The clearest thing about that night was the slight laugh lines that formed at the corners of his eyes and lingered by his lips. I wanted to trace them, slowly...perhaps with my fingers; perhaps with my own lips. I couldn't quite decide.

I spotted him midway through the show. The band had a Rockabilly vibe and he was the only other person moving to the beat in the tiny space. It was, after all, a local pub with no dance floor. He didn't have a lot of dance moves, but I could tell he loved the music. We smiled at each other and quickly looked away, but our feet kept leading us closer together. Finally, there was only a rough looking Biker between us, covered in piercings. I took a deep breath, placed my hands on the leather-clad gentleman's shoulders, and whispered tantalizingly in his right ear..."Sweetheart, I'm sorry, but you're the only thing between me and the man who's dancing. I'm going to move you over a bit."

And I did just that, guiding the slightly confused guy out of the way, as I slid up next to the man with the shy smile. The band played on, sweat dripping and beer chugging; singing about heartbreak and sex and beautiful women. We danced, bumped into people, made room for ourselves--we twisted and stomped and cheered until our voices were raw and feet sore. "Can I buy you a drink?" he asked with an accent, during a brief pause from the band. "Well, I..." I looked up at his face, at his smile, noticing the laugh lines. "Sure. I'll have whatever you're having." He ducked off while I tried to place it. Aussie, maybe?

He returned a minute later, empty handed. "They won't serve me! They think I've had enough." Though he didn't seem that inebriated to me, I started to laugh. He looked puzzled. "It's your accent! They think you're worse off than you are!" He groaned and we both shrugged and turned our attention back to the music. Back to the beat, back to the rhythm. We danced in tandem but we didn't touch, not even once.

At the end of the show the singer threw his arms around me. "I'm sorry, I'm so sweaty!" I didn't mind. He was giddy, he had thrown all of his joy into that hug, and he released me with the biggest grin on his face. "You boys were fantastic tonight. I'm so glad I came." I hugged the bass player and said my goodnights, while the band had another beer.

Outside, my new friend asked if there was somewhere else we could get a drink. "There's an Irish pub a couple blocks down." I gave him a sideways glance. "Maybe I should order for us." He laughed with me and we headed out. At the pub, I tried to figure out when and how to say what I needed to. I didn't want him to waste his money on buying me drinks, only to be disappointed. In the end I just kinda blurted it out--"I am in a bit of a different relationship situation. I am married, but we see other people...I don't do one night stands, though." He shrugged. "Eh, I'm not sure how to pick up girls, anyway." He was an engineer, though what he really wanted was to be a helicopter pilot. He was in town for work and only had one night to live it up. "I still want to dance! Do you know any nightclubs?"

I took him to the gay bar. It was the nearest place I could think of with a dance floor still going. "You don't mind, do you?" I asked while he took my hand. "Nah. Gay people are pretty good dancers. Is this okay...?" He squeezed my hand lightly. "Yeah, I think so. It's nice." He nodded. Our steps were a little uneven as the alcohol made its way through our limbs.

"So," he said, pausing a little. "If you aren't planning on having sex with me, do you think you could be my wing woman?" I laughed. "Of course."

At the club, we made our way out on the floor and moved and grooved to the awful music. The alcohol made us care a little less about the lyrics and we just followed the beat. We still didn't touch, except the accidental bumps when someone else crashed into us. I nodded towards the pole at the side of the dance floor. "You know, I broke my arm here once." He raised an eyebrow and the corners of his eyes crinkled as he grinned, taunting me a little. "Well, you should get back on the horse then, yeah?" "Yeah, perhaps."

I jumped up, closed my eyes, and moved through two more songs, not daring to look at him. When I came back down he whispered to me "Well, you've got some moves." We had another drink and he looked over the crowd. "I feel bad about chatting someone else up; I'm here with you!" "Go, silly, I brought you here to have a good time. Do what you want to do."

"Well, mostly, I want to do you."

"...Okay, not that. Go on now." I shooed him away, laughing. He talked and danced with a few girls before returning to me. "She just asked me straight up if I'd like a fuck." He motioned to a pretty blonde across the floor. "Oh. That's rather direct. Well then?" "I turned her down." He smiled. I smiled. We danced some more.

When our feet would no longer hold us and I was sure my lungs would burst, we sat on a couch in the corner. "So....what about kissing?" he inquired, as we were close together and comfortable. "Kissing is not a one night stand, is it?" I paused. "I...I don't really know!" "Well it's your rules, silly, what do you mean you don't know?"

His kisses were gentle and warm. I pulled back, blushing. He leaned in again, and I kissed him on the nose and dashed back to the dance floor. He followed. We had one more dance left in us. This time, we moved in close, and I slid my arm around his neck briefly. We moved together--slightly apart, but I could feel the warmth of his chest. Then the song was over, and we pulled away.

Outside, I told him we had two options. "We can go find some food, or part ways here." "Food!" After some discussion, however, we realized that our only option that late was ordering from the 24 hour pizza place. "We could order to my room...?" He was so hopeful. "Not happening, my dear." "Well, you can't fault me for trying," he said sheepishly. I couldn't. I probably would have enjoyed the one night with him, but it really wasn't my thing. I called him a cab and said I could walk home from there, as my house wasn't far. "Will you be alright, though?"

"Probably!"

The walk took me a half hour. I met others on the way, with calls of "Pretty lady!" and "Where's the party?" but I made it home fine, of course. I texted him to let him know I made it, and he replied in kind. The next morning we each texted once to say thanks for the company and we had had a good time. He was the last to text and I left it at that, smiling.

Two days later, I received one more text from him.

"Hi, good meeting you and all the very best, but I would appreciate not texting me as I am with someone and she would not like me getting texts from strange women. I hope you can understand, take care and look after yourself, me."

I would have traced his laugh lines with my fingers after all, I think. Very lightly.

title: Saturday night

question: Describe the rollercoaster of emotions the narrator goes through over the course of the evening with this man.

answer: The narrator first spots the man in the middle of the show. They smile at each other, and the narrator is drawn to him. They dance together, and the narrator is attracted to him. The narrator is also attracted to the man's accent. The narrator is attracted to the man's smile. The narrator is attracted to the man's laugh lines. The narrator is attracted to the man's kisses. The narrator is attracted to the man's body. The narrator is attracted to the man's personality.

critique:
'The narrator is also attracted to the man's accent - it's extremely bad for framing this narrative linearity. The attraction to the accent is injected at a stage long after every other man who shares an accent is also considered. Inexperienced writers should avoid jargon which introduces new plot points.
' is irrelevant and should be removed.

critique: The answer should mention the narrator's attraction to the man's body.

question: Why do you think she feigns nonchalance with regards to her mounting feelings for him?

answer: She is married and has a relationship with someone else. She doesn't want to get involved with him.

text: Pronoun usage is incorrect for both question and the answer.

question: If their genders were swapped, what do you think would have been different about the night? Would it have made a difference?

answer: It's possible the man would have been more forward and less embarrassed about kissing the woman.

