text:
When Steve met Her at their usual rendez-vous coffee shop, he had no idea why she had asked him there, but he missed Her and was glad to hear from Her and therefore had agreed to meet Her. Steve didn’t honestly understand the intended purpose of the meeting until thirty minutes had passed since she had departed and he had been sitting in his car with the key in the ignition, but in the ‘off’ position. It was then that Steve realized that Cold had a very distinct smell.

Steve just wasn’t Her type of person.

Or would it be “Her’s type of person”? Steve wasn’t really quite sure about the grammatical ramifications of having a name like Her. They had been together for so long, he and Her, that he no longer thought of Her by her proper name, but instead by the name that his friends had picked up using. “Are you bringing Her?” “Is this yours or is this Her’s?” “Don’t you think about anything besides Her?” That last one was a tricky question, Steve had found, as he did think about things that weren’t Her, but mostly because of Her (Her’s?) influence. He thought about the bands she enjoyed, the movies they’d watched together, and the fact that he hated sleeping/eating/being alone, but those were all related to Her, weren’t they? If he thought of Her as “Her,” did he also have to capitalize “She”? Who thought about this kind of stuff anyways?

But that’s just the type of person Steve is.

When Steve was in 3rd grade, his class had taken a trip to the capitol. The school organizers had decided that the most cost efficient and practical way to transport the 30-some-odd kids 600 miles was to take the Ferry, which would end up being a 3 days/2 nights (one way) journey. Steve’s mom had packed him a sack that contained enough food and clothing to last the 9 days that Steve was to be gone.
The first day on the ferry, the weather was dreadful and the ferry was taking on 6 foot swells. The rocking had excited most of the children, who went out onto the deck to feel the ocean spray, but the motion simply made Steve miss his mother and he decided to curl up with his sack of loving food and clothes at 7:30pm, more than an hour and half before the other children would retire. That night, Steve vomited all over his sack, rendering the food inedible. The next day, Steve, dressed in the clothes of one of his school mates, lived off a diet of complementary saltine crackers provided by the ferry company. On the third day, Steve was feeling quite better and, with a new found sense of confidence, decided to spend all of his mother’s allotted $15 dollars at the ferry restaurant, which gained him a meal of Fruity Pebbles, chocolate milk, cherry yogurt, and 2 packages of Certs, which he promptly threw up within 10 minutes of finishing.

Because that’s the type of person that Steve is.

	Steve had never had particular difficulty getting into relationships with women, as he was genuinely interested in and interesting to other people. The biggest problem for Steve (until Her, of course) was maintaining his interest for more than a few months. The girlfriend before Her was a cute little girl, about three quarters of a foot shorter than Steve, with long, well maintained, nice smelling brown hair. They hung out for five months. They had sex twice. Steve then realized how completely incompatible they were. How could he ever spend any portion of his life with someone who was mildly religious? Or didn’t appreciate the meaningful subtleties of a composition by The Smiths? Besides, Steve had Her on his mind the whole time.

Because that’s the kind of person that Steve was.

	When Steve was still a teenager, Steve would sometimes let go of the wheel of his car and watch as he drifted towards the oncoming traffic. Steve often sat on the roof of his house, smoking cigarettes and daring himself to jump. Steve bit his nails and listened to sad lo-fi bands and cried when he drove long distances and had panic attacks at school and cursed a little bit too much and considered begging his Doctor Mother for a prescription for some sort of anti-depressant or anti-anxiety or anti-something pill or something because anything was better than what Steve felt that he was dealing with.

Because that was just the type of person that Steve was.

	Once, Steve drove 30 miles to visit his biological father. He knocked on his father’s door and, when finding no response, was surprised to learn that the door wasn’t locked at all. Immediately, Steve was returned to that ferry ride, the stench of vomit with a needy feeling and a rocking sensation. Steve found his father face down on his couch, surrounded by cans and bottles of beer. Handles of liquor. Anti-depressants and sleeping aids. There was a unhealthy looking dog tied up in the kitchen that Steve had never seen before who wouldn’t stop barking. Steve sat on the edge of the couch, checked his father’s pulse with two fingers, and then wrote a note that said:

“I love you, dad.”

Steve placed the note in his father’s hand, kissed his dad on the forehead, and left. Steve didn’t go home, though. He drove in the opposite direction until he ran out of gas.

Steve was just that type of person sometimes.

