    Red Ribbon

    	Each blink is more difficult and it takes me just a bit more effort to open my eyes than it did the last time. The     cold of my bathtub is comforting. I lean back, take a deep breath and slowly exhale. My mind hasn't stopped     racing, showing me images from my childhood, from my adolescence, from high school, from college.
	At four years old, I ran away from a camping trip to try to catch up to my parents on a hiking trail. I didn't know which direction they had gone, so I just followed the river. Ten minutes later, I was still alone and it started to sink in. No one is going to take care of me but myself. “#%!^, that's a scary thought. How will I be able to eat? I don't know how to do anything...” I wandered for what felt like forever, never straying from the security of the path I was on. Ah, the path.
	I snapped back to the present. That path. Nearly thirty years later and I realized I was jealous of that path. It had a direction, it knew where it was going. The only surprises on that path came from off the trail. Was this the right way to live my life? Is this how I would find happiness? Should I become a singularly focused individual, striving only for one goal, ignoring anything outside of that? This path is more soulful than I would have imagined a dirt road could be.
	I blink again. My eyelids feel sticky. I'm in my kitchen and I'm nine years old. Our kitchen is being remodeled and the floor is missing. I can see the dirt, spiderwebs, the century of unuse under the house. There is no rot, there is no termite damage, there is no foundation. Our house sits directly on the dirt hillside, raised up just enough to allow air to flow underneath. The house feels sturdy but there is nothing holding it in place, it could slide down the hill at any moment. Who cares? What does this mean?
	The hole in the floor of the kitchen is all I can think about when I open my eyes again. This house has lasted for more than 100 years. All without any sort of foundation, in earthquake country. It has been shaken and beaten more then I ever could be. It refuses to collapse but instead welcomes new people and wraps them in its love. This house is like a grandmother nearing senility; a shaky foundation, but a strong outward presence. A welcoming hug every time you enter through the front door. Is this how I should live? Wandering the earth, rootless, searching for a place to make a stand and show my love for my fellow man? I tried that in college, it didn't work. Free love and no foundation made me completely insecure. At any moment I could be cast aside and would have nothing to fall back on.
	My eyes lose focus as I follow the wall down from the ceiling to the bathtub, finally coming to rest on the floor of the bathtub. The rouge river winds down hands to my knees and finally pools at my heels until there is enough to continue its one-way journey. The thin thread heads straight into the darkness at the end of the tub, where it drips nosily into the drain.
	I blink twice. The second blink takes me away again. It's my Sophomore year of high school and I'm in love for the first time. Her name was Carrie, she was blonde with blue eyes. She was the co-captain of the JV Cheer squad and she always smelled like a freshly picked peony. We went on our first date together when I asked her to the Winter Formal. When I picked her up, I had to sit through “the talk” from her father while I waited for her to put her finishing touches on. After the dance, we went to an after party thrown by one of the Seniors. I didn't drink at all (it was part of “the talk”) but she did and by the time I got her back to her house, the alcohol was in full effect. We made out for half an hour. That 30 minutes was all it took, I knew I was in love. Our relationship lasted for the rest of the year but it didn't make it past the Summer she spent working on her uncle's ranch in Wyoming. I got two reasons out of her, and I've never known which one was more true. She said, “You're just too....nice” and “Cowboys.” My soul crushed, I spent the next two months sad and pitiful. First love, first loss, first time the nice guy finished dead last.
	My eyelids are heavy, but I open them and sigh. I'm back in the bathtub. I'm not an adolescent any more. I sigh again, this time in relief. The bathtub isn't so cold anymore, it has stolen my body heat giving only white porcelain in return. I brush my hand against the side of the tub, leaving irregular streaks as I move my fingers and paint with my essence. I see bits of Van Gogh and Cezanne in the chaotic crimson my fingers trail behind. I shut my eyes and am transported to my friends dorm in college. Jill is seated on her bed with Starry Night peaking at me over her right shoulder. There are two other friends in here, but I can't see their faces or remember their names. We have been discussing which super power we would want to have and why for the last three hours. I have held to my contention that being able to stop time would make one unstoppable while heavily debating flight and superspeed. We finally stop debating at 2am and I go home to sleep. In the morning, I hear from friends in the dorms near Jill. They are all asking me what I was talking about last night, apparently they could hear my laugh from the next dorm over. I tell them. They laugh more. I feel ashamed that my laugh has made me recognizable from hundreds of feet away. I am embarrassed by our conversation. I make a mental note, which I will immediately forget, to tone down my laugh.
	As I open my eyes from this memory, I realize the truth. I have spent most of my life running from my emotions. They crippled me time and again. My brain doesn't see it that way however, it relishes the emotions, the differences, the change, the unique. The problem is that I don't. My brain is pleading with me in the only way it knows how. It is pleading for me to reverse this process. It is imploring me to lift myself up, to stand up again. I finally relent and lift my heavy hands, attached to heavy arms, to the edge of the tub. I set my feet flat against the floor of the tub, toes pushing against the side so I don't slip in the pooled and partially coagulated blood. I see my phone, it is across the room. It is now my only chance for survival. I strain my muscles to stand.

