His seventeenth birthday was coming soon. That meant it was almost the tenth anniversary of his first day in the mine.  He was seven the first time he plunged into the darkness. The company needed small bodies that could crawl into tiny compartments and plant dynamite. The boy would do this for six years. Malfunctioning dynamite and tunnel collapses had taken most of his friends. But not him. They told him he was lucky.

On his thirteenth birthday, the boy was old enough to dig and run machinery. He would do this until he died. Many of the other workers his age were maimed or malformed from their years in the tunnels. But not him. They told him he was lucky.

The darkness followed him outside of the mineshaft. The blackness of the coal mine was permanently sunken into his clothes and skin. At night he would cough blackness out of his lungs. Black lung killed dozens every year. But not him. They told him he was lucky.

It was by chance that the boy remembered his approaching birthday. Alone in the shaft, driving his pick into the wall, lost in monotony, he happened upon the thought. At that same moment, he saw a sparkle in the ground. His lamp had given out and he was relying on natural light coming from the shaft exit just overhead. The boy leaned over and looked at the mysterious object. He had never seen a diamond before. All the same, he was hypnotized by its beauty in the blackness of the mine. He felt blessed to see such a beautiful object. Perhaps he was lucky after all.

The boy wrapped his fingers around the object and pulled it from the dirt. Suddenly, the floor gave out below him.  No one had discovered the cavern underneath the tunnel.  He didn't remember screaming as he plunged deeper into the blackness.  The boy landed on his back and felt the wind leave his lungs. He was so far from the light. He knew he would die.  But he did not despair.  As he lay on his back, staring at the small light above him, all he could do was laugh.  He never had to return to the mine again.  He was finally free. For the first time in his life, the boy felt lucky.

title: (Feedback) (<400 words) The Lucky and the Living

question:
Answer the following question based on the above passage:

Why was the boy considered lucky?

answer: The boy was considered lucky because he survived accidents that killed many of his peers. In particular, he survived falling into a cavern that was otherwise undetected. Although his life was ultimately cut short, he died knowing that he was free of the dangers of the coal mine once and for all.

text: The last sentence does not answer the question.

refinement: The boy was considered lucky because he survived accidents that killed many of his peers. In particular, he survived falling into a cavern that was otherwise undetected.

text: He did not survive falling into the cavern.

refinement: The boy was considered lucky because he survived accidents that killed many of his peers.

answer: The boy was considered lucky because he had survived long enough in the mine to reach 17 years old, despite the dangers inside the tunnels. He managed to find a diamond deep in the mine, though he fell down a cavern in the process. However, even in the face of his impending death, he did not despair. Instead, he felt lucky to be free from the darkness of the mine for the first time in his life.

text: "His seventeenth birthday was coming soon. That meant it was almost the tenth anniversary of his first day in the mine. " is evidence that he survived the mines long enough to reach the age of 17.

text: "He knew he would die. But he did not despair. " is evidence he was not afraid of death.

text: " He never had to return to the mine again. He was finally free. For the first time in his life, the boy felt lucky." is evidence he was thankful his life was over.

answer: He had not been injured in a tunnel collapse or suffered from black lung. His non-dying may be a reference to working for years in near complete darkness.

text: The answer does not make it clear he works in a mine and has survived many accidents that his fellow miners had not.

refinement: He had not been injured in a tunnel collapse or suffered from black lung, unlike his fellow miners. His non-dying may be a reference to working for years in near complete darkness.

answer: He was claiming he was fortunate because the mine had been dangerous and he did not seem to have mind or body damage from this.

text: He was not claiming he was fortunate, everyone else was saying he was but he felt different.

refinement: Everyone claimed he was fortunate because the mine had been dangerous and he did not seem to have mind or body damage from this.

text: The passage does not say that surviving these accidents did not give him mental trauma. Claiming he has "no mind damage from this" would be false.

refinement: Everyone claimed he was fortunate because the mine had been dangerous and he did not seem to have body damage from this.

answer: He was the only miner who did not die from tunnel collapses, from black lung nor malformations.

question:
Answer the following question based on the above passage:

How did the boy die?

answer: Presumably, when the floor below his gave out and plunged deeper into the blackness.

text: The answer does not refer to the mines.

refinement: Presumably, when the floor below his gave out while he was mining and plunged deeper into the blackness.

answer: He was overcome with blackness in a mine tunnel and fell into a hole. He landed on his back and never reached for the light.

answer: The boy died when the floor of the tunnel gave out and he fell into a mysterious cavern. He wasn't fearful of death; he only felt lucky for finally being free from the mine.

answer: The cave collapsed on him.

answer: The boy died after falling into a previously unknown cavern, deeper into the mine shaft.

question:
Answer the following question based on the above passage:

When did the boy finally feel lucky?

answer: When he landed in the cavern miles from the surface, a light still above him and the boy laughed.

text: This is not the right answer. The boy felt lucky when he realized he was finally dying.

