	Cassidy Williams sits under the eaves of the coffee house, sipping her cafe au lait, peoplewatching. She's sympathizing with the rush of pedestrians hustling through the merciless rainstorm, but her face doesn't show it. Her face is slender, pale, and punctuated by a diagonal smattering of freckles. Normally she hides them behind large sunglasses, but she would look mad wearing lenses on this rainy afternoon. Her hair is short, and after repeated dyes, has taken on a brown ombre color.
	Out of the crowd of pedestrians, a man with a navy trench coat walks towards the cafe, and to Cassidy. He's carrying a Dunhill briefcase, brown. It matches his watch strap – Cartier. He's not short, and not tall; he's fifty-three years old: his face shows his years of service in WWI.
	“Good morning Ms. Klein.”
Cassidy smiles,
	“Good morning Benjamin.”
He sits down at the table and removes his hat.
	“Do you have the notes?”
	“Yes, I've already relayed them to the other senior officers.”
	“Good. May I ask what you're reading?”
	“Nietzche.”
	“Do you buy any of that stuff?”
	“Bits and pieces. He never lived to see what we have.”
They sit silent for a moment, Cassidy takes a sip of her coffee. The rain comes down in sheets, crashing  onto the cobblestone, and into the Seine.s
	“Do you believe in eternal return?”
	“I haven't got that far in the book.”
	“Fate, Ms. Klein. The world will undergo many deaths and rebirths, and perhaps there is the chance that we may be reborn again.”
	“Would that mean the Jews will need to be purified once again?”
	“Perhaps. Perhaps the world will occur in exactly the same way in which we have experienced it. Perhaps we will have this same conversation at some point far in the future-”
	“Or will it be in antiquity?”
	“I don't know. Do you believe in the possibility?”
	“I suppose, but that would mean surrendering to ones fate. I don't take kindly to that notion.”
Benjamin looked at Ms. Williams with a gaze of equal parts admiration and hunger.
	“I suppose you wouldn't Ms. Klein.” Benjamin reaches into his briefcase and pulls out a file folder, and it flays open with a picture of the short-haired, freckled Sandra Klein, with a name and nationality: Cassidy Williams – American.
	In horror, Cassidy's teal eyes widen and her mouth parts. She grabs her handbag and rushes out into the rainstorm. Four men in dark green trench coats rise from the cafe tables and walk in her direction.
	“It's useless to run Ms. Williams! We've got you surrounded!”
Cassidy bolts down the narrow streets of Paris, past bakeries, hotels, and studios, but the German military troops are close behind. Benjamin walks in the back, neither short nor tall, but undoubtedly with a new air of power. The German troops rush into a hotel Cassidy dashed into. Gunshots. Benjamin quickens his pace. He walks into the hotel casually, but the door slams shut behind him – it's too late. Inside the hotel is an entire unit of American troops. The German officers are at gunpoint. An American soldier apprehends Benjamin, Cassidy walks up to him.
	“Either in antiquity or in the future, I'll enjoy this moment each time.”
Benjamin spits.

ONE WEEK LATER – FEBRUARY 1945, LANGLOIS, WASHINGTON

“And you can confirm this is how it happened Ms. Williams?”
“Indeed.”
“Good, then I think we're all done here.”
“Just um, one more thing.”
“Yes?”
“Is he still here, Benjamin?”
“If you mean Col. Meier, yes. Third floor.”
“Can I speak with him?”
“About the ransacking? Or the development?”
“If you mean the bombing of Dresden, then yes, the development.”
“You can have five minutes, yes.”

I walk out of the bare room and shut the door behind me. The hallway is crowded in a bustle of suits and chatter. I walk to the stairway. Upstairs, third floor. Upstairs behind a series of doors, behind guards and bars of steel, there he is. Col. Benjamin Meier.
	“You're a sick son of a bitch.” He's silent.
	“When we found the POWs, they were emaciated. Some were unrecognizable. I can only imagine what you've done with the Jews.”
	Still, silent.
	“However, I can't say that I agree with the events that took place in Dresden. I know that was your hometown Benjamin.”
	“It was completely engulfed in flames. The screams of the innocent could be heard for miles. You're the sick ones.”
	“No, no one here is innocent Benjamin. Fire for fire can only breed more hatred, and I worry for the future.”
	“Don't, you'll see the future once more.”
	“Perhaps we can replay this again like civil humans in time.”
	“Perhaps.”
	“Perhaps.”

title: Spy vs Spy (for lack of better name)

question: Summarize the plot of the story.

answer: Cassidy Williams is a character spying on Benjamin as he discusses German military plans with Cassidy. The information that Cassidy passes onto the military helps them win the war. Cassidy runs from the cafe she was in when Benjamin reveals to her that he is actually German (the time period is WWII). She is surrounded by German military men and is shot. She wakes up in a hospital, where she meets Benjamin who is a colonel in the German military. The two talk and Cassidy reveals that she knows Benjamin took some Jews prisoner and treated them as horribly as he could. Cassidy still hasn't provided information on when the Germans bombed Dresden.

critique: Cassidy is not spying on Benjamin. Benjamin is a German colonel who wants to know about Cassidy's information.

critique: Cassidy doesn't provide information on the bombing of Dresden.

critique: Cassidy did not go through the memories of the war. Benjamin and Cassidy are the same person. The time period is no longer WWII, it's the present.

text: The events depicted in the answer are made up.

question: Summarize the setting of the story.

answer: The story takes place in the cafe, on the streets of Paris, and in a hotel.

critique: The story also takes place in a bare room in Langlois, Washington.

critique: It is omitted that the cafe is located in Paris.

critique: The answer should mention the time period.

critique: The answer should mention the rainstorm.

question: Summarize the conversations Cassidy had with Benjamin.

answer: Cassidy and Benjamin have a conversation about the notes. They also talk about eternal return. Cassidy and Benjamin have another conversation about the notes.

critique: The answer should mention the fact that Benjamin is a German officer.

critique: The answer should mention that Cassidy is revealed to be a spy.

critique: "They also talk about eternal return" - is incorrect. Benjamin discusses eternal return and Cassidy has a conversation with him.

critique: The answer omits their conversation about fate.

critique: The answer should mention that Cassidy and Benjamin discuss the possibility of the world repeating itself.

critique: Cassidy only has one conversation with Benjamin about the notes.

__NOTOC__

_WILDLIFE_ is the second collaboration between Anthony Phillips and Joji Hirota. The album is culled from recordings made between 1994 and 2000 when Anthony and Joji collaborated on a number of soundtracks for wildlife television programmes in the British _Survival_ series. In addition, Anthony also wrote and recorded the music for a programme in the BBC series _Natural World_.

