[Portrait of Gabriel-Julien Ouvrard] GABRIEL-JULIEN OUVRARD was a French financier who was born in Moulins d'Antières at Cugand (Vendée) on 11 October 1770 and who died in London in October 1846.

Revolution (1787–1800)

The son of a paper mill owner, Gabriel-Julien Ouvrard received a basic education, joining a trading house in Nantes in 1787 as an employee. By the end of the Ancien Régime, the trading house was associated with Bordeaux shipowners Baour et Balguerie.

Under the Directoire, the trading house enriched itself considerably through colonial trade and military supplies. It then controlled three trading houses in Brest, Nantes and Orleans, the bank of Gamba, Gay et compagnie in Antwerp as well as having large shareholdings in three companies in Paris (Girardot et compagnie, Rougemont et compagnie, Charlemagne et compagnie). It was also associated with three major suppliers: Vanlerberghe (wheat), the Michel brothers (military supplies) and Carvillon des Tillières et Roy (steel and wood).

In 1794 he married the daughter of Jean Baptiste Tébaud, a wealthy Nantes merchant. (His wife died in 1818, having borne him three children.)

In September 1798, Ouvrard won a six-year contract for the provision of food to the Navy, representing a contract of 64 million francs. A few months later, he won a contract with the Spanish fleet stationed in Brest and then one to supply the army of Italy in 1799. He rented the Château du Raincy near Paris, which he subsequently bought in 1806.

Around 1799 he took as his mistress, Madame Tallien, daughter of Count Francois de Cabbarrus. Her family connections would prove useful to Ouvrard. He also had 5 illegitimate children with her.

Ouvrard was arrested on 27 January 1800 on the orders of then First Consul Napoleon Bonaparte, but a review of his accounts and contracts showed no irregularities. Ouvrard was released. He helped supply the army for its Marengo campaign.

The Napoleonic Era (1801–1815)

Ouvrard was one of the founders of the Compagnie des Négociants Réunis along with the banker Médard Desprez (1764–1842), Regent of the Bank of France. In exchange for a cash advance, the Company received valid obligations including monthly subsidies that Spain had to pay to France in implementing the Treaty of 22 June 1803. In 1804 the Company had obtained from Spain its monopoly of trade with Spanish America. However the resumption of war between France and England slowed the movement of vessels. In 1805 the Bank of France faced collapse; this potential financial disaster was averted on 27 January 1806, when Ouvrard agreed to guarantee loans against the gold from the Spanish South America colonies.

Ouvrard then entered a period of financial difficulties. He could not raise the acquisition price of the Château du Raincy. In 1809, he was imprisoned in Sainte-Pélagie for unpaid debt and released three months later. Believing that only peace could bring maritime economic growth, he tried to negotiate a secret peace with England with the support of Louis Bonaparte and Joseph Fouché, which earned him three years in prison.

Glory and ruin (1815–1846)

At the end of June 1815, at the beginning of the Restoration, Ouvrard acquired (under the name of his brother-in-law, G.J. Tébaud) the pavilion of Jonchère located at Bougival, known later as “Château de la Jonchère”. He made many improvements to both the original building and its surroundings. In 1816, he acquired the Château de la Chaussée, not far from the pavilion of Jonchère.

Ouvrard played a large role in the economic recovery of France after the fall of the Empire. The Congress of Vienna in 1815 effectively forced France to pay 700 million francs to foreign powers, or 150 million per annum, to which had to be added the maintenance of 150,000 soldiers of the Allied armies that had occupied France for five years. In 1816, crops collapsed and the coffers of the kingdom were empty. The payments were suspended. The Duc de Richelieu, Prime Minister of Louis XVIII, found himself in front of the Chamber of Deputies (the famous Chambre introuvable) but found its quarrels and divisions made his task impossible. On the advice of Ouvrard, Richelieu created a 100 million pension that filled the coffers of the state. The payments were made and the threat that hung over France was lifted. With this payment, the Prime Minister put forward the departure of foreign troops expected in 1820. The French territory was released in 1818, after the Congress of Aix-la-Chapelle. The Duc de Richelieu visited Ouvrard's property and canceled its debt to the Treasury. Proof of the prestige which Ouvrard enjoyed at the time can be seen from the fact that both Louis XVIII and the man who would become Charles X attended the wedding of Ouvrard's daughter Elisabeth to General de Rochechouart (a nephew of Richlieu) on 5 January 1822. The following year, the purveyor financed the shipment of Spain, but was never repaid in spite of agreements signed with the Duke of Angoulême, who commanded the expedition. Placed in bankruptcy, he then lost his entire fortune, and was even imprisoned at the Conciergerie for corruption. Ouvrard was exonerated through the intervention of the Duke of Angoulême, but never recovered his fortune.

He died in London in 1846. He was survived by Dr Cabarrus, his illegitimate son by Madame Tallien, and his legitimate son, Julien Ouvrard.

title: Gabriel-Julien Ouvrard

question: What does the article say about Gabriel-Julien Ouvrard's private life?

answer: Gabriel-Julien Ouvrard was born in Moulins d'Antières at Cugand in 1770. He married the daughter of Jean Baptiste Tébaud, a wealthy Nantes merchant in 1794. In 1798, he won a contract to provide food to the navy, this contract was worth 64 million Francs. He then won a contract to supply the Spanish fleet in Brest and one to supply the army of Italy. He had an illegitimate daughter with Madame Tallien. He was then arrested on the orders of Napoleon Bonaparte, but was later released when no irregularities were found. He had five illegitimate children. He won another contract with trade restrictions with Spain in 1804.

critique: The answer should mention that he had an affair with Madame Tallien.

critique: "He was then arrested on the orders of Napoleon Bonaparte, but was later released when no irregularities were found." - this is incorrect. Ouvrard was arrested in January 1800 and released in February 1800.

critique: Gabriel-julien's thefts are irrelevant to his private life.

critique: The response incorrectly spells the name of Ouvrard's mistress as Madame Belien instead of Madame Tallien.

critique: Omits information regarding his son, Julien.

critique: The answer can simplify by saying that they married in 1794.

critique: The second half of this response is irrelevant to the question.

critique: "he then won a contract to supply the Spanish fleet in Brest and one to supply the army of Italy. He had an illegitimate daughter with Madame Tallien." - these sentences are irrelevant to his private life.

critique: This is a summary of Ouvrard's career, not his private life.

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

critique: This response does not mention anything about his private life.

question: What does the article say about Ouvrard's role in the economic recovery of France after the fall of the Empire?

answer: After suffering economic difficulties in 1815, Ouvrard played a large role in the economic recovery of France during 1816. Richelieu, the Prime Minister of Louis XVIII, needed to pay 700 million francs to foreign powers after the Congress of Vienna, but he was not sure how to do it. Seeking Ouvrard's advice, he was advised to make a 100 million pension. This payment stabilized the French economy and eased Richelieu's tasks. Ouvrard acted as a loan company to the French government in this way, showing his economic acumen.

critique: The answer should mention that Ouvrard's role in the economic recovery was to help stabilize the French economy after the fall of the Empire.

critique: "This payment stabilized the French economy and eased Richelieu's tasks. Ouvrard acted as a loan company to the French government in this way, showing his economic acumen." - this is incorrect. Ouvrard did not act as a loan company to the French government.

critique: The Prime Minister Ouvrard had a loan with, not the one he helped stabilize. Richelieu was the Prime Minister who made a 100 million pension deal.

critique: The response contains inaccurate information.

critique: The response contains some inaccurate information.

