Do you think you're blacklisted?. Find out how much a personal unsecured loan could cost, even if you think you are blacklisted by credit companies. Complete your details below for a personalised loan quote. Make a fresh start by consolidating debts with a personal loan
This illustration is for a standard personal loan. Depending on your circumstances, you may not qualify for a standard loan, but may be offered a short term, high cost (payday) loan. Complete the application and we will get back to you with the most suitable loan we can offer
Think you're Blacklisted and need a Loan. First, here's the good news. There is no such thing as a blacklist.
Many people believe that by having a bad credit history you are barred from being able to get a loan in the future and that your details are added to a "credit blacklist" meaning you will not be eligible for a loan.
In reality, many loan applications are rejected because the client does not meet the criteria defined by the lender they are applying to. When you apply for a loan, each lender will determine whether your circumstances are acceptable to their lending criteria. If you meet their guidelines, you will normally be offered a loan. If not, you will be turned down. However, there is no central blacklist of people with bad credit scores that lenders use as the basis of determining who they will lend to.
Being refused credit by one lender, doesn't necessarily mean you will be refused by another. Each lender has their own criteria they need to keep to and this varies from company to company. Lenders do share information through individual's credit reports, but each lender examines the information on your credit report and assesses you based only on their own guidelines.
You may have been refused a loan before but now need a loan to buy a car, or for car repairs, or you may need a loan for home improvements. Loans are available for people who have had prior credit problems but are now in a different financial situation - these can be loans are for tenants or if you are renting and need low APR interest rates. If you need to pay off your debts quickly, maybe to pay off other loans or credit cards, we may be able to help you, even if you think you are on a 'blacklist'. Bear in mind that although a new loan may reduce your monthly payments, it may increase the overall amount you will pay back.
If you are having financial problems and you are worried about where to get help with you finances, we can put you in touch with a reputable loan broker. You do not have to enter an IVA or declare bankruptcy for a bank loan. A qualified loan broker can help you take control of your finances even if you thought you were on a blacklist, however quickly you need you money.
If you have had previous issues with payments or defaults and need a personal loan, we can put you in touch with a regulated loan broker, even if you have had financial problems in the past and you are worried about where to get help with you finances. If you need to raise money fast, a qualified loan broker can help you get back control of your finances.

Here's a dispatch (from China's news agencies) that I found incredibly interesting and I want to share it all with you.
I've been wild about the World Cup, watching every match I could, while I'm not at work.
China, it seems is going wild over the cup too. Only thing is, they don't have a team competing in it.
No matter. They are gambling, illegally it would appear, online. In record numbers.
As of this past Saturday, one day into the tournament, Chinese police said they already confiscated $102 million in illegal funds and arrested some 3,600 suspects for illegal gambling in connection with the World Cup. This from a report by the state-run Xinhua news agency.
"The state of our country's online illegal gambling activities is still a very grim situation," a police official told reporters, according to the Legal Daily. He largely blamed offshore gambling syndicates for "infiltrating" the country, according to the report.
While Chinese officials like to blame foreigners for the illegal activities, corruption has a long history in Chinese soccer.
Traditionally, national-team hopefuls had to pay tens of thousands of yuan in bribes, said Rowan Simons, author of a book on soccer in China, according to CNN.
"Players have come out and said they can't play for the national team because they can't afford it," he said, according to the report.
Surely, neither China's soccer skill nor its level of corruption is the worst in the world. In both areas it falls somewhere in the middle: According to FIFA, Chinese soccer ranks 84th in the world, just ahead of Mozambique.
Yeah, China didn't qualify for the World Cup, but the government is heavily promoting the competition. CCTV, the state-run television network, airs the matches each night along with pre- and post-game commentary, while a number of domestic newspaper reporters have made the long flight to South Africa.

An exit option for Cairn shareholders3 min read . Updated: 16 Aug 2010, 10:34 PM IST
An exit option for Cairn shareholders
An exit option for Cairn shareholders
The acquisition of Cairn India Ltd by Vedanta Resources Plc had investors concerned about the huge acquisition cost of between $8.5 billion and $9.6 billion (Rs40,000- 45,000 crore) and what it will do to Vedanta's balance sheet. The firm's existing capex plan of around $14 billion till fiscal 2013 will continue, and the deal will not affect its other plans. While debt will balloon after the transaction, Vedanta hopes to make Cairn's operations bigger and more profitable. That and improving cash flows from its existing businesses will aid in servicing the debt. Central to its rationale is a steady trend in commodity prices of the metals it sells and now crude oil, too, providing it with enough of a cushion to digest the acquisition. And a clever deal structure may ease the burden a bit.
Also Read Acquisition Blues (Graphic)
Sesa Goa Ltd's open offer to Cairn's shareholders plays an important part. If it succeeds in getting a 20% stake, Vedanta will buy a 40% stake to take its total to 60%. If the open offer were to get no response, Vedanta will buy a 51% stake. But Sesa Goa will buy a 20% stake from Vedanta. Thus the deal size will be cut by about $1 billion. Moreover, Vedanta's direct exposure will be lower, as nearly 40% of the consideration will be funded by Sesa Goa.