_Wildlife_ features selections from the music for the programmes _Creatures of the Magic Water_ (tracks 1-6), _Secrets of the Amazon_ (tracks 7-11), _Jaguar: Eater of Souls_ (tracks 12-13), _Serengeti Jigsaw_ (tracks 14-15), _Web of the Spider Monkey_ (track 16), _Dungeons & Dragons_ (tracks 17-22), _Secrets of a Norfolk Wood_ (tracks 23-25), _Bears of the Russian Front_ (tracks 26-30), _Gremlins: Faces in the Forest_ (track 31), _Jurassic Shark_ (tracks 32-38), and _Midway - Island of Life_ (tracks 39-45).

All programmes represented come from the _Survival_ series except “Midway - Island of Life” which comes from _Natural World_.

Several of the _Survival_ programmes were filmed by the late Nick Gordon and the sleeve notes for the album include Ant's specially written tribute to Nick.

_Wildlife_ was released in Japan by Disk Union on Arcangelo Records and by Voiceprint Records for the Rest of the World. The Japanese release was in a limited edition mini-vinyl sleeve.

grifting as a digital gangster will insure that you never become poor, so long as you lower your moral standards.

you will need:
a stolen paypal account that doesn't belong to me or a fellow dg
(stolen paypal accounts are fairly easy to come by - a lot of people use the same password for their email and their bank and their porn site, you fill in the blank on that one)
balls
sunglasses and a hat

first, find a thing you want on ebay being sold in a general locality you find yourself in that ends in a few days or is set buy it now by a private seller.

contact the seller and tell them that your brother's/sister's/cousin's/pastor's birthday is TOMORROW, and the thing that they have for sale is exactly what your brother/sister/cousin/pastor has been raving about and you can't find it anywhere. tell them you want to come over and check it out, and you will buy it immediately if they end the auction early for 20% above what the current bid is at (what do you care, it isn't your money) or if it is buy it now, just say you want to roll over and peep that lil whodi before you commit.

roll over to their crib in your "disguise" and check out the item. tell them you don't have the cash on you, but you have plenty of simoleans in your paypal account. ask to use their computer.

sign on to the stolen paypal from their computer and pay the seller some stolen money from their computer, giving them a firm handshake as you exit the premises.

ride off into the sunset like a boss. optional: if you bought a go-kart, ride off in that.

when the seller finally catches wind that he/she has been scammed, they will tell the police that some guy came over to their house, used their computer, and paid for their item using a stolen paypal.

likely story.

the officers take this statement from the seller but they aren't exactly buying the story. one policeman turns to his partner and gives him a slight nod, and the seller (let's assume the seller is male) gets arrested and rides in the squad car to the county jail.

in county, he has a couple visitors from family and friends, but no one wants to bail him out. you see, he had a history of alcoholism and generally treated his kids like shit, and most everyone in the neighborhood knew it. his wife is glad she is finally away from his verbal and physical abuse, and while she secretly believes his story is genuine, welcomes the fact that finally, some karmic balance has been restored to the world.

while awaiting trial, his wife (with the help of a local attorney) files divorce papers to dissolve their marriage of six years. he paces his jail cell and the common area, clutching his divorce papers, weeping softly, wondering if he had just been a slightly more attentive husband and went to his AA meetings regularly, if this whole mess ever would have happened.

at his trial, the judge reads aloud what he has been charged with, and if he has anything to say for himself.

"NO," he exclaims to the judge. "I AM NOT GUILTY!"

fighting back tears, he scans the courtroom - his friends and family are nowhere to be seen. the jury continues staring the defendant down with obvious contempt as the prosecution mounts their case. the prosecutor, a young, handsome hotshot, makes eye contact with the dumbfounded ebay seller. if there is one thing he learned in law school, it is that the face of this seller in particular is clearly showing no remorse for his actions.

following the conclusion of the defense's unconvincing, public-defender-esque argument, the judge bangs his gavel and the jury convenes to deliberate the case. no character witness has come forward to attest that deep down, our seller truly is a nice person, just misguided and damaged. his youth was marked with abuse, and he knew no better than to follow the same example in adulthood.

in no less than fifteen minutes, the jury returns. slowly, the dejected seller rises to his feet, fidgeting nervously.

"...we find the defendant guilty, " the jury foreman states with a hint of disdain in his voice.

sentenced to one year in prison, the seller begins writing a memoir detailing his experience as a child and the subsequent problems that followed. collect call after collect call, letter after letter, he continues to profess his innocence to his estranged ex-wife and children. after going through a series of substandard boyfriends, his ex-wife finally realizes that perhaps the seller is not such a bad guy after all, and the experience of jail has changed him for the better; she decides to contact a better lawyer and begin to mount an appeal to set her ex-husband free.

one day in the common area, a fight breaks out between the seller and a former gang member (who was incarcerated for a drug distribution charge) over a pair of stolen slippers. amidst the confusion, the seller accidentally stabs a correctional officer, severely wounding him. this effectively erased ALL of the good time the seller had accumulated (3 months) and he was sent to administrative segregation for his crime.

a judge finds the seller guilty of assault with a deadly weapon against a correctional officer and extends his prison sentence seven years. it would have been longer but his ex-wife, in a show of newfound love and respect, asked the judge for leniency in his case. she truly believed her former lover had turned over a new leaf, and had begun marking a calendar, counting the days until she could be with her husband again.

after fulfilling his debt to society (which actually began as your debt to society), the seller is released from prison, his memoirs now 800 pages thick. his children, once bright-eyed elementary school students, were now in high school. even though their father was in jail, it seems they turned out to be responsible young adults, making the honor roll and abstaining from drugs and alcohol use.

watching the news on a lazy sunday afternoon, you recognize your victim's mugshot as they tell his story and discuss his memoirs. realizing the error of your ways, you drive to his house in your stolen go-kart and ring the doorbell. the seller answers the door.

"hello seller," you quietly mumble. "you probably don't remember me, but i am the reason you went to jail many years ago."

after a few seconds of uneasy silence, the man replies.

"yes, i remember. for the longest time, i thought about nothing but getting revenge on you. you took my family away from me. you took my youth. you took my go-kart..."

a lump forms in your throat as his eyes well up with tears. he continues:

"if it wasn't for you, though, i never would have faced my past demons. since i've been out of jail, i have a boundless appreciation for life, my kids and my wife love me unconditionally, and i have been clean and sober for a long time. i owe it all to you."

