cards life had dealt him and he decided that he would do something about it.

Economists grapple with the future of the labour market

The battle between techno-optimists and productivity pessimists continues

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

WHY is productivity growth low if information technology is advancing rapidly? Prominent in the 1980s and early 1990s, this question has in recent years again become one of the hottest in economics. Its salience has grown as techies have become convinced that machine learning and artificial intelligence will soon put hordes of workers out of work (among tech-moguls, Bill Gates has called for a robot tax to deter automation, and Elon Musk for a universal basic income). A lot of economists think that a surge in productivity that would leave millions on the scrapheap is unlikely soon, if at all. Yet this year’s meeting of the American Economic Association, which wound up in Philadelphia on January 7th, showed they are taking the tech believers seriously. A session on weak productivity growth was busy; the many covering the implications of automation were packed out.

Recent history seems to support productivity pessimism. From 1995 to 2004 output per hour worked grew at an annual average pace of 2.5%; from 2004 to 2016 the pace was just 1%. Elsewhere in the G7 group of rich countries, the pace has been slower still. An obvious explanation is that the financial crisis of 2007-08 led firms to defer productivity-boosting investment. Not so, say John Fernald, of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, and co-authors, who estimate that in America, the slowdown began in 2006. Its cause was decelerating “total factor productivity”—the residual that determines GDP after labour and capital have been accounted for. Productivity has stagnated despite swelling research spending (see chart). This supports the popular idea that fewer transformative technologies are left to be discovered.

[]

Others take almost the diametrically opposed view. A presentation by Erik Brynjolfsson of MIT pointed to recent sharp gains in machines’ ability to recognise patterns. They can, for instance, outperform humans at recognising most images—crucial to the technology behind driverless cars—and match dermatologists’ accuracy in diagnosing skin cancer. Mr Brynjolfsson and his co-authors forecast that such advances will eventually lead to a widespread reorganisation of jobs, affecting high- and low-skilled workers alike.

Productivity pessimism remains the norm among official forecasters, but more academics are trying to understand how automation may affect the economy. In a series of papers, Daron Acemoglu of MIT and Pascual Restrepo of Boston University present new theoretical models of innovation. They propose that technological progress be divided into two categories: the sort that replaces labour with machines; and that which creates new, more complex tasks for humans. The first, automation, pushes down wages and employment. The second, the creation of new tasks, can restore workers’ fortunes. Historically, the authors argue, the two types of innovation seem to have been in balance, encouraged by market forces. If automation leads to a labour glut, wages fall, reducing the returns to further automation, so firms find new, more productive ways to put people to work instead. As a result, previous predictions of technology-induced joblessness have proved mostly wrong.

However, the two forces can, in theory, fall out of sync. For example, if capital is cheap relative to wages, the incentive to automate could prevail permanently, leading the economy to robotise completely. The authors speculate that, for now, biases towards capital in the tax code, or simply an “almost singular focus” on artificial intelligence, might be tilting firms towards automation, and away from thinking up new tasks for people. Another risk is that much of the workforce lacks the right skills to complete the new-economy tasks that innovators might dream up.

These ideas shed light on the productivity paradox. Mr Brynjolfsson and his co-authors argue that it can take years for the transformative effects of general-purpose technologies such as artificial intelligence to be fully felt. If firms are consumed by efforts to automate, and such investments take time to pay off, it makes sense that productivity growth would stall. Investment has not been unusually low relative to GDP in recent years, but it has shifted away from structures and equipment, towards research-and-development spending.

If research in automation does start yielding big pay-offs, the question is what will happen to the displaced workers. Recent trends suggest the economy can create unskilled jobs in sectors such as health care or food services where automation is relatively difficult. And if robots and algorithms become far cheaper than workers, their owners should become rich enough to consume much more of everything, creating more jobs for people.

The risk is that without sufficient investment in training, technology will relegate many more workers to the ranks of the low-skilled. To employ them all, pay or working conditions might have to deteriorate. If productivity optimists are right, the eventual problem may not be the quantity of available work, but its quality.

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

What does the text say about productivity pessimism?

answer: Productivity pessimism is low productivity growth despite the rapid advancement of information technology. There is fear among economists that due to low productivity and the steady rise of automation, hordes of workers would be out of work soon. History seems to support productivity pessimism. From 1995 to 2004 output per hour worked grew at an annual average pace of 2.5%, but from 2004 to 2016, the pace was just 1%. In the G7 group of rich countries, the pace has been slower. Bill Gates has called for a robot tax to deter automation, while Elon Musk has called for a universal basic income.

answer: According to the text, productivity pessimists believe that productivity growth is low due to the low employment and wages caused by the adoption of automation. The underlying cause for the lower productivity growth is decelerating total factor productivity. Some economists, who disagree with the productivity pessimist view, nonetheless consider the possibility of joblessness due to technology advances.

text: - The underlying cause of lower productivity as given in the response is only one part of the problem.

refinement: According to the text, productivity pessimists believe that productivity growth is low due to the low employment and wages caused by the adoption of automation. One of the underlying causes for the lower productivity growth is decelerating total factor productivity which is what is left of the GDP when labor and capital have been subtracted. Another cause is lower investment, especially after the 2007 financial crisis. Some economists, who disagree with the productivity pessimist view, nonetheless consider the possibility of joblessness due to technology advances.

text: The word "technology" in the last sentence is used incorrectly.

