Abstract Art
When I was little, I used to draw
A lot.
I drew with pens on napkins while waiting
For food at restaurants.
I would scribble with crayons on the kids menus,
Ignoring the coloring exercises with strict lines that
I was told to color within. I guess it
Felt good to not follow the rules.  I was told
That I couldn’t, or that I wasn’t allowed to as a child.
The Menu would tell me to color in the star, or
Connect the dots. I would use my outside voice to yell
At the menu, saying, that I wasn’t going to follow the rules this time,
But I yelled in my head. I guess it good to be able
To efface the something that an adult had set out,
Had expected me to do. My four-pack of crayons was
My sled, and the coloring menu was a hill that I
Was told to shovel, but instead chose to sled down.

I would grab paper out of the
Printer when I was bored. I would walk
Into the kitchen, grasp the newest markers from the drawer
With my eager hands.  Drawing, I would discard the
Dried out markers that left faded lines on the blank page,
I only accepted the makers that left a wet, thick,
Glossy mark that created a chemical reaction
In my body, leaving me wanting to draw more.
I would draw lines, straight lines, curved lines, pipes that
Led to circles and squares, patterns that
Repeated, semicircles that turned outwards like
Petals on flower, and curved triangles that
Looked like the leaves of palm trees. I remember thinking
That the palm leaves were cool because
I thought of them, not anyone else. They weren’t
Anything that I was taught to draw in school, or
Something I saw on TV, they were mine.  My parents
Would see me coloring, and I would cover it up
With my arms, telling them to wait until I was done.
They would gawk when they saw it, asking me what it was.
I would respond with “I dunno.” Then one day
I saw a TV show about “abstract art.” From then on,
My drawings weren’t just “I dunno,”
They were “abstract art.”

I brought this “style” of drawing to class,
I would use my free time to grab a sheet or two
Of lined paper from the bin, and for the fist time
In school, I would disobey the lines.  I drew the usual with
Colored pencils:
Shapes, focusing mainly on the pipes and circles, for I didn’t
Want the other kids to see my palm leaves
Not because I was ashamed of them, but because
They were mine.  The other kids joined in, drawing their
Own abstract art. Each was a different style, each was
Creative.
Creative. That word was thrown around by teachers
And parents alike, and it made me feel proud.
Proud that I could be positively labeled
For something that sprang from a rebellion against
The very type of people that were praising me.
Adults.
Through drawing I learned that every
Once in a while, I could gain respect by disregarding what I had been taught.
As a result of this epiphany,
I continued to draw all day, carrying myself in an
Uncharacteristically insouciant manner.

As I grew up, my abstract drawings began to fade,
I began to grow tired with my loops and pipes,
And even my palm leaves began to get old.
It didn’t help that those around me
Started to look at my work, and back at me, but this time
With a worried eye.  “Something is different with
Him.”  I could hear their thoughts in my own head.
I remember kids saying that “anyone could make that,”
Or that I should “stop doodling and focus.”
“Not anyone could make that, because I made it.”
Eventually I stopped telling myself this.
I was told by some that I should try to express my
“Creativity” in more academic and mature ways.
There was that word again.
Only this it felt like a punch in the stomach. And I
Listened to them. Why did I listen?
Abstract art proved to have a direct correlation with this
Thing called “creativity.” I guess by middle school I was supposed
To have lost it.  At what age are children expected to outgrow
Their creativity? How can creativity be defined by anyone
Other than myself?  Despite all of these questions I still have,
I rarely draw anymore.

US Senators Lindsey Graham (SC) and Ted Cruz (TX), both of whom were candidates this year for the Republican nomination for President, have come out loud and clear in their anger at Friday’s UN Security Council Vote which condemned Israeli settlements. The two are calling for America to end financial support for the United Nations unless the vote is repealed.

  Just spoke with the PM of Israel Benjamin @Netanyahu. I let him know many Members of Congress will push back hard against this UN outrage.

  — Lindsey Graham (@LindseyGrahamSC) December 23, 2016

  I intend to recommend to the Trump Administration and new Congress the US suspend UN funding until this #Israel resolution is repealed.

  — Lindsey Graham (@LindseyGrahamSC) December 23, 2016

So what made this anti-Israel vote different from all other UN votes against Israel? Well this time the language not only condemned Israeli settlements in the West Bank, but also declared all Israeli construction in Jerusalem on the other side of the pre-1967 border to be illegal. This wording includes the Jewish Quarter of the Old City which has been completely rebuilt in the last 50 years and the open prayer plaza in front of the Western Wall, the holiest site to the Jewish people.

So what exactly did Senators Cruz and Graham say? Lindsay Graham released the following statement:

“The Obama-Kerry foreign policy has gone from naïve and foolish to flat-out reckless. With friends like these, Israel doesn’t need any enemies.I anticipate this vote will create a backlash in Congress against the United Nations. The organization is increasingly viewed as anti-Semitic and seems to have lost all sense of proportionality. I will do everything in my power, working with the new Administration and Congress, to leave no doubt about where America stands when it comes to the peace process and where we stand with the only true democracy in the Middle East, Israel.

“The Middle East is on fire and Israel is surrounded by threats. Regardless of the terrorist attacks they suffer, or the number of rockets fired their way, Israel is always the bad guy in the United Nations.The United Nations will regret this vote and I hope the Obama Administration will realize the massive mistake they made on their way out of the door. With today’s abstention, the Obama Administration has empowered evil and been a very poor friend to democracy.”

Lindsay Graham also told CNN, “This is a road we haven’t gone down before. If you can’t show the American people that international organizations can be more responsible, there is going to be a break. And I am going to lead that break.”

“I will do everything in my power, ” he added, “working with the new administration and Congress, to leave no doubt about where America stands when it comes to the peace process and where we stand with the only true democracy in the Middle East, Israel”

  Spoke w/ Israeli PM @netanyahu tonight to wish him Happy Chanukah & assure him of strong support in Congress. No US $ for UN until reversed.

