I found that the string feature:cities xmlns:feature="http://www.tinyows.org" was the root of all evil, namely, missing trailing slash in http://www.tinyows.org namespace. Changed it to feature:cities xmlns:feature="http://www.tinyows.org/" solved the problem. Every symbol matters!
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