	Steve was still sitting in his car, in the middle of the winter, without the engine on. Steve wondered whether or not the salt content of tears made them freeze at a lower temperature than normal water. Do people who eat a lot of salty foods have saltier tears? What gives someone high blood pressure? Steve asked the ghost that lived in his car what type of person would consider him their type of person. As usual, the phantom didn’t respond. Steve turned on his car. He wondered whether or not he was an optimist. Would an optimist want there to be a heaven? Or would he rather rot in the ground, free for eternity? Steve supposed it really depended on what type of person they had been in their life. Steve asked the ghost whether or not his father had been an optimist. The ghost didn’t respond. Probably, thought Steve.

Answer the following question based on the above passage:

refinement: Steve had never had particular difficulty getting into relationships with women, as he was genuinely interested in and interesting to other people. The biggest problem for Steve (until Her, of course) was maintaining his interest for more than a few months.

answer: Steve is used to having problems in a relationship, and this time is no exception. While he was still a teenager, he was unfocused on what his girlfriend of five months thought of his erratic behavior.

text: There is no mention in the original text of his previous girlfriend having issues with his erratic behavior.

refinement: Steve is used to having problems in a relationship, and this time is no exception.

text: The response does not mention how women perceive Steve, which would help describe his relationships with women in general.

refinement: Steve is used to having problems in a relationship, and this time is no exception. Steve never had problems finding a relationship, to begin with. His biggest problem was maintaining his interest for more than a few months.

answer: Steve has never had a difficult time getting into relationships with women, but he's always been known to lose interest after a few months. Steve's most recent relationships have been with religious and non-religious women. When Steve thought about his mother's medical condition and the care she needed, he dreaded being alone and losing friends to death. If he kept Her at a distance, he'd be alone.

answer: Steve has never had a difficult time getting into relationships with women, but he's always been known to lose interest after a few months. Steve didn't think the relationship with his latest girlfriend would last too long. She was a cute girl about three quarters as big as he was. Being religious and not having enjoyed Steve's interests seemed incompatible with him. Moreover, he wished not to spend his time thinking about these things because "he had Her on his mind the whole time". When Steve thought about his mother's medical condition and the care she needed, he feared the latest girlfriend would drop him. He used to chase girls until he started talking to Her, She made him grow out of this behavior.

answer: Steve's relationships with women had been easy, but he couldn't maintain them for more than a few months. He had broken up with his previous girlfriend because they were incompatible. He couldn't get over his current girlfriend, Her, and he thought about her all the time. Steve had never had a girlfriend who was religious or didn't like The Smiths.

The fan moves back and forth. Looking left then right, guarding my room from the things I cannot see. The constant whirr is calming, and reassuring to my restless mind. That is what they tell me anyway. I am restless. I am confused. I am dangerous they say. So I stay in this room, because it is what is good for me. For everyone. But I don’t mind. There’s a very nice bed, and my fan. The whirr is very calming to my restless mind, I’m told.

The people here are very kind, and come to see me often. There is a child down the hall from me that is not very pleasant though. I know all the things she has done. She’s probably sitting in there planning her next act as I speak. That’s why she doesn’t get a nice room like the rest of us. Hers is darker, and there isn’t even a window. I don’t think she’s allowed visitors anymore either. The poor child.

My family, they come to see me every week. Twice a week if I am lucky. They did anyway. Not so often anymore. I always enjoyed when my mother came though. She is most beautiful. At least she was, until one day – Oh, three years ago sounds about right. I’m sorry, I just can’t keep track of time very well in this, ever so nice room. It really is very nice. Anyway, where was I? Oh, my mother! Yes!  We found her at the bottom of the stairs. Her curly, flowing blonde hair, blood streaked, casting an almost beautiful veil of sorts over her face.

“A quick blow to the head”, they said.  “There was no sign of resistance, or struggle.” And she was gone down the spiral staircase, just like that. My mother never liked that staircase.

Personal belongings falling from her bag left a trail to her body. Almost as if it were a child’s game, with a twist at the end. The killer meant for us to find her like that. I know. But no one believes me though. They all just think I’m crazy. I know it was no accident, or fluke. Lipstick and mints don’t fall in such a perfectly crafted line like by chance! This was the work of a killer. A good one at that. Leaves no evidence, but the crime in plain sight for all to find. Almost flaunting it. Proud of it even.