"come on, " you say, putting your hand on the man's shoulder. "let's take a ride."

turn to page 127 if you drive the man to the bar and get him piss drunk, breaking his pledge of sobriety.
turn to page 120 if you email oprah to consider making him into a best-selling author with his memoirs.

title: How to get away with PayPal fraud in a few easy steps

question: Summarize everything the defendant had done wrong.

answer: The defendant has a history of alcoholism, child abuse and general thuggery. He had treated his wife poorly and all his 'friends' did not wish to put up bail. He had made the mistake of buying stolen goods which the ebay seller had accepted and he had used a stolen Paypal account to pay for it. He was also in possession of a stolen go-kart when he was caught and arrested.

critique: The answer is a summary of the seller's life, not the defendant's.

critique: The response is missing the part where the defendant accidentally stabbed a correctional officer.

critique: The answer should mention that the defendant was found guilty of the crime of fraud.

critique: The exact source of the defendant's anger is omitted.

question: What happens when the scam artist confronts his victim?

answer: The man implies that he has forgiven the scam artist and accepts his life path.

critique: The answer is incorrect and should be rewritten.

critique: The answer should mention that the seller invites the scam artist to take a ride with him.

text: The answer misses to mention that the victim thanked the scam artist for allowing him to face his demons and since getting out of jail, he has a new appreciation for life and his family.

category: coverage

question: How does the scam artist originally get his victim?

answer: The scam artist finds a collectable item that is being auctioned online and contacts the seller regarding the item. He tells the seller he has to act quickly, because he's giving the item as a gift to someone tomorrow. The scam artist offers to pay more than the current bid (but less than the buy it now price) and he/she asks to come over and look at the item. Once they get there, they ask to use the seller's computer. After signing in to their stolen Paypal account, they pay the seller for the item.

critique: The answer should mention that the scam artist uses a stolen Paypal account.

critique: The scam artist doesn't tell the seller he's giving the item as a gift to someone tomorrow.

critique: The scam artist doesn't tell the seller he's giving the item as a gift.

critique: "He tells the seller he has to act quickly, because he's giving the item as a gift to someone tomorrow. The scam artist offers to pay more than the current bid (but less than the buy it now price) and he/she asks to come over and look at the item. Once they get there, they ask to use the seller's computer. After signing in to their stolen Paypal account, they pay the seller for the item." This is worded wrongly and should be rewritten.

text: The answer inaccurately mentions that the scam artist offers to buy it less than the buy it now price.

Mother knows best. At least it's true for a pile of successful founders and CEOs who point to their mothers for steering them in the right directions. Check out the stellar advice they say they'll never forget.

1. Always remember where you came from.

"My mom was tough with me on my academic achievements and always expected the best from me and my siblings. But she led by example, graduating at the top of her class from med school, getting a master's while we were in elementary school, and a PhD she finished just two years ago. She did all of this while working full time. Her continuous striving for knowledge and personal growth is inspiring to me as a woman. One of the most memorable pieces of advice she gave me was 'Never forget where you came from.'  This is a sentence I have never forgotten, living now so far from where I grew up--Tijuana--and in such a different reality. I remind myself constantly of the blessings I've received and now to be where I am. Remembering where you came from is also remembering who has been with you all along."

--Alexandra Zatarain, co-founder of Eight, a nonwearable sleep tracker that senses and analyzes more than 15 factors from a person's sleep patterns and bedroom environment, to determine the conditions that encourage optimal rest

2. Don't go to jail.

"Our mother always told us that confidence is what will make or break whatever you do, whether it comes to relationships or work. Be confident in your decisions but still take ownership of your mistakes. [Doing so] makes you more credible in the long term. That, and don't go to jail."

--Emily Motayed and Lee Mayer, sisters and co-founders of the online interior design platform Havenly

3. Never take shortcuts.

"My mother and I are close, and one of the best pieces of advice she has given was that throughout life's journey, never take shortcuts and always trust your employees by showing them respect. This always shows integrity, and helps empower and encourage everyone to work together and do their best."

--Constantin Bisanz, founder and CEO of on-the-go wellness company Aloha

4. Wake up with a smile or change something.

"Work hard and have fun. The more hours you invest, the more you get things done. But it is also key to remember that if you don't wake up with a smile, do something else. Simple as that."

--Magnus Larsson, CEO of Rebtel, a mobile communications company offering unlimited international calling to mobile phones and landlines for a nominal monthly rate

5. Build something you love.

"I grew up an only child, raised by a single mother. My mother worked her ass off to raise me, and it wasn't easy. She taught me to work hard to cultivate and build something you love, and something special: In her case, it was me. In my case--right now--it's [my app], Overnight. I'm lucky that I got to see this kind of work ethic, and it's the most impactful example that has shaped me into who I am today. No matter how hard it could be, just keep climbing, and something great will come out of it. That's your only choice when you have something special you're bringing up."

--Asher Hunt, co-founder and CEO of Overnight, an app for booking last-minute spaces with local hosts

6. Always stay active.

"My mother has always represented persistence, confidence, and a can-do attitude. She regularly woke up at 4:30 a.m. to drive me to crew practice and then jump in a boat herself to learn to row and race in the master's program. Next, she took on golf and at 60-plus years old is regularly ranked in the top women at PGA National and Jonathan's Landing clubs in Florida. My parents supported my brother and me in any undertaking we embarked on, as long as we agreed to give it our all."

--Erin Sykes, founder and CEO of Mission 360, a curated community dedicated to empowering people seeking a stronger body, enriched spirit, and expanded mind

7. Stay exactly the way you are.

"My mum is a true fighter ... She always motivated me to push my limits and elevate to excellence in any space that I was in. I have a Christmas card that I still carry with me in my wallet every day. It must have been more than 10 years ago that I got it and it translates to: 'Dear Pia, Stay exactly the way you are--headstrong, determined, with your heart in the right place.'"

--Pia Poppenreiter, co-founder and CEO of Ohlala, a paid dating app that connects people to instant dates on demand

8. Everything is possible.

"My mother is an amazing woman who is a little eccentric and has the strongest momentum. I think the best advice she's ever given me is that everything is possible and the world is yours, and to remember that everything is created by people who are no smarter than you."

--Michael Cassau, founder and CEO of ByeBuy, a startup that grants unlimited access to gadgets via a subscription program.

9. Know which pocket to reach into.

"My mom is a fascinating woman. Beautiful as she is brilliant, she could've spent her life immersed in academic or professional pursuits had she not birthed me and my sisters. Instead, this highly educated, accomplished woman chose to focus all her efforts on raising us and caring for our every need. She would always say that in one pocket you keep a note that says 'the whole world was built for me' and in the other pocket a note that says 'my only purpose is to serve others.' All of life is knowing when to reach into which pocket. As I grow older, I keep discovering new layers of depth to this saying."