My eyes close.

answer: The narrator frequently flashbacks to his first love, an unnamed blonde co-captain of the JV cheerleaders.

The narrator then assures a skeptic acquaintance that yes, he did enjoy the result of what most would perceive as an embarrassing start to his life. Nevertheless, even he did not foresee his first kiss would then also mark the end of his relationship.

I was lying on my bed, far too tired to actually get into a comfortable position so I just lay there and began to drift off.
When suddenly, there was a darkness. I immediately knew that I was no longer awake. Still, I stayed in this state of mind.
I was laying there, arms hanging off my bed, head slouching in this dream world that took place in my room.
The darkness began to engulf my room. Beginning with the far corner opposite of the door.
My bed, where I was laying, was in the middle of room. As I quickly noticed that the darkness would soon snatch me, I lazily, though rather quickly, got up and ran for my parents room.
Once there, I noticed my mother was sleeping on the bed. I went to lie next to her. I felt a warmth, as only a mother could provide in such a time.
Suddenly, her touch turned from warm to spine-chilling. It was the darkness!
At this point, the darkness began to scare the living hell out of me, so at that moment, I gathered all the power I could and forced myself awake!
And as I woke up, I knew that I was once again safe from the darkness.

The CALIFORNIA HOUSING FINANCE AGENCY (CALHFA), established in 1975, is an independent California state agency within the California Department of Housing and Community Development that makes low-rate housing loans through the sale of taxable and tax exempt bonds.[1][2]

History

CalHFA was created by the Zenovich–Moscone–Chacon Housing and Home Finance Act of 1975, which also permanently established and reorganized the California Department of Housing and Community Development.[3]

Known until 2002 as CHFA (commonly pronounced “cha-fuh”), CalHFA was rebranded “to keep pace with our expanding audience and the growing needs of the affordable housing marketplace” and “to elevate CalHFA’s profile on all key fronts.”[4][5]

Historically, CalHFA has provided housing assistance in three areas: below-market interest rate mortgages and downpayment assistance for first-time homebuyers, most of whom were low- and moderate income families and ethnic minorities not well-served by market rate products, insurance for single-family home purchase mortgages, and loans for the development of multifamily rental housing. These financial products were funded through sale of revenue bonds secured by the mortgage products and the underlying property. The operating costs of the agency are paid by origination and service fees, and the difference between the interest paid on outstanding debt and the interest charged on the loans made. Beginning in 2002, passage of Proposition 46 (2002) provided funding for additional activities through sale of general obligation bonds.[6] This source of funding was extended by passage of Proposition 1C (2006).[7][8]

In 2014, the CalHFA board voted to expand first mortgage eligibility to non-first-time homebuyers.

Structure

The Single Family Division provides low interest rate home financing to low to moderate income homebuyers in California, as well as down payment and closing cost assistance.[9]

The Multifamily Programs division provides permanent financing for the acquisition, rehabilitation, and preservation or new construction of rental housing that includes affordable rents for low and moderate income families and individuals.[10]

The Asset Management Division is responsible for the management of agency-financed multifamily rental developments, where each project is monitored regarding its financial, physical and occupancy compliance with various regulations in California.[11]

Programs

The CalPLUS loan programs feature a CalHFA fixed interest rate first mortgage, insured either through FHA or on the conventional market. This loan is fully amortized for a 30-year term and is combined with the CalHFA Zero Interest Program (ZIP) for down payment assistance.