I’ve watched the girl leave and return unnoticed three times. Each time claiming another victim. The nice people think she is getting better, I hear them talking about letting her have a nice room soon, and maybe even letting her go. But I know! The girl does not get better in the mind she gets better at hiding the evil keeping her here! They know nothing.

When the girl left, she used a window in one of the empty rooms. We are on the first floor, so it was probably quite easy for her. It was quiet, but not so quiet that she could be heard easily, especially with the fans whirring as they so often do. She was back within the hour and ever so graciously strolled back into her room as if nothing more than a quick run to the store had just happened. Although unsuspected by others, I knew better. My thoughts were proven correct by afternoon the next day.

I was allowed out for good behavior, and improvements with my “instability” and “franticness” as the nice people call it. Consequently, I went to visit my family. That’s when we found my mother. Her beautiful blonde hair, an elegant mess over her face. Her motionless body. The trail. They crying. They betrayal. My father and sisters seldom spoke to me, or each other for nearly a year after that.

Until the girl left again.

She was barley noticeable this night, and if I hadn’t known better I would have thought it Max, our house cat, out for a midnight stroll as he so often does. Probably admiring the very nice rooms. They are painted a beautiful shade of blue. The girl does not get to enjoy this though because she does these terrible things. Slipping out the door was a simple task for her on this night. Especially when the nice people were starting to ease up on her security and restrictions. She might have been able to have a nice room soon too.

I was also trusted more. And with each passing day I found more interesting things to do with my time. One day I simply wandered about, admiring and counting all the doors and windows I could find. They are all quite beautifully made. Carved wood frames, and shiny copper hinges around every corner, all accented by lovely blue walls. I even attended Sunday services every once and a while. These were almost as calming to me as the whirr of my fan.

I went to service that morning after the girl had left, to get my mind settled and well rested. Since I was out, I did not hear the news until nearly mealtime. My father was dead, my sister told me. In synch as they always were. Its quite a spectacle to hear them speak, it truly is. I miss their voices sometimes. It was as if they were not two minds, but one. Each knowing exactly what the other’s intentions would be. Sometimes I wished I had a twin. No one ever understood me the way they seemed to understand each other.

My father was drowned in our pool. Oh, how I loved that pool. Summers of swimming and carefree fun. He never went near it though. Not once. He was always afraid of water, but had it made just for us. That’s how we knew it wasn’t an accident.
I was allowed out for the funeral.

After that I did not see the girl for a long time, and my sisters started coming to visit every week. Over the course of their visits however, they acquired a distaste for my fan, which I would never fully understand. When they were here, we spoke of the past, new events, but mostly of when I would be able to leave. It was always a topic of interest that no one seemed to know the answer to. I was calmer, oh yes. I was aware. They saw nothing wrong, and neither did the nice people. How terrible I feel for tricking them. They really are very nice.

My poor sisters were the last to go. I saw it coming. I didn’t know when, and it took me two full months to figure out how, but I could feel it.

For her grand finale of sorts, the girl had taken my fan, the fan belonging to the boy on room over, and every other she could find on her way out.

The house was burned down by morning.

I awoke to the fan moving back and forth. Looking left and then right. Guarding my room from the things I cannot see. The constant whirr is calming and reassuring to my restless mind. I am restless. I am confused. I am dangerous. So I stay in this room because it is what’s good for everyone. I have a bed, and my fan. The constant whirr is very calming to my restless mind. It’s the only way I can live in this dark room alone.

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

Why do people say the narrator is dangerous?

answer: The narrator is described as restless and confused, and the people around the narrator believe that these qualities make the narrator dangerous. It is thought that the narrator might do something rash or irrational that could harm others.

answer: She attacks people (including her family members) she perceives as threats.

text: We don't know the narrator's gender.

refinement: They attack people (including their family members) they perceives as threats.

answer: It is not known precisely why. It is also not mentioned why people label people as dangerous in mental facilities where there are no lots of niceties to make bad things happen.

answer: That isn't clear, but the narrator describes people thinking of them as crazy, unstable, and frantic.

answer: The narrator is dangerous because they are aware of a killer in their shared space and have knowledge that no one else does. The people in the mental hospital believe the narrator is "frantic" and unstable, but the narrator knows there is a murderer among them. They have been watching the murderer and have discovered evidence proving the killer's guilt.

text: I think this needs to include the fact that the narrator could be an unreliable narrator and could actually be responsible for the violence. This could be described more succinctly.

refinement: The narrator is dangerous because the people in the mental hospital believe the narrator is "frantic" and unstable, but the narrator knows there is a murderer among them. The narrator might be unreliable.

answer: The narrator is located in some sort of facility. It's not clear if it is a jail or mental hospital.

answer: The narrator is located in a room alone, isolated from the rest of the house by security measures.

text: I think it's pretty clear they are in an institution or some kind of assisted facility.