Another cause is lower investment, especially after the 2007 financial crisis. Some economists, who disagree with the productivity pessimist view, nonetheless consider the possibility of joblessness due to technological advances.

answer: Twentieth-century economists tended to ignore technology, but economists have recently paid attention to the effects of technology on other industries. One economist who has studied this recently is Erik Brynjolfsson of MIT. Brynjolfsson says that in the past few years, machines have shown increased ability to recognize patterns and have significantly outperformed humans at recognizing most images.

text: There is no evidence in the passage to suggest that twentieth-century economists tend to ignore technology.

refinement: Twentieth-century economists have always grappled with the influence of technology on labor market. One economist who has studied this recently is Erik Brynjolfsson of MIT. Brynjolfsson says that in the past few years, machines have shown increased ability to recognize patterns and have significantly outperformed humans at recognizing most images.

text: The response does not fully address the questions of productivity pessimism. It is, instead, focused on the view of one particular economist about the rise and effectiveness of machines.

refinement:
Twentieth-century economists have always grappled with the influence of technology on the labor market. While one group of economists are optimistic about the impact of technology on the labor market, there are some who are pessimistic. On the pessimistic side, there is a huge concern that the surge in machine productivity will leave most adults jobless. Recent events have been proving this to be the case - from 1995 to 2004 the productivity output in the labor market was 2.5%. The amount reduced further to 1% from 2004 to 2006. The financial crisis of 2007 made things worse as many companies deferred any investment in productivity until the economy improves.

There are some economists like Erik Brynjolfsson of MIT who, while excited about technological advances and believing it will elevate humans, are also concerned about its disruptive impact on workers.

answer: The text discusses how productivity growth has stagnated in recent years despite advances in information technology. This lends credence to the idea that automation is replacing workers and causing a "productivity paradox." There is disagreement on the long-term effects of automation, with one school of thought predicting joblessness and another suggesting that automation ultimately leads to more and better jobs.

text: While the response does a good job of balancing the arguments on the side of techno-optimists and productivity pessimists, it did not fully address the questions.

refinement:
The text discusses how productivity growth has stagnated in recent years despite advances in information technology. This lends credence to the idea that automation is replacing workers and causing a "productivity paradox." There are two camps of thought - economists who believe technological advancement will bring more leisure and breakthrough in health; the other camp is skeptical about technology, especially in the light of recent job losses to automation.

The productivity pessimists believe more technological advancement will make many workers become low-skilled and push wages down, decreasing the quality of workers' lives in general. Now while there are economists who tout the positive long-term effects of technology on the quality of human lives, there is a consensus that the recent technological advancements have and will continue to make workers jobless for the foreseeable future.

answer: Productivity optimism was very high in the first two decades of the 21st century, with most economists predicting rapid technological advancement. However, since then, productivity growth has stalled, slowing down even the world's economies. The reason for this, the thinking goes, is that research and development (R&D) has been consumed by the pursuit of increasing automation, which remains doubtful. M.I.T.'s Erik Brynjolfsson lays out the concern by saying that automation still has farligt ways to go before it balances out with the new-economy tasks that need to be completed that it might create.

text:
- The phrase "which remains doubtful" makes the third sentence clunky and unclear in its meaning.

-The word "farligt" has a typo.

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

What does the text say about Daron Acemoglu and Pascual Restrepo?

answer: Daron Acemoglu and Pascual Restrepo wrote several papers on innovation that separated innovations into two types: "automation and creation of new, more complex tasks." The former pushes down wages and employment, while the latter creates more jobs. They propose that "technological progress be divided into two categories: the sort that replaces labour with machines; and that which creates new, more complex tasks for humans." The authors describe "historically, the two types of innovation seem to have been in balance, encouraged by market forces," if the two fall out of sync, "without sufficient investment in training, technology will relegate many more workers to the ranks of the low-skilled."

text: The last sentence is long and needs a conjunction to help it make more sense.