Damn. Now I really didn't see this happening. Of all the things to happen at this bland school and this is the shit that happens. Wow. I guess I'm getting a bit carried, let me start from the beginning.
          My school, Jefferson Middle School, is rather boring, nothing really exciting happens here except the occasional girl drama that usally goes like, "Brian likes me! Not you, skany hoe!" And ends in a matter of three days. I'm usually quiet, if you were to call me "popular girl," you would be wrong but calling me a "nerd" wouldn't be right either. I was just sort of there. I had my friends and that's all I needed. That's where this story starts. With my friend, Daniel. Daniel was a pretty intresting boy. All acceralted classes, loved video games and comics, and wasn't bad looking at all. Over the first year of middle school, Daniel and I became pretty close. Hanging out after school and learning about eachother. It was pretty nice. Daniel loved life and he wasn't afraid to show it. If he had something to say, oh would he say it, but he was never disrespectful about it. He was always being a gentlemen. People always said shit about him.
         "Oh! Did you hear about Daniel? I heard he was sucking cock in the bathroom!"
         "Daniel the fag!"
         "Daniel should go burn in fucking hell with all the other fags that enjoy buttsex!" Get the trend here? They kept on saying he was gay, over and over. Through messages on Facebook, notes, or even writing on bathroom walls, which is very cliche. There have been times where I have asked if he was gay and I would get the same answer every time.
          "Do you think I am?" Over and over, he never changed it. Daniel was really proud and he felt as if he shouldn't state if he were gay or not and I really admire that about him. 8th grade started and I assumed that the gay jokes would have gotten old by now, but they didn't. They actual got worse. More people started calling him a "fag, dick-sucker," and spreading rumors that I don't even wanna remember. I noticed a change in Daniel, he wasn't as outgoing, didn't speak his mind, became less quite, less proud. I tried helping him, I really did but it never worked. He seemed to just become more depressed. Those kids never noticed either, they just attacked him more and more, getting more ruthless with each insult. This drama was lasting way more than three days and I wasn't sure what would happen. Shit even got worsed.
          That's when I heard the intercom come on one day during class.
       "Students, I am sad to announce that our student, Daniel Rigsbee, has died yesterday." They didn't tell us how he died, but we all knew. He killed himself. The voice of the principal announcing his death was so fucking emotionless, it made it seem as if Daniel was some character in a movie that died. Everyone was silent. I was filled with anger. Those ruthless bastards did this. They didn't know when to stop. The minute the bell rang, I sprinted to his house asking if it was true was they said today. His father simply nodded and beckoned me in. He said that there was a note left in his room directed to me and "bitches." I walked to his room, feeling as if I was going to puke. I found the note, all directed in rainbows, colors, and smiley faces. It made me sick. I opened the note with nervoness and read.
        "Dear Juno and the son of bitches at school. Let me make this clear. I am not fucking gay. I am as straight as the pole your mom dances on. I should not have to tell people this, it's my life and you shouldn't be butting in. Pun intended. You caused this and I hope you feel great. You did it! You've killed me! I'm not gonna say that this wasn't your guys' fault because fuck that. It totally was. I hope you live with that burden that you killed me for your whole life. Juno, I hope you live a great life and don't cry over me, you didn't cause this. You are amazing and don't let people do what they did to me to you. I would punch their neck. (:
                                            Bye,
                                                  Daniel-Not fucking gay-Rigsbee
        What the fuck? That wasn't sad at all. This was the Daniel that I knew. He killed himself because he was done of the shit. I don't think he felt sorry or anything. I don't even know. As I turned to leave, I found something else. It was another note reading, "I hope this was exciting enough for you, Juno. I am a coward. I wasn't gonna deal with this anymore. They didn't win, remerber that. I won. They get to deal with my death. -Daniel"
         Fucking. Daniel.

JOHN ERICKSON (born January 5, 1964) is an American professional golfer who played the Canadian Tour from 1987 to 1994 and the PGA Tour of Australasia Tour from 1987 to 1992.

Competition

Erickson was a top national collegiate player at Fresno State - Sun Bowl All American, 1985 Big West Conference champion, NCAA All-American as well as a quarter finalist in the 1983 U.S. Amateur. As a pro, he won several events worldwide including the 1991 Windsor Charity Classic shooting a 17 under par tournament record score of 271 (68-67-67-69) on the Canadian Tour. He was one of the last players to win an international event using a persimmon driver. In 1991, Erickson was a Sony World ranked professional player.

In November 2008, after 15 years of retirement, Erickson made a return to professional competition and the winner's circle taking home a 7 stroke victory in the TRGA Las Vegas Classic played at Las Vegas National Golf Club which hosted the Las Vegas Invitational on the PGA Tour throughout the 1960s and 1970s. The event was unique in that it required players to use equipment no later than 1979. No metal woods, long putters, or wedges over 56 degrees were allowed. The event followed the rules and guidelines of the Traditional Rules of Golf (TRGA).

The Golfing Machine

Erickson was an early protégé of the controversial teaching method “The Golfing Machine” that was based upon the book of the same name written by Homer Kelley. The Golfing Machine drew from physics and geometry, breaking the golf swing down into 24 components, 4 power accumulators, 16 variations, and 4 imperatives. The objective nature of the teaching methodology differs from the past in that the teacher must remain objective and not inject a subjective or mysterious nature into instruction. “Complexity is far more simple and workable than mystery” quoted from “The Golfing Machine” (preface). Bobby Clampett, and Mac O'Grady were also having success using the Golfing Machine model around this time period.

Retirement

In 1993 Erickson retired from competition. Erickson has been quoted as being “a promoter of the traditional values of the game” and did not favor the direction the game was moving into longer courses, bigger greens wider fairways as well as radical equipment changes such as super large-headed titanium drivers and plastic golf balls. “Golf is a game played outside on a parkland where the course and the equipment should work in harmony. It should be required that the golfer to be tested across various aspects of the game including tee shots, short, mid and long irons particularly on the par 4’s as they were properly intended. Technology has been striving to remove the difficult long iron approach shot into the par fours of a championship golf course. Long iron approach shots should be the acid test of the game and the golf swing itself. A proper championship course with the traditional 10 par fours should require three or four long iron approach shots, along with the mid iron and short iron approaches”. As a golf purist, he believed woods should be made of wood or persimmon, strongly opposed perimeter weighted irons, and believed golf courses were sacred sites to celebrate and play the ancient game, not a vehicle to sell real estate home lots. Erickson believed golf should be a game of physical and mental skill, much like Chess where the rules for play are honored and respected. He believed the USGA did not stand up to the equipment makers, selling the game out for profit while forcing a new technology upon golf in the process losing its long-rooted traditional values. Erickson believed the world's classic old courses were not meant to be lengthened and in doing so, disgraced the design, shape, and intention of how the holes should be played. Erickson is outspoken about his support for famous golf architect Alister MacKenzie's ideals, who believed golf should be walked, and the game should be more about skill than the pursuit of technological advances in equipment.

Erickson lives in the San Francisco Bay Area and still plays golf with persimmon and blade style irons promoting the traditional values of the game.

Author

Erickson has been a consultant for the Traditional Rules of Golf Association (TRGA) and has been a contributing author and part of the TRGA brain trust.

