The plan was to take three friends, and our motorcycles to the summit of Mt. Washington New Hampshire. The planning began in a bar, only this hair brained idea seemed to stick with me more then anyone else. Over beers, me and two friends were thinking of destinations that we could ride our motorcycles to. Being in New Hampshire, ten minutes out of the city and you are in motorcycle heaven. Twisty roads along all the best scenery possible; farms, forrests, and winding roads that follow riversides for hours. The plan was to ride up to Mt. Washington, New Hampshires' tallest peak. A date was chosen about two Sarurdays away.
Over the next two weeks we would plan our route, our stops and where to stop for lunch.
Plans have a way of falling apart. Commitments from friends, especially commitments made at the bar, have a way of falling through. For this trip I would be on my own.
The Saturday morning came, and I sprang out of bed ready for for action. I had my bike a 2006 Honda CBR 600rr, ready to go and recently tuned. I ate a hurried breakfast too excited to get on the road and begin my adventure. I left and jumped onto the highway, a quick blast to get the blood flowing. Merging into traffic with the throttle wide open, shifting through gears  up into sixth. Looking down I was suprised to see my speed. It didn't feel like I was going that fast. Easing up on the throttle and asimulating with the flow of the traffic around me, I took a deep breath and settled into the seat.
The first leg of the journey was about an hour of highway. (this is a classic new hampshire coloquialism: in reference to distance, give the travel time rather then the mileage.) Legal highway riding is usually uneventful. The corners are usually mild, the engine noise is very consistent, it can almost place the rider into a lull or meditative state. You can completely forget everything. The everyday problems of your life are trivial. You aren't quite completely focused but not quite in a trance like state. This can be dangerous because you are travelling on a vehicle that you are actively balancing, at 70 mph. The actual reality is that any small mistake could kill you or leave you seriously injured. That is why the best highway rides are uneventful.
I arrived in Lincoln New Hampshire, and merged onto Route 112, also known as the Kancamangus Highway. (kank-a-mangus) This is where the real motorcycling begins. In the heart of the White Mountains, the motorcycle is free at last. Twisting turns through untouched forrest keep you sharp and alert. The air is sweet, and smells different then city air. Climbing hills with banking turns, the CBR was made for this. The hills peak quickly and just a quickly as I reach the top I am descending in the opposite direction. Constantly working the controls, just to stay on the road, takes all your focus and attention. Racing up the hills are simple enough crack the throttle open and hang on, as I reach the apex of a hill I can feel my stomach lift for a moment as the road quickly turns, I feel as though I'm going too fast to hold my line. Trusting my tires and my technique, I stay on the gas and look as far down the road as I can see. Descending hills with turns at speed is equally challenging. I make a wise decision to downshift, the engine revs up and I lose a bit of speed and gain a bit more time before the corner. I take an intentionally wide entrance to the turn, and as I lean in I can see the corner opens up into a long downhill straightaway. I open the gas all the way and let the bike stay in the lower gear until the engine crescendos.
At the base of Mt. Washington there is a small field and a small shack. Its two dollars to take the auto road to the top. The man in the booth gives me a sticker "this motorcycle climbed Mt. washington" Thats a bit premature, I thought, but I accepted it and pulled over just past the shack. I got off my bike and stretched my legs. You can't see the summit from here but you can tell this mountain is quite steep. Meandering around I see a plaque. Travis Pastrana next to a Subaru, world record ascent, very quick time , forget the time but he looked happy.
I mounted back onto my bike and began my ascent. I was suprised the road was paved. The road is nice and there are lots of trees, every now and then in the trees would be a clearing, and I could see how much altitude I was gaining. At this point the riding was very mellow. The road was paved but with very old pavement. There were cracks and potholes everywhere. I was taking in the scenery and enjoying the ascent. needing to keep my speed well below 30. Cars would wave me past, I guess figuring I was more nimble then they were amongst the bumps and holes. As I  made my way above the treeline, the pavement ends. It is replaced by a smooth dirt road. It is easy to ride on even on a sportbike. The views are spectacular even before the summit. I can see the nearby mountains, and their peaks, a sea of green forrest in painted variance that is impossible to capture. As the dirt road continues upward wrapping up the sides of the mountain, the colors around me change from green to brown. Gone are the trees and pavement, replaced by basketball sized rocks, jagged and sharp lining the road. Peering over the edge quickly makes me wish I hadnt. It is a long way down, a mistake would surely be fatal. Roads below look pencil thin, cars on then look like they could be crushed if you were to step on them.
When I do reach the top, I am surely the only motorcycle, and an out of place one at that. Most of the other vehicles are four wheel drive SUVs and dirt splattered subaru outbacks. My CBR is next to spotless and looks very bright. I park the bike and find a rock to put under my kickstand. Up a small staircase to the mount washington weather center the wind picks up. Mt. Wahington is one of the windiest places on earth. Even on a mild day down below, the temperature, is easily 30 degrees cooler at the summit, and the wind is constant. The wind pushes  around 30 mph, and gusts to 50 every minute or so. There is a large concrete structure at the top. Inside the building are some historic photos, black and whites of some tough looking men who built the road to the summit. Also cheesy t-shirts of a tourist hanging onto a flag pole being blown horizontal by the world record wind. I left empty handed from the gift shop and went back outside. I took one more long look out from the top. Annother plaque indicated that on a clear day, you can see skyscrapers in  Boston, some 200 miles away. I made my way back to my bike and started her up, and turnded it around. From there I began a long and winding road home.

TOMATOMETER: 50% AUDIENCE SCORE: 54% IMDB: 5.5

Coming from the director who gave us Will Ferrell’s _Step Brothers_, we immediately get a sense of what’s coming in _The Package_. A big, warm, emotional core surrounded by a sea of juvenile crassness. But this is why it succeeds. Unlike other entries such as American Pie, _The Package_ balances out its ludicrously immature story with sincerely kindhearted characters and a directing-style suited for more big-budget film fare. This isn’t a B-movie meant to be relegated to a worst-case viewing scenario when your Netflix queue just isn’t loading. It’ll deliver plenty of laughs, unusually well-choreographed action sequences and genuinely heartfelt moments, a strange set of outcomes for a movie whose premise is a guy accidentally cutting his penis.

The Plot

Sean (Daniel Doheny), Donnie (Luke Spencer Roberts), and Jeremy (Eduardo Franco) are about to head off camping into the woods, celebrating Sean’s brief return from a German school for the summer break. But the bro-cation is cut short when Sean and Donnie find out they won’t be alone. Jeremy has invited his sister Becky (Geraldine Viswanathan) and her friend Sarah (Sadie Calvano), quite a problematic scenario since Sean has a crush on Becky and Donnie just broke up with Sarah.

With the invitation too late to rescind, they head off into the woods and have a drunken caper at night when Jeremy leads away from the group for a little piss, with a switchblade in hand. Sean and Donnie, thinking it’s a good idea to surprise him, do just that. Unwittingly in his drunken stupor, Jeremy loses his most prized possession. What follows next is an hour and a half adventure where four friends reconcile and reconnect in the hopes of saving Jeremy’s penis.

The Package (2018) Trailer
Cinematography and Score

The only other work of director Jake Szymanski that I’ve seen is _Step Brothers_, where Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly play the titular characters who can’t stand each other. While that film didn’t boast a strong visual direction, Szymanski’s more recent entries, high-stakes parodies like _7 Days in Hell_ and _Tour de Pharmacy_, do.

He brings the same over-the-top intensity to The Package, treating the movie like a high-stakes action film under the care of an auteur. Slow motion sequences, ultra-close closeups, and music to match. There are some wildly vivid and visually hyperfocused scenes in this movie, unnerving given the premise, but its balanced out with spells that play out as a routine comedy.

The Characters

Add to this some genuinely decent characters, and we have a winning combination. The four leads aren’t the kinds of people you’d find in a typical adolescent movie. These aren’t football players or your usual bros talking about dicks. These are your dorky teenagers, both in appearance and mind, and it’s a mix of people that you don’t come across often.

For one, Geraldine Viswanathan isn’t your white blonde co-lead. Daniel Doheny is your uber-friendly highschooler, the one you go for help with homework or other academically-inclined support. Luke Spencer Roberts and Eduardo Franco, though channeling their best version of crass sex talk, are hopeless romantics at heart, both striving for meaningful relationships with the women in their lives. Sadie Calvano’s IT girl exterior is counterbalanced with a more measured and sensitive heart. These characters care about things, the things most teenagers would care about at their age, but it’s approached from the point of naive sincerity, making them more agreeable than the teenagers you might find in an American Pie if you will.