If Vedanta has to buy a 40% stake, assuming the open offer meets full acceptance, it will raise $6.5 billion as bank finance to fund the transaction. This will drop to $5.2 billion if the open offer fails. The company expects its debt-related ratios to worsen initially but improve by 2012, as the size of its business grows, profitability improves and cash flows are used to repay debt. Sesa Goa, though, will have to pay about $3 billion. It has about $2 billion on its books and hopes to have the rest by the end of the year, when the deal is expected to be finalized. It may have to resort to bridge financing, if there is a shortfall, however.
Sesa Goa was the surprise factor. Vedanta's entry into the oil and gas sector can be explained as taking exposure to another natural resource. But Sesa Goa's acquisition of a 20% stake is difficult to justify. The main logic appears to be the cash pile on its books and, apparently, a lack of other opportunities. Recent developments, such as the proposed mining tax and a ban on iron exports in Karnataka, have already created uncertainty. The acquisition adds to this. A 20% stake will only give it proportionate profits of Cairn, and it will not reflect in its revenue. Dividend and capital appreciation are the two main paybacks. Cairn is still in the investment phase, and will need to reinvest cash into its business, and appreciation helps only if it sells its stake, which appears a remote possibility.
Cairn India's shares fell by 6.3% on Monday to Rs332.85 reflecting investor disappointment at the price. But it rose by 7% last week, over Wednesday's close, after rumours of the deal surfaced. The deal values Cairn India at about Rs78,000 crore or 23% higher than its current market capitalization. So, why did the stock correct?
Shareholders may have been expecting more. They may also feel let down by the Rs50 per share non-compete fee that goes to the promoters. With the existing management being retained in the company, and Cairn Energy stating it is not exiting India through this transaction, they could have paid a common price to all shareholders as well. Some profit-booking too may have caused the fall.
The deal values Cairn India at Rs355 or Rs405 a share (including the non-compete), though analysts have valued it much lower. Edelweiss Securities Ltd valued Cairn India at Rs323 on a sum-of-parts basis while Elara Securities (India) Pvt. Ltd had a target of Rs315 for Cairn India. According to Elara's analysts, apart from its existing available reserves, Cairn India has reserves of 1.9 billion barrels of oil equivalent (boe), from which management had guided towards a 9% recovery. However, the recovery rates implied by the deal valuation are higher. Analysts say that improvement would take some time to be visible.
So, what should Cairn India's shareholders do? The share is valued higher compared with peers such as Reliance Industries Ltd and Oil and Natural Gas Corp. Ltd (though not strictly comparable). It is also trading above analyst estimates. The open offer, therefore, provides a good opportunity to sell at least part of their holdings.

Destroying "trust" in Trustees at TCDSB
Destroying "trust" in Trustees at TCDSB
TORONTO – Here are some significant facts and figures to consider when evaluating the Trustworthiness of one of the largest and most significant organizations in the country from a public policy, citizen engagement, public service and lyong-term-outcome perspective.
Yes, this is about the Toronto Catholic School Board. It operates 200 schools for 90,000 children and some 10,000 staff – educational and support.
For this privileged task it receives, from the Province, $204.7 million annually to build and/or keep in good repair these 200 sites. A further $915.5 million per annum to educate your children and mine in a "Catholic values" environment.
They are impressive numbers. If you have been counting, that is $1.12 Billion dollars a year. There's more, but what is important to know for now is that all this money is entrusted to the hands of a Director of Education (nearly always a teacher who earned "his/her stripes" via a classroom experience) and a Board of Trustees.
They have duties for which they can be held liable, legally and politically. The Director is usually very well paid. In this case, Mr. Rory McGuckin, earns c. $300,000 + benefits, although the Sunshine List will not reflect his full salary until next year. Trustees receive an honorarium of about $5,000 a year, plus some expenses. Different duties.
Sometimes, through "human error" they can make minor miscalculations like reporting a balanced budget before the 2014 election (October) only to discover in March of 2015 they had, in fact, a $ 41.5 million deficit. School boards are legally bound to run balanced budgets. It is all taxpayer money.
That same year, with Trustee Michael Del Grande as Chair, the Board bought 3.15 acres of land – and a convent – from the Sisters of the Good Shepherd, next to their High School (Dante Alighieri) for $18 million. They managed to find another estimated $ 22 million to purchase the Columbus Centre and 3.47 acres.
As part of the Purchase and sale Agreement, TCDSB also signed a Development Agreement with Villa Charities that, according to posted Public Notices, Application submissions to Community Council and City Planning Departments and to the Ontario Municipal Board, would see the Demolition of the Columbus Centre.
Subsequent [planned] 3,000 condo units that would spring up in the area, thanks to the partnership, would net the TCDSB approximately $4.5 million in educational Development fees. And, if you are still counting, the similarity in the total of the last three dollar values is purely co-incidental.