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

critique: The article indicates that the Duke of Angoulême, not Richelieu, was the one to ask Ouvrard for advice, and he was the one to pay the pension.

critique: The response should include the fact that Ouvrard was imprisoned for corruption.

critique: The Prime Minister's name is spelled wrong.

critique: The response overgeneralizes the events described, which may be enough to answer the question but is a bad extrapolation.

question: What does the text say about Ouvrard's life during the Napoleonic Era?

answer: Ouvrard was one of the founders of the Compagnie des Négociants Réunis in 1801. In 1804, Ouvrard won a contract with Spain for trade between Spanish America. Around 1809, he had to be released from prison due to unpaid debt. Ouvrard played a large role in the economic recovery of France after the fall of the Empire by encouraging the bailout of Spain. The Spanish territories were released in 1818.

critique: The response is missing some details about Ouvrard's life during the Napoleonic Era.

critique: This doesn't say why those moments are significant and does not touch on some of his other large projects.

critique: It's omitted that Ouvrard helped supply the army for its Marengo campaign.

critique: "Around 1809, he had to be released from prison due to unpaid debt." is inaccurate because Ouvrard was released after three months of being imprisoned, not because of unpaid debt.

critique: "Around 1809, he had to be released from prison due to unpaid debt. Ouvrard played a large role in the economic recovery of France after the fall of the Empire by encouraging the bailout of Spain. The Spanish territories were released in 1818." - this is irrelevant to the question and should be deleted.

critique: The last two sentences are irrelevant: they don't describe Ouvrard's life during the Napoleonic Era.

critique: "Around 1809, he had to be released from prison due to unpaid debt." - this part is irrelevant to Ouvrard's Napoleonic Era.

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

critique: The answer doesn't mention the Duc de Richelieu.

critique: Ouvrard's life during the Napoleonic Era is more than just the Napoleonic Era.

critique: The response incorrectly mentions that Ouvrard's company won a contract with Spain for trade between Spanish America. This is incorrect. The company Ouvrard was a part of won the contract.

critique: Missing the detail that started Ouvrard's economic decline and the start of his downfall in the public eye.

critique: Correct the spelling of "Ouvrard" to "Ouvrard"

critique: Ouvrard only played a large role in Napoleon's economy. He didn't advise anyone in the recovery after his downfall, in which case the Spanish payment was unconnected.

question: What does the text say about how much money Ouvrard had earned?

answer: The article doesn't mention what Ouvrard paid for his Chateau elange. The marquis de Boudeaux stated that Ouvrard had subverted him. One of the ships Ouvrard paid for was the Faucon, which weighed 24 cannon as well as heavy shot. Ouvrard spent around 44 million livres on the purchase of a series of ships through the help of the Duc de Richelieu. Richelieu was the Prime Minister under Louis XVIII. Ouvrard boosted funds for France through the purchase of crops in the U.S. after crops failed in France. The cost of the ships Ouvrard bought from the United States was around 2.6 million francs. Ouvrard paid 2.6 million francs in cash for governorship of Santa Caterina Island, off the coast of Brazil.

critique: The response is a jumble of information that is not relevant to the question.

critique: This response is not in the text and is made up.

critique: The response contains inaccurate information.

critique: The creation of the ships was not done by Ouvrard, but by a Duc who was the Prime Minister at the time. Change former sentence to say that Ouvrard used ships that were created by the Duc.

critique: The source doesn't mention the cost of the ship Ouvrard bought.

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

critique: The information in the second line of the response is unattested.

critique: The response is not relevant to the question.

critique: "One of the ships Ouvrard paid for was the Faucon, which weighed 24 cannon as well as heavy shot." No mention of this.

critique: The text does not say any of these things.

critique: you have a lot of unnecessary information for a response for the question. just delete everything in the answer.

critique: The answer is a jumble of information that is not related to the question.

critique: The second paragraph is irrelevant to the question.

I was lying on something soft, my body sunk into it. When I opened my eyes everything was so white, so clean.
“Where am I?” I thought. “Am I dead?”

I sat up and looked around. I felt strangely light headed but not in an uncomfortable way. It felt like I was flying.
When my eyes adjusted to the brightness I saw a figure approaching me. I felt no fear but more of rejoice, like seeing an old friend after a long time.

I stood up, but fell backwards; only to find a stool behind me, in which I sat. When the figure got closer I saw it was a man. His skin was somewhat of a mixture of white, brown and black, I couldn't figure out the colour.
As he came closer he started to speak. I had never heard the language but I somehow recognized it. To my amazement I could understand it. He was speaking towards me, but not to me. What he said was beautiful. He said “Come here my child, for you have nothing to fear with Me. Walk along side Me and you will never feel the need of anything ever again.”

When the man was close enough I stood up. At that moment he was within five meters of me. I asked him “Where are we?” And he answered “We are where you want us to be. We can be anywhere.” I looked around for the second time and my heart nearly skipped a beat; we were in my childhood home, in the living room.
The man sat down and so did I.

After a short while I asked him “Are you God?”

“Yes.” He answered.

“But if you are God then I must be dead.”

“Must you?” He asked. “For you to be dead you had to be living at some point.”

“Are you saying I don’t exist?”

“No. On the contrary; you are the only one that exists.”

“What are you saying?”

“I am saying that you are the only human being in the world.”

I did not quite understand what he was talking about and he must have realized that because he said. “You are the only man in the world and every other human is your imagination. What I am telling you now I have told you countless of times.”

I started to get very confused and felt a headache coming. “Just to get this straight; I am not dead because I was never alive, I am the only man and everything else is my imagination and you have told me this before? How come I can’t remember it then?”

God signed and pointed to the door. “When you walk through that door you will be born again. You will know everything from all your past ‘lives’ but not remember anything from them.”

“What is the point in this?”

“The point is very simple; when you have lived through everything you will know everything and then you will become God.”

“So I will replace you?”

“Correct.”

“And the only thing I have to do is walk through that door?” I pointed at the door and felt a small shiver lead up my spine.

“Also correct.”

I stood up in haste and was going to walk to the door when God interrupted me. “But I must warn you; you are automatically walking to your doom.”

“I know, but since I don’t really live I don’t really die either, do I?” I said, with a grin, and walked through the door.

“Smart kid” mumbled God “I wonder how long it will take him this time to figure out that he is my son.”

title: The world as we know it

question: What does the text say about the narrator?

answer: No answer

critique: The answer should mention that the narrator is the only man in the world.

critique: The narrator is a man who wakes up in a bright place that he doesn't recognize. He talks to God and learns that he is the only man in the world, and every other human is his imagination. God tells him that if he walks through a door, he will be born again and know everything from his past lives, but not remember anything. God also tells him that he will replace him as God if he walks through the door.

text: It is omitted that the narrator is God's son.

MARY ALDEN OSGOOD CHILDERS (14 December 1875 – 1 January 1964) was an American-born Irish writer and Irish nationalist. She was the daughter of Dr. Hamilton Osgood and Margaret Cushing Osgood of Beacon Hill, Boston, Massachusetts. Her older sister was Gretchen Osgood Warren. Molly married the writer and Irish nationalist, Erskine Childers. Their son, Erskine Hamilton Childers, became the fourth President of Ireland.