The Cal EEM + Grant combines an FHA Energy Efficient Mortgage with an additional 4% grant to help homebuyers improve their home with energy-efficient upgrades.

The California Homebuyer’s Downpayment Assistance Program (CHDAP) offers a deferred-payment subordinate loan amount of (3%) of the purchase price of appraised value, whichever is less, to be used for down payment and/or closing costs.

The Extra Credit Teacher Home Purchase Program (ECTP) is intended for eligible teachers, administrators, classified employees and staff members working in high priority schools in California. Offers a deferred-payment junior loan of an amount not to exceed the greater of $7,500 or 3% of the sales price or in CalHFA-defined high cost areas an amount not to exceed the greater of $15,000 or 3% of the sales price. Assistance can be used for down payment.

The Mortgage Credit Certificate Tax Credit Program (MCC) is a federal credit which can reduce potential federal income tax liability, creating additional net spendable income which borrowers may use toward their monthly mortgage payment. This MCC Tax Credit program may enable first-time homebuyers to convert a portion of their annual mortgage interest into a direct dollar for dollar tax credit on their U.S. individual income tax returns.

Operations

CalHFA is authorized to administer the activities of the California Housing Finance Fund, the California Housing Loan Insurance Fund, and two state general obligation bond funds.[12] CalHFA has $6.8 billion in assets that are mainly loan receivables and investments related to bond proceeds.[13]

CalHFA is a statutorily independent agency and component unit of state government, and is not subject to Budget Act appropriation.[14] Budget information for CalHFA is displayed within that of the Department of Housing and Community Development.[15]

Down Payment Assistance programs are all different with certain requirements for each. State or local housing authorities, a non-profit organization, or lender usually set the requirements and conditions for the DPA program. Some programs require you or your loan officer to take a short course on Down Payment Assistance for first time home buyers.[16]

[16] “Down Payment Assistance”

title: California Housing Finance Agency

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

What does the text say about the options available for low-income would-be homebuyers?

answer: CalHFA provides low-interest first mortgage products, downpayment assistance, and rental development financing. These products are intended for low to moderate income homebuyers. There are different programs for each type of financing, with requirements that vary by program. Some programs require the borrower to complete a course about Down Payment Assistance for first time home buyers.

answer: The California Housing Finance Agency (CalHFA) offers several options with different requirements for homebuying assistance. They offer loans with a low interest rate, down payment assistance, additional funds for energy-efficient upgrades to houses, and a tax credit program that can convert a fraction of annual mortgage interest into a tax credit on the U.S. individual income tax returns.

answer: The CalPLUS loan programs feature a CalHFA fixed interest rate first mortgage, insured either through FHA or on the conventional market. This loan is fully amortized for a 30-year term and is combined with 'the CalHFA Zero Interest Program' (ZIP) for down payment assistance.

text: The response includes one option for low-income homebuyers, but several options are outlined in the text.

refinement: The CalPLUS loan programs feature a CalHFA fixed interest rate first mortgage, insured either through FHA or on the conventional market. This loan is fully amortized for a 30-year term and is combined with 'the CalHFA Zero Interest Program' (ZIP) for down payment assistance. CalHFA also provides down payment assistance and their Mortgage Credit Certificate Tax Credit Program as additional options for low-income homebuyers.

answer: The CalHFA offers low-rate home financing to low to moderate income homebuyers, as well as assistance with down payment and other costs like closing costs. Often a non-profit or local/state housing authority will set the conditions and requirements for assistance. Low and moderate income borrowers can convert a portion of their annual mortgage interest into tax credit payments by using the Mortgage Credit Certificate Tax Credit Program (MCC). Assistance with energy-efficient upgrades can also aid home improvement for low-income buyers.

answer: The CalHFA provides low interest rate home financing to low to moderate income individuals in California. Down payment and closing cost assistance is also available. Additionally, CalHFA offers the CalPLUS loan programs, the Cal EEM + Grant, the California Homebuyer's Downpayment Assistance Program, and the Mortgage Credit Certificate Tax Credit Program. These various programs provide options for would-be homebuyers of low or moderate income.