Appealing to Our Inner Teenager

There’s an inherent laugh factor built into _The Package_ appealing to our inner teenager, making us giggle or laugh everytime we hear the word “dick” or “penis.” There’s no way around it. The characters aren’t saying it because they can, or because they want to be crass. They’re saying the word because they’re dealing with a dick. There’s no avoiding it.

On top of this, the fact that they’re talking about a friend’s dick, a friend whose sister is also present, amplifies this childish gag. And they aren’t dealing with just a friend’s dick. They’re dealing with his cut dick. Having these multiple layers of context, turn the words “dick” and “penis” to a more heightened sense of humor. Penis enlightenment if you will.

Using this indispensable laugh factor, writers Kevin Burrows and Matt Mider concoct some outlandish scenarios to draw out even stronger comedy material, using the word and coupling it with typically troubling situations. It all comes to a head when the group must convince an eleven-year-old to hand the keys to his father’s boat while the old man is fly-fishing. A good cop-bad cop routine follows, and it’s not easy on the eyes.

Conclusion

I was highly skeptical going into The Package, expecting the story to reach a low ceiling for its laughs and character development. I was wrong to come in with this assumption and can say wholeheartedly, that you can suck on this thing for an hour and a half.

question: What does the text say about re-attaching Jeremy's severed penis?

answer: No answer

critique: The text does not mention anything about re-attaching Jeremy's penis.

text: The response should mention that the premise of the film is about Jeremy losing his penis, but the text does not mention how Jeremy goes about re-attaching it.

category: coverage

question: What does the text say about the movie "The Package" in general?

answer: The Package is a movie directed by Jake Szymanski (who also directed Step Brothers) and it stars Geraldine Viswanathan, Eduardo Franco, Luke Spencer Roberts, and Daniel Doheny. It's about four friends who go on a camping trip and must save Jeremy's (Eduardo Franco) penis after his drunk brother accidentally cuts it with a switchblade. The movie was well executed with a big, warm, emotional core surrounded by a sea of juvenile crassness.

question: Summarize the main plot of "The Package".

answer: The four friends Sean, Donnie, Jeremy, and Becky go camping into the woods and have a drunken caper at night. Jeremy leads away from the group for a little piss, with a switchblade in hand. Sean and Donnie, thinking it's a good idea to surprise him, do just that. Unwittingly in his drunken stupor, Jeremy loses his most prized possession. The four friends go on an adventure to try and find Jeremy's penis.

critique: The answer should mention that Jeremy loses his penis.

critique: Jeremmy's friend says his sister is coming, and not his sister.

question: What does the text say about the characters in the movie?

answer: The characters in the movie are not the kinds of people you'd find in a typical adolescent movie. These are your dorky teenagers, both in appearance and mind. The characters care about things, the things most teenagers would care about at their age, but it's approached from the point of naive sincerity, making them more agreeable than the teenagers you might find in an American Pie.

critique: The answer should mention the main characters.

BRAZIL–NIGERIA RELATIONS refers to the current and historical relations between the Federative Republic of Brazil and the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Brazil and Nigeria maintain a traditional and diversified relationship, with a strong Nigerian influence on Brazilian cultural and social formation.[1] Both nations are members of the Group of 77 and the United Nations.

History

During the Atlantic slave trade, Portugal transported many African slaves from Nigeria to Brazil, primarily to the Brazilian State of Bahia.[2] In the 19th century, many emancipated Afro-Brazilians traveled to West Africa to settle. Brazilians in Nigeria became known as _Agudas_ and created a Brazilian quarter in Lagos.[3] A census taken in 1888 by the British colonial government in Nigeria recorded 3,221 Brazilians in Lagos.[4]

In October 1960, Nigeria obtained its independence from the United Kingdom. Brazil was the only South American country invited to Nigeria's proclamation of independence and both nations established diplomatic relations.[5] In 1961, Brazil opened a resident embassy in Lagos and in 1966, Nigeria opened a resident embassy in Brasília.[6] Initially, relations remained relatively basic, centered more on cultural sentiments and historical affinity than on any deep commercial connection.[7]

In 1983, President João Figueiredo became the first Brazilian head-of-state to visit Nigeria. In 2005, Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva paid a visit to Nigeria and the Brazilian embassy in Lagos was transferred to Abuja. That same year, President Olusegun Obasanjo became the first Nigerian head-of-state to visit Brazil.[8] There have been several high-level visits between leaders and foreign ministers of both nations.

Brazil and Nigeria continue to maintain close cultural links. There have been joint efforts between Nigeria's Centre for Black and African Arts and Civilization and the Brazilian government (through Brazil's Special Secretariat) to promote policies on racial equality.[9] In December 2019, Brazilian Foreign Minister Ernesto Araújo paid a visit to Nigeria and met with Foreign Minister Geoffrey Onyeama.[10] During his visit, Foreign Minister Araújo stressed that three fundamental pillars should guide Brazilian-Nigerian cooperation: economy (trade and investment), defense and security, and the enhancement of human relations. Furthermore, both nations cited the potential of agricultural cooperation, with the development of technologies for agribusiness that ensure greater productivity without putting the environment at risk and highlighted the bilateral agricultural development program called _Green Imperative_.[11]

What is it?

What is juvenile arthritis?

Juvenile arthritis is the term used to describe arthritis in children. Children can get arthritis just like adults. Arthritis is caused by inflammation of the joints. A joint is where two or more bones are joined together. Arthritis causes

-   Pain.
-   Swelling.
-   Stiffness.
-   Loss of motion.

The most common type of arthritis in children is called juvenile idiopathic arthritis (idiopathic means “from unknown causes”). There are several other forms of arthritis affecting children.

Juvenile arthritis is a rheumatic disease, or one that causes loss of function due to an inflamed supporting structure or structures of the body. Some rheumatic diseases also can involve internal organs.

What are the symptoms?

What are the symptoms of juvenile arthritis?

The most common symptoms of juvenile arthritis are joint swelling, pain, and stiffness that don’t go away. Usually it affects the knees, hands, and feet, and it’s worse in the morning or after a nap. Other signs can include:

-   Limping in the morning because of a stiff knee.
-   Excessive clumsiness.
-   High fever and skin rash.
-   Swelling in lymph nodes in the neck and other parts of the body.

Most children with arthritis have times when the symptoms get better or go away (remission) and other times when they get worse (flare).

What causes it?

What causes juvenile arthritis?

Scientists are looking for the possible causes of juvenile arthritis. They are studying both genetic and environmental factors that they think are involved.

Juvenile arthritis is usually an autoimmune disorder. A healthy immune system helps a person fight off harmful bacteria and viruses. But in an autoimmune disorder, the immune system attacks some of the body’s own healthy cells and tissues.

Scientists don’t know why this happens or what causes the disorder in children. Some think that something in a child’s genes (passed from parents to children) makes the child more likely to get arthritis, and then something else, such as a virus, sets off the arthritis.

Is there a test?

Is there a test for juvenile arthritis?

There is no easy way a doctor can tell if a child has juvenile arthritis. Doctors usually suspect arthritis when a child has symptoms of:

-   Constant joint pain or swelling.
-   Skin rashes that can’t be explained.
-   Fever along with swelling of lymph nodes or inflammation in the body’s organs.

To be sure that it is juvenile arthritis, doctors may:

-   Perform a physical exam.
-   Ask about family health history.
-   Order lab or blood tests.
-   Order x-rays.

How is it treated?

How is juvenile arthritis treated?

Doctors who treat arthritis in children will try to make sure your child can remain physically active. They also try to make sure your child can stay involved in social activities and have an overall good quality of life.

Doctors can prescribe treatments to reduce swelling, maintain joint movement, and relieve pain. They also try to prevent, identify, and treat problems that result from the arthritis. Most children with arthritis need a blend of treatments – some treatments include medicines.

Researchers are also trying to improve current treatments and find new medicines that will work better with fewer side effects.

Who treats it?

Who treats juvenile arthritis?

A team approach is the best way to treat juvenile arthritis. It is best if a doctor trained to treat these types of diseases in children, called a pediatric rheumatologist, manages your child’s care. However, many children’s doctors and “adult” rheumatologists also treat children with arthritis.