refinement: Daron Acemoglu and Pascual Restrepo wrote several papers on innovation that separated innovations into two types: "automation and creation of new, more complex tasks." The former pushes down wages and employment, while the latter creates more jobs. They propose that "technological progress be divided into two categories: the sort that replaces labour with machines; and that which creates new, more complex tasks for humans." The authors describe "historically, the two types of innovation seem to have been in balance, encouraged by market forces," however, if the two fall out of sync, "without sufficient investment in training, technology will relegate many more workers to the ranks of the low-skilled."

answer: Daron Acemoglu and Pascual Restrepo of MIT and Boston University present new theoretical models of innovation, dividing technological progress into two categories, replacing labor with machines and creating new tasks for humans. They say that these two types of innovation have been in balance historically, but robotization could lead to significant joblessness.

text: The last sentence is inaccurate in light of the information in the article.

refinement: Daron Acemoglu and Pascual Restrepo of MIT and Boston University present new theoretical models of innovation, dividing technological progress into two categories, replacing labor with machines and creating new tasks for humans. The two economists believed these models have always balanced themselves out over time. In practicality, the two theories of innovation do fall out of sync, especially when capital is too cheap in comparison to wages which in turn incentivizes companies to keep automating, leading to a completely AI-dominated economy with a few humans at the helm.

answer: Daron Acemoglu and Pascual Restrepo are economists who have produced new theoretical models of innovation. These models suggest that technological progress typically creates both replacement of labour with machines as well as creating new tasks for humans. If automation leads to a labour glut, wages fall and investment may shift away from creating new tasks for humans, leading to high potential for problems.

answer: Daron Acemoglu and Pascual Restrepo are theorists who seek to explain productivity decline. They believe that automation can have negative effects on employment, but that this risk can be mitigated if automation is counterbalanced by increased productivity of creating new tasks.

text: The two economists do not believe automation will have negative effects on employment due to the balancing out effort made by firms to find new kinds of work for human employees.

refinement: Daron Acemoglu and Pascual Restrepo are theorists who seek to explain productivity decline. They believe that the risk of employment caused by automation will always be mitigated because of the firms' need to find more complex tasks for their human employees to undertake. However, this does not translate into the real world where automation is producing lots of low-skill workers with no adequate jobs.

answer: Daron Acemoglu of MIT and Pascual Restrepo of Boston University wrote a series of papers presenting new theoretical models of innovation. They propose that technological progress be divided into two categories. The first category replaces labor with machines (automation) and pushes down wages and employment. The second category creates new, more complex tasks for humans, which can restore workers' fortunes. The authors argue that historically, the two types of innovation seem to have been in balance, encouraged by market forces.

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

What does the text say about what could go wrong with Acemoglu and Restrepo's theoretical model?

answer: The authors' theoretical model postulates that technological progress may become out of sync, with automation resisting paying off and thus causing productivity growth to stall. The potential problem arising is that without sufficient investment in training, the effect of automation may potentially reduce the quality of available work.

text: There are a few assumptions baked into the response - one is that the response is not clear about who the "sufficient investment in training" is for, neither does it make it clear about whose "productivity" it is talking about (humans' or machines').

refinement: The authors' theoretical model postulates that technological progress may become out of sync, with automation resisting paying off and thus causing general productivity to stall. The potential problem arising is that without sufficient investment in the training of human staff, the effect of automation may potentially reduce the quality of available work.

answer: The theoretical model presented by Acemoglu and Restrepo suggests that if automation leads to a labour glut, wages might fall to the point where further investment in automation is not worth it. This could lead to a downward spiral in which automation creates more jobs needs but of poorer quality.

answer: No answer

text: The response is not accurate about the lack of answers in the article.

refinement: Acemoglu and Restrepo's theoretical model of innovations is about how automation first pushes down wages and employments... as well as how that, in turn, spurs firms to create new complex tasks suitable for human workers to undertake. However, this does not work in the real world where automation could continue to grind down wages with no incentive to companies to retrain their staff nor find them new complex tasks.

answer: The two forces in the theoretical model (automation and the creation of new tasks for workers) can fall out of sync. For instance, if capital is cheap relative to wages, businesses could embrace automation permanently, leading the economy to robotize completely. Another risk is that much of the labor force doesn't have the right skills to complete the new-economy tasks that innovators might dream up.

answer: No answer

[Clifford's Tower in York historical building. Canvas Print by Robert Gipson]

This stone tower is all that is left of the once large York Castle. Scenes of much blood letting over the centuries, and now stands on its mound and known as Cliffords Tower it is open to the public for viewing. This image is processed using some HDR software.

about our Canvas

-   Manufactured in the UK by expert craftsmen.
-   Printed on 260 GSM 100% polyester, which is much stronger and longer lasting than paper or plastic material.
-   Standard 38mm (1.5inch) pine wood frame on all our canvases.
-   Stapled and taped on the back to create a clean and seamless finish allowing the canvas to reset perfectly on the wall.
-   All our canvases come with metal hangers attached ready to hang.