--Asher Weinberger, co-founder and CEO of Twillory, a New York City-based startup that provides quality dress shirts at a fair price

10. Take risks and go on adventures.

"My mom has taught me how to be independent, while always putting family first. When I broke both knees while kite surfing, she took care of me and still encouraged me to get back out there once I was healed. Starting when I was 4 years old, she would send me to Argentina alone to spend the summer with my grandparents and cousins. At first, this was a terrifying experience, but over time I become quite the little world traveler. When it comes to work-life balance, my mom is a total rock star. She has always had her own successful business, while juggling family and lots of overseas adventures."

--Eric Sanchez, founder and CEO of the smart action camera company REVL

[]The MacGuffin is a device use by script writers, particularly in action and adventure films, to advance the action and maintain the audiences interest.

The term coined was by Alfred Hitchcock. He generally used it as a device to hold together the first part of his film. What is it? Anything which all the characters are interested in obtaining. In Psycho the MacGuffin is the $40,000 which has been stolen. The pursuit of this money provides the motivation which holds all the characters together in the first part of the film without giving away the whole plot. Hitchcock generally only used it as a device to hold together the first act. Ultimately, Hitchcock said the MacGuffin is just not important ‘It is nothing.’ Who for instance remembers the $40,000 in Psycho?

The Coen brother always use the same MacGaffin in each of their films: money, and it is always a red-herring. In their film ‘O Brother Where Art Thou’ which is one of my all time favourite movies, three convicts break out of prison to retrieve a large stash of money. We learn later that the money was a hoax, but it keeps the film moving and gives everyone a purpose until the true objective is revealed.

In the film Safe, which I watched last night, the MacGuffin is a little girl who knows something. The protagonist and most of the Antagonists have no idea why the girl is important or what secret she knows, all they know is that their enemies are pulling out all the stops to find her, so she becomes important to them too.  Not until three-quarters of the way through the film do they discover what the chase, and the rising body count, is all about.  A clever script, I thought, and a theme I would like to use in a future story.

Steven Spielberg and George Lucas also use the MacGuffin as a device in their films.  In the original Star Wars movie, Lucas says R2D2 was the MacGuffin, which he used to hold the first act together in the classic Hitchcock way.  Spielberg, on the other hand, has a different view of the MacGuffin. For him, the MacGuffin must always be the ultimate prize.  Here the device is used to motivate the characters throughout the whole film.  The best examples are from the Indians Jones Series: in Raiders Of The Lost Ark, the MacGuffin is the Ark of the Covenant; In The Temple Of Doom, the holy stones; In The Last Crusade, it is the Holy Grail; In the Crystal Skull it is the skull. In fact, Spielberg likes the MacGuffin technique so much he is happy to have more than one. Not only will he have an overall MacGuffin, but he will have minor MacGuffins in each act of the film.

A MacGuffin is normally an object, but could be a person, that all the characters are interested in and that propels the action forwards. It could be the main objective of the protagonist and antagonist which drives the action throughout the entire film. It could be a step on the way to the main objective or it could be totally unrelated to the main objective and be completely forgotten by the end of the film. It’s purpose is solely to provide focus and move the action along. It’s a technique which readily transposes to writing.

In Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows you could say that the Horuxes and the Hallows are MacGuffins. They provide the necessary focus and motivation to propel the action forwards.  In my book Gaia’s Brood, the MacGuffin is Eve Swift’s journal.

A MacGuffin can also be a useful fix if you are editing and you realise your story just doesn’t hang together. Is there an object/person already in the story which can be turned into a MacGuffin (even if it is a complete red-herring) or can you introduce one. Look for ‘shotgun’ objects. By that I mean have you focused on an object in a part of the story but not used it – like the proverbial shotgun hanging behind the bar in a western: if it is shown it must be used by the end of the film, but nothing says you need to reserve it for the end of the story. If the pursuit or desire of the object will hold together the first act, by all means use it as a MacGuffin, secure in the knowledge that you are following in the footsteps of the greats.

So when you are next planning your adventure or action story, consider whether you have a MacGuffin or whether you need one. How many MacGuffins do you need? One overall object to provide a focus for the entire story or several steps along the way, or both. How about one to propel a (sub) story along, or maybe a total red-herring?

LORENZO TUCKER (June 27, 1907 – August 19, 1986), known as the “Black Valentino,” was an American stage and screen actor who played the romantic lead in the early black films of Oscar Micheaux.

Acting career

Born in Philadelphia, Tucker started acting at Temple University where he was a student.[1] Tucker also appeared early in his career with Bessie Smith on cross-country tours.[2]

From 1926 to 1946, Tucker appeared in 18 of Micheaux's films, including _When Men Betray_ (1928); _Wages of Sin_ (1929); _Easy Street_ (1930); _Harlem Big Show_, _Veiled Aristocrats_ (1932); _Ten Minutes To Live_ (1932); _Harlem After Midnight_ (1934); _Temptation_ (1935); and _Underworld_ (1937).[3] He became known as the “Black Valentino” because of his good looks and role as the romantic lead in the early black cinema.[4] Tucker noted the irony of the appellation since he believed Rudolph Valentino had a darker complexion than Tucker.[5] He became a movie star to black America and was often mentioned in the leading black newspapers.[6] One of Micheaux and Tucker's most controversial films was _Veiled Aristocrats_ where Tucker played a black man who passed as white and tried to persuade his sister also to pass for white.[7] He also made an uncredited cameo appearance with Paul Robeson in 1933's _The Emperor Jones_.

Tucker was also a successful stage actor, appearing on Broadway in _The Constant Sinner_, _Ol' Man Satan_, and _Humming Sam_. His most controversial role came in _The Constant Sinner_ in which he portrayed a pimp, Money Johnson, and in which Mae West was his prostitute, Babe Gordon. Though miscegenation was still outlawed in some parts of the south, the play included a scene in which Tucker kissed West. When the play opened in Washington, D.C., the press was outraged to see a black man kissing a white woman, and demands were made that the scene be excised from the play. West rejected demands, and the play left Washington.[8] The Shuberts refused to permit Tucker to play the role, and white actor George Givot was hired to play the role wearing blackface.[9] Despite the Shuberts' decision, West cast Tucker in a few minor parts, including the role of a Spaniard who walks across the stage. When a woman asks West's character who that is, West responded, “Oh, he's Spanish — he's my Spanish fly!”

Later years

During World War II, Tucker was a tail gunner in the U.S. Army Air Corps.[10] After the war, Tucker appeared in Louis Jordan's film _Reet, Petite and Gone_; in the early 1950s, he returned to the stage appearing in a London production of _Anna Lucasta_.