The protagonist realizes the killer's game and is saddened by the harm caused by her actions. The end leaves uncertainty as to the protagonist's future.

answer: The main character, kept in a locked room for safety, observes another girl's misdeeds and realizes she is responsible for the deaths of family members. The girl steals the main character's fan and the main character's house is subsequently burned down. The main character struggles with guilt, restlessness, and confusion.

answer:
The narrator is a serial killer. In reality, there was no girl down the hall, and the narrator hints at being a figment of a figmental mind. It seems the person down the hall was the narrator's original victim, the beautiful mother.

The narrator claims her family was killed. Another victim placed in the hospital is the narrator's father who was found in the pool.

Interpreting everything that occurred with the girl-"It all amounts to her. A good serial killer with an impeccable prey. She was smart.".

LUIS FERNANDO OCHOA (born August 16, 1968) is an American musician, composer, record producer, art producer, sound engineer, arranger and backing vocalist known for his works with artists such as Shakira, Chayanne, and Ricky Martin.[1]

Biography

Luis Fernando Ochoa was born in New Orleans, Louisiana, United States on August 16, 1968. He lived in Chicago and at age 17 arrived in Medellin. From an early age, he became used to spending whole hours stuck to the sound system in which his parents heard songs from Elvis Presley, Engelbert Humperdinck and cumbias that they received from Colombia. Although not from a family with a great musical vein, his great-grandmother did play the piano very well and it was through that instrument that he began to discover the first notes.[2]

Career

In the 70s he became a fan of rock and bands such as the Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, and in Medellín he was part of the group Nash. Later in Bogotá he joined Compañía Ilimitada, which he was linked until 1990. Back in Medellín, he was part of Dloop and Lakesis, he started making music for advertising. His career as a producer started when a BMG label executive asked him what he was doing at Lakesis and, without knowing why, he replied: “I am the producer”. Since then he started working as a producer, not only with Shakira but also with other Colombian artists like Jose Gaviria. Between 1996 and 1998 his life was between Mexico City and Los Angeles, and since 1998, when he worked with Shakira in the production of _Dónde Están los Ladrones?_ he established in Miami. “It has not been easy, in Miami it is difficult to break that outline of noises, partying”. For him, artists such as Bacilos, Polo Montañés, Juanes and Shakira have been very important because they have exposed the music made in Miami to the world and have shown that in variety is the pleasure of learning, making and listening to music.[3] Ochoa received a nomination for Producer of the Year at the 4th Annual Latin Grammy Awards.[4]

_BOOK OF BLOOD_ is a 2009 British erotic horror film directed by John Harrison and starring Jonas Armstrong, Sophie Ward, and Doug Bradley. It is based on the framing stories “The Book of Blood” and “On Jerusalem Street (A Postscript)” from Clive Barker's _Books of Blood_.

Plot

A hooded, disfigured young man is eating at a diner, being watched by a stranger. The stranger is Wyburd (Clive Russell), who has been stalking the young man, Simon (Jonas Armstrong). Wyburd convinces Simon to join him in his truck, where Simon passes out and awakens strapped to a table. Wyburd offers him a choice: a slow death, or a quick and clean death by telling the story of the Book of Blood, a series of scars and inscriptions carved on Simon from head to toe. Opting for a clean death, Simon reveals his story.

A young girl is violently raped and beaten in her bed while her parents stand outside screaming her name. An unseen force rips her face off, killing her. Several months later, paranormal professor Mary Florescu (Sophie Ward) and her partner Reg Fuller (Paul Blair) investigate the house to unlock its mysteriously murderous past. Mary encounters Simon McNeal, a seemingly clairvoyant young man to whom she develops an attraction. Simon reluctantly signs on to assist, and the three of them move in. Reg spots a terrifying ghost and dies from a fall. Mary sees Simon is attacked twice by ghosts; the second time, the ghosts carve into Simon's flesh with nails and glass shards, and Mary understands: she is the key to opening the way for the ghosts; her powers were what awakened them. She swears to the ghosts that she will tell all of their stories. The ghosts heed her words and depart, allowing Simon to survive the ordeal.

