Siddharta Lounge, Dubai, Review
Siddhartha Lounge, Dubai, is situated at the Grosvenor House, Dubai Marina. Although there are several dining and lounge options at Grosvenor House, Siddhartha stands out for its location and ambience.
Possible one of my most favorite bars and restaurants in Dubai – Infusing Mediterranean and Asian flavours with futuristic sounds in a modish and sophisticated ambience.
The vibe is more casual when compared to Toro Toro or Budhha Bar. It has an open air setting, overlooking Al Sufouh road, and out towards the Palm which makes it more interesting than the others. The swimming pool at the entrance and the all-white theme with dim lighting adds to the elegance. They also have an indoor seating area, which is equally classy, but with such amazing views of the Marina it is difficult to opt for the indoor seating, except during the hottest summer months.
Siddharta is stylish to casual, indoor to outdoor, daylight to night fall, it is the playground of the crème de la crème of Dubai society.
Choose to lounge around the pool, soak up the sun or just gaze at the stars.

Here are my two pics when we went recently:
In summary Siddharta Lounge, Dubai, has gorgeous venue with stunning views of The Palm and Dubai Marina. Perfect place for cocktails with friends on a Thursday evening. The venue itself is aesthetically pleasing with white furniture inside and out, cushions on the tiered stairs outside with lamps providing dim lighting. They play lounge music and also offer shisha.
Great place for date night or impressing guests in town.
Note: Siddharta Lounge will remain closed and will re-open on 1st September.

delabs: for what do you want to use the relay for.
"A Relay is an electrically operated switch. Many relays use an electromagnet to mechanically operate a switch, but other operating principles are also used, such as solid-state relays" - Wikipedia
Jim: Two door alarm settable for close or open door
delabs: there is a control signal and an output for relay, if you are using just a buzzer for alarm, no relay needed if you want to operate a big hooter or 230V lamp a relay is needed- or even a motor or solenoid to move some thing Even a Solid State Relay can be used.
Bigger loads like large motors may need drives and containers. Some even have speed control. Big doors are more difficult to open and close. safety features needed.
The picture above shows also reed relays that are used for small signals - analog and telecom. In Solid State switching also we have small signal and power switches, using mosfet or triac.

Opening a sewing machine dealers business is a rewarding experience if you have the creativity and tenacity necessary to be a successful entrepreneur. We offer nuts-and-bolts information on the startup process.
Thinking about opening a sewing machine dealers business? We tell you what you need to know to get started.
(article continues below)
How to Write a Top Quality Sewing Machine Dealers Company Business Plan
A business plan is the skeletal framework for your sewing machine dealers business's mission, goals and strategic vision.
Since lenders and investors will use your plan to gauge risk, it needs to contain industry-specific benchmarks and a detailed marketing plan.
For the sake of accuracy, you'll want to educate yourself about how to write the market analysis section of a business plan. As you prepare the market analysis section, be careful to rely on substantiated market research rather than your hopes for your sewing machine dealers business.
Check Out Competitors
Before you open a sewing machine dealers business within your community, it's essential to see how strong the competition is. We've provided the link below to help you find competitors in your area. Complete the form by entering your city, state and zip code to get a list of sewing machine dealers businesses that are close by.
Before you open up shop, make sure you know what you will offer to your customers that provides a significant advantage over your competition's offering.
Learning More About the Industry
If you want to open a sewing machine dealers business the next step is to learn as much as you can from somebody who is already in the business. If you think owners of nearby sewing machine dealers businesses will give you advice, think again. Why would they want to educate a future competitor?
But, a person who owns a sewing machine dealers business in another town will be much more likely to talk with you, given that you don't compete with them in their area. Many business owners are happy to give advice to new entrepreneurs. Our estimate is that you may have to contact many business owners to find one who is willing to share his wisdom with you.
How does one quickly and easily locate an entrepreneur who is running a sewing machine dealers business in a different locale who can assist you?
It's easy. Here's a link you can use to find a mentor outside of your area.
Entry Options for Sewing Machine Dealers Businesses
As a prospective sewing machine dealers business owner, your entry options are limited to buying a viable business or building one from scratch.
A startup gives you the ability to create a sewing machine dealers business that conforms to your personal goals and leadership style. Yet startups are also more difficult to finance because their nature is inherently risky.
Acquired sewing machine dealers businesses are known quantities - and are less risky for lenders. Although buying a business doesn't guarantee success, it substantially increases your odds of obtaining financing and achieving profitability.
Don't Forget About Franchising As an Option
You should know that your odds of achieving your top business goals immediately improve if you decide to franchise in lieu of doing everything yourself.
Prior to making the decision to open a sewing machine dealers business, you may want to investigate whether purchasing a franchise might help you avoid common entrepreneurial mistakes.
The link below gives you access to our franchise directory so you can see if there's a franchise opportunity for you. You might even find something that points you in a completely different direction.