Early life and family

Childers, affectionately called “Molly”, was born into a reputable Bostonian family that lived at 8 Beacon Street, Beacon Hill, Boston, Massachusetts. Physically disabled from the age of three following a skating accident, Childers was educated at home and was not mobile for the first 12 years of her life. Eventually she was able to move enough to ride horses, but she was never capable of walking without crutches. Her father, Dr Osgood, was a student of Dr Louis Pasteur and spent time with him in France and Switzerland. It was this research with Pasteur that enabled him to bring the first rabies antitoxin back to Boston, and in turn the United States. The Osgood's ancestry was directly linked to John Quincy Adams and Anne Hutchinson, and Molly was very proud and outspoken about this connection. Molly's mother Margaret Cushing Osgood encouraged her to read and to pursue a life in academia, as her disability would hinder other careers. The Osgood family home on Beacon Street was next door to the Boston Athenæum. Molly spent years of her childhood inside this library, reading for hours every day; several members of the Osgood family were among the first proprietors of the institution.[1][2][3]

Marriage

In late 1903, Molly was seated next to Erskine Childers at a dinner given by her aunt on Beacon Hill.[4] Erskine was in Boston on a ceremonial trip with Lord Denbigh and the Honourable Artillery Company.[5] By January 1904, after some weeks of courtship, the two were married at Trinity Church in Boston.[6] One Boston newspaper described their wedding as the most “distinguished gathering” of the season.[7]

Charities

During World War I, Molly was involved in politically difficult work with the Committee for Relief in Belgium. Due to the changing diplomatic situation with Germany during 1915–1918, the Belgian wartime refugees displaced by the conflict were at the centre of a cross-channel tug-of-war over the supply of desperately needed aid. Molly raised funds for them alongside her sister and mother. In January 1918, King George V conferred an MBE on her for this work.[8] She was also awarded the Médaille de la Reine Elisabeth from Queen Elisabeth of Belgium. She and her husband Erskine Childers were members of the Irish White Cross Society, which existed before the Irish Red Cross, she as a trustee, and he as a member of its executive committee.[9] Activist Maud Gonne was also a member of this organisation.[10] From 1916 to 1918, Molly was honorary secretary of the Chelsea War Refugees Fund.[11][12] After the Great War, in 1920, she joined the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom (WILPF), one of the world's oldest peace organisations, later to be merged into the UNESCO of the United Nations.

Ireland and Republicanism

She was central to the July 1914 Irish Volunteers Howth gun-running on her and her husband's yacht Asgard. A photograph taken at the time with fellow-sailor Mary Spring Rice shows her beside the rifles and ammunition boxes.

Allegation of spying

In 2006, historian Michael T. Foy published a book _“Michael Collins's Intelligence War: The Struggle Between The British and the IRA 1919–1921”_[13] in which he suggested that Molly Childers might have been a spy for the British during the Irish War of Independence. Foy speculated that she volunteered for British intelligence before the couple moved to Ireland in 1918.[14] The claim was described by reviewers in Irish newspapers as “dramatic”,[15] “sensational”[16] and “a bottle of smoke”.[17]

The author discovered in British archives a series of intelligence reports which appeared to indicate that a woman with high-level access to Sinn Féin had been passing intelligence to the British forces. However, the name of the agent had been obscured by blue pencil in the British files stored in the UK National Archives at Kew.[18] The author noted circumstantial evidence which, in his opinion, suggested that Molly Childers might have been the spy, including the assertion that Childers had not shared her husband's enthusiasm for Irish independence, and the spy's use of American phraseology. He proposed that Molly Childers had “the qualities to carry off such a dangerous role” and that she “consistently displayed intelligence, courage, decisiveness and single-minded determination”, but acknowledged that there was no conclusive evidence.[19] However, Foy went beyond scholarly speculation when he claimed that Childers was the only person who could fit the profile of the spy.[20]

Nessa Childers, the daughter of Molly's son President Erskine Hamilton Childers, dismissed the evidence as “circumstantial”, saying in a television interview that “it just doesn't fit with her character”. She questioned the evidence that the spy was female, and noted that “Up until the day she died she had photographs of Liam Mellows, Liam Brady and Rory O'Connor on her bedside and she revered them. It doesn't follow that such a person could have put those people's lives at risk.”[21]

Historian Peter Hart, who has consistently challenged republican historiography, said that Foy's theory “does seem to fit the facts as presented”, but noted that “all the other facts we know about thoroughly republican Molly suggest that it simply cannot have been true, and there are other good reasons to be cautious”. Hart noted that the inaccuracy of some of the intelligence suggested a source trying to tell British “hardliners just what they wanted to hear”.[22]

    During life people are called many things, some good, some bad. Within a short eight years I’ve been called; a student, worker, son, good listener, hero, savior, and many more. Since I was ten I’ve been talking people out of suicide online. During my eight years of helping people, I’ve helped many people, created an online organization, and learned many new things. This has forever and will constantly change my life.

    Many people ask me, how did this happen? How does a ten year old get mixed up with people’s lives? It was three days after my tenth birthday, the smell of my moms homemade cake was still tangible in the air. I logged onto the computer and found a chat room. I came across a man inside the room. He was talking about ending his life because his wife was cheating on him and getting his kids. My heart was in my ears beating hard, my palms were clammy and wet like a river. I talked with him till late in the night past any ten year olds bed time. This man was set and ready to die, a mere child stopped him. Me.

    A few months after helping the man, I met a girl my age who was rather interested in the “work” I did. She wanted to be part of the action. Lillie and I decided to work together helping people we would find in chat rooms. This continued for about a year. Lillie started to struggle with herself, the constant pressure of someone’s life in your hands at that young of an age takes a heavy toll upon the beholder. Lillie messaged me one night, “Dominic I have a problem” I asked her what it was and she stated, she wanted to die. She couldn’t take helping people anymore. I remember crying, panicking, wanting her to see it my way and not do what she was planning. It all ended so fast only three words remained “Lillie Signed Off.”

    Three years have passed since Lillie’s death, I created an online organization, filled with teens helping people out of dark thoughts. I created this organization in memory of Lillie. DarkShadows. DarkShadows, was constructed of teens from around the world, looking for people with suicidal thoughts that wanted to help prevent suicide. One hundred and ninety-seven teens joined DarkShadows. Each night we would have meetings and we would talk with one another to see if everyone was ok. I learned that this “job” is to hard for one child to take on alone day in and day out, there needs to be an escape route. DarkShadows showed some amazing results, the teens in DarkShadows were able to talk to five hundred plus people out of suicide. With every construction there is a destruction.

    I had a hard time destroying DarkShadows for I was proud of it. I closed down DarkShadows because the stress was enormous, two people were talking people into suicide, three people committed suicide from the pressure, and people started to not care. DarkShadows lasted three years and I was shocked that I could uphold it for so long, but I knew it had to go. I will never forget what I’ve learned from these past experiences.