Other members of your child’s health care team may include:

-   Physical therapist.
-   Occupational therapist.
-   Counselor or psychologist.
-   Eye doctor.
-   Dentist and orthodontist.
-   Bone surgeon.
-   Dietitian.
-   Pharmacist.
-   Social worker.
-   Rheumatology nurse.
-   School nurse.

Living With It

Living with juvenile arthritis

Juvenile Arthritis Affects the Whole Family

Juvenile arthritis can strain your child’s ability to take part in social and after-school activities, and it can make schoolwork more difficult. But, all family members can help the child both physically and emotionally by:

-   Getting the best care possible.
-   Learning as much as you can about your child’s disease and its treatment.
-   Joining a support group.
-   Treating your child as normally as possible.
-   Encouraging exercise and physical therapy for your child.
-   Working closely with your child’s school.
-   Talking with your child about his or her condition and feelings.
-   Working with therapists or social workers.

Exercise Is Key to Reducing Symptoms of Juvenile Arthritis

Pain sometimes limits what children with juvenile arthritis can do. However, exercise is key to reducing the symptoms of arthritis and maintaining function and range of motion of the joints. Ask your child’s health care team for exercise guidelines.

Most children with arthritis can take part in physical activities and certain sports when their symptoms are under control. Swimming is a good activity because it uses many joints and muscles without putting weight on the joints.

During a disease flare, your child’s doctor may advise your child to limit certain activities. It will depend on the joints involved. Once the flare is over, your child can return to his or her normal activities.

Other Medical Problems

Other medical problems related to juvenile arthritis

Inflammation inside of the eye that can cause swelling, redness, and damage to the eye tissue is a severe medical problem that can occur in children with juvenile arthritis. Sometimes there are no symptoms, so all children with juvenile arthritis need to have regular thorough eye exams.

Some children with juvenile arthritis also have growth problems. Depending on the severity of the disease and the joints involved, these may include:

-   Bone growth that is too fast or too slow. This change in growth rate can cause one leg or arm to be longer than the other. Other children may have a small or misshapen chin.
-   Uneven joint growth.
-   Slow overall growth. Doctors are exploring the use of growth hormone to treat this problem.

question: What are the symptoms and causes of juvenile arthritis?

answer: It can be caused by an autoimmune disorder where the immune system attacks healthy cells and tissues. Some cases are hereditary. Sometimes these ailments are painful, stiff, and inflamed.

critique: The answer omits mention of swelling, loss of motion, and other symptoms that are linked to juvenile arthritis.

critique: 'Sometime these ailments' is phrased awkwardly.

question: What are the guesses scientists have about the causes of juvenile arthritis?

answer: The guess is that something in a child's genes makes them more likely to get arthritis.

critique: The answer should include the other guess scientists have about the causes of juvenile arthritis.

critique: "The guess is that something in a child's genes makes them more likely to get arthritis." - the guess scientists have about the causes of juvenile arthritis is referred to as a "possible" cause. Change "guess" to "possible" and add that scientists are looking for the possible causes.

critique: The answer omits the second guess scientists have about the causes of juvenile arthritis.

critique: It is omitted that scientists think that something in a child's genes (passed from parents to children) makes the child more likely to get arthritis, and then something else, such as a virus, sets off the arthritis.

question: What do doctors do to treat juvenile arthritis?

   "Shut the fuck up, lets roll!"

   "Wut!?"

   "Step away from the crack pipe I mean my drums or we'll be late, dipshit!"

   "Oh yeah..."

...

   Bael was the last bicycle allowed across the bridge.  The officer crossed the roadway after Bael passed and said to Rael,

   "Pedestrians aren't allowed on the bridge as the cruiser passes under."

   "But that's my brother there that you let cross ahead of me."  It was nearly a hundred yards before Bael realized Rael wasn't following.  He stopped and noticed the officer had crossed the roadway to talk with Rael, then eventually let her pass. As she rode closer she shouted, "We can't be on the bridge when the boat passes."  Bael didn't think that they would get such a surreal view of a Navy ship steaming up the Willamette.  He thought it was strange to see a military ship. This was new for him, Bael hadn't lived in a Port city before. For the rest of the ride he thought of what it would look like to see war at home. Then snapped out of it and gave thanks to his great friends for hauling his heavy instrument around.

   Rael usually stood in the center of the room whenever and where ever Bael's band played.  She stood in the center of the room at any show. In fact, she just liked being in the center of rooms. At first it was of an OCD nature, where she had to be in the center of the room for some geometrical reason that even she hardly understood.  As she grew out of her minor obsessive compulsive tendencies and listened to more live music she found that the center of the room usually sounded the best in her opinion.  Occasionally there was an incompetent sound engineer running the sound system.  Rael being somewhat obsessive compulsive, and controlling would have to ask if the engineer would lower or raise the sound of an instrument, or adjust the high or low frequency levels.  Rael was kind of weirded out by this particular peculiar sound engineer.  He had a strange way of staring at her, and when she first noticed, he looked away suddenly then back in her direction but not directly at her as if he hadn't been staring at all.  This had been going on since she arrived. He was always staring at her if she looked in his direction.

   "Bael, tell the sound guy to cut some of the lows when you guys play, it sounds like shit. I would but he's fucking weird." The music was loud and Rael had to lean close to her brothers ear.

   "Haa!" She just stared at him and Bael realized she was serious, he nodded once. "...ok." He said to himself.  Bael went straight to the engineer and without thinking twice leaned in and said.

   "You see my girl over there?" Rael was watching confused, angered and embarrassed as her brother pointed her out.  The engineer sat up straight and stared emotionless at Rael. "She asked me to ask you if you're down to fuck. :D  We like you, oh and when my band plays next could you turn down the low frequencies a little?" The engineer turned to Bael with his brow scrunched, confusion and excitement and skepticism wrinkled throughout his face.

   "Uh what? ...yeah, I mean, really? I can turn down the lows sure... uh are you fucking with me? what, a threesome?"

   "Thanks, man.  Yeah a threesome, dude.  You look fun, at least have a drink with us?" The engineer pondered the proposition for nearly a minute, laughing to himself while staring at Rael who was still watching.

   "Fuck you, I don't believe you. You're fucking with me." He turned towards Rael and laughed, then back towards the sound board. "Nice try."

   "Sorry, man just messing around, didn't mean to offend you or anything, thanks for running the sound." The engineer nodded and looked back at the stage as Bael turned and walked back to his curious sister.

   "What the fuck did you say to him, dipshit?"

   "Just told him I was your manager and you do private dances, wanna make some money tonight?"

   "I'll fucking stab you!" She lunged at him and started punching his chest and stomach.

   "Whoa, don't worry lil' sis he doesn't have the cash!" He said while deflecting fists.

   "You're band is like a bunch of amateurs compared to them."  She gestured towards the stage and  Bael laughed.  He didn't care if it was true, this band was killing it.

title: Fucking Rockstars.

question: What does the story say about the relationship Bael has with his sister?

answer: The story shows a sibling rivalry between Bael and Rael. Rael was always in the center of the room at any show. Bael loves her, but knows she can be pretty strange. She is controlling and obsessive. However, she is the one that Bael trusts to get him the needed sound adjustments.

critique: The story doesn't mention anything about Bael loving his sister.

critique: The answer should mention that Rael is angry at Bael for talking to the sound engineer.

critique: Does not mention that Rael is prone to violence and the cause is Bael trying to score with her.

critique: "Bael loves her, but knows she can be pretty strange. She is controlling and obsessive." - this is incorrect. Bael is the one who's strange. He has a weird sense of humor and is always messing with her.

critique: The answer should mention that Rael is angry at Bael for trying to hook her up with the sound engineer.

critique: The answer should mention that Rael is angry at Bael for messing with her.

critique: The last sentence is irrelevant to the question and should be omitted.

critique: The answer should mention that Rael is angry at Bael for making a pass at the sound engineer.

question: What does the story say about the popularity of Bael's band?

answer: No answer

critique: The answer should mention that the band is playing at a bar.

critique: The answer should mention that the band isn't very popular.

critique: There is a question and an answer so this must be filled.

question: Summarize all instances of characters lying.

answer: Bael tells the sound engineer that Rael is his girlfriend and that she wants to have a threesome with him. He then tells Rael that he was just messing around.

critique: Bael does not tell the sound engineer that Rael is his girlfriend and that she wants to have a threesome with him. He tells the sound engineer that Rael is his manager and that she does private dances.

critique: His lie to Rael happened before he lied to the sound engineer.

critique: The answer should mention that Rael also lies.

critique: It is omitted that Rael tells Bael to tell the sound engineer to cut some of the lows when they play, but he tells the engineer that Rael asked him to ask if he was down to fuck.

critique: The answer should include that Rael lies to the sound engineer about being a private dancer.

critique: "He then tells Rael that he was just messing around." - is irrelevant and should be deleted.

critique: It is omitted that Rael tells Bael to tell the sound engineer to cut some of the lows when they play.

critique: It is omitted that Rael tells the sound engineer that she is his manager and that she does private dances.

text: Bael lies to Rael and says that he told the sound engineer that Rael does private dances.