refinement: When he landed in the cavern miles from the surface, a light still above him and the boy laughed, grateful that it was finally his turn to die and be free from the mines.

answer: The boy finally felt lucky when he found a diamond and fell into a cavern below the mine. Until then, he thought he was merely lucky not to be injured or killed in the mine, but the discovery of the diamond changed his perspective. It showed him that luck had played a more important role in keeping him alive than he had previously understood. He finally felt lucky because his life was changing for the better and he was finally free.

text: This answer is wrong. The boy felt lucky now that it was his turn to die and be free from the mines.

refinement: The boy finally felt lucky when he found a diamond and fell into a cavern below the mine. Until then, he thought he was merely lucky not to be injured or killed in the mine, but as he was plummeting to his death, he felt grateful that it was finally his turn to be free from the mines.

answer: The boy feels lucky when he happens upon the diamond, but realizes that the floor gave out under him. He soon finds himself trapped far away from the light. However, this experience makes him feel lucky, as he is finally free of the darkness and horrors of the mine.

text: The answer doesn't quite directly imply that the boy is grateful to finally die.

refinement: The boy feels lucky when he happens upon the diamond, but realizes that the floor gave out under him. He soon finds himself trapped far away from the light, slowly losing his breath. However, this experience makes him feel lucky, as he is finally free of the darkness and horrors of the mine.

answer: He felt blessed when he found a diamond for the first time.

text: He felt lucky it was finally his turn to die and be free from the mines.

refinement: He felt blessed as he was plummeting to his death, realizing he was finally going to be free of the mines.

answer: He began to laugh as he lay on the floor of the mine, relieved after feeling lucky for the first time in his life - he would be able to avoid returning to the mine again.

text: The answer does not make it clear that the boy is dying.

refinement: He began to laugh as he lay on the floor of the mine slowly losing consciousness, relieved after feeling lucky for the first time in his life - he would be able to avoid returning to the mine again.

question:
Answer the following question based on the above passage:

When did the boy die?

answer: Presumably before his 17th birthday, almost 10 years after his first day in the mine.

text: "His seventeenth birthday was coming soon. That meant it was almost the tenth anniversary of his first day in the mine." is evidence that he was around the age of 17 when he died.

answer: The boy died when the floor collapsed, sending him further into the darkness.

text: This does not answer the question.

refinement: The boy died around the tenth anniversary of his first day in the mine, at the age of 17.

answer: Unclear.

answer: The boy died when he fell into the hidden cavern beneath the tunnel.

text: This does not answer the question.

refinement: The boy died around the tenth anniversary of his first day in the mine, at the age of 17.

answer: After he takes a break from the mine.

text: This is untrue. He does not take a break from the mines. This also does not answer the question.

refinement: The boy died around the tenth anniversary of his first day in the mine, at the age of 17.

question: Write a ~6 sentence summary.

answer: The boy was only seven years old when he first plunged into the darkness of the mine. The company needed small bodies that could crawl into tiny spaces and plant dynamite. He was considered lucky since most other miners died of tunnel collapses, black lung or malformations. It wasn't until the floor below the boy gave out, plunging deeper into the darkness that he felt lucky. He wouldn't have to return to the mine again, as he would die. He felt free.

answer:
The boy's seventeenth birthday was coming soon. He thought back to his first day in the mine at the age of seven. The tunnels in the mine caused so many injuries to young workers, but not himself. He was told he was lucky.
He saw something glitter from the mine wall. There was a cavern beneath him. He was in the shaft when the shaft below him gave in and he fell into the black tunnel. He simply laughed and fell to his death.

text: The ending of the story isn't clear in this answer. It should describe the boy's feelings about death.

answer:
It is the boy's thirteenth birthday. It is the tenth anniversary of his first day in a coal mine.

He's working beneath the ground setting explosives when he sees a sparkle on the ground. He sees a beautiful diamond. The ground gives way underneath him and he falls into a cavern, dying rapidly. Ultimately, though, he's happy because he knows he won't have to go back into the mines again.

The cave collapses under him and he falls on his back, losing consciousness as he lay there. But before death comes, he realizes how lucky he truly is now that he knows it was his turn to die and be free from the mines.

answer: The boy was lucky to survive his time working in a mine for the last several years. But his luck changed when he fell into a cavern on his seventeenth birthday. It turned out to be fortunate as he found a diamond and was freed from the life in the mines he had always hated.

text: This is not a six-sentence summary and also does not explain why the boy felt freed from the mines.

The COMMUNITY OF PROTESTANT CHURCHES IN EUROPE (CPCE, also GEKE for _Gemeinschaft Evangelischer Kirchen in Europa_) is a fellowship of over 100 Protestant churches which have signed the Leuenberg Agreement. Together they strive for realizing church fellowship, especially by cooperation in witness and service to the world. Prior to 2003 the CPCE was known as the “Leuenberg Church Fellowship”.