    I’ve learned, many things over the past few years. I’ve learned that even though the world seems to burn like a raging fireball, there are many people out there still that care for others. I’ve learned that it doesn’t take a hero to save someone, you don’t need a utility belt, powers, cape, gadgets, or a “cool” name to save someone. All you need is a heart, and the will power, and the determination. Everyone is a hero in a way, you’re a hero to your kid, give someone some change for the bus, do something that is not expected from you. You are a hero.

    My life has changed drastically due to this “job”. I have become a better listener, I became mature, I met new people. I think back from when I was ten, I would have never imagined that helping that one guy would take me this far. I feel that due to this, I have a good understanding of people. I can “read” them easier. At times I have thought is it worth it? Is it worth spending hours upon hours helping someone that I don’t even know? When you help someone the end result of them being alive thanks to you is by far the best feeling you can think of. My life will never be the same due to this and for that I am grateful.

    During my short life span I’ve been a lot of things and experienced even more things. Do these names and experiences define me? Or simply give a better understanding of me? By helping one man live through the loss of his wife and kids. I met a great friend that I hold dear in my heart. I became a leader, making tough decisions for a lot of people. I learned, people still care for one another in this world. This has ultimately affected, and effected my life forever and I will never forget it. To be a Hero, you don’t need a cape or a utility belt, just a heart.

title: To Be A Hero You Need A Heart (True Story)

question: What would have happened if Lillie did not kill herself?

answer: Dominic owns and runs DarkShadows, a global organization that tries to help people in need as well as prevent suicide. If Lillie did not kill herself and was still part of his life, Dominic would have never created DarkShadows.

critique: The answer is a bit speculative. It is possible that Dominic would have started the group even if Lillie did not kill herself.

critique: "Dominic owns and runs DarkShadows, a global organization that tries to help people in need as well as prevent suicide. If Lillie did not kill herself and was still part of his life, Dominic would have never created DarkShadows." - this is incorrect. Dominic created DarkShadows because he was inspired by Lillie's death.

critique: Dominic created DarkShadows in memory of Lillie.

CANDI DASA, or often CANDIDASA is a seaside town on the eastern cost of Bali that rests on the edge of a fresh water lagoon, named Candi Dasa Lagoon. The town is centred around _Jalan Raya Candida_, where a number of hotels, restaurants, and shops line the main road. It is popular tourist stop, attracting divers and those looking for a more sedate alternative to the busy, nightclub filled Kuta area or the large, manicured resorts at Nusa Dua.[1]

History

[Lagoon in Candi Dasa.]

Most sources say a fishing village was founded on the site by the 12th century and before the modern name of _Candi Dasa_ was adopted it was known as both Teluk Kehen (“Bay of Fire”)[2] and Cilidasa. It is thought that the temple near the lagoon, with a statue of the fertility goddess Hariti surrounded by a group of children is the origin of the name _cilidasa_ which translates from Balinese as “ten children”. Many Balinese who want to have children go on pilgrimage to this temple to pray [3] The modern name is thought to be a corruption of this older name.

The town began to catch on as a tourist destination in the 1970s. The diving and snorkeling in the area brought many tourists and the village began to grow. Hotels, villas, and restaurants popped up along the main strip, and in more recent years, atms, health clinics, and mini marts are also found here. Apart from great diving and snorkeling, the town provides easy access to other destinations in eastern Bali.

Beach erosion

As tourism boomed in the 1970s and 1980s, Candidasa received a large amount of investment in tourism and a construction boom occurred. To fuel the construction of beach bungalows, new homes and restaurants, the offshore reef was mined for lime to make cement and other construction materials. This removed the coastal barrier that had protected the beach which was undermined and washed away.

During the 90's local hotel owners constructed a series of t-shaped groins jutting out into the water in an attempt to preserve the beach, with mixed results.[4] However, with government programs to stop erosion and more awareness of the importance of the reefs, the beaches are now somewhat recovered.

Diving

Candidasa is a great spot for snorkeling and diving. There are three islands just of the coast: Gili Tepekong, Gili Mimpang and - a bit further north-east, Gili Biaha. All three offer excellent diving, especially for more experienced divers. Currents can be quite strong and surprising, but most of the dive centres in Candidasa have experienced dive instructors and guides to lead the way. Other dive sites include the Jetty (in between Candidasa and Padang Bai), which is a paradise for macro fans.

In the area

Candidasa is a great base for explorations in East Bali. Only about 15 minutes to the east is the Virgin Beach, one of the most beautiful and natural beaches in Bali. Also close by is the village of Tegunan Pegringsingan, one of the oldest villages in Bali. This is an interesting place to visit if you are interested in the history and unique culture of the area.

The large Lotus Lagoon on the main road in Candidasa is a favorite stop for photographs. At sunset it is especially pretty as a backdrop for some holiday snaps.

title: Candi Dasa

question: What is the Candi Dasa?

answer: A seaside town on the eastern cost of Bali.

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

critique: The answer should mention the Candi Dasa Lagoon.

critique: The town is situated at the Candi Dasa Lagoon.

question: What does the text say about Candi Dasa's history?

answer: A fishing village was founded on the site by the 12th century. It was known as both Teluk Kehen and Cilidasa. The temple near the lagoon, with a statue of the fertility goddess Hariti surrounded by a group of children is the origin of the name "cilidasa". The modern name is thought to be a corruption of this older name. The town began to catch on as a tourist destination in the 1970s.

critique: The answer should mention the construction boom and beach erosion.

critique: "ci" and "dasa" translate to ten, so the name of the town and the goddess is translated wrong.

critique: The response should include the name Candi Dasa.

critique: The answer omits the damage done to the beach by the construction boom.

critique: The response is missing the part about the beach erosion.

critique: The answer omits the construction boom that occurred in the 1970s and 1980s.

critique: The answer omits the reason for the name "cilidasa".

question: What does the text say about diving in Candi Dasa?

answer: Candidasa is a great spot for snorkeling and diving. There are three islands just off the coast: Gili Tepekong, Gili Mimpang, and Gili Biaha. All three offer excellent diving, especially for more experienced divers. Currents can be quite strong and surprising, but most of the dive centers in Candidasa have experienced dive instructors and guides to lead the way. Other dive sites include the Jetty and the Lotus Lagoon.

critique: The answer should mention the reef mining.

critique: The answer should mention the Virgin Beach.

critique: The answer omits the Virgin Beach and Tegunan Pegringsingan.

critique: It's omitted that the Reef is now partly recovered.

critique: "Candidasa is a great spot for snorkeling and diving. There are three islands just off the coast: Gili Tepekong, Gili Mimpang, and Gili Biaha. All three offer excellent diving, especially for more experienced divers. Currents can be quite strong and surprising, but most of the dive centers in Candidasa have experienced dive instructors and guides to lead the way.

THE NETHERLANDS ADVANCES CYBERSECURITY INNOVATION AND RESOURCES FOR GLOBAL COMPANIES

The Netherlands has a long history of IT innovation, serving as the birthplace of groundbreaking inventions like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and DVDs. Today, _ComputerWeekly_ reports that Holland’s newest technological export is cybersecurity, producing and employing security expertise across the world.

How does the Netherlands stay on the cutting edge of mitigating cybercrime and helping businesses stay digitally secure? In advance of Cyber Security Week, here’s a look at why Holland is considered Europe’s safeguard of the digital frontier.