Before you read, I would just like to let it be known that this is a little short story I made for a homework assignment in my English class. Basically, the background of the story is my teacher played us a song in class, and we had to write down how it made us feel, etc. and we had to take the song and kind of make a story for said song to be used as a background. The mood and tone I got from listening to the song is shown in the story. I really enjoyed writing this and hope you enjoy reading this even more!

     It was quite the night on the 23rd of December in the year of 2006. The Christmas lights glimmered in the blankets of white December night snow. You could feel the tension in the air from kids in dire need of Christmas to be here already. Happiness was a smoke that filled the air and contaminated everyone. Laughing from the mouths of children could be heard all around the block, as Christmas trees began to be erected and decorated in the cozy, warm, homes of people. The Christmas lights of one particular small, white, house of a soon to be family of three were flickered on, as Jon had just arrived home from an amazing day at work. He shut the red door behind him and looked at the beautiful scenery outside. The smoke of happiness contaminated the tall, lean figure with short brown hair and green eyes, as he stroked his icy brown-haired beard, smiling at the thought of December 25th, because not only was it Christmas, a time of family and friends, but also the birth of his first son, with his wife of two years, Jane.
    "Jane? I'm home! Where are you?" Called Jon, in search of his wife. Oh where could she be, he thought. Wait, could it be...? Swiftly Jon moved through the house, in search of his wife. "Jane?" He called again, as he went into the kitchen. The answering machine was flashing red - someone had called and left a message. Jon realized. He realized it. His wife was in the hospital, in labor, with his soon to be baby son, and he wasn't even there. She had to be. Jon took a few deep breaths, as nervousness began to flow throughout his body. His finger had come into contact with the inbox button. The sound of his wife's voice was heard through the answering machine.
     "J-Jon, i-it's your wife, J-Jane. I'm at the hospital right now, I went into labor this afternoon. O-our f-family of three won't be here t-tonight. Please come h-here with me w-when you are h-home from w-work. I l-love you-u." Sobs and sobs were repeatedly heard through the answering machine, as the message ended, a beep buzzed through the answering machine, and the message had ended.
     The mind of Jon had become a numb mind. Numb to the message on the answering machine from his wife. Numb to his thoughts to himself. Numb to the laughs of children all around the block as Christmas trees had been erected and decorated, and the Star of the tree was being put up. Numb to the world. Jon walked around trying to figure out what just happened. His finger had come into contact with  the inbox button. The message replayed. Words spoken from his wife filled his mind once again, as his cheeks began to flush, and tears started to create a rainforest in his beard. Jon walked around his house, thinking about life, his wife, and the future. The family of three. The family of three. The family of three was not meant to be. Jon slumped out of the kitchen, head down, tears running down his face. Sob. Jon walked out to the living room, where stood their Christmas tree, and Christmas presents. Some of which were supposed to be for the additional third in that family of three. Jon stared at the presents. A good, long stare. A stare of despair. Jon picked up one of the Christmas presents meant for that additional third, as he wiped tears from his eyes and beard. It read: To Jimmy. From Santa. In it, the box contained a pair of baby shoes. Baby shoes that were never to be worn.

title: Christmas Time

question: Describe how the season plays into the story line.

answer: The season plays into the story line in the sense that the story takes place during the Christmas season. The story also takes place in the winter, which is also a time of year that is celebrated during the Christmas season.

critique: The response is not a summary of the story.

critique: The story does not take place in the winter.

question: What are some reasons Jon might be reacting so quickly to the message Jane has left?

answer: Jane has just gone into labor and is getting ready to deliver their son. If something goes wrong, Jon could lose his family.

critique: "Jane has just gone into labor and is getting ready to deliver their son. If something goes wrong, Jon could lose his family." - is incorrect. The story doesn't say anything about Jane's delivery, and Jon doesn't know that something went wrong.

critique: No family member was there so he should bone up

critique: The answer is not specific about what could go wrong.

text: It also might be good news. Jane or someone at the hospital might be calling to say that she gave birth successfully.

question: What message does the text seem to want a reader to take away from this?

answer: Perhaps this reveals indifference - maybe they imply that their assigned roles are almost never transcendent enough to leave the "rulebook" at home without any regrets or guilts, as even coming home from work to a crying message is not enough to do much about a damaged relationship.

critique: This is kind of implied, but I don't think it's supposed to be taken away from this

question: Why does Jon so quickly assume that Jane's being at the hospital is bad news?

answer: He seems to have a premonition that something is wrong.

critique: He doesn't really have a premonition, he just assumes that something is wrong.

text: The answer is incorrect. Jon never assumed anything was wrong or Jane being in the hospital was bad news. If anything, he thought she successfully gave birth to their baby son.

In the marketing world, it's well understood that building happyand loyal brand advocates is the key to ensuring a healthy stream of returning customers.

In the recruitment space, many companies fail to recognize the lessons inherent in customerloyaltyschemes. And according to the Bureau of National Affairs, that lack of recognition is costingU.S. businesses an estimated $11 billion in lost revenue -- every single year.

This situation is what we call "employee turnover," which refers to the number of employeeswho leave an organization and need replacing.

Employee turnover is on the rise. It leads to ballooning recruitment costs and a whole host of talent management problems. Theaverage cost to fill a position ranges from $3,000 to $18,000, so it's easy to see how numbers can quickly get out of hand.

But here's the worst part: employee turnover is _entirely_ avoidable.

If your HR department wrestles with this challenge, then understanding its primary causes will help you make sense of the problem.

By implementing a clear and coherent strategy, you can keep top talent happy, engaged and excited.

Measuring Employee Turnover

Measuring employee turnover plays a crucial role in identifying the severity of the problem.

In fact, it's something that should be done on a monthly basis, though you may want to contextualize this by conducting an annual survey as well.

The process is fairly simple. You'll need three figures:

1.  The number of active employees at the beginning of each month
2.  The number of active employees at the end of each month
3.  The number of employees who left during that month

First, add your beginning and ending employee numbers for each month, and divide that by two. This gives you the average number of employees for that month.

  [Beginning Employees + End Employees] / 2 = Average Monthly Employees

Next, divide the number of employees who left during that month by the average. Then, multiply that figure by 100 to get your final turnover percentage.

  [Employees Left / Average Employees] x 100 = Monthly Turnover %

It's important to conduct regular measurements of employee turnover, so you can track fluctuations and better plan for necessary hires.

The Causes of High Employee Turnover

Measuring employee turnover is a good start, but to reduce and overcome it requires a more thorough understanding of its causes and triggers.

Quite often, high turnover is the symptom of one (or many) underlying problems. Rather than throw money at quick-fix solutions, the best approach is to cast your gaze upstream. Ask yourself: What factors are causing staff to leave at such an alarming rate?

To help you better pinpoint and identify where the problem starts, let's cover some of the most common causes of high employee turnover.

1. NO STANDARDIZED ONBOARDING PROCESS

It's surprising how many companies have yet to standardize an engaging and informative onboarding process. Today's world is fast-moving and hyper-connected, so getting your staff up-to-speed is a pivotal aspect that simply cannot be overlooked.

2. EXPECTATION VERSUS REALITY

When hiring managers aren't equipped with the right tools, they can't sell the job properly. This results in hires that don't match job requirements or fit with wider company culture, leading to greater turnover.

3. LACK OF RECOGNITION

People may take a job for more money, but they often leave it for more recognition. At the end of the day, we're all seeking acceptance and appreciation. Find new ways to promote internal success and reward your employees publicly for good work.