  — Ted Cruz (@tedcruz) December 24, 2016

As for Senator Ted Cruz, he tweeted the above Chanukah greeting to Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu in which he promised “No US $ for UN until reversed.”

And Senator Cruz also released a statement saying that he, “emphatically second(s) the call of my colleague Sen. Lindsey Graham that the consequences of this disgraceful UN resolution should be severe. I look forward to working with Sen. Graham, and with the incoming Administration of President-elect Trump, to significantly reduce or even eliminate U.S. funding of the United Nations, and also to seriously reconsider financial support for the nations that supported this resolution. For those who have put your name to this despicable attack on Israel, you did so with full knowledge of the consequences of your actions.”

Friends of Israel will surely applaud these statements. But it should be remembered here that it is very easy for American politicians to make such declarations. Members of the Congress from both parties regularly condemn the UN for ant-Israel biases. Also, Graham and Cruz may be thinking about running for President again and attacking the UN is always popular among Republican voters.

However, as the Republican Party retains it majority in both the House and Senate, and the next President will be a Republican, Donald Trump, who has no love for the United Nations and has already condemned the vote — a vote which he actually tried to prevent from even taking place — it is more than likely that America will move to defend the UN.

question: What is the motivation behind Lindsey Graham and Ted Cruz's statements?

answer: They are angry at the UN Security Council Vote which condemned Israeli settlements.

critique: The answer should mention that the two are also angry at the UN's language regarding Jerusalem.

critique: The answer should mention that the two senators believe the vote is anti-Semitic.

critique: The answer should mention that the two are angry because the vote declared all Israeli construction in Jerusalem to be illegal.

critique:
"They are angry at the UN Security Council Vote which condemned Israeli settlements." - add that they are angry that the UN voted
to declare all Israeli construction on the other side of the pre-1967 border to be illegal, including the Jewish Quarter of the Old City, which has been completely rebuilt in the last 50 years and the open prayer plaza outside the Western Wall, the holiest site to the Jewish people.

question: Summarize the controversy surrounding the vote.

answer: The vote was a condemnation of Israeli settlements in the West Bank and declared all Israeli construction in Jerusalem on the other side of the pre-1967 border to be illegal. This includes the Jewish Quarter of the Old City which has been completely rebuilt in the last 50 years and the open prayer plaza in front of the Western Wall, the holiest site to the Jewish people.

critique: The answer does not mention the backlash from the senators.

question: Summarize the roles the presidents play in the article.

answer: No answer

critique: The article mentions the presidents of the United States and Israel.

critique: The answer should mention that the article does not mention any presidents.

question: What does the article say about the presidential election?

answer: No answer

critique: The answer should mention the two candidates.

FLOYD MAYWEATHER JR. VS. RICKY HATTON, billed as UNDEFEATED, was a boxing superfight that took place on December 8, 2007, at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, between reigning WBC & _The Ring_ welterweight champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. and reigning _The Ring_ light welterweight champion Ricky Hatton.

The fight was for Mayweather's WBC & _The Ring_ welterweight titles. Mayweather defeated Hatton by TKO in the tenth round.

General information

The referee for the fight was Joe Cortez, with Burt Clements, Dave Moretti and Paul Smith as the three judges. Hatton weighed in at 145 lbs and Mayweather at 147 lbs.[1]

In attendance were celebrities such as Denzel Washington, Diego Milito, Bruce Willis, Sylvester Stallone, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, Wesley Snipes, Will Ferrell, Gwen Stefani and Jude Law, Jamie Hunt, David Lochery and footballer David Beckham.[2] At the weigh in the crowd were whipped into a frenzy as Joe Calzaghe (who was there supporting Hatton) squared up to American legend Bernard Hopkins (who was there supporting Mayweather).[3]

Throughout the weigh-in, fans of Hatton could be heard singing “Hatton Wonderland” and booed Mayweather.[4] Prior to the fight, Tom Jones sang “God Save the Queen”, and Tyrese Gibson sang “The Star-Spangled Banner”. [Press Conference in Manchester, 2007]Hatton entered the ring first to “Blue Moon”, his usual entrance music, Mayweather however chose a change of music for his entrance. In the week prior to the fight sections of the media, largely the British media had hyped the fight as something of a Britain against America fight, comparing the fight to when Lloyd Honeyghan travelled to America to dethrone American Don Curry, then the undisputed world champion, this leading to Mayweather's decision to enter the ring to Bruce Springsteen's “Born in the U.S.A.”. Shortly before the start of the match, the Hatton fans also repeatedly booed the American national anthem, drawing large criticism post-fight.[5]

The fight had 920,000 buys on HBO in the United States, and 1,150,000 buys in the United Kingdom on Sky Box Office.

The Fight

Hatton tried to compete with Mayweather in the early rounds. In the 1st round Hatton caught Mayweather with a left jab which knocked Mayweather off balance.[6] His constant pressure appeared to make Mayweather uncomfortable at first, but soon gave way. In the third round, Mayweather landed a right that cut Hatton above the right eye.[7] In round six, referee Joe Cortez took a point away from Hatton after he threw punches at the back of Mayweathers' head when he was forced under the top rope.[8] Hatton became angry at the referee's decision to deduct a point from him and turned his back on him in frustration, shaking his bottom at Mayweather. Hatton would later claim that he had become angry by the referee and that had caused him to lose his calm and contributed to his downfall.[9] Hatton was able to hold his own, until round six, after Hatton got worn down from chasing Mayweather around the ring. Mayweather sensed the exhaustion of Hatton, and pursued Hatton's punches with stiff, damaging counterpunches. Mayweather was clearly in control before rocking Hatton in the 10th round. He knocked him down with a left hook, and Hatton was badly hurt. He looked disorientated when he got up, but referee Joe Cortez let the fight continue.

Mayweather wasted no time jumping on him again, landing a flurry of punches, including another left hook that sent Hatton staggering backward and down again. Cortez called off the fight at 1:35 without a count at the same time the white towel was thrown from Hatton's corner.[10] The fight received large amounts of publicity, with both fighters promoting the fight heavily.

