text:
The NATIONAL DEFENSE AUTHORIZATION ACT FOR FISCAL YEAR 2008 is a law in the United States signed by President George W. Bush on January 28, 2008. As a bill it was H.R. 4986 in the 110th Congress. The overall purpose of the law is to authorize funding for the defense of the United States and its interests abroad, for military construction, and for national security-related energy programs. In a controversial signing statement, President Bush instructed the executive branch to construe Sections 841, 846, 1079, and 1222 “in a manner consistent with the constitutional authority of the President”.

Section 841

Establishes a Commission on Wartime Contracting in Iraq and Afghanistan. This commission would study federal agency contracting for reconstruction, the logistical support of coalition forces, and the performance of security functions in Iraq and Afghanistan. Some of the most important duties of this commission would be to assess the extent of potential violations of laws of war, Federal law, or other legal precedents as well as assess the extent of waste, fraud, and abuse under federal contracts. These provisions could be the basis for bringing criminal or civil charges against agencies under the executive branch.

Section 846

Provides protection for contractor employees who wish to disclose wrongdoing to a member of the United States Congress or a Congressional committee member.

Section 904

Outlined under “Title IX - Department of Defense Organization and Management”, section 904 deals with the “Management of the Department of Defense”. The section defines the requirement “for improving and evaluating the overall efficiency and effectiveness of the business operations of the Department of Defense and achieving an integrated management system for business support areas within the Department of Defense”.

Section 1079

Directly deals with communications with the committee on Armed Forces in the U.S. Senate and U.S. House of Representatives, in which either the Senate or House could request an intelligence assessment, report, estimate, or legal opinion from the director of a national intelligence center. The section accounts for the possibility of the President invoking executive privilege, and contains a sub-section demanding the White House Counsel prepare a legitimate reason for invoking privilege.

Section 1222

Limits spending and funding for certain purposes relating to Iraq, “(1) To establish any military installation or base for the purpose of providing for the permanent stationing of United States Armed Forces in Iraq. (2) To exercise United States control of the oil resources of Iraq.”

Section 1822

Section 1822 requires the President to “establish a bipartisan Council of Governors to advise the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of Homeland Security, and the White House Homeland Security Council on matters related to the National Guard and civil support missions”.

State immunity exceptions

The 2004 decision of _Cicippio-Puleo v. Islamic Republic of Iran_, which the DC Circuit Court ruled that foreign countries known to be supports of state-sponsored terrorism could not be sued for private cause of action under the current Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act of 1976, even with the Flatow Amendment, affected numerous other terrorism-related lawsuits in the court system at the time. Within the NDAA 2008, Congress expanded exceptions to the state immunity protections granted by the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act. Exceptions were added for torture, extrajudicial killing, aircraft sabotage, and hostage-taking, and specifically making foreign countries that backed state-sponsored terrorism liable for the actions of its officials and agents which may be involved in such state-sponsorship.[1][2]

Signing statement

In signing the law, the Bush administration continued its use of the signing statement to object to parts of laws it viewed as conflicting with what it alleged are the constitutional powers of the unitary executive, especially as they related to national defense and the war in Iraq.[3] The following Sections of the law referenced in the signing statement are listed, along with the possible impact of being mentioned in the signing statement:[4]

-   Section 841: May reduce oversight of contractual abuse in Iraq and Afghanistan.
-   Section 846: Possibly limits protection to contractor employees when disclosing improper actions of the employer.
-   Section 1079: Could limit how much intelligence information Congress can demand from intelligence officials.
-   Section 1222: May limit Congressional oversight in the permanent establishment of U.S. military bases or the use of government funds to control oil resources in Iraq.

critique: The answer should mention the purpose of the law.

critique: The answer should mention the Sections of the law that are controversial.

question: Why was the National Defense Authorization Act controversial?

answer: Not answered in the text

critique: The answer is not in the text, but the text does mention some controversial parts of the act.

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

critique: The answer is not in the text, but it is implied that the signing statement is controversial.

critique: The answer is not in the text, but the text does say that President Bush instructed the executive branch to construe Sections 841, 846, 1079, and 1222 “in a manner consistent with the constitutional authority of the President”.

critique: The text should be able to answer the question.

question: Summarize the four controversial Sections in the National Defense Authorization Act.

answer: Section 841 makes make it possible for the President to reduce encounters the accountability of a contractual.Section 846 would make it impossible for contractor employees to disclose wrongful acts of their employer, Section 1079 reduces intelligence information Congress may acquire from intelligence officials, and Section 1222 limits spending on military bases in Iraq

critique: The answer omits the effect of 1222 on congressional oversight.

critique: The answer should mention the signing statement.

critique: Section 841 doesn't make it possible for the President to reduce encounters the accountability of a contractual, it establishes a commission on wartime contracting.

critique: ). Reorder the problematic Sections according to their appearance in the National Defense Authorization Act: 846, 841, 1079, and 1222.

critique: "Section 841 makes make it possible for the President to reduce encounters the accountability of a contractual." - this is incorrect. The commission established by section 841 would study federal agency contracting for reconstruction, the logistical support of coalition forces, and the performance of security functions in Iraq and Afghanistan. Section 846 is the one that restricts contractor employees from disclosing wrongdoing to a member of the United States Congress or a Congressional committee member. Section 1079 restricts the amount of intelligence information Congress can demand from intelligence officials. Section 1222 limits spending on military bases in Iraq.

PAUL CHENAILLER, (6 May 1904, Paris – 18 June 1960, Quéven) better known under the pseudonym COLONEL MORICE, was in charge of the French resistance in the Morbihan region Brittany during World War II.

In 1940, at the beginning of the war, he was a “capitaine au long cours” and “lieutenant de vaisseau de réserve”. After some reconnaissance missions at Le Havre, he relocated to Cherbourg, where he took command of the _Marie-Gilberte_ and sailed from Casablanca in Morocco. In 1941, he was demobilised and relocated to the city. He immediately involved himself in the resistance, dealing with the general resupply of Morbihan. Chenailler took the name _Colonel Morice_ after the arrest by the Germans of the commander Maurice Guillaudot, whose responsibilities he then assumed. As the regional commander of the Armée secrète, he assembled and organised different forces, and achieved the amalgamation of the Armée secrète and the Francs-tireurs et partisans into the Forces françaises de l'intérieur. He became commander of an army which would number as many as 12,000 fighters.