Bleed options explained __

CLONED ON SIDES

We take about 1.5" [38mm] of the edge of the picture and duplicate it on the side of the canvas so that none of the frontal image is lost and creates a slight 3D effect. Also known as "mirrored" on the sides.

WRAPPED ON SIDES

The entire image is stretched over the entire canvas. Meaning that the sides of the image will be on the side of the canvas. This gives the image a "flow" to it, however part of all 4 sides will be off the sides and can be "lost" depending on where the canvas is placed.

WHITE SIDES

We print the image on the front of the canvas, and add 1” [25mm] of white around the sides.

BLACK SIDES

We print the image on the front of the canvas, and add 1” [25mm] of black around the sides.

about our Framed Mounted Print

Showroom quality and exceptional finishing that will enhance your living space, so that you can enjoy luxury art at an affordable price.

Printed on Epson 189gsm paper. This bright white paper is perfect for images and your art. The paper highly saturates images, while maintaining excellent highlight and shadow detail. The image is encased in a framework that is 30mm wide and 13mm deep.

Photo4me uses "Polcore Frames" which are made from 100% high quality recycled material, but then given a wooden finish as described above.

NOTE: DUE TO THE BESPOKE NATURE AND NATURAL CUTTING AND FITTING OF THE PICTURE, MOUNT AND FRAME, THERE MAY BE A SMALL DISCREPANCY BETWEEN THE TOTAL PRODUCT DIMENSIONS STATED AND THE PRODUCT YOU RECEIVE.

Additional details __

Our Framed Mounted Prints can come in five different coloured frames:

-   Black brushed finish.
-   Natural wood colour, smooth woodgrain finish (Oak coloured).
-   Teak "antique" smooth woodgrain finish.
-   White brushed finish.
-   Grey woodgrain finish.

STANDARD FITTING

When the order is near completion, we professionally tape the mount and picture into the frame. This however can cause the image to become wavy overtime due to gravity or atmospheric changes in temperature.

DRY-MOUNTING

This is the process where your printed photo is irreversibly bonded to a stiff, flat board using heat and a vacuum environment to ensure your print is perfectly flat and stays flat. No risk of ever 'rippling' where the print develops a 'wavy' surface due to atmospheric changes in temperature and moisture.

*Stig Dagerman - To kill a child*

It is a fine day and the sun rests over the plain. Soon the bells shall sound, for it is sunday. Between a pair of wheat fields two youths have found a path that they've never trod before and in the plain's three villages the windowpanes are shining. Men shave in front of the mirrors on the kitchen tables and women slice bread for the coffee and children sit on the floors buttoning their jackets. It is the happy morning of an evil day, for this day a child shall be killed in the third village by a happy man. As yet the child sits on the floor and buttons its jacket and the man who is shaving says that today they shall take a boat trip down the river and the woman softly sings and serves the freshly sliced bread on a blue plate.

There falls no shadow over the kitchen and yet the man who shall kill the child stands by a red gas pump in the first village. It is a happy man who looks into the camera and in the glass he sees a small blue car and beside the car a young girl who laughs. While the girl laughs and the man takes the beatiful picture the gas salesman tightens the lid on the gas tank and say they will have a fine day. The girl sits down in the car and the man who shall kill a child takes his wallet out of his pocket and say they shall go to the sea and by the sea they'll rent a boat and row far, far out. Through the open windows the girl in the front seat hears what the man is saying, she closes her eyes and when she does so she sees the sea and the man next to her in the boat. He's not an evil man, he's content and happy and before he gets into the car he stands for a moment in front of the radiator which shines in the sun and he enjoys the shine and the smell of gas and bird-cherries. There falls no shadow over the car and the shining fender has no dents and it is not red with blood.

But at the same time as the man in the car in the first village slams shut the door to his left and starts the car the woman in the kitchen in the third village opens her cupboard and finds no sugar. The child who has barely had time to button its jacket and tied its shoes stands on his knees on the couch and sees the river winding its way between the trees and the black little boat that lies pulled up on the grass. The man who shall lose his child is finished shaving and is folding his mirror. On the table stands the cups of coffee, the bread, the cream and the flies. It is only the sugar which is lacking and the mother tells her child to run to Larson's and borrow a few lumps. And while the child opens the door the man shouts after it to hurry, because the boat waits on the beach and they shall row further out than they ever have rowed. When the child then runs through the garden it thinks all the time about the river and the boat and the fish who are swimming and nobody whispers to it that it has eight minutes to live and that the boat shall remain where it rests all day and many days thereafter.