Erickson is also working on a book about the golf swing.

question: Describe what the text states about the Golfing Machine.

answer: The Golfing Machine is based on the book of the same name written by Homer Kelley. It was an early teaching methodology based on physics and mathematics. The author of this article is quoted as saying that "complexity is more simple and workable than mystery".

critique: The second line is not stated and should be removed.

critique: The author's quote isn't relevant to the question.

question: What are some of Erickson's belief about golf that the text describes once he retired?

answer: Erickson believes that golf should be a game of physical and mental skill and the rules for play are met, much like chess.

critique: The answer should mention his views on the USGA.

critique: The answer should mention his views on equipment.

question: What would Erikson think about mini golf courses that are present in today's culture?

answer: He would not favor them as he is a purist who believes that golf courses were sacred sites to celebrate and play the ancient game, not a vehicle to sell real estate home lots.

critique: The answer should mention that he believes golf courses should be walked.

text: While Erickson was critical of the expansion of golf courses, it's not clear how he would think about mini golf courses (given that they are rather distinct from 'traditional' outdoors golf courses).

ZACKARY BOWMAN (born November 18, 1984) is a retired American football cornerback. He was drafted by the Chicago Bears in the fifth round of the 2008 NFL Draft. He played college football at Nebraska and New Mexico Military Institute. He has also played for the New York Giants and Miami Dolphins.

Early years

Bowman attended Batesburg-Leesville High in Batesburg, South Carolina, and later attended Bartlett High School in Anchorage, Alaska, and graduated in 2003.

College career

After Bowman attended New Mexico Military Institute, he attended University of Nebraska–Lincoln. In his two seasons at Nebraska Bowman had a total of 56 tackles, 20 pass break ups, 3 interceptions, and he played in 22 games, 9 of which he started.

Bowman had to redshirt the 2006 season due to torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee on the third day of fall practice and missed the season.

Professional career

Chicago Bears

The Chicago Bears selected in the fifth round of the 2008 NFL Draft. He made the team's opening day roster but was relegated to the practice squad to make room for guard Dan Buenning, who was acquired in a trade.[1] The Bears signed Bowman off the practice squad in week seven, after their top three cornerbacks were ruled out of a game against the Minnesota Vikings due to injuries. Bowman played a crucial role in the Bears victory over the Vikings by recovering a fumbled punt in the endzone for a touchdown. Bowman sustained an injury in the fourth quarter, which should have left him sidelined for the remainder of the game, but he insisted on returning due to the Bears shallow depth at the cornerback position. He recorded his first career interception upon returning, which also prevented the Vikings from engineering a last second touchdown drive. Bowman required surgery to repair the injury he sustained during the game,[2] and was placed on the team's injury reserve for the remainder of the season. His efforts during the week merited him the “NFC Special Teams Player of the Week” Award.[3]

In training camp 2009, coaches were very impressed with Bowman's abilities and play on the practice field. Despite missing most of the preseason with a hamstring injury, Bowman was expected to be a key part of the Bears secondary in 2009 with teammates Nathan Vasher and Charles Tillman.[4]

In Week 2 of the regular season, Bowman took over Vasher's starting spot at cornerback. He recorded 66 tackles, six interceptions, and one forced fumble over the course of the season.[5]

During the Bears 2010 mini camp, head coach Lovie Smith announced that Bowman would replace Charles Tillman as the team's left side cornerback. In a typical Cover 2 defense, team's will usually place their best cornerback on the left side of their defensive formations.[6]

Minnesota Vikings

Bowman signed a one-year deal with the Minnesota Vikings on March 26, 2012.[7] On September 2, 2012, he was waived to make room for A. J. Jefferson.[8]

Second stint with Chicago

Bowman was later re-signed by the Bears.[9] In Week 16 against the Arizona Cardinals, Bowman recovered Beanie Wells' fumble in the endzone for a Bears touchdown, as the Bears won 28-13.[10] In 2013, Bowman was an unrestricted free agent, but signed a one-year deal with the Bears.[11] During the season, Bowman played in all 16 games while starting in seven, and recorded 49 tackles along with three interceptions.[12]

New York Giants

On March 31, 2014, Bowman signed a one-year deal with the New York Giants.[13]

Miami Dolphins

On April 13, 2015, Bowman signed a deal with the Miami Dolphins.[14] He was released on September 6, however, re-signed later that day.[15] He was waived on November 24.[16]

Personal life

Bowman was a sociology major and earned his degree in December 2007. He is married and has three sons.[17][18]

In a small building on the outskirts of the blue sector, Paul and Harold Wright were sitting in a booth watching the evening’s news broadcast over a steak and a plate of large fries. A screen in one corner featured a Human in a freshly pressed suit and a stack of papers talking at the camera. The place was a replica of an Earthian building, circa 1950. Harold had learned about them in education for Earth Studies, though he often wondered how strange it was that there wasn’t anybody still alive who had visited one of these places first hand, and how it was even stranger that despite this, he was still required to learn about them.

The audio from the on-screen broadcast was muted, but he knew what the report was about. Harold had seen it played at least ten times this week. A steady stream of words scrolled along the bottom of the screen;

**VIOLENCE ERUPTS ON EARTH ONCE MORE AS ELECTION NEARS**

“Look at that place,” Paul broke the silence after taking a long drink of his beer. “It’s not changed a bit.”

Harold shifted his eye from the screen to meet Paul’s, who was now transfixed on the news report.

“I know you’re scared Paul, I am too, but it’s not going to change overnight.”

“Overnight?” Paul cracked a wry smile. “How about fourteen years?”

“Sixteen, uncle.”

“So you are studying.”

A short, blonde-haired waitress sauntered over to the booth and Harold shifted on the red leather to face her.

“Is anything else required of me, gentlemen? We shall unfortunately need to begin closure of this restaurant soon, it’s nearly launch season, and if we don’t…”

She may well have continued, but if she did, Harold hadn’t noticed. He was merely waiting for an opening in conversation to ask her about her recent trip to New Paris. Misa Vexor had only been working a temporary position at the diner for a couple of months now, but he'd managed to see her every time he walked in without fail. They had been friends for as long as he could remember, since he moved to Central anyway. When he thought long enough about it, Harold realised that was actually all he could remember, other than the stories Paul told him, anyway. He tried not to think about it very long.

“No, we’re good Misa.” Paul stood up quickly, shaking the table in the process, and a few pieces of cutlery clinked together. “We should be makin’ a move anyway. You don’t want to be out after dark on warmup week.”

She lost her happy demeanor ever so slightly as Harold edged his way out of the booth, after flashing a half-smile at her, and followed his uncle out of the busy diner’s doors and onto the streets of the blue sector. Other than the purple, the blue sector was the least affluent area of lower Central, and crime rates had risen in recent years as less and less graduates left for earth. *“If these kids gave a damn about their species,”* Paul would say, *“They’d visit their own home freakin’ planet for God sake.”*

After walking a few minutes in silence, a short series of loud beeps, coming seemingly from both nowhere and everywhere, echoed into the night.

“Ten o’clock. Seems later, doesn’t it?”

Paul was met with silence. Even the streets, which this close to launch season should be bustling with activity, seemed quiet.

“Harry listen,” He continued anyway, “I’m sorry for rushing out of there. That Vexor girl, she’s alright. For an Other, anyway.”

Harold didn’t respond, instead choosing to look up. A large, clear dome covered the whole topside of Central, which rotated so it received approximately seven hours of sunlight for each twenty four. It was designed to simulate one Earth day, which Harold found facinating. Something glinted in his field of vision and his eyes darted quickly right.

“Paul, look, over there.”