Aftermath

Mayweather announced his retirement from boxing on June 6, 2008. He returned to the ring 15 months later to beat Juan Manuel Márquez by a 12-round unanimous decision. Mayweather went on to appear at World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE)'s No Way Out pay-per-view on February 17, 2008 in Las Vegas, Nevada, where he was involved in a storyline physical altercation with Big Show, which led to a match at WrestleMania XXIV.

Hatton defeated Juan Lazcano at the City of Manchester Stadium in Manchester on May 24, 2008[11] in a “thank-you” bout for the tremendous fan support he has received throughout his entire professional career. The last time Hatton fought in Manchester was back in 2005 against Kostya Tszyu. Hatton went on to fight Paul Malignaggi for the IBF light welterweight championship in November 2008. The fight was very one sided and Ricky won comfortably by way of TKO in the 11th round. Hatton would eventually lose to Manny Pacquiao via second-round KO and put his career on an indefinite hiatus. He eventually announced his retirement on 7 July 2011.

WILLIAM ALPHONSUS “WEE WILLIE” CRILLEY (29 August 1901 – 16 September 1955) was a Scottish-American football forward who holds the record for the greatest number of goals scored by an Alloa Athletic player in a single season of the Scottish Football League. He had an itinerant career, spending most of it in the United States with a few seasons, or parts of seasons in Scotland.

Career

During his youth, Crilley played for Pale Ale, a local Glasgow amateur team. In 1920, he began the season with Cambuslang Rangers. During the season, he moved to Alloa Athletic of the Scottish Football League Second Division. In his first season with Alloa, he scored the game winners in Alloa's first and second round victories in the Scottish Cup. He also scored in the third round replay with Rangers F.C., a 4–1 loss for Alloa. Despite the loss in the Scottish Cup, Alloa won the 1921 Penman Trophy and Stirlingshire Cup. The next year, Crilley carried Alloa to the Second Division championship as he scored a record forty-nine goals, an amazing feat for a five-foot three center forward. Alloa transferred Crilley to Celtic at the end of the season, but he played only three first team games, scoring a single goal. Celtic sent him back to Alloa at the end of the season, but injuries hindered his playing time.[1]

He then left Scotland to sign with New York Field Club in the American Soccer League which had not yet finished its season. He played five games, scoring five goals. Crilley began the 1923–1924 season in New York, played two league games, one National Challenge Cup game before being transferred to the New York Giants. He played two games, scoring one goal, then returned to Scotland to rejoin Alloa.[2] According to the Alloa history, he was “transferred down south for £1,250” but it does not identify Crilley's new team. However, at some point he returned to the United States where he played eleven games of the 1924–1925 season with Indiana Flooring.

Crilley returned to the Giants for the 1925–1926 season, seeing his greatest number of games during any stint with a US team, twenty-eight. By this time, he was no longer a center forward and had become better known as a top winger and an excellent play maker. Crilley resumed his nomadic career during the 1926–1927 season, bouncing between three teams during the course of the season. He began with the Giants, played nine games for J&P Coats and finished with two games at Philadelphia Field Club. He then played for the New York Nationals in 1927–1928.[3] In the 1928–1929 season, he was with Brooklyn Hispano, New York Hungaria and the IRT Rangers of the Eastern Professional Soccer League.[4][5]

He apparently returned to Scotland intending to play for Alloa Athletic, but was deported from Scotland because he had become a US citizen.[6] Therefore, he was back into the ASL in the fall of 1930 with the Newark Americans and the New York Soccer Club. While he played only one league game with New York SC, he saw another five cup games in which he scored seven goals. He continued his itinerant ways in 1931, playing for both the Fall River F.C. and the Brooklyn Wanderers before joining the New York American in the fall of 1931. Crilley replicated his early career goal scoring heroics for these last two teams, scoring 14 goals in 7 games for Brooklyn and 9 goals in 10 games for the Americans.[7] In 1932, he attempted to rejoin Alloa Athletic, but was rebuffed.[8] In 1935, he played for Brooklyn Hispano in the second American Soccer League.

He returned to the United States and joined the US Army on 18 November 1942, serving in the Air Corps with Fifteenth Air Force during World War II.[9]

There are other institutions of higher educations to look into, including the University of Montreal, University of Toronto, Simson Fraser University, and others.

There are different ways to finance your studies in Canada, including scholarships, grants, working through university, private student loans, government loans, and more. A number of scholarships and bursaries are available to IT students in Canada, among which the Albert Kwong Memorial Prize, A.W. Chisholm Bursary, Aliant Ambassador Scholarship, and Ada Byron Award. Some prizes and scholarships are available to students enrolled in programs across different fields, including information technology, quality surveying, computer science, construction management, and engineering. In addition to prizes and scholarships, students are offered government-sponsored loans and grants, along with repayment assistance. Financial assistance is available to students with permanent disabilities, persons with children and dependents, students who demonstrate financial need (from middle-income and low-income families), and students in part- and full-time programs.

There are other options for students who fail to meet the requirements for government assistance or need additional sources of financing. One option is to apply for a student loan from a local financial institution or one of Canada's big banks. TD Canada Trust and RBC Royal Bank, for example, offer student lines of credit. TD's line of credit is available to graduate and undergraduate students and professionals, including veterinary, medical, dental, and others. Proof of enrollment is required to qualify. The main benefits for borrowers include quick and easy access, interest-only payments until graduation, and competitive interest rates. In addition to loans and scholarships, a student credit card is one option to meet daily and school-related expenses such as meals, school supplies, textbooks, transportation, and so on. Many banks in Canada offer student credit cards, including Scotiabank, CIBC, TD Canada Trust, and others. Scotiabank, for example, features a credit card with money back rewards while CIBC offers different cards with no annual fee, bonus points, cash back, added insurance, and other add-ons and incentives. There is no minimum income requirement to qualify.