It's not far to Larson's, it's only across the road and while the child runs across the road the little blue car enters the second village. It's a small village with small red houses and newly awake people who sit in their kitchens with their coffee cups raised and watch the car drive by on the other side of the hedge with a large cloud of dust trailing behind it. It goes very fast and the man in the car sees the apple trees and the freshly tarred telephone poles glimpse by like grey shadows. Summer flows through the windows, they race out of the village, they lie in the middle of the road nice and secure and alone - as yet. It's good to drive all alone on a soft, broad road and out on the plain it goes even better. The man is happy and strong and with his right elbow he feels his woman's body. He is not an evil man. He's hurrying to the sea. He couldn't hurt a wasp, and yet he shall soon kill a child. While they rush towards the third village the girl again closes her eyes and plays that she won't open them until they can see the sea and she dreams in harmony with the the soft bumps of the car about how serene it will be.

For so uncaring is life constructed that a minute before a happy man kills a child he is still happy and a minute before a woman screams with fear she can close her eyes and dream of the sea and the last minute of a child's life this child's parents can sit in the kitchen and wait for sugar and speak of their child's white teeth and about a rowing boat and the child itself can close a gate and start walking across a road with a few lumps of sugar wrapped in white paper in its right hand and this entire last minute nothing see except a long, shiny river and a broad boat with silent oars.

Afterwards it is all too late. Afterwards a blue car stands on the road and a screaming woman removes her hand from her mouth and the hand is bleeding. Afterwards a man opens a car's door and tries to stand upright although he has a hole of horror inside himself. Afterwards a few lumps of sugar lie randomly scattered in blood and gravel and a child lies unmoving on its belly with its face tightly pressed against the ground. Afterwards two pale-faced people who have not yet had their coffee run out of a gate and see a sight on the road that they shall never forget. For it is not true that time heals all wounds. Time does not heal a dead child's wound and and it heals very poorly the pain of a mother who has forgot to buy sugar and sends her child across the road to borrow some and just as poorly does it heal the grief of the once happy man who has killed it.

For he who has killed a child does not go to the sea. He who has killed a child goes quietly home and beside him he has a silent woman with her hand bandaged and in all the villages they pass they see not one happy person. All the shadows are very dark and when they part it is still under silence and the man who has killed the child knows that this silence is his enemy and that he will need years of his life to defeat it by shouting that it wasn't his fault. But he knows that is a lie and in his nights' dreams he shall instead wish his life back so he could make this single minute different.

But so uncaring is life against the man who has killed a child that everyting after is too late.

"Hey Gary, you ready to travel to the future?"
Jeff was talking about how the broadcasts from earth for the last few years would reach them in a matter of hours. Sure faster than light travel made travel a snap for the travelers but the same amount of time on earth passes. Gary thought about how he said goodbye to his pregnant wife just two weeks ago, but to her years would have ever passed. Would she still love him? Was he ready to be a dad?
Gary asked "What age do kids start to talk?"
Jeff shared about his own kids and how Gary Jr. would be walking and talking, but that missing that is part of the job. Gary continued, "the best part is the flight home and seeing all the pictures and videos from the last few years in a matter of hours. It's like fastforwarding life!"
Gary feigned a smile and a chuckle but couldn't see how that was a good thing.

The ship sped up after takeoff and Gary's message board started to light up faster and faster. Hundreds of new messages from his wife detailing the pregnancy, how she decorated the nursery in blue. A blue nursery?? It must be a boy then!
The screen was automatically displaying each message so fast it was like a picture book.
Hundreds of photos of her getting bigger flashed on the screen then a video of the birth! The video was more graphic than he expected and he felt horrible for not being there. He felt so close to his wife as she struggled and wished he could take back to each decision to take the mission. She looked in the camera and said "oh Gary, I'm so sorry,  it's all my fault"
She had talked him into the mission, but it seems like she regretted it too. The video ended with his wife crying as she held the pink baby boy.
The screen went back to flashing pictures. Pictures of medical equipment that we're large, square,  and made up of white and clear plastic, with a small pink figure hidden behind the clear plastic.
Gary couldn't stop watching to read any of the text messages from his wife, he couldn't move, he couldn't think.
The pictures of the medical equipent lasted for minutes. How long was this in real time, Gary wondered.
Gary stopped the screen on the first picture of the boy in the nursery. He had a neck and back brace and was using crutches. He must have been at least two years old! Pink skin and no hair, the boys face was slanted with his lips off to one side and an eye much lower than the other.
"This isn't my son!" he thought to himself, horrified at reality and himself.
He continued and stopped at a picture of his wife. She had bags under her eyes, was gaunt, and her hair had thinned.
Gary turned off the screen just when he heard Jeff yelling about something in his messages.
Gary couldn't believe it, it can't be real. They had done everything right.
He gritted his teeth as his eyes welled up and he had the computer start displaying the messages again. He didn't feel anything for the handicapped child in the pictures, for his child.
Another hour of pictures of a woman he called his wife and few weeks ago but now didn't know and don't of a retarded kid he felt nothing for. He held back tears at what these things feelings said about him as a person as the ship docked. They were likely waiting at the station. He didn't know what he would say, or what he could say.