No matter, the Provincial government had set aside $32.8 million for the construction of the school component of the joint-venture, on condition that the Minister give written authorization prior to TCDSB going to tender with the project. The Minister required, among other issues, that a proper public consultation take place beforehand. Of course, we cnnot know for sure because the Board will not release the Redevelopment Agreement, neither will VCI. Not to the public, and by all appearances, not to all Trustees. Yet the "Board" has, as of January 25th, voted twice to extend this Agreement.
The claim, according to Trustee Maria Rizzo, is that VCI has threatened legal action if the TCDSB pulls out. In a November 16, 2017 public meeting, TCDSB staff lawyer, P. Matthews, suggested that there was no merit to that possibility. Director McGuckin repeated that position twice.
Current Chair, Trustee Barbara Poplawski, who is not a lawyer but a friend and ally of Trustee Rizzo, disagreed with the legal opinion of the staff lawyer. Why keep him on retainer, one is tempted to ask.
Re-enter Trustee Del Grande, who at the Jan 25th meeting moved that the Board obtain external legal opinion "on indemnifying Members of the Board and Management … for legal advice/support on civil and defamation actions …and…reimbursing legal expenses for Trustees incurred in their capacity as members of the Board".
This is called "lawyering up". Except that Mr. Del Grande wants the taxpayer to cover the legal bills. Mr. del Grande has been threatening legal action against a citizen who wrote the Solicitor General, Minister Naqvi, asking him to investigate the legalities of the TCDSB's dealings. He made similar utterances to the Corriere Canadese's reporter covering the story.
The timing is curious because maximum City was supposed to submit its Report on the advisability of moving forward with a publicly discredited Agreement. More significantly, it appears not all Trustees were/are familiar with its details, but all are asked to go along with a Board decision to continue with the proposed Redevelopment Agreement.
Trustee Rizzo continues to advance the claim that the Board is liable for any breach of the Agreement. She has probably seen the details. Another former Chair, Trustee Kennedy must also have knowledge of the contents of the Agreement. She managed the first TCDSB extension of the "due diligence" period in September of 2017. No other Trustees have acknowledged having seen the contents of that Agreement.
After the Consultants and the public vacated the Board premises on the January 25th, the meeting went into "private session", where the Board Lawyer and Mr. Mc Guckin apparently changed their view on the legal liability of trustees if an extension to the redevelopment project were not provided.
Two trustees, 'Piccininni and D'Amico, asked to see the deal before any vote. Seems like the prudent thing to do. They were denied access by Mr. McGuckin.
How does he expect Trustees to fulfill their fiduciary duties? They were not elected to be bobble heads for someone else's agenda.

We're still looking at the way swing traders — those who don't monitor the market during the regular trading session — could profit from the system calls Nat posts before the day session opens. Using the same simplified trading method outlined n the previous post, we will be posting week-by-week results for the e-mini futures (ESH6). The oil trades will still get a cursory glance, but the initial results didn't give good outcomes for swing traders. Here's the results for the first week of February: One … Continue reading
As you know Nat has been developing new trading methods for several months. The process involves calculating what we are calling "inflection points" (for lack of a better term) using overnight trading activity. She posts the re-calculated numbers in her live trade room shortly after 8:00 a.m. and her trade room members then have them available for the morning trading session. But we also want to use these numbers for a different group of traders — people who can place an order in the morning, but … Continue reading

Israel blacklists Hamas station said to use on-air cues to recruit terrorists
Shin Bet says Al-Aqsa TV presenters in Gaza conveyed clandestine messages to direct terror in West Bank; IDF bombed channel's headquarters in November, but it kept broadcasting
Israel on Wednesday officially designated as a terror organization a Hamas-run Palestinian television network accused by the Shin Bet security service of using on-air cues to direct terror attacks and recruit terrorists in the West Bank.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is also defense minister, signed a decree proscribing Al-Aqsa TV in accordance with Israel's counter-terror law, his office said in a statement.
"This decision comes at the recommendation of the Shin Bet and the Defense Ministry's National Bureau for Counter Terror Financing, after the Shin Bet revealed terror group Hamas's use of the satellite channel 'Al-Aqsa' to recruit operatives," the statement said.
The Shin Bet last month accused the broadcaster and Gaza-based journalists of acting as agents of Hamas's military wing, and passing clandestine messages to terror operatives in the West Bank and East Jerusalem by using quotes from the Quran or subtle gestures by the presenters. The Shin Bet named two presenters who it said conveyed messages from Gaza via signals on air.
The Shin Bet said the plot was a key factor in the decision made by the Israel Defense Forces to bomb Al-Aqsa TV's headquarters in Gaza in November.
Israel has also long accused Hamas and other terror groups of using the special status granted to journalists as a cover for nefarious activities.
Al-Aqsa TV's reporters have frequently praised violence against Israelis and rocket attacks on the Jewish state.
In 2010, the US government designated the station as a terror group.