Tucker later became an autopsy technician for the New York City medical examiner, where he worked on the bodies of Malcolm X and Nina Mae McKinney.[11]

Tucker died of lung cancer at age 79 at his home in Hollywood, California. His funeral took place at Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church.[12]

Honors and awards

In 1974, Tucker was inducted into the Black Film Makers Hall of Fame,[13] and he received the Audelco Recognition Award in 1981.[14] On the November 14, 1985 “Denise Drives” episode of _The Cosby Show_, Clair Huxtable quizzes Denise Huxtable on car safety asking if she should stop her car for a stranger on a dark rainy night with “hair like Lorenzo Tucker, eyes like Billy Dee and a smile like Nat King Cole.”[15]

title: Lorenzo Tucker

question: What does the article say about racial issues?

answer: Tucker appeared on the controversial play "The Constant Sinner", in which he played a pimp and Mae West was his prostitute. The Shuberts refused to allow Tucker to do this so the role was given to a white actor wearing blackface. Despite this, West still cast Tucker in minor parts. Tucker's funeral took place at Blessed Sacrament.

critique: The response does not answer the question.

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

critique: The response is missing the racial issues surrounding Tucker's career and personal life.

critique: The answer should mention the controversy around the play.

critique: The response is missing the racial issues that the article mentions.

question: Summarize Tucker's career outside of the film industry.

answer: Tucker was a successful stage actor. He appeared on Broadway in The Constant Sinner, Ol' Man Satan, and Humming Sam. He was also a successful autopsy technician for the New York City medical examiner.

critique: Does not mention his time in the US Army Air Corps.

critique: Objectively, Tucker's most important experience outside of the film industry was his time in the U.S. Army Air Corps as a tail gunner. This should be included in a summary.

critique: The last sentence is irrelevant to the question.

critique: The response is missing the part about Tucker being a tail gunner in the U.S. Army Air Corps during World War II.

critique: The answer should mention his service in the U.S. Army Air Corps.

critique: The answer omits Tucker's work during World War II.

critique: The answer should mention his military service.

question: Summarize Tucker's personal life.

answer: No answer

critique: The article has some information about Tucker's personal life.

question: Summarize Tucker's relationship with Oscar Micheaux.

answer: No answer

critique: The article clearly states Tucker appeared in 18 of Micheaux's films.

BOSUTINIB (rINN/USAN; codenamed SKI-606, marketed under the trade name BOSULIF) is a small molecule BCR-ABL and src tyrosine kinase inhibitor used for the treatment of chronic myelogenous leukemia.

Originally synthesized by Wyeth, it is being developed by Pfizer.

Mechanism

It is an ATP-competitive Bcr-Abl tyrosine-kinase inhibitor with an additional inhibitory effect on SRc family kinases (including Src, Lyn and Hck).[1][2] It has also shown activity against the receptors for platelet derived growth factor and vascular endothelial growth factor.[3] Bosutinib inhibited 16 of 18 imatinib-resistant forms of Bcr-Abl expressed in murine myeloid cell lines, but did not inhibit T315I and V299L mutant cells.[4]

Bosutinib is metabolized through CYP3A4.

Medical uses

Bosutinib received US FDA and EU European Medicines Agency approval on September 4, 2012 and 27 March 2013 respectively for the treatment of adult patients with Philadelphia chromosome-positive (Ph+) chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) with resistance, or intolerance to prior therapy.[5][6][7][8]

Adverse effects

VERY COMMON (>10% FREQUENCY): [9]

-   Diarrhoea (~82%)
-   Arterial occlusive events such as stroke or heart attack (44% in patients with chronic myeloid leukemia).[10]
-   Nausea
-   Myelosuppression[11]
-   Vomiting (~37%)
-   Abdominal pain
-   Raised ALT
-   Raised AST
-   Rash
-   Arthralgia (joint pain)
-   Fever
-   Oedema
-   Fatigue
-   Cough
-   Headache
-   Reduced appetite
-   Respiratory tract infection[12]

COMMON (1-10% FREQUENCY):

-   Drug hypersensitivity
-   Dehydration
-   Hyperkalaemia (high blood potassium)
-   Hypophosphataemia (low blood phosphate)
-   Dizziness
-   Dysgeusia (distorted sense of taste)
-   Pericardial effusion
-   Pleural effusion
-   QT interval prolongation
-   Shortness of breath
-   Gastritis (stomach swelling)
-   Hepatotoxicity (liver dysfunction/damage)
-   Abnormal LFTs
-   Elevated blood bilirubin levels
-   GGT increased
-   Acne
-   Itchiness
-   Hives
-   Myalgia (muscle aches)
-   Back pain
-   Kidney failure
-   Chest pain
-   Pain
-   Muscle weakness
-   Increased lipase
-   Increased blood creatinine
-   Increased blood amylase level
-   Elevated blood creatine phosphokinase

UNCOMMON (0.1-1% FREQUENCY):

-   Agranulocytosis
-   Anaphylactic reactions
-   Tinnitus (ringing in the ears)
-   Pericarditis
-   Respiratory failure
-   Acute pulmonary oedema
-   Pulmonary hypertension
-   Acute pancreatitis
-   Gastrointestinal haemorrhage
-   Liver injury
-   Erythema multiforme
-   Erythroderma
-   Drug eruption
-   Acute kidney failure
-   Renal impairment

Contraindications

Bosutinib has two known absolute contraindications, which are: known hypersensitivity to bosutinib and liver impairment.[13][14]

Interactions

Bosutinib is both a substrate and an inhibitor of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) and CYP3A4.[15] Hence P-gp and CYP3A4 inhibitors may increase plasma levels of bosutinib.[16] Likewise CYP3A4 inducers may reduce plasma concentrations of bosutinib.[17] It may also alter the metabolism and uptake (into the GIT by means of its P-gp inhibitory effects) of other drugs that are substrates for P-gp and CYP3A4.[18]

[WEE1 kinase domain in complex with bosutinib.]

Carcinogenicity and mutagenicity

Animal studies using up to three-times the clinical exposure (in terms of AUC) to bosutinib have failed to demonstrate any carcinogenic effects.[19] Mutagenic and clastogenic effects were not detected _in vitro_.[20]

Quality issues

Some commercial stocks of bosutinib (from sources other than the Pfizer material used for clinical trials) have recently been found to have the incorrect chemical structure, calling the biological results obtained with them into doubt.[21]

Every new technology causes initial public discomfort. It took society a long time to accept cell phones as commonplace. Before that, television. And before that, tractors.

So when people scoffed at Google Glass, I rolled my eyes. “Here we go again,” I thought. “Knee-jerk objection to new technology.”

The biggest concern seems to be distraction. Google Glass looks like a pair of glasses, minus the lenses; it's just a band across your forehead, with a tiny screen mounted at the upper-right side. By tapping the earpiece and using spoken commands, you direct it to do smartphone-ish tasks, such as fielding a calendar alert and finding a nearby sushi restaurant.