The doors opened and he immediately saw a boy down the hall with the other families strugging to walk toward him on crutches. The other families quickly passed him. And Gary lost sight of him for a second.
There were kids and spouces running and yelling to their loved ones who had also been workers on the ship.
Gary spotten him again. The boy in the back brace who was struggling, he saw him yell for him "DAAAAAD!". Gary's eyes filled instantly and he lost nearly all sight. A few more blind steps and he felt a strong grasp around his hips.
Gary closed his eyes tightly to clear the tears and kneeled down. He couldn't hold what he was feeling back, and he couldn't explain it. It was just happening and he just wanted it to continue. Gary's son felt his face while repeatedly whispering "dad, dad, dad".
Gary saw woman's shoes on the floor behind his son, he followed the legs to find the owner. It was his wife and he stood up to hug her and said "that was too long."
She laughed and agreed.
"Come on son" Gary said as he easily picked up his frail son who was still trying to pet his face.

Excuse any typos or formatting. I wrote this on my phone. I'll come and clean it up later.

title: The Way Back

_LUCY SULLIVAN IS GETTING MARRIED_ is an international best selling 1996 novel by Irish author, Marian Keyes.[1] It chronicles the life of Lucy Sullivan, a 26-year-old perpetually broke, unlucky-in-love office worker from London, who has a penchant for bad boys, a needy, alcoholic and flawed father, a dead-end job and exasperating flatmates, dippy Charlotte and bossy Karen.[2] The book is written in the first person and is described by Keyes as a “sideways” sequel to her first novel _Watermelon_.[3] The novel was adapted into a television series in 1999. It aired on the ITV network, but struggled with numerous scheduling changes. The series has aired internationally and has been released on DVD.

Book

Plot

Lucy visits a fortune teller with her three mis-matched friends, and a marriage is predicted in her future. When the fortune-teller's prophecies for her friends come true, Lucy begins to suspect that she will soon be marrying. Lucy spends the following 12 months looking for Mr Right. Various eligible bachelors are introduced, among them Gus, Lucy's unreliable lover; Daniel, her oldest friend; Chuck, a handsome American; and Adrian, the video shop man. This is followed by a series of disastrous dates, drunken nights out, confessions and revelations.[4] Author Keyes has said, “I'm very fond of that book and I think I have the most affection for Lucy Sullivan as a character. There's a lot of me in there [...] I wanted to write about a single girl in London who goes out with eejit after eejit, you know, because that was really the life I had led, and there was this strange culture of singleness I encountered and I found this very funny. Lucy's depressive, but she has a sense of humour, and that's why I like her.”[5]

Reception

The success of the novel led to publishing deals of more than £600,000, one of the most lucrative ever achieved by an unestablished writer.[6] Between Britain and Ireland _Lucy Sullivan Is Getting Married_ has sold over 250,000 copies; In Ireland, the book went straight to number one and stayed there for nine weeks.[7][8]

TV adaptation

The novel was adapted into an 8-hour, sixteen part, television drama series by Carnival Films for the LWT network. It originally aired on ITV in November 1999.[9] It was described as a “saga about broken hearts and terrifyingly unsuitable boyfriends” with “plenty of workplace-mileage to be extracted from Lucy's job at Nudawn Supplies”.[10] Sam Loggin played Lucy. Her flatmates, Charlotte, a promiscuous dippy blonde, and Karen, a bossy Scottish communal financer, were played by Letitia Dean and Zoë Eeles respectively.[11] Other characters included Lucy's three colleagues: sensitive Meredia (Debbie Chazen), loud-mouthed Megan (Sara Stockbridge), and middle-class Hetty (Gwyneth Strong).[12] The group of girls party their way around London looking for would-be husbands or boyfriends. Gerard Butler starred as Lucy's unreliable lover, Gus.

Scheduling

The series was launched with four episodes in its first week at 10:30pm on ITV, following which it aired once weekly.[13] However, it failed to attract the young adult audience at which it was aimed, so the series was withdrawn (mid series, episode 9) from that timeslot in December 1999. The programme was subsequently aired a year later between November 2000 and January 2001, in the early evening, pre-watershed time slot at 17:05. LWT said, “the underlying tone and structure of the series was not dissimilar to that of the tea-time soaps and, given the wider audience available at that time, it was substantially edited and revoiced to make it suitable for the slot.”[14]

