David Davis will tell business leaders in Austria that fears the Conservatives will plunge Britain into a “Mad Max-style world borrowed from dystopian fiction” after leaving the EU are unfounded.

The Brexit secretary will claim that Theresa May’s government wants to oversee a race to the top in global standards, listing workers’ rights, City regulation, animal welfare and the environment as areas for potential improvement.

In the latest speech in the government’s “road to Brexit” series, Davis will say: “We will continue our track record of meeting high standards after we leave the European Union. Now, I know that for one reason or another there are some people who have sought to question that these really are our intentions … these fears about a race to the bottom are based on nothing – not history, not intention nor interest.”

British officials highlighted a recent warning in a European commission presentation to member states relating to workplace safety standards that appeared to suggest UK workers could be at higher risk of cancer after Brexit.

One slide suggested that the UK might cut “levels of occupational safety and health” leading to “higher exposure to chemicals and carcinogens”, and that workers could have their consultation rights cut to reduce delays for collective dismissals.

Davis will use the speech to hit back at that suggestion, outlining UK hopes that “mutual recognition” of regulations will continue after Brexit.

He will add: “They fear that Brexit could lead to an Anglo-Saxon race to the bottom. With Britain plunged into a Mad Max-style world borrowed from dystopian fiction. These fears about a race to the bottom are based on nothing, not history, not intention, nor interest.”

The minister’s attempt to reassure critics of the process for leaving the EU follow comments from Damian Green, until recently the prime minister’s de facto deputy, that could ramp up tensions over Brexit within the Conservative party.

In a BBC Radio 4 documentary, he questioned the ability of some pro-Brexit colleagues to “accept evidence” of the economic risks of leaving the EU, and said the government ought to publish such analysis in full after it is produced.

“I do reject all the conspiracy theories that suggest there’s some sort of plot inside the official machine to thwart the will of the people,” added Green, after a row in parliament in which high-profile Tory MPs questioned the impartiality of civil servants.

Davis’s speech on standards sets out some of the key issues to be discussed by cabinet ministers at May’s Chequers away day on Thursday.

The team, which includes ardent Brexiters and others who campaigned to remain, are coalescing around the idea of a system in which Britain will argue in favour of aligning with the EU in some areas but immediately diverging in others.

Davis’s reassurances on continued high standards coincide with a report by the Institute for Public Policy Research that suggests minimal support for deregulation.

An IPPR/Opinium poll found that more than 60% of the public want to retain or tighten the rules on vehicle fuel emissions, rising to more than 70% for renewable energy targets, the working time directive and a cap on bankers’ bonuses, and more than 80% for consumer cancellation rights. Only a tiny proportion say they would be happy to relax or remove such conditions.

The report, which argues in favour of staying closer to the European model of trade rather than the US one, also warns that there are signs that the UK wants to deregulate.

It highlights: the fact that the EU largely sets minimum standards not maximum ones; that many senior figures have argued strongly in favour of deregulation; and that the UK may not have the resources to keep up with changes to EU regulations after Brexit so will converge “by accident rather than design”.

It also says that the UK, as a “mid-sized economy”, can only maximise its trading benefits by aligning to a larger bloc, with the EU or US being the obvious options.

Tom Kibasi, the director of the IPPR, said: “Our research shows there is no appetite for deregulation post-Brexit. Regulatory divergence is both anti-worker and anti-business, so it should be no surprise that the public don’t want it.

“Our proposal for the ‘shared market’, where Britain and the single market would be aligned and in a customs union, remains the best way to secure our economic interests while honouring the vote to leave.”

Government officials admitted that Davis’s call for “higher standards” did not mean there would be no deregulation, suggesting that Brexit would allow the UK to regulate in a different manner.

One senior EU diplomat said everyone wanted frictionless trade, and that it would arguably help if the UK adopted EU standards on a broad scale.

“But even with this, this will not alter the fact that there will be a border between us. And that there will be enforcement of such a border in terms of not only tariffs, but verification that the UK actually meets the standards they need to export into the EU,” he said, also listing checks for counterfeited goods or trafficking.

The international trade secretary, Liam Fox, will also stress the benefits of high standards in a speech to the manufacturing industry on Tuesday, calling UK-produced goods “a kitemark of quality, innovation and world-leading technological advances”.

Fox will tell business leaders at the EEF conference that there will be a “functioning trade regime on day one” after Brexit.

question: What does the text say about Damian Green?

answer: Damian Green is Theresa May's de facto deputy.  He ran into issues in the House of Commons for suggesting that pro-Brexit colleagues aren't ready to accept evidence of the economic risks of leaving the EU. Green says this is false, and says that there is no plot inside of the official machine to thwart the will of the people. Green says there is no conspiracy against Brexit in government.

critique: Mention that Green is a former de facto deputy

critique: Green is no longer Theresa May's deputy.

critique: The text does not say that Green ran into issues in the House of Commons for suggesting that pro-Brexit colleagues aren't ready to accept evidence of the economic risks of leaving the EU.

critique: Green is no longer the prime minister's deputy.

critique: The summary is a bit jumbled and could be more clear

critique: The article doesn't say that Green is May's de facto deputy. It says he was until recently.

critique: There's no evidence of Green saying the second part of that sentence.

critique: The answer should mention that Green is a former deputy prime minister.

critique: The response inaccurately states that Green ran into issues in the House of Commons.

critique: The answer for some reason omitted the entire section about Damian Green's worries about the potential deregulation of post-Brexit Britain.

critique: This response doesn't make much sense to the question.

critique: The model should use a more appropriate word than "ran into" to describe the issues that Green had in the House of Commons.

critique: The response has a lot of redundant information.

critique: The response includes extraneous information not useful for the task.

question: What does the text say about Davis's upcoming speech?

answer: May's Brexit secretary, David Davis, will deliver his latest speech in the "road to Brexit" series in Austria. Davis will tell business leaders and claim that the Conservatives will not plunge Britain into a Mad Max-like world once they leave the EU. Davis will say that the UK wants to show leadership by upholding high standards and may continue to do so once they leave the EU.

critique: Davis will hit back against the slide which states that UK would cut "levels of occupational safety and health," which indicates Britain wants to cut regulation.

critique: The UK will show leadership by upholding high standards, not the Conservatives.

critique: The answer should mention the specific topics Davis will cover in his speech.

critique: The article doesn't mention a location for the speech.

critique: The answer omits that Davis will claim that the fears of the Conservatives plunging Britain into a Mad Max-like world is unfounded.

critique: The UK is not planning a Mad Max-like world, but some have suggested they might!

critique: The answer should mention the topic of the speech.

critique: The answer should mention the European Commission's recent warning about cancer.

critique: The answer omits the main point of the article, which is that Davis's speech is meant to reassure critics of the process for leaving the EU.

critique: It's omitted that Davis will claim that Theresa May's government wants to oversee a race to the top in global standards, listing workers' rights, City regulation, animal welfare and the environment as areas for potential improvement.

critique: The text doesn't say that the Conservatives will not plunge Britain into a Mad Max-like world once they leave the EU.

critique: The answer should mention the contents of Davis's speech.

critique: The answer should mention the specific topics Davis will discuss.

critique: The Brexit secretary does not mention Mad Max in his speech, but he does say the fear is unfounded.

question: What does the text say about the reasons in favor of Brexit?

answer: No answer

critique: The answer should point to the lack of a reason in the text and executive leadership that supports Brexit.

critique: There is no answer because there is no information in the text.

critique: There are two reasons in favor of Brexit, according to the article. Firstly, Brexit will allow the UK to regulate in a different manner. Secondly, Liam Fox will stress the benefits of high standards in a speech to the manufacturing industry on Tuesday.

critique: There is a mention of reasons for Brexit, but not enough to answer the question.