In the direction Harold was pointing, up through the ceiling, out of Central, and a million miles away, was a tiny shining dot no more than a centimetre in diameter. He could just make out tiny fragments of green and blue. Earth.

Paul looked up, and with a large grin, turned to Harold.

“It seems so small, doesn’t it Harry?”

For a while, they stopped and stood underneath the stars, looking up at the night sky. Harold stared intently at Earth, as the universe around him seemed to fly by, and had only one thought.

*Home.*

*Soon, I’m coming home.*

title: [SF] Down There

question: Why do Paul and Harold seem concerned about what is happening on earth?

answer: They spend a long time talking about how Earth has become a warzone despite the fact that therir "home world" is run by Misa Vexor. War is something that isn't widely talked about in Central, but what is being said indicates it might be an unavoidable reality soon.

critique: This is not directly stated in the passage.

critique: The question does not ask for a summary of the entire story.

critique: "They spend a long time talking about how Earth has become a warzone despite the fact that therir "home world" is run by Misa Vexor." - It's not stated that their home world is run by Misa.

critique: "Harry listen, I’m sorry for rushing out of there. That Vexor girl, she’s alright. For an Other, anyway.”

critique: Their "home world" isn't run by Misa Vexor.

critique: "The universe around him seemed to fly by, and had only one thought." is evidence that they are thinking about the future and their eventual return to Earth. Include this in the response.

critique: The answer is a little too wordy and doesn't really answer the question.

critique: "their "home world" is run by Misa Vexor." - this is inaccurate. Paul and Harold are not from Earth. They are from Central.

critique: It is omitted that the two men are avid space enthusiasts.

critique: The answer is not clear about what is being said.

critique: The response misses to mention the upcoming election.

critique: There's no solid evidence that Misa Vexor is the leader of Earth.


text:
[Auguste de Caffarelli] MARIE-FRANÇOIS AUGUSTE DE CAFFARELLI DU FALGA (October 7, 1766, Haute-Garonne, France - January 23, 1849, Leschelles, near Guise, Aisne) was a French général de division of Italian descent. Two of his brothers were also generals. His name is inscribed on the south side of the Arc de Triomphe.

Life

First serving with the army on Sardinia from 1783, he returned to France in 1791, enrolling as a private dragoon in the 15e régiment and becoming aide-de-camp to General Dagobert. He was then made adjutant general to the Armée de Sambre-et-Meuse and commanded the light-infantry Demi-brigade, which was nicknamed _l'incomparable_.

Also serving on the French invasion of Egypt, he became aide-de-camp to Napoléon Bonaparte in 1800, général de brigade after the Battle of Marengo, and finally commander of the Légion d'honneur in 1804. Sent as an ambassador to Pope Pius VII, he organised the Pope's trip to France for Napoleon's coronation as emperor.

He was sent to interrogate Toussaint Louverture in his French prison cell at Fort de Joux and met with Toussaint several times, the first time on September 15, 1802. One of his duties was to find out about treasures, that French authorities believed Toussaint had hidden in Saint-Domingue. Toussaint, in his memoir disputes that he ever took any treasures and indeed it seems as if Napoléon and his aide were absolutely wrong to assume that Toussaint had ever diverted any money. John Relly Beard writes that “It has been suggested that torture [of Toussaint Louverture] was employed by Bonaparte's aid, Caffarelli” although he states that he can find no evidence to support this claim. (Beard p. 342)

He became général de division and governor of the Tuileries, and grand aigle (Grand croix) of the Légion d'honneur, all on 8 February 1806, for his contribution to the victory at Austerlitz, and the following month was summoned to the Kingdom of Italy's ministry of war and the fleet (remaining at its head until 1810).

He was made a knight of the Order of the Iron Crown (_ordre de la Couronne de fer_) in 1807, comte de l'Empire (with a “dotation” of 23,000 francs on the “domaines” of Hanover), and was then employed in Spain. There he defeated an attempted English landing at Laredo, seized Bilbao, was named governor of Biscay in 1811, completely routed Mina's band of guerrillas and contributed to the raising of the siege of Burgos.

In 1813 he once again became Napoleon's aide-de-camp, and when the Emperor left his army he entrusted Caffarelli with commanding the remaining troops in Paris, the government of the imperial palace and organising the guard for empress Marie Louise. In 1814, he accompanied Marie-Louise and her son as far as Vienna. On his return to France, he begged to be allowed to retire, but Louis XVIII replied to his requests by sending him the insignia of the Order of Saint Louis and naming him military governor of the 13e division militaire.

In January 1815, the duc de Bourbon sent him to Rennes to do all the good and prevent all the evil that he could. On 22 April he resumed his role as aide-de-camp, and on 2 June took command of the 1e division militaire.

He followed the army behind the Loire and was dismissed. Made a Pair de France in 1831, in 1840 he headed the legal commission looking into having Napoleon's mortal remains transferred back to France. Out of place in this era of grand political debates, General Caffarelli died in 1849 after a long illness, leaving a widow (daughter of comte Louis Charles d'Hervilly), two daughters and a son (who the French government summoned to join the conseil d'État for the prefecture of Ille-et-Vilaine).

What can we expect from the kids’ entertainment space in 2017?

The new year is well and truly upon us, and every other tech blog ready to impart their digital predictions for 2017 if they haven’t already. Whilst generally you can expect a lot of the same old – ‘this will be the year for VR’, etc. – we wanted to examine some of the things that we expect to see more specifically in the kids’ entertainment space this year.

Augmented and virtual reality

The underlying issues of accessibility and refinement prevented VR from slipping comfortably into the mainstream in 2016, while the Pokémon Go craze of the summer teased AR potential. While we might not have seen the ‘year for VR’ that we had hoped for, what we did see was a string of brands getting involved with VR just to say they’re in the VR game – regardless of whether they actually have something valuable to offer to the space. Ideally, this year we’ll see more companies offering valuable uses of the technology, rather than the ‘VR for VR’s sake’ that is born out of the fear of being left behind.

Furthermore, we’re hoping to see more defined areas for the use of virtual and augmented reality, be it gaming, education, or even live events – and we’re especially interested in how this will come to fruition in kids’ entertainment and education. However, while developers of VR work towards a tech-accessible, cost-friendly product, it’s likely that we’ll be looking more closely at AR for the time being. The challenge, we suspect, will be creating AR that outlives the initial gimmick, which means content is more important than ever.

There are a few great examples of recent children’s AR that we’d love to see more of. TILT Textiles weave their technology with animated stories in their Enchanted Duvet and Jungle Rug to create an interactive storytelling experience for youngsters, while Curiscope’s Virtuali-Tee (which got a mention in our post on augmented reality last year) is a strong example of the ways in which augmented reality might be integrated into the classroom as a tool for learning.

Web TV

As early as 2010 we’ve seen reports surfacing to indicate the shift from cable/satellite television to online show providers. Over the past few years in particular, web based TV has gained a lot of traction, but this area has been largely dominated by Netflix and Amazon Video, whose online exclusive shows (think Netflix’s recent A Series of Unfortunate Events and Amazon’s The Grand Tour) are able to pull more and more people into subscriptions. Newer or more niche services (Mubi, Twitch, Animax, Hulu) tend to be overshadowed by the bigger names and app versions of existing TV channels.