In membership are most Lutheran and Reformed churches in Europe, the United churches that originated from mergers of those churches, and such pre-Reformation churches as the Waldensians. The European Methodist churches joined the CPCE by a common declaration of church fellowship in 1997.

The General Secretary of the CPCE is the Reverend Dr Mario Fischer. The Community's offices are located in Vienna, Austria, and are shared with those of the Evangelical Church of the Augsburg Confession in Austria.

History

In 1973, major European Lutheran and Reformed churches met at the Swiss conference centre Leuenberg (near Basel) and signed the LEUENBERG AGREEMENT or LEUENBERG CONCORD, an ecumenical document declaring unity through Jesus Christ.[1] Under this agreement the churches agree on a common understanding of the Gospel, including elementary agreement on important doctrines including christology,[2] predestination,[3] Eucharist[4] and justification.[5] They declare church fellowship, understood as pulpit and table fellowship as well as full communion in witness and service.

The churches involved were originally joined in an organization called the “Leuenberg Church Fellowship”. In 2003 this was renamed the “Community of Protestant Churches in Europe” as a sign of growing beyond the Lutheran and Reformed traditions,[6] and now includes several Methodist churches. Since then, the CPEC has started ecumenical dialogue with Anglican,[7] Baptist,[8] and Orthodox[9] churches.

In 2006, the CPCE published a statute of church constitution,[10] and in 2011 published new guidelines for churches wishing to join.[11] This declaration made clear that “churches wishing to join recognize the ordination and ministry of women ministers in other CPCE churches”.[12]

His grandfather migrated to Norway from Switzerland in the late eighteenth century, and founded the family company Thos. Joh. Heftye & Søn.[6] Heftye grew up at Filipstad. He took his secondary education at Oslo Cathedral School and his higher education mainly in Leipzig. He entered the family company in 1848.[7]

Heftye was heavily involved in the organizational life of the time. He co-founded the Norwegian Trekking Association in 1868. He owned the rural areas Sarabråten, Frognerseteren and Tryvannshøyden. Already in his lifetime these were opened as recreational areas; the two latter areas later became publicly owned. He was also a member of the board of Akers Sparebank from 1873 to his death, and also of Norges Forsvarsforening, Christiania Theatre, the Society for the Preservation of Ancient Norwegian Monuments and Christiania Kunstforening. He was a known patron of the arts, and financed the publication of the diaries of Claus Pavels. He also financed writers and artists such as Aasmund Olavson Vinje, Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson, Hans Gude and P. A. Munch.[8]

He was also involved in politics. He was a member of Christiania city council from 1855 to 1856 and 1879 to 1886, and of Aker municipal council from 1869 to 1877. During the term 1880–1882 he served as a deputy representative to the Norwegian Parliament. The reason why he changed from Aker to Christiania after 1877 was that Frogner, where he lived, was incorporated into the city in 1878.[9] His villa is now used as the embassy of the United Kingdom.

Heftye was decorated as a Knight of the Swedish Order of the Polar Star in 1860, the Royal Norwegian Order of St. Olav in 1864, the Danish Order of the Dannebrog in 1866 and the French Légion d'honneur in 1867. He was also a Commander of the Austrian Order of Franz Joseph from 1867 and of the Swedish Order of Vasa in 1877. He died in October 1886 in Kristiania.[10] A memorial stone was raised for him at Midtstuen, and the road _Thomas Heftyes gate_ in Frogner, Oslo has been named after him.[11]

The eruption of community protests that followed the killings of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile last week placed the spotlight once again on racial disparities in American society. But one aspect that again received less attention than it deserved is economic disparity. That’s important because it’s pervasive in the U.S. and arguably lies at the core of our racial conflicts.

Progressive economist Jared Bernstein put his finger on the issue, observing that “the systemic racial injustice embedded in the economy” is among the “institutional prejudices” America needs to consider deeply.

I examined this issue after the Ferguson outrage of 2014, noting the persistent economic harassment that afflicted the residents of that city — racial profiling leading to a proliferation of nuisance fines and court fees that would grow exponentially. As a local legal-aid organization documented, clients were “jailed for the inability to pay fines, losing jobs and housing as a result of the incarceration, being refused access to the Courts if they were with their children or other family members.”

  If public policy successfully eliminated racial disparities in homeownership rates...the wealth gap between Black and White households would shrink 31 percent.

Thomas Shapiro et al, Brandeis University

But there’s more to it than that. Black unemployment is consistently higher than the white rate, black homeownership rates consistently lower. In virtually every economic metric, black households are mired behind white households. The further behind they fall, the harder it becomes to get a leg on the income ladder and to keep climbing.

[Black and white unemployment rates move in lockstep, but the black rate is consistently double the white rate, keeping the ratio steady.]