critique: The response misses to mention that the text does not discuss the reasons in favor of Brexit.

critique: It is omitted that Brexit will allow the UK to regulate in a different manner.

critique: There are some reasons in favor of Brexit, but they aren't detailed in the article.

text:
Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, people can sometimes be labelled, stereotyped, discriminated against, treated separately, or experience loss of status because of real or perceived links with the disease.[1] As a result of such treatment, those who have or are perceived to have the disease, as well as their caregivers, family, friends, and communities, may be subjected to social stigma.[2]

Due to the social stigma, individuals and groups can be subjected to racism and xenophobia and hate crimes. The groups shown to be most vulnerable to social stigma are people of East Asian descent or appearance, people who have traveled abroad, people who have recently completed quarantine, healthcare professionals and emergency service workers. It has also been shown that wearing or refusing to wear a mask has become subject to a stigma[3] as well. The existence of such social stigma[4] and their negative impacts have been documented by many organizations, including UNICEF, the WHO, and the CDC.[5][6][7][8]

Reasons for and impact of social stigma

The level of stigma towards those affected with COVID-19 is due to multiple factors. The virus is new, and there are many unknowns surrounding transmission and a possible cure. Many people cannot access tests and[9] drug development for treatment is still in progress. Meanwhile, there is widespread misinformation regarding the disease, under which various online groups and activists have spread conspiracy theories and unproven claims, including: that the virus was created in a laboratory; the virus was “planned”; and that the virus was caused by 5G networks, among other theories.[10][11][12]

In this cultural context, the disease itself is an unknown—and, according to many international health experts, people feel fearful when confronted with the unknown. In such circumstances, they may deal with this fear by assigning blame to the “other,” [13] which may include groups of people, governments, or institutions. This environment can fuel harmful stereotypes. As a result, social cohesion is undermined, and there may be increased social isolation of impacted groups. With this social isolation, people may be less likely to seek out medical help or services, take necessary precautions, or seek out social services, due to fear of discrimination. This can contribute to a situation in which the virus is more likely to spread, leading to severe health problems and difficulties in controlling disease outbreak.[14] Furthermore, people could also subjected to physical violence[15] and hate crimes.

Addressing social stigma

In order to address social stigma, it is important to build trust in reliable health services and advice, show empathy to the affected individuals and adopting effective practical measures to keep people safe.[16] The following measures are recommended to address social stigma by the UNICEF:[17]

-   Use of people-first language, that respects the individual and talking about the disease with a positive tone in all communication channels, including media, such as:
    -   Not attaching ethnicity or locations to the disease, such as 'Wuhan virus' or 'Asian virus' and using only the official name COVID-19
    -   Using 'people who have COVID-19' instead of 'COVID-19 cases' or 'COVID-19 victims' or 'COVID-19 suspects'
    -   Using terminology like, people 'acquiring' or 'contracting' COVID-19 instead of people 'transmitting COVID-19', 'infecting others' or 'spreading the virus' as it implies intentional transmission and assigns blame
    -   Refrain from using criminalising or dehumanising terminology in a way that might create impression that those with the disease have done something wrong, thereby feeding stigma
    -   Speaking the facts about COVID-19 accurately, based on scientific data and latest official health advice
    -   Not repeating or sharing unconfirmed rumors, and avoiding using of exaggerative terms like 'plague' and 'apocalypse' to denote the pandemic
    -   Emphasizing the effectiveness of prevention and treatment measures, rather than dwelling on the negatives or messages of threat.
-   Spreading accurate and updated facts, such as by:
    -   Using simple language and avoiding clinical terminology
    -   Engaging social influencers, such as religious or political leaders and celebrities to amplify the message in a geographically and culturally appropriate way
    -   Amplifying the stories and images of local people who have recovered or supported a loved one through the recovery from COVID-19
    -   Portraying of different ethnic groups, and use of symbols and formats that are neutral and not suggestive of any ethnic group
    -   Practicing ethical journalism: Reports that overly focus on patient responsibility can increase stigma for people who may have the disease. News that speculates the source of COVID-19 in each country, for example, can increase stigma towards such individuals.
    -   Linking up to the other initiatives that address social stigma and stereotyping
-   Observe communication tips:[18]
    -   Correct misconceptions, while acknowledging that people's feelings and subsequent behaviour are real, even if their underlying assumptions are false.
    -   Share sympathetic narratives and stories that humanise the struggles of affected individuals and groups
    -   Communicate support for those working in the frontline

According to United Nations Population Fund, midwives play an essential role in reducing stigma and battling the spreading belief that health facilities are to be avoided.[19]

title: Social stigma associated with COVID-19

question: What does the text say about the pandemic and social stigma?

answer: The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has led to social stigma due to multiple factors such as the virus being new and vague, most-especially due to conspiracy theories spread by online groups, unproven claims such as the virus being due to 5G networks, or that it was created in a laboratory. In addition, stigma is amplified due to many people feeling fearful of the unknown. This environment can fuel harmful stereotypes, hence social stigma and isolation increase. Isolation also tends to discourage infected people from seeking healthcare, proper treatment and services, and social support leading to an increase in the spread of the virus. This can also lead to physical violence and hate crimes.

critique: The second sentence is too wordy and can be summarized.

critique: The question "what does the text say about the pandemic and social stigma?" is not clear. The first sentence is a good response to the learning outcome, but the rest are not.

critique: "The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has led to social stigma due to multiple factors such as the virus being new and vague, most-especially due to conspiracy theories spread by online groups, unproven claims such as the virus being due to 5G networks, or that it was created in a laboratory." - this is redundant and should be removed.

critique: The response contains irrelevant information.

critique: There is no mention of physical violence and hate crimes at all. The text says it can lead to violence

critique: The response includes information that is not useful for the task.

critique: The answer is a summary of the entire article and not just the section about the pandemic and social stigma.

critique: "The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has led to social stigma due to multiple factors such as the virus being new and vague, most-especially due to conspiracy theories spread by online groups, unproven claims such as the virus being due to 5G networks, or that it was created in a laboratory.

critique: The response includes extraneous information not useful for the task.

critique: The answer should mention the measures to address social stigma.

critique: "most-especially due to conspiracy theories spread by online groups, unproven claims such as the virus being due to 5G networks, or that it was created in a laboratory." - this is not the main reason for the social stigma. This part should be removed.

critique: Doesn't point out the negative effects of social stigma

text: Doesn't mention the often racist implications of stigmatization.

This can also lead to physical violence and hate crimes.

question: What does the text say about the reasons for the social stigma?

answer: The text says that smaller populations are most likely to experience the most harmful impacts because it is easier for them to suffer from social stigma. Not knowing about the disease and having a lack of accurate information can lead to feeling fear, not just confusion, so in turn a sense of superiority becomes common. Categorizing people according to a disease makes others feel that they might be able to control it and increase their own chances of not getting into a similar experience. It seems that there is still a bit of a gap of understanding because people find it hard to understand how the disease is transmitted.

critique: The text does not say that smaller populations are most likely to experience the most harmful impacts.

critique: The response is not related to the question.

critique: "Lack of accurate information can lead to feeling fear" seems to come from the logic of the original text, rather than something it was directly said.

critique: There's no mention of "smaller populations" in the passage.

critique:
- There is no evidence of smaller populations being more affected.