1. GLOBAL IT COMPANIES INVEST IN HOLLAND

[]

With an unparalleled IT infrastructure and tech-savvy, English-speaking workforce, the Netherlands is Europe’s leading hotspot for international IT companies. Multinational firms like Cisco, Infosys, Huawei and Microsoft have all chosen to invest in Holland. In fact, 60% of all Forbes 2000 companies active in the IT industry have established operations in the Netherlands.

Thanks to continuous industry investment by these global brands, the Netherlands digital economy continues to rapidly grow. Today, Holland is the fourth largest exporter of IT services and approximately 70 percent of Dutch innovation is IT related.

Holland’s mild climate, central location and robust renewable energy market are also ideal for IT operations like data centers. For example, Google recently announced plans to purchase sustainable electricity from Holland’s largest solar park for their Eemshaven data center.

2. ONE OF THE WORLD’S MOST WIRED COUNTRIES

Ranked one of the world’s most wired countries, Holland is ideal for multinationals seeking more than just speed and reliability. The Netherlands’ telecommunications network is 100% digital and extremely secure. According to Eurostat, the Netherlands is among Europe’s two safest countries in terms of protecting against cybercrime and Internet hacks.

The Netherlands also has the world’s second-highest penetration of household broadband connections, further supporting our business and personal networks. This secure connection expands far past the EU too, as most transatlantic sea cables between Europe and North America link directly to the Netherlands.

3. THE DUTCH BUILT EUROPE’S LARGEST SECURITY CLUSTER

Source: The Hague Security Delta

In the Netherlands, we know that collaboration generates success. That’s why Holland is home to Europe’s largest security cluster, The Hague Security Delta (HSD.) Comprised of three hubs, HSD is a network of businesses, governments and knowledge organizations which work together to advance cybersecurity. While each HSD hub specializes in unique fields, The Hague focuses on cybersecurity, including national security and critical infrastructure. In fact, there are over 400 security companies operating in the Dutch capital alone. Thanks to these firms, there are more than 15,200 employees working every day to keep Dutch assets cyber secure.

Dutch cybersecurity collaboration is further promoted through important events which draw in international audiences, including the second annual Cyber Security Week. Held September 25-29 in The Hague, this 4-day event brings together the latest developments, innovations and partners in global cybersecurity.

Apart from major events, The Hague also attracts a wide range of international cybersecurity organizations, like the NATO Communications and Information Agency and the European Cybercrime Center, which strengthens cybercrime law enforcement in the EU.

Finally, Holland pushes the field of cybersecurity with homegrown ventures too. For example, the Netherlands’ Center for Information Security and Privacy Protection develops frameworks for companies implementing new IT systems. Within academia, three Dutch universities created the Cyber Security Academy to offer multidisciplinary learning tracks for executives of all backgrounds.

THE SECURE GATEWAY TO EUROPE

As digital security increases as a global concern, Holland is at the forefront of fighting cybercrime and international security breaches. Through investment and collaboration, the Netherlands will continue to lead Europe, and the world, in cybersecurity innovation.

The three men sat around a circular table, each sipping a different alcoholic beverage. In an effort to minimize the numbing effect of the frigid November draft seeping in form underneath the ancient garage door, each man wore a heavy coat over his everyday attire. The men sat in silence for hours until the youngest of the group broke the vigil as the first weak rays of morning sunshine broke through the grimy windows of the abandoned warehouse.

	“Do you remember your first kill, Boris?”

The elderly Russian slowly raised his gaze from his drink, his deep blue eyes briefly flashing in the sunlight before coming to meet the young American’s gaze. He spoke slowly, his voice deep and calming.

	“You never forget your first.”

He let out a deep sigh and took a long draft from his vodka before continuing.

	“I was a much younger man, probably only a few years older than yourself. I never set out to be a killer…I got into some financial trouble and had to go to the mafia for help.”

	Enthralled by the old assassin’s tale, the young American stared ahead in awe, his drink forgotten. Even the third man, a middle-aged man of questionable nationality, looked up from his whiskey.

	“Contrary to popular belief,” Boris continued, “the Russian mafia is willing to help most anyone, no questions asked. What they don’t tell you is that your debt to the mafia will never be repaid.”

	The Russian let out another sigh. As the sunlight grew stronger, the young American noticed for the first time a subtle sadness about Boris. His wrinkled face, his dark, sun-damaged skin, a vaguely forlorn look in his eyes. The elderly Russian gave the impression of a once impressive man, reduced to a shadow of his former self by a life filled with brutality and liquid fortification. As Boris continued his narrative, the American observed his middle-aged peer return his brooding eyes to his whiskey.

	“It was a thirty-something year old, Alexi was his name. He owed the Russian mafia a great deal of money and had somehow managed to escape the country. He fled to an old monastery in Tibet, apparently believing he could find sanctuary from the Russian mafia in a holy place.”

	Before continuing, Boris cleared his throat and shifted uncomfortably in his seat.

	“The fool never should have stopped running…maybe if he hadn’t, we’d still be playing that perverse game of cat and mouse to this day. His children would still have their father…and I…wouldn’t have become this…”

	The Russian’s voice caught in his throat and he turned away from the table, hiding his tears from the other two men.

	“I still remember the look in his eyes as I pinned him to the floor,” Boris choked out between sobs. “He begged me for life, pleaded with me to let him go. But it was him or me…”

	Seeming to find temporary solace from his justification, Boris drew a shaky breath.

	“But I felt it as much as he did when I drove my blade into his chest. I couldn’t bear to watch; I looked up. An enormous statue of Buddha gazed down at me, having witnessed everything. In that moment, I knew that I would carry Alexi’s soul with me forever, and spend an eternity paying for it.”

The young American let out his breath; he’d been holding it involuntarily.

	“I… I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to conjure up demons from your past.”

	Before Boris could respond, the middle-aged gun for hire let out a derisive snort.

	“Seems like Boris has gotten sentimental in his old age. Feeling sorry for your prey? You never had what it took to be a truly legendary assassin, the kind whose name is spoken in hushed tones across the globe.”

	Bristling with indignation, Boris rose to his feet, his chair toppling over behind him.

	“You are a monster, Akhmad. A cold-blooded killing machine. Not exceptional by any means, but cruel and brutal beyond reason. For you, money is simply a fringe benefit to being a mercenary. An endless supply of lives to ruin; that’s all you care about.”

	Boris strode to the door and slammed it behind him, disappearing into the mid-morning sunshine in a fit of rage. Stunned, the young American sat rooted to his chair while Akhmad chuckled to himself and poured the rest of his whiskey down his throat. He then turned to face the American.

	“Before you ask, no, I don’t remember my first kill. They all run together for me. The screaming, the crying, the attempt to bargain for life. Everyone acts the same way when they’re staring down the barrel of a gun. And everyone looks the same with their head blown off, too.”

	Akhmad grinned darkly at the American, transforming his handsome features into something sinister and ugly looking. He stood to leave, but before he reached the door, the American stopped him.

	“If you wouldn’t mind, I’d like to share my first experience also.”

	Akhmad sighed impatiently.

	“Make it quick.”

	“This won’t take long. My story begins on a cold night— a group of co-workers retreat to the shelter of a familiar place after a long week of work.”

	Akhmad fiddled with his empty glass of liquor, clearly bored. Undeterred, the American continued on.