For several years, the Gaza-based Hamas operatives involved in the plot have been working to recruit Palestinians in the West Bank and East Jerusalem to join their ranks and carry out attacks against Israeli civilians and soldiers, the Shin Bet said.
"Hamas's efforts to inspire these activities, despite its repeated failures, indicate a strategy that was chosen by the heads of Hamas to try to imperil the stability of the West Bank at any price," a senior official in the agency said in a statement.
The security officer warned that those efforts represented a "significant and immediate threat to the stability of the region."
In one case, a recruit was passed a message by a newscaster placing a cup of tea on his desk and repeating a line from a song.
"By watching the broadcast, the operative in the West Bank received the validation of the things that the Gaza Strip operative had told him," the Shin Bet said.
According to the security service, Israel first came to realize that Hamas was using Al-Aqsa TV in this way in October 2018. That led to the decision to bomb the station's headquarters the next month, during a large flareup between the IDF and the Strip's terror groups, which had fired some 500 rockets and mortar shells at southern Israel within 24 hours.
At the time, the IDF said it had demolished the Al-Aqsa TV headquarters in "response to the terror attack that the Hamas terror group is leading against Israeli citizens."
Israeli aircraft first fired a "warning missile" at the multi-story headquarters, which was captured live on air as personnel fled the building, before firing a number of missiles to flatten the building.
Shortly after the razing of the station's building, the Hamas-affiliated outlet appeared poised to close, but was kept on air at the last minute, broadcasting from another location, thanks to an influx of money from the terror group.
Hamas political chief Ismail Haniyeh declared in a statement at the time that Al-Aqsa TV's broadcast would not be halted. He also said a "clear and direct decision" was made to keep the channel on air, without elaborating.
The Gaza City-based channel has said the damages amounted to some $4.5 million; it also said that its financial crisis had been "partially resolved."
Israel also bombed the outlet's headquarters in December 2008, during the first war to break out in Gaza in the wake of the 2005 disengagement.

It is the easiest thing to locate car shipping companies around Alpine should you have access to the internet as well as a little patience. Today, each and every business has a website and the auto shipping segment makes no exception. Do a search to discover all the shipping companies that operate in Alpine and then try to find the best quotes online. But also watch out, a low priced package does not imply you will get the best bargain. Some businesses operating in Utah are noticeably cheaper, but the facilities offered are down below par.
The most challenging part will come next. It is best to research the company you are considering. There are lots and lots of people from Alpine, UT that have written reviews online and they're a great supply of info. Sure, some could be very subjective, yet try to look for evaluations which talk about the same issues you have an interest in. Moreover, make sure the company you've selected has been in business for some time. The market is in a poor condition at the moment and some firms that gain a bad track record pop-up with brand new names every couple of years.
The next phase is to reserve your transport. Remember to ask for a confirmation email or fax because this can come in handy. Do not forget that you then need to set up your vehicle for transportation. This means that it is best to remove all personal objects and make sure nothing important remains in the vehicle. It is best to be safe than sorry whenever using companies from Alpine. Alpine, UT vehicle shipping companies request their clients to empty their gas tanks to a 1 / 4 of their capacity. Having a lighter load, the gas usage during the transportation is minimized which means lower expenses. To be able to see the pre existent damage on the automobile, make sure you clean it before transportation.
When the Alpine, UT car transport firm sends the carrier for the pick up, make sure the driver inspects your vehicle for current deterioration. Every little thing wrong with the vehicle is noted on a vehicle condition report which you also get. Keep yours because this can come in handy in Alpine. You never know just what may take place during the transportation, thus check out your automobile once the Alpine, UT auto transport company comes with it. If you discover damages that were not there, ask the carrier for a signed condition report.
Whatever you must transport from Alpine, UT, you'll discover the proper company to help you. Do some investigation and after that examine offers.

Several investigations, in humans and animals, have shown the influence of androgens on learning processess using different learning tasks. There are numerous reports indicating that testosterone (T) administration can impair rat performance in spatial water maze (1-6) and inhibitory avoidance tasks (7). While some investigators have shown that the androgens improve cognitive performance (8-11), others have not been able to demonstrate a significant difference between the intact and T-depleted or T-administered male rats with respect to the spatial learning and memory (12).
Several previous findings also suggest that the metabolites of T may be responsible or mediate some of the effects on learning and memory. T is metabolized through the 5α-reductase enzyme to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a nonaromatizable androgen. It was shown that T or DHT replacement in gonadectomized (GDX) rats could enhance cognitive performance (13, 14). However, DHT can be further metabolized through 3α-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (3α-HSD) to 5α-androstane, 17β-diol (3α-diol), which can also influence the cognitive performance. For example, in male rats, the administration of 3α-androstanediol (3α-diol) is more effective than T or DHT in improving conditioned place preference (15, 16) or, performance in spatial tasks (17), while limiting the formation of 3α-diol with a 3α-HSD inhibitor reduces the performance in the inhibitory avoidance task of intact or GDX, DHT-replaced rats compared to GDX controls (14). Although the administration of the nonaromatizable androgen, DHT, to young male rats enhances the inhibitory avoidance, it does not seem to improve the performance in the radial water maze of 22-month-old male rats (18). These data indicate that the metabolites of T may play an important role in mediating the cognition.
