WAYNE ARTHUR WHISTLER (October 12, 1944 – April 2, 2020) was an American ethnobotanist, academic and writer. Whistler, an adjunct professor at the University of Hawaii's Department of Botany, was an expert on tropical flora of the Pacific Islands, especially Samoa and Tonga.[1][2]

Education and career

Whistler was born near Death Valley in San Bernardino County, California.[3][4] He earned a B.A. in Biology from the University of California, Riverside, in 1965; an M.A. in Botany, from the University of California, Santa Barbara, in 1966, and Ph.D. in Botany, from the University of Hawaii, in 1979.[5] Once he completed his first two degrees, Whistler served in the Peace Corps as a teacher at Samoa College in Apia, Western Samoa (now known as Samoa).[6][7] He then moved to Hawaii, where he completed a doctorate in botany from the University of Hawaii at Manoa, focusing on Samoan plant life, in 1979.[8]

After completing his Ph.D., Whistler was appointed to a position at the National Tropical Botanical Garden on Kauai and served as a researcher affiliated with the Bishop Museum.[9] He was an adjunct professor at University of Hawaii's Department of Botany and the Lyon Arboretum, a botanical garden managed by the university.[10] He also owned a consulting company, Isle Botanica, and worked on projects focusing on plants in Fiji, the Marshall Islands, the Northern Mariana Islands, Samoa, and Tonga.[11]

Whistler worked on research projects throughout Oceania, but specialized in the flora of Samoa and Tonga.[12] According to colleagues, he knew the Samoan language name for nearly every native plant in that country.[13] Whistler had first lived in Samoa during the 1970s, before the logging and tourism led to the deforestation of much of the country's rainforests.[14] As a result, he spent several decades training Samoans about the country's flora and its uses.[15] Whistler not only sought to protect Samoa's forests through his programs, but also resurrect some of Samoa's lost cultural and practical uses for its native plant life.[16]

Whistler authored more than a dozen books on the botany and ethnobotany of the Pacific Islands, including _Rainforest Trees of Samoa_, _Polynesian Herbal Medicine_, and _Plants of the Canoe People: An Ethnobotanical Voyage through Polynesia_, which focused on the plants utilized by Polynesian voyagers.[17]

Death

Whistler was already showing symptoms of COVID-19 in March, 2020.[18] He sought treatment at a Hawaiian urgent care facility, but was not tested for coronavirus, despite his symptoms.[19] He tested positive for COVID-19 on March 8 and was placed on life support on March 10th, but his condition continued to deteriorate and he died at Honolulu's Kaiser Moanalua Hospital in on April 2 at the age of 75.[20][21] His death was Hawaii's third fatality related to the COVID-19 pandemic.[22] At the time of his death, Whistler had nearly completed another book called _Flora of Samoa_, which he had worked on for most of his professional life. The book was meant to be a definitive guide to Samoa's native plants.[23]

In a sun-drenched, sticky, tourist infected corner of Orlando, FL rests a Whole Foods Market. It was strategically planted within a few miles of Disney property in the hope we'd see our share of the tourist economy.

That's where I work as a customer service supervisor.

It's a very transient place. The tourists, our team members, upper management, everyone is always arriving or departing. We have a permenent Uber lane. There are little grab and go shampoos and shaving creams at every register. A whole section of our store is dedicated to hotel-related items. We even sell sandwiches in adorable, airplane shaped boxes. Every customer you meet is heading home soon and all the employees will tell you they're "forming an exit plan". You'll work with a guy for 6 months and one day he's vanished. The next thing you hear is a Facebook notification - "Loading up the car for Portland, wish me luck Orlando!"

As a result it can be easy to stop concerning yourself with the everyday details of those around you, even co-workers you see ten or twenty times a day. No one sticks around here.

Case in point, this Asian chick whose been working behind the Juice Bar for somewhere between 4 months to a year, I can never tell. It just so happens most of my day is spent in a customer service booth directly across from this Bar. At that distance, maybe 50 feet, we'd exchange simple gestures - a glance here or nod there. I can tell you very little about her. She's maybe 5'3 with Dark Brown, chin length hair pinned up into a crayola orange beanie and covered neck to knees in an over-sized, white chefs coat. That's about it. One of the few other things I'd noticed was a handwritten name tag reading, "Bok Choy" in black permenent marker.

I'll mention that this isn't so strange a thing to see on a name tag at Whole Foods Market. We have a store manager whom we regard as "Juice" because he's a 6'9 hipster with a bright orange Slayer beard. On any given day his name tag might say "Juice", "The Juice" or "Juiced". There's also a few hippies from the holistic team who renamed themselves after their astrological sign. A person's name tag can say literally anything here.

This day I decided to order a Juice, which is unusual for me. Approaching the register, I say, a bit loudly, "Hey, Bok Choy, what's up?".

A cold stare came back in my direction.

"My name is Melanie. Seriously, Jason? I'm wearing a name tag and everything."

I put a stupid look on my face and pointed at her chest. As I'm dropping my finger arrogantly towards the tag it finally hits me - the tag says "Favorite Vegetable". Not name, but "Favorite Vegetable". The real one, it turns out, was attached to her beanie.

Instead of stopping here, as would be prudent, I did as I often do and talked myself into a worse place.

"But you can see where that's confusing for me, right Melanie? I'm over there, you're over here. That's a name tag from 50 feet away. I have basically no vantage point on your beanie. Your head is obstructed by the wheatgrass grinder."

Now she starts laying on the sarcasm.

"But it says Bok Choy AND Favorite Vegetable, dude." The font is nearly the same size on both."

"But it's a name tag in the spot where normal people pin name tags! I'm not responsible for checking whether it, just this once, also says Favorite Vegetable."

"It's green", she says. "The name tag is green and has a little cauliflower head sticking out of the top of it. Did you also not notice those two things?"

"I was thinking the Produce team just got cool, custom ones. Listen, people get nick names around here, ya know?"

"And so you thought they nicknamed the new Asian girl Bok Choy and put it on her name tag?"

I ordered my juice. It was a Bombay Sunrise - OJ, Turmeric and Ginger. Needless to say, She took a few "liberties" with the recipe and I nearly spit fire.

title: [HM] Bok Choy

question: What does the story say about the narrator's relationship with Melanie?

answer: While the narrator is accustomed to thinking of him as Jason, Melanie isn't a likely name for his co-worker. He calls her Bok Choy and performs the common sin of talking himself into trouble. Carly responds that this indicates that Jason was “seriously considering her a vegetable” and she gets angry. The narrator talks to defend himself, which could be a prelude to couples therapy. The situation, as it is, brings them both closer and warrants a romantic development.

critique: The response contains inaccurate information.

critique: The response inaccurately mentions that Melanie responds that the narrator was "seriously considering her a vegetable". However, Melanie was not upset about the name he called her.

critique: Melanie and Jason have a heated argument, he is completely insufferable and a blowhard, and they damage the relationship.

text: The response is incorrect. Jason (the narrator) and Melanie don't have a relationship other than being workmates and the occasional glance or nod here and there.

question: What does the story say about Melanie's home country?

answer: No answer

critique: There is no information on Melanie's home country.

UPDATE (JULY 17, 2018): Peach & Lily's in-house skin-care collection has been live on peachandlily.com for less than 24 hours, and one of the five new products has already sold out — and it did so within mere _minutes_ of the launch.

Anyone looking to purchase the Super Reboot Resurfacing Mask right now will be greeted with a purple "This item is sold out! Notify me when available" button where the peach "Add to bag" button briefly was. According to the Peach & Lily team, what made so many people jump at the chance to buy it is that it's so good at "de-gunking" skin through gentle resurfacing. In fact, Peach & Lily founder Alicia Yoon, who suffers from eczema, says this is the first chemical peel gentle enough for her to use.

And it probably didn't hurt that Peach & Lily's Instagram account posted a video right before the launch featuring a video of the mask gleaming in its jar. It's truly hypnotizing.