Throughout the winter of 1943-1944 Chenailler took delivery of numerous arms drops. From 6 June 1944, at the time of the Normandy landings the arms drops increased at Saint-Marcel, near Malestroit, and soldiers from the 4eme bataillon d’Infanterie de l’Air (2eme RCP / 4eme SAS) were also parachuted in. On 18 June, the maquis de Saint-Marcel was attacked by the Germans, but the parachutists of the SAS and the maquis fighters succeeded in containing the attack and retaliating after nightfall. In August, after linking up with the Allied forces, Chenailler was at the front line at Lorient and at la Vilaine with general Borgnis-Desborde.

At the end of the war, Chenailler was promoted to the rank of Frigate captain, while still remaining lieutenant-colonel of the Armée de terre. He was the founder and director of the daily newspaper _La Liberté du Morbihan_, which had a circulation of 22,000 in 1954, and was distributed in Lorient at the surrounding area.

critique: The answer misses to talk about his promotions after the war and his founding publications after he resurfaced.

question: What does the text say about why Chenailler used the pseudonym, Colonel Morice?

answer: No answer

critique: The response misses to mention that Chenailler used the pseudonym Colonel Morice after the arrest of the commander Maurice Guillaudot.

critique: "No answer" - add a possible answer: Chenailler used the pseudonym Colonel Morice because the Germans arrested and killed commander Guillaudot and assumed his responsibilities.

critique: The text does not say why Chenailler used the pseudonym.

critique: The response is incorrect in that it does not answer the question.

question: What does the text say about the attack on the Maquis de Saint-Marcel?

answer: When the Germans attacked the Maquis de Saint-Marcel, the parachutists of the SAS and the maquis fighters contained the attack and retaliated after nightfall. The Germans were defeated.

critique: The answer is incorrect. The text does not say anything about the Germans being defeated.

critique: The answer should mention the date of the attack.

critique: The question asks about the attack, not the Germans.

critique: The response should include the date of the attack.

critique: This answer doesn't make too much sense without some more detail about the battle. Additionally, there are other details about the battle, so it would be better to omit the line about the Germans being defeated.

critique: The response inaccurately mentions that the Germans were defeated, however the text doesn't mention it.

critique: "The Germans were defeated." - this is inaccurate because the text doesn't mention who won the battle.

NICOLAS CARONE (June 4, 1917 – July 15, 2010) belonged to the early generation of New York School Abstract Expressionist artists. Their artistic innovation by the 1950s had been recognized internationally, including in London and Paris. New York School Abstract Expressionism, represented by Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning, Franz Kline, Conrad Marca-Relli and others, became a leading art movement of the postwar era.

Biography

Carone was born June 4, 1917 into an Italian-American family in New York City. They moved to Hoboken, New Jersey, where he grew up. He began formal art studies at the age of eleven at the Leonardo da Vinci School located at St. Mark's Church on E. 10th St. He studied at the National Academy of Design under Leon Kroll, Art Students League of New York, Hans Hofmann School of Fine Arts, and the Rome Academy of Fine Arts.

In 1941 he won the Rome Prize and in 1949 a Fulbright Fellowship. Both gave him an opportunity to study art in Italy. During his time in Italy after World War II, he came into personal contact with important Italian painters, particularly Giorgio Morandi.

After returning to the US, Carone continued to paint and exhibited works in the 9th Street Art Exhibition in 1951. Along with other first generation abstract expressionists, he also showed his work at the Stable Gallery.[1] Carone was a part of the Abstract Expressionist movement, which relied heavily on Surrealism, poetry, and interpretations of Jungian psychology. He was a good friend of Jackson Pollock, a noted abstract painter. He was later interviewed by authors Steven Naifeh and Gregory White Smith for their biography, _Jackson Pollock: An American Saga_.

Nicolas Carone's work is in the collections of museums including the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, the Baltimore Museum of Art, and the Mobile Museum of Art. Recent exhibits of his work were held at the Washburn Gallery in New York City from February 2 to March 31, 2012,[2] and the Watson MacRae Gallery in South Florida from March 2 to April 3, 2010.[3] His work was exhibited by a number of galleries, including at the Anita Shapolsky Gallery, Frumkin Gallery, Stable Gallery, and Staempfli Gallery.[4]

Carone taught at universities including Yale University, Columbia University, Brandeis University, Cornell University, Cooper Union, School of Visual Arts, and Skowhegan School. He was a founding faculty member of the New York Studio School of Drawing, Painting and Sculpture, where he taught for 25 years. In 1988 he founded the International School of Art, located first in Todi, Italy and then in Nearby Montecastello. Carone was consulted by dealers, collectors and film makers regarding his expertise on Arshile Gorky and Pollock, including for the films _Pollock_, starring Ed Harris, and _Who the *$&% Is Jackson Pollock?_[5]

He died July 15, 2010 at the age of 93.[6][7][8]

The ANASTASIAN WAR was fought from 502 to 506 between the Byzantine Empire and the Sasanian Empire. It was the first major conflict between the two powers since 440, and would be the prelude to a long series of destructive conflicts between the two empires over the next century.

Prelude

Several factors underlay the termination of the longest period of peace the Eastern Roman and the Sassanid Empire ever enjoyed. The Persian king Kavadh I needed money to pay his debts to the Hephthalites who had helped him regain his throne in 498/499. The situation was exacerbated by recent changes in the flow of the Tigris in Lower Mesopotamia, sparking famines and flood. When the Roman emperor Anastasius I refused to provide any help, Kavadh tried to gain the money by force.[1]

War

[Roman and Persian Empires in 500, also showing their neighbors, many of whom were dragged into wars between the great powers.]