- There is no evidence of the disease not being understood or not being able to figure out how the disease is transmitted.

critique: There is nothing in the text about lessening social stigma.

critique: "so in turn a sense of superiority becomes common" is a garbled sentence.

critique: The text does not say that smaller populations are most likely to experience the most harmful impacts because it is easier for them to suffer from social stigma.

critique: The last two sentences are not included in the text.

critique: The text doesn't refer to "smaller populations". Rather, it says that people of East Asian descent or appearance, people who have traveled abroad, people who have recently completed quarantine, healthcare professionals and emergency service workers are more likely to suffer social stigma.

critique: The response is not relevant to the question.

question: What does the text say about addressing social stigma?

answer: In order to address social stigma, it is important to build trust in reliable health services. It is also important to build empathy toward affected individuals and demonstrate practical measures to keep people safe. The article recommends using people- first language and using only the official name of the virus. It also recommends using terminology like people 'acquiring' versus 'people infecting'. Strategic words like 'amplify' can bring to attention any issue.

critique: The response contains inaccurate information.

critique: The word "amplify" is used but is not a recommendation

critique: The response contains misleading information.

critique: The response includes extraneous information not useful for the task.

critique: The article does not recommend using people-first language. The article recommends using positive language.

critique: Remove all the unnecessary information. This question is only asking what the highlighted parts say.

critique: "It is also important to build empathy toward affected individuals and demonstrate practical measures to keep people safe." is evidence that the article emphasizes the importance of empathy and practical measures.

critique: It is omitted that the UNICEF recommends spreading accurate and updated facts.

critique: This response is inaccurate citing improper references to the pamphlet and the UNICEF.

critique: The summary does not address the impact of the measures suggested and the extent to which they can help reduce social stigma.

critique: The answer should mention the other measures that UNICEF recommends.

critique: The last sentence is not in view of the answer to the question, it should be omitted.

critique: The response misses to mention the rest of the measures that the UNICEF recommends.

critique: It is omitted that the UNICEF recommends using people-first language, using only the official name of the virus, and using terminology like people 'acquiring' versus 'people infecting'.

question: What does the text say about midwives?

answer: The text says that midwives can help reduce a bacterial/viral disease outbreak or flare-up by helping respond to social stigma and showcasing a position of authority. Midwives can counter negative thoughts and fears within a specific community, while increasing the trust in health services and sources.

critique: The answer should mention the role of midwives in reducing social stigma.

critique: The statement that midwives also play an essential role in reducing stigma and battling the spreading belief that health facilities are to be avoided is unattested and must be removed.

critique: The response is inaccurate and does not answer the question.

critique: The response is not related to the question.

critique: It's not specifically said that they can help reduce a bacterial/viral disease outbreak or flare-up but they can help reduce social stigma.

critique: Remove the information after the first comma.

critique: The answer does not mention the role of midwives in reducing social stigma.

critique: This is not found in the text, but it is an extrapolation from the provided information.

critique: "Flare-up" isn't a word; "breakout" would be best.


text:
“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.

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.

Sales bested 2017’s 17% increase over Labor Day, according to Edison Trends, despite Trump’s protests of the campaign

The Nike ad starring Colin Kaepernick does not appear to have adversely affected sales, an analyst said on Saturday.

According to Edison Trends, a digital commerce research company: “Nike sales grew 31% from Sunday through Tuesday over Labor Day this year, besting 2017’s comparative 17% increase.”

The sportswear giant released the first version of its ad on Monday, the Labor Day holiday. It featured the quarterback and the slogan: “Believe in something. Even if it means sacrificing everything. Just do it.”

Kaepernick, 30, has been without a team since opting out of his San Francisco 49ers contract in March 2017. In 2016 he was an originator of protests by NFL players, targeting racial injustice and police brutality, which often involve kneeling during the pre-game playing of the national anthem.

Donald Trump has made the protests a key part of his appeal to his base, arguing that the players are disrespecting the anthem, the US flag and the military.

On Tuesday, the president told the rightwing website Daily Caller: “I think it’s a terrible message that [Nike] are sending and the purpose of them doing it, maybe there’s a reason for them doing it. But I think as far as sending a message, I think it’s a terrible message and a message that shouldn’t be sent. There’s no reason for it.”

He also said Nike paid him “a lot of rent” in New York and admitted that the protests and the Nike ad were “in another way … what this country is all about, that you have certain freedoms to do things that other people think you shouldn’t do”.

“But I personally am on a different side of it,” Trump said.

In the following days, the president pursued the issue via Twitter. On Wednesday, he wrote: “Just like the NFL, whose ratings have gone WAY DOWN, Nike is getting absolutely killed with anger and boycotts. I wonder if they had any idea that it would be this way? As far as the NFL is concerned, I just find it hard to watch, and always will, until they stand for the FLAG!”

Trump did not supply evidence for his claim of “anger and boycotts” but opposition to the company’s move was expressed widely and in some instances creatively on social media.

On Friday, the morning after the full version of the Nike ad played during the Philadelphia Eagles v Atlanta Falcons NFL season opener, the president asked: “What was Nike thinking?”

Nike releases full ad featuring Colin Kaepernick - video
Edison Trends’ analysis suggested the company will be thinking its gambit has worked, allowing it to surf familiar controversy and create a “Trump bump” all of its own.

“Nike’s 2018 late summer sales show much the same trend as last year’s,” the company wrote, “with order volume decreasing slightly going into late August. The similarity decreases coming out of Labor Day weekend, however, with sales seeing a bigger bump on Monday and Tuesday than in the past.”

Edison Trends said its analysis was based on “anonymised and aggregated e-receipts from more than 3 million consumers”.

The NFL has not resolved how to respond to or govern the protests, which were widely discussed again on Thursday after Eagles defensive end Michael Bennett sat down before the anthem had finished.

In July, in an open letter to league owners, the NBA great and Guardian sports columnist Kareem Abdul Jabbar wrote: “It’s been two years since Colin Kaepernick first took a knee to protest systemic racial injustice, especially police brutality, against people of color.

“The worst thing about that isn’t that two years later we’re still debating whether players have the right to protest, it’s that not much has changed regarding what Kaepernick was protesting.”

question: Summarize the arguments against Kaepernick.

answer: Donald Trump argues that the protests are disrespectful to the anthem, the US flag, and the military. He also claims that Nike is getting "absolutely killed with anger and boycotts" and that they "paid him a lot of rent in New York".

critique: The answer omits the reason for the anger and boycotts.

critique: Trump's claim of Nike paying him rent is irrelevant.

critique: The answer omits the fact that Kaepernick initiated the protests.

critique: Trump's claims about Nike are irrelevant.

text: There is no argument against Kaepernick in the article, just of Nike.

category: accuracy

question: What does the article say about the effects of Kaepernick's protests?

answer: They seem to be having a positive effect on Nike sales. The company's late summer sales show much the same trend as last year, but sales see a bigger bump on Monday and Tuesday than in the past.

critique: The article doesn't mention any effects on Nike sales.

critique: The answer should mention the effect on the NFL.

critique: The article doesn't say anything about the effects of Kaepernick's protests. The answer should be "no answer".

critique: The answer fails to mention that Nike's sales have increased year-on-year.

critique: The answer should mention the president's comments.

critique: The answer should mention the president's views.

critique: The answer could mention how this is contrary to Trump's protests.

text: The response does not cover the effects of Kaepernick's protest. It was reporting on the impact of Nike's advert.

question: What does the article say about ways to resolve racial injustice and police brutality?

answer: No answer

critique: The article does have an answer to this question.

critique: The article does not mention any ways to resolve racial injustice and police brutality.

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]).

title: Chungar Mine

question: Summarize everything relating to the mine's name.

answer: The mine was called the Chungar Mine. The mining company that owned it, Cia. Minera Chungar, S.A.C., kept the same name when it moved operations 16 km NE to the Animón mine.

critique: The answer omits that Compañía Minera Chungar, S.A.C., uses the term "Chungar Mining Unit" for its Animón and Islay mines, causing confusion.

critique: The answer makes an assumption about the mine/mining company name. It should only include facts.

critique: The answer could mention the confusion around the mine's name.

critique: The answer should mention the confusion about the mine's name.

critique: The answer should mention the confusion on the term "Chungar Mine".

critique: The answer omits the confusion caused by the mining company Volcan using the term "Chungar Mining Unit" for its Animon and Islay mines.

question: What does the article say about the working conditions in the mine?

answer: No answer

critique: The answer should mention that the article does not mention anything about the working conditions.