Best Canadian Sites/Applications Built with Open Data

Open Maps

There are plenty of unique and useful applications and websites that are built with open data, including data inventories and portals, geospatial services and applications, and a lot more.

Open Maps allow users to analyze, explore, and visualize geospatial data. What is more, users learn how to work with different interfaces and formats, including programming interfaces, geo formats, and structured data (XML, JSON, CSV), etc. There are different geo formats to extract and use metadata information as well. APIs are also being developed to increase public awareness and knowledge and allow users to access data in different ways, including ATI requests, suggested consultations, round table discussions, and data sets, email, and so on.

Open Government across Canada

In addition to open maps, Open Government across Canada offers a wealth of data and toolkits, including information on initiatives and events, events calendar, and maps. Users are free to access open data portals and websites to learn more about municipal boundaries, federal electoral districts, and geopolitical boundaries. Visitors learn about the Exclusive Economic Zone and international boundary, provincial boundaries, aboriginal lands, as well as administrative boundaries. There is a host of geo databases to explore, including databases on the national road network and national hydro network, geographical names, geospatial data, and digital elevation data. Visitors are also offered useful information on mineral assessments and deposits, storage of hazardous materials, population estimates, neighborhood demographics, and a lot more.

The Open Government Portal offers a wealth of information as well, including household spending and population distribution, demographics of individuals, dependents, and taxpayers, guilty cases and youth courts, and accidents involving dangerous goods. There is plenty of information on different topics and themes such as technology and science, environment and nature, politics and government, and industry and economics. Search filters help users to find relevant information by organization, collection type, subject, portal type, and keyword. Different types of collections are available, including publications, geospatial data, open maps, and non-spatial data. Visitors learn plenty about land management, local and isolated communities, boundaries, and more.

Other Open Data Apps and Sites

There are other handy applications to look into, including EatSure, EatSafe, Disclosed, DataTo, My Stops, Libraries Ottawa, and others. Disclosed.ca, for example, is managed by Nurey Networks Inc. to monitor contracts signed by government agencies. Users are free to browse through different contracts, their value and duration, work done, names of vendors, departments and agencies, etc. The Ottawa DogPark Finder was a useful application for dog owners, offering park ratings based on cleanliness, friendliness, and popularity. Unfortunately, the application is closed down. My TTC is a great open data application that helps commuters to plan their route, whether by bus, streetcar, or subway. Ottawa Parks and Recreation is a great app developed by SK8 Wireless Technologies to access information on parks, child care facilities, baseball diamonds, and other recreational facilities. Other applications by SK8 Wireless Technologies offer information on city-run car parking facilities, persons of interest, museums, traffic cameras, bookmobiles and libraries, and so on. There are also open data apps that offer information on alternative fuel locations, taxi services, and charities and retailers that specialize in recycling. Other useful apps to explore include Traffic Ottawa, Toronto Road Restrictions, TaxiCity, and Route411.

                 A Bad Suggestion
From the seventh floor balcony, I waited for the stars to rise and fall. Just as soon as they went up, they were greeted by another far away star, and together they would dance in a melancholy stupor until they met at a focal point of blackness, and subsequently collided leaving smolder and hot metal parading the sky. The 7TH floor of the abandoned children’s hospital was an ideal place to watch them, and I remember doing so with my older brother. Sometimes we would cheer for more rising stars, and sometimes we would recognize the stars for what they truly were. Our moods were interchangeable based on how we felt, and often, were just interpretations, for they never lasted. In the end it was the same old story. Genocide had swept our nation like a broom, and its only remaining duty was to sweep the rest of us under the rug. We were of the last ones there; the survivors. We were alone and had nothing to rely on but each other, and our father’s mandatory last advisement: “Trust No one.” This, of course, was months before his last and more imperative words: “Run!” On this particular night the moon was full, and whenever there was a hiatus in the back and forth of gunfire and floating bombs, we could still see our native Africa illuminate from the same light that had guided our ancestors. We got tired of listening to the clamor of bullets ricochet, and bored of watching the flares and missiles illuminate the sky. We were hungry, and had nowhere to sleep. It was time to begin our night’s usual routine of scavenging. My brother nudged me in the shoulder, “Come on, we have to go now.” We turned around from the balcony and sprinted down the concrete stairs of the hospital until we reached the bottom. When we made it out of the hospital stairs, the smell hit us. The stench of death is something that is overwhelming at first, but just like anything if you give it time, it will either take on the droll task of expected repetition or, it will haunt your every dream, and stalk your every move. It was most definitely stalking us and it scared us more than ever. We proceeded to run immediately to our right, through the cold sand, and past the huge tree. Usually, the task of running just on the outskirts of immediate war was enough to urge us to keep running. However, on this particular night, the leafless branches of the tree collided with the silver radiance of the moon in an utmost peculiar way. We stopped and watched the branches sway just for a moment. I don’t know why we stopped. Maybe it was just intuition telling us, but our intuition had been sidetracked for so long, we dared not to think that. Our momentary seconds of splendor were soon over, and we began to run again. The sand whistled beneath our cracked black feet as we ran. I remember the unusual chill in the air, and the warmness that would embrace my face each time a far- away missile would light up the sky, and leave its presence booming in the echoes of the barren desert. As we ran, the village where we used to live approached our immediate right, and just adjacent to them were the black windows and torn rubble that used to be our home. We didn’t dare look, for if we did we might have tried to decipher our home from the others, which of course would just perpetuate the fact that there were no homes left at all. It was important to us that we carry no baggage, we were free of emotion. We were no longer people, and I only say this because we had no characteristics of any normal person. We were too young to generate any logical conclusions on our non-generic personalities, so we just went with the notion that we had none. Our feet kept moving until we reached an old tire factory. The smell of burning rubber was still lingering in the air like a flame from an old wick, as we mechanically hopped over the only part of the fence that was not barb wired. There was a light on in the distance. If somebody was there we would rip them to shreds. We didn’t care who they were or why they were there. Trust no one. That was our motto, and we stuck to it like it was the law. Perhaps it was the sound of our tearing flesh on the rocks beneath us, or, perhaps it was the flickering shadow that left its impression so memorably on the hard dirt path. I don’t know what it was for sure, but somebody inside of that room heard us. We began to run faster as the room beyond us started to rumble with preparation. My brother pulled out a long blade that sparkled in the moonlight. Then, that door opened. He warned us to stop, but we kept on going. We were savages. As we neared, the outline of the man’s skull began to familiarize itself with the images of my mind. I paid no attention. The man pulled out a large assault rifle, and we stopped dead in our tracks. He shot my brother between the eyes and I locked mine with his. My brother was dead on the ground. He was only following the advice that my father had given him: Run, and trust no one. He did well. Then, it became clear to me and my shadowed counterpart just exactly who we were looking at. The man I was staring at was my father. As he dropped down in tears, I glanced at my brother’s bloody corpse, and soon after brought my head up to look at the battles in the distance. I took one hard glance at my father, and then remembered his last pieces of advice to me and my deceased brother. I proceeded to turn around and run as fast as I could.