4. POOR WORK-LIFE BALANCE

Shifting social values and norms means that today's businesses must account for a healthy work-life balance. If your staff are overcooked and underwhelmed, then simple solutions like flexible or remote working can make all the difference.

5. LACK OF CAREER DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES

It's a natural human instinct to push forward and aspire for more, so make sure your company structure accommodates vertical career development. Regular discussions with employees can help keep both sides aligned and on the same page.

6. EMPTY PROMISES

When attempting to move your star candidate across the line, it's natural to want to promise the moon. Before you do, be careful about what you commit, and don't extend more than you can realistically deliver.

How to Design Better Employee Experiences

Ultimately, high employee turnover is the symptom of a larger, more systemic problem.

To reduce turnover and turn employees into happy brand advocates, companies need to rethink the entire recruitment process. This begins by mapping the candidate journey from start to finish, so you better understand the process candidates walk through.

Once hires are confirmed, it's extremely important to develop a coherent onboarding process that can be scaled across the business. Then, focus on ways you can make employees feel empowered, and deliver on their expectations for growth and development.

Not only will this create happier, more engaged employees; it also has the potential to save you millions of dollars.

question: In a business with a high level of employee turnover, what are the underlying causes of this phenomenon?

answer: No standardized onboarding process; Expectation versus reality; Lack of recognition, Poor work-life balance because of shifting social values and morals; Lack of career development opportunities.

critique: The answer should include the other causes.

critique: "Lack of recognition" and "Lack of career development opportunities" are not causes of employee turnover.

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

critique: "No standardized onboarding process; Expectation versus reality; Lack of recognition, Poor work-life balance because of shifting social values and morals; Lack of career development opportunities." - this is incorrect. The article does not mention the causes of employee turnover.

critique: The answer should include the other causes mentioned in the article.

critique: "No standardized onboarding process" and "Lack of recognition" are the same thing.

critique: I think it's important to mention that employees are leaving because they believe they're not being recognized and appreciated enough.

critique: The answer does not refer to 'expectation versus reality'.

critique: The work-life balance part is a bit unclear.

critique: The response failed to mention some of the other underlying causes of employee turnover, such as empty promises.

critique: The lack of career development opportunities is not the only cause of high employee turnover: it's one of the six causes listed.

critique: "No standardized onboarding process; Expectation versus reality; Lack of recognition, Poor work-life balance because of shifting social values and morals; Lack of career development opportunities" - is not an underlying cause but rather an effect of the turnover in a business. The article also omitted a big contributing cause which is poor management practices.

critique: "shifting social values and morals;" - is redundant to the other two clauses of "work-life balance"

critique: The answer should mention that lack of recognition can be remedied with public recognition.

critique: Label the answer to include "The causes of high employee turnover".

807 NAVAL AIR SQUADRON (807 NAS) was a Naval Air Squadron of the Royal Navy.

Second World War

807 Squadron was formed at RNAS Worthy Down in September 1940, equipped with Fairey Fulmar Is. Three were embarked on HMS _Pegasus_, where they remained until February 1941, when the entire squadron embarked on for convoy duties. Re-equipped with Fulmar IIs in April 1941, 807 Squadron joined and saw action defending the Malta convoys between July and September. Many of the squadron's aircraft were lost in the sinking of _Ark Royal_ in November 1941. Four surviving machines were flown off to North Front, Gibraltar. The squadron was gradually re-equipped with replacement Fulmars, which were joined by Sea Hurricanes, after which the squadron joined . In June 1942 the squadron flew off the carriers HMS _Argus_ and to cover Operation Harpoon.

807 Squadron received Supermarine Seafires in June 1942, and rejoined HMS _Furious_ in August. They took part in Operation Torch, the North African landings, and by March 1943 were back in the UK. By May 1943 the squadron had been assigned to and provided cover for the Allied invasion of Sicily. _Indomitable_ was damaged by a torpedo in July, causing 807 Squadron to transfer to , from which they supported the Allied invasion of Italy. The squadron returned to Britain aboard , subsequently joining the 4th Naval Fighter Wing.

Elements of the squadron were lent to the Desert Air Force serving in Italy for several weeks in April 1944, with the entire squadron flying off HMS _Hunter_ to support Operation Dragoon, the landings in the South of France in August 1944. In March 1945 the squadron joined the Eastern Fleet aboard HMS _Hunter_ and provided cover during the re-occupation of Rangoon, and attacks on enemy shipping in the Andaman Sea.

Recommissioning

The squadron was recommissioned on 1 October 1958 at RNAS Lossiemouth under the command of Lieutenant Commander Keith Leppard. 807 NAS immediately began a hectic work up period and participated in a major exercise 15 days after commissioning. 807 remained at Lossiemouth throughout 1959, working up and taking part in exercises and trials.

Aerobatic displays

In September 1959 the squadron performed in front of thousands of spectators at Farnborough Airshow with a display of formation aerobatics. The naval aviators began their display with a six stream takeoff to form a four aircraft aerobatic team and two soloists. One of the singletons performed a target banner pick up using an extension fitted to its deck arrestor hook. Meanwhile, the four aircraft formation returned for a transonic pass at 700 mph followed by a short aerobatic display devised by Keith Leppard.

Included in this sequence was what the Naval commentator described as an 'original manoeuvre', a fast pass in open box formation with a rapid individual roll by each Supermarine Scimitar; the _Twinkle Roll_ was created. The two singletons touched down from the left and immediately folded their wings whilst one aircraft from the other four detached and approached from the right, landing head on between them.

Ship-based service

On 10 November 1959 Lieutenant N. Grier-Rees RN carried out a successful ejection from a Scimitar when his flying controls locked. The squadron finally embarked on HMS _Ark Royal_ on 3 March 1960 where it remained for the next year, taking part in major exercises and carrying out cold weather trials in the Arctic Circle. In March 1961, 807 transferred from _Ark Royal_ to HMS _Centaur_. Scimitar operations from this ship proved difficult due to her small size and slower speed than _Ark Royal_, resulting in restrictions on launch and recovery weights. This prevented them from being used to their limits; problems that became more acute in tropical climates with little or no natural wind.

Before leaving for the Far East in October 1961 the aircraft were modified to carry AIM-9 Sidewinder air-to-air missiles and AGM-12 Bullpup air-to-ground missiles. The latter were command guided by a joystick in the cockpit of the launching aircraft. Flight refuelling capability was also added at this time. On 21 October 1961 Lieutenant P.M. Hessey fired the first successful live Sidewinder from a British aircraft when he destroyed a meteor target aircraft over the Aberporth Ranges. After seven months in the Middle and Far East 807 NAS disbanded aboard _Centaur_ in Portsmouth on 17 May 1962.

_EINSTEIN AND RELIGION: PHYSICS AND THEOLOGY_ (1999) is a book on the religious views of Nobel prize-winning physicist Albert Einstein by Max Jammer, published by Princeton University Press.[1][2]

Contents

The book includes acknowledgments, an introduction, three chapters, an appendix, and an index. Chapter one is “Einstein's Religiosity and the Role of Religion in His Private Life”. Chapter two is named “Einstein's Philosophy of Religion”, and chapter three is “Einstein's Physics and Theology”.

The introduction

Jammer explains that no biographers have written about the important role of “religious sentiments and theological reflections” in Einstein's life, apart from “occasional references to his early religiosity.” [3] Jammer goes on to show that Einstein's scientific work and some of his more personal views have been welcomed by devout, orthodox theologians in all three of the great monotheistic religions: Islam,[4][5] Christianity,[6] and Judaism.[7] Jammer notes that “extensive use” of “quotations from [sources]” will be used to prevent his own personal biases from creeping into the book. Jammer also notes that although chapter three reflects the opinions of “prominent theologians and scientists,” Einstein himself may well have rejected all arguments based upon them. The introduction extends from pages 3 to 11.