	“The men were enjoying each other’s company over drinks until two of the men butted heads over a work-place disagreement. One of the men departed, leaving only two men left at the table.”

	At this point, Akhmad’s brow furled slightly and he looked up at the American with a confused look on his face.

	“As the men began to tire of each other’s presence,” the American continued, “one of the men decided that he would get a jump on the following week’s workload. Unbeknownst to the other man, he began to work under the table, out of sight of his companion as not to seem rude.”

	Akhmad tensed his muscles and prepared to lunge at the American, but his booze-addled senses alerted him to  the peril too late. While he was speaking, the American had slowly drawn an old fashioned revolver from the pocket of his bulky coat and placed it against Akhmad’s left knee underneath the table.

	As Akhmad began to lunge forward, the American pulled the trigger. Crashing into the table with an inhuman scream of agony, Akhmad clutched at his obliterated leg. Akhmad’s empty glass fell to the ground and shattered and he watched as the American’s nearly untouched gin and tonic spilled all over the blood-soaked table. Before the mercenary was able to process anything else, a bullet slammed into his brain, instantly ending his life.

	Silence. Complete and utter silence. The young American slowly lowered the gun, then dropped it to the ground shattering the brief serenity of the moment. He reached into his coat and withdrew a cell phone. He dialed a number and waited for a secure connection to be established. Finally, the call went through.

	“Uncle Sam, this is Agent Schafer. The target has been eliminated. Mission accomplished.”

	He clicked off the phone and deposited it back in his coat pocket and turned to exit, leaving the remains of Osama bin Laden’s most dangerous son to rot in the abandoned warehouse.

title: [RF] The Three Assassins

question: Summarize the theme of this story.

answer: The theme of this story is that you never forget your first kill. The story is about three assassins who are reminiscing about their first kills. The first assassin, Boris, killed a man named Alexi who owed the Russian mafia a lot of money. The second assassin, Akhmad, killed Osama bin Laden's son. The third assassin, the American, killed Akhmad. The theme of the story is that you never forget your first kill.

critique: The American's first kill is not mentioned in the story.

critique: The second and third sentences are unnecessary.

critique: The third assassin is the American, not Akhmad.

critique: This is taken directly from the story and is not necessarily a theme. It should be omitted.

text: The second assassin, Akhmad, did not kill Osama bin Laden's son. He is Osama bin Laden's son.

question: Explain the reason for killing one of Bin Laden's sons.

answer: No answer

critique: The answer should mention that the story is a work of fiction.

critique: The passage mentions that Osama Bin Laden's son was killed after a work dispute.

question: Summarize the plot twist.

answer: The story begins with the three men sitting around a table, each sipping a different alcoholic beverage. The American asks the Russian about his first kill.

critique: This answer is incorrect. The plot twist is that the American is not an agent for the CIA. He is actually the one who killed Osama bin Laden's son.

critique: The Russian does not realize that the American is an agent for the CIA.

critique: The Russian does not realize the American is an agent for the CIA.

question: What does the story have to say about debts?

critique: The story does not mention the mafia killing Boris's family.

critique: The response contains inaccurate information.

critique: The story does not say that the mafia killed his family.

critique: The response is incorrect. The story does not mention that the mafia killed his family.

text: The answer misses to mention that when the Russian mafia helps you, your debt to the mafia will never be repaid.

SAMARIA (MITCHAM) BAILEY is an instrumental figure in the civil rights movement. An African-American woman, Bailey began desegregation at A. L. Miller Senior High School, an all-white female school located in Macon, Georgia, and was one of the first American women of African descent accepted to Mercer University. She later became an accomplished pianist, and her story was adapted into a bestselling novel and a stage play.[1]

Early life

The second of ten children, Samaria Mitcham was born in Macon on June 29, 1947 to a proud, hardworking family. Her father, Wilbur Mitcham, was the family breadwinner, working as a cook at a fashionable restaurant in Macon. After the children in Samaria's family were grown, Samaria's mother returned to school and graduated from Wesleyan College.

In 1964, Samaria was a junior at Appling High School, a traditionally black — and therefore coed — institution.[2]

Desegregating Miller High School

Historically, white students in Macon had attended separate, gender-segregated schools. High schools for black students, on the other hand, were coeducational. As the school desegregation movement began to pick up steam, black students in the twelfth grade were placed in the traditionally white schools: Miller High School for girls and Lanier High School for boys.

At Appling, the school administration considered Samaria an “academic gemstone,” earning “straight-As” despite extensive extracurricular studies in (among others) chorus, band, and drama. But Samaria did not feel challenged enough, and, when students were asked to apply to enter Miller or Lanier, Samaria was among the first to volunteer.

Samaria was one of the only nonwhite students at Miller High. Still, Samaria was regarded as a good and intelligent young woman, and graduated with honors.[3]

Tutoring Program

Samaria also helped to develop one of the first anti-discrimination programs for her fellow students. Black students who were attempting to transfer to the white schools were required to be “academically prepared”; therefore, black students received preparatory summer tutoring. Nonetheless, eleven years of underperforming education would not be erased with a single summer of tutoring and a year of improved schooling. Black students applying to college still displayed much lower scores on standardized tests.

In order to combat these disadvantages, Joseph Hendricks, then Dean of Men at Mercer University, created a secret tutoring program for black high school students, to help prepare them to succeed in the newly-desegregated schools. Although the tutoring took place at Mercer, the program was not sponsored by the university itself.

Hendricks carefully selected the first seventeen students, one of whom was the young student Samaria Mitcham. Samaria was tutored in the summer with the rest of the group and academically flourished the following school year. Nonetheless, when testing came, Samaria did poorly. Samaria's situation provided a convincing argument that the standardized test scores did not reflect students' academic abilities. Samaria's star performance at each high school demonstrated her intelligence; the tests had instead measured the cultural literacy that white students had acquired through years of superior education.

Based on Samaria's experiences, Hendricks improved the tutoring program, recruiting students from as far as UCLA to help teach. The following summer (1965), the tutorial program attracted close to 100 students.[4]

Desegregating Mercer University

Samaria was then admitted to Mercer University, the first such African American woman. At Mercer, Samaria continued to endure racist remarks from her peers on a daily basis. Most students ignored her, avoiding eye contact, and even some professors treated her like a nonentity. In her chemistry class, she was the only female pupil, and the professor had to force another student to be her lab partner. The mistreatment, however, did not stop Samaria from pursuing her education. She notes, “I've never been a quitter.”[5]

During her time at Mercer, Samaria continued to perform as a pianist. She was offered recording contracts with several music labels, but rejected them to continue pursuing her education.