HUNTINGDON, Pa.-The Juniata men's soccer team dropped a heart breaker to Goucher, 3-2, Saturday afternoon at Gibbel Stadium.
A minute and half into the game, Jacob Grove (Harrisburg, Pa./Central Dauphin HS) came down the right side and crossed the ball. Bass Diakhoumpa (Dakar, Senegal/Mercersburg Academy) controlled it and fired it into the top left corner to put JC in the lead.
The Gophers controlled portions of the next 18 minutes as they looked for an equalizer. In the nineteenth minute, Goucher found an equalizer on a corner via a header at the back post. There were not many shooting opportunities in the next 20 minutes, with Henry Doherty's (Brunswick, Maine / Brunswick) header being the only one.
In the 39th minute, Mark Wolf (Lebanon, Pa. / Cedar Crest) found Matt Matylewicz (York, Pa. / Central York) in the box and he calmly put it away to put JC up 2-1.
The Eagles went into the half up, 2-1. The teams were tied with three shots apiece, while the visiting Gophers had two corners to the Eagles one.
Five minutes into the second half, Diakhoumpa fired a shot on frame that the Goucher keeper managed to deny.
The Gophers looked dangerous and in the 64th minute, Jacob Owings (Hanover, Pa. / Littlestown) made diving save to preserve the lead. Two minutes later however, Goucher managed to score to tie things up at 2-2.
Owings had to deny two more shots over the next 20 minutes as the Gophers continued to attack. In the 82nd minute, Owings managed to deny the first shot but the Gophers were first to the loose ball and poked it in to make it 3-2.
Juniata had two chances in the final minute, with Diakhoumpa running on to a through ball but sending his shot just wide right of the frame. Jacob Grove's (Harrisburg, Pa. / Central Dauphin HS) final shot was saved by the keeper.
Goucher held a 14-5 edge in shots in the second half.
Juniata returns to action at Penn College, Wednesday at 7:00.

Hubble has a new page on Wasp-12,a yellow dwarf star 600 light years away. Pretty ordinary, except for its innermost planet, Wasp-12b. Wasp-12b is so close, it has a "year" that is only 26 hours long. It's also a pretty big planet, too, 1.4 Jupiters in size.
Wasp-12b is also doomed, having an orbit so close to its sun. In a few million years, the tidal forces already distorting its shape will finish their work, and break up Wasp-12b into fragments to be absorbed by the star.

Michigan, coming off of an impressive 34-5 defeat of Purdue, travels to Indiana Saturday for what could be a stiff litmus test, as the Hoosiers are undefeated on the season with lopsided wins over Purdue and Kentucky and an all-important win over Ohio State to open Big Ten Universities play.
The Hoosiers were anchored in their win over the Buckeyes with a three-try performance from junior flyhalf Lewis Shaw. He accounted for 24 points in total, slotting three conversions and a penalty. That performance is good enough to make Shaw the second-highest point scorer in the conference through just one game. Michigan flyhalf Grady Bridges is right behind him with 21 having played in two conference matches.
For Michigan, beating Purdue was a landmark victory. The Wolverines didn't split from the local men's club until 2000, so Michigan doesn't have a long history of playing collegiate rugby.
"It's first U of M team to beat Purdue, as far as my records are concerned, so that's pretty cool," said Michigan coach Matt Trenary. "I think we could have done even better, but the guys are happy and I think that's a mental battle, just because the club hasn't won that many games in the past three, four years, so definitely good for them."
But, says Trenary, Michigan isn't judging its season solely on wins and losses. And just as Michigan isn't content with the 29-point win over the Boilermakers, the team won't be content with anything less than playing really good rugby against the Hoosiers, win or lose.
"The guys have set their goals before the season, and whatever happens it's not going to change that. They still just want to play the best rugby they can play," said Trenary.
"They gave themselves a six out of 10 on this past weekend, so 34-5 win against Purdue is great, that's always good, and alumni are happy and notice that, but internally as a team, we try and set our own standard and just play the best we can play.
"You want to beat the front runner and whoever the big names are out there, but at the end of the day we try to measure ourselves against ourselves… We have a standard that we want to get to and we'll kind of know it when we get there. Right now we haven't got there."
If the Wolverines are going to pull off a road upset of Indiana, chances are they'll need to play as close to their ideal standard as possible.

10+ Frameworks For Building Web Applications In Clojure
Clojure is a powerful language, but as with any language, its true power comes through extensibility. The ability to plug in additional modules and open up functionality is key to the proper development of a Clojure application, and as such, understanding both how Clojure functions and how the various frameworks interlock is key to proper development.