(BLS, via Jared Bernstein )

As Bernstein and Valerie Wilson of the Economic Policy Institute also observed, black unemployment is more volatile than that of whites — it rises faster in slack times and falls faster as the economy moves toward full employment: “Between 1979 and 2014, the average annual black unemployment rate changed by 1.7 percentage points for every 1-percentage-point change in the national unemployment rate,” Wilson wrote. Real wage growth for black households will also grow faster than in white households, albeit marginally.

One disquieting finding is that black unemployment exceeds white unemployment across all levels of educational achievement. The disparity shrinks as educational attainment rises — it’s largest for those without a high school diploma and smallest for those with college degrees — but it never goes away. The average unemployment rate in 2015 for blacks with a college degree (4.1%), was higher than the rate for whites who had not completed college (4.0%).

[Black unemployment exceeds that of whites across all educational levels.]

(Valerie Wilson, EPI )

Indeed, college graduates are the only black workers with lower unemployment than the national average; whites with no high school diploma are the only whites whose average unemployment rate exceeds the national average. “Persistent disparities in unemployment are constant reminders of how race continues to have an undue influence on life in this country,” Wilson has written.

These are arguments in favor of placing full employment at the forefront of policy goals, Wilson says. That means keeping interest rates low, despite pressure on the Federal Reserve “from monetary hawks to raise short-term interest rates as a guard against price and wage inflation.”

Income disparities are just the tip of the iceberg in racial economic injustice. The racial gap in wealth is even greater.

[Blacks and Latinos have fallen further behind white households in net worth since the recession]
Blacks and Latinos have fallen further behind white households in net worth since the recession

(Pew Research Center )

The Pew Research Center found in 2014 that the wealth of white households had reached 13 times the median wealth of black households, compared with eight times the wealth in 2010. That was the largest gap since 1989, when it was 17-to-1. The gap between white and Latino households was smaller, but still significant. Pew’s study showed that white household net worth had held steady after the recession, while that of black households continued a slide dating back to 2004. Latino family net worth peaked in 2007 and has declined since then.

Underlying this gap in wealth is a gap in homeownership, according to Thomas Shapiro and colleagues at Brandeis University’s Institute on Assets and Social Policy. They determined that the racial gap in median net worth tripled from 1984 to 2009, expanding to $236,000 from $85,000. Much of the difference was home equity, which gave home-owning families a leg up in helping relatives with down payments, lowering the cost of borrowing and improving access to credit, Shapiro found. And though some of these advantages were eroded by the housing crash, many long-term homeowners were still able to weather the storm better than renters.

The divergence in home ownership rates was stark, Shapiro’s team found using 2011 figures: About 73% of white households owned their homes, compared with only 45% among black households and 47% among Latinos.

[If black and Latino homeownership rates matched whites,' they would experience a huge increase in household net worth.]
If black and Latino homeownership rates matched whites,’ they would experience a huge increase in household net worth.

(Thomas Shapiro, Demos )

Had homeownership rates merely matched each other, black household net worth would be 450% higher and Latino wealth 350% higher. “If public policy successfully eliminated racial disparities in homeownership rates,” Shapiro and his colleagues observed, “median Black wealth would grow $32,113 and the wealth gap between Black and White households would shrink 31 percent.”

Reducing the homeownership and thereby the wealth gap can be done, but requires aggressive federal policies. Among those spotlighted by Shapiro are strict enforcement of housing anti-discrimination laws; segregation limits the value gains in homes in black neighborhoods, while black and Latino families still face obstacles to moving into predominantly white areas. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac should be encouraged to reduce principal and make other modifications to homeowners struggling with mortgage burdens in the wake of the housing crash; black and Latino families would be beneficiaries of such policies, which would help them preserve their home equity.

The most important step for Americans in coming to grips with the nation’s racial heritage is recognizing that its social aspects are intertwined with its economics. As long as we fail to recognize the profound obstacles confronting black and Latino Americans in finding jobs and accumulating wealth, the social disparities will never disappear.

answer: The article states that by the 1980s, the developers figured out this new monetization model. They became tech companies and started selling direct to the end users.

text: The response is incorrect because there is no information available.

answer: The 2014 wealth gap between black and white households was the largest it had been since 1989, when it was 17-to-1. The racial gap in median net worth also tripled from 1984 to 2009. In 1989, the net worth gap was $85,000.

text: Remove all references that are not related to the 1980s.

refinement: The wealth gap of white and black households in 1989 was 17-to-1. The median net worth was $85,000 in 1984.

answer: The 1980s had higher rates of unemployment for black households than for white households, with a disparity in homeownership rates that created a larger gap in wealth. Higher home ownership rates for white families led to a gap in net worth of 450% for black households and 350% for Latino households. Policies to improve home ownership rates and thereby help narrow the wealth gap include strict enforcement of anti-discrimination laws, encouraging Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to offer modifications to distressed homeowners, and creating an overall environment in which minority home ownership is encouraged.

text: The response is incorrect because there was no mention of the 1980s anywhere except for two dates.