Just what we need, right? People reading texts and watching movies while they drive and attaining new heights of rudeness by scanning their e-mail during face-to-face conversation.

Those are misguided concerns. When I finally got to try Google Glass, I realized that they don't put anything in front of your eyes. You still make eye contact when you talk. You still see the road ahead. The screen is so tiny, it doesn't block your normal vision.

Hilarious parody videos show people undergoing all kinds of injury while peering at the world through a screen cluttered with alerts and ads. But that's not quite how it works. You glance up now and then, exactly as you would check your phone. But because you don't have to look down and dig around in your pocket, you could argue that there's _less_ distraction. By being so hands-free, it should be incredibly handy.

Even so, Google Glass might have a tough slog ahead for social acceptance. Not just because of the price ($1,500 to developers, perhaps $750 when it becomes publicly available in 2014). Not just because it's another gadget you have to charge every night.

No, the biggest obstacle is the smugness of people who wear Glass—and the deep discomfort of everyone who doesn't.

For a year now Google employees and celebrities have been allowed to wear Glass. But when I ran into a Google employee wearing it in public and had a conversation with her, the interaction was screamingly uncomfortable.

There she was, wearing this creepy-looking, faux-futuristic forehead band—with a built-in video camera pointed at my face. For all I knew, it _was_ recording me. (A little “recording” light is supposed to come on when Glass is recording. But this Googler was wearing an engineering sample, not the finished product. Besides, it'll probably take about a day for someone to come up with a recording app that doesn't activate the light.)

This puts Glass wearers in a position of control. They can take pictures and videos, post things online and even possibly use face-recognition apps to identify strangers in a crowd.

Months before Glass's public launch, one Seattle bar has already banned them. The patrons “definitely don't want to be secretly filmed or videotaped and immediately put on the Internet,” the bar's owner told a local radio station.

Maybe you like being on camera, maybe you don't. But either way, the assumption nowadays is that you _know_ you're on camera. With Google Glass, nobody's pointing a camera, camcorder or phone. You no longer know if you're being filmed by your conversation partner. An unspoken social rule is being violated. I didn't like it. I wanted her to take the damn thing off.

All these factors explain why Internet wags have already come up with a nickname for people who wear these special glasses: Glassholes. If Google's not careful, Glass will go the way of the Segway. It will be another stunning technology achievement, ultimately doomed to nichehood by the pure awkwardness, the attention-grubbing self-centeredness, of using it in public.

DAVID POGUE is the personal-technology columnist for the _New York Times_ and an Emmy Award–winning correspondent for _CBS News_.

question: Summarize the concerns people have about Google Glass.

answer: People are concerned about how easily the device can secretly record people, and how it makes social conversation even more uncomfortable than usual. The product also costs around $1500, and you have to consistently charge it, which some find annoying.

critique: Instead of listing off fact-based information, the summary should try to convey what actually concerns people about the technology. "People began to be more self-aware of their behaviour because they like to be on camera."

critique: The cost of the device is not a concern.

critique: The answer omits the distraction concern.

critique: The answer omits the distractions of using the device.

critique: The answer omits the distraction concerns.

critique: The answer omits the distraction factor.

question: What does the article say about the obstacles that might prevent Google Glass from gaining social acceptance?

answer: The biggest obstacle is the smugness of people who wear Glass-and the deep discomfort of everyone who doesn't. The price is also a factor. The other factor is the recording feature, which could be used to spy on people and violate privacy.

critique: The answer omits the social discomfort that comes with not knowing if you're being filmed.

critique: It's omitted that the social factor is also a big part of the obstacle Google Glass faces.

critique: The answer omits the social discomfort of people who don't wear Glass.

critique: The article does not mention the price as an obstacle.

critique: The answer should mention the social rule being violated.

critique: The answer omits the social discomfort of the people who don't wear Glass.

critique: The article does not mention that the price is also a factor.

question: What does the article say about the development process for Google Glass?

answer: No answer

critique: The answer should mention that the article does not cover the development process.

Excerpts’ from “The Journal”

This is one of the journal entries from a book called “The Journal”.

Let me know what you think........

::

January 10th 7:55 am

It’s snowing. Still the first one here. I hate the snow. It took me 2 hours to drive to work and I smoked all my cigarettes. My head hurts. I have had the same head ache for 6 months. It seems to only go away when I am drunk or high. I remember a time in my life when I loved the snow. I was born in February, so snow was always reminded me of my birthday and that was exciting. I hate my birthday now too. I need more cigarettes.
I think it is the craziest shit in the world to go to work and pretend to be happy or excited to be there; when you are dying inside. If people acted the way they felt, everyone would fucking hate everybody. I hate the background noise of casual conversation. Who cares about your weekend, you’re probably telling me a lie about what you did anyway; so that you can think that I still respect you. If I told you the truth about what I did this weekend, you would think I’m fucking nuts. I can just imagine that conversation with these Midwest jerkoffs. “Oh, hey Bob, how was your weekend”? “Good, just relaxing, how ‘bout yours”? “Good, you know, the usual, got piss drunk wasted, blew coke in a bar’s bathroom until my nose was clogged and then spent Sunday masturbating in between throwing up”. Fuck these people. We have nothing in common. I am constantly acting. It’s hard not to curse.
I love coffee. I love coffee with cigarettes. I sometimes day dream about how awesome it was when you could smoke at your desk and basically anywhere you wanted. I have an old Playboy that shows add for TWA, where the hot stewardess is lighting the business man’s cigarette. That is awesome. But, I still think its ass backwards to smoke indoors. I hate the way you stink the next day after going to a bar that lets you smoke inside. It also seems to bring in the morons. I hate bar games. You can still smoke inside in my home town.  I hate my home town.
My dogs will probably shit inside my house today; they won’t go in the snow. They are good dogs though. We got them from the pound and they were abused as puppies. They have little scares on their feet from their cages at the puppy mills. What kind of soulless piece of trash do you have to be to abuse a fucking puppy? They were a gift to my fiancé.
We are getting married in September and moving to LA the first of the year. This is all I think about. I can’t wait to get out of here. I once planned to move there, but chickened out because I had to do it alone. Pussy. Now I have her and she wants to move there too, so it’s perfect. I don’t care if I have to be a bartender; at least it’s not here. At least there is some fucking culture and life and art and something to do besides, drink yourself to death every fucking weekend.  I am excited for every moment of our move; from the house hunting, to packing our shit, the drive, the hotels, the adventure. That is what life is about. Not this day-to-day Midwest bullshit, I suffer through. I am done playing this fucking corporate shit. I am successful, but fuck it, I hate it. People with any talent don't live here. I can’t stand anything about living here. The way people talk, the way people act, the fact that everyone is a grossly obese and no one seems to notice how fucking ridiculous that is. When the fuck did everyone become so fucking fat and stupid. I sometime wish I was stupid. That would be an easier road.
Someone just showed up. There goes my morning. fuck this.