Five Leg Day Hacks
If you walk into any gym and ask random people about their favorite training day, you'll get answers that are all over the place. But if you ask them about their least favorite day?
Nine times out of ten, it'll be leg day.
Leg day has an infamous reputation, and the mere mention of it instills fear into the hearts of most fitness lovers. The truth is that it should: your lower body is made up of so many big muscles that leg workouts often feel more like full body workouts. Plus, lower body workouts keep on giving even after you're done – good luck sitting on the toilet the next day!
Seriously, it has it's own memes. It has its own language. Leg day is a beast we want to help you break and own.
While we can't make leg day any easier for you, we can supply you with a few leg day hacks that will help you get the most out of your agony.
1. Use One Leg
Where do one-leggers work? IHOP.
If you laughed, you don't have a soul. Just kidding, but that politically incorrect joke is a segue way into what you should be doing. Standing on one leg.
Single leg exercises hurt big time – they require twice the work, after all – but they're great for training balance and reducing strength differences between sides.
You're probably familiar with two single leg staples: forward lunges and reverse lunges. Both work well for beginners, but there's plenty of room to grow. When you're ready for tougher moves, ramp up the hurt factor with Bulgarian split squats, TRX suspended lateral lunges, and skater hops.
2. Jump!
If the thought of jumping rope makes you dry heave so hard you just hit your head on the keyboard, here is a little motivation for you. Yeah, that's right–Van Halen's JUMP. Turn it up while we school you on jumping benefits.
It's common to associate jumping with athletics, and that makes it easy for people to write it off as too advanced or not in line with their goals. We don't want you to make that mistake.
Jumps build explosive power, improve total body coordination, and boost lower body strength. Jumping newbies can start with pogo hops and TRX squat jumps, while the more advanced crowd can head straight into box jump and lunge jump territory.
*Might as well JUMP! GO AHEAD AND JUMP!*
3. Vary Your Leg Day Exercises
Don't put all your legs in one basket. Hee hee.
You're on the right track if your leg day includes squats and deadlifts, but don't let yourself get too comfortable with the basics.
We all know and love the traditional back squat and conventional deadlift, but they can only take you so far. Spice up your squats by rotating in front squats, box squats, and goblet squats. For your deadlifts, try doing them with a sumo stance, a wide snatch grip, or from an elevated position. Varying your exercises keeps your body on its toes so your sweat is worth it.
4. Paaauusse
Type A personality? STOP IT. Chill for a sec.
Add even a single second pause to any exercise and you'll crank the difficulty up from tough to absolutely brutal. Add even longer pauses to leg day exercises and you might just spend the next few days crying.
But trust us – it'll be worth it. Pausing increases time under tension, which means more suffering for you but also more work for your muscles, and it teaches you how to explode out of weak positions.
Mix Rep Ranges on Leg Day
Low and heavy or light and high? The fitness world has gone through a phase shift of sorts over the last few years. Coaches and trainers tend to push max strength development above all else. Get as strong as an ox by all means, but don't spend all your time working with low reps.
Exercises like calf raises and step-ups are perfect candidates for higher rep ranges, so start there. High reps will break up the monotony, build strength and endurance.
If you're the masochistic type – seriously, this one is pure torture –try the occasional 20-rep squat set. Just remember to breathe or you'll be catching the gym floor with your face.
With these leg day hacks, you're going to be well on your way to building crazy size and strength across your entire lower body in no time. It's still going to be painful, but it's totally worth the reward. Need help with recovery? You know we can help you with that here.
Now post your favorite leg day meme, tear up leg day and own it.

Commentaries on this Media!
Gift givingby Jadrian
Garrett is on gift wrapping duty at the store and he hides his inability to wrap gifts under the guise that it's inefficient. While economists may see gift giving, in general, as inefficient, gift giving inefficiencies are scattered throughout television and movies (Blackish, Brooklyn 99, John Mulaney's Stand Up, Life in Pieces, and Old School). In this scene, Garrett focuses on the wasted time that it takes, beyond just getting the gift, that goes into wrapping a gift only for the wrapping to be destroyed later.