critique: Maybe, as this answer could be inferred. The children particularly do not want to know out of avoid being derailed by remaining mementos of what once was, but still may have jobs to do.

critique: They don't want to know because they don't want to be led to any conclusions about what's left of their home.

critique: "They don't want to know what's left of their home." - the reason is because they were too young to generate any logical conclusions on their non-generic personalities. They were too young to generate any logical conclusions on their non-generic personalities. They were too young to generate any logical conclusions on their non-generic personalities. They were too young to generate any logical conclusions on their non-generic personalities.

Description

The Vapemate VM Subtank is a stainless steel and pyrex glass atomiser that sports a TPD compliant 2ml capacity whilst delivering incredible flavour and vapour. With it's Dual Vertical Coil (DVC) replacement coils available in 0.5 Ohm and 0.25 Ohm, this little beast packs a seriously powerful punch!

Please note: the 0.25 Ohm coil in this tank is rated as having a maximum use power of 120W, but because of the 2ml tank regulations we suggest using no more than 75W power.

Tips

-   Avoid getting liquid in the centre tube when filling the tank.
-   Gurgling noise or leaks are often a sign that liquid has made it's way into the metal tube in the center of the tank (this can occur after a refill).
-   It is normal to find a small amount of liquid in the battery contact area when removing the tank. This is not the subtank leaking. This can be wiped away with a dry cloth or piece of tissue.
-   When possible, keep the tank full and never below 1/3 full of eliquid to help maintain the vacuum in the tank and prevent the subtank leaking.
-   Atomiser heads have an average lifespan between 10 to 20 days. When the atomizer head wears down, it may begin to leak.

Ink is widely used in the printing and publishing industry for printing books, magazines, newspapers, etc.; and in the packaging industry for labelling on plastic bottles, aluminium cans, jars, etc. According to a new report by Expert Market Research, the GLOBAL INK MARKET reached a value of US$ 20.6 Billion in 2020 and is further expected to reach US$ 23.88 Billion by 2026.

The production of ink witnessed a steady growth during 2016-2020. A significant development in the end-use industries like printing, publishing, packaging, letterpress, etc. has led to an increase in consumption of ink. Moreover, increasing affordability, innovation and introduction of environment-friendly inks, and rising demand from developing countries are some of the other factors which are encouraging the market growth.

KEY FINDINGS FROM THE REPORT:

-   The two-major end-uses of ink include packaging and publishing, and commercial printing.
-   Region-wise, Asia-Pacific dominated the market with a share of one-third of the total global production in 2019. It was followed by North America and Europe.
-   The types of ink available in the global ink market are oil based inks, solvent based liquid inks and water based liquid inks.
-   Different kinds of printing technologies in which ink is used are Lithographic, Gravure, Flexographic and Digital.
-   Being fragmented in nature, the global ink market is surrounded by a number of players. Some of these players include Sun Chemicals, Flint Group, Toyo Ink, Siegwerk Group, Sakata INX and Huber Group.

question: Summarize the key findings of the Expert Market Research report.

answer: The two-major end-uses of ink include packaging and publishing, and commercial printing. Region-wise, Asia-Pacific dominated the market in 2019 with a share of one-third of the total global production. The types of ink available in the global ink market are oil based inks, solvent based liquid inks and water-based liquid inks. The market is fragmented due to the number of players.

CORNELIUS INGRAM (born June 10, 1985) is a former American football tight end. He played college football and college basketball for the University of Florida. He was drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles in the fifth round of the 2009 NFL Draft and spent three seasons with the team, appearing in no regular season games and spending much of his tenure on the team's practice squad. He spent time on the Detroit Lions' practice squad in 2011 after he was waived by the Eagles during final roster cuts before the start of the season.

College career

Ingram accepted an athletic scholarship to attend the University of Florida, where he played for coach Ron Zook and coach Urban Meyer's Florida Gators football teams from 2004 to 2007. He practiced at quarterback on the scout team for the Gators but did not see any game action. He was the scout team “Player of the Week” vs. Arkansas. He joined coach Billy Donovan's Florida Gators basketball team October 15 for practice and played in 19 games as a true freshman on that squad as a shooting guard.

As a football redshirt freshman in 2005, Ingram played in two games in the season that saw him move from quarterback to tight end. He saw action at quarterback in the victory over Louisiana Tech, directing one offensive drive in the fourth quarter. He appeared in several offensive plays at wide receiver throughout the 2006 Outback Bowl against the Iowa Hawkeyes. The Gators won 31-24. As a sophomore in 2006, he played a role in the Florida Gators' 2006 BCS National Championship. He finished the year with 30 receptions for 380 yards.

Following his 2007 junior season, Ingram was recognized as a second-team All-SEC selection by the Associated Press and conference coaches. He was also a candidate for the John Mackey Award presented to the nation's best tight end. On August 6, 2008, Ingram seriously injured knee ligaments during fall practice. As a result, he missed his entire senior season.