If you've got your heart set on snagging a Super Reboot Resurfacing Mask for yourself, don't worry — Peach & Lily is working on getting it back in stock, and you can be one of the first to know of its triumphant return by clicking on the aforementioned "notify me" button.

UPDATE (JULY 16, 2018): After nearly two months, the wait is finally over: Peach & Lily's in-house skin-care collection, announced in late May, makes its official debut today. And while it may be small, the demand for the line is expected to be mighty, considering two of the products already flew off virtual, pre-sale shelves.

Those two already-popular products are collection's hero formula, Glass Skin Refining Serum, and the Original Glow Sheet Mask, which sold out on both peachandlily.com and QVC.

Peach & Lily is also launching the Super Reboot Resurfacing Mask, a wash-off formula that gently exfoliates; Matcha Pudding Antioxidant Cream, a free-radical-fighting moisturizer, and Pure Beam Luxe Oil, which provides fatty acids and antioxidants to reinforce skin's protective barrier. Each product in the collection averages about $40, except for the Original Glow Sheet Mask, which is available individually for $6 and in a set of 20 for $79.

In addition to its promise of effectiveness, the Peach & Lily skin-care collection has also sworn off many of the ingredients that turn shoppers off, including animal fats, detergents, mineral oil, parabens, petrolatum, phthalates, and synthetic fragrances.

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

_This post originally appeared on May 24, 2018:_

Korean beauty retailer Peach & Lily has established itself as one of the must-shop websites for emerging and beloved K-beauty brands like Saturday Skin, Femmue, and Mizon. With the exception of its CVS collaboration, Peach Slices, however, the company hadn't ventured into making its own products. Until now, that is.

The brand posted three simple videos to Instagram announcing the arrival of Peach & Lily's very own skin-care collection, starting with a serum. "🎉✨WE’RE OVER THE MOON EXCITED✨🎉 Introducing...Peach & Lily skincare! ✨🎉" the caption of the first video reads. "We’ve been quietly developing this dreamy line for you for two years. We set out to create a skincare line that gives you everything: proven results, clean and safe formulas, fresh ingredients, decadent textures. Results, delight and safety. 💫 We launched our site seven years ago without fanfare or a big party, instead we launched with the most important thing in focus: connecting with you. It only felt right to share about this launch — our most passionate endeavor yet at Peach & Lily - the same way we did on day one. An earnest, pared-down message that keeps you in the focal point, always."

The caption goes on to say that the full collection will launch in the summer, but the second video's caption announced a pre-sale for the very first product, called Glass Skin Refining Serum. "A breakthrough formula that delivers translucent, poreless, radiant, refined skin. That elusive glass skin is now yours." Well, it's not yours _yet_. The $39 serum — called a "revolutionary cocktail of peach extract, niacinamide, East Asian mountain yam, madecassoside, peptides, and hyaluronic acid" in its description — is already sold out. However, you do have the option of being notified when orders are being taken again.

A third video encourages fans to follow Peach & Lily founder Alicia Yoon for a behind-the-scenes look at product development and insight into how the collection started. She shares some of those details on peachandlily.com, explaining her research began two years ago when her sister told her she was pregnant.

question: What does the text say about the Super Reboot Resurfacing Mask?

answer: The Super Reboot Resurfacing Mask is one of the five new products in Peach & Lily's in-house skin-care collection. It's a chemical peel that gently exfoliates, and it's the first chemical peel that founder Alicia Yoon can use because it's gentle enough for her eczema.

“Where were you last night?” Max peered over my Economics textbook. He had a look of anticipation, as if he was waiting for some pain relieving gossip.

“I was home,” I responded innocently before he rolled his eyes at me. “Now, don’t bother me, I’m trying to focus.” Although normally I would use anything to distract me from school, I wasn’t about to involve Max in last night’s mess.

“Are you expecting me to believe you weren’t at Nina’s party?” He raised his eyebrows at me. I didn’t know what I was expecting. Frankly, no expectation in the world would have prepared me well enough. But I wanted to be there for Nina like she had for me. Perhaps I couldn’t fix her parent’s divorce, but I could at least attend her house party. Especially after her break up with Todd, the leather jacket douche that called her “babe” so much I would wonder if he knew her real name.

“I promise you’ll have a great time,” Nina had told me. And at first, I really did. There is something comforting about the stagnant smell of beer penetrating every fiber of clothing and hair follicle. Something nostalgic about repetitive rap songs preaching about the wonders of big asses.

Everything seemed normal at first. The music was pounding loudly and the dim lights carried shadows across the cramped living room. I could feel the air thickening.

Minutes before terror, I was standing unnoticed next to a group of girls I recognized.

“Someone told me her dad was abusive,” I heard one say with wide eyes.

“Yeah, apparently the neighbors called the cops on them,” another responded.

“Well, I wouldn’t point fingers just yet. Nina’s mom’s a bitch. Maybe she deserved it,” a brunette shrugged and took a sip of her drink right before our eyes met. Her face flared red as she realized her words had been overhead. I clenched my fists in rage.

“How about you all mind your own–”. My response was cut short by a piercing scream. I quickly stood up in alert. The room became still. The music stopped and those still standing looked at one another with puzzled looks. The source was nowhere to be seen. It came again, this time along with a cry. I recognized Nina immediately. I pushed my way across the living room and ran up the stairs before barging into Nina’s bedroom.

I noticed him first. His leather jacket shimmered in the moonlight as he stood tall and angry. A millisecond later, I spotted Nina on the floor. Hands covering her face in defense. The lack of light in the room didn’t stop the fierceness of her blood as it dripped down her temple and into her hair.

I stood still. My brain called in fear but my body made no response. Not even when Todd walked passed me, into the hallway and shut the door behind him.

Nina remained on the floor. She held herself and rocked back and forth, letting silent cries out into the thick air.

“Don’t tell anyone.” She whispered.

&#x200B;

&#x200B;

“Hello?” Max snapped at me. “Are you going to tell me or not?” I stared at him blankly as the vivid flashbacks flew through my head. My heart stung in bitterness as I recognized that all I wanted to do was say it. To write it out in sharpie on all student lockers.

Nina’s bloody face burned in my head. “There’s nothing to tell.”

title: [RF] Last Night Leftovers

question: What does the passage say about Todd?

answer: Todd is Nina's ex-boyfriend. After months of immersing himself in his relationship with Nina, he left her the day before he landed her a nice, solid punch to the face.

critique: The response is inaccurate. Todd did not punch Nina.

critique: Todd is not Nina's ex-boyfriend. He is her ex-boyfriend.

critique: Heroine Nina's full name, Todd's punching reflex, or the fact that he left Nina prior to the ex would be better mentions.

text: 'After months of immersing himself in his relationship with Nina, he left her the day before he landed her a nice, ' is not stated.

question: What does the passage say about Nina's parents?

answer: Nina was having a party after her parents' divorce. Nina's father is abusive and he got in a fight with the police once.

critique: Nina's father is never mentioned as abusive.

critique: The response inaccurately mentions that Nina's father got in a fight with the police.

critique: This is not likely and should be omitted.

critique: The response contains inaccurate information.

question: What does the passage say about domestic abuse?

answer: No answer

critique: The answer should mention the gossip about Nina's family.

critique: The response misses to mention that the story mentions domestic abuse.

question: What does the passage say about prom?

answer: No answer

critique: There is no mention of prom in the text.

Excerpt from found journal at site 225-A9.

Author identified as only Doctor S. PHD.

Dated March 14th 2035

Noted location: "Old World," State-run Hospital VA-02295 "St. Francine's"

...
  As I read the chart I noticed the results of the State mandated Gen-PreF tests. It reported that my next patient couple was decidedly more comfortable with a "male" doctor. I was disappointed. I thought about how I would have to announce myself as "Mystr S., PHD." It just didn't roll of the tongue as well as "Miss" did, or even the more simple "Dr. S." and leave my gender neutral. I wasn't worried about passing off as a man though, I had just visited the barb-ilist. The thym that worked on me did a wonderful job, not too long, not too short. The perfect blend of "long-haired man" or "not too short-haired woman." My other traits have all been sculpted to be "visual kei." I still, to this day, swear the hip shrinking pelvis shaving surgery was far more painful than my breast reduction, counter to the common claims of my peers. The State supplied hormone pills took care of everything else.