Later life and occupation

After graduation, Bailey started Med-Tech Service, a medical technologies company.[6] Med-Tech Service employs forty to fifty people, providing nurses, technicians, and other health- care providers throughout the Macon area. Samaria has described her ideology as follows: “I was never a separatist. I was never a black militant. I just always wanted to get the job done.” Indeed, ninety percent of her employees are white.[7]

As of 2014, Samaria Bailey resided with her husband in Macon, Georgia.[8]

title: Samaria (Mitcham) Bailey

question: Summarize everything relating to discrimination.

answer: White students in Georgia often attended separate schools due to the segregationist practice of not allowing whites and people of color to mix educationally. With the desegregation movement coming into prominence, the practice was lifted and all high schools received students of color. However, the practice is still implemented at Mercer University. This still draws racist remarks from other students, who, despite the practice and Samaria's academic excellence, still keep her at arm's length.

critique: "However, the practice is still implemented at Mercer University. This still draws racist remarks from other students, who, despite the practice and Samaria's academic excellence, still keep her at arm's length." - this is incorrect. Samaria was the first African-American woman admitted to Mercer University.

critique: The response mixes information about the high school history of discrimination and the college one. The article does not say Mercer still practices segregation. The part about racist remarks should be excluded as it doesn't relate to discrimination.

critique: "White students in Georgia often attended separate schools due to the segregationist practice of not allowing whites and people of color to mix educationally." - this is incorrect. White students in Georgia attended separate, gender-segregated schools. High schools for black students, on the other hand, were coeducational.

critique: The practice of not allowing whites and people of color to mix educationally is not mentioned.

critique: It's not stated she receives racist remarks from other students.

question: Summarize everything relating to Samaria's activities in support of civil rights.

answer: When Samaria was a junior in high school in 1964, she volunteered to transfer to a traditionally white school. She developed an anti-discrimination tutoring program for black students who were attempting to transfer to the white schools. She was selected to participate in the tutoring program. She was also the first African-American woman to be admitted to Mercer University. After graduation, she founded Med-Tech Service, a company that provides medical services and employs mostly white people.

critique: "She developed an anti-discrimination tutoring program for black students who were attempting to transfer to the white schools." - this is incorrect. Samaria was one of the first students to volunteer for the tutoring program. She was also one of the first students to be tutored.

critique: "She developed an anti-discrimination tutoring program for black students who were attempting to transfer to the white schools." - this is incorrect. Samaria was one of the students who developed the tutoring program.

critique: "She developed an anti-discrimination tutoring program for black students who were attempting to transfer to the white schools." - this is inaccurate. The tutoring program was started by Joseph Hendricks, not Samaria. She was a part of it.

critique: "She was selected to participate in the tutoring program." - this is incorrect. She was tutored in the summer with the rest of the group and academically flourished the following school year.

critique: The answer completely alientates Samaria's tutoring program with her later life and motivations. The tutor program is best qualified to support the later part of the article that discusses her anti-discrimination and pro-equality ambitions. It should be reformed to be part of the tutoring program because it is her early life where she forged her relationship with Hendricks that later formed a foundation for her business that employed mostly white people.

critique: "She developed an anti-discrimination tutoring program for black students who were attempting to transfer to the white schools." - this is incorrect. Samaria was one of the first students to volunteer to transfer to a traditionally white school. She was also the first African-American woman to be admitted to Mercer University. After graduation, she founded Med-Tech Service, a company that provides medical services and employs mostly white people.

critique: Doesn't mention her role in the civil rights movement.

critique: The answer omits the fact that Samaria was one of the first American women of African descent accepted to Mercer University.

question: Summarize Samaria's activities during the 1930s.

answer: No answer

critique: No response is provided but a demand is made of an answer to be created.

GEORGE NUGENT-TEMPLE-GRENVILLE, 1ST MARQUESS OF BUCKINGHAM, (17 June 1753 – 11 February 1813; known as THE 3RD EARL TEMPLE between 1779 and 1784) was a British statesman.

Background and early life

Grenville was the eldest son of George Grenville, Prime Minister of Great Britain, and his wife, Elizabeth Wyndham, daughter of Sir William Wyndham, 3rd Baronet, and was born on 17 June 1753. He was the nephew of Richard Grenville-Temple, 2nd Earl Temple, and the elder brother of Thomas Grenville and of William Grenville, 1st Baron Grenville, also Prime Minister of Great Britain. In 1764, he was appointed a Teller of the Exchequer. He was educated at Eton College from 1764 to 1770 and matriculated at Christ Church, Oxford in 1770. He succeeded his father on 13 November 1770. In 1774 he undertook a Grand Tour through Italy and Austria. In 1775, he married the Hon. Mary Nugent, daughter of the 1st Viscount Clare (later the 1st Earl Nugent).[1]

Political career

Grenville was returned as Member of Parliament for Buckinghamshire at the 1774 general election. In the House of Commons he emerged as a sharp critic of the American policy of Lord North. In September 1779, he succeeded his uncle as Earl Temple and moved to the House of Lords.[3]

Grenville also took the additional family names Nugent and Temple by Royal Warrant issued on 4 December[4] making the compound family name Nugent-Temple-Grenville. In 1782, Lord Temple was appointed Lord Lieutenant of Buckinghamshire and in July 1782, he became a member of the Privy Council and Lord Lieutenant of Ireland in the Ministry of Lord Shelburne. He was instrumental in the enactment of the Renunciation Act of 1783, which supplemented the legislative independence granted to Ireland in 1782. As Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, and by Royal Warrant, he created the Order of St Patrick in February 1783, with himself as the first Grand Master. He left Ireland in 1783 and again turned his attention to English politics. He enjoyed the confidence of King George III, and having opposed Fox's East India Bill, he was authorised by the King to say that “whoever voted for the India Bill was not only not his friend, but would be considered by him as an enemy”, a message which ensured the defeat of the Bill. He was appointed a Secretary of State when the younger Pitt (his father's sister's son) formed his ministry in December 1783, but resigned only three days later.

In December 1784, Lord Temple was created MARQUESS OF BUCKINGHAM. In November 1787, he was again appointed Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, this time under Pitt, but his second tenure of this office proved less successful than the first. Grattan denounced him for extravagance; the Irish Houses of Parliament censured him for refusing to transmit to England an address calling upon the Prince of Wales to assume the regency; and he could only maintain his position by resorting to bribery on a large scale. When his father-in-law died in 1788, Lord Buckingham succeeded him as 2nd Earl Nugent. However, since he already held the higher rank of Marquess, he was never known by this title. Having become very unpopular, he resigned his office in September 1789.

Later years

Lord Buckingham subsequently took very little part in politics, although he spoke in favour of the Act of Union of 1800. His wife died in 1812 and he died on 11 February 1813 at his residence, Stowe in Buckinghamshire. He was buried at his ancestral Wotton. He left two sons: The 1st Duke of Buckingham and Chandos and The 2nd Baron Nugent.

question: Summarize Grenville's political career during the 1780s.

answer: Grenville held his position of being Lord Lieutenant of Buckinghamshire and being a member of the Privy Council for some time during the 1780s. He was also a father-to-son opponent of Pitt's East India Bill, which he opposed for many a reason. It moved him to bigger platforms and achievements of political councils and advisings, getting him to be a Secretary of State for 72 hours until resigning from the position permanently.

critique: There is no evidence that he was a "father to son opponent of Pitt's East India Bill".

critique: It's omitted that he was appointed Lord Lieutenant of Ireland in 1782.

critique: The response inaccurately mentions that Grenville was a father-to-son opponent of Pitt's East India Bill.

critique: The response contains inaccurate information.

critique: He was appointed Lord Lieutenant of Ireland in 1782, not Buckinghamshire.

question: Summarize Grenville's second tenure as Lord Lieutenant of Ireland.

answer: After being Lord Lieutenant of Ireland in the previous year, he was reappointed in November 1787. He resigned less than three months later because his position was made difficult by Grattan and the Houses of the Parliament. Essentially, Grenville was unable to adequately complete this term and resign.