refinement: The wealth gap of white and black households in 1989 was 17-to-1. The median net worth was $85,000 in 1984.

answer: The economic gap between black and white households tripled from 1984 to 2009.

text: Missing the data from 1989.

refinement: The economic gap between black and white households in 1989 was 17-to-1. The median net worth was $85,000 in 1984.

answer: From the 1980s onward, black Americans experience persistently higher unemployment rates than white Americans. This results in a disparity in wealth between black and white households, with white households possessing 13 times the median wealth of black households. Blacks also experience a significant gap in home ownership compared with white Americans. If black and Latino homeownership rates matched that of whites, black household net worth would be 450% higher and Latino wealth 350% higher. Policies that address these racial economic disparities are necessary to improve economic outcomes for black and Latino Americans.

refinement: The wealth gap between black and white households in 1989 was 17-to-1. The median net worth was $85,000 in 1984.

question:
Answer the following question based on the above passage:

Summarize everything relating to Latinos.

answer: The Pew Research Center found that compared with white households, Latino households experience lower rates of homeownership. The net worth of Latino households is also lower than that of white households, in large part due to lower rates of homeownership. The most important way to address this is through policies that increase homeownership among marginalized communities.

answer: According to Pew Research Center, Hispanic family net worth peaked at in 2007, and has declined since then. Also, black and Latino households have fallen further behind white households during the recession. Thomas Shapiro and colleagues at Brandeis University’s Institute on Assets and Social Policy have discovered that black and Latino homeownership rates are significantly lower than whites rates. Their findings found that the wealth gap between Hispanic and white households is smaller than the gap between black and white households.

refinement: According to Pew Research Center, Hispanic family net worth peaked in 2007 and has declined since then. Also, black and Latino households have fallen further behind white households during the recession. Thomas Shapiro and colleagues at Brandeis University’s Institute on Assets and Social Policy have discovered that black and Latino homeownership rates are significantly lower than whites rates. Their findings found that the wealth gap between Hispanic and white households is smaller than the gap between black and white households.

answer: Statistically, Latinos have lower homeownership rates than whites; their wealth is less due to persistent disparities in unemployment, even among those with college degrees. Additionally, Latinos experience greater asset disparities than whites due to lower rates of homeownership. Policies that address segregation as well as components of financial stability like homeownership would help close this gap.

Additionally, Latinos experience greater asset disparities than whites due to lower rates of homeownership. Policies that address segregation, as well as components of financial stability like homeownership, would help close this gap.

answer: The median wealth of white households was found to have reached thirteen times the median wealth of black households in 2014, far greater than the ratio in 2010. In 2015, the average unemployment rate for blacks with a college degree (4.1%) was higher than the rate for whites who had not completed college (4.0%), which is much greater than the national average. Black unemployment rates are highest than white rates across all levels of education. In contrast to black and white unemployment rates, Latino unemployment rates vary much more, but they are higher than the national average, with the rate bouncing between 6-8% through the years.

refinement: Latino unemployment rates vary much more, but they are higher than the national average, with the rate bouncing between 6-8% through the years.

answer: Both Blacks and Latinos have fallen further behind white households in net worth since the recession. The gap between white and Latino households is smaller than the gap between white and Black households. Latino family net worth has been on decline since peaking in 2007. Home ownership among Latinos was at 47% in 2011. If their homeownership rates matches that of white families, Latino wealth would be 350% higher.

question:
Answer the following question based on the above passage:

What does the article say about addressing the root of racial conflicts?

answer: The article suggests economic disparity lies at the core of racial conflicts. If public policy eliminated racial disparities in homeownership rates, the wealth gap between Black and white households would shrink 31 percent. If Black and Latino homeownershp rates matches whites', their household networth would be 450% higher and 350% higher respectively. Without addressing economic obstacles facing Black and Latino Americans, social disparities will never disappear.

Without addressing economic obstacles facing Black and Latino Americans, social disparities will never disappear.

text:
"matches" - change to "match"
"networth" - change to "net worth"

refinement: The article suggests economic disparity lies at the core of racial conflicts. If public policy eliminated racial disparities in homeownership rates, the wealth gap between Black and white households would shrink 31 percent. If Black and Latino homeownership rates match whites', their household net worth would be 450% higher and 350% higher respectively. Without addressing economic obstacles facing Black and Latino Americans, social disparities will never disappear.

answer: The article believes that addressing the root of racial conflicts is primarily about addressing economic disparity. This disparity exists in every economic metric, starting with unemployment and extending to home ownership. In addition, if black and Latino homeownership rates matched those of whites, the wealth disparity between white and black households would shrink significantly. Therefore, in order to reduce racial conflicts, policies need to focus primarily on narrowing the economic gap between races.