Simon reveals to Wyburd that he was from then on cursed to be the book on which the dead write while Mary wrote books and made millions off of the stories portrayed on him. As she aged, he remained the same youthful appearance, only more scarred with new stories for her to write. He admitted he couldn't take it anymore, so he fled, hence the reason Wyburd was hired to remove his skin. Wyburd, unmoved, lives up to his end of the bargain and kills Simon quickly. After placing his skin neatly into a suitcase, he waits for his payment. Blood suddenly starts pouring from the case, slowly filling the building that Wyburd is trapped in, and he drowns. Mary arrives, and is unfazed by Wyburd's body. She opens the suitcase, pulling out Simon's intact skin and smiling, as she begins to read the stories still being written upon the flesh.

title: Book of Blood

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

What does the story (in the plot section) say about human agency over their own death?

answer: The story seems to posit that when humans think they have control over a situation, they often make quick decisions based on a need to avoid what sounds the worst without thinking rationally about the pros and cons. It seems that the creators of this story are making a statement about how doing something as a selfish pursuit reaps poor results. Simon chooses the clean death and acquiesces to Wyburd, which makes Wyburd think that he has the upper hand. However, because Wyburd has too much hubris, and doesn't consider how fool-proof his plan is, Simon ultimately wins in that his blood drowns Wyburd.

text: The story doesn't say anything about human agency over their deaths.

answer: The story says that Simon has a choice between a slow death and a quick and clean death by telling the story of The Book of Blood, which contains scars and inscriptions carved onto him. He opts for a clean death and tells his story, which is that a young girl is brutally raped and murdered. Afterward, supernatural professor Mary Florescu encounters Simon and agrees to tell the stories that the ghosts who haunt the house want to be told. Through this choice, Simon becomes the book for which the ghosts write their stories, which is ultimately his only choice if he wants to have a clean death. As such, human agency is limited, as humans do not ultimately have the ability to choose their own death. They are instead sacrificial recipients of death, who must endure the burden of being the book onto which the ghosts write their stories.

answer: No answer

answer: The story implies that human agency over death is presented as an illusion; choices about whether or not to die are ultimately made by disembodied ghosts. Human beings have no choice but to submit to the ghosts' wishes if they want to avoid a painful and imminent death.

answer: No answer

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

What are some themes running throughout the movie?

answer: Books of Blood, ghosts, and troubled souls.

text: Books of blood, ghosts, and troubled souls aren't really themes. They are all horror elements though.

text: The answer omits the theme of curses.

refinement: Horror is the most prominent theme. Another is a curse. Simon is cursed to be the canvas on which ghosts write their story. Despite his attempt, he can't escape his curse.

answer: Themes in _Book of Blood_ include dark erotic horror, clairvoyance, ghosts, and fate. The plot follows the lives of a young man and paranormal professor, who encounter malicious ghosts and are destined to be the book on which they write their stories. Fate drives much of the film and many of the characters ultimately succumb to their cursed fates.

text: The plot description is not relevant.

refinement: Themes in _Book of Blood_ include dark erotic horror, clairvoyance, ghosts, and fate. Fate drives much of the film and many of the characters ultimately succumb to their cursed fates.

text: Ghosts or clairvoyance aren't really a theme.

answer: One theme is senseless violence-the girl who is savagely raped and has her face torn off is not attacked for any logical reason. Another is that the dead don't die, as evidenced by Mary, the ghosts, and the fact that Simon's blood kills Wyburd.

text: The general themes are horror and an inability to escape curses. Violence isn't a theme on its own, it's part of the horror.

refinement: Themes in _Book of Blood_ include dark erotic horror and curses. Simon's curse drives much of the film, and he can't escape it, ultimately succumbing to his cursed fate.

answer: Blood permeates the film: both Simon, who is a living ink-covered canvas and Mary, who is a character who is ostensibly walking through a ghost deal. Ghosts appear throughout the film. There is a question of the power balance between ghosts and the living. There are themes of revenge and love, duty and responsibility, atonement and choice. A yearning for power comes via a mechanism that facilitates play and control.

text: The themes of power, revenge, love, and duty aren't corroborated by the article.

refinement: Themes in _Book of Blood_ include dark erotic horror and curses. Simon's curse drives much of the film, and he can't escape it, ultimately succumbing to his cursed fate.

answer: Themes include erotic horror, supernatural elements, and a choice between a slow or quick death. The central focus is on the relationship between a young man and the paranormal professor who has the power to control ghosts, toward whom Simon is initially reluctant and falls victim to eventually. There is also an underlying thread related to writing and storytelling, with characters compelled to document the lives and deaths of others.