Kavadh I's campaign of 502

In 502, Kavadh quickly captured the unprepared city of Theodosiopolis, perhaps with local support; the city was in any case undefended by troops and weakly fortified.[2] Martyropolis also fell in the same year. Kavadh then besieged the fortress-city of Amida through the autumn and winter (502-503) and captured it after a lengthy siege, although the defenders were unsupported by troops.[3] Many people, particularly the population of Amida, were deported to Pars and Khuzestan in Persia, in particular, to the new city of Veh-az-Amid Kavad (Arrajan).[4]

Anastasius' campaign of 503 and Kavad I's counterattack

The Byzantine emperor Anastasius I dispatched an army in May 503 against the Sasanians. The army was the largest Roman force in the East since Julian's invasion of Persia. The force gathered at Edessa and Samosata. It operated in three divisions under _magister militum per Orientem_ Areobindus, _strategos_ Patricius, and Hypatius. Hypatius and Patricius attacked Amida, which was held by a 3,000-strong garrison under Glones. Areobindus, together with Romanus and the Arab _phylarch_ Asouades (Aswad) (probably a Kindah leader) attacked Nisibis, in which Kavadh I was residing.[5][6] Procopius also mentions Celer as a fourth commander.[7] Notable officers associated with this force include _“hyparch”_ Apion I (the Egyptian),[8] _comes_ Justin (the future emperor),[9] Patriciolus and his son Vitalian (who later revolted against Anastasius), the Colchian Pharesmanes, and the Goths Godidisklus and Bessas.[10]

Initially, Areobindus gained the upper hand in Nisibis, but Kavadh I's counterattack defeated him, plundered his fort Apadna, and forced him to retreat westward; Hypatius and Patricius attempted to assist him, but it was too late.[11] They failed to join with Areobindus and were decisively defeated between Apadna and Tell Beshme and retreated to Samosata. According to Zacharias, their cavalry suffered heavily during the retreat, falling from the cliffs of mountains. Kavadh continued westward to Constantia but failed to capture it, though received supplies from its inhabitants. In early September, Kacadh reached near Edessa. Areobindus rejected Kavadh I's demand of of gold in exchange for peace. Sasanians and Lakhmidss overran much of Osrhoene but attempts to attack the fortified city failed. Meanwhile, Byzantine forces under Pharesmanes attacked Amida, who killed the Sasanian commander Glones through cunning. This, together with Hunnic incursions, the arrival of Byzantine reinforcements, and Kavadh I's lack of supplies, all forced him to withdraw to Persia. This further contributed to the reputation of Edessa as being impregnable.[12][13] Meanwhile, the _dux_ of Osrhoene, Timostratus, defeated the Lakhmids, and the Tha'labites (Byzantine Arabs) attacked Lakhmid capital al-Hira.[14]

Anastasius' renewed assault

In the summer of 503, Anastasius sent reinforcements under _magister officiorum_ Celer and canceled taxes from Mesopotamia and Osrhoene, while Hypatius and Apion were recalled. Patricius moved to Amida, defeated a force sent against him, and invested the city; Celer joined him later in the spring of 504. While the siege was ongoing, Celer raided Beth Arabaye, while Areobindus raided Arzanene. Sasanian weakness at this point is apparent by defections to the Byzantine side by the renegade Constantine, a certain Arab chief Adid, and the Armenian Mushlek. The Byzantines eventually captured Amida.[15][16]

Peace treaty

In the same year, an armistice was agreed as a result of an invasion of Armenia by the Huns from the Caucasus. Negotiations between the two powers took place, but such was the distrust that in 506 the Romans, suspecting treachery, seized the Persian officials; once released, the Persians preferred to stay in Nisibis.[17] In November 506, a treaty was finally agreed, but little is known of what the terms of the treaty were. Procopius states that peace was agreed for seven years, and it is likely that some payments were made to the Persians.[18] The Persians did not keep Byzantine territory and no annual tribute was paid so it seems the peace treaty was not harsh on the Byzantines.[19]

Aftermath

The Roman generals blamed many of their difficulties in this war on their lack of a major base in the immediate vicinity of the frontier, a role filled for the Persians by Nisibis (which until its secession in 363 had served the same purpose for the Romans), and in 505 Anastasius therefore ordered the building of a great fortified city at Dara. The dilapidated fortifications were also upgraded at Edessa, Batnae and Amida.[20]

Although no further large-scale conflict took place during Anastasius's reign, tensions continued, especially while work continued at Dara. This construction project was to become a key component of the Roman defenses, and also a lasting source of controversy with the Persians, who complained that its construction violated the treaty agreed in 422, by which both empires had agreed not to establish new fortifications in the frontier zone. Anastasius, however, pursued the project, deflecting Kavadh's complaints with money.[21] The Persians were in any case unable to stop the work, and the walls were completed by 507/508.[22]

critique: The answer does not mention the famine and flood that exacerbated Kavadh's need for money.

critique: The response is missing the cause of the war.

critique: The answer could be clearer about the debt Kavadh owed to the Hephthalites and how it ties into the war.

critique: The response misses to mention that the Sassani king decided to get the money by force.

critique: The answer should mention the famine and flood that exacerbated the situation.

critique: It is omitted that the situation was exacerbated by recent changes in the flow of the Tigris in Lower Mesopotamia, sparking famines and flood.

critique: The response does not explain how the invasion was related to the money.

critique: Doesn't mention that the Roman emperor Anastasius I refused to provide any help.

critique: The answer should mention the famine and flood.

critique: This is relevant but omits the major spark of the war.

Natural health is a comprehensive healing system that believes that nature has all the answers. The system works on the fundamental premise that when our bodies or minds are out of balance, mental or physical illness develops as a consequence.

_‘The natural healing force within each of us is the greatest force in getting well.’ Hippocrates_

Most natural health practices and therapies have certain similarities. For example, most therapies including ACUPRESSURE, CRYSTAL THERAPY, REIKI, PRANIC HEALING, ACUPUNCTURE AND ENERGY HEALING work on the principle that our bodies and minds are nourished by energy (the ancient Chinese called this life-energy ‘Chi’).