We’re excited to see what this shift could mean for kids’ TV this year, especially with the recent prototype demonstration of Disney’s own TV product at CES 2017. With tablet sales in decline, we could be looking at a resurgence of television that favours web-based, ‘watch anytime’ content. An expansion of the children’s web TV space is on the horizon.

We’re also anticipating further crossover between television and gaming in 2017. SVOD (Subscription Video On Demand) platforms like Azoomee, Sky, and Hopster currently operate as two separate services: a classic TV service, and then gaming. We’re hoping to see the lines between these two services begin to blur, as more crossover content is created. Interactivity is especially appealing to kids. So there’s no reason this can’t be geared towards younger viewers.

Live Video

As Facebook continued its attempt to undercut YouTube’s dominance in the video space, live video was everywhere in 2016. We’re seeing many kids turning away from traditional television and towards their favourite YouTube stars – the interactivity of the platform means that the viewing experience is more personal, intimate, and therefore valuable.

Web TV is allowing kids to watch what they want to, exactly when and where they want to watch it, but the appeal of the interactivity of YouTube has encouraged a flood of online video creators to start aiming their content at younger audiences. Live videos build on this to create a more ‘immediate’ interactive experience, so kids are especially engaged when consuming content from their favourite YouTubers (MirandaSings is a great example) this way.

As our Facebook and YouTube subscription feeds become more and more infiltrated with live video content, we’re anticipating an emergence of live video in the kids’ entertainment space – and we’re especially interested to see which broadcaster will be the first to truly capitalise on this demand.

AI and chat bots

While we blogged about the rise of the internet bot last year, we’re excited to see how this space will be refined in 2017, and how (if at all) the chatbot will find and secure its space in kids’ entertainment and education.

We saw the beginnings of this exploration in 2016; Unilever, for example, have used a chatbot campaign on Facebook Messenger called ‘Little Brush, Big Brush’ to create an interactive storytelling platform that encourages children to look after their teeth. Then there’s Oyoty, a bot app described as a ‘personal safety assistant’, that’s designed to connect with children’s social accounts, detect potential problems, and help them learn to stay safe online.

The trick, however, will be finding the line between being helpful/educational, and not stepping on parents’ toes.

OUR CEO JON MASON also indicates that we could see an increase in the use of bots outside of the sales and service bots that were everywhere in 2016. We’re looking, he suggests, towards,

  “Bots as entertainment, branching narratives, and stories – low cost ways of providing immersive brand extensions for entertainment companies”.

We’re ready to see interactive children’s storytelling secure a place in the chatbot game.

Fitness and educational tech

Despite the apparent need for “quality research and evidence” to support the claims of the negative impact of “increasingly screen-based lifestyles”, the media continues to be hot to report on the negative physical effects of children’s preoccupation with digital entertainment. To combat the negative association between digital entertainment and childhood obesity, we’ve seen toy companies invest in technical toys that incorporate gamification to encourage tech savvy children to take part in physical activity.

Fisher Price’s Think & Learn Cycle, for example, attempts to entice three to six years olds to exercise whilst playing screen-based games. It’s essentially a children’s exercise bike in disguise, that maintains the brand’s educational focus. This is just one example of how toy companies are shifting focus from toys that function purely as entertainment, to technical toys that provide longer-term value in the form of fitter and smarter kids. These attractive benefits could result in a surge in the production and popularity of fitness based toys this year – even the AR Jungle Rug that we mentioned encourages physical activity in the form of yoga.

We’ll also be seeing kids’ entertainment pay more attention to the development of emotional intelligence. Our upcoming game for The Next Step, for example, focuses on relationships; the player must figure out the best way to communicate with a variety of personalities to successfully navigate the story. We’re interested to see what other projects surface this year in kids’ entertainment to perpetuate values of empathy and good communication.

Overall?

In 2016 we saw a lot of digital trends extensively explored, but very few refined. This year, we’re hoping to see these trends consolidate, establishing their relevance and overall suitability to a young demographic.

OUR GAME FOR THE NEXT STEP, “TAKE IT TO THE TOP” IS NOW AVAILABLE TO PLAY HERE.

question: What does the text say about VR's inability to slip into the mainstream on 2016?

answer: VR has underlying issues of accessibility and refinement. The author of the text mentions that VR might not have been the year for VR that many people hoped for.

critique: The answer should mention that VR has been around for a while, and 2016 was not the year for it.

critique: The answer could be more specific about VR's accessibility and refinement.

question: What does the text say about growth in live video?

answer: The text shows that there was an increase in the use of live video in 2016. This was due to the increased popularity of subscription services like Netflix and Amazon. The popularity of services like Netflix and Amazon have also reduced the need for live TV.

NEW LEFT 95 (Abbreviated: NK95 ) is a group of Lithuanian intellectuals and activists who launched their activities on 1 May 2007 with the declaration ‘New Left 95 Manifesto’, which brought together individual arguments on sociopolitical and cultural issues from the newer leftist perspective into the joint political stance of NK95. The preparation of the manifesto was coordinated by Dr Andrius Bielskis, a political philosopher with a PhD from Warwick University, who had returned to Lithuania after a lengthy spell of study and academic work in the UK in the summer of 2006.

During his presentation at the annual conference organized by “Santara Šviesa,” a mainstream liberal organization set up originally in the US by Valdas Adamkus, a former President of Lithuania, Andrius Bielskis urged for debate and political action to undo unjust political and social practices in Lithuania. The audience was left generally perplexed, but some younger participants, graduates of the Institute of Political Science and International Relations (TSPMI) in Vilnius, were inspired.

Already by December 2005 a group of Lithuanian university students along with a few other activists involved in the protest against the encroachment of privatization in public spaces in Vilnius (e.g. the movie theatre “Lietuva”) gathered at TSPMI for a conference where the Vilnius Leftist Club Manifesto was signed. This action paved a way for the initial consolidation of leftist activists.

During the autumn and winter 2006/2007, people from the two groups, joined by activists from other left-leaning groups and NGOs, came together, forming the core of the present day NK95. The final consolidation of the group came in June 2007, when the first NK95 conference was organized and set the tone for the further development. During the period of formation a virtual, email list based, organizational form was adopted as the most suitable for the formed community of practice.

The group now lists around 35/40 activists who each extend the reach of NK95 to many other groups and formally established organizations in Vilnius and other cities, thus sustaining a nationwide network for New Left public actions that are organized and coordinated by self-appointed and group-approved initiators of individual actions on an ad hoc basis which may involve also organizational gatherings, if required.

The main forms of action undertaken by NK95 activists are: formal statements (letters of opposition or support, declarations, signed public statements, group petitions or other group statements) and communications with a wider audience (press releases, posters, interviews, website, etc.).

The main objective of NK95, outside the most obvious, the popularization of the 45 theses of the NK95 manifesto, is to galvanize the political life in Lithuania by bringing to the fore of public debate leftist political values and ideas, with the hope that sooner or later the whole political mindset and with it political practice will shift leftwards, given the unforgiving social and political reality which demands a new left approach and ideas.

Thus, the group actively promotes the values of social justice, equality, individual and collective emancipation, as well as supporting a broader socially progressive agenda (e.g. gay rights). In order to achieve this aim two strategies are employed: 1) stirring up the debate by individual or group texts (mainly channeled through Internet news portals which allow more freedom of expression for non-staff writers as comparing to traditional media which are too corrupt), 2) organizing PR campaigns by indirect actions getting media and commentators involved in the cycle of self-denial, which helps to raise publicity for a particular issue. Another strategy for action which is being considered is organizing educational events, such as seminars, conferences or evening classes for the general public, where academic potential of NK is and can be tapped.