  When I stepped into the room I took a quick measure of the persons in front of me. The "male" was decidedly trying to be neutral, but his haggard complexion and signs of stubble on his face, gave me the impression of "him" more than anything. I allowed him the improper variance given the womyn in the room. "She" was nervous, her eyes darted down from him to me as I walked in. She was several weeks pregnant, and starting to show.

  "Hello, Miss J. and Mystr K., my name is Docto- I mean Mystr S., PHD," I said, slipping.

  The man narrowed his eyes and looked me up and down, but kept his mouth shut. She was in a sitting position in the chair in the middle of the room, he was standing over her left shoulder, his hand on it.

  "I've been reading your chart, here... no family names?" I asked conversationally.

  The womyn looked up at him and squeezed his hand as he cringed, "I don't have a family."

  She looked back down to me and said, "I used to have a family name, but I went through a deerkin phase and had it legally changed. After I met K. here I changed it back to my given name but kept out my family name for hym." I noticed the inflection when she said "hym." Keeping up appearances I assumed. It was well enough, because I did have the power to incite sanctions against them for not keeping to the rules of neutrality.

  "Ah, so J and K it is then. Not Myssus hmm? You aren't legal life partners yet?" I quizzed sitting down in the swivel chair provided for me.

  The man stood taller and said almost monotonously, "No, but we have cohabited for two and a half years now."

  This response was acceptable, since the State funded OCare that was paying for this visit only allowed them to be here if they met certain criteria. Marriage is no longer a legal coupling, one of the few concessions the retro-conservs won from the peace talks after The Gender Wars, but cohabitation for a period longer than two years was.

  What I found most interesting was their nervousness in using the State funded care. Nearly everyone did now, and since the demand was so low, non-funded health care was pretty cheap. Heck, with nearly everything provided to me at my andro housing barracks, my stipend of 'fun' expenditures could easily afford the cost of a legally enforced gender checkup during pregnancy. Not that I would ever get pregnant, disgusting. Genetic tailoring and the use of synthetic wombs is such a cleaner option.

  "Very good. Let's take a look at your fetus shall we then?" I said as I down the chart, grabbed some latex gloves from the counter, wheeled closer, and pulled the ultrasound caddy closer.

  Everything checked out okay, with one exception. "Healthy, but sorry, it's a boy. As you know our current sector has too many male children. When would you like to schedule the termination, this afternoon, or sometime later this week?"

  The female unit started to cry.

title: [SP] Sorry, it's a boy.

question: What does the text say about the patient's ultrasound?

answer: The doctor (Mystr in this case) prepares with latex gloves and an ultrasound caddy. The doctor asks the couple when do they want to schedule their abortion. The ultrasound scan shows that the fetus is healthy but it's a male. The couple is sad about this.

critique: The answer should mention that the couple is sad about the gender of the fetus.

critique: The doctor explains that the couple's sector has too much male children, but there's no mention of abortion

critique: A better title for the question could be: what does the text say about the patient's ultrasound

critique: The answer does not mention the gender of the fetus.

critique: The answer should mention that the couple is sad because they have to terminate the pregnancy.

critique: The couple is not sad about the gender of the fetus.

critique: It is not stated that the doctor would perform an abortion.

critique: The doctor asks the couple if they want to schedule their abortion and the couple is sad. This can be combined.

critique: The couple does not mention that they are sad about the gender of the fetus.

critique: "sad" is incorrect. "The female unit started to cry." is all the text say.

critique: It is not stated that the couple is sad about the fetus being a boy.

critique: The couple is delighted that it's a boy.

critique: The gender of the fetus is not important, but the scan is accurate.

critique: The answer should mention that the couple is upset about the gender of the fetus.

critique: The answer should mention that the couple is upset about the fact that the fetus is a boy.

text: The last two sentences of the answer should come after the first sentence.

category: coherence

refinement: The doctor (Mystr in this case) prepares with latex gloves and an ultrasound caddy. The doctor asks the couple when do they want to schedule their abortion. The ultrasound scan shows that the fetus is healthy but it's a male. The couple is sad about this.

I had to do it. Someone had to do it.

I keep telling myself that.

I should introduce myself. I am former General Jack Kerrington, Former Joint Chief Of Staff of the U.S. Armed Forces. Officially I am now global terrorist #1 and have been for the last 6 months.

It's all a lie. But it's all over now.

By 2047 the world was already beginning to crumble. The Pentagon Knew it, the Russians knew it, the Chinese, everyone who's anyone. NATO, the U.N., all of those poor sad motherfuckers.

Someone has to take the blame. I volunteered.

God I need a drink. Two weeks from now I am to be apprehended and publicly executed for my crimes.

Someone has to take responsibility for this, might as well be me.

I've already got so much blood on my hands, what's another couple of billion?

They were all going to die anyways.

Right?

Average global temperature is over 4.6 degrees higher than it was in 2000. The year I was born. The new Millennium. You know I've got a video of Time Square in NY right as the ball dropped. I've been watching it a lot lately.

You know that day, around the world, there were no major incidences of conflict or war? Quite possibly for the first time in history.

    The early stages are characterized by influenza-like symptoms: general malaise, fever with chills,
    arthralgia and myalgia, and chest pain.

**9**

People look so happy, so hopeful. The Internet had practically just been invented as far as the average person was concerned.

    Nausea is accompanied by abdominal pain, anorexia, diarrhea, and vomiting.
    Respiratory tract involvement is characterized by pharyngitis with sore throat,
    cough, dyspnea, and hiccups.

Now, all the net has carried the last few years is news of another war, another famine. Another city under martial law.

    The central nervous system is affected as judged by the development of severe headaches,
    agitation, confusion, fatigue, depression, seizures, and sometimes coma.

**7**

Last decade, India and Pakistan half wiped each other off the map. We thought maybe that might be the end of this. The whole world blinked. Another day of world peace, weeks in fact, then months.

    Cutaneous presentation may include: maculopapular rash, petechiae, purpura, ecchymoses,
    and hematomas (especially around needle injection sites).

**6**

But you can't exactly ask people to starve can you? You can't ask them to stop filling up their car, to stop making things. Certainly not weapons. Everyone needs weapons now.

    Development of hemorrhagic symptoms is generally indicative of a negative prognosis.
    However, contrary to popular belief, hemorrhage does not lead to hypovolemia
    and is not the cause of death (total blood loss is low except during labor).

We all agreed this was the only solution. I wonder how many heads of state will commit suicide in the coming months. Me? I'm a free man. I already know my fate.

    Instead, death occurs due to multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS)
    due to fluid redistribution, hypotension, disseminated intravascular coagulation,
    and focal tissue necroses.

Water began to run out first, even before Iowa became a desert. We did everything right you know? Got off coal, got off oil, solar panels everywhere. Wind farms. All that pointless shit.

    The mean incubation period, best calculated currently for EVD outbreaks due to EBOV infection,
    is 12.7 days (standard deviation = 4.3 days), but can be as long as 25 days.

So it came down to this: No one was going to stop first. Before India...9.8 billion people. 9.8 billion mouths to feed. Still 7.6 billion left. Even after the population decline of the last decade.

    ...has been confirmed to be transmitted through body fluids.
    Transmission through oral exposure and through conjunctiva exposure is likely
    and has been confirmed in non-human primates.

**Prognosis:** Average global temperature exceeds 6.5 Degree's Celsius within 3 decades. The Continental U.S., Europe, China, Russia. Mostly desert. Mortality rate within 6 decades: 95%. Within a century: 99.9%.