Chapter one

Chapter one of the book begins by quoting and comparing three biographical accounts—Einstein's own, that of Maja Winterler-Einstein, and that of Alexander Moszkowski—of Einstein's early religiosity. By all accounts, for three years young Einstein attended a Roman Catholic elementary school. Next, the chapter explores the evidence of whether Einstein's indifference to religious affiliations his refusal to be bar mitzvahed or his first marriage to Mileva Maric, a member of the Greek Orthodox Church) is symptomatic of a defiance to authority—others claim this to be not only so but also a necessary prerequisite to his scientific achievements.[8][9] Whatever “'hidden complexities'” or “'groping constructive attempts'” might have been necessary for Einstein's watershed physical theories, Jammer concludes that such matters could not have been sociological or political as claimed by Feuer, but could have only involved Einstein's philosophy of religion.[10] David Hilbert's statement “'Do you know why Einstein said the most original and profound things about space and time that have been said in our generation? Because he had learned nothing about all the philosophy and mathematics of time and space.” contradicts several of Einstein's own statements regarding the influence of the empiricism of David Hume and Ernst Mach upon his early work in relativity. Jammer suggests this statement is even more improbable given that Einstein is reported to have read Kant's Critique of Pure Reason, which must have been when he was a teenager.[11] By 1920, Jammer states that Baruch Spinoza had become Einstein's most admired philosopher.[12]

Chapter two

It is about his personal beliefs.

Chapter three

text:
I work as a junior executive at a large investment firm. It started off as an internship while still in university. That was all I needed. It was a foot in the door. I was goal oriented. I was motivated. I wouldn't allow myself to fail. I wasted little time moving up in the company. Before long I was promoted. Then promoted again and again. It didn't matter who or what I sacrificed to do so. It was the cost of doing business.

The value of my bank account and stock portfolio was quickly approaching the millions. I owned a large house in a gated community and a vacation villa in the Caribbean. I had a beautiful wife, whom I met in university and married soon after. We had a seven year old son that attended one of the most prestigious private schools on the eastern seaboard. Though my involvement with his education was limited. I paid his tuition. Thats where it stopped. I knew to succeed in the corporate environment I needed to maintain focus. There was little time for such events as school plays or movie nights at home. Not at this point in my career. My son understood. My wife understood. It was to provide a better future. For them. For us. It was all for a reason. It would pay off in the end.

I was at the airport when my wife called to tell me the school had admitted Jeremy to the hospital with flu symptoms. It was precautionary. It was to ensure the other students wouldn't be exposed. That it was routine. Don’t worry about it. It was normal at this time of year, she said.

I was waiting to board a flight to Chicago to meet a client when she called. They were one of our biggest accounts and had raised some concerns about reports that recently surfaced. The numbers weren't where they expected. Or where we projected them to be. They had questions and wanted answers. The firm didn't have answers. I didn't have answers. There were more important things to worry about than the status of my sons flu symptoms.

This was a meeting that could help advance my career. There were rumours that the Senior Vice President of my department was moving on to pursue other opportunities. I wanted that job. Badly. At age thirty four I would be the youngest senior executive within the company. To achieve this would be a dream come true. If I could appease the client in such a way that they were not only were satisfied with the response, but to increase their investment the job would be mine for the taking.

The meeting was scheduled to take place in three days. This afforded me the opportunity to formulate an appropriate response to the questions that were raised. During this time my wife informed me that the doctors were to keep our son for a few days to run some tests. It was to rule out worst case scenarios. I shouldn't worry she said.

There was little time to worry. The client was expecting answers. I was focused on the meeting and how to keep them from losing faith. They were important to us. They were important to me. It was critical to have this go well. If one client loses faith others are sure to follow. That wasn't an option. We needed this to be a success. I wouldn't allow it to be a failure. Not for me. Not for the company.

The day before the meeting my wife called to update me that Jeremy's doctors were concerned about the results of one of the tests. He was being referred to a specialist so he could be further evaluated. She asked me to come home quickly. He was scared. He missed his father. He wanted me there with him.

The meeting was a resounding success. The client was not only satisfied with the answers I provided, but they were excited about my vision for the future. The firm was ecstatic. I was ecstatic. I was told that when I returned we would discuss my future. I was told there was a huge potential for growth and they wanted me as a part of it.

By the time I returned I was met with several messages from my wife. The specialist was troubled by the results of the tests. There was an abnormality on one of the scans and they wanted to check it out further. Jeremy was scheduled to have an exploratory surgery later that day to help decide what the next step should be. I called to tell her I would be there as soon as possible, but I had to stop by the office first. I told her to tell Jeremy I was thinking of him and that I loved him. That he would be fine. He takes after me.

I was in the board room when the call came in from my wife. I ignored it. I was sitting across the table from the top executives of the firm. These were men I respected. Men I wished to emulate. Men I sought to become. We were discussing my future goals. Where I saw myself in five years. A decade. Several more. Despite her repeated calls, it wasn't the time or place to answer the phone. This was important.

When the meeting concluded my wife had left one message.

“Tim….” She was crying, “........Pl...Please call me...”

I think about the moments I missed. The moments I sacrificed. The birthdays. The first days of school and the recitals I couldn’t make time for. I think of the moments where he was happiest. Where he was smiling. Laughing. Carefree. I think about how scared he must have been. The complications that arose. That there was nothing the surgeon could do.

I think about the fact I wasn't there when he needed me most. I was in a meeting. A meeting I deemed too important to postpone. A meeting that informed me that I wasn't to be considered for the senior VP position. They were looking to hire a person with more experience. They told me they appreciated all the hard work I put in because without that they wouldn’t be where they are today. Keep doing what I’m doing, they said, and my future is limitless.

I think about those that told me how sorry they are for my loss. That I was a good father and he loved me. That he is in a better place. I think about the funeral. He was so small in the casket. So peaceful. As if he was sleeping. He was just a child.

I think about the moments I missed with the delusion it was all for him. To further his life. That was, after all, why I did all this. To give him everything. To provide for him. To give him a future. I’m left thinking that I had more important things to worry about than the status of my sons flu symptoms.

title: [FN] My sons flu symptoms

question: What does the story say about the narrator?

answer: The narrator works as a junior executive at a large investment firm. They are married and have a seven-year-old son. The narrator is goal-oriented, focused and motivated, willing to sacrifice to achieve goals. The narrator has a large house in a gated community and a vacation villa in the Caribbean. However, the narrator works so much that he is absent at most first days of school and all school recitals, being mainly absent at the birthdays of his son. Jeremy is the narrator's son.

critique: There are a few other details that can be added to this response.

critique: It is omitted that the narrator didn't have time to spend with Jeremy due to his business trips.

critique: The narrator is not absent at the birthdays of his son.

critique: It's omitted that the narrator has a successful career, but at the expense of his son.

question: What does the story say about the narrator and his family?

answer: The narrator and his wife have one son who attends a prestigious private school on the eastern seaboard. They met in University and soon married, graduating with an MBA and working at a large investment firm. He doesn't get involved in his son's school work and misses most of his son's early life milestones because he focuses on working to provide a better future for his family.

critique: The answer would be more accurate if it stated that the narrator has a seven-year-old son, not mentioning the absence of a daughter. There is no mention of a daughter in the story.

critique: The narrator has a seven-year-old son, not an MBA

critique: The narrator focuses on his career to provide for his family, not for his own future.

critique: The narrator's wife is not mentioned as having an MBA.

critique: This sentence is repetitive and vague. It should mention how the narrator feels about missing these moments.

critique: The narrator misses his son's life milestones because he's focused on his future.

critique: He didn't graduate with an MBA, so this should be omitted.

critique: He missed school plays and movie nights at home, it should be mentioned.

critique: It is omitted that the narrator's son dies.

critique: The narrator seems to be personally involved in his son's school work, missing his recitals and school plays.

critique: This makes it sound like the narrator's wife is also a career-oriented person.

question: What does the story say about regret?

answer: Tim feels regret because he wasn't there his son when his son needed him the most. Tim feels regret because he missed a lot of moments with his son. Tim especially regrets not being there when his son died.

critique: "Tim especially regrets not being there when his son died" is inaccurate and does not belong in the answer. It should be replaced with the correct information.

critique: The answer should mention that Tim regrets not being there for his son's funeral.

critique: "Tim feels regret because he wasn't there his son when his son needed him the most. Tim feels regret because he missed a lot of moments with his son." - Tim's son is still alive at this point in the story, so this is inaccurate.

critique: "Tim feels regret because he wasn't there his son when his son needed him the most. Tim feels regret because he missed a lot of moments with his son. Tim especially regrets not being there when his son died." - these are three separate things that should be split into three separate sentences.

critique: "when his son needed him the most." - this is redundant and should be deleted.

critique: The answer should mention that Tim regrets not being there when his son was admitted to the hospital.

critique: The answer should mention that Tim feels regret for not being there for his son's birthdays, recitals, and other special events.

critique: The answer should make it clear that Tim was unable to be there for his son only because he was preoccupied with work.

critique: The response misses to mention that Tim regrets missing the calls from his wife, who had to inform him that Jeremy succumbed to his illness.

critique: Tim regrets not being there for his son's birthdays, recitals, and other important events.

critique: The last sentence is inaccurate because Tim wasn't able to be there when his son died.

critique: Tim's regret is not having been there for his son when he needed him the most. He regrets the moments he missed with his son.

critique: Tim does rue the absence he could have made.

critique: The response misses to mention that the regret about being there for his son's last moments and not being able to save him.

critique: The first sentence misses the point; Tim is not regretful because he wasn't there his son when his son needed him the most.

question: What does the story say about spending time with your family?

answer: No answer

critique: The answer is not relevant for the question.

critique: There is evidence to answer this question.

critique: It is omitted that the narrator doesn't spend much time with his family or his son, and doesn't care when his son gets sick.

critique: No answer is given because the story does not talk about spending time with your family.

text: The story has a clear moral: that spending time with your family, especially at the important occasions in their lives, is more important that simply working with the belief that you can provide for their future.