Professional career

Philadelphia Eagles

Ingram was drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles in the fifth round (153rd overall) of the 2009 NFL Draft on April 26, 2009, and eventually signed a four-year, $1.9 million contract.

Ingram tore his anterior cruciate ligament during Philadelphia's training camp in 2009. This was the same injury that kept Ingram from playing his senior season at Florida. He was placed on injured reserve on September 1, 2009. He was waived on September 4, 2010 during final cuts, but was re-signed to the Eagles' practice squad on November 11.[1] He was released from the practice squad on December 16.[2] He was re-signed to the practice squad on December 22. His practice squad contract expired after the conclusion of the season. He was re-signed to a future contract on January 11, 2011. He was waived during final cuts on September 2.

Detroit Lions

The Detroit Lions signed Ingram to their practice squad on September 7, 2011. He was placed on the practice squad/injured list on September 13 and was released with an injury settlement on September 28.[3]

Denver Broncos

The Denver Broncos signed Ingram to their practice squad on December 27, 2011. On January 16, 2012, Ingram was signed to a reserve/future contract. On August 31, 2012, Ingram was waived and did not make the final 53-man roster. On September 1, 2012, Ingram cleared waivers and was placed on the practice squad. On September 27, 2012, he was released by the Broncos.

Post-playing career

In December 2014, Ingram became the head football coach at his alma mater, Hawthorne High School.[4] He had previously served as volunteer coach there.

[General area]

VANHANKAUPUNGINSELKÄ (also called _Vanhankaupunginlahti_, ) is a bay area which together with parts of adjoining Viikki district constitute a natural conservation zone near downtown Helsinki in the southern part of Finland. The area is listed in Ramsar Convention on Wetlands of International Importance, is part of European Union's Natura 2000 program and is also listed as BirdLife International's Important Bird Area.

Geographically the area lies east of Helsinki peninsula and is surrounded by the districts of Hermanni, Arabianranta, Viikki, Herttoniemi and Kulosaari. The Vantaa River ends at the north end of Vanhankaupunginselkä.

Although the area appears to be either land or water on various maps or satellite pictures, it is largely marsh-like, impassable either on foot or on boat. Most parts of the area are covered with reeds as tall as a person, which will prevent use of boats, while the subsoil beneath the reeds is soft and muddy, thus preventing passage on foot.

[Duckboards on the area] However, for the purposes of walking between the reeds the City of Helsinki has constructed some duckboards, which permit the visitors on the area to walk between the reeds. While these duckboards permit the visitors to walk between the reeds, the duckboards are just two to four planks wide, which require the visitors to apply appropriate caution in general and while passing other visitors. During times of higher water, the duckboards can be submerged in whole or in part, while in winter, the boards can be warped or destroyed by ice.

[Prohibition sign, stipulating: “Conservation Zone. Do not move between the reeds while the area is unfrozen, collect or damage the foliage or distribute animals in general, do not fish.” The text on the right is in Swedish.] As for the bird species in the area, 285 different species have been observed on the area. Out of these species, 114 have nested on the area during last 10 years.1

When the species of area are considered, certain species rare in Finland nest at the area. Examples of these are western marsh harrier, Eurasian bittern, white-backed woodpecker, red-backed shrike, ortolan bunting and black woodpecker. 2

As for other species, various predators like hawks and owls are frequently observed on the area.

The rules applicable to visitors of Vanhankaupunginselkä are fairly strict. As per the instructions printed on the signs all over the area, visitors on the area are not permitted to move between the reeds while the area is unfrozen, collect or damage the foliage or distribute animals in general. In addition, fishing is not permitted at the area, nor is walking unleashed dogs or horse riding. Furthermore, as Vanhankaupunginselkä is frequently visited by persons interested in nature, informal social control is strict. Littering, loud behavioural and comparable activities are typically strongly condemned.

The visitors can commute to the area either by cars, trams or buses. The trams number 6 and 8 have stops less than a kilometre from the area and various locations near the area offer ample parking space.

title: Vanhankaupunginselkä

question: What does the article say about the geographical features of Vanhankaupunginselkä?

answer: Vanhankaupunginselkä is a bay area near downtown Helsinki in the southern part of Finland. It is surrounded by the districts of Hermanni, Arabianranta, Viikki, Herttoniemi, and Kulosaari. The Vantaa River ends at the north end of Vanhankaupunginselkä. The area is marsh-like, impassable on foot or by boat. Most parts of the area are covered with reeds as tall as a person, which will prevent use of boats, while the subsoil beneath the reeds is soft and muddy, thus preventing passage on foot.

critique: "The area is marsh-like, impassable on foot or by boat." The area is listed in the ramsar convention regarding wetlands of international importance. The first part of the sentence claims it is marsh-like, but the second part says it is impassable on foot or by boat. The sentence should be re-written to reflect the area's actual characteristics.

critique: The answer should mention the duckboards that allow passage through the reeds.

critique: It is omitted that the area is listed in Ramsar Convention on Wetlands of International Importance, is part of European Union's Natura 2000 program and is also listed as BirdLife International's Important Bird Area.

critique: The area is marsh-like, not the bay area.

critique: The answer should mention the duckboards.

question: What does the story say about the wildlife conservation in Vanhankaupunginselkä?

answer: Vanhankaupunginselkä is part of, and surrounded by, several districts in Helsinki. The area has a natural border of wetlands in the east and a bay in the west. The article mentions landing planes, several lakew species of resident and migrating birds, and humid weather. The area is governed by strict regulations and given the right to handle and prosecute any authorities who defy these regulations.

critique: The article does not mention landing planes.

critique: The article doesn't mention anything about landing planes.

critique: "area has a natural border of wetlands in the east and a bay in the west." - is incorrect. This sentence does not make any sense. This sentence also does not tell readers that the area is a natural conservation area (wetlands). The correct sentence should have properly explained the natural border of wetlands. The correct sentence should've been rewritten.

critique: The area is not governed by strict regulations.

text: The answer should mention the conservation zone.

question: What does the article say about nature versus nurture?

answer: No answer

critique: It is omitted that the topic is not discussed in the article.

critique: The answer should mention the strict rules on the area.