    Filoviruses are not naturally transmitted by aerosol. They are, however, highly infectious as breathable
    0.8–1.2 micrometre droplets in laboratory conditions; because of this potential route of infection,
    these viruses have been classified as Category A biological weapons.

**1.**

We made it better. Much better.

**Prognosis:** 70% global mortality rate, mean time to this number: 6 months.

**Prognosis:** Percent chance of survival of the remaining 30%: 54%. Mean time to failure: 3 decades.

Happy New Year.

question: What does the story say about how the world changed from 2000 to 2047?

answer: The world was already beginning to crumble by 2047. The Pentagon knew it, the Russians knew it, the Chinese, everyone who's anyone. Average global temperature is over 4.6 degrees higher than it was in 2000. The new Millennium. The early stages are characterized by influenza-like symptoms. The central nervous system is affected as judged by the development of severe headaches, agitation, confusion, fatigue, depression, seizures, and sometimes coma.

critique: The answer should mention that India and Pakistan almost wiped each other off the map.

critique: The answer should mention the wars and famines.

JOHN KENNEDY (born 1 June 1965) is a British DJ and radio presenter and podcast host, best known for his longstanding role as the host of the music show _X-Posure_ on Radio X and for the music podcast _Tape Notes_.[1]

Kennedy is cited as being the first to give radio play to numerous artists including Adele, The xx, Razorlight, Kate Nash, The Ting Tings, The Futureheads, Dan le Sac Vs Scroobius Pip and Mumford & Sons.[2]

Career

Radio

Kennedy initially worked as a disc jockey regularly holding club nights while studying at University in Norwich. Following this, he undertook a media course run by Community Service Volunteers in South East London where he was given the opportunity to begin broadcasting a music show from Radio Thamesmead (now RTM.FM). His show ‘Sharp As A Needle’ was named after the Barmy Army track of the same name was broadcast weekly across London and Kent.[3]

In 1991, Kennedy met Sammy Jacobs, a former pirate broadcaster and radio controller at Reading and Leeds FestivalsReading Festival, who had just obtained a restricted service license to operate XFM radio station. After taking on a slot within the Reading Festival Radio Presenter Team, Kennedy was hired by Jacobs for his new channel, XFM (now Radio X).

Radio X gained its FM licence and became full time on 1 September 1997 with Kennedy's first broadcast following in 1999. Kennedy is the only member of the current presenting team who has been with the station continuously throughout its years and hosts its longest-running specialist show.

X-Posure

Kennedy is the presenter of the new music show _X-Posure_ on Radio X, currently broadcasting on Friday and Saturday nights from 11pm to 2pm.[4] The show introduces music from up-and-coming artists primarily, although not exclusively, from alternative and indie styles, and regularly includes live sessions and interviews.

Over the years the show has featured a huge range of artists and Kennedy has been credited with discovering countless musicians who have gone on to find success, including the likes of Adele, The xx, Razorlight, Kate Nash, The Ting Tings, The Futureheads, Dan Le Sac Vs Scroobius Pip and Mumford & Sons.[5] The _Independent_ described the show as one of the “most eclectic...on British radio”.[6]

Compere

As well as filling sixteen hours of airtime with new music each week, Kennedy supports new talent with regular X-Posure music nights across London, often taking place at Ben Lovett’s (Mumford and Sons) venue Omera. The nights showcase artists in the same vein as his radio show.

In 2016, Kennedy hosted and curated the X-Posure All Dayer, an eight-hour event featuring up to ten up and coming bands at The Camden Barfly in North West London.[7] To celebrate 20 years of _X-Posure_ Kennedy hosted another all-day gig, the X-Posure Summer Party. The event made use of Flat Iron Square’s three on-site venues, The Omera, The Outdoor Garden Stage and Apres, and featured artists including Mystery Jets, Temples, Babeheaven and APRE as well as DJ sets from Kennedy as well as fellow Radio X presenter Jack Wood.[8]

From 2009 to 2016 Kennedy compered the Quarry Stage and the Laurel Lounge at In The Woods Festival in Kent, a festival promoting the discovery of artists. Since 2017 Kennedy has hosted the latest output from In The Woods, the music production podcast Tape Notes.[9][10]

Podcasts

Kennedy is the host of the podcast Tape Notes, a music production podcast in which artists are reunited with producers to discuss their work together in the studio. Their conversations delve into every stage of the creative process, from the first spark of a song idea, through decisions on instrumentation and style, to finessing the final product. The conversations also feature early demo versions and stems from the original recording sessions.[11] The range of artists featured on Tape Notes includes the likes of Alt-J, The 1975, London Grammar and Kate Tempest as well as producers Dan Carey, Jim Abbiss, Simone Felice and Charlie Andrew.[12]

Among these, Kennedy has hosted two live episodes of Tape Notes, one at Latitude Festival with the alternative band Easy Life and producer Rob Milton, as well as an event at Miloco Studios with the duo Ibeyi and producer Richard Russell in celebration of National Album Day.[13]

Journalism

Towards the start of his career, Kennedy wrote a regular column for British magazine _Dazed & Confused_[14] (now _Dazed_)

Awards

Kennedy was awarded the _Time Out_ Live Award 2005/06 for his live DJ performances and gig curations as part of various X-Posure events.

In 2012, he was presented with the XFM Inspiration Award by Mumford & Sons as part of the radio station’s Winter Wonderland event. Before John was presented with the award video messages from artists including Elbow, Paul Weller and The Maccabees were shown.[15]

In 2016 Kennedy became the first-ever recipient of the Arqiva Commercial Radio Music Champion Award in recognition for his dedication to new and independent artists, dating back to the days of Radio X's predecessor XFM in the 1990s.[16]

Kennedy has been heavily involved with the Mercury Prize, the annual music prize awarded for the best album released in the United Kingdom, and has been a regular member of the judging panel since 2009.[17]

Amanda was driving to her hometown. It has been months of hectic work, and she was finally happy to go home and relax. As she drove down the familiar route, her mind went on a journey of its own – down the memory lane. All her childhood years, all the events that made her the woman she was today, flashed before her eyes.

As she reveled in the memories, the flashing lights and wailing sirens pulled her from dreamland back into reality.

“What the hell” she spoke to herself. “I wasn’t speeding”

She was ready to give the officer a piece of her mind, when she realized that the car wasn’t after her. It was probably transported a convict to the prison, just a few miles down the road. She remembered how that prison was a curse on her hometown. Prisoners escaped all the time and their closest target would be her town. She glared at the prison as she drove past it.

She turned on the radio to take her mind off things. Music always made her feel better. Just as she crossed a signpost that said she was five miles from her destination, she saw a guy sticking out his thumb. He was muscular, and dressed in formals. He looked like he was probably in his early thirties. Amanda stopped the car, and rolled down the window.

“Hello there! I’m Joseph. My car broke down, and I need a ride. Would you be so kind to give me a lift?”

“Sure Joseph, hop in. I’m Amanda, by the way.”

Amanda liked picking up hitchhikers. She was always happy to have them in her car.

“So Joseph, where are you headed?”

“Vacation. I have a cabin around here. Just a mile before River Heights. We’re vacationing there for the weekend”

“Who’s ‘we’?” Amanda was curious.

“Me, my wife, and our kids. We wanted to go somewhere peaceful, and where be--”

“--better than River Heights?” She finished his line for him. “I was born and raised here. Welcome to our town, Joseph”

“Oh. You’re a native. My mother was from River Heights, so the place is always special to me”

They continued exchanging stories, as the car approached a small path that broke off the highway.

“That’s the way to the cabin” Joseph said, sounding excited.

As they drove down the dark path, an unsettling feeling came over Amanda. But she kept driving, as the path suddenly ended in the middle of a forest.
“Umm... Joseph? Where’s the cabin you--” A sharp blow to her face stopped the sentence in half.
Joseph got out of the car, pulled Amanda out, and shoved her on the ground. She tried getting up, only to get hit again.