This life-giving and healing energy runs along special energy pathways called meridians. Energy flows to all our cells, tissues, organs and organ systems and any disruption in energy flow results in illness. Natural health practitioners believe that whenever one or more of these energy pathways become blocked, we suffer from mental, emotional and physical health problems.

Contrary to popular opinion, natural health is not some new age mysticism or ‘magic’ treatments. In fact, natural therapies were practiced by ancient civilizations including the Chinese, Indians, Egyptians and so on. Nature’s powerful healing abilities were explored and utilised effectively for thousands of years. Natural health therapies including AYURVEDA, AROMATHERAPY, FENG SHUI, HERBAL MEDICINE AND MASSAGE were used as far as back as 3,000 years.

STRESS AND NATURAL HEALTH

Natural health is based on a strong scientific and objective basis and is becoming increasingly popular all around the world. One of the biggest reasons for health problems in the twenty-first century is increasing stress and the devastating side-effects associated with it.

Rising living costs, demanding careers plus household and family responsibilities have resulted in an unprecedented increase in stress. Stress management is a key step towards overall well-being and health.

Natural therapies like YOGA, MEDITATION, SOUND THERAPY, CRANIOSACRAL THERAPY, COLOUR THERAPY AND MINDFULNESS help you release stress and hidden pain out of your body and mind. The most important fact about natural health is that the system treats the body, mind and spirit as a single, connected entity.

We often harbour pain, tension and worry in the deep recesses of our mind. Unresolved stress takes up residence in our bodies and minds as latent pain and manifests itself in various ways. Very often, if we have undergone traumatic experiences as a child, we may have buried the memories deep in our psyche.

But the unresolved pain rears its head in the form of mental, physical and emotional health conditions. We may experience stiffness, aches and imbalance in the mind-body-spirit system. Natural health therapies treat the entire system instead of just offering symptomatic cures.

Healing therapies like HYPNOTHERAPY, HOLISTIC HEALING, EFT (EMOTIONAL FREEDOM TECHNIQUE), COUNSELLING, SOUND THERAPY AND ART THERAPY allow you express your innermost feelings, fears and beliefs through various mediums like talking, drawing etc.

The underlying objective of such therapies is to access our hidden phobias and self-limitations, acknowledge them and finally release them forever. Natural health practitioners believe that letting go of emotional or mental pain results in healing at multiple levels.

THE MODERN DAY WORK CULTURE

Similarly, working in cramped office cubicles, hunched over a computer all day leads to several muscular problems. Poor posture, lack of physical exercise and internal stress combine to produce a host of muscular ailments such as neck sprains, backaches and shoulder pain. Muscular problems are one of the biggest reasons behind employee absenteeism in offices around the world.

It’s very important to understand the cause before opting for any treatment. For example, a stiff or misaligned muscular tissue in the neck may manifest itself as a pain in the upper back. Only a trained practitioner will be able to identify the exact cause and recommend a suitable treatment.

Natural health therapies such as CHIROPRACTIC, DORN THERAPY, YOGA, BODY HARMONY, PILATES, MYOPRACTIC, KINESIOLOGY AND MAGNETIC THERAPY help relieve pain and strengthen your neuromuscular systems. The best part about natural health therapies is the lowered risk of side-effects.

‘CORE ENERGETIC THERAPY’ can help you enjoy enhanced stamina and improved energy levels. OSTEOPATHY practitioners believe that all medical conditions can be traced to a misalignment of bone, muscle and tissue. Application of appropriate pressure and manipulation to your muscles proves effective in pain alleviation and relief.

Today’s fast-paced and hectic way of life rarely leaves any time for healthy cooking. As a result, we eat processed, easy-to-cook food that has often been stripped of its nutrient value before arriving on the supermarket shelf. Inadequate nutrition leads to a host of health conditions including obesity, low immunity and diabetes. Natural health practitioners like DIETICIANS AND NUTRITIONISTS can help you choose a healthy diet that provides the right level of nutrition.

CONVENTIONAL MEDICATION AND NATURAL HEALTH THERAPIES

Although the western medical system has its numerous uses, it’s also a fact that it is associated with unpleasant side-effects. For example, flu medication very often results in upset stomachs.

The gap between alternative and conventional medicine is gradually blurring; you don’t have to make a choice between the two options – they work extremely well alongside each other. This way, there is a higher likelihood of healing faster than you expected. Moreover, the results are more likely to be lasting.

Patients who receive regular natural treatment (like YOGA, MEDITATION, HYPNOTHERAPY etc) in the aftermath of a major surgery are known to recover faster and with fewer aftercare methods.

Natural health systems believe that all medical conditions can be treated after a detailed physical examination. The treatments are highly individualistic as practitioners believe that each of us is different and may experience unique symptoms which may differ widely.

Serious conditions including facial paralysis and cervical spondylosis can also be treated with natural treatments like ‘CUPPING’.

We all possess the natural ability to heal ourselves. _Natural health works by promoting and stimulating the body’s natural ability to heal itself._

For maximum benefits, it’s important to give the treatment time to work – there are no quick fixes in natural health. You must also make it a point to list all the medication/drugs or treatments that you have been prescribed.

While natural therapies may be considered as a form of holistic healing, they are as based on physiological evidence and anatomy as modern medicine. Oftentimes, they are less invasive and more economical compared to traditional medicine.