_'Edmund (or EDMOND) Meyrick_' (or MEYRICKE) (1636 – 24 April 1713) was a Welsh cleric and benefactor of Jesus College, Oxford, where scholarships are still awarded in his name. He is a member of the Meyrick family.

Life

Meyrick was born at Garthlwyd, Llandderfel (near Bala, Merionethshire) and christened in Llandderfel on 11 June 1636. He attended four schools, including one year at Ruthin School, before matriculating at Jesus College, Oxford in 1656. He was elected to a scholarship in 1658 and obtained his BA degree in 1659.[1] He was ordained both deacon and priest by Robert Skinner, Bishop of Oxford, on 30 August 1660 in the chapel of New College, Oxford.[2] In 1662, he was elected to a probationary Fellowship of the college, but married in 1663 and became ineligible for a full fellowship. He became vicar of Eynsham on 10 August 1663.[3] He was chaplain to Richard, Earl of Carbery — the Meyricks and the Carberys being related – and this connection led to Meyrick's appointment to a number of lucrative positions in West Wales.[4] Meyrick became vicar of Llangathen in 1665, vicar of Llanegwad and a Canon of St David's Cathedral in 1667, rector of Burton, Pembrokeshire in 1670, treasurer of St David's in 1690 and rector of Penboyr in 1713. He was also a canon of Christ College, Brecon and vicar of Carmarthen; he held many of these positions at the same time. He died in Carmarthen, where he was then living, on 24 April 1713, and was buried in St Peter's Church; a memorial to him was placed on the north wall of the chancel.[5]

Bequests

Meyrick's wife and only child had predeceased him, enabling a more generous disposition of his assets.[6] He had extensive property interests, in both North and South Wales. The family seat was in Ucheldre, Gwyddelwern, Merionethshire and Meyrick also owned several houses in Carmarthen.[7] In 1708, he set up a charity school in Carmarthen but for some reason directed in his will that the school and master should be moved to Bala, where it became the Bala Grammar School.[8] The will provided for an annual payment of £15 to the schoolmaster together with the use of the schoolhouse, and £15 per year for clothing for the students.[9]

His will, dated 25 March 1712, said: He left family property in Denbighshire and Merionethshire, as well as his Carmarthen property after expiration of some life interests, to the college to provide six scholarships of £10 and six exhibitions of £8. The scholarships and exhibitions were to be awarded to Jesus College students from North Wales, until they obtained their Master of Arts degree or were receiving more than £40 per year from a parish appointment. Any surplus was to be used to buy advowsons so that the College might present one of the scholars (or in default of a suitable scholar, a Meyrick exhibitioner or a North Wales fellow of the College) to a parish position.[10] Whilst the estate produced a surplus, only one living was purchased by the trustees, that of the rectory of Llandow in 1735. Further increases in the surplus led to an increase in payments to Bala School and to the scholars and exhibitioners, and to the purchase of other property in Cheltenham and Carmarthen.[11][12] This proved to be a profitable investment since, by 1840, the college had received more than £10,000 through the sale of trust land near Cheltenham for railway purposes. Payments to Bala School ended in 1862, when the annual payments were commuted for a lump-sum payment of £5,333.[13]

Meyrick scholarships and exhibitions are still awarded to students at Jesus College, based on academic merit. Students performing consistently at a first-class standard during the year in the opinion of their tutors may be awarded a Meyrick scholarship, with consistent performance at upper second to first-class standard potentially leading to the award of a Meyrick exhibition.[14] The restriction in Meyrick's bequest that the scholarships were for students from North Wales only was relaxed in 1857 to cover students from all of Wales and Monmouthshire.[15][16] The restrictions have been further relaxed and students who were not born in Wales are also now eligible for a Meyrick scholarship or exhibition if they are the child of a native of Wales, are able to speak Welsh or they were educated for the last three years of secondary school in Wales.[17]

	Small crystalline droplets fell gently into the palm of his hand. The faint sunlight glinted off each one, creating a kaleidoscope of color that only he could see. His eyes turned, the blue in them growing brighter with each drop that fell. He looked into his cupped hand and saw the small puddle that had started to form. The water continued to fall gently and slowly in the soft morning breeze. He exhaled deeply, his breathing forming a cloud in front of him and disturbing the icicle that provided the small bit of water he put appreciately to his dry and cracked lips. He sighed with relief, another cloud of breath came before him.
	His eyes came closer to the triangle piece of frozen moisture that was before him. He saw his reflection in the clear crystal structure and watched as his own face rolled down the side of the ice with each drop of water that fell. He stepped back again, his foot crunching on the snow that was behind him. His large boots keeping him steady on the slippery road as he walked away from the squat, abandoned store he had found. The sun grew higher in the sky, making the ground a blinding white color. The man looked again at the abandoned store. The sign above the store was faded and unreadable, the once red paint peeling off and revealing the cracked and frozen wood underneath.
	The man looked down at his hands again; nearly frozen in his thin gloves. He rubbed his hands together in a fruitless attempt to warm. He crossed his arms once again and stepped tentatively towards the three small steps that led to the already open door. He peered inside the dark one room store and saw nothing but dust and empty cans. The floorboards creaked loudly under his large feet as he continued walking forward. He kicked an empty can aside and heard as it hit the rotted wall with a large clang before rolling down the slanted floor towards the back of the room.
	Dusty shelves lined the shoppe and nothing occupied any of them. The man walked up and down every shelf, his eyes ever vigilant for a morsel of food. His frozen hands twisted together as he grew impatient and disappointed. He finally came to the end of the last row and found himself face to face with a green door. The door seemed new, as though it had never been a part of this frozen wasteland and didn’t have to endure what the rest of the empty shop did.
	He approached the door warily. He hadn’t seen anything that bright of a color in years. The only color out there was white, the endless white fields of snow and ice. He outstretched his right hand, the thin glove brushing the rough wooden door, hardly believing it existed. He moved his hand down the door until he found the cold doorknob. He twisted it gently and the door opened easily. He stepped forward and peered into the room and what he saw he didn’t believe: the room was brightly lit with a lamp in the center of the room. The walls were painted a dark brown color and the carpeted floor was tan and smelled clean. The man walked through the door and onto the soft carpet. Once inside, the door behind him closed with a quiet click. The man looked back for a second and started to panic, then he realized he was warm.
	He quickly forgot about the now locked door that was behind him and started to slowly remove each boot, first the left, then the right. Then he did the same with his gloves. Then his hat. And finally his coat. He lay them all on the carpet in a pile and continued walking towards the lamp in the center. He felt every fiber of the carpet as his calloused feet stepped gingerly on it. He hadn’t seen anything like this is years and could hardly believe it was true.
	The lamp sat in the exact center of the square room. The man reached it in a few easy strides. He stared at it, looked at it from all angles. No chord attached it to an outlet and no knob or string showed where to turn it off. But the man wasn’t worried about turning it off. He had lived in the dark too long and the only light he had seen was the blinding light of the fading sun on the snow; a sun which grew dimmer every day and a snow which grew colder.
	He removed the red lamp shade that covered the fluorescent bulb. He put his hands closer to the light and felt relief as the heat warmed them, a warmth he had not felt in a long time. He reached his hands closer until they were just centimeters from the bulb, soaking up the warmth, fearing that at any moment he would wake up and it would be gone.
	“It won’t leave,” the man turned around and saw a woman behind him. She was beautiful, red lips and red hair. Her skin a porcelain white and her cheeks a bright pink. She wore a skin tight black dress that barely covered her knee and her shoes were tall black heels, impossible for walking in the snow.
	The man stuttered. He hadn’t spoke to another person in a long time, let alone a beautiful woman.
	“Don’t be shy,” she said slyly and she walked forward, her hips swaying slowly and a smile creeping onto her beautiful face. “I’m here to help you.” She reached her hand up and pressed it on his unshaven face. Her eyes were a dark brown and stared deeply into his light blue ones as she leaned in closer and kissed him roughly on his chapped lips. He closed his eyes and relished it, enjoyed the taste of her lips and tongue on his.
	She pulled away slowly. “There, isn’t that better.” The man felt tired. He had never felt this tired in his life. He sat slowly next to the lamp and watched through watery eyes as the woman turned off the light and walked away through the green door.
	“Where are you going?” the man asked, his voice hoarse and rough from not speaking for years.
	“I’ll be back later,” she said. Then she turned and walked into the frozen wasteland.
	The man sat on the floor of the old shop, staring at the dilapidated green door and leaning against the broken lamp that had once warmed the family that lived there. He sat there and weeped as he waited for the woman to return, his hands and feet freezing quickly and turning a dark grey and black. The man didn't move for three days, watching, waiting, and freezing.