                                           The King

	Our King has always been a little different. He’s very quiet I haven’t really seen him give anyone orders at all either. Whenever something needs to be done I see him doing it. He doesn’t just sit around; I’ve actually seen him go into the mines. I don’t know if it’s just because I’m a child but not even the adults in the village are as active as him.

       He’s always leaving the kingdom and coming back with tons of different things. I can’t always see what he’s coming back with, but I’ve seen bones, some kind of meat that just looks bad, and even strange looking pearls. And the dogs! He has so many dogs that there’s not a single wild dog here. He must be traveling great distances to find all these dogs, because I know they’re not from here.

	When I see him doing all these strange things I start asking my parents what it is he’s doing, and they tell me: “don’t question the king,” but they never tell me why. He doesn’t look old, so he can’t be all that wise. All that work he does and all the times he leaves - it’s not normal.  I was  sick of wondering.

	I finally got into his castle and he was at his workbench. When I got closer he looked back at me, seemingly confused, but he turned back around and kept tinkering with some weird red dust. I got closer and mustered up the courage to ask him as politely as I could, “How come you’re so different than everyone else?” The king stopped, stood up and looked at me. He asked, “Excuse me?” and I said it again. He chuckled briefly under his breath and said “it seems like you’re different too.”

       He started to tell me a story. “When I was your age, I lived in a different kingdom and I felt the same way about my king. I would go to school and all the kids and the teachers would seem to just drift through their lives, but not the king; he was always spontaneous. I was finally sick of that curious feeling, so I went and talked to my king and he told me his story. Sometime afterwards the kingdom was destroyed and all the people inside were attacked by monsters. It was terrible. There were explosions, arrows, and the groans of the undead.

	I was able to escape, but barely. I fought my way out with nothing but my hands. finally I found a break in the chaos and I found a cave and covered the entrance with dirt. I was devastated, but I wanted to live so I built a shelter.  I enjoyed building. Then since I had built my shelter I began mining - I enjoyed that as well. I had so many supplies I decided to build more and I ended up building a village. Strangely enough people appeared. That village moved on to become this kingdom. That’s my story.”

	I asked him why he told me all that. and he told me simply because I was a player. A player? I was so confused. He then told me that only players are kings. I didn’t understand. He went on by asking me what my earliest memory is and I told him standing outside. “Exactly,” He said. “That was the first time you entered this world.” He started talking about how this life isn’t real and that once he’s gone he’ll be able to enter the real world again.

	He began taking me adventuring with him, that’s when he would explain things and share his knowledge with me. “When a king dies, everything he ever did goes with him. That’s how my king’s old kingdom was destroyed. I left my Kingdom and made a village. I have people of my own now. My king was killed by a mob of three suicide creatures right outside his gate. I saw everything he had made disappear along with him.” That’s when I believed everything he told me - while he took me adventuring with him. Now I know that there is a better life to be had out of this one. A less edged and more rounded one. Thank you king Steve. Minecraft Steve.

title: The King (Minecraft short story)

question: Summarize the story's setting.

answer: The story is set in a large, Minecraft-themed virtual world.

critique: It is omitted that the narrator's village is in a desert.

critique: The answer doesn't really describe the setting.

critique: The summary should indicate more of the setting that is given in the story.

critique: The story is set in a Minecraft world, but the setting is the village that the king built.

critique: The story is set in a Minecraft world, but it is not a virtual world.

question: What does the passage say about the relationship between the narrator and the king?

answer: The relationship between the king and the narrator is a good one and they seem to trust one another. The king tells the narrator his story and why he is different than the many people in his kingdom. After telling him his story and answering all his questions, the king asks the narrator what his first memory is upon entering the world and what he likes to do. Afterward, the king let the narrator go to the real world and join him by taking him on explorations.

critique: "After telling him his story and answering all his questions, the king asks the narrator what his first memory is upon entering the world and what he likes to do. Afterward, the king let the narrator go to the real world and join him by taking him on explorations." - this is incorrect. The king never asked the narrator what his first memory was. He also never asked the narrator what he liked to do. This should be removed.

critique: The king doesn't ask the narrator what his first memory is, but what his earliest memory is.

critique: The secondary part of the summary is extraneous.

critique: The answer contains irrelevant information.

text: The answer claims that the King takes the narrator to the real world, which is not true. The King informs the narrator of its existence but doesn't go there.

refinement: The relationship between the king and the narrator is a good one and they seem to trust one another. The king tells the narrator his story and why he is different than the many people in his kingdom. After telling him his story and answering all his questions, the king asks the narrator what his first memory is upon entering the world and what he likes to do. Afterward, the king let the narrator go to the real world and join him by taking him on explorations.

question: What does the passage say about the narrator's name?

answer: No answer

critique: The answer could be found in the passage.

question: Summarize what the passage says about being a parent.

answer: No answer

critique: The response misses to mention that the narrator's parents tell him not to question the king.

critique: The story has some information about parenting.

critique: No response is given, so a response needs to be created.

"Down in the well, the water dwelled."

-Nope.

"Down in the well, the water sat."

-No, that's not right either. Water is inanimate. It can neither dwell nor sit. What does water do? Rest? Lie?

Perch?

-'Perch'? Are we out of our linguistic mind? Water is not a cat! All those earlier description failures are attempts at personifying a thing. I suppose water CAN course (but only when there is an active current and gravity to push the molecules). In most ordinary instances that we can think of, it appears that water can only 'be' (as far as within the flat, level environment of a deep, lonely well.)

Ok then. let's try again. "Down in the well, the water just was."

-Humm. We can't think of a good rhyme for 'was'. We were going to try 'cause' in the next line but that's a real stretch to rhyme 'was' and 'cause'. Maybe we should actually try to personify the water. That might be interesting.

"Down in the well the water lurked. It was such a ridiculous construct it made us smirk."

-Yeah, 'lurked' and 'smirk' are too silly to use in serious writing and we're still uncomfortable with the idea of personifying a thing.

'Bubbled'? 'Gurgled'? 'Rested'? 'Was corralled'? 'Contained within'? That last one is technically accurate but it's too awkward to 'flow' smoothly into a verse.

-Hummm, flow? Nah. 'Flow' also implies gravitational action that wouldn't be at work inside a well.

'Floated'?

-Well, that's somewhat accurate but really other things float IN water. They work against the collection of hydrogen and oxygen molecules to be buoyant.

Can't something float within itself?

-Nah, too metaphysical. We must keep the poem easy to comprehend.

Poem? Who says this is a POEM? Does it have to be? Dude! Maybe it's a gruesome horror story and there's a dead body floating IN the tepid water!

   "Down in the well, the water contained the bloated body of Randolph Ringhoffer."

Does the name 'Ringhoffer' or having double 'R' initials distract from the story idea? Should we have used a more common name like 'Jones'?

-What does it matter at this point, 'dude'? How can anything distract a reader if we only have one sentence so far? It's silly to worry about such things this early.

   That's not true at all. I happen to already know that Mr. Ringhoffer was intentionally pushed into the well by an angry malcontent. He drowned. He's been floating there five weeks in the stagnant, festering pool. His restless spirit has been getting angrier by the minute until someone extracts revenge on... Butch Cas... er... Carson. The local outlaw, Butch Carson.

-'Outlaw'? Open well? 'Malcontent'? 'Butch'? Is this a 'Wild West' roundup tale or something? Those aren't common terms and situations for modern times.