The hippocampus is an important target for androgens and androgens may improve cognitive performance through their action in hippocampus. The inhibitory avoidance, water maze and Y-maze tasks, are dependent upon the integrity of the hippocampus (19) and are influenced with androgen milieu (13, 20, 21). It is also known that the T-administration in GDX rats increases the hippocampal neuronal excitability (22). T-administration in male or female rats has also been shown to increase dendritic spine density in the CA3 and CA1 regions of the dorsal hippocampus and improves spatial navigation in the water maze (20, 23).
Moreover, all of the enzymes necessary for T metabolism (aromatase, 5α-reductase, and 3α-HSD) are located within the hippocampus (24-26) and T metabolites are readily formed in this region (24, 27, 28). These data further demonstrates that the hippocampus is a major target for T and/or its metabolites.
The study was designed to assess the effect of pre-training injections of dihydrotestosterone into the CA1 region of hippocampus on Morris water maze (MWM) performance.
Male albino Wistar rats (220-250 g) obtained from the Pasteur Institute of Iran were used in this study. Rats were housed in large cages (five per cage) before the surgery and individually in small cages after the surgery at room temperature of (25 ± 2°C) and standard 12:12 h light-dark cycle with light on at 07:00. Food and water were available ad-lib. These animal experimentations were carried out in accordance with the recommendations from the Declaration of Helsinki and internationally accepted principles for the use of experimental animals.
Rats were anesthetized with Ketamine (100 mg/Kg IP) and xylazine (3 mg/Kg IP) and placed in a Stereotaxic instrument (Stoelting, USA). Bilateral guide cannulas were implanted in the right and left CA1 and were attached to the skull surface using dental cement and jewellers screws. Stereotaxic coordinates based on Paxinos and Watsons atlas of the rat brain were: anterior-posterior (AP), -3.8 mm from bregma; medial-lateral (ML), ± 2.2 mm from midline; and dorsal–ventral (DV), -2.7 mm from the skull surface.
Microinjection procedure
Intracereberal injection was done through guide cannula (23-gauge) using an injection needle (30-gauge) connected by polyethylene tubing to a 0.5 μL Hamilton micro-syringes. The injection needle was inserted 0.3 mm beyond the tip of the cannula and a 0.05 μL of vehicle (dimethyl sulfoxide, DMSO) or a different dose of dihydrotestosterone (DHT) was injected into each side of CA1 region over 2 min; the needle was left in place for an additional 60 sec before it was slowly withdrawn.R ats were divided into 4 groups that received vehicle (DMSO) or different doses of dihydrotestosterone (0.25, 0.5 and 1 μg/0.5 μL/side) 30 min before the training in MWM.
Behavioral assessment
The water maze is a black circular tank 136 cm in diameter and 60 cm in height. The tank was filled with water (20 ± 1°C) to a depth of 25 cm. The maze was located in a room containing many extra maze cues (e.g. bookshelves, refrigerator and poster). The maze was divided geographically into four quadrants [Northeast (NE), Northwest (NW), Southeast (SE), Southwest (SW)] with starting positions [North (N), South (S), West (W), East (E)] that were equally spaced around the perimeter of the tank. A hidden circular platform (diameter: 10 cm) was located in the center of the SW quadrant, submerged 1 cm below the surface of water. A video camera was mounted directly above the maze to record rat's swimming path. A tracking system was used to measure the escape latency, traveled distance and swimming speed of each rat and also the percent of distance and the time in each quadrant.
All testings began at 8:00 and each rat received eight trials of two blocks per day. Each rat was placed in the water facing the wall of the tank at one of the four designated starting points and allowed to swim and find the hidden platform located in the SW quadrant of the maze on every trial. Starting points were varied in a quasi-random fashion so that in each block, the rat started from each location once and never started from the same place on any block. During each trial, each rat was given 90 sec to find the hidden platform. If it found the platform, it was allowed to remain on it for 30 sec. If it failed to find the platform within 90 sec, it was placed on platform for 30 sec. During the first day, the position of platform remained constant. On the next day, the platform was elevated above the water surface and placed in the SE quadrant; this assessed Visio-motor coordination toward a visible platform.
Following the behavioral testing, animals were sacrificed via decapitation and their brains were removed. For the histological examination of cannula and needle placement in CA1 area (Figure 1), 100 μm thick section was taken, mounted on slides and stained with cresyl violet. The cannula track was examined for each rat. Only those animals whose cannulas were exactly placed in CA1 region (40rats) were used for data analysis.

Experimental protocol
The aim of this experiment was to assess the effect of pre-training injections of dihydrotestosterone into the CA1 region of hippocampus on MWM performance. Forty rats were divided into 4 groups (n = 10) and received vehicle (DMSO) or different doses of dihydrotestosterone (0.25, 0.5 and 1 μg/0.5 μL/side) 30 min before the training in MWM.