answer: Blacks are disadvantaged in every aspect of life when it comes to economic prosperity. Blacks also experience higher unemployment rates in every measures. However, whites tend to do better in virtually every endeavor. This means that when it comes to racial disparities, the government needs to enforce strict policies to bridge that gap

refinement: Blacks are disadvantaged in every aspect of life when it comes to economic prosperity. Blacks also experience higher unemployment rates in every measure. However, whites tend to do better in virtually every endeavor. This means that when it comes to racial disparities, the government needs to enforce strict policies to bridge that gap

text: The response needs to be edited to show the real root of racial conflicts and how to address it.

refinement: Economic disparity is the root of all racial conflicts. The government needs to enforce strict policies to bridge the wealth gap between Black and White households, especially in homeownership rates. If this is accomplished, the wealth gap between Black and White households would shrink 31 percent.

answer: Studies have been conducted to show that attempts to solve racial conflict by only addressing its visible external manifestations (such as police deaths) will not be successful. One example is a study conducted after the Ferguson outrage, in which racial profiling and fines printed black people in the city was studied. The study concluded that jail for the inability to pay fines, losing jobs and housing as a result of incarceration, and being refused access to the court with your children or family members was many black people became targets of economic harassment in the corrupt legal system. Issues like these are very common in places where racial disparity is vast, and they surface in most lawsuits against police brutality. Untangling the root cause of the issue is a better way to address racial conflict.

text: The response didn't answer the question and needs a full rewrite.

refinement: Economic disparity is pervasive in the U.S. and arguably lies at the core of all racial conflicts. Systemic racial injustice is embedded in the economy and these institutional prejudices must be addressed so that the wealth gap between Black and White households can be shortened. If public policy successfully eliminated racial disparities in homeownership rates, for instance, the wealth gap between Black and White households would shrink by 31 percent.

answer: The article says that addressing the root of racial conflicts must involve strengthening policies aimed at full employment as well as aiming to close the gap between white and black homeownership rates. Policies aimed at achieving these goals would help improve the economic standing for both black and Latino American households who continue to experience less household wealth than white households.

__ Austin

Downtown visitors and residents will no longer have to rely on street smarts or commerce to find relief in that area of town. On Thursday, City Council approved a resolution that will usher in the city’s first public restrooms, though they will be temporary for the time being.

The resolution, which will lead to two temporary facilities downtown, passed in a vote of 8-2-1, with Council members Don Zimmerman and Ellen Troxclair voting in opposition and Council Member Sheri Gallo abstaining.

Zimmerman made it clear that the plans for the test toilets were a bit too grandiose for his tastes. He made an unsupported motion to reduce the number of restroom facilities from two to one. He also expressed disbelief at the cost of the program — $272,000 total for a year’s worth of rental costs, cleaning and an attendant.

“The toilet is going to be staffed?” asked Zimmerman. He was told that yes, that would be the case.

Mayor Pro Tem Kathie Tovo vigorously defended the temporary model, which will allow the city to test different locations around town before committing to what will ultimately be a permanent public bathroom downtown.

Gallo inquired whether the city had asked the Downtown Austin Alliance to pay for the cost of the restrooms, saying she was a “proponent of looking for partners to help fund” programs. She pointed out that the DAA does collect fees from downtown residents and said she would be uncomfortable with the city funding the program until that alternative was investigated. Gallo also suggested that the city could use hotel occupancy taxes to fund the facilities but was told that the program would not qualify for use of those funds.

“It’s a good idea. But I don’t know, necessarily, whether it’s a city responsibility,” said Gallo. “I support the idea, I just think the funding source should be considered.”

In response, Tovo noted that this was the second resolution on the topic but the first time the funding suggestion had been made. She said that it was not in the DAA budget and, moreover, that it was entirely appropriate for the city to fund the program.

“It has become a public health issue in the downtown area. It is impacting the quality of the water in our creeks. It is impacting the quality of the experience our visitors are speaking about when they come to the city of Austin,” said Tovo. “And I would argue it is not just a matter of public health, it is one of human dignity. Unfortunately, we have individuals who are living on the streets of our downtown, and they have no options other than to relieve themselves on the streets of our downtown.”

Council Member Ora Houston pointed out that the issue also extended to the elderly as well as downtown visitors who have children.

Tovo said that she would support future discussion about funding options for the permanent facilities, which will be modeled after the Portland Loo program in Oregon.

Key Players & Topics In This Article

AUSTIN CITY COUNCIL: The Austin City Council is the body with legislative purview over the City of Austin. It offers policy direction, while the office of the City Manager implements administrative actions based on those policies. Until 2012, the body contained seven members, including the city's Mayor, all elected at-large. In 2012, City of Austin residents voted to change that system and now 10 members of the Council are elected based on geographic districts. The Mayor continues to be elected at-large.

CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT: A zoning designation that describes the business district of downtown Austin.

HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES DEPARTMENT: This city department promotes community health through programs like WIC, maternal and child health, birth and death certificates, restaurant inspections, and grants administration.

question:
Answer the following question based on the above passage:

What did city council approve in Austin, Texas?

answer: Council approved a resolution that will initiate two temporary restrooms in the central business district of downtown Austin. The funds to support this program are being offset by the city.

answer: The city council voted to approve temporary facilities for public restrooms in downtown Austin. These facilities are intended to be a test run before committing to a more permanent set of restrooms.

answer: In a vote of 8-2-1, City Council approved a resolution that will bring a city's first public restrooms downtown.

answer: A resolution for two "temporary" public bathrooms in downtown Austin near the Central Business District for the time being.

answer: On Thursday, June 23rd of 2016, Austin City Council voted to approve a resolution to install public restrooms in the city's downtown area. The vote intended to allow citizens in the downtown area access to more available restrooms instead of using stores, which often make you purchase something to use their facilities, or the streets themselves. The vote passed 8-2-1, with Council members Don Zimmerman and Ellen Troxclair opposed, and Sheri Gallo abstaining.

question:
Answer the following question based on the above passage:

Why did Zimmerman vote to oppose the two test rest areas?

answer: Because he believed that a total of two facilities was excessive for mere testing;$272,000 for a year's worth of rental costs, cleaning, and an attendant seemed too expensive to him.

answer: Zimmerman opposed the two test rest areas because he felt they did not represent a necessary expense and questioned whether a staff member would be needed to accompany each restroom. He believes the city should investigate options for partner funding before committing to the program.

answer: He was against the cost of staff and cleaning, as well as the number of facilities.

text: This should be a bit more specific-according to the article, he's not opposed to the rest areas period. He doesn't think there is a need for two.

refinement: He was against the cost of staff and cleaning, as well as the number of facilities. He thinks the test toilets are too extravagant.

answer: Zimmerman opposes the two test rest areas because he thinks the initiative is grandiose, overpriced, and believes the city should not be responsible for funding the program. Zimmerman was also concerned about continuing to ensure that the funds are appropriately sourced.

answer: Zimmerman believed the costs of the facilities in addition to a year's worth of upkeep (rental costs, cleaning, and the attendant) was too grandiose. He expressed special surprise to the inclusion of the attendant in the plan.

question:
Answer the following question based on the above passage:

What were Gallo's grounds for abstaining?

answer: Gallo abstained because she was uncomfortable with the city funding the downtown temporary restrooms and she was unsure whether it should be the city's responsibility. Ultimately, she supported the idea but advocated for further discussion around funding possibilities.

answer: Not enough information

text: There is information.

refinement: Gallo wants the Downtown Austin Alliance to pay for the test restrooms.

answer: Gallo didn't appreciate the fact that the source of funding wasn't being considered thoroughly and new sources have been ruled out. She suggested in addition to using hotel occupancy tax and DAA funds, which would nit be eligible.

answer: Gallo abstained from voting because she felt the City's proposed temporary restroom program was not a city responsibility and she felt funding should be explored further. Gallo was concerned that the program not qualify for use of hotel occupancy taxes and that it was a matter of human dignity.

answer: Gallo was hesitant due to worries about where the money would come from. The Downtown Austin Alliance for instance, which collects fees from downtown residents was her first suggestion for where to look for partnership in helping to fund the operation. Until this alternative was explored, she would not be comfortable voting in favor.

question:
Answer the following question based on the above passage:

What was Mayor Pro Tem Kathie Tovo's argument in defense of the motion?

answer: Tovo vigorously defended the temporary model, arguing that the city would be able to test different locations around town before committing to what would ultimately be permanent decision.

answer: Tovo emphasized that this was the first time the funding suggestion had been raised despite it being the second resolution on the topic. She furthermore emphasized the public health issues, how without available restrooms for downtown visitors and people who live on the streets of the downtown area, the quality of water in the creeks has suffered. Furthermore, the reputation of the quality of downtown Austin suffers tremendously because of this issue.

answer: She stated that the plan was good not only as a current solution but also as a potential permanent solution, so it was ok to go ahead and spend the money now and look for further funding options in the future rather than not get it at all. At least with the pilot program, there will be a solution for a few people, the elderly and stay-at-home parents included, who didn't really have anywhere to go to use the restroom. Mayor Pro Tovo also pointed to a public health issue at the time, which was causing the city's water to become subpar quality, as well as impacting the tourism experience more and more.

answer: Tovo's argument was that the temporary public restrooms would allow the City of Austin to test different locations and figure out the most effective permanent solution to the downtown area's public health crisis. She believes that they are necessary to the quality of the experience for visitors and is fundamentally a matter of human dignity.

answer: Tovo defended the temporary nature of the program, saying it would allow the city to test different locations and ultimately decide on a permanent public restroom downtown before committing to the cost. She argued that it was a public health issue given the impact on freshwater quality and the experience of visitors in Austin. Tovo also argued that the issue extended to the elderly and those with children.