   As a matter of fact it is, Mr. Negative. It takes place in 1887, in frontier Wyoming. That's where Mr. Ringhoffer's cattle ranch is. What's with all the single quotes, anyway? Is that a manifestation of your contempt for my writing choices?

-Take it easy, 'hoss'. I'm just echoing the subconscious thoughts of your potential readers. That's the sort of thing that would occur to them. You know I'm your inner monologue. It's my job to critique and challenge you creatively. Otherwise you do not grow as a writer and storyteller.

If you are just a part of my creativity, how do you know what others will think about my details? What innate insight do you have? You're just an annoying voice in my head.

 -As a matter of fact, myself and the inner monologues of everyone else in the world gets together for big discussions and conferences. We evaluate things. We discuss YOU and your penchant to over-analyze small details. It's sad really. We feel you could achieve some great things if you'd just let the writing occur naturally. Stop agonizing over minute details.

Ok. Fair enough. I understand 'you' are just trying to help. Could we have a little more 'constructive' and a little less outright 'criticism'?

-Yes. Sure. I don't want you to feel discouraged either. It's a balancing act. I'm digging the story idea so far. I'm anxious to see where you go with it. Just please, for all that is holy, do NOT weave a well-worn cliché about rival wealthy landowners who dam up the river to extract gold from the stream. That would just be 'Unforgiven'.

title: [MF] 'At war with his internal-monologue'

question: What does the story say about how the protagonists write a poem?

answer: The story shows how the protagonists have trouble writing a poem. They try to personify the water and think of rhymes for the words "was", "cause", and "flow". They also think about the object that is floating in the water, and the place where it is happening. The story also shows the inner monologue of the author and how they criticise the author's work.

critique: The inner monologue is not part of the process of writing the poem

critique: The answer is a bit confusing. It should be rewritten.

critique: The story does not show how the protagonists write a poem.

critique: Remove the final sentence. It is unnecessary.

critique: The answer could be more specific about the difficulties the author has writing the poem.

critique: The inner monologue is not relevant to the question.

question: What does the story say about the protagonists' characters?

answer: The protagonist is a writer who is struggling to write a poem. He is struggling to personify water and is having a hard time coming up with the right words to describe it. He is also having a hard time coming up with the right words to describe the body of the victim. The protagonist is also being criticized by his inner monologue, which is also his own creativity. The inner monologue is also trying to help the protagonist as much as possible.

critique: The protagonist is not a writer struggling to write a poem. He is struggling to personify water.

critique: The protagonist is not struggling to personify water.

critique: Everything in the answer is false. Nothing in the story implies that the writer is struggling to write a poem.

critique: The protagonist is not a writer struggling to write a poem. He is struggling to personify water and is having a hard time coming up with the right words to describe it. He is also having a hard time coming up with the right words to describe the body of the victim. The protagonist is also being criticized by his inner monologue, which is also his own creativity. The inner monologue is also trying to help the protagonist as much as possible.

critique: The inner monologue is not the protagonist's own creativity.

text: The response is completely irrelevant; the characters in the protagonist's story are the body in the well and the man who killed him

PRIMOŽ (pronounced ['pɾimɔʒ]) is a high hill overgrown with trees[1], and is a part of a ridge separating the Pivka basin from the Reka valley. It is located in the Municipality of Pivka in the Inner Carniola region of Slovenia. It has many marked trails and a macadamized road leading to its peak. There is a historical trail intended for tourists with many information signs around its peak. It served an important military role during the Second World War, since it contained many tunnels and bunkers used by Italian army.[2]It is named after St. Primož and the Felicijan church, which was abandoned in the eighteenth century with practically no ruins leftover.[3]

Location

Primož is located in the Municipality of Pivka in the Inner Carniola region of Slovenia. The town of Pivka is built on the northern and northeastern slopes of Primož.[4] It has a commanding view over the entire Pivka basin which contributed to its military importance during the Second World War.

History

After the end of World War 1, Primož hill became Italian territory following an agreement between Italy, Great Britain, France and Russia alongside South Tyrol, Istria, Dalmatia and various islands in the Adriatic sea. On November 12th, 1920, the border was drawn in accordance with the Treaty of Rapallo, crossing the Pivka basin, on the ridge of the Javorniki mountain chain. Primož's military tunnels were dug in 1930 as a part of the long Alpine Wall, a vast series of Italian Defense fortifications. The tunnels consisted of two lines; one directly on the border, and the second one a few kilometers behind it. Locals were kept away from the tunnels, and were only allowed to bring basic materials and food near its premises. The tunnels were constructed only by verified members of the Italian National Fascist Party.[5] The tunnels were secured with steel plates coated with a thick layer of concrete. The tunnels are long in total,[6] but they were never used for military purposes.[7] After the withdrawal of Italian forces, local people took valuables from the area, and in 1944, German forces destroyed the tunnels in fear that allied Partisans would find military use for them.[8]

There are a number of tourist trails leading to the peak. The historical trail has information signs at the summit which explain the history of Primož in detail. From its peak, most of the Pivka basin can be seen, including Lake Palčje after heavy rainfall.[9]

title: Primož (hill)

question: Summarize Primož's strategic importance.

answer: The hill served an important military role during the Second World War because it had many tunnels and bunkers used by the Italian army. It was built as part of the long Alpine Wall, a vast series of Italian Defense fortifications. The tunnels were used as a part of the Italian border, and another line of tunnels were built a few kilometers behind it. The tunnels were built only by members of the Italian National Fascist Party and were used by Italian military forces.

critique: The tunnels were never used for military purposes.

question: What does the text say about the military tunnels in Primož?

answer: The tunnels were dug for a part of the long Alpine Wall, a series of Italian defense fortifications. There are two lines or tunnels in the system. The first, on the border, was meant to be used by the Italian National Fascist Party only. The second tunnel was much farther back, and was kept secret from the locals, but they knew about it. The system contained several steel-plate reinforced tunnels to ward off sabotage or invading forces. The tunnels were never used for military purposes and in 1944 they were demolished by the German military in fear that an invading party could use them.

critique: The second line of tunnels was never kept secret from the locals.

question: Summarize Primož in the present day.

answer: The hill is now a part of the Municipality of Pivka, and contains many marked trails and a macadamized road leading to its peak. There is a historical trail intended for tourists with many information signs around its peak, and it still contains tunnels and bunkers used by the Italian army during the Second World War.

critique: The tunnels are no longer used for military purposes.

critique: The detail about the tunnels and bunkers is unnecessary.

text: It would be inaccurate to say that the hill contains the tunnels and bunkers from WWII, since the German forces destroyed these in 1944 fearing that allied Partisans would use them.

-   IN FEBRUARY 2018, THE US CATTLEMEN’S ASSOCIATION (USCA) FILED A PETITION TO THE USDA ARGUING THAT LAB-GROWN AND PLANT-BASED MEAT STARTUPS SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO CALL THEIR PRODUCTS "MEAT," SINCE THEY DO NOT COME FROM SLAUGHTERED ANIMALS.
-   THE STARTUPS SAY THEY ARE NOT BACKING DOWN.
-   WHILE LAB-GROWN MEAT PRODUCTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC YET, A NUMBER OF STARTUPS ARE ATTEMPTING TO MAKE IT MORE COMMERCIALLY FEASIBLE. PLANT-BASED MEAT COMPANIES, LIKE IMPOSSIBLE FOODS AND BEYOND MEAT, ALREADY SELL THEIR ITEMS AT SUPERMARKETS AND RESTAURANTS.
-   THE DEBATE WILL LIKELY INTENSIFY.

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

For the first time, a major part of the US beef industry is taking aim at tech startups creating meat — without animals — that tastes like the real thing. (These startups fall into two major buckets: companies that make meat from plants, and others that are growing real meat using animal cells in labs.)