“You know Amanda” he said, ripping off her shirt. “Picking hitchhikers around a prison is a foolish thing to do. They might turn out to be a killer. Lucky for you, I’m merely a rapi--”

He froze, as he felt a cold intrusion in his chest. He looked down to see blood dripping down the slit between his ribs. Amanda shoved him off and stood over him, with her favourite knife covered in his blood.

“Speaking of foolish things, you should never get in a stranger’s car, especially a stranger who grew up around a prison”, she said with a maniacal smile in her face. “Like you said, they might turn out to be a killer”

Joseph gasped, as the cold knife proceeded to taste more of his blood. It was going to be a long night.

question: Judging from the passage, is it safe to say this was not Amanda's first time killing a person?

answer: It appears so.

critique: It is not stated that it is not her first time killing a person.

critique: "It appears so." - this is incorrect. The passage does not say.

critique: "It appears so." - seems universal enough that it could be any number of answers. Amanda killing another person would not mean there would be evidence of another kill. Needs to be more specific with what proves it was not Amanda's first time.

critique: This answer is not relevant to the question.

President Donald Trump’s meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday morning, in which Trump provided cover for Russia’s interference in the 2016 election, elicited some heated criticism from leading Republicans in Congress. This prompted an obvious question: Would Republicans put their money where their mouth is and actually use their power to punish Trump?

Well, House Speaker Paul Ryan was asked that question at Tuesday presser — and he made it clear the answer was no, at least as far as the GOP leadership was concerned.

Here’s the key exchange between Ryan and a reporter:

  RYAN: I understand the desire and the need to have good relations. That’s perfectly reasonable. But Russia is a menacing government that does not share our interests and does not share our values. And I think that should be made very, very clear.

  REPORTER: What could you do? You guys are a co-equal branch of government. What could you do to make sure he [Trump] doesn’t do something ...

  RYAN: Here’s what we can do, and here’s what we have already done — which is to put sanctions on Russia. ... We’d already put in place sanctions. If the [House] Foreign Affairs Committee or the Financial Service Committee — or the Senate Banking Committee — think that there are other sanctions that we have not yet put in place on Russia, I’m more than happy to consider those.

Note how weaselly Ryan’s answer is. The question wasn’t, “What are you doing to punish Russia?” It was, “How can you constrain Trump from cozying up even more to Putin?” That isn’t a problem that can be solved by new sanctions. It would require passing legislation that puts limits on the president’s power to change US policy on a whole host of foreign policy issues (like Ukraine or Syria), or block Trump from firing special counsel Robert Mueller and ending the Russia collusion probe.

But doing something like that would, of course, provoke a major fight with Trump. Ryan is so unwilling to do that he won’t even think about proposing such measures. Instead, he moves to the safer ground of hypothetical new Russia sanctions that may never actually emerge and that wouldn’t really constrain Trump from changing US policy on Russia.

This speaks to a vital point about the GOP’s “backlash” against the Putin meeting. Ultimately, congressional Republicans mostly care more about staying in Trump’s good graces — and avoiding a fight that could jeopardize their legislative agenda and anger the pro-Trump base before the upcoming midterm elections — than about the ways that Trump is taking a hammer to decades of US foreign policy on Russia and other issues.

Republicans in Congress simply place a higher value on party unity than on the foreign policy principles they claim to stand for. If they didn’t, Ryan would actually be talking about new laws to constrain Trump.

That isn’t a value judgment, or even necessarily a criticism. There’s a case, from the Republican point of view, for refusing to cross Trump even when he tramples on years of conservative orthodoxy.

But Ryan isn’t making that case. He, and the rest of the mainstream GOP, is trying desperately to pretend that you can be anti-Putin and pro-Trump. But Monday’s presser made it clear that’s impossible.

question: Why was Paul Ryan unwilling to partake in any measure to constrain Donald Trump?

answer: Because doing something like that would provoke a major fight with Trump. It would also jeopardize the GOP legislative agenda and anger the pro-Trump base before the upcoming midterm election.

critique: The answer should also mention Ryan's desire to stay in Trump's good graces.

critique: The answer could be phrased as a complete sentence.

critique: The answer does not mention that Ryan was more than happy to consider new sanctions on Russia.

(Title pending)

The parked looked rather desolate; the weather was oppressive. There weren't any children playing, no mother tending to their young; there was nothing captivating about it. However, I still remember how green the grass was, the laughter of the children, soccer moms walking their dogs, but mostly, I remember her. Her green eyes, her elegance, and the way her hips swayed to and fro when she walked. The way her long black hair would look when the wind picked up and the way I laughed whenever she dropped something.

Every day at 10 a.m., I would see her perched on the park bench reading a book or a magazine of some sort. She'd sit there for about an hour or two, and then she would leave without anyone turning their heads but mine. It was as if I was that creepy kid in your math class who'd always stare at you whenever you got up to sharpen your pencil. My eyes were locked onto her and disappointment would wash over me whenever I lost sight.

This routine continued for many months, and she hadn't noticed me for I had said not a single word. I was never going to, because I didn't want to ruin the perfect image I had of her. It was better to admire from afar. Better to be unseen than noticed I thought. But some nights I'd wish I said something to her, just one word like hi. Still I didn't. It was my fear of rejection and what is she thought I was weird or creepy? What if she noticed I stared at her? All of these questions running through my mind and I could've said something, but I didn't.

On those I walked back to my place to think. Once I got home, the pungent smell of cigarettes filled up my nostrils and for some odd reason, everything seemed pointless:  My life, my career as a writer, my love life, evens my cat's life. So, I just began to wallow in my self-pity until I fell asleep. It's better if I don't go tomorrow I thought to myself. I lacked the gumption to ever talk to her so why should I go? But that night I had a dream that she spoke to me - she sounded beautiful - and that's all I remember. I woke up and jumped out of bed, took a shower, and put on my best dress. Then, I continued to run to the park maybe the dream was a sign that she was going to be mine. I bumped into people. I might’ve bumped into an old lady, but I didn’t care.
After 20 minutes of people yelling at me and frantic running, I arrived at the park just after 10 a.m., and I saw her - she was the first person I noticed, but she wasn't alone.  She was with a man - most likely her husband - and two children. They all looked happy - no troubles in the world. It was a bittersweet moment because she looked so happy when I have always seen her look so forlorn. After standing there for two minutes, I walked away and at that moment, I felt my whole world fall apart - piece by piece.

On my walk home I wondered if there was any animosity brewing between them – maybe he cheated and she secretly hates him, or maybe they just look happy and they’re planning to get a divorce. An overwhelming sense of false hope came and went away when I knew all of it wasn’t true. She’ll be there tomorrow I thought. I know she will.

After that I never saw her again - she never sat on her bench or read a book or a magazine of some sort. I felt empty inside without the sight of her. And day after day I waited for her to come back. She never did and I came to terms with it. She wasn't coming I shouldn't worry if she ever does, but an emptiness still lingered in my heart. Then I had another dream that was edifying.