_By Roger Smith_

In the 1986 movie _Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home_, Scotty, the technology expert in the time-traveling starship's crew, is invited to use an Apple Macintosh, the most usable computer of the 1980s.

Puzzled, he picks up the mouse and speaks into it: "Hello, computer?"

"Just use the keyboard,” advises the computer owner. "A keyboard?" Scotty replies. "How quaint."

Nowadays, people routinely talk to the computer in their mobile phone and it talks back to them in the guise of a Microsoft Cortana, Apple Siri, or Google Now personal assistant. Software developers mainly use the Java programming language to write a single set of computer programs (or source code) that can run on all these different platforms.

Java is used for building everything from mobile phone apps to video games to enterprise IT applications. The WORA (write once, run anywhere) mantra that coders associated with the language means that it's designed to be portable and run across multiple software platforms.

There's quite a bit that goes on under the covers allowing this to happen. Once a Java developer writes a program, he or she uses different software tools, such as those found in the Java Development Kit or those supplied as part of the developer’s IDE (Integrated Development Environment), to compile that source code into a special kind of machine language known as bytecodes, which can run software known as the Java Virtual Machine or JVM.

Java got its start in the early 1990s when James Gosling from Sun Microsystems and a small team of developers known as the Green Team designed the first version of Java aimed at programming home appliances, which at the time were controlled by a wide variety of computer processors. This was the genesis of the WORA concept. In 1994, Gosling realized that such a language would be ideal for use with web browsers, which led to the 1995 release of a version of the Netscape browser that was capable of running Java programs.

BIG PLAYER IN BIG DATA

Twenty years later, Java is everywhere, including in games, smart cards, embedded systems, and robotics, and has been used to build millions of mobile, desktop, web, standalone, and enterprise applications. The language is the big player in big data, the computer technology used to computationally analyze extremely large data sets that reveal patterns, trends, and associations, especially those relating to human behavior and interactions.

.NET (pronounced dot net) is a cross-platform software environment that competes with Java.  .NET was developed in the late 1990s by Microsoft and uses its own Common Language Runtime (CLR) virtual machine. But .NET never captured developer mindshare the way that Java has. Fifteen long years after first being introduced, .NET still runs primarily on Microsoft Windows.

One of the main reasons for Java's popularity is the Java Community Process (JCP), which is the mechanism for developing standard technical specifications for Java technology. The JCP allows any Java developer to review and provide feedback for hundreds of different Java specification requests, as well as participate as a member of a Java Expert Group. Organizations and commercial entities have to pay annual membership dues to JCP, but individuals can join for free.

Thanks to the JCP, the Java language has been extensively revised to address all kinds of different programming problems.

JAVA'S EVOLUTION

At the recent JavaOne 2015 keynote, Mark Reinhold, chief architect of Oracle's Java Platform Group, explained how Java has evolved over the years by tackling pain points that Java developers complain about through the JCP. "In Java 5, we introduced new features like generics; in Java 8, we introduced lambda expressions; and in our next Java 9 release, due in 2016, we'll be introducing modularity to create a scalable and more secure platform."

He also mentioned projects currently in the works for future releases beyond Java 9, such as Valhalla and Panama, which will provide more efficient access to data and better control over data layout in computer memory to achieve higher performance, which are current pain points that big data developers face.

To illustrate the commitment to collaboration among this community, conference organizers are now seeking feedback from community members on where Java should go next, including in the Java’s Twenty Years of Innovation interactive display at the Parc 55 hotel in San Francisco. The display allows developers to attach sticky notes to request features and offer suggestions on what the future of Java will be. As _Star Trek_’s Scotty might have said, “Paper-form communications. How quaint.”

text: Java was originally for home programming appliances

refinement: The author views digital personal assistants like Microsoft Cortana, Apple Siri, and Google Now as novelties that have evolved from the Java programming language. Java was originally simply meant for home programming applications, but it is used for personal assistants because it makes programs capable of running on multiple software platforms.