In February, the US Cattlemen’s Association (USCA) filed a 15-page petition to the USDA asking the agency to strictly define "meat" and "beef" as animals raised and slaughtered. The group argues that displaying plant-based meat products next to traditional meat items could confuse customers, especially when they're labeled as chicken or beef.

Plant-based and lab-grown meat startups are refuting that argument.

Ethan Brown, the CEO of the plant-based foods company Beyond Meat, believes that its burgers serve the same purpose as traditional beef.

"Why can't we call it a piece of meat? It has the same things in it, it presents the same way, and it performs the same function," he told Capital Public Radio. "A lot like we call the mobile phone a phone, and we don’t call it a fake landline."

Josh Tetrick, CEO of the food-tech startup Just (formerly called Hampton Creek), told Business Insider that tech companies and the beef industry should work together on creating the future of meat. Just produces plant-based foods, like eggless mayonnaise, and it's also working on a cultured — or lab-grown — meat product.

"I understand better than most the nuances and challenges of product naming," said Tetrick, who won a similar battle over labeling Just's eggless mayo as mayo in 2015. "My biggest takeaway is this: The leaders of the national and global meat industry want to feed the world animal protein in a sustainable way. That’s a shared interest that should be celebrated."

Big Beef is divided on how to fight fake meat startups

By filing an official motion, the country's ranchers are showing cultured and plant-based meat startups that they are prepared to fight for the definition of meat.

"[The government] should require that any product labeled as 'beef' come from cattle that have been born, raised, and harvested in the traditional manner, rather than coming from alternative sources such as a synthetic product from plant, insects, or other non-animal components and any product grown in labs from animal cells," the USCA wrote.

But not every group within the beef industry agrees on how to challenge these startups.

In April, the more-powerful National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (NCBA) sent a letter to the USDA, arguing for the opposite ruling as the USCA.

The NCBA's position may seem counterintuitive, but as Quartz notes, the move is likely part of a larger strategy to fight fake meat startups. By putting their products under the oversight of the USDA, lab-grown and plant-based meat companies would need to adhere to the USDA's existing regulations on meat, which could hamper research and development.

Fake meat startups — attracting hundreds of millions in venture capital — say that they're not backing down

In the petition, the USCA mentions Impossible Foods and Beyond Meat, companies that are each backed by millions in VC funding. The group also calls out Memphis Meats, Just, and Mosa Meats — three startups that are racing to bring lab-grown meat to market.

Recent venture-capital investments could make that more commercially feasible.

In January, Tyson Foods announced that it had invested in Memphis Meats, joining the startup's list of prominent backers including Bill Gates, the food giant Cargill, and Richard Branson.

Plant-based meat companies have also caught the attention of VCs. In 2016, Tyson also bought a 5% stake in Beyond Meat, a company that sells plant-based burgers, chicken, and sausage in grocery stores. Meanwhile, Impossible Foods has chosen to sell its burgers exclusively in restaurants. Until recently, Impossible's patties were only available at select food establishments for over $10. But in April, the company debuted $2 sliders at 140 White Castle locations across New York, New Jersey, and Illinois.

Just could be the first cultured food startup to get its meat to stores. Last year, the company said it plans to do so by the end of this year. Memphis Meats and Mosa Meats say they will start offering their products to the public in 2021.

"We have made progress in all areas that needed improvements — creating fat tissue, creating color, moving towards serum-free culturing — but we’re not there yet," Mosa Meats CEO Peter Verstrate previously told Business Insider.

Proponents of meat-mimicking food argue that it's more environmentally friendly than raising traditional livestock.

This month, a group of scientists from the University of Oxford published the most comprehensive analysis to date of the damage farming does to the planet. The new research suggests that without dairy and meat consumption, global farmland use could be reduced by over 75% — an area equivalent to the US, China, European Union, and Australia combined — and still feed the world. Globally, traditional animal farming accounts for about 18% of all greenhouse emissions, uses 47,000 square miles of land annually, and exhausts 70% of the world's water.

As startups improve their meat alternatives, the debate over what can legally be considered meat will likely intensify.

answer: Proponents of meat-mimicking food argue that it's more environmentally friendly than raising traditional livestock. Specifically, without dairy and meat consumption, global farmland use could be reduced by over 75% — an area equivalent to the US, China, European Union, and Australia combined. This means that more food could be provided to those in need.  Globally, traditional animal farming accounts for about 18% of all greenhouse emissions, uses 47,000 square miles of land annually, and exhausts 70% of the world's water.

critique: The answer should mention the environmental impact of traditional livestock farming.

critique: "This means that more food could be provided to those in need." - is a bit hard to read. Better to move this first statement to a later point.

critique: The response contains information that is not useful for the task.

question: What does the text say about public opinion of meat-mimicking food?

answer: No answer

critique: The response misses to mention the public opinion of meat-mimicking food.

At 10 PM Hunter was on his way to another graveyard shift of monitoring the Distant Detection Array as he always does. Tonight started like any other, Hunter was prepared for another uneventful night of watching nothing happen on the monitors. When he showed up at the observation wing of the base, Hunter expressed his disinterest for his assignment to the attending officer as he always does. He thinks his job is a waste of time and resources. He is dresses in full uniform, has to have a special security clearance and works in a secret area of a heavily guarded military facility ... all to look at a wall of monitors that tell him the universe looks normal.

&#x200B;

"Why use the most expensive telescopes humanity has ever built to look for something we don't even think exists?" is his usual complaint. Every officer at the base has heard this at least a dozen times, however they remind Hunter that orders are orders and insist that Hunter shouldn't complain about being given such a simple job. His only responsibility is to report unusual feedback from telescopes and sensors, if anything unusual ever comes through. He knows the Array is really being used to look for signs of an incoming attack from an extraterrestrial race and not to monitor supernova candidate stars, which is what the public is told. "The big wigs have been watching too many space operas" Hunter would say to anyone who would listen.

&#x200B;

At this point humanity has not even found definitive proof of life outside of our solar system, much less signs of intelligence. The closest we have seen is a rocky planet with nitrogen, oxygen, and carbon dioxide in its atmosphere. Hunter knew that the atmosphere of this planet was mostly oxygen with relatively small amounts of the other gasses, so if a living creature there tried to use fire the entire planet would ignite. Anything living there would be stuck in the stone age.

&#x200B;

Despite his skepticism, Hunter takes over monitor duty at 11 PM as he always does. At 1:07 PM some of the sensors start to detect something in a pocket of seemingly empty space about 17 light years away. One sensor detects an emission of gamma rays, another one detected x rays. This caught Hunter's attention as it is unusual for an area of empty space to emit such radiation. Hunter decided to take a look at the area with telescopes. He sent instructions an an infrared, visible light, and a radio telescope to survey the area. He was perplexed that both of them showed absolutely nothing even though the radiation levels were reaching levels that were theorized to be the upper limit of what the most powerful stars could emit. Because the telescopes couldn't see anything, Hunter was looking at data that told him a massive amount of radiation was either appearing out of nothing, or leaking into our universe. Hunter decoded that he would restart the sensors and receiving satellites to try and make sure these weren't false readings.

&#x200B;

As he was waiting for the sensors to come back on, the infrared telescope he pointed at the area gave an alert. It had detected a momentary spike and drop to normal of heat in the area, which did not match the ever increasing readings from the other sensors. Hunter hoped the sensors would come back on, show nothing, and he could submit a simple sensor anomaly report to his superiors. These hopes were crushed when the sensors started returning information again. Not only did they pick up the radiation again, they were maxed out. Hunter couldn't believe it. He stared in awe, unable to come up with any explanation for what was going on in front of his eyes. Moments later, all the telescopes started giving alerts. The visible light telescope detected light levels akin to a supernova 100 light years away. The radio telescope was showing what could best be described as trying to broadcast every radio station from one antenna. The infrared telescope was telling him that this area of space, empty a few minutes ago, was engulfed in flames.