The first two pilot events organized under the banner of “New Left audience” featured Dr Kelvin Knight (London Metropolitan University, Britain) and Mr Svenn Arne Lie (Bergen University, Norway) as the main speakers, showing the potential of such form of public action because of the enormous interest received not only from the Lithuanian leftist organizations but also from the general public. Being aware of the limitations that any voluntary social formation faces as well as being dependent solely on individual goodwill and contribution of its members, NK95 has taken a course towards establishing international contacts at the international scene in order to be able to sustain its activism on the basis of co-sharing of resources via contact network. For that reason the Manifesto has been translated into German, English and French and contacts have been established with intellectuals from the UK and Norway as the first step towards the rebirth of the international New Left.

Executives from Purdue Pharma, the manufacturer of the powerful opioid painkiller OxyContin, admitted in federal court in 2007 that Purdue’s marketing practices and interactions with doctors had understated the strength and addictive potential of the drug — an omission that many experts believe contributed to an opioid epidemic that claimed nearly 50,000 American lives in 2017 alone.

But on Thursday, the release of a previously sealed deposition from 2015 showed that Purdue executives knew of OxyContin’s strength long before that $600 million settlement. The deposition, which had been filed in court, revealed that Dr. Richard Sackler — part of the family that founded and controls Purdue, and who has served as Purdue’s president and co-chairman of the board — knew as early as 1997 that OxyContin was much stronger than morphine, but chose not to share that knowledge with doctors.

“We are well aware of the view held by many physicians that oxycodone [the active ingredient in OxyContin] is weaker than morphine. I do not plan to do anything about that,” Purdue’s head of sales and marketing, Michael Friedman, wrote in an email to Sackler, according to the deposition, which was obtained by _ProPublica_ and co-published with _STAT_. “I agree with you,” Sackler wrote back. “Is there a general agreement, or are there some holdouts?”

The document’s publication comes just weeks after the release of an unredacted 277-page lawsuit filed against Purdue by Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey — itself just one of thousands of legal complaints brought against Purdue and other pharmaceutical companies by plaintiffs across the country, many of which have been rolled into one multi-district litigation in Ohio federal court. And as the evidence mounts, legal experts say Purdue could face serious consequences, from astronomical fines to injunctions that could threaten its ability to do business.

“One theme that clearly emerges from this deposition, brick by brick, is the foundation that is laid, that shows how even after this guilty plea there was a shocking lack of care for people that were at risk of abusing this drug and instead a singular focus on profit,” says Joseph Khan, a Philadelphia-based attorney who is currently bringing suits against corporations involved in the opioid epidemic.

As the New York _Times_ reported, parts of Sackler’s deposition are in conflict with his previous testimony. For example, a 2006 Department of Justice report suggested he knew in 1999 that users in internet chatrooms were discussing abuse of the drug. In the deposition, however, Sackler said he first learned of its street value in a 2000 Maine newspaper article.

In a statement provided to TIME, Purdue said the “intentional leak of the deposition is a clear violation of the court’s order and, as such, is regrettable.” The statement adds that, “Dr. Sackler described Purdue’s efforts to adhere to all relevant laws and regulations and to appropriately reflect OxyContin’s risks of abuse and addiction as the science of opioid pain therapy evolved over time.”

Much of the material included in the deposition pertains to activity carried out before the company’s 2007 settlement, while Healey’s suit relates to post-2007 behavior. But Khan says the ramifications of the document are still relevant today, given the judgements Purdue could face from juries.

“There are straight contradictions between what’s in here and what the Department of Justice has put together. This is not something that will play well in front of a jury,” Khan says. “They don’t have as much leverage as they might want.”

The Massachusetts complaint also includes dramatic accusations about how much Purdue executives knew about their blockbuster drug, and when they knew it.

According to lawsuit, members of the Sackler family and other Purdue executives purposefully downplayed the addictive properties of OxyContin, and promoted sales tactics meant to encourage doctors to prescribe as much OxyContin, in the highest doses and longest durations, as possible — despite the potential risks for abuse, and despite the terms of Purdue’s prior settlement with the federal government. The suit also details Purdue’s plans to sell addiction treatments, helping them dominate “the pain and addiction spectrum.” Purdue’s board, controlled by the Sacklers, also voted to pay out $4 billion to the family between 2007 and 2018, the documents show.

In a statement provided to TIME, a Purdue representative said the attorney general’s office “seeks to publicly vilify Purdue, its executives, employees and directors by taking out of context snippets from tens of millions of documents and grossly distorting their meaning. The complaint is riddled with demonstrably inaccurate allegations,” they said, and “offers little evidence to support its sweeping legal claims.” Purdue fought to keep portions of the suit from being released publicly.

If successful, Massachusetts’ lawsuit could force Purdue to pay not only significant fines, but also require the company to cease certain behaviors and make efforts to remedy the damages it has allegedly caused, Khan says.

“If you think about what would restitution look like, these are staggering, almost incalculable costs,” Khan says. But the problem goes beyond money. “What would it mean to stop this epidemic they’re accused of putting into place?” he asks. “You’re not going to find anyone who knows anything about the opioid epidemic who will just say you can solve this problem overnight with a quick fix.”

Further complicating matters, Purdue’s future hinges on far more than a single lawsuit.

John Jacobi, a professor of health law and policy at Seton Hall Law School, called the Massachusetts complaint “extraordinary in the length and depth of the allegations against individual defendants,” but says it is “more or less consistent” with the roughly 1,200 complaints included in the Ohio MDL, as well as the hundreds of others individually making their way through state court systems.

And for that reason, Jacobi says, Purdue could be facing consequences much larger than those included in Healey’s complaint. Opioid manufacturers could face a situation similar to the 1998 Master Settlement Agreement with Big Tobacco, which forced five major manufacturers to pay out billions of dollars over cigarette marketing and promotional practices. (Mike Moore, the lawyer who orchestrated the Master Settlement Agreement, is now bringing a new suit against opioid distributors and manufacturers. He was not immediately available for comment to TIME.)

“Many people have suggested that the only way out of the thicket that all of these litigants find themselves in would be some sort of global settlement similar to what was achieved in the tobacco litigation, and I don’t think that’s a far-fetched suggestion,” Jacobi says. “All of those, at some point, will be gathered up and resolved.”

Khan agrees that the volume of lawsuits in the MDL could hold a major threat for opioid manufacturers. And the results of MDL cases set for trial later this year will likely set the tone for other individual suits, like Healey’s, filed around the country, he says.