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

Summarize the article about how CalHFA finances its services.

answer: In general, they use the sale of taxable and tax-exempt bonds. They amortize the operating costs through their origination and service fees and the difference between interest paid with the interest charged for loans. Since 2002, they can sell general obligation bonds to finance their operations. They hold $6.8 billion in assets that are mostly loan receivables and bond proceeds investments. Finally, they are not subject to the Budget Act appropriation.

answer: The article describes how CalHFA has been able to provide houses to low and moderate income families. These loans are provided in three ways: Below-market interest rate mortgages and downpayment assistance for first-time homebuyers, most of whom are low- and moderate-income families, single-family home purchase loans, loans for the development of multifamily rental housing. CalHFA finances have been provided since 1975. In 2014, the CalHFA board voted to change the scope of services to include non-first-time homebuyers. This has expanded the potential audience for the loans. CalHFA is authorized to administer the activities of the California Housing Finance Fund, the California Housing Loan Insurance Fund, and two state general obligation bond funds. The CalHFA assets include loans receivables and investments related to bond proceeds. CalHFA is not subject to Budget Act appropriation.

refinement: CalHFA is not subject to Budget Act appropriation.

text: The response does not include enough information to accurately answer the question.

refinement: CalHFA is not subject to Budget Act appropriation. CalHFA's projects are funded through sale of revenue bonds, origination and service fees, and interest paid on outstanding debt. As of 2002, CalHFA is allowed to secure funding through the use of general obligation bonds.

answer: The article describes how finanical transactions between the California Housing Finance Agency and other companies work - it includes financing, insurance, loans, and bond sales. The article describes how they meet the prepondence economic needs of a low-income population as well.

text: The response does not answer the question at all.

refinement: CalHFA's projects are funded through sale of revenue bonds, origination and service fees, and interest paid on outstanding debt. As of 2002, CalHFA is allowed to secure funding through the use of general obligation bonds. CalHFA is also not subject to Budget Act appropriation.

answer: CalHFA, through the sale of bonds, provides low-rate home loans and down payment assistance to low to moderate income homebuyers and financial products for the development of multifamily rental housing. CalHFA is statutorily independent and does not rely on Budget Act appropriation for financial support. Some down payment assistance programs require short courses to qualify.

Development

It was designed in 1984 after an architectural contest run by the RIAS and Perth Council which was won by architects FaulknerBrowns.[6][7] Councillor John L. Wilson presided over the development of the Perth Leisure Pool[8] and it was opened by The Princess Royal on 29 July 1988.

Facilities

The complex includes 5 swimming pools with flumes, bubble beds and other water features;[9] a gym,[10] health spa, cafe, creche and outdoor children's play area. The combination of leisure and swimming facilities has proved outstandingly successful[11] and, in twenty years, it has had over ten million visitors.[12] The separate children's lagoon varies in depth between . The small slide for this pool provides suitably scaled-down thrills for children and is very popular.[13]

Maintenance

It has been well maintained since opening, with refurbishments taking place every few years. However, in August 2002,[14] there was an outbreak of cryptosporidiosis which caused gastrointestinal illness for 74 people.[15] This resulted in the closure of the pool while the matter was investigated.[16] Numerous improvements to the cleaning and water treatment processes were recommended by the Outbreak Control Team and these were made prior to the reopening of the centre.[17][18]

    “Hey Ricky, can I have the last of the Oreos?”

    “As long as I can have the last Twinkie.”

    “It’s a deal!”

Jon bit down into the last of the delectable little morsels, savoring its sweet and creamy inside. The cookie was sweet and beautiful, a delicious respite from the chaos outside. He knew damn well it was likely to be the last Oreo he would ever taste.

Although their sweets were running low, their supply of other foods was another story. Living inside of a Wal-Mart had its benefits. And its own set of problems…

    The door, a gateway to the outside world and all its disgusting
                               remnants.

Ricky was preparing for his morning jog outside of Aisle 12. Regardless of what conditions were like outside, staying in shape was always a good idea. As he stretched, Jon came shuffling over in a lethargic state. Wearing nothing but boxers and a white t-shirt, you could never have guessed he was standing in the middle of a Wal-Mart at the end of days. His common and relaxed demeanor ceded nothing to the knowledge of the apocalypse in which they were now living.