text: claims not views

refinement: The author claims digital personal assistants like Microsoft Cortana, Apple Siri, and Google Now as novelties that have evolved from the Java programming language. Java was originally simply meant for home programming applications, but it is used for personal assistants because it makes programs capable of running on multiple software platforms.

answer: The author approves of them, as they bridge the gap between humans and computers. This is necessary because of the fast pace of technology and evolving human behaviors. The author emphasizes that the digital assistants are "personal assistants," not just technical tools like a calculator or encyclopedia. This implies that the digital assistants have the capability of understanding the humans who contact them, responding with information customized to their needs.

text: None of this is in the piece, which is actually about Java

refinement: The author claims personal assistants like Microsoft Cortana, Apple Siri, or Google Now work because they run on Java. Java is a programming language that allows someone to run a single program on different platforms. According to the author, this is outside of Java's intended use, but works well.

answer: The author believes that Java is used for building applications that allow people to talk to the computer; specifically, he or she views digital personal assistants as commonly being written using the Java programming language. The author sees this as a significant technological advance, believing that Java allows for the portability of programs between different platforms. Digital personal assistants have emerged to be a popular application for Java. He or she sees other programming languages competing with Java, but notes that Java's strength comes from the Java Community Process which allows Java developers to collectively address pain points in the language. In the future, the author anticipates that Java will continue to evolve to address current pain points as they arise.

The author sees this as a significant technological advance, believing that Java allows for the portability of programs between different platforms. Digital personal assistants have emerged to be a popular application for Java.

answer: The writer seems keen to expose the fact that these virtual personal assistants serve as gateways for data gathering services. Basically, because they utilize voice to identify as well as to direct you, they also funnel that information to larger companies for various purposes. The writer seems to be on board with this technology.

text: The writer does not talk about any of these things. The writer talks about java

refinement: The writer explains how personal assistants tend to run on Java because it is a programming language that can work on multiple platforms. They discuss the history of Java, and the original reasons why this is the case.

answer: The author thinks digital personal assistants are one of the coolest developments of these new-age computers. The ability to talk to the computer was unheard of in the 1980s. The author seems to be correcting Scotty's statements on the situation. The computer is supposed to talk back in the guise of the Microsoft Cortana, Apple Siri, or Google Now. The Microsoft Cortana seems to be the main one talked about, because the author describes the other two assistants as aptly generic assistants. Talking to the computer seems like a warping back to the past, but one the author fully describes its convenience.

text: It's not clear if the initial science fiction interlude was anything but a way to introduce the topic

refinement: Personal assistants like Microsoft Cortana, Apple Siri, or Google Now run on Java. The Microsoft Cortana seems to be the main one talked about, because the author describes the other two assistants as aptly generic assistants.

Sweet potato carvings of Donald Trump by artist Lauren Garfinkel. • Photo by Clay Williams

The election of reality TV host and businessman Donald J. Trump as the 45th president of the United States stunned both his supporters and opponents on Long Island, across the United States and even around the world. Early into the presidency it was obvious this would be an unprecedented era in the U.S. Yet on many Long Island farms, Trump’s presidency is being met with optimism—albeit with a side of caution.

“Fingers crossed that all will go all right,” said Fred Lee of Peconic’s Sang Lee Farms. “But I think it’s really hard to tell, the dust is still swirling about, but I’m hopeful that logic and good sense will prevail.”

And what a whirlwind. A last-minute agriculture secretary nominee announcement the day before inauguration, a Twitter war with the National Park Service that began over the crowd size at the inauguration, protesters gathering across the country the day after inauguration and then again a week later in response to a ban on refugees from several predominantly Muslim countries, mentions of climate change stripped from the White House website, the brink of a trade war with Mexico, and those are only a few of the highlights.

Much has been said and written about Trump’s support among farmers, but while many farmers share the same concerns, they don’t vote as one block, and certainly what one considers the pressing agricultural issue in California is not the same as it is in New York or even farm to farm.

Take, for instance, Trump’s nomination of Georgia Governor Sonny Perdue as secretary of agriculture.

[]

“We echo the statements of the American Farm Bureau. We think Governor Perdue will be an excellent choice. He’s good on farm experience, has run an agricultural business and understands most of the issues farmers are dealing with,” said Rob Carpenter, administrative director of the Long Island Farm Bureau.