Statistical analysis
Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was used to examine the distribution of the data. Data obtained over training days from hidden platform tests and visible platform were analyzed by t-test for comparison between two groups and one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by Tukey's test for multiple comparisons. All results are shown as means ± SEM. In all statistical comparisons, p < 0.05 was used as the criterion for statistical significance.
Results and Discussion
The effect of dihydrotestosterone
Hidden platform trails (day 1)
Figures 2A-2E depict the results obtained from the DHT injection and the group receiving DMSO (control). A significant difference was generally found in escape latency (F = 4.502, p = 0.0065) and traveled distances (F = 3.167, p = 0.0308) between the groups (Figure 2A and 2B). No significant difference was found in swimming speed (F = 0.3864, p = 0.7632) between groups (Figure 2C).
The differences in escape latency of block one (t = 3.227, p = 0.006) and block two (t = 2.573, p = 0.0221) and also differences in traveled distances of block one (t = 2.714, p = 0.0168) between the 0.5 μg group and control group were significantly different, but differences in traveled distances of block two (t = 2.039, p = 0.0608) were not significant (Figure 2D and 2E). This result suggests that the 0.5 μg group performed better than the control group over the training. Post-hoc multiple comparisons showed that the rats treated with 0.5 μg DHT dose had significantly improved in acquisition of spatial learning compared to the control rats.

Comparison of (A) escape latency, (B) traveled distance and (C) swimming speed across training day within different groups. **p < 0.01 and *p < 0.05 indicate significant difference vs. control (DMSO). Comparison of (D) escape latency and (E) traveled distance during each block of training day between 0.5 μg/0.5μL dihydrotestosterone treated group and the control group. **p < 0.01 and *p < 0.05 indicate the difference between each block and its respective block in control group.
Probe test (day 2)
The results of probe test are shown in Figures 3A and 3B. One-way ANOVA did not reveal significant differences between the groups in escape latency (F = 0.2027; p = 0.8936) and traveled distances (F = 0.2694, p = 0.8469). The time and distance percentage that the animals spent at target quadrant was not significantly different in various groups. These results indicated that the CA1 region injection of DHT before the training was not effective in retention of memory after 24 h.
Figure 3. Comparison of (A) escape latency and (B) traveled distance during visible platform test. There were no significant differences between groups.
Visible platform trials (day 2)
There was no significant difference in performance among the groups on the visible platform day for escape latency (F = 0.9114, p = 0.4481) or for traveled distance (F = 1.036, p = 0.3920) (Figure 4A and 4B).
Figure 4. Comparison of (A) escape latency and (B) traveled distance during visible platform test. There were no significant differences between groups.
In our study, adult male rats treated with different doses of dihydrotestosterone (DHT) displayed acquisition of memory improvements with a DHT dose of 0.5 μg/0.5 μL in the MWM task.
Since there were no significant differences between the control and experimental groups with respect to the visible platform test, it can be inferred that the observed changes could not be attributed to the alterations of non-mnemonic factors such as motivational or sensory processes induced through the treatments.
The results of this study, along with the previous reports, conflicting effects of androgens on cognition, suggest that the cognitive/hormone interactions are quite complex. There are many researches on the cognitive performance of DHT effects as 5α-reduced androgens. Gonadectomy (GDX) has been shown to decrease the cognitive performance of male rats (13, 29) while systemic DHT administration is effective at enhancing the cognition of GDX rats in a variety of learning tasks (16, 17, 29-33). GDX has also been shown to reduce plasma levels of DHT and decrease the testing-training crossover latencies in the inhibitory avoidance task but DHT-replacement via silastic capsules restores performance in the inhibitory avoidance task and DHT levels of GDX rats to that of control (14) and intrahippocampal administration of DHT enhances learning in the inhibitory avoidance task compared to GDX controls (34).
Biomont et al. showed that DHT has no mnemonic effects on the improvement of working memory in the radial-arm maze water task in aged male rats (35).
Regarding our research and others, there are some possible explanations for the improvement effect of DHT.
First of all, there are many substrates where androgens may exert their effects to enhance cognitive performance. For instance, DHT binds with high affinity to androgen receptors (ARs) (15). DHT, like other androgens, can diffuse into the cell and bind with an intracellular cytosolic receptor, the androgen receptor (AR). This complex is then translocated to the cell nucleus where it activates the transcription of genes with androgen-responsive elements (ARE) in their promoters (36). Intrahippocampal administration of flutamide, an AR antagonist, can also reverse the beneficial cognitive-enhancing effects of DHT replacement in GDX male rats (37). Several reports suggest that in addition to the well-known traditional effects of androgens via the intracellular receptors (genomic receptors), there are nongenomic androgen receptors that have activational effects. These receptors maybe coupled to membrane ion channels and second messenger systems, which elicit the rapid and transient changes in neuronal excitability (22, 38, 39). Therefore, DHT as an androgen may also exert its mnemonic effects via genomic and nongenomic pathway.