“Where am I? Who are these people around me?” I thought to myself when I first woke up. I slowly lifted myself up and rubbed my eyes thoroughly as if there was something in them, but nothing was. I looked over; a lady kindly greeted me and handed me a folder. As soon as the folder was within my possession I knew what must be done; it was pure instinct. I immediately opened it up and read all of the information.
I remembered that my name was Bob Lamron. I am 23 years old, have neither children nor a wife; they were only given to you if you had proven yourself faithful and intelligent enough. I asked the women who handed me the folder where I was and what events had occurred that left me in this situation. She just looked at me and smiled.
Two rather large males, who appeared to be body guards disguised as physicians, led me out the front door. As soon as I walked out, a car appeared out of nowhere. From the car came a robotic voice; it addressed me by name and commanded me to enter the automobile. As I got in the car, the voice spoke again. It asked me what my home address was. I had no clue; I could not even remember if I had children 10 minutes ago. How was I supposed to answer the voice with details of my forget life? The women who had presented me with the folder, a nurse, that I had woken up next to, ran out of the building and handed me the same folder that I had left behind in the room. I opened it up and aloud, “2534 Egareva Rd.” As soon as the words had left my mouth, the taxi immediately sped off, presumably to the address.
As I saw the things I passed by I started to remember details, like I had never forgotten them at all. Trees, Birds, people, restaurants, fountains, everything! It was all flooding in as if there was a dam in my brain and it had just been ruptured without notice. We arrived at my house and I opened the front door. I walked into my room and sat down. I could not recall the events that had occurred before I woke up. It was like the dam of knowledge in my mind had been concealed. My mind had locked away any memories of the events and I could not do anything about it. The more I thought, the more my head hurt.
It felt like one of those moments when you are mid conversation with someone and another person, uninvolved in the conversation, calls your name. You stop talking in order to address the interjection of your name, but when you try to come back into the original conversation, you can’t remember what you were talking about no matter how hard you try. I sat there on my couch and tried as hard as I could to recall what had happened.
I then positioned myself so that I could see out of the window. I saw a grey, bleak world. Everything was so average, so normal. The only color people were given permission to wear were different shades of grey. The lighter your color, the higher up your social class was. I was just an average grey.
As I was thinking through all of this, my eyes were fixed upon a section of peeling paint in the right corner of my peripheral vision. For some reason I knew I was supposed to go over to it; it was like I had some kind of cosmic urge. My hand lifted from my side and I started to peel the paint. It came off fairly easily, far too easier than any paint should have, for that matter. Suddenly, I saw something concealed under the peeling paint. I knew I had to uncover it. As I tore the paint off a fit overcame me. Next thing I knew, I was tearing, ripping, and enjoying this more than anything I had enjoyed before. I was ripping everything in sight off the wall.
I stepped back and looked at my wall and there was writing everywhere. The memories started flooding back into my head of what had happened. I had uncovered something big. The government had been spiking everyone. Now they wouldn’t just bug a room, or a camera in a park to see what was going on, they were putting microphones in you. They had put chips in your brain so that they could see, think, hear, and smell everything you have ever come in contact with. Knowing I had just remembered this I knew they would be after me. I shut the blinds and closed the door in my room.
I lightly lifted a blind cover and looked out the window. I saw a slim, black, shiny car pulled up to the front of my building. The same two men who had accompanied me out of the hospital got out of the black car. I sat there shaking, wondering what I could do. The second I saw them barge in through the front door, I jumped out of my second story bedroom and landed on the pavement. My ankle buckled and I felt a sharp pain but I knew I had to get out of here and tell someone what is going on. I screamed names but no one would listen to me. I was living in a selfish world where people only cared about themselves. I gave up. I fell to the floor, my ankle throbbing, and looked at the door to my building, expecting the two men to walk through. I was doomed.
The two men eventually came out of my building and grabbed me. They didn’t say a word; all they would do is stare straight forward. Then they put me in the back of the car and drove off. It was the exact same route that led back to my house. I had only been out for an hour, at most and here I was, being dragged back.
When I got there the female nurse was sitting there with a needle filled with what appeared to be a sedative. As she inserted it in my vein, two doctors walked into the room. The first said, “Okay, begin sedation and we’ll get ready for the micro-chip reset.”
The other doctor responded, “Looks like this one didn’t turn out to well again like the last time.”
	As they finished their sentences I realized something. They have been resetting everyone until they get every single one of us to be perfect for their society. They don’t want people to have character or personality; they are just looking to create the most generic human being, like emotionless robots. As I thought this, I started to black out.
“Where am I? Who are these people around me?” I thought to myself when I first woke up. I slowly lifted myself up and rubbed my eyes thoroughly as if there was something in them, but nothing was. I looked over; a lady kindly greeted me and handed me a folder.

Criticism is why I'm here. Wrote for a creative writing class and would love some help.

title: Deja Vu

question: Summarize how the main character feels when he figures out what is happening to him.

answer: The main character becomes very angry and frustrated when he figures out what is happening to him. He is mad that he has been mislead and tricked. He wants to know what is going on, why he has lost his memories, and where the authorities are taking him. The main character is also worried that he may be punished for uncovering the ugly truth, and that no one will believe him.

critique: The story doesn't mention the main character being misled and tricked.

critique: The answer omits the main character's helplessness.

text: This answer is off base. The narrator doesn't seem to be angry. He seems to be overwhelmed and scared when he realizes what is happening, which is shown when he jumps out of the window to get away from authorities.

question: Summarize the sequence of events from when the main character woke up.

answer: He was handed a folder with details of himself written therein. He is asked by a disembodied voice to tell the car his home address, and the car drives him home. He begins to remember what happened before he woke up, uncovering some writing under peeling paint at his house, which rekindles his memories. A black car pulls up to take him back. Two men get him out of the black car and go in to his house, presumably to reset the chip in his head.

critique: The answer omits the part where the narrator is taken back to the hospital.

critique: The answer should mention that the two men take him back to the hospital.

critique: The spoken details of his home address is omitted.

critique: The car does not drive him home, he is driven home.

critique: The answer omits the part where the main character wakes up again.

question: Will the main character be able to remember the events of his sedation more quickly each time he is reset?

answer: No answer

critique: The answer should be "no" because the story ends before the question can be answered.