ARGENTINA - SERBIA RELATIONS are foreign relations between Serbia and Argentina. Diplomatic relations between Serbia and Argentina existed before the Second World War and were restored by SFR Yugoslavia in 1946. Serbia has an embassy in Buenos Aires and Argentina has an embassy in Belgrade.[1]

Argentine position on Kosovo

In 2008, after _Kosovo_ declared independence as a _Republic of Kosovo_, Argentine Foreign Minister Jorge Taiana said “if we were to recognise Kosovo, which has declared its independence unilaterally, without an agreement with Serbia, we would set a dangerous precedent that would seriously threaten our chances of a political settlement in the case of the Falkland Islands”. Argentina will not recognize also because it “supports the principle of territorial integrity”. Additionally, he stressed that the 1999 UN Resolution 1244 called for the mutual agreement of all parties to solve the dispute. He said that President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner would not give any official statement on the issue, reiterating that there would be no recognition of Kosovo.[2][3]

Drug busts

[Embassy of Serbia in Buenos Aires] In November 2009, Argentine Police arrested 5 Serbian drug couriers and seized their 492 kilograms of cocaine in Buenos Aires.[4] On 31 October 2009, Serbian police arrested over 500 people in the biggest ever anti-drug operation carried out in Serbia.[5][6] Many of the drugs had passed through Argentina as well as other South American and European nations before being smuggled into Serbian borders.[7]

Visits

On April 14, 2008 Serbian Minister of Foreign Affairs Vuk Jeremić visited Argentina, and agreed with Argentine Foreign Minister Jorge Taiana, on a series of joint steps within international multilateral institutions related to Serbia's diplomatic approach to Kosovo. Argentina will support the initiative of Serbia within the UN General Assembly to ask the opinion of the International Court of Justice on the legality of recognising Kosovo's unilateral independence and will actively advocate that this initiative is supported by Latin America countries and within the Non-Aligned Movement and Mercosur. During the visit it was agreed that Taiana will visit Belgrade in June and President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner in 2009.[8]

It was in the dead of night when I was snatched from my home. I was lying asleep beside the ones I love, under the stars with the cool wind gently whistling past me. It all happened so suddenly, the grinding noises of a machine filled the air as I heard the muffled screams of my brothers and sisters being torn from their resting places. Before I could even attempt to make a run for safety, a large metal arm scooped me up and put me in a cramped room of some sort. It was completely dark, I could only experience the crushing weight of others like me above my head and hear the cries of younglings who couldn’t find their families.

After some period of time the ruckus settled down and we all awaited some development in our terrifying situation. Outside the walls of our confinement odd grunts and wicked guffaws could be heard. It was nothing I recognized, no species I had ever heard of. Anticipation built as everyone heard the odd noises and thundering steps advance towards us. To my dismay, the room began to move. Another sickening grunt ensued as the cell was lifted into the air and laid down with a thud. We then began to slide forward until we crashed into some sort of wall. I tried to figure out was was happening, but I was startled by a orchestra of cacophonous noises. Rattles, bangs, and growls of a different machine started rekindling the loud uncontrolled panic that the group had experienced before, and it was only heightened when the machine began to move us. Slow at first, but soon we we’re flying faster than any bird I had ever seen in the open sky.

It was two days before I experienced the comfort of sight again. We were all dumped together into a large shiny cage with a hole in the bottom. One by one we would fall through to who knew where. I slowly got closer and closer, all the while the increasing sounds of evil machines humming and that unknown language filled my head. I fell through defenseless as some black material pulled me forward at a constant rate. It was at this time when I learned the source of the groans. These odd sand colored creatures were picking at me, clipping off pieces of my body, and spraying me with a bitter, bright colored water. They paid no attention to the agony I suffered, they continued to work on me, providing no explanation as to what was happening. They just kept ripping at me and spraying me with that tainted water. I withstood as much as I could until finally my body could take no more, and all turned black.

I woke up later to the hum of the machine which moved with great speeds. I was once again in a room, smashed against fellow brethren, and none of them knew any more that what I did. We had all undergone the same brutal treatments, and we had all seen the sand colored creatures who inflicted our pain. We tried to figure out why, but none of us reached a consensus. It was decided to drop the topic because none of us were going to benefit from fretting over something we couldn’t control. I personally decided to rest, for I was feeling quite ill. It must have been the water they gave me I told myself, then I did my best to go to sleep.

It wasn’t long before I was once again flooded with bright light, and I was ready to  experience the hell of the creature’s machines and sickly water. To my surprise, this place was different, but just as odd. I was on some sort of display, surrounded by my own kind, and some other species that I had never seen before. Not like the sand colored creatures though, these creatures look just as scared and confused as I was. And when I observed my kind, I noticed that they all looked like they were dying, their outsides were beginning to turn brown, and as I checked my own body, I noticed it was doing the same. I felt awful, I know I wasn’t healthy, I could practically feel the life leeching out of me. I was craving pure water, luckily that one desire of mine was fulfilled. Every so often a spritz of water, almost like a early spring mist would rain down upon us. I deduced that it was enough to keep us alive until who knew what. The only thing that I knew was that my days left on this precious Earth were limited.

Sand colored people started examining us. They would come to our display, lift us from our resting places, look us over, and they would either take us away or they would place us back where we were before they had taken us. It was an odd sight, there were all shapes and sizes of these creatures; they seemed to travel in packs. There was a leader, sometimes two, and they were often followed by smaller replicas. On occasion I would see a solitary creature walk past looking sad, almost lonely. I needed to know what these things were and why they were treating us as they were.

I had been in the display for some time before I was finally taken. One of the lonely creatures had stopped by and picked me up along with one of my neighbors. We were violently tossed into a smaller enclosure that it was pushing around, full of other victims it had taken. For some time we were still in the giant room that held our display and we were being pushed around. Other things that I had never seen before were being stacked on top of us. It was torturous, the weight of these items crushed against my weak body, and I was more vulnerable than I had ever been. It was odd however, after a short period of time, we were taken from the enclosure and placed in some sort of sack. From there we went out to the world that I had not seen for so long. The sun kissed my aching outsides, and I once again saw the birds that I had missed oh so dearly.