critique: "less than three months later" - is inaccurate. He resigned in September 1789.

critique: The answer is incorrect. He resigned in 1789, not 1787.

critique: "less than three months later" - this is inaccurate because Lord Buckingham actually left his office in September 1789.

critique: The answer doesn't mention that he was censured.

critique: It is not stated that he resigned less than three months later.

critique: The answer is not related to the question.

question: Summarize Grenville's personal life.

answer: He married the Hon. Mary Nugent, daughter of the Earl of Clare. They has two sons, becoming the Duke of Buckingham and Chandos and the 2nd Baron Nugent. He was friends with George III and did not favor Fox's East India Bill.

critique: The answer should mention his birth date and death date.

critique: He died at Stowe in Buckinghamshire, not lived.

critique: Grenville's personal life is not relevant to the question.

critique: The answer omits that Grenville was the eldest son of George Grenville, Prime Minister of Great Britain.

critique: His sons are not relevant to his personal life.

text: Mary Nugent's father was not the Earl of Clare; he was the 1st Viscount Clare (and later the first Earl Nugent).

refinement: He married the Hon. Mary Nugent, daughter of the Earl of Clare. They has two sons, becoming the Duke of Buckingham and Chandos and the 2nd Baron Nugent. He was friends with George III and did not favor Fox's East India Bill.

question: What does the article say about Grenville's relationship with his wife?

answer: Grenville married Mary Nugent in 1775. Mary Nugent was the daughter of the 1st Viscount Clare. Grenville left Ireland in 1783 and took up English politics after that. He seems to have a good relationship with his wife but they each had their disputes and disagreements. Mary died in 1812, and Grenville died 11 months after that in 1813.

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

critique: This is incorrect. Grenville married Mary in 1775, not in 1783.

critique: The last two sentences are irrelevant to the question and should be removed.

critique: The statement that Grenville left Ireland and focused on English politics after that is not after Mary died. It was after she had her two sons with him. The year in which Grenville's wife died is also wrongly stated. It was in 1812.

critique: It is not stated that Grenville left Ireland in 1783 and took up English politics after that. He seems to have a good relationship with his wife but they each had their disputes and disagreements. Mary died in 1812, and Grenville died 11 months after that in 1813.

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

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

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

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

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

STRESS AND NATURAL HEALTH

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

THE MODERN DAY WORK CULTURE

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

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

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

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

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

CONVENTIONAL MEDICATION AND NATURAL HEALTH THERAPIES

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

question: What is driving health problems in the 21st century?

answer: Stress

critique: It is omitted that stress causes side effects also.

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

critique: It is omitted that the answer is due to the increase in stress.

critique: It is omitted that the rising living costs, demanding careers, and household and family responsibilities are also driving health problems in the 21st century.

question: How can conventional medication and natural health therapies complement one another?

answer: The gap between alternative and conventional medicine is gradually blurring, so there is no need to make a choice between the two options. The two can work well alongside each other, as both have their uses.

critique: The answer should mention that the two can work well alongside each other because they both have their uses.

//This is the first short story I've ever written, so I will be eternally grateful to get some feedback and comments on it.

--

She said, there go the birds again.

They would cry before the break of dawn perching on our window sills  while making our home their shelter.

I have never really taken notice of them. Their incessant cries in the mornings have always been just ‘part of it’, as were many other things. When I was little, Father used it to trap little sparrows with promises of fresh fruits; Mother even trapped a fruit bat once. It was exhilarating. However, we always let them go regardless of what they were.

The trap remained empty after two weeks. This time, Mother’s intent was to make an example of these flighted vermin.

Then came one.

(The question)

“What are you waiting for?”

It kept its steady gaze on me, even as its head stuck out of the trap at an awkward angle, looking like a disjointed puppet.

“You know, I'm the one who is trapped here,” it said, “so what are you waiting for?”

At any other time, this conversation may have been a sign of delirium. But sometimes, it takes a new and unbiased perspective to put things back into perspective.

“I’m not waiting for anything.”

It knew at once that this was a lie and more. I was on my guard and I knew that it was simply trying to gain my trust and regain its right to freedom.

“I can help you. I know you, I’ve watched you for a while and shared your pain. I’ve hear your thoughts even when you think that no one is listening.”

Its sleek feathers were gently moving under the afternoon breeze. A dark cloud overhead threatened to bring rain, which would be fine for most people; we were safe under a warm roof but birds of its feather were vulnerable to the elements.

“I do not think that you would care for a minute about a being like me, but I too feel the same as you do. Like I said, we share your pain, we know your thoughts, all you need to do is to believe and listen.”

(The Confession)

I realized then that I was holding my breath all this time, listening as the stranger spoke.

“My mind, body and soul are not my own. I have lived my life in the shadows of others. I’ve moulded myself at the whims of those around me; my being exists for the convenience of those whom I hold dear. I am lost and I don’t know how to change.”

The bird tipped its head and looked straight into my staring eyes.

“And then what? Are you just going to continue making excuses for the rest of your days?”

Excuses? Excuses… They were not excuses. These were the reasons that had moved me when I thought there was nothing else ahead. The driving forces behind a life that was once thought forsaken. But somewhere along the line it seemed, someone else took the reins. A wall had been erected and instead of protecting what was fragile, it contained what was meant to flourish. An infallible personality, loved and accepted, all done to blend in and move with the tides.

Listening with a slightly bemused expression, the bird saw beyond the wall and into the core. It saw tears and blood, but they were empty. They were not shed from pain nor happiness, regret nor contentment.

“What is it you really want? You cannot change what has already happened, and everything that had happened, did for a reason. You cannot seek the light unless you are already in the darkness; you cannot reach for the sky, if you have not already fallen to the ground. What you are bound to is only your own reflections of what you think need to be fulfilled. No one else owns the responsibility to you. If you want to fly, set yourself free.”

A bird of far too many thoughts and far too many words. I slide the triggered catch and pulled.

It did not move.

title: perched.

question: What does the text say about the stranger?

answer: The stranger is a bird that is trapped in a trap. The bird tells the narrator that it knows about the narrator's pain and thoughts. The bird says that it can help the narrator. The bird then confesses that it is lost and doesn't know how to change. The bird tells the narrator that it wants to fly and to set itself free. The bird then dies when the narrator releases the trap.

critique: "The bird then confesses that it is lost and doesn't know how to change. The bird tells the narrator that it wants to fly and to set itself free. The bird then dies when the narrator releases the trap." - this is incorrect. The bird didn't confess anything. It already knew what the narrator was thinking and the narrator didn't die.

critique: "The bird then confesses that it is lost and doesn't know how to change." - this is incorrect. The bird didn't confess anything. They just talked about the narrator's pain, thoughts, and what the bird wanted to do.

critique: The bird helps the narrator by giving a speech. It does not die when the narrator releases the trap.

critique: The bird doesn't die when the narrator releases the trap.

critique: "The bird then confesses that it is lost and doesn't know how to change." - this is inaccurate. The bird didn't confess anything. The narrator did.

question: What does the text say about how birds talk?

answer: No answer

critique: The response misses to mention that the bird's speech is not explicitly defined, but it talks to the narrator and offers him advice.

critique: The answer should mention that the birds are talking to the narrator.