The letter could have been written this morning. Its remorse and embarrassment are as palpable as a thumping headache.

"Yesterday, having drunk too much, I was so intoxicated as to pass all bounds. But none of the rude and coarse language I used was uttered in a conscious state..."

But at least a thousand grape harvests have passed since the words were composed – and sealed in a cave in the Gobi Desert. We don't know who penned the letter, but we do know who found it.

[Aurel Stein takes tea in Lahore in the 1890s.]

And we know where the letter is today. Its emergence is the result of a remarkable but controversial figure, the explorer Aurel Stein, born 150 years ago today.

The haul included the earliest known map of the heavens, a receipt for the sale of a slave girl, medical treatments and Buddhist texts. The greatest jewel was the world's oldest printed book, the Diamond Sutra of AD868.The apology letter, and other model etiquette missives redolent of Miss Manners, was among thousands of documents Stein obtained from a cave near Dunhuang, China, in 1907.

The find saw Stein hailed in the West, then forgotten. Unlike or Howard Carter or Heinrich Schliemann, Stein's name hardly registers today. Yet the results of his trailblazing journeys have transformed our understanding of ancient central Asia, a region of growing global importance.

For decades Stein has sat in the West's too-hard basket, an uncomfortable reminder of the twilight years of the Great Game, when rival powers viewed the treasures in other people's backyards as theirs for the taking.

In China, though, Stein has not been forgotten. He is viewed as the worst foreign devil to travel the Silk Road. Of all the antiquities the British-Hungarian explorer collected during his forays into China's remote west, it is the Dunhuang scrolls that have ignited the most consternation.

Long after Stein was buried in Kabul in the 1940s, the Chinese people continue to "gnash their teeth in bitter hatred" over his actions, according to one China scholar.

Visitors escorted around the magnificent murals within the cave complex at Dunhuang – now a major tourist attraction – are left in no doubt that Stein is still considered a looter and robber.

Yet, on the eve of Stein's 150th anniversary, it is worth asking what the fate of one of the world's great literary finds might otherwise have been?

Stein bought the scrolls in 1907 from a guardian monk, Wang Yuanlu, who uncovered them within a sealed cave in 1900 where they had been perfectly preserved in the dry desert air for a thousand years. Wang had already parted with a few scrolls to curry favour with local officials when Stein arrived.

Stein feared the remainder would be destroyed or lost to scholarship forever unless he "rescued" them. His fears were convenient, certainly, for a man on a mission funded by the British Museum and the Indian government. And he knew he had a bargain, paying just £130 for his haul.

Yet when the cave was discovered, China had little interest in the contents of this hidden library. When the monk attempted to interest authorities in his find, he was simply ordered to reseal the cave.

Eventually alerted to the cave's importance, Chinese authorities ordered the transfer of what remained to the Beijing. Some items were pilfered along the way. And Wang didn't send everything to Beijing. He kept enough to sell to other visitors. The fate of these scrolls is unknown.

Stein's scrolls are now in the British Library, many have been digitised and can be viewed online.

China may one day ask for them back. But unlike the Elgin Marbles or Rosetta Stone, the Stein scrolls are mostly too fragile for permanent display. So arguments about where they should reside boil down to whether they should be kept in a cabinet in London or Beijing.

The more important point is that today they have been catalogued, are being been studied and are available.

Cultural values have changed since Stein loaded his camels with Silk Road treasures. Today it is shocking to think of him – or anyone – digging, chipping and bargaining their way around desert oases in a quest for antiquities to fill museums. We can't rewind the clock.

But we can acknowledge that the scrolls Aurel Stein acquired from the hidden cave library continue to add to human understanding. And that requires no morning-after apology.

question: Summarize the negative views about Aurel Stein.

answer: Stein is considered a looter and robber by the Chinese. He is viewed as a devil and a symbol of the West's greediness, which is especially seen in the Dunhuang scrolls. There is also a note about how the Chinese people feel about Stein's actions.

critique: There is no note about how the Chinese people feel about Stein's actions.

critique: The last sentence is not relevant to the question.

critique: The last sentence is unnecessary. It's already mentioned in the first sentence.

question: Summarize everything relating to Stein's education.

answer: No answer

critique: The article mentions that Stein was educated in Budapest.

critique: The passage mentions that Stein was born in Budapest and studied at the universities of Vienna, Berlin, and Leipzig.

question: Summarize everything relating to antiques.

answer: The apology letter was one of the many documents of etiquette and courtesies that were contained in a cave near Dunhuang, China. The apology letter was in "thousands of documents" Aurel Stein obtained from the cave in 1907. Dr. Aurel obtained many things from the cave, which included a map of the heavens, receipts for the slave girl sale, Buddhist texts and other things. He also could obtain one of the world's oldest printed in books, the Diamond Sutra of 868AD. In China, these things are called antiquities.

critique: The answer should mention that the things Stein obtained are considered antiquities.

critique: The answer should mention that the Diamond Sutra is the world's oldest printed book.

critique: It is not stated that the apology letter was in "thousands of documents" Aurel Stein obtained from the cave in 1907.

critique: The answer should mention that the antiquities are viewed as stolen by the Chinese.

critique: Does not relate to antiques or the Diamond Sutra.

critique: The answer should mention where the documents are today.

critique: The answer should clarify that the Diamond Sutra is the book, not the apology letter.