In contrast, Lee, who runs a small family organic farm, wonders if Perdue will have any effect: “I don’t know enough about Sonny Perdue to be able to predict how his actions as secretary of agriculture will impact small family farmers like us at Sang Lee Farms. I suspect coming from a larger corporate fertilizer industry setting originally, he will probably not be environmentally oriented. Organic farms might not even show up on his radar or be of a concern to him, but of course this is just speculation.”

Still others, like Russ McCall of McCall Wines, point out that it’s hard to see how, if at all, federal policies will trickle down to farms on Long Island.

“I hope a reduction in regulations will trickle down,” McCall said.

The loosening of regulations may be the one universal hope of farmers for the Trump administration, and the regulations many feel they are drowning in may also be at the heart of why many agricultural business owners initially supported his presidency.

“You can spend years trying to figure out what you can do,” McCall said. At his vineyard he’s required to have the well water tested every month at a cost of $80 to $90 per month. “It doesn’t sound like much, but it’s an extra $1,000 a year and it forces many out of  business.”

There’s no doubt that some regulation is needed and beneficial, but it all comes at a cost.

[]

“As a small family farm we are struggling with too many government regulations now,” Lee said. “While most regulations are meant to create a safer and worker-friendly environment, which benefits everyone, it comes at a cost that is difficult for small businesses to shoulder.  This, too, is a very complicated mess. I only know that more small farm businesses will struggle with the FSMA [Food Safety Modernization Act] regulations, and the barriers to folks starting their own operations continue to be great.”

Besides overregulation, one of the biggest challenges most Long Island farms face on the federal level is about finding a qualified, affordable workforce.

“Politicians tell lots of fairy tales to get elected,” McCall said when asked about Trump’s campaign statements on immigration.

As fears over immigration policies continue to grow, McCall said he knows many farmworkers on Long Island are undocumented, buying social security cards to be able to work.

“My best advice is to be careful. Don’t get in trouble. They’ll deport people that have a felony, but I don’t think there will be ramifications beyond that,” McCall said.

As fears over immigration policies grow across the U.S., Carpenter is hoping that if anything there would be an expansion of the guest worker program and the easing of some of the red tape involved in it. He said, to use the guest worker program currently takes hours of paperwork and many have to hire an attorney to ensure everything is done properly.

“Most farmers want to be left alone,” McCall said, echoing the sentiments of many.

“Leave us alone to do what we do—to produce high-quality food.”

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

What does the article say about farming regulations?

answer: The Food Safety Modernization Act obligates states and farmers to test the quality of their water wells every month. The cost of this test isn't much, but it forces many farms to end their operations. Also, while regulations are usually instilled to ensure the safety and health of workers, farms on Long Island are complaining they're harming small business owners. Stories like these make one wonder why these laws are being put into place.

answer: Governments and federal agencies control many different aspects of agriculture. One example is water testing, which can cost a farmer $80 to $90 a month. The Food Safety Modernization Act  limiting cross-contamination and inoculation, for example insects and rodents, is a concern for farmers and adds bureaucracy. Another issue is hiring seasonal workers.

text: This response needs to be edited because it does not encompass all the details that the article discusses about farming regulations. The article states that farming regulations are needed, but at what cost is the question.

The Food Safety Modernization Act  limiting cross-contamination and inoculation, for example insects and rodents, is a concern for farmers and adds bureaucracy. While regulation is needed and considered beneficial, the question comes down to be "At what cost?".

answer: The Trump administration has been a tumultuous era for farmers and those in the agricultural business. They express hope for a reduction in regulation in the hope of lessening the burden the regulations place on their operations, but they've had to continue their operations and abide by these regulations because they are mandated by the government. Farmers don't want to leave the business but they do wish to be left alone to do what they do best: produce high-quality food.

answer: The election of Donald Trump as the 45th president of the U.S. stunned both his supporters and his opponents. Initially into the presidency, it was obvious this would be a historic era in the U.S, but candidate Trump was an unprecedented president. Long Island farmers believe the president to be a good choice, having agricultural and business experience. Even still, they are cautiously optimistic about Trump's presidency. Many candidates running on Trump's behalf promised regulatory relief and an expansion of the guest worker program.

answer: With Trump's election, Long Island farmers hoped that it would bring fresh ideas to help them. By early into his presidency, it was apparent he would bring a unique era in the US. However, his inauguration day was chaotic. Many protests exploded across the US. Trump's other controversial issues, including banning refugees and talking about climate change, also sparked the US population. Many still hope that Trump will at least reduce regulations, make life easier, and get their back regardless of political alignment.