    The door, hastily welded shut and barricaded with simple grocery
                                carts.

Ricky lay silent in his makeshift bed, his mind cramped and hazy. As he stared off into space, he could hear the sounds of trees slapping the sides of the grocery store. The wind was howling, and as the rains buffeted the parking lot outside, a crash of thunder could be heard, somewhere far off in the distance.  The rain and the wind created a dull humming, both broad and low. Ricky hadn’t been able to sleep properly in weeks. Jon, on the other hand, seemed calm and stable. He fell asleep just moments after his head smashed into his pillow. Ricky lay there awake, thinking about life. About survival. About the door.

    The door, the breaking point of their defenses against the world
                                outside.

    “30….31…..32….33 boxes of cereal ”

    “Got it.”

    “1…..2……3….4….5…6….7….8….9…10….11 boxes of nutra-grain bars.”

    “Kay……got it.”

    “1……2…..3…..”

    The door, thin panes of glass across its surface.

Jon was refilling the gas in the generator when he heard it. The sound of breaking glass followed by a guttural moaning. They had come.

    The door, the breaking point of their spirits.

The apocalypse had come to greet them. Death awaited with open arms.

    The door.

title: Mundane

question: How did the world end?

answer: Perhaps the world was destroyed by a meteor. Or maybe by nuclear war.

text: Putting this statement into a proper statement will be helpful.

refinement: The world may have been destroyed by a meteor or maybe by nuclear war.

answer: It appears that no one knows how the apocalypse happened but it appears that cannibals live outside the door.

answer: The story only hints at the kind of apocalypse it's staged after, in the "guttural moans" they hear after the doors are broken. It points to some kind of zombie apocalypse.

question: Who are the main characters in the story?

answer: Jon and Ricky

text: This response should be put into a proper full sentence.

refinement: Jon and Ricky are the main characters in the story.

answer: Jon and Ricky.

text: This response should be put into a full sentence.

refinement: Jon and Ricky are the main characters in the story.

answer: Ricky and Jon

text: This response should be put into a proper full sentence.

refinement: Ricky and Jon are the main characters in the story.

question: How do they stay alive?

answer: By staying within the confines of the store, the protagonists are essentially trapped. They rely on stockpiled food in the store to stay alive. They also use the generator as a means to keep the store lit and conserved.

answer: They are camping inside a Wal-Mart, eating through its stocks.

answer: Although life has become difficult for everyone inhabiting the Wal-Mart, they do what they can to try and stay alive. Being prepared and smart is the best way to survive. From scavenging food and water to keeping the generator alive, these survivors do what they can to keep going in the face of destruction.

question: Why can't Ricky sleep?

answer: He has worries about their survival. While Jon can sleep despite these, Ricky is probably a more anxious person.

answer: He is too stressed about keeping himself, Jon, and the perimeter secure from the creatures that go in and out with the bars of almond chocolate.

text: There is additional details provided in this response that can be omitted as they do not add to answering the original question.

refinement: He is too stressed about keeping himself, Jon, and the perimeter secure from the creatures.

answer: It is not stated. He doesn't seem distraught so it's unclear what the problem could be.

text: This response is incorrect and needs to input the correct answer in.

refinement: Ricky cannot sleep because he is worried about survival through the apocalypse.

question: Write a ~4 sentence summary.

answer: Jon and Ricky camp inside a Wal-Mart, shielded from the end of days by the glass door of the store barricaded with shopping carts. They pass their days trying to keep in shape and taking stock of what they have to eat. One day, Ricky hears the glass breaking followed by guttural moans. The apocalypse has breached their door.

answer: Ricky is prepared for his morning jog while Jon goes to refill the gas in the generator. Ricky is still asleep as he hears the breaking of glass and the sounds of people outside. Jon learns that the sound is the apocalypse has come to greet them. They hope the door holds the people outside.

text: Some details in this story are confused and inaccurate.

refinement: Ricky is prepared for his morning jog while Jon lazily comes outside. Jon is still asleep as he hears the breaking of glass and the sounds of people outside. Jon learns that the sound is the apocalypse has come to greet them. They hope the door holds the people outside.