Despite this, the show drew complaints from viewers for featuring a sex scene and bad language. Complaints from viewers about the content of various editions of the series were upheld in part by the Independent Television Commission (ITC) in 2001. Nine complained of the inclusion of a lesbian storyline and kiss, while others believed that the sexual content, swearing and tasteless material were inappropriate for the time of transmission. In its report, the ITC said it had “serious concerns about the scheduling of a series which concentrated on the sexual relationships of a group of young adults, so early in the evening”.[15] A Standards Panel was concerned by the general nature and tone of the content, in particular the sexual themes in one episode, which it “considered were likely to have exceeded the expectations of the majority of the audience at a time when a large number of children would be available to watch it”.[16] It was concluded that certain episodes were, therefore, in breach of the Programme Code.[17]

According to LWT, the series also failed to perform well in the earlier slot and was eventually withdrawn.[18] It has since been repeated on ITV in a late night time slot at various times.

The Maniac

By: Leah Pagano

Chapter 1: Introducing a maniac
Brett grew up in a small town in Pennsylvania. He went to church every Sunday and had a very loving family. But from the time he was a small boy he knew there was something different about him. He could always feel this rage inside of him waiting to burst out. He always held it in for fear of his parents sending him away to the looney bin. But one day when he was about thirteen years old, he stumbled upon a stray cat when he was walking home from school. Normally these cats were afraid of people, but not this one. He was very friendly. So Brett picked him up and took him home knowing his parents wouldn't be home for hours. This was the first time Brett would kill. He thought about it the whole way home. Every step he took the rage grew stronger. He started perspiring profusely. He finally hit the front door of his house but instead of going in he just stood there a few minutes. He turned and decided to go into the basement. He would remain down there for two hours. No sounds. No wails. Just a pool of blood spilling out from under the door. Brett had just unlocked his rage. The worst was yet to come.
	He had just figured out the way to control his rage. Killing. He knew it was wrong but he figured it was just animals so it was okay. What he didn’t realize was that he was slowly turning into a monster. Day after day he slaughtered these poor animals and each day he became stronger, more violent. His fits of rage lasted longer and longer until he finally snapped. This was it. Today would be the day he took it one step further.
Chapter 2: It’s only A Crime If You Get Caught
	He waited patiently outside the grocery store day after day looking, hoping to find The One. The One that would set him free. The One that would finally unlock his brain and let him be normal. Or so he thought inside his twisted head. He saw little girls, little boys and their parents. He decided it would be an adult. Someone bigger than him so he could feel faster, stronger and smarter than them. He knew it would be hard to get them alone. So he went home and thought about his plan. In the middle of the night it came to him. Act like he was lost and ask for a ride. No one would leave a little boy stranded would they? His plan would be put into action Friday night. His parents would be gone for the weekend and no one would be around to interrupt his deadly deeds.
	He waited anxiously through the whole week for Friday to finally arrive. When the day came he quickly packed up his backpack and got on his bike to head to the grocery store. He walked in and saw that the store manager was working the evening shift and would be leaving around midnight. He thought this was the perfect opportunity.
	He waited in the bushes until the manager was walking towards her car. He waited until she had the key in the door and then jumped out, hit her in the head with a rock and then he dragged her body into the bushes. He only lived a few blocks from the store so he knew he had to move in the darkness to not be seen. He slowly and carefully moved the body step by step through yards and driveways. He had left the basement door open for easy access. He quickly threw the body down the steps, closed the door and locked it behind him. What madness lies in store for the night shift manager? Only Brett knew and he was about to unleash a whole new kind of evil.
Chapter 3: In The Torture Chamber
	A few hours passed and there was a lot of clinks and clanks during this time. The manager started to open her eyes. She didn't know where she was. Brett had a mask on his face just in case she would escape. He didn't want to be incriminated for his crime. He walked up to her and saw her name tag. It said Ashley. He looked into her eyes and he could see she was weak. She opened her mouth to speak but then realized she was tied up and gagged. Before she could process all this Brett slammed a white hot brand into her side. With this Ashley screamed and her eyes filled with tears. Brett took great pleasure in this. After all, he was just beginning. He seared her flesh over and over again with the brand before she passed out again. He then moved onto phase two of his plan.
	He grabbed his fathers nail gun. He put Ashley's hands and feet flat against the table and then woke her up with smelling salts. Just as her eyes opened he pulled the trigger on the nail gun and shot a nail into her right hand. He followed the same pattern with the rest of her limbs. He couldn't stand it anymore. He had to end it. He was too pumped to handle anymore. He grabbed a bucket, put it underneath the table and turned around. He returned with a butcher knife. He took his mask off. He told Ashley he wanted her to know what her murderer looked like. And with that, he slit her throat. She was dead in minutes. Now what to do with the body? This had already been planned out as well.
Chapter 4: The Master Plan
	Brett watched as the last few drops of blood left Ashley's body. He was so proud of himself. He finally got all the rage out. He felt “normal”. Now what to do? Get rid of the body of course. He got out his dads saw and began the slow process of hacking her body to pieces. He boiled them up and put them into mason jars. He buried the blood in the backyard. You may ask, what happened to the pieces of her body? Well Brett was slowly feeding his dog Milo the pieces little by little in his dog food. He thought he had committed the perfect crime. How would anyone ever find out. Three months had past and everything was going fine. Brett only had a few pieces left to feed Milo and it would be over forever. That is, until Milo got sick. He begged his dad not to take him to the vet. He said he just had an upset stomach for a few days. But his dad took him anyway. And that's when the truth finally came out. When they x-rayed Milo's stomach they saw all of Ashley's fingernails in there. Brett's dad had no idea what happened. Brett told him he didn't know how they got there. But the vet called the police after they had left and told them what had happened. A few hours later the police arrived at Brett's house with the surveillance tapes from the grocery store. They had seen everything Brett had done until he reached the neighbors yard. Brett ran out of the house as fast as he could. The police said when they caught him he would go to trial for murder. They found the blood in the backyard and the few pieces left of Ashley down in the deep freeze. Brett was done for and he knew it. How long could he avoid the police?
Chapter 5: The Death Of A Maniac
	Brett ran for what seemed like hours. Had it been worth it? All the years of rage finally gone only to go to jail for the rest of his life. No way. He stayed hidden for a few days before the police finally caught up with him. They pulled him out of his hiding space and put handcuffs on him. He went to trial, was found guilty, and sent to a maximum security prison. His first night in he couldn't stand it. He waited until everyone had gone to sleep and the guards were busy bringing in a new prisoner. He tied his bed sheets into a noose and hung himself. By the time the guards found him it was too late. Brett killed himself at age eighteen. Two months shy of graduating and starting his life for real. His parents grieved for him. Ashley's family was happy to have justice served. So this brings us to the end of the story. Or does it? It turns out Brett's girlfriend had just found out she was pregnant a few weeks before he was caught. Will his child have the same mental problems? Will he be a maniac like his father? Or would he live a normal, peaceful life like everyone else? We may never know. Or will we?