title: Alone

question: What does the story say about the man's name?

answer: No answer

critique: This is false and there is a response that can be generated for it. The answer does not say that because the man does not have a name and he belongs to the character or the town.

critique: The answer should mention that the man's name is not mentioned.

question: What does the text say about the story's setting?

answer: The story is set in a frozen wasteland. The man is walking through the snow and ice, and the only color he sees is white. The man finds an abandoned store, and when he goes inside, he sees that the room is brightly lit. The man is warm for the first time in a long time.

critique: The answer omits the fact that the man finds a warm room with a lamp in the center of the room.

critique: The answer omits the fact that the man enters a warm building through a green door.

critique: It's omitted that the man is at night, and it should be stated.

question: What does the story say about the man's relationship with the beautiful woman?

answer: The man was freezing and starving. He was lost in the ice and snow and saw a light coming from inside a building. It was warm and bright, shining from a lamp that did not need electricity to light but was being fueled by an outside source. He was drawn to it and when he got closer, he came face-to-face with a beautiful woman. It was the first time he had seen another person in years, let alone a beautiful woman. He was speechless, his eyes wide open as he saw her coming closer. She was wearing a skin-tight black dress that barely covered her knees and black heels, impossible to walk in the freezing snow. She came closer and kissed him on his chapped lips. She took his hand and guided him back to warmth, the taste of her lips and tongue on his. He closed his eyes and relished the taste. The woman turned off the light and left through a green door, reminding him to meet her there later. The man sat in the room, watching the woman through the dilapidated green door, waiting for her to return. He was freezing and starving and did not move for three days.

critique: The answer is a summary of the story, not a description of the man's relationship with the woman.

critique: The first sentence is irrelevant to the question.

critique: The last few sentences are irrelevant to the question. They're trying to flesh this answer out, but the words "face-to-face with a beautiful woman" are evidence enough of his attraction.

critique: "The man was freezing and starving. He was lost in the ice and snow and saw a light coming from inside a building. It was warm and bright, shining from a lamp that did not need electricity to light but was being fueled by an outside source. He was drawn to it and when he got closer, he came face-to-face with a beautiful woman. It was the first time he had seen another person in years, let alone a beautiful woman. He was speechless, his eyes wide open as he saw her coming closer. She was wearing a skin-tight black dress that barely covered her knees and black heels, impossible to walk in the freezing snow. She came closer and kissed him on his chapped lips. She took his hand and guided him back to warmth, the taste of her lips and tongue on his. He closed his eyes and relished the taste. The woman turned off the light and left through a green door, reminding him to meet her there later. The man sat in the room, watching the woman through the dilapidated green door, waiting for her to return. He was freezing and starving and did not move for three days." - there is a lot of unnecessary information in this response that should be removed.

question: What does the story say about the man?

answer: The man is a traveler who is lost in the frozen wasteland. He is cold, tired, and hungry. He is also dehydrated. He finds an abandoned store and goes in to warm up. He sees a bright light in the center of the room and goes to investigate. He removes his gloves, hat, coat, and boots. He touches the light and feels relief. He removes the shade and feels the heat from the lamp. He falls asleep and wakes up to see a beautiful woman. She kisses him and tells him that she will return. The man waits for her return, but she doesn't return. He freezes to death.

critique: The answer should mention that the man is alone.

critique: "He removes the shade and feels the heat from the lamp." This is incorrect; the man feels relief.

Much of a shop’s success sits squarely on the service manager’s shoulders. With duties that include scheduling work, assigning the right tech for each job, and communicating with customers before, during, and after repairs, the service manager’s job is arguably the toughest one in the shop. He’s like the quarterback of the shop. That’s where fleet repair software comes in. The right program helps with all aspects of the heavy duty service manager job, making it much easier.

Scheduling Work With Fleet Repair Software

Maybe you have a large customer base constantly calling and needing work. Or maybe your shop is still in the growing process. That means having to juggle the increasing work coming in as the business’s reputation builds. Either way, scheduling repairs is a time-consuming balancing act. It requires the heavy duty service manager knowing what customers need and where those jobs fit with openings in the techs’ schedules.

Fleet repair software puts everyone’s schedule in front of the heavy duty service manager at a glance. This helps increase the throughput of the shop, a high priority for all managers. Customers can drop off their trucks and know when they’ll be worked on, and plan accordingly. That alleviates downtime for them and keeps techs busy throughout the day. Everyone would rather have consistent workflow instead of hours of idle time followed by a stress-filled afternoon of trying to cram too many jobs in before closing time.

Assigning the Right Tech for the Job

Heavy duty service repair managers know that picking the wrong tech for the job costs money. Some techs do certain jobs more efficiently, so they take less time to perform specific repairs. That opens the door for the tech to bill more hours in a day and the customer gets their truck back sooner. In other cases, picking the right tech eliminates a possible comeback.

Handling both scenarios properly pushes your profit margin higher and improves customer satisfaction, and it’s all possible with fleet repair software. Just as software keeps the shop schedule at the ready, it also shows which techs are available and when. That way, managers assign the right tech for each job, ensuring quick turnaround, optimal repairs, and happy customers.

Helping the Heavy Duty Service Manager Keep Customers in the Loop

Let’s face it: managing fleet accounts and keeping customers happy directly affects whether you get all their heavy duty repair work or just part of it. Developing a great working relationship takes time. It takes trust, and the more your customers trust you, the more work your shop gets. There’s nothing more frustrating than finding out that work was sent to the dealer or the shop just down the road when your shop could have taken on the job. As a shop owner, you know that the more you work on a truck, the better you can service it in the future. Like a jealous girlfriend, you don’t want anyone else touching those trucks. And you won’t wonder what was previously done on the vehicle and whether it was done right.

Effective fleet repair software takes all of that into account. The program not only acts as a “medical record” for trucks, keeping the service history on electronic file for easy review. Plus, it also keeps the customer in the loop. With a portal available to customers on their mobile devices, they can submit service requests, see their fleet’s history, check on repair progress, approve work, and pay you. That keeps the customer in the loop and gives them access to information. It’s an element of transparency that builds trust and deepens loyalty.

The best part about heavy duty repair software isn’t that it makes the heavy duty service repair manager’s job easier. It’s that it does that on top of doing so much more. The right program optimizes scheduling, work assignments, and customer relations, but it also helps with invoicing, ordering parts, and bookkeeping. In short, heavy duty repair software takes your shop’s efficiency to levels you’ve only dreamed of.

question: What does the article say what are tips for making the service manager’s job easier?

answer: Management needs the heavy duty repair software to optimize scheduling work, work assignments and customer relations which in turn will help with the invoicing process up to the bookkeeping.

critique: The answer should mention the importance of scheduling.

critique: The first sentence is not relevant to the question and should be removed.

critique: It is omitted that the heavy duty repair software will stop the customers from going to other shops. So the author says that the software should be able to handle customer information.

critique: The answer omits the benefits of the software.