answer: Jon and Ricky live in a WalMart having barricaded themselves against the apocalypse. Jon is eating Oreos and Rickystretching. They hear glass break and they worry about the door. The door is the breaking point of their spirits.

text: There needs to be a space between Ricky and stretching.

refinement: Jon and Ricky live in a WalMart having barricaded themselves against the apocalypse. Jon is eating Oreos and Ricky is stretching. They hear glass break and they worry about the door. The door is the breaking point of their spirits.

answer: A Wal-Mart has become the shelter the main characters are using for survival. They are managing ok with a gas generator, but they are in immediate danger. The sounds coming from the outside, the wreckage of the world, causes their spirits to suffer. The door is important symbolically because it is the only thing they can defend themselves with.

answer: Ricky and Jon are living inside a Wal-Mart as the apocalypse unfolds. Jon catches Ricky up on their food supply. He tells Ricky they are low on Oreos. While loading up the generator with gas, Jon notices they are being attacked.

text: Some of the details provided in this summary are not the most important and do not need to be included.

refinement: Ricky and Jon are living inside a Wal-Mart as the apocalypse unfolds. Jon catches Ricky up on their food supply. Ricky and Jon see when they are being attacked from their door.

answer: Ricky and Jon live inside a Wal-Mart. Jon is savoring an Oreo when Ricky comes over asking for one. Neither of them feel any fear of impending doom. As Ricky and Jon are working through chores, they hear glass shattering and moans outside the door. Frequently mentioned, there's an apocalypse going on.

text: There are details provided that do not need to be here and do not add on to the summary.

     Richard was pulled from a strange dream (he was a used car salesman in Wisconsin) by a wet nose rubbing against his hand. He half opened his eyes, catching a wall of golden fur and a long snout before shutting them tight again and smiling to himself. He rolled over to the other side of the bed, and began to fake loud snoring sounds. This always drove Annabelle crazy. His world shook as she lept onto the bed with a playful growl and began furiously licking his face. "I'm up! I'm up, girl! I'm up!" he shrieked with mock terror, trying halfheartedly to push her away.

     One more lick and she jumped off the bed, sauntering accross the room with a decidedly self-satisfied gait. Another playful growl as she looked back at him just before leaving the room. "I'm up" he yelled again as he sat up and watched her leave. He chuckled softly as he crawled from his bed and made his way to the closet. She would lay outside his bedroom door for a few minutes, he knew, making sure that he stayed awake and was getting ready. If he took too long, there would be consequences.

     Moments later Richard emerged from the bedroom, wearing blue running shorts and a time-worn Nematodes Are People Too T-shirt. "Alright, Ms. Annabelle, lets do this." he said with enthusiasm, leading the way into the next room. He turned on the music, opened the blinds, and started both the treadmills. "This fast enough for you?" he asked sarcastically, smiling wide as he adjusted the speed to her treadmill. She cocked her head slightly, looked directly at him, and stepped onto the quickly moving belt. "Sorry, sorry, my mistake." He doubled the speed, then hopped onto the other treadmill. He began running at a comfortable pace, playing with the dials and nobs and settings and doing his best to ignore the judging eyes. A loud bark from Annabelle broke his false concentration. "Oh come on..." Another bark. "Fine." He doubled his speed as well, far past what he was comfortable with, instantly feeling the strain in his legs. "Bitch."

TalkTalk became aware something was up in September 2014 after customer complaints began rolling in. Scam callers had been targeting subscribers under the pretense of providing technical support, and knew their names, addresses, TalkTalk account numbers and, of course, their phone numbers. Ironically, these wannabe identity thieves had actually gleaned this information from a customer database belonging to Wipro, a company that resolves complaints and provides _legitimate_ tech support on TalkTalk's behalf.

Upon lengthy investigation, TalkTalk discovered three Wipro employee accounts had been used to access customer details unlawfully. As it turned out, employees could access the data by logging in from any device with an internet connection, and simple search terms would allow staff to view and export the data of 500 customers at a time. It was this lax approach to data handling that the ICO found to be a breach of the Data Protection Act, hence the fine of £100,000 today.

This kind of breach is completely different to the "significant and sustained cyberattack" that hit the provider in 2015, but we imagine TalkTalk would just like to pay the piper and let us go back to forgetting this earlier breach ever happened.