I wrote this for my English 12 class, feedback/suggestions would be great. :)

*Red*

The morning light shines through my window, hitting my face, bringing me back into consciousness. I throw off my duvet, and note the absence of my cat from the bed. I need to let him outside, he tends to get stir crazy. I have my fuzzy robe on within a minute, and after making my bed, I head towards the bathroom.

Brush teeth, wash face, comb hair. The morning routine has been drilled into my head for ages. But I like it that way. Orderly.  Routine. I start to make my way back to my bedroom, pausing at the first doorway on my left. It's the twins' room. The door was wide open, but my cat wasn't inside. A bunk bed is in the corner, the top with a bright pink blanket, the bottom with a baby blue one. Toys scattered the floor, a half-full glass of dark red juice sitting on the bedside table. I pick up the worn, stuffed rabbit from the carpet, feeling the threads - they barely holding it together. It was once my toy, but it was given my sister. No one ever asked me if I was okay with that, they just assumed I was finished with such childish things. I never liked the rabbit much anyway, toys seem like a waste of time; but I put the rabbit in the big pocket on the front of my robe.  I walk over to the dresser, running my finger along the edge of it, gazing at my reflection in the mirror on the wall. My dark hair falls just past my shoulders, contrasting the pale skin and light green eyes I inherited from my mother. I have always liked being pale; it makes me feel like a ghost. Like I can be invisible.

I softly close the door behind me as I exit the room, making my way to the next one. I really need to find my cat.

My eldest brother's room is even more messy than the twins'. Clothes and books and magazines and pens and CDs and game controllers and posters everywhere. They covered the now barely visible laminate, futon bed, and red walls - like a collage of my brother and everything he is. The CDs he had bought at a yard sale last weekend lay piled beside the bed. I pick up one of them, the edge of the case was cracked, but the album art was pretty. Abstract and complex. A picture had been thrown to the ground, ripped in two. My brother had recently been broken up with, and seemed very distraught over it. I don't understand his emotions. Why would he feel sad about someone who didn't want him anyway? His face looks happy in the photo. I always wonder what people are really thinking in photographs. Are they really happy? Or are they faking it?

I slam his door as I leave, it had been difficult to close ever since him and my father had been playfully wrestling and broke through it. I remember it sounded like a gunshot, or at least what I thought a gunshot sounded like at the time. So loud and out of place.

The next door was to my parent's room; maybe the cat is hiding in there. My mother tries to keep it orderly, the effort is evident. Clothes folded, but never put away. A small garbage can in the corner, but it hadn't been changed in so long it had begun to overflow. Both of my parents work nine to five jobs and have four children to raise - so keeping a neat room was not a priority. I lay down on the their cozy, king-sized bed, with its deep red comforter and silky white sheets. I could smell my mother's favourite perfume and my father's aftershave that my brother had bought for his birthday. Amateur hand-drawn pictures by my siblings lined the walls, maybe to remind the two that they had something to get up for in the morning. My mother's jewelry lay scattered on her vanity, her beautiful white gold bracelet with little diamonds embedded was right on the edge. She has always told me I could have it someday. I hope that day is soon. I enter the hall and slowly close the door to the room, to avoid that irritating creaking sound it makes sometimes.

I wonder if the cat has gone back to my room.

As I enter, I feel the breeze come in from the open window, blowing my hair behind me. Most of my room is white, the colour always looks neat. I gaze around at my books, all ordered alphabetically. At the bedside table, where my alarm clock and lamp are placed flawlessly parallel to each other. At the closet, where the transparent curtain covering it revealed the neatly hung clothes within. At the desk, where not a single thing is out of place. Perfection.

Hunger hits me suddenly; I should go join my family downstairs. I hang a sharp right outside my door and descend down the staircase, towards the kitchen. I ignore the sticky wetness under my feet as I put some bread in the toaster. The cat was sitting on the counter, looking at me. Almost glaring. How long has he been down here? I wonder why he didn't sleep in my room last night. I cast open the window over the sink, so he can go outside.

I stare out at the cloudy sky through the now open window; an airplane speeds across, and a flock of birds land in a nearby tree. Sometimes, I feel like I'm a bird - floating through life, often with no direction, no feeling. The popping toast breaks the perfect silence that had fallen over my house. I eat it plain, my hunger wouldn't allow for any more delay. I finish the toast, and sigh, my stomach finally satisfied. I feel content.

I turn around, away from the counter and towards my family.

Red smears the walls, the cupboards, the counters, the floors. And the five bodies on the floor. Their unseeing faces and clothes and skin all covered with that ruby red substance. Some dishes and cutlery lay scattered with them, knocked down in the struggle. The colour coats the fallen items and people, blending them all together. Red. So much red.

A scream pierces the air, breaking that beautiful silence once more. A look of horror on our neighbour's face as she walks into the kitchen; I forgot she was coming by to pick up her casserole dish. Maybe she can help me clean up; this is quite a mess. I sit down in the crimson and run my fingers through it as she sobs into the telephone, summoning emergency services. I don't see what the emergency is - there's no saving those who are gone.