Second, DHT is metabolized through 3α-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (3α-HSD) to 5α-androstane, 3α, 17β-diol (3α-diol). It is shown that Systemic 3α-diol administrations are effective at the enhancing cognition of GDX rats (13, 16, 32). In Ovariectomized rats injection of T, DHT, or 5α -androstane-3α, 17 beta-diol (3α-Diol) also enhanced cognitive performance in Y maze, inhibitory avoidance and object recognition tasks (17). Hippocampally administration of T and/or its 5α-reduced metabolites, DHT and 3α-androstanediol (3alpha-diol), in the conditioned fear and inhibitory avoidance tasks in intact and gonadectomized (GDX) androgen-replaced rats, showed that androgens enhancing effects on learning may be mediated in part by actions of 5alpha-reduced metabolites in the hippocampus (29-31, 33). However, 3α-diol was consistently elevated in each of these groups (31).
Systemic or intrahippocampal administration of 3α-diol increased the crossover latencies in inhibitory avoidance task and significantly, enhanced the cognitive performance as compared to the vehicle-administered in GDX rats (34). Furthermore, blocking the metabolism of DHT to 3α-diol through indomethacin decreased the cognitive enhancing effects of DHT in male rats (14). Therefore, it is suggested that the converting of DHT to 3α-diol could possibly explain the effect of DHT on learning and memory.
Third, there are multiple possible substrates for 3α-diols' actions. All of the androgen administration regimens employed decrease the function of GABAA receptors (GBRs) in the cortex and hippocampus suggesting that GBRs is a substrate for androgen action (33). While 3α-diol has a low affinity for ARs, it has been shown to bind to GBRs (36, 40, 41), which has also been localized to the hippocampus (42), with a high affinity. 3α-diol, which may have effects at GABAA receptors (GBRs) (36, 43) can enhance learning and memory independent of T and DHT (31). Therefore, the actions at GABAA receptors, for which the 3α-diol has a high affinity (36), may be important in mediating the androgens' mnemonic effects.
As for the fourth point, some studies have demonstrated that the androgens like DHT may have actions at N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors (NMDARs) (44), which have been localized to the hippocampus Yoneda (45). NMDA receptor subunits (NR1, NR2A and NR2B) are involved in learning and memory processes (37). DHT treatment increased the spine synapses and NMDA receptor binding in the CA1 stratum orients and radiatum of the adult male rats (46). It is also possible that 3α-diol acts at these other substrates, such as N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors or via signal transduction pathways (47-49).
Another point to ponder is that the DHT's effects to enhance the learning and memory may take place, in part, through its metabolism to 3α-diol, and its subsequent actions at estrogen receptor β (ERβ) in the hippocampus (12, 31, 43). Knocking down expressions of ERβ, were effective at decreasing learning and memory in 3α-diol replaced rats (34). It is important to note that, although there are several variants of ERβ expressed in the brain (50, 51) this research did not discern between these different types (34). Among these splice variants, ERβ1 is probably the only variant with sufficient abundance and affinity for estrogenic ligands to exert the important neural effects, although alterations in splicing following neural damage cannot yet be ruled out (52).

When my children were born, we were delighted and thankful to receive many thoughtful gifts from family and friends. Some were practical and oh-so-useful like onesies, diapers, and a crib mobile. Some were beautiful keepsake mementos like sterling silver picture frames and collectible Beatrix Potter porcelain. And, a few… were both!
My niece, who lives in just outside of London in England, recently had her first baby and she is coming home for a visit in July. So, I've been searching for "the perfect baby gift" based on my own experiences. And, what I found for her is a Max Daniel Designs baby blanket — the ultimate in luxury and practicality.
These blankets are so soft, babies love them. And, moms do, too. Because not only are these blankets the cuddliest around, they are also high-quality, machine washable, and extremely durable. Crafted in the USA from ultra-soft, double-sided plush, they measure a generous 36″x 32″ and have a buttery smooth Charmeuse satin trim ruffle that infants find irresistible.
One of my favorite patterns is the Grey Jaguar print, pictured above. This is a look that will grow with a child well beyond the baby years! In addition to the Grey Jaguar pattern, Max Daniel is known for a large selection of other wild animal prints, like Pink Snow Leopard and Tan Zebra. Or, if you prefer a more a more traditional look, there are colorful Rosebuds & Satin (shown here in Coral), playful Plush Dots, and Luxe Bunny lines.
Of course, I am not the first to "discover" these amazing blankets. Baby blankets by Max Daniel Designs have been spotted on the arms of celebrity moms such as Jennifer Garner and Nicole Kidman. They have also appeared in Marie Claire, In Style, People, US Weekly, OK!, The Insider, Daily Candy, and PopSugar. Plus, Max Daniel blankets were selected by none other than Ryan Seacrest as a "Top Pick Holiday Gift" on KIIS FM and by Mario Lopez on Extra!