In my dream, I desperately looked for her, hoping to fill the emptiness in my heart, she had to be there. I finally noticed her, stunned by how beautiful she looked. She had a little black dress on with shoes that complemented it so very well. She had red lipstick on and she did her hair in a perfect little bun. Oh, how I wish you could've seen her. She looked beautiful. Then, she said, "it's only life, darling," then she leans in and plants a kiss on my lips. She was gone. I never dreamt of her again. She was out of my life; out of my head.

answer: No answer

critique: The narrator became a writer because they were a writer.

critique: The narrator does talk about her love life, which is the subject matter of a writer, even if the approach is just the stories of their love life.

text: The answer should state that the story does not say how the narrator became a writer.

question: What does the story say about the narrator's inability to approach and talk to the girl in the park?

answer: The narrator is unable to approach and talk to the girl in the park because he fears that she would think he is creepy or weird. He believes that he could ruin the perfect image he has of her by saying the wrong thing, so he prefers to admire her from afar, but some nights, he wishes he had said hi to her. The girl never shows up again.

critique: The narrator's inability to approach the girl is not because he fears she would think he is creepy or weird.

critique: The girl does show up again, but the narrator is unable to talk to her.

critique: The narrator's inability to approach the girl is not because he fears she would think he is creepy or weird. It is because he fears rejection.

critique: Reminds the audience of the second part of the answer, which could be omitted.

critique: The answer should mention that the girl shows up with a man and two kids.

critique: The girl never shows up again because she is married.

text:
The last sentence of the answer is unnecessary and should be omitted.
The answer omits that the narrator is also afraid of rejection as part of why he's unable to approach the girl in the park. It should mention this.

question: What does the story say about the possible messages hidden in the narrator's dreams about the girl?

answer: It is safe to wager that we're dealing with a winged delight here, so they must include night time, recurring, and enchanting with related themes such as meadow, magic, and growing flora.

critique: The response is not related to the question.

critique: The above answer is inaccurate. There isn't any information on the narrator's dream in the text and no answer can be given based on the input given in the text.

critique: There is no evidence in the text that the narrator is dreaming about a winged delight.

critique: There is no evidence to suggest that the girl is a winged delight.

critique: The response is nonsensical and doesn't answer the question.

question: What does the story say about the narrator?

answer: The narrator is a young man who has a love interest. He has been admiring her from afar for many months. He never said a word to her because he was afraid of rejection. He had a dream that she spoke to him, and he woke up and ran to the park. He bumped into people, and he saw her with her husband and children. He felt his whole world fall apart. After that, he never saw her again.

critique: It is omitted that the narrator is a writer.

critique: The narrator isn't described as a man, he's described as a kid.

critique: The final sentence of the response to the problem should be removed because it breaks the paragraph and makes it a confusing one to read.

text:
-The answer omits that after the narrator saw the girl with her family, he hoped she'd be at the park the next day, but she wasn't, and he never saw her again. It should mention this.
-It also omits that he dreamt of her again, and this time she kissed him and told him, "it's only life, darling." After that, he never saw her in his dreams again. It should state this.
-The answer omits that the narrator had a cat and was possibly a smoker. The model should consider adding this as well.

In a Thursday meeting to discuss school safety in the wake of the Parkland shooting, DONALD TRUMP suggested that movies and video games are influencing the youth’s perception of violence—and because of that, there should be a “rating system” in place, according to _The Hollywood Reporter_. He did not acknowledge the fact that explicit ratings systems for movies and video games have existed for decades.

“We have to look at the Internet, because a lot of bad things are happening to young kids and young minds, and their minds are being formed. And we have to do something about maybe what they’re seeing and how they’re seeing it,” Trump said. “And also video games. I’m hearing more and more people say the level of violence in video games is really shaping young people’s thoughts. And then you go the further step and that’s the movies. You see these movies, they’re so violent and yet a kid is able to see a movie if sex isn’t involved, but killing is involved. Maybe they have to put a rating system for that.”

Attorney General JEFF SESSIONS, Health and Human Services Secretary ALEX AZAR, Domestic Policy Council Director ANDREW BREMBERG, White House Chief of Staff JOHN KELLY, Secretary of Education BETSY DEVOS, and adviser KELLYANNE CONWAY also attended the meeting Thursday, in addition to local officials.

His puzzling call for a ratings system aside, Trump echoed a common debate that is often stirred up after mass school shootings, one that places the blame on pop culture. As _T.H.R._ points out, he’s far from the first politician to voice concerns over violent video games. In the past week, Republican Kentucky Governor MATT BEVIN and Republican Rhode Island Representative ROBERT “BOBBY” NARDOLILLO mentioned video games, with the latter proposing a tax on games rated “M” for mature or above. (Because, again: the games already get ratings based on their violent content.) Back in 2005, even HILLARY CLINTON spoke out against increasingly violent games, saying they are “stealing the innocence from our children” and should be monitored like “tobacco, alcohol, and pornography.”

The vocal students of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, where the Parkland shooting occurred, do not agree. Rather than blaming violent video games and films, they have instead made waves by calling out inactive politicians and the N.R.A. In a stirring Wednesday night town hall meeting hosted by CNN, the students—as well as parents, teachers, and other locals—took Senator MARCO RUBIO and N.R.A. spokeswoman DANA LOESCH to task, demanding gun-control reform. FRED GUTTENBERG, whose daughter Jamie was killed in the shooting, told Rubio outright that both his comments, as well as Trump’s comments, have been “pathetically weak.”

The grey sky wept heavy tears as an old man creeps along a smooth marble path, clutching his coat tightly with white knuckles to keep the frosted wind from stealing it. His head hung low against the rain, joints aching and lungs burning from the cold air, he walks on under the gaze of the silent marble guardians that stand all around.  They are placed in concentric ranks, evenly spaced and facing inwards, ever vigilant. There are thousands of them; tens of thousands even, covering an area miles wide. They are spaced evenly throughout their rings with a gap just wide enough for two people to slip in between with twice that distance between each layer. Small engraved platinum plaques rest at the base of each, meticulously produced and maintained.

At the center is an open space dominated by a large sphere which floats reverently above the ground. The Earth in all its glory, with its greens, blues, and browns – meticulously detailed. White clouds swirl and dance in real time in a never ending show that matches reality. If an observer looks closely, they see small ripples throughout the vast blue oceans as the moon engages in its eternal struggle with the tides. Yellow points of civilization dot the night side, ever struggling against the darkness which creeps steadily west. Giant black scars and craters run along its surface, an eternal reminder of events not long passed.

Once in awhile the old man sees another like himself, walking solemnly through this holiest of places. He places a hand onto the cold stone of a statue to steady himself as a strong gust smashes into his fragile frame. He pulls back his hand as if bitten, a numbness spreading throughout his soul. As he continues forward he looks into the faces around him even as the rain soaks his face. He doesn’t notice as it slips down his coat, and doesn’t care as the cold steals the feeling from his skin. He is beyond knowing discomfort. It has been many months since he felt.

Each face is alive with hand crafted detail down to the very pores of the shining stone skin. Their expressions are serious yet hopeful, sad but inspiring. They stand life sized and uniformed, medals and ribbons adorning their chests. Over each stone heart is a small pin with the shape and detail of the Earth. Had they not been made of lifeless stone, each likeness could be mistaken for a living being. They are the holiest relics of the human race, in a place that has become a religious site that has no priests and belongs to no church. They stand at attention in eternal watch over the planet in their midst and the pilgrims who walk through their home.

As the old man draws nearer to his destination he slows his all ready careful pace to the barest of movements. He has entered the space of his nightmares, the place he visits each night in sleep and each day in life. It is a familiar place, one he has navigated through hundreds of times in the few short months since its completion. It has become routine in a sense. His path is always the same; the same stones, the same steps, the same faces, the same emptiness.

He stops at each monument and memorizes every face before reading the plaque under it. Each one is long since engraved in his mind. They are his link to the past, to better times before.  Some of the names he knows from the old letters. They are his most cherished possessions and the only thing of value he has. He falls asleep each night with a stack of them in his bed, only escaping into the embrace of sleep when he is too tired to remain awake any longer.

After a time that may have been as long as hours or as short as minutes, the old man arrives at what has become both his hell and his salvation. It is a statue of a young woman, so perfectly detailed that the sight of it tears through his soul. He stares at her face and struggles to look away. The plaque at her feet tells only the barest of stories; that she was an officer; that she served all of humanity; that she died protecting her home. That she will be forever remembered. She has a face the old man is intimately familiar with. Her name is the same as his.

He remembers how it all started. How smart and happy and full of life she was. How she glowed and seemed to brighten a room just by being present. How he always pushed her to strive for more, to live up to her full potential. How he had wanted a better life for her than he had ever had for himself. How she had applied on an off chance and been accepted into the program, and how she had gone with his blessing and his encouragement. How she had written every day after she left, and how utterly proud he was. How she was his only child.