&#x200B;

Then it all stopped. Everything observing the anomaly stopped transmitting data. Hunter thought it was an issue with the receiving satellites, however a check revealed they were functioning properly. He tried restarting the sensors and telescopes, but simply could not get any data from them. Hunter decided this was unusual enough to report to the officers and senior scientists at the base.

&#x200B;

He called an emergency meeting, having to wake up generals, astronomers, and physicists in the middle of the night. He thought that his news wouldn't be well received at such a time, however his training told him to go through with the protocol right away. After everyone had been assembled and lots of coffee had been consumed, hunter began to present the data and his recollection of the events. He was surprised as the others began to look horrified.

&#x200B;

One of the generals pointed at Hunter and said "Just to be clear son, you can never tell anyone outside this room what you just told us". He then excused hunter from his post, and told him that he would file his honorable discharge papers immediately if Hunter wished to leave the force. "Did I just detect something from out of this world?" Hunter asked the general, to which one of the physicists replied in a solemn tone "Out of this universe".

title: [SF] Far Sight Lost

question: What does the story say about how Hunter felt about his job?

answer: Hunter didn't like his job because he saw it as a waste of time and resources. He believed it was a simple job and he saw the Distant Detection Array as only a waste of time and resources. Hunter was on his way to his usual graveyard shift of monitoring the Distant Detection Array when he complained about his assignment. He saw his job as a simple one, and he disliked it.

question: Summarise what significant incident occurred at work while Hunter skeptically assumed his night duty.

answer: Hunter was on his way to another graveyard shift of monitoring the Distant Detection Array as he always does. He was prepared for another uneventful night of watching nothing happen on the monitors. However, at 1:07 AM, some of the sensors started to detect something in a pocket of seemingly empty space about 17 light years away. One sensor detected an emission of gamma rays, another one detected x rays. This caught Hunter's attention as it is unusual for an area of empty space to emit such radiation.

Two Houses.

Picture two houses across the street from one another. They looked perfectly normal and sturdy on the outside, but on the inside they were run down and falling apart. Inside of one lived a quiet and peaceful man, and in the other lived a beautiful and cheerful woman. Neither of them, however, liked being outside the confines of their own house.

One day, the peaceful man ventured across the street to the other house and was invited inside. The two strangers visited, shared laughs, told stories, and enjoyed the others company. At the end of the day, the man returned to his house.

The next day he visited again, but instead of talking, he started to slowly repair the inside of the run down house. When one of his repairs would break, he would immediately come over to fix the damage with a smile on his face. The two housekeepers became used to seeing one another each day, and eventually, the woman would come over to the man's house to visit. The woman noticed that his house looked much worse on the inside than hers, and started to sneak inside at night while he was asleep to make repairs. When the man would try to fix something himself, or repair damages to his own house, he would fail, and sometimes even make things worse. But the next morning,  he would notice that things would be fixed. This puzzled the man and he decided to ask the woman about it the next time she came over.

The next evening they spent together, he asked and she informed the man of what she had been doing, and the man asked why. She replied,
"Because people who show a caring and wholesome heart deserve to receive the same treatment they give to others." The man became confused.
          "But I am a shut in. Nobody gives to me, and I don't give to them. Why does somebody like me deserve somebody as wonderful as you?"

The woman put her hand on the man's shoulder and looked into his dark brown eyes. She noticed a hurt that had always seemed to hide beneath his smile, a sorrow that hadn't been revealed in a very long time. She said in a soft and gentle voice: "Somebody that prefers to be alone does not always prefer being lonely. There is always somebody who will care."

The two embraced, and the man sobbed and became limp in the woman's arms. Once he had calmed down, the woman kissed him on the cheek and returned to her house without saying a word.

The following morning, he noticed another man performing landscaping on her lawn, painting the outside of her house, and cleaning her patio. Each day the house would look more and more beautiful. He became sad that the woman had found somebody else to do her work, and started to loathe the landscaper that would beautify her house all the time.

The woman remained indoors all day, trying to make the interior of her house look as pleasant as the exterior. However, most of her attempts at repairs or renovation were disasters. The person she hired was no help, and was only after her money. She began to miss her neighbors company, along with his sturdy repairs and his gentle smile. As days went by, the man and woman thought about each other more and more, but never saw each other.

One afternoon, the woman heard her doorbell ring. Knowing it wasn't the landscaper she hired, she curiously approached the peephole of the door. Seeing that nobody was outside, she opened the door and looked for pranksters. Looking down, she saw a small, dirty looking tin with a bow neatly placed on top of it.

The interior of the unkempt tin was extravagantly decorated with soft velvet from top to bottom, and in the center laid a simple necklace with a key on it, resting on top of a small note. Putting the necklace on, she unfolded the small note and noticed little droplets of water on the page.

"You are the only one that can make it feel less empty. Please take care of it for me while I'm gone. I must go, but I will return one day."

After reading it the woman dropped to her knees, and tears started to form in her tightly shut eyes. For what seemed like years, she spent the next few months wishing the man would come back and going into his house to take care of it while he was gone. She noticed that every little thing she had done to the house remained unchanged, as if he never tried to correct the small mistakes she had made.

Eventually, the man returned. The woman was thrilled and filled with happiness, but also saddened by the fact that the man no longer came across the street to visit her. A few days after his return, she noticed he was packing his belongings into boxes. Fearing that he might move away, the woman mustered up the courage to go talk to the man.

"Why are you putting everything into boxes?" The woman asked.
    "Because," the man replied solemnly, "I am looking to create new memories and find a fresh start." The woman said nothing and returned to her house, slamming the door and fighting back tears.

The next morning, the man was loading his belongings into a moving truck when he saw a pile of boxes bigger than his own sitting in the woman's lawn. He walked across the street to the pile, and saw a note taped to one of the boxes.

"I will always love you, and I promise that I will always be next to you. No matter where we go."

The man's face turned into a broad smile, and he looked up to see the woman on her front patio, looking right back at him, the necklace glistening in the sunlight. She ran into his arms and they kissed for what felt like an eternity. The pair continued to load all of their belongings into the one moving truck, and left that very evening. Holding hands with his true love, the man looked into the rear view mirror to see the sun setting on the old, abandoned houses for the last time, and felt what was truly a pure happiness. An odd and relieving sensation washed over him like a tide, as he realized that he would never have to search for anything in his life, as long as he lived.

Sitting outside on the steps of the Lafayette Theater on a crisp February evening with a rolled newspaper clenched tightly in his left-hand Joseph Williams was lost in thought. It was a familiar voice that brought him back to reality, “Hey Joey, the boys and I are headin’ over to the Libya Cafe on 131st.You comin’?” He looked up and saw his closest friend Robert Frost, “Naw, you go on ahead. I’ll catch up to you later.”

 Joseph and Robert were part of the 369th infantry regiment, formerly known as the New York Fifteenth National Guard, who spent 191 consecutive days on the front lines in the war-ravaged French countryside. He reflected back on the first day he and a rag-tag ensemble of fellow African-Americans fell into a hap-hazard formation in front of the same theater which he now sat on the front steps of. He also thought about the nonstop drilling and training at Camp Whitman that instilled in him and the rest of the NY15NG their first real sense of pride. After Whitman came remedial security detail, guarding rail lines and terminals in New York City. Eventually Joey and the 369th were shipped out to France. Joey thought the French were wonderful people, devoid of the bigotry and prejudice that white folk seemed all too willing to express stateside. The 369th was given as piecemeal to the French army by the US government to bolster their ranks, and the French soldiers were most accommodating hosts, showing a kindness and affection most of the 369th  had never seen in whites before the war. Joey thought about all the horrors he had seen and done during the war, and not for the first time gave thanks to the Lord for bringing him home in one piece. The Homecoming parade that ended not long before Joey took a seat on the steps of the old Lafayette had almost been as surreal as the war itself. As far as his eyes could see whites and blacks intermingled, holding miniature American Flags, cheering and waving the boys of the 369th on as the succession marched proudly through the streets of Harlem. It seemed too good to be true, Joey first thought, maybe this war would make a difference for black folks in the US after all.  That notion was quickly laid to rest though when Joey first gazed upon the newspaper he now absentmindedly clutched in his hand.