“There becomes a point at which it becomes mathematically impossible for every one of those plaintiffs to receive what they’re seeking,” Khan says. “Some of these companies are not going to be equipped to survive. Purdue may or may not be differently situated.”

question: Explain the context around this article.

answer: This article is about the release of a previously-sealed deposition from 2015 that revealed that Purdue executives knew of OxyContin's strength long before the company was ever sued for it.

critique: The omitted context is relevant (the lawsuit filed against Purdue by Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey)

critique: The response should include the part of the deposition that claims Dr. Richard Sackler knew that OxyContin was much stronger than morphine as early as 1997.

critique: The document was released after the case was settled

critique: Provide the context around where this is taking place.

critique: The article is about the release of a deposition from 2015 that revealed that Purdue executives knew of OxyContin's strength long before the company was ever sued for it.

critique: This is a bit vague and doesn't mention the opioid epidemic.

critique: The article is not just about the deposition, but about the context around the deposition.

critique: There is no mention of the deposition being released in 2015.

critique: Doesn't mention the lawsuit against Purdue.

critique: The answer should mention that the deposition is related to the ongoing opioid epidemic.

critique: The answer should mention the opioid epidemic.

critique: "long before the company was ever sued for it" is misleading-the company was sued in 2007, and it was revealed in 2015 that execs knew about the strength of OxyContin in 1997.

question: Summarize the role of physicians in the opioid crisis.

answer: At the time of this article, there were more than 1,200 individual suits against Purdue and other pharmaceutical companies relating to the opioid epidemic in Massachusetts alone. Fines and injunctions could close the doors of Purdue, so they are understandably concerned. Purdue knows there is evidence that physicians allowed Purdue to seal its contentions by handing out prescriptions unquestioningly.

critique: The response is inaccurate and incoherent.

critique: In addition to the Massachusetts situation, the article mentions the "national opioid epidemic" and says that by 2017 it had caused more than 50,000 deaths. It would be better to focus on those figures and mention a bit more about them.

critique: The answer is not relevant to the question.

critique: The article does not say that physicians were responsible for the opioid epidemic.

critique: The answer omits the role of physicians in the opioid crisis.

critique: Since when 1,200 suits was relevant to the article

critique: The article does not say that the fines and injunctions could close the doors of Purdue.

critique: The statement about the physician's involvement is not mentioned anywhere in the text and has no basis in reality.

critique: The article doesn't mention what the penalty is for Purdue Pharma. The answer can't be assumed from the text.

critique: The phrasing of the answer is confusing.

critique: The first sentence is irrelevant and should be omitted.

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

text: The physician's role in handing out OxyContin is described as being encouraged by Purdue but not it is not stated that doctors did so on purpose or without question.

refinement: At the time of this article, there were more than 1,200 individual suits against Purdue and other pharmaceutical companies relating to the opioid epidemic in Massachusetts alone. Fines and injunctions could close the doors of Purdue, so they are understandably concerned. Purdue knows there is evidence that physicians allowed Purdue to seal its contentions by handing out prescriptions unquestioningly.

question: Summarize the consequences Purdue could face if this lawsuit succeeds.

answer:
Purdue could be:
Illegally profited
Face fines (the tobacco companies)
Lose permission to do business in some states.

critique: "Illegally profited" is not an example of potential legal consequences in the article.

critique: The response includes inaccurate information.

critique: The answer is not relevant to the question.

critique: The last two sentences are not relevant to the question.

critique: The phrasing of the first and third clauses of the answer is unclear and needs to be re-written.

critique: The answer should mention the possibility of a global settlement.

critique: The last line is incorrect. Purdue would lose the ability to conduct business in some states, but not permission to do so.

critique: "Lose permission to do business in some states" is inaccurate.

critique: Remove the line breaks and make the phrasing more uniform.

critique: "Illegally profited", "Lose permission to do business in some states" are not consequences Purdue could face.

critique: The tobacco companies were not fined, they had to pay out billions of dollars.

question: Summarize what physicians could have offered in lieu of OxyContin as a viable pain management medication and/or tool.

answer: No answer

critique: No response is given. A response must be generated.

critique: As there is no answer provided in the input, an answer cannot be given.

critique: The answer is not related and not relevant.

critique: The passage states that opioids are very addictive and doctors need to be educated about this. Thus, the answer should mention this and provide an alternate medication.

critique: No answer is provided, but the question can be answered.


text:
My head was collapsed into my hands. The detective rapped his fingers slowly on the desk, his eyes bored into my hair asking the same question he, and others had been repeating for days. "Why did you kill her?".

I was unable to meet his gaze as I explained what had happened with us. He didn't believe me. How could he? Can you explain God to a faithless man? Can you describe rainbows to the blind or song to the deaf? My case was hopeless.
He was not a detective in the sense of Sherlock Holmes, he had already made up his mind and was now just gathering confidence in my conviction. There was no curious case of the lack of barking dog, just DNA, fingerprints and logic.
I couldn't blame him for his doubt, I was nervous and the last week had taken its toll on my body. Unable to sleep or eat, my previously taut skin now hung lazily on my features. My dull eyes looked back at me in the mirror without a flash of recognition, I was a stranger to myself. I looked and felt a wreck, he could see it as well.

I have always had trouble under pressure. Everyone seemed different and more at ease in the the day to day runnings of the world. Children lacked concern, adults lacked doubt and I sat somewhere between, removed from both. My parents realized something was amiss from an early age and attempted to correct my social fallacies by intentionally placing me in situations where I would need to find my own way. My mother in particular thrived on correcting me whenever possible and I began to abhor contact with her. Comfort came in the exciting but textually safe world of books. From a young age I learnt to live vicariously through the life of others, whether stealing chickens with Mr. Fox or logical conundrums with Alice in wonderland, books represented a fantasic reprieve from the unpredictable social experiment. My mother eventually gave up and focused on the other children, leaving me mostly to my own.

While I enjoyed this social removal, as a consequence it allowed my phycosis to grow and at seven years old was placed in a special school and loosely defined as autistic. The work was easy and the children strange so I mostly had time to myself while the teachers frantaticly took care of the others. I withdrew from the class and in some aspects the whole of society. My mother was growing increasingly despondant at my condition but busy with three other children, there was very little she could do.

It was in one these periods of social removal that I first heard Nameless speak. It happened one day at school when the teacher was berating me over a lack of interest in her group lesson. I was positioned by her in the back of the room, until I was ready to learn. This was usually of no concern to me, however I felt incensed today as she had singled me out. I absentmindedly picked up a lego block and was pleasantly examining the design when a voice in my head suggested I throw it. The voice was very loud and had a curious high pitched, yet older tone. The voice continued daring me to throw it at the teacher, mocking my complacency. At this stage in life I often followed any orders with little contest so I threw the block at the teacher, striking her just below the eye. A slight trickle of blood appeared and she stormed towards me with furious intention. The mocking voice went silent.

My mind has gone blank on the incident but I returned home with a sore cheek and a painful scratch on my arm. I was told that particular teacher had to be removed because she didn't understand why I was special. Later in the evening both parents came into my room and regarded me with alien stares. When questioned on why I had thrown the toy I stayed silent until my parents left me alone. My mother returned an hour later with a hug and a toy. The toy was handmade, a male, with crude stitching down the sides where tuffs of cotton poked out of the gaps and sporting lopsided grin. Its two eyes were small black buttons, which left me feeling uneasy when I looked at them. She explained to me this toy was to be used when I was feeling frustrated and that I could throw or bend it, but never take my frustration out on someone innocent.