He remembers too how it all ended. How the Earth had been decimated. How she had been called up. He watched the live video as it all unfolded, remembers how three billion voices screamed as one when they were victorious. He remembers how none of those thousands of Earth’s children who had left ever came back. He remembers the guilt and the pain so heavy it crushed the air from his lungs.

Amidst the howling wind, he trembles violently and falls to his knees. The rain washes the tears from his face as he sobs uncontrollably. The old man curls up at the feet of his life and waits to die.

title: Pilgrim

question: Summarise the theme of death in paragraphs 7 and 8?

answer: The old man is overcome with emotion as he thinks of his daughter and the fact that she never came back from her mission to fight for the earth. He is overcome with guilt and pain as he thinks of how she died, and how it all unfolded on live video. He curls up at the feet of his life and waits to die.

critique: The response is missing the part where the old man is overcome with emotion as he thinks of his daughter and the fact that she never came back from her mission to fight for the earth.

critique: The response misses to mention that the old man is overcome with emotion as he thinks of his daughter and the fact that she never came back from her mission to fight for the earth.

critique: The response misses to mention that the old man is overcome with emotion as he thinks of his daughter and the fact that she never came back from her mission to fight for the earth.

critique: The theme of death isn't about the old man's emotions getting the better of him but how millions of people and the Earth itself were destroyed in an ancient cataclysm.

critique: The response is missing the part where the old man is overcome with emotion.

critique: The response does not fully answer the question. It is important to understand that the theme of death is represented by the statues that the old man visits.

This article includes a list of commercial recordings of the motets of Johann Sebastian Bach. Bach motets have often been recorded as a set (typically comprising the six motets catalogued as BWV225-230). However, other motets are attributed to Bach and there is some doubt about the authorship of _Lobet den Herrn, alle Heiden_, BWV 230, one of the “six”.

A single CD has the capacity to contain the set of six motets plus some other works. For example, Maasaki Suzuki's 2009 recording with the Bach Collegium Japan on BIS includes _O Jesu Christ, meins Lebens Licht_, BWV 118 (which at one time was categorised as a cantata) and _Ich lasse dich nicht_, BWV Anh. 159 (the authorship of which has been disputed).[1] The motets chosen for a particular recording project can reflect the way the balance of opinion changes regarding the status of particular work: given Bach's status as one of the great composers, a firm attribution to him is likely to result in more interest in recording the piece in question. For example, was not included by John Eliot Gardiner and the Monteverdi Choir in their first set recorded in 1980. However, they included it in their 2011 recording,[2] by which time scholarly opinion had re-assessed the work.

Recordings have also been made of the less securely attributed and even spurious motets. For example, Wolfgang Helbich recorded _The Apocryphal Bach Motets_, sung by the Alsfelder Vokalensemble, in 1993 (released in 1994, re-issued 2014).[3][4]

Types of choirs

Choirs with one voice per part (OVPP) are used in some historically informed performances of Bach. However, OVPP recordings of the motets are in the minority. Exceptions include the Hilliard Ensemble's second set,[5] and Konrad Junghänel with the group Cantus Cölln.[6] Philippe Herreweghe's second set uses OVPP for some motets, for example _Jesus meine Freude_, and not others.[7]

At least some of the motets would have been first performed by singers from Leipzig's Thomanerchor, which comprises boys and young men. This choir has recorded the motets (initially under Günther Ramin in the 1950s),[8] as have other choirs with boys' voices such as the Choir of New College, Oxford.[9]

Instrumental accompaniment

Music directors need to make choices about the instrumental accompaniment, if any, to be used. There are three possible approaches:

-   _a cappella_, that is, without an accompaniment
-   instruments doubling the vocal lines, something which is described as playing _colla parte_
-   Basso continuo, or just an organ accompaniment, to provide some instrumental support for the singers

Surviving sources do not make it clear what Bach's approach was to the accompaniment of most of these pieces. In the case of _Der Geist hilft unser Schwachheit auf_, BWV 226 orchestral parts are extant, indicating that choir I was doubled by strings and choir II by reeds (two oboes, taille and bassoon). There is also a basso continuo provided (separate violone and organ parts) which underlies both choirs.[10] An accompaniment is also specified for _Lobet den Herrn_.[11]

La Petite Bande and Bach Collegium Japan, for example, use the orchestration of _Der Geist hilft unser Schwachheit auf_ for the other pieces for double choir. However, _a capella_ performance is long-established tradition,[12] which is also reflected in recordings. The Hilliard Ensemble's OVPP version is mainly _a capella_. They omit the instrumental parts of _Der Geist hilft unser Schwachheit auf_, but sing _Lobet den Herrn_ to organ accompaniment.[13]

The recordings with continuo accompaniment include The Sixteen's version (the instruments are cello, violone, theorbo, organ) and the second recording by the Monteverdi Choir (cello, double bass, bassoon and organ).[14]

History

The first of the motets to be recorded was _Jesu meine Freude_ in 1927. This version was sung in English.[15]

Awards

In 2010, Suzuki and his ensemble were given a French award (Diapason d’Or de l’Année) and a German award (Preis der deutschen Schallplattenkritik) for their recording of Bach motets on BIS.

John Eliot Gardiner, who has won more Gramophone Awards than any other living artist, received one for his second recording of the motets with the Monteverdi Choir on SDG. It was one of the 2013 awards, the category being “Baroque Vocal”.

Grete Pedersen with the Norwegian choir Det Norske Solistkor won a Diapason d'Or in 2018 for their recording of the motets on BIS.

Discography

The intention has been to feature versions which are still available. The year given is that of recording. In the case of pre-1980s recordings, the date of reissue on CD can be significantly later than the original recording.

THE THIRD ARM OF KILIMANJARO

(This concept was originally developed in detail by Marshall T. Savage in his book, "The Millennial Project". By no means am I claiming his works as my own. I respect his creation and wanted to incorporate this part of it into my ongoing tale.)

A public works project had begun in Tanzania on Mt. Kilimanjaro. To the press it had been dubbed a water and energy reclamation experiment, and to the water impoverished nations of Africa they didn't question it too loudly. Why question something that would bring thousands of jobs and clean water to the stricken center of the continent, and let's not forget millions, (perhaps billions if you could really dig into the books and ferret out all the nickels and dimes) of dollars of industry? On the surface, the construct did exactly what it said. There were no lies told. The engineers had built vast sluices to harness and channel the melt from the heavy snows that had been steadily increasing at the peak of the volcano. "This increase in snowfall was an effect of the changing climate brought about by human influence on global temperatures", a few interest groups were shouting at the top of their lungs, "and we should be devoting energies to stem the changes and not just blindly take advantage of them!" They shouted, but no one was listening. Besides, the extra snowfall handled and distributed by what became known as the Kilimanjaro Resource Reclamation Project jointly managed by the central African countries, the US, and after a fashion, the UK, revitalized one of the most impoverished areas on Earth.

The three gargantuan sluices were evenly distributed around the circumference on the mountain's even-sloped rise, and from there each of the three bases branched out to smaller and smaller distribution channels like tree roots, (but moving water in the opposite direction) to the surrounding areas. Using the support pylons for the sluices as foundations, massive turbines were constructed creating wind farms, some classic propeller driven, a few using a new air-compressed turbine technology. With these farms, vast amounts of energy was produced and distributed along the water pipelines. With one well engineered stroke, the project cured much of the strife in Africa bringing water, energy, jobs, and outside interest to the nations. That outside interest being tourism of course, the universal income maker. With the violent rebellions dying down, and much of the varied countries slowly but surely working their way through peace talks and economic summits, the central African countries became a new and fresh tourist destination, bringing even more money to the table.

It was quite a generous act from the First World, again, on the surface. But, does it really matter after that? With all of the good the project had brought to millions of people, did the underlying reasons detract from the gesture? Much of the grand gestures in history had one hand giving and the other taking, and sometimes the price of what was taken was monumental and horrific. From where I sit here in the Salt Flats, I wonder.