Before he enlisted, Joey was a bellhop at a small hotel in Queens, he despised the monotony of his humble profession and knew in his heart he was destined for more. When the opportunity presented itself in the late summer of 1916, Joey jumped on the chance to join the New York Fifteenth National Guard. Initially during drill, Joey and several other men who had also enlisted where given brooms instead of rifles to shoulder while in formation. The official explanation for this was that there was a shortage of rifles, but Joey suspected it had more to do with a lack of trust the white officers had in their black recruits. Eventually Joey and the rest of the NY15NG completed their training and were inducted into the ranks of the “proudest military in the world.” After training, the regiment was assigned to guard duty, but the boys were thirsty for action.

 In early December of 1917, the NY15NG were given their orders and were loaded onto transport ships, to be sailed across the Atlantic and sent to France. Upon arrival on New Year’s Day 1918, Joey and the rest of the NY15NG arrived in France and were greeted by the open arms of the French Poilus (an affectionate term for French soldiers meaning “hairy ones”). It was then that the New York Fifteenth National Guard was to be called the 369th infantry regiment. Joey and the rest of the 369th spent their first two months in France carrying out laborious tasks that were deemed “unfit” for white American soldiers. Joey never lost hope that he and the boys would get to see the action first hand. In March of 1918 Joeys wish was granted. The 369th was given to the French army to fill its impoverished ranks.

 In April, the men of the 369th got their first taste of combat. Joey and Robert were manning a trench facing the Hauzy Woods when they heard the Whiz-Pop of incoming German artillery. Diving head first into their trench Joey covered his head and prayed to God to see him through the hellish ordeal. Almost immediately after the artillery barrage subsided he heard the bloodcurdling shouts of the advancing Hun.  Peaking over the trench Joey leveled his French Lebel 1886 rifle while Robert readied the box of hand grenades. The Germans appeared through the fog almost as though they were apparitions. Joey squeezed the trigger of his rifle, pulled back the bolt, drove it back into battery and squeezed off another round, all the while Robert lobed the grenades.

  The exchange lasted a mere matter of minutes and the Huns vanished into the mist as quickly as they had appeared. The following months were much the same, long periods of boredom, penetrated briefly by moments of sheer adrenaline. Joey witnessed enough carnage and experienced enough loss to fill what he thought must be ten lifetimes. On January 10th, 1919, the 369th was ordered to stand down and sent home, nearly two months after the war had officially come to an end.

 When Joey and the rest of the 369th arrived in New York, a parade was organized in their honor. Joey put on his khaki uniform, straightened out the creases on his blouse, laced up his boots and met his fellow “Hellfighters” (the name bestowed upon the 369th by the Germans due to their tenacity in battle) outside of the regiments armory on February 18th 1919. After they all had fallen in rank, the orders were given to march. Joey thought for sure that his heart would jump out of his chest when they came around the corner onto Fifth Avenue. As far as he could see, whites and blacks stood shoulder to shoulder waving hats and flags, and singing praise for the fighting boys of the 369th. For the first time in his life Joey was truly proud to be an American. After the procession had ended and the crowd started to dwindle Joey’s eye was caught by a newspaper stand on the corner of the street. As Joey approached the vendor he saw a headline on the front page that smothered all euphoria he had in his very being. "The World’s" top story was not of gallant soldiers returning from the war to end all wars, but instead it read; “Frenzied Mob Lynches Negro Veteran in South Carolina.” This was the homecoming Joey had subconsciously been anticipating all the while. It was in that moment, Joey knew for sure, he was finally home.

EILEEN DE VILLA is a Canadian physician and public servant currently serving as the medical officer of health for the city of Toronto, Ontario, Canada and formerly as the medical officer of health for the region of Peel. She is an adjunct professor at the Dalla Lana School of Public Health at the University of Toronto. In 2020, de Villa oversaw Toronto's response to the COVID-19 pandemic in Ontario.

Early life and education

De Villa is the daughter of cardiologist Dr. Maria Antonina “Nenette” de Villa and obstetrician/gynecologist Dr. Guillermo “Jun” de Villa. She was born in Boston and briefly lived in the Philippines between 1972 and 1975 before her family fled to Canada.[1] Her parents were both influential in the Filipino community in Toronto, laying the groundwork for what is now the Filipino Centre Toronto.[2]

She attended Havergal College then McGill University, where she received her Bachelor of Science degree in psychology and women's studies in 1991.[3] When she graduated, she became an intern at the United Nations, moving to Vienna to work with the UN Industrial Development Organization supporting developing countries.[4] Through that experience, she became interested in international health.[5]

She then received her Master of Health Science degree in health promotion at the University of Toronto and continued securing internships through the United Nations, including one with the International Conference on Population and Development.[6]

De Villa then decided to go to medical school, receiving her medical degree from the University of Toronto in 1998. She completed her residency in public health and preventive medicine. She later received a Master of Business Administration from the Schulich School of Business at York University.

Career

In 2004, de Villa began her almost thirteen year tenure at the Regional Municipality of Peel Office of Health, where she ultimately became the medical officer of health, serving from October 2015 to March 2017. There, she worked on a number of public health issues, including vaccination and prevention of communicable diseases, such as sexually transmitted infections and tuberculosis.[7] She also oversaw the region's air quality and food and water safety.[8]

On March 27, 2017, de Vila began her term as the medical officer of health at Toronto Public Health after the retirement of David McKeown_._[9] She was appointed for her evidence-based approach to public health.[10] In this role, she has worked to combat the opioid epidemic in Toronto, advocating for a series of policies to expand public health services. Her recommended policies include the creation of a safer drug supply to reduce the need to buy drugs off the street, better support for under-served populations, and decriminalizing drugs.[11] In 2019, she has pushed back against budget cuts proposed by the Progressive Conservative provincial government under Premier Doug Ford, which would limit Toronto's resources for fighting the opioid crisis and other public health programs.[12] She has also criticized the administration for defunding supervised injection sites, which have reversed a significant number of overdoses since opening.

Under her leadership, Toronto Public Health has worked to combat misinformation around vaccine safety and has advocated for advertisers and social media platforms to clamp down on misleading anti-vaccination information.[13] She was also behind the call to ban vaccine exemptions because of religious or philosophical beliefs, though the government would still allow medical exemptions.[14][15] Toronto has seen a steady rise of such exemptions and are working to proactively prevent outbreaks of vaccine-preventable diseases.

Since Toronto saw its first case of COVID-19, the disease caused by SARS-CoV-2, on January 25, 2020, de Villa has been leading the city's response to the emerging pandemic.[16] Her office issued a number of recommendations to the mayor of Toronto, John Tory, to lock the city down as much as possible, advocating that measures stay in place for 12 weeks from April 1, 2020.[17] Tory has also set a fine of $1,000 for those convicted of violating social distancing guidelines of maintaining a distance of 2 meters or more.[18] De Villa has also used her authority under the _Health Protection and Promotion Act_ to order all individuals with COVID-19—as well as those who have been in contact with confirmed cases—to remain home for 14 days.[19]

De Villa sits on the McGill Women, Leadership & Philanthropy Board, working to increase the representation of women in positions of leadership, governance, and philanthropy.[20]