That brings me to where I am now. After being taken back out to the world I had missed, I was quickly placed back into one of those machines that move so quickly. The time I was in the machine was much shorter than any I had spent before, and we were soon in an enclosure that only our captor seemed to live in. We were placed on a surface, and it began to experiment. The other one like me went first, I remember him quite fondly. I believe he was already dead, which was good for I witnessed him being dismembered by the sand colored creature and thrown into a round basin. He was mixed with others who had suffered the same fate. Some were small red creatures, others were little cylindrical orange creatures, but the most prominent species in the basin was that of my own. The green leaves laid in the basin dead and in pieces. Next he was covered in some sort of thick, foreign liquid. After dousing those poor creatures in the liquid, he stabbed them all with a four tonged weapon of some sort and ate them, right in front of me. The creature seemed to be repeating a noise that sounded like salad, I have no clue what that is. The only thing that I know is that these will be my last words, I hope someday, someone will find this and uncover the mystery of the sand colored creatures who murdered me and all I loved.

A small study has found evidence that religious and spiritual experiences activate the reward circuits in our brains in a similar way to love, sex, gambling, drugs, and music.

The research on 19 Mormon subjects found that, when they were asked to "feel the spirit", their brains lit up in a very familiar way - almost as if they'd taken a hit of a drug, or listened to their favourite song.

To be clear, this was a very small study, involving only 19 young Mormon adults, so we can't read too much into the results just yet, because despite the headlines out there, there's not enough evidence to claim that "This is your brain on God."

But they're among the first results to show how individuals' brains respond to the idea of God, providing a fascinating insight into the important role religion plays in human mood and decision-making.

"We're just beginning to understand how the brain participates in experiences that believers interpret as spiritual, divine or transcendent," said lead researcher Jeff Anderson from the University of Utah.

"In the last few years, brain imaging technologies have matured in ways that are letting us approach questions that have been around for millennia."

Whether you subscribe to religious beliefs or not, it's undeniable that religion has been a major shaping force on human society throughout the ages. So understanding the way it makes people feel provides important insight into one of the biggest influencers on our species.

To get an idea of what was going on, the researchers worked with 19 members of the Mormon church aged under 40, including 7 females and 12 males. All of them described themselves as devout and had completed one or two years of full-time missionary work.

They were put in an fMRI scanner and shown a variety of content meant to get them to "feel the spirit" - an important aspect of the religion that refers to a feeling of peace and closeness with God in oneself and others. These feelings are what Mormons base a lot of their decision-making processes on.

The hour-long fMRI exam included:

-   6 minutes of rest
-   6 minutes of watching a video detailing the Mormon church's membership statistics
-   8 minutes of literature quotations falsely attributed to Mormon and world religious leaders
-   8 minutes of reading familiar passages from the Book of Mormon
-   12 minutes of watching church-produced video of family and Biblical scenes
-   Another 8 minutes of quotations.

Throughout, participants were asked to describe what they were experiencing.

Almost universally, they reported a response similar to an intense worship service, including feelings of peace and physical sensations of warmth. Many were in tears by the end of the scan, the researchers note.

Their brains were being scanned the whole time, and the results showed an interesting pattern. The regions that lit up were part of the reward circuit of the brain, which researchers also know is stimulated by things like drugs, junk food, and sex.

[1-thisisyourbr]Jeffrey Anderson

This part of the brain is known as the nucleus accumbens, which is also referred to as the 'reward centre', because it controls feelings of addiction and plays a role in the release of the 'feel-good' hormone dopamine.

To investigate further, the team asked participants to push a button when they felt a peak spiritual feeling, and the brain scans showed that peak neurological activity occurred about 1 to 3 seconds before they pushed the button.

Their heart rates also sped up, and breathing deepened at the same time.

"When our study participants were instructed to think about a saviour, about being with their families for eternity, about their heavenly rewards, their brains and bodies physically responded," said team member Michael Ferguson.

Other regions that lit up were the medial prefrontal cortex - a region associated with tasks involving valuation, judgement, and moral reasoning - and also parts of the brain involved in focussed attention.

Again, it's important to note that this is just one small study on one particular religion - we have no evidence as yet if the brains of people in other religions would react in the same way.

But this is one of the first studies to look into the neuroscience of western spiritual practices, and it's just the start of the project the University of Utah team has planned.

In the future, they hope to find out more about how religion affects the human brain - seeing as it's one of the most important driving forces in many people's lives.

"Religious experience is perhaps the most influential part of how people make decisions that affect all of us, for good and for ill," said Anderson. "Understanding what happens in the brain to contribute to those decisions is really important."

The results have been published in _Social Neuroscience._

question: What does the story say about the relationship between the study participants and the researchers who conducted the study?

answer: The story implies that researchers in the future wanted to find out more about how religion affects the human brain because of its influence on peoples' lives.

critique: "future" - this doesn't make any sense and should be removed.

critique: The answer is irrelevant to the question.

critique: The answer is a little misleading in its second sentence. It would be better to omit the second sentence and replace it with the more important information.

text: This answer does not answer the question. The answer should mention how the researchers distributed the fMRI the test to 19 Mormon individuals while the Mormon individuals performed the test.

refinement: The story implies that researchers in the future wanted to find out more about how religion affects the human brain because of its influence on peoples' lives.

question: What does the text say about rewards?

answer: Religious and spiritual experiences activate the rewards circuits in our brain in a similar way to love, sex, gambling, drugs, and music.

critique: The answer is too vague. It should include more details about the rewards circuits.

critique: The answer should mention the nucleus accumbens.

critique: Rewrite the last part of the sentence for clarity.

critique: The answer does not directly answer the question. It does not mention the rewards circuits being activated. Reword "rewards circuits" in the original text to "reward circuits" to more accurately reflect a change need in the sentence.

question: What does the text say about the power of religious belief in the human brain?

answer: Religious and spiritual experiences activate different centers in our brains in a similar way to love, sex, gambling, drugs, and music. During a small study by researchers on the brains of 19 Mormon adults, their brains lit up in a very familiar way. This suggest that religious and spiritual experiences activate the reward circuits in our brains.

critique: The highlighted sentence is inaccurate. The way their brains lit up was not a very familiar way. It was similar to the way love, sex, gambling, drugs, and music activate the reward circuits in our brains.

critique: The whole text says that religion activates the reward circuits.