You see, two of the sluices were just that: water collectors. They were labeled the  Kilimanjaro First and Second Arms respectively, or K1A and K2A. The third, which happened to be built directly parallel to the equator, was much larger than the other two, (and had an exponentially larger amount of security than the other two), housed a secret. There was indeed a water reclamation facility built there, (there were no overt lies spoken, remember), it just had one more pathway built into it that was never meant to be touched by water,
And just a small fraction of the energy created by the wind farms were diverted to this facility to power it. Knowing that the facility would eventually have to be revealed, the right amount of money had been exchanged to the right hands, (certain heads of the African nations, and as always, the press) to keep the project quiet, but be a loud and positive supporter when the time came for the unveiling.

Housed under this third arm was a thirty mile long set of rails. There was a subtle opening at the peak of the mountain that was the exit for the projected launch vehicle. The passage was essentially a gun, a "rail gun" apparatus first imagined by French inventor Louis Octave Fauchon-Villeplee in 1918.  It was a device that, using two parallel conductive rails that were fed an electromagnetic current in a pulse traveling the length of the barrel, could accelerate an object at extremely high velocity, no chemical propellant required.

The setting of Kilimanjaro had been ideal for a couple of reasons: the long slope stretching up from the flat plain was a perfect platform to build the rail, and it's closeness to the equator. The long slope allowed for minimum construction (and minimum visibility from the outside world) to set the shape of the track. The extra benefit of the height of the mountain meant that the catapulted object would make it quite a ways up in elevation before it even left the track, meaning less energy spent. The location along the equator was ideal in that anything launched would require minimal adjustments once in orbit to attain a geosynchronicity circling the planet, or to orbital trajectories further out, say. It was these outbound trajectories that were important for the second stage of the project. The third stage would change the world.

Once the rail, dubbed the Kilimanjaro Third Arm Launch Facility (or K3ALF for a slightly less unwieldy title) had been finished, there was a massive marketing push to popularize it and as always, it was easier to ask for forgiveness after the fact than for the initial permissions. After a few test runs; the brave astronautical test pilot's proud and triumphant (widely broadcast across the internet and televisions of the world) flight, not to forget his grinning mug, (also widely broadcast) telling the citizens just how beautiful their small blue world was from where he sat and that humanity should get over their petty squabbles, blah blah blah, and the usual insertion or two of new commercial satellites, (to pay for the previous' advertising), the project was much lauded for it's forward thinking and advancement of Mankind. Once the launch facility was fully operational, it was not unusual to hear the distant thunder from a bullet-shaped vehicle hitting multiple times the speed of sound and leaving nothing but a vapor contrail and a wide cloud halo around the peak of the slumbering volcano.

The third phase began with renewed landings on Earth's lonely companion, the Moon. And at the beginning of the new year, a permanent facility had been constructed in the Copernicus crater that utilized the sloping wall along with the relative flatness of it's basin, (in a slightly funhouse mirror image) to build a smaller sister version of the Kilimanjaro launch rail for the benefit of propelling craft on their return trip to Terra Firma. The public was told that the construction in Copernicus, (named the Arthur C. Clarke Platform; it wasn't in Clavius or the Tycho Crater but the name was fitting, and no one objected to honoring the famous co-author of "2001 - A Space Odyssey") would be primarily used to explore the lunar surface, research into the rocky terrain for the possibilities of future mineral prospects, and mainly; mankind's first proper foothold into space proper, where the foundation of exploration to the outer reaches of the solar system would begin.

These things were all true; proper and successful lies are always obfuscated in a web of truth. As it had been since the beginning of the massive project, there were no lies told. It was what went by unsaid that paid for all in the end. Ironically, this venture having been covered up until it was ready at K3ALF by the publics works programs was in turn a cover for the real strategy, a plan that only a handful of people outside the project were aware of.  Even the majority of the crews at the Arthur C. Clarke site were unaware of what they were a part of and if they were told, they probably wouldn't have believed it anyway.

title: [SP] The Third Arm of Kilimanjaro

question: What was the main aim of the public works (Kilimanjaro Resource Reclamation) that were set up in Tanzania?

answer: The main aim of the public works that was set up in Tanzania was to tap into the easy accessible water due to melting snows that had been increasing at the pinnacle of Kilimanjaro.

critique: The snowfall was a result of the changing climate due to human influence.

critique: This is inaccurate. Kilimanjaro specializes in water and energy. But, its main purpose is to make the arsenal of rockets at the Arthur C Clarke Platform.

critique: The water was used to bring power and jobs to the impoverished nations of Africa.

critique: Include the turbines built to create energy.

critique: The answer should mention the wind farms.

critique: The answer could be clearer in its pronoun use.

critique: The answer is not related to the question.

critique: The answer does not mention the wind farms.

critique: The project is not just about water collection, energy production and distribution are also involved.

critique: The sluices were used for energy and wind farms, not for water

critique: It was to tap into the water and energy but there was no mention of easy access

critique: The text doesn't say that the main aim of the project was to tap into the easy accessible water due to melting snows.

[Remains of the Chungar Mine camp that was destroyed by a landslide-generated wave at the Yanawayin Lake. Picture looking SW.] [Yanawayin Lake and, behind, the landslide that destroyed most of the Chungar Mine camp in 1971. Picture looking E.] [Upper part of the landslide that generated the tsunami that destroyed most of the Chungar Mine camp in 1971. Picture looking S.]

The CHUNGAR MINE, inactive, exploited a polymetallic (Zn-Pb-Cu-Ag) skarn deposit in the high Andes of central Peru. It is located about 116 km NE of Lima, 57 km southwest of Cerro de Pasco, and 82 km northwest of La Oroya in the (Santa Cruz de Andamarca District, Huaral Province, Lima Region, , 4380 m.a.s.l.). In 1971, a landslide-generated wave (“landslide tsunami”[1]) at the Yanawayin Lake destroyed most of the surface facilities and killed 200-600 persons,[2][3] including miners in flooded underground workings.[4]

The mine was owned by Cia. Minera Chungar, S.A.C. After the 1971 disaster, this mining company, keeping the same name, transferred the operations 16 km NE to the Animón mine in the Huarón Mining District.

Between 1995 and 2008, Compañía Minera Cerro S.A. rehabilitated some underground workings and had a small scale operation.

Since 2015, the mining company Volcan is exploring the surroundings of the Chungar Mine (Romina project) including the Puagjanca area where a Zn-Pb-(Ag) ore body was discovered.[5]

Confusion on the term “Chungar Mine”

The mining company Volcan through its now subsidiary Compañía Minera Chungar S.A.C.[6], operates the polymetallic Animón and Islay mines, in the Huarón Mining District, located 16 km NE of the actual Chungar Mine, under the term “Mining Unit Chungar”[7] (Unidad minera Chungar[8]). The use by Volcan of this term “Chungar Mining Unit”[9][10][11] has caused some confusion, and certain sources (e.g., the data base “alicia.concytec.gob.pe”[12] and a WoodMackenzie Report[13]) use wrongly the term of “Chungar mine” for the Animón mine.

Geological Frame

The Chungar skarn deposit belongs to the Miocene polymetallic belt of Central Peru.[14] The skarn Zn-Pb-Cu-Ag mineralization occurs mainly at the western contact of the Chungar Granite with limestone of the Cretaceous Jumasha Formation and in roof pendants.[15] Ore consists mainly of sphalerite, galena, chalcopyrite, and pyrrhotite in andradite skarn.[16] Age determinations on the outcropping Chungar granite yield an age of 12.88 ± 0.36 Ma (Ar/Ar biotite plateau age)[17] that is consistent with previous K-Ar age determinations.[18]

Similar skarn occurrences are known north and south of the Chungar Mine (e.g. Don Miguel prospect, , 8 km north of the Chungar Mine and 1 km E of the Chalhuacocha granodiorite, which was K-Ar dated at 10.0±0.3 Ma on biotite,[19] and the Puagjanca ore body, 4 km to the south[20]).