I was still concerned by the toy but didn't want to upset mother so it quickly became inseperable from me by nessesity. This abated some of her worry as she felt we now shared a connection from this. It was later revealed that she had made him especially for me. Given to me in response to a brief rebellion I felt this toy represented my bad qualities. He was quiet like me but his eyes were mean and distant. His grin reminded me of a boy in my class with palsy. It began normal on one side then twisted down, giving him the impression of perpetual sardonic laughter. He had been given to me as a result of being bad and I was reluctant to name him after any of the characters I enjoyed in books. He remained nameless for so long he eventually adopted the name Nameless. I rationalised Nameless had made me throw the lego, and that the mocking voice was his. As much as I blamed him and felt strange having him close to me, the companionship was needed and I began to talk more to him than anyone.
It was several months before he talked again. It started off with strange movements, I would leave him somewhere and would almost always find him in a slightly different position.
It was around then Nameless began to respond to me in short jarring words. He would only speak to me and often say something topical and then fall silent for long periods of time. His words were jarring and offensive but often say what I felt but couldn't express. I was barely talking around the age of ten but nameless allowed me to express myself at small injustices that came my way.

title: 'Nameless'

question: Did the narrator kill the dead woman?

answer: It seems like they did but the narrator himself is not sure.

critique: It's not clear if the narrator killed the dead woman.

critique: The question asks the narrator's feelings, not their actions

critique: It is not the narrator who is unsure but the detective.

critique: The narrator is sure he didn't kill the woman.

critique: This is not the answer the question is asking

critique: The narrator is sure that he didn't kill the woman.

critique: The narrator is sure they didn't kill the woman.

critique: The narrator did not kill the dead woman.

critique: It's false that the narrator is not sure.

question: Are there any particular reasons why the narrator is always unable to cope under pressure?

answer: He seems fragile and wound up, the lack of confidence following a barrage of questions from the detective.

critique: It is omitted that the narrator has a mental disorder.

critique: The narrator is not fragile, he is autistic.

critique: It's omitted that he's different from other people.

critique: The narrator is not fragile, they are autistic.

critique: I am not sure that the narrator is fragile, but rather emotionally withdrawn.

critique: The narrator's problems began before this current situation.

critique: While this is true, it is not the reason why he is unable to cope under pressure.

critique: It's not clear the narrator is a fragile and wound-up person, but rather that he is a bit removed from reality

critique: A better answer can be found in the input

critique: The answer should mention the narrator's autism.

critique: "He seemed fragile and wound up, the lack of confidence following a barrage of questions from the detective." - is not really a reason why the narrator is always unable to cope under pressure.

critique: The narrator's inability to cope under pressure is a result of his autism.

critique: The narrator is not fragile and wound up.

question: Why did Nameless show up at the time it did?

answer: Nameless flourished in a relaxed ecosystem. When the narrator was free from responsibility, Nameless came out to play.

critique: The narrator has always been free from responsibility

critique: "When the narrator was free from responsibility, Nameless came out to play." - this is incorrect. Nameless came out at the time the narrator was being berated for not paying attention in class.

critique: The narrator was not free from responsibility.

critique: While the narrator's time at school is an important part of Nameless's history, the answer that is provided doesn't fully answer the question. It would be best to rewrite this response.

critique: "When the narrator was free from responsibility, Nameless came out to play." - this doesn't really explain why Nameless showed up. The answer should mention the teacher being removed from the classroom.

critique: This is not the reason Nameless came out.

critique: The phrasing is almost correct but lacks clarity.

critique: The narrator is supposedly autistic, and so it is unlikely that they have a "relaxed ecosystem". The narrator seems to feel isolated, and it is Nameless who shows up to relieve his anxiety, though there doesn't seem to be any reason.

critique: The answer is not related to the question.

critique: The narrator's mother gave them Nameless to help them cope with the school.

critique: The narrator was never free from responsibility.

critique: The narrator was never free from responsibility because he was autistic

critique: Neutrality is subjective and not necessarily a trait of the narrator-who may be fascinated with metaphorical readings of events.

It wouldn’t last for forever. Everyone had the thought in the back of their minds at one point or another. The gods of pop music had fallen. N’Sync, The Backstreet Boys, and Destiny’s Child all had their moment in the spotlight, but that moment had passed. The executives of the music industry knew this. They also that music of the present was paling in comparison to music of the past. Justin Timberlake is a dancing monkey compared to Bob Dylan. TATU became small when Simon and Garfunkel were mentioned. They needed to solve this problem, so they came together to create a plan to continue to milk the cash cow. This plan that they eventually came up with was called Project Tween.

Project Tween was kept secret amongst the group. It was truthfully brilliant, and all they needed was a lot of money and some scientific help, which can easily be bought. The idea was to create millions of highly advanced androids that could take the place of girls between the ages of 10-13 throughout the country. These machines would be indistinguishable from the girls. The main goal of the tweens is to boost the sales of all of the people involved in their creation. The creators have also created a name for their organization; The Illuminati. Originally the Illuminati consisted of only music agents who wanted to save their careers and make it big but over the years, members outside of the music realm had been added to the secret society.
The mission of the tweens is to infiltrate the homes of the parents of their target. There, they will sprinkle the real girl with “pixie dust”, a military grade sleeping agent that will allow them to sleep for 3 or 4 years and feel like it’s only been a night, and bring them back to headquarters. From here, they assume the identity of the girl. At this point, they’re programmed to be hooked on whatever music receives the most money, no matter what the quality.

They will want everything that has to do with the artist they are programmed to support. They will buy posters, merchandise, concert tickets. The parents will pay for all of it of course because they love their daughters and want them to be happy. The tweens will also create buzz for the artists on Facebook and Instagram.  This will get him or her more endorsements, late-night appearances, and general fame. One of the scientific breakthroughs of the tweens is their fueling system. The tweens literally need Starbucks coffee to survive. The CEO of Starbucks is one of the main funders of the Illuminati, and he wanted to make sure that he got the most bang for his buck. They will also treat the beverages like they are pop stars, and blog, tweet, and post about them.

So here we are in the year 2014. This system has carried on seamlessly since its inception in the mid-2000’s, and originality has begun to fade. Artists no longer have to try to create meaningful songs. Their loving fans exist to boost their lyrics to the heavens. Stars have also become worse role models. They’re aware that, no matter what, their fans will love them. They can get in bar fights, drag races, and drug circles with little to no consequence. If they’re caught, they won’t face jail, but will merely go to “rehab” and write a song about how they’re the victims.

But these “artists” aren’t aware that the fans are robots. They think they’ve captivated the hearts of girls all across the country by being themselves. They think they deserve the fame, that they’ve earned the fame. Honestly, they’re just regular people who happened upon a stroke of luck. Anyone can lip sync an hour-long concert with a million mindless machines in the crowd, but only few can inspire with true music and meaning. Few can end wars or invoke social change with just a guitar and a message, and these people are rare to come by in the field of generic artists out there today.

title: Project Tween

question: According to the passage, the Illuminati originally consists of music agents. Why did the agents solicit outside help?

answer: The agents wanted to save their careers and make it big.

critique: The answer should mention that the agents needed money and scientific help.

critique: The answer is too vague. It should mention that the agents wanted to save their careers and make it big by creating Project Tween.

critique: The answer should mention that they needed outside help to create the tweens.

critique: The answer should mention that the agents were initially alone.

critique: "The CEO of Starbucks is one of the main funders of the Illuminati, and he wanted to make sure that he got the most bang for his buck." is evidence of why the Illuminati was also involved. Include the need for outside help to fund the operation in the answer.

critique: The answer should mention their need for money.