critique: The answer should mention that the study was small.

critique: The answer should mention the nucleus accumbens.

critique: The answer should mention that the study is small.

text: "During a small study by researchers on the brains of 19 Mormon adults, their brains lit up in a very familiar way" It would be better to just say that a small study by researchers on the brains of 19 Mormon adults exhibited this (in reference to the answer's first sentence).

refinement: Religious and spiritual experiences activate different centers in our brains in a similar way to love, sex, gambling, drugs, and music. During a small study by researchers on the brains of 19 Mormon adults, their brains lit up in a very familiar way. This suggest that religious and spiritual experiences activate the reward circuits in our brains.

question: Summarize the process of the fMRI for the people in this study.

answer: The researchers, who were at the University of Utah, asked people aged under 40 who belonged to the Mormon church, who were loyal believer, to be a part of their study. Seven women and 12 men participated. The participants agreed to have an fMRI placed on their head, which scanned their brain for about an hour. During this hour, there were 6 minutes of rest, 6 minutes to watch a video about the Mormon church's membership, 8 minutes to read from the Book of Mormon, and 8 minutes to watch church produced video, another 8 minutes to read from the Book of Mormon again and another 6 to rest.

critique: The answer is incorrect about the details of the fMRI.

critique: The "6 minutes to rest" during the hour-long fMRI exam does not make sense, since this is found at the end of the hour. Additionally, it is not stated how many times the people read from the Book of Mormon as part of the test.

critique: The participants weren't loyal believers, but devout.

critique: The answer should mention the button-pushing task.

critique: The answer is incorrect on the details of the fMRI.

critique: The answer omits the purpose of the fMRI.

critique: The answer is not a summary but a description of the experiment.

text: It's false that they read from the Book of Mormon twice. They read literature quotes that were falsely attributed to Mormon and world religious leaders. This should be amended.

[The swissinfo.ch building in Bern.]

SWI SWISSINFO.CH is a ten-language news and information platform produced by the Swiss Broadcasting Corporation. Its content is Swiss-centred, with top priority given to in-depth information on politics, the economy, the arts, science, education and direct democracy. Switzerland's international political, economic and cultural relations are other key points of focus. The website is available in ten languages.

History

In the mid-1990s, economic circumstances forced swissinfo.ch to take a new strategic direction. The internet was advancing fast, heralding a new era for the producing journalists and the Swiss Radio International (SRI) audience alike. The German, French, English and Portuguese sites went online in 1999. The Italian, Japanese and Spanish sites followed in 2000, with Arabic going live on 1 February 2001 and Chinese in September of the same year. Within just two years, the internet platform for expatriate Swiss was already better known than SRI's short-wave radio services.

On 21 March 2005, the Board of Directors of SRG SSR decided to reduce the swissinfo.ch service significantly. At the time, the decision was not final and still had to be confirmed by the regulatory body – the Federal Office of Communications – and the Swiss Federal Council. That decision was expected in the autumn of 2005. SRG SSR's intention to cut swissinfo.ch back to a minimum triggered an enormous response from users and readers. There was widespread lack of understanding for the move. The SRG SSR plan for the future was to produce a reduced service in English only. This service was to be integrated into SR DRS. Only specific information for Swiss people living abroad would be provided in Switzerland's national languages. One journalist would be responsible for each language, and the service would be produced by one of the existing SRG SSR enterprise units. In the end, the public had their way. In the summer of 2007, the Federal Council issued swissinfo.ch with a new charter to provide a specific and clearly defined internet-focused news, information and entertainment service.

Peter Schibli became the new editor-in-chief of swissinfo.ch on 1 January 2008. Schibli, who holds a doctorate in law, succeeds Christoph Heri, who retired on 31 March 2008 after a 30-year media career, the last six years of which were spent with the swissinfo.ch editorial team. The new editor-in-chief is charged with fulfilling the content aspects of the Federal Council charter and with positioning swissinfo.ch as a leading nine-language news and information platform for both expatriate Swiss and an international audience with an interest in Switzerland. In November 2008, Schibli became the director of swissinfo.ch. The new editor-in-chief Christophe Giovannini worked for swissinfo.ch from November 2008 until February 2015. In 2013, swissinfo.ch welcomed Russian as 10th language of the information platform.[1] In January 2016, Larissa M. Bieler started as the new editor-in-chief. Today more than 100 persons from 14 nations are working for swissinfo.ch.[2]

Special features

swissinfo.ch's themed dossiers offer a high-quality complement to its websites. Produced specifically for an international audience, these multimedia dossiers examine and present current issues in detail. There is also a special section for expatriate Swiss that gives information on forthcoming referenda and elections. swissinfo.ch is also active on different social media channels: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, etc.

Services

In addition to the websites, information can be called up from or downloaded to mobile devices. The headline service automatically updates computer desktop headlines from the swissinfo.ch homepages. Headlines can also be linked via live news feeds directly to other websites. In March 2017 swissinfo.ch launched a new app (for iOS and Android).[3]

question: What does the article say about the transition to an internet-focused service for swissinfo.ch?

answer: In the mid-1990s, economic circumstances forced swissinfo.ch to take a new strategic direction. The internet was advancing fast, heralding a new era for the producing journalists and the Swiss Radio International (SRI) audience alike. The German, French, English and Portuguese sites went online in 1999. The Italian, Japanese, and Spanish sites followed in 2000, with Arabic going live on 1 February 2001 and Chinese in September of the same year. Within just two years, the internet platform for expatriate Swiss was already better known than SRI's short-wave radio services. On 21 March 2005, the Board of Directors of SRG SSR decided to reduce the swissinfo.ch service significantly. At the time, the decision was not final and still had to be confirmed by the regulatory body – the Federal Office of Communications – and the Swiss Federal Council. That decision was expected in the autumn of 2005. SRG SSR's intention to cut swissinfo.ch back to a minimum triggered an enormous response from users and readers. There was widespread lack of understanding for the move. The SRG SSR plan for the future was to produce a reduced service in English only. This service was to be integrated into SR DRS. Only specific information for Swiss people living abroad would be provided in Switzerland's national languages. One journalist would be responsible for each language, and the service would be produced by one of the existing SRG SSR enterprise units. In the end, the public had their way. In the summer of 2007, the Federal Council issued swissinfo.ch with a new charter to provide a specific and clearly defined internet-focused news, information, and entertainment service.

critique: The response is a copy and paste of the article.

critique: The answer is a summary of the entire article, not just the transition to an internet-focused service.

critique: The text is replete with descriptions of the circumstances in which the new decision came about and describes the series of events leading up to it.

critique: The answer is a summary of the article, not about the transition.