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

How does Brett progress from a seemingly normal kid to a murderer?

answer: His mental state appears to be borderline; he's partly distraught by his growing uncontrollable rage, but clearly by the time he's eighteen he embraces it, killing a woman and disposing of the body with glee. His actions don't appear to be spontaneous, but a long thought-out and executed plan.

answer: Brett's rage is always present, but without an outlet it grows stronger over time. He learns to control it by killing animals. As he gets older, he becomes more violent and his rage lasts longer. He finally snaps when he feels he's found the perfect victim.

answer: Brett is a young boy who has always had a rage inside him. He has always held it in because he was afraid of his parents sending him to the looney bin. He kills animals and then starts killing people.

answer: From killing cats on to killing Ashley. He takes some time to develop his full set of tools and build his patience and commitment. After he subdues her, he spends a few hours very focused on the chore of cutting up and disposing of the body in various ways until the new day dawns which probably made him feel the satisfaction he had hoped to find by killing.

Answer the following question based on the above passage:

What was Brett's plan to avoid capture, and how did it fail?

answer: He burned the bodies and told his parents his pet dog was getting sick. Eventually, the pet dog's sickness was investigated, and some of Ashley's fingernails were found in the pet's stomach. Brett was brought to trial for murder and sent to a maximum-security prison. Brett hanged himself his first night in lockup.

text: This answer is full of inaccuracies

refinement: He planned to kill Ashley, chop her body into pieces, and feed the pieces to his dog. He planned to get rid of the body, but he didn't plan for his dog to get sick and for the police to find evidence.

answer: He planned to kill Ashley, chop her body into pieces, and feed the pieces to his dog. He planned to get rid of the body, but he didn't plan for his dog to get sick and for the police to find evidence.

answer: Brett planned to kill the grocery store manager and cut her body into pieces, then put the pieces into mason jars and bury them in the backyard. He planned to feed the pieces to his dog, Milo, and then when Milo got sick, he planned to ask his dad to take him to the vet and hide the evidence. He planned to kill himself in prison after his first night there.

refinement: Brett planned to kill the grocery store manager and cut her body into pieces, then put the pieces into mason jars and bury them in the backyard. He fed the pieces to his dog, Milo, but then when Milo got sick, his dad took the dog to the vet. The vet found fingernails in the dog's stomach and called the police. Brett killed himself in prison after his first night.

answer: He had intended to keep the murder quiet by using the same plan with his father's dog Milo. He fed him pieces of the body to help disguise the evidence trail he was leaving. However, the dog's body didn't play along as Brett had hoped and got sick, meaning The Detail uncovered where the missing body parts had gone.