question: What is the main character's general emotional attitude?

answer: The main character is annoyed and aggravated by their co-workers, the background noise of casual conversation, and the people they come into contact with.

critique: The answer should mention the main character's general emotional attitude.

critique: The answer should mention the main character's general disdain for the town they live in.

critique: The answer should mention the narrator's general dissatisfaction with their life.

critique: The answer omits that the main character is also angry with their hometown, their job, and their life as a whole.

critique: I would add that the main character is also irritated by their environment in general.

critique: The 'background noise' in the office sounds to be the casual conversations that stink. The 'casual conversations' are the chatter that goes on between co-workers pretending to have a decent time.

critique: The answer should mention that the main character is also generally unhappy with their life.

question: What is the narrator looking forward to?

answer: Moving to LA with his fiancé.

critique: The narrator is looking forward to the move in general, not just the move with his fiancé.

critique: Adding the other details would strengthen the overall answer.

critique: The narrator is not looking forward to the move itself, but to the adventure of the move.

As the team at Audrey Press have traveled the journey of publishing the new and unique diverse children’s book, _SISSY GOES TINY_ by Rebecca Flansburg and B.A. Norrgard over the last year, we’ve had the chance to learn and understand the life choices that go along with choosing to live in a home that is under 399 square feet. These revelations and lessons have come to us courtesy of co-author, B.A. Norrgard who has been living small for over five years.

It was her experiences, paired with the creative imagination and knowledge of the children’s book industry of co-author Becky Flansburg, that inspired these two long-time friends to pen a picture book about a family that chooses shake up the traditional concept of “home” to live Tiny and do More with Less.

And…::drum roll::…Sissy Goes Tiny is now available on Amazon!

[]

FIRST, LET’S CLARIFY WHAT *TINY HOUSE LIFESTYLE* REALLY MEANS.

The “tiny house movement,” also known as the “small house movement,” basically describes the architectural and social movement that advocates living simply in small homes. The typical Tiny House is less than 399 square feet and often as small as 100; a far cry from the national average in 2014 of 2,453 square feet. Tiny Houses can be placed on a permanent foundation like a regular home, or on a trailer for a more mobile living lifestyle.

[]

B.A. shared that the Number One question people asks her was where she goes “Number Two.” We’ll spare you the earthy and organic details, but long-story-short, composting toilets are popular amongst Tiny Housers and have come a lllooonnngg way in the last handful of years.

Other questions posed to B.A about Tiny House living has to do with managing severe weather, security, and storage.

“Many Tiny House communities have storm shelters on the property and as far as security, I honestly have no concerns in that area. I just installed a tiny air condition in my Tiny House so that will help with the Texas heat. I also have an Envi brand convection wall panel heater that hangs on the wall for this cooler temps as well. I did also wire my house in such a way that it would be very easy to convert to solar. As far as storage, those serious about living minimal and going tiny need to really reevaluate everything in their life because storage is so limited in an under 300 square foot house.  Many tiny house dwellers utilize their outdoor spaces so much that they consider it part of their daily living space.”

Being self-sufficient is a huge part of Tiny House living and Beth Ann admits being close to resources like shopping and supply stores is key. “Because storage space is limited, you can’t load up on food like you can in a typical house,” she added. “My lifestyle demands that I shop more frequently and being close to larger towns with abundant resources is very important to your convenience.”

Is going tiny in the cards for _YOU??_

Sissy Goes Tiny by Rebecca Flansburg and B.A. Norrgard
_In SISSY GOES TINY, eight-year-old Sissy and her parents make the bold choice to downsize their life and embark on a journey of living tiny and doing more with less. At first, Sissy struggles to get used to the idea of living in a tiny house on wheels and traveling around the U.S, but as she and her mommy and daddy learn about downsizing, repurposing, and how “stuff is just stuff,” she soon understands that a life of “living tiny” will be filled with the big adventures and learning._

This gorgeous diverse picture book will be available July of 2019 and you can READ THE FULL STORY OF THIS JOURNEY HERE and also reserve your hardcover COPY HERE.

_“I believe that Sissy Goes Tiny is going to open so many minds for people! A tiny house is absolutely not for everyone, but we all like to dream and step into the shoes of another lifestyle in our minds. Learning about this lifestyle I think will help people be more supportive of people who do choose to live unconventionally. Sissy and her family are a great example of that.”_ Co-author, B.A. Norrgard

question: What does the article say about the challenges faced by those who decide to live in a tiny house?

answer: It can be a challenge to stay self-sufficient, as storage space is limited. Tiny house communities can have storm shelters on the property. Tiny houses can be placed on a permanent foundation, or on a trailer for a more mobile lifestyle.

critique: The answer does not mention security as a challenge.

critique: The answer does not fully answer the question.

critique: The answer should mention composting toilets.

JAMES GILKES (born 21 September 1952) is a former sprinter from Guyana who specialised in the 200 metres.

Career

He was 1975 Pan American 200 metre champion, and in 1979 he took the silver medal in the same event.

He was runner up to Don Quarrie of Jamaica in the 1978 AAA's 200 metres event.

At the 1978 Commonwealth Games in Edmonton he finished fourth in the 100 metre final, then took the silver medal in the 200 metres, finishing behind Allan Wells of Scotland.

In 1978, Gilkes was denied a world record for the 4x200 m relay; while the Tobias Striders team he was a member of broke the old world record with a time of 1:20.23, but this was rejected as a record because the team members were from different countries. The other members of the team were: Guy Abrahams, Panama; Michael Simmons, USA; and Don Quarrie, Jamaica.

The team from the University of Southern California (Joel Andrews, James Sanford, William Mullins and Clancy Edwards) that finished second in the same race also broke the old world record: their time of 1:20.26 was accepted as the new world record.[1]

In 1979 he took 3rd place in the “Golden sprints” in Zurich.

Gilkes would have been a medal favorite in the 200 m (which Don Quarrie won) at the 1976 Olympic Games in Montreal, but Guyana joined the African boycott over New Zealand's rugby team's tour of apartheid South Africa. He applied to the International Olympic Committee (IOC) for permission to run as an individual under their flag but was denied the request.[2][3][4] He also went to the 1980 Olympic Games where he reached the semi-finals of both the 100 and 200 metres before he was eliminated.

His personal best time for the 200 metres was 20.14 seconds, achieved in September 1978 in Ingelheim.