The Grey Jaguar blanket retails for $76 and the Rosebuds & Satin blanket retails for $64. These two, as well as many other Max Daniel designs, are carried in over 1,000 exclusive boutiques worldwide. Contact email@example.com for information and to find a store near you, or take the easy route and simply shop online at Max Daniel Designs.
And, while you're there, don't forget to take a peek at the amazing Adult Throws by Max Daniel Designs. The line includes heavenly soft, adult sized throws measuring 72" x 60". These throws are perfect for every room in the house or for travel. In fact, they are so sumptuous, you may find yourself carrying a blanket around like Linus from The Peanuts Gang! Retail $225-$245.
Your guide to a life filled with STYLE! Susan Conforte McNeill is a wife, mother, Harper's BAZAAR Style Ambassador, Cover Girl Ambassador, and the co-founder of the literacy organization Success Won't Wait.
DISCLAIMER: No financial compensation was received in exchange for this post. I did, however, receive a sample of the Max Daniel Designs Grey Jaguar baby blanket in order to fully evaluate the product. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I believe will be good for my readers.

Melbourne - Mt Dandenong - Melbourne:
A day of ups and downs in more ways than one. The down side was the going up, the up side was the going down.
I went with a few of the Stay True boys and a couple of fast girls to do Mt Dandenong 3 ways. Forrest Elbow, Mountain Hwy from Montrose and something over the back near Kalista. Those were the bits that hurt, I was just far enough of the pace to hurt like a bastard and still not manage to hold wheels.
The downs and the flats were a different story, I took great joy in doing what I could to repay the pain, especially for the Fartlek like shenanigans of pedestrian crossing sprints.

Another downtown loft office tower is up for grabs
A suburban Detroit investor is looking to cash in on a hot market for downtown Chicago loft office buildings.
Southfield, Mich.-based Farbman Group is seeking $24 million for its 12-story tower at 209 W. Jackson Blvd., according to a source familiar with the offer.
At that price, Farbman would nearly double the $13.1 million it paid for the vintage 143,000-square-foot building in late 2011. It would also continue a trend of heightened interest from investors in nontraditional office properties downtown.
The building, which sits along the CTA tracks one block east of the Willis Tower, includes nearly 133,000 square feet of office space that is 89 percent leased by 19 different tenants. Its street-level retail component is fully leased, according to a marketing flyer for the building.
Farbman has boosted the property's operating performance over the past few years. Real estate brokerage CBRE, which is marketing the property, said its net operating income is more than $1.5 million, nearly a third of which comes from retail tenants like Panda Express and Luke's Italian Beef.
That's substantially higher than the $909,990 in net operating income the building reported in 2015, Bloomberg loan documents show.
Farbman is going to market after a string of other downtown loft office building owners posted tidy profits from trading their brick-and-timber properties in the city. Tenants have clamored for such nontraditional office space, sparking interest from deep-pocketed investors that normally pay hundreds of millions of dollars for larger office properties.
In River North, a real estate investment trust managed by Newport Beach, Calif.-based KBS Realty Advisors reached a deal earlier this month to pay $43.5 million for a seven-story loft office building at 213 W. Institute Place and an adjacent parking lot. That's about $10 million more than the seller, a joint venture of Chicago-based Ameritus Real Estate Investment Management and Boston-based real estate private-equity firm Alcion Ventures paid for the building, the lot and substantial upgrades to the property.
A few blocks away, Boston-based Spaulding & Slye Investments paid $35.3 million in November for a loft office building at 363 W. Erie St. just three years after the seller bought it for $8.5 million and upgraded the facility.
Near Farbman's office building, developer Fifield is seeking $24 million for an eight-story loft office tower it owns at 600 W. Jackson Blvd. Fifield paid $15.3 million in 2015 and said at the time it planned to put $3 million into the building and increase its office space capacity.
One recent development that could work in Farbman's favor in the sale is a $546 million renovation of the nearby Willis Tower that owner Blackstone Group announced earlier this year.
That plan for the city's tallest building, which includes new tenant lounges, outdoor space and expansion of the skyscraper's retail space, is aimed at increasing foot traffic in the area and turning it into a destination for eating, shopping and entertainment.
The largest office tenant at Farbman's property is payroll processor ADP, which occupies more than 23,000 square feet.

Move over Pinterest…there's a new sheriff in town. Meet Yummly – the easiest way to save your favorite digital recipes. Many times, I look up inspiration for family dinners online, only to get distracted by social media and other "cool" ideas I come across. Recently though – I've found a great site to store recipes I come across with zero distractions.
Yummly is very easy to use. Create an account in a matter of seconds and begin saving your recipes in a snap! For example….you spot this easy summer punch recipe of mine (which happens to be uber popular by the way) and say, "oh I'd like to try that." Or perhaps you come across the perfect holiday recipe in July and think, "oh I need to remember this one." Instead of printing it and then losing it by end of summer, store it digitally on yummly!