SALLY PAYNE (September 5, 1912 – May 8, 1999) was an American actress. She featured in several B-Westerns in the 1940s.

Career

Payne worked as a model for artists before making her first film, _Hollywood Hobbies_ (1935), where she appeared in the bit part of a tourist. She became a leading actress in B films, usually westerns. She also played in comedy shorts for RKO Radio Pictures and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. She is most remembered for her performance as Calamity Jane in the Roy Rogers western _Young Bill Hickok_ (1940), as well as acting the role of Belle Starr in _Robin Hood of the Pecos_ (1941), where her performing style echoed that of a contemporary, Una Merkel.[1] Just before her association with Rogers ended, her status had enlarged from a supporting-role character to that of first-billed actress.

Payne's characters were usually the tomboy type, often helping men rather than being dependent on them. She frequently wore men's clothing, carried a weapon, drove stagecoaches and rode horses. Her male associates identified strongly with her ability to survive a rough environment like the Old West frontier, but she was never the object of male fantasies. [2]Rarely did Payne's characters become physically intimate with her masculine counterparts; thus if she were called on to display affection of any sort, the relationships never went beyond the strictly platonic. Thus, her persona was that of a female sidekick, but never a lover.

At one point in her career, when a studio told Payne to undergo a rhinoplasty, reporters interviewed her at Cedars of Lebanon Hospital, where she told them, “I've always found it a pretty good nose, but if they want to change it, I guess I'll let 'em do it. Things are that way in Hollywood.”[3]

Later years

After Payne left acting, she ran her own book store[4] and worked as an artist, creating oil paintings for her family and her friends and illustrating a series of children's books.[5]

Personal life

Payne retired from films in 1942 after her marriage to Arthur F. Kelly, an executive for Western Airlines.[6]She had previously been married to William Telaak, a marriage that ended in divorce in 1941.[7]

Death

On May 8, 1999, Payne died in Los Angeles[8] of a stroke at the age of 86.

text:
The scene replays in my head every time a stranger makes eye contact. My brother, hot and sweating in my arms, a whole village standing on the other side of the door. Those harsh, inconsiderate words: “I’m sorry boy, he’s met his fate. There’s nothing we can do for you here. There’s a road right behind you that will take you need to go. Home.” My cheeks flush, I can feel the heat from my anger and the tension in my body as I remember the door slamming in my face. The shock of having a sick child rejected. My body goes numb and I fall to my knees. I must have been crying over my small, helpless brother for a few hours before I stood again. I felt that my knees were working against me. My whole body said “Stay here and hold him longer- He needs this.” I stood and stared and the wooden gate one last time. As my resolve built, my fingertips dug into my brothers’ arms and I re-situated him for the two day journey home.
The doctor had told us that this was the only village with the proper ingredients for the illness. Now, (not that I was aware of this at the time) I was to carry the illness back with me. Somehow I wound up immune. Llerg blessed me in physique and health. So I was not to be a part of the following months of terror. Whole families- deceased overnight. My family forced to leave after a mere three days. The illness swept through the town like a flood and although my brothers’ heart stopped before we hit the village wall and I buried him a day out, I carried the sickness into the village walls.
	I grew up in a small village with others like me. We helped each other, we listened to one another, and we were honest with each other. I was to find out during my travels that the dwellers of said village had in fact, had the necessary remedy. I was just too large to trust. How were they to know that they were safe in my company? I could have bitten off every one of their heads within minutes. Now, after my brothers’ death- I may. I was taught throughout my childhood that if another needed help- you help. Out among people other than my own- I’m finding that getting over on the other, Keeping your head down and your hands quick seems to be the way to get by. There’s no sense of humanity. Just a lot of filthy bastards running around. Wondering how in the hell to make it through the day- doing better than the other man.
	My family lost the shop. We sold family crafted weapons made from the best materials in our half of the world. I’ve been watching and helping my parents run the shop since I can remember. We lost my childhood home. We had to start a new life in a new nearby village where nobody trusted us. “Outsiders!” They would mutter, and then spit on the ground when we passed. My mother became sullen. A beautiful, radiant woman, turned into the shell she’s now become.
	On our Table, there is a flower my mother insisted on bringing with us before we left our home. Her eyes would glint while replaying some foreign, fond memory of our past. It was the only thing that could get her eyes to smile- even if her face never followed suit. I could tell because her eyes would blankly graze across the room and then suddenly cut back to the bluest of flowers in a dank and mundane home. It was her link to a life she once lived as a respected woman. With two beautiful sons. In a town where people saw her.
My parents were arguing over dinner one evening about coin and food. “How the hell am I supposed to get work in a town where nobody has an eye for a trained blacksmith!” he shouted. His voice boomed, he was upset, his words cut. It was the first time I had ever seen him act out in anger towards my mother. To illustrate his point, he swept his large arm across the table and shattered the vase my mothers’ flower was in. What little life she had left in her eyes vanished as she silently started to weep.
My family is broken.
My brother is gone.
	This is why I left to become a hired hand. I protect and kill for coin. I left as soon as the sun went down the next evening. I never said goodbye, because no matter how badly my family hurt for coin- they would never approve of me exploiting my size and strength as a means to make a living harming others. Half of what I make goes home. The other half funds what little supplies I need for the road. I’m sure they know where the coin is coming from- But, who wouldn’t put their moral code aside for ones’ family.