Gilkes studied first at Fisk University then moved to the University of Southern California (USC). He was an important member of the track team at both colleges. As of 2012, Gilkes was still ranked in the top 10 all-time performers for the USC Trojans at 100 and 200 m, joint 8th and 4th respectively.[5]

He enjoyed success for both colleges at the NCAA (USA Collegiate) championships, including a win at 220 yards in 1974:[6][7]

-   1974 (for Fisk) – 6th in 100 y; 1st in 220 y
-   1975 (for USC) – 2nd in 200 m
-   1976 (for USC) – 3rd in 100 m; 2nd in 200 m.

Gilkes joined Fisk University when it started a student transfer program with his native country of Guyana in 1972.[8] Gilkes remained at Fisk University until 1974 when he transferred to USC.[9] He has stated he was not unhappy at Fisk but did not enjoy the Tennessee weather and preferred the sunnier climes of California.[10]

Rankings

Gilkes was ranked in the top ten 100 and 200 m sprinters in the world from 1974 to 1979, according to the votes of the experts of _Track and Field News_.[11][12]

text: Just a man with his thoughts. Should I drink? No. Should I smoke? No. But at the end of the day it’s who I am. It’s as short walk, one I have made more times than I can count, but in my mind the steps seem infinite. Where did I go wrong? So much potential they said. So much promise they said; and honestly it’s so much easier to sit on the other side of the table and judge than to experience the true gravity of it all. To sling unjust judgment towards this life, a future that is currently being written and all the while already wrote. I see those flashing lights, I see them night in and night out guiding me home with no true direction. I know where the perceived home is, I know where my lover sleeps, but it is not home. Home only exists in an idea, a place where I once was but will never find again. I stop by the local pub and shoot the same arduous shit I always do. Sports. Politics. Economy. Pseudo intellectual bullshit that happens with a frequency that i could likely have both sides of it with myself. I need to stop coming here, never again, never more. “Quoth the raven never more.”   I smirk, a smile I can only feel knowing that the pedantic idiocy of the yokels know not of this reference and it falls on ill-bred ears. I stand superior to the masses in my mind; their self perceived god ruling an empire of ignorance. I step back into the cold, longing for the brothers that once stood with me years ago. We may talk, we may lament, we may feel. Feel something that once was and will never be again. We have changed. Not necessarily to the people we should be, but to the people we now are. And yet I walk. Walk home to a love out of convenience. A love that happened at the right place at the right time. Not that childish love of youth, the truest kind love that will only exist in a flash, a blink of time only to be perused and never obtained. No this is a different love, one out of a mutual comfort, a comfort of not having to die alone. I burn another one, my only solace in the desolate wasteland that I have chosen. I stand as man who has forsaken my family, forsaken all those who have judge me [those who could judge me.] I will never be their man. I will never be the coattails upon which they hoped to ride. My parents will die old and alone as I cannot give the life they strived for me to feed them. I am cold. Cold with the realization that I am destined to be among the desolate; I fucking hate the cold. I remember, as I will never forget,  the times that I saw life on the silver platter. The times that my family gifted an existence that I could have obtained but never wanted. I will embrace the darkness. I will live the heart ache as if it was written to be mine and mine alone. My own selfishness feelings are the crushing weight of the infinite as though it is the only love I have ever known. I arrive “home.” One. Two. Three. Four. I know what waits for me on the other side of this lead laden door. A woman who desires only my embrace, but at the same time stands on the edge of the travesty that is our existence, fully accepting the misery I have brought upon her. I light up number three…or is it number four…who gives a shit. I would rather die at 30 than live to see myself broken down to nothing. I quietly open the door. The comforting smell of familiarity makes me sick. I hate my comfort, I hate my strife, I hate the obligatory relief I am expected to feel in this dump. I brush off the snow, climb the steps to my every day. It is so set in stone. Fifteen steps towards the love of my life. I chuckle whilst I brush my teeth. Love. What a childish idea that was crushed long ago. Smashed upon the rocks of reality. I pet the dog, I lock the door, I embrace suburbia with the heartache of a man that was destined for more.  I could have embraced the shallow 9-5 and all the predetermined dialogue that lies within. I curl up next to the physical embodiment of our failures. “Tomorrow,” I say, “tomorrow it will be different.” Knowing full well in my heart that tomorrow I will feel the biting cold once again. I find solace in the trivial; solace in the fact that today is but a few brief hours from tomorrow. The day that holds nothing but possibilities but offers the same cold, hopeless walk. I drift off into slumber hoping for better days, all the while with the knowledge that what has been written has been, and always will be written in stone. “Tomorrow,” I say, “that is the day that I will finally come to fruition.”

title: Tomorrow.

question: What is the narrator's sentiment in the story?

answer: The narrator is unhappy with their life and feels as though they are destined to be alone. They are alone both physically and emotionally.

critique: It's omitted that they find solace in the little they have.

_LOH KOOI CHOON V GOVERNMENT OF MALAYSIA_ (1977) 2 MLJ 187 is a case decided in the Federal Court of Malaysia concerning the rights and freedoms guaranteed by the Constitution, and also involving the extent to which Parliament can amend the Constitution. The decision was delivered by Federal Justice Raja Azlan Shah.

Background

Loh had been detained by the Royal Malaysian Police under a warrant issued under the provisions of the Restricted Residence Enactment 1933 (RRE). Article 5(4) of the Constitution specified that any person arrested “be produced before a magistrate and shall not be further detained in custody without the magistrate's authority” — guaranteeing the right of _habeas corpus_. Loh was denied this right, and sued the Police for damages. However, his claim was rejected on the grounds that the Police had acted in compliance with a warrant issued by a competent authority. Loh appealed to the Federal Court, which heard his appeal four years after the original case.[1]

Before his appeal was heard, however, Parliament amended Article 5(4), adding a provision stating:[2]

Case

Before the Federal Court, Loh's counsel argued against the amendment and its retrospective effect on the grounds that it was not permissible for the Constitution to be amended in such a way that its “basic structure” was destroyed. Loh referred to Article 4(1), which specifies that the Constitution is “the supreme law of the Federation”, and to the Basic Structure doctrine of Indian case law, to argue that the amendment had contravened the spirit and basic structure of the Constitution by invalidating the right of _habeas corpus_.[3]

Decision

Federal Justice Raja Azlan Shah rejected the argument of the appellant, stating that although Article 4(1) declared that any unconstitutional law passed after independence would be void, this did not apply to the Constitution itself — the Constitution could not be internally inconsistent. In his judgement, he stated that law made under ordinary legislative power, and law in the form of Constitutional amendments, were two different things, and as such constitutional amendments were not subject to the inconsistency clause of Article 4(1):[4]

Criticism

The case has been criticised by legal scholars, who have argued that it effectively gave the government free rein to pass unconstitutional laws.