TORONTO and VANCOUVER, British Columbia (PRWEB) March 28, 2019
PwC Canada today announced Ondine Biomedical Inc. as a finalist in The Visionary category in this year's Vision to Reality (V2R) Awards. The Vision to Reality (V2R) Awards is PwC Canada's annual program aimed at recognizing and celebrating the most forward-thinking organizations in Canada. To learn more: http://www.pwc.com/ca/v2r
Ondine was nominated for its breakthrough and life-saving technology, Photodisinfection, a patented, light-activated antimicrobial system that kills bacteria, viruses, and fungi—including superbugs—of all kinds in minutes without the use of antibiotics. Ondine's technology has been deployed for several years in hospitals in British Columbia, preventing significant numbers of surgical site infections which would otherwise have resulted in patient morbidity, mortality and millions of dollars of unnecessary annual cost.
Ondine's technology directly targets the global threat of multidrug resistance. Identified by the World Health Organization as one of the top five human health crises, multidrug-resistant infections are forecasted to cause a staggering 10 million deaths and US$100 trillion economic impact annually by 2050 - more than cancer, diabetes, cholera and measles combined.
"The Ondine team is passionate about improving patient outcomes with our non-antibiotic, topical technology for treatment and prevention of multidrug resistant infections. We are honored to be recognized by PwC for our unique approach to addressing this global health issue," said Carolyn Cross, Chairman and CEO. "We would like to thank PwC for its recognition and support of Canadian innovation."
"We're thrilled to recognize our V2R Awards finalists who represent innovators of all sizes and industries. Selected by the independent panel of judges, the finalists demonstrate that innovation is thriving across every region in Canada," says Chris Dulny, Chief Innovation Officer, PwC Canada. "The Awards celebrate some of the country's best innovators and bring together a network of leaders to collaborate and share ideas. Ultimately, this type of collaboration helps make Canada a more competitive place for innovation and we're proud to be a part of that."
About Ondine Biomedical Inc.
Ondine Biomedical Inc. is a Vancouver based company dedicated to the development of non-antibiotic, anti-infective therapies for a broad-spectrum of bacterial, viral and fungal infections. Ondine's antimicrobial program utilizes a platform technology called Photodisinfection, a light-activated approach developed to provide rapid antimicrobial efficacy and reduced risk of antibiotic resistance.
Ondine's flagship universal nasal Photodisinfection has been deployed at leading Canadian hospitals for several years, where it has helped prevent hundreds of post-surgical infections and saved the facilities millions of dollars annually. A recent abstract was published which found that the impact on post spine surgery infections at Vancouver General Hospital over a period of eight years was highly significant. The results showed a 78% reduction in surgical site infection rate and found one infection was prevented for every 18 patients treated. $4.24 million was saved annually, and no adverse events were reported. As a result, nasal Photodisinfection is being recommended for routine use in all spine surgeries in Canada.
Other applications of the Photodisinfection platform are under development, including Sinuwave (TM), a Photodisinfection product to treat chronic rhinosinusitis, and an endotracheal tube Photodisinfection product designed to reduce the incidence of ventilator-associated pneumonia.

Believe it or not, spring is just around the corner. I suspect that following it will be a hot, hot summer here in the
. Which got me to thinking about what we wear
today and what they wore years ago. As a writer of historical romance, one of
the things I've needed to know is who wore what and when. US
Because we live in the south, I couldn't help think about clothing in the south. Today, here in the south, nearly everywhere you go, we have air-conditioning - our cars, our houses, our churches, our stores. But stop and think about it! There was no such a thing as air-conditioning one hundred fifty years ago. So how on earth did the men and women keep cool?
Simply truth - they couldn't. The wealthier, the more clothes they wore. Farmers and the common laborers were far luckier. The fashions of the day meant little to them, However, the gentlemen wore shirts, ties and jackets at all times. The garments were made of wool, cotton and it you where very wealthy, you might have silk shirts. The amount of perspiration had to be excessive. Add to that the fact that bathing a lot was not a common practice. Imagine a gentleman binding over your hand, the air filled with his fragrance. Or even worse, the gentleman in question, taking him in your arms to hug or kiss you.
Of course, men could always removed their jackets but what about the women. Again, the commoners, as they were called, were not stuck with an excess of clothing. First they couldn't afford all the cloth necessary for the fashionable garments, and there was too much hard work for them to do than be so restricted. But the wealthier women wore clothing made of wool, cotton or if they were very wealthy, silk. There were and are some thin weaves of fabric, especially cotton. I can name several which by today's standard are considered cool. And cotton does absorb moisture much better than our synthetic cloth. However, we are back to the concept of smell.
Most people are familiar with the corsets worn by women in the nineteenth century. They were construction of cotton (again silk if you were lucky) and full of whale bones. they were not the light weight girdles of 30 or 40 years ago. These garments were laced tight to give women that desired figure. It's no wonder they had fainting couches in a ball room. I can just imagine what dancing next to an unwashed male would do to you if you wearing one of those corsets laced as tight as they were.
During some of that time period, women also wore several petticoats, starched stiff to hold the gown away from her feet. The hoop skirts were also full of the same whale bone as in the corset. Some even contained metal. Heavy, cumbersome, and hot, hot, hot. Even toward the turn of the century the garments were heavy and the bustle added weight. Can you imagine walking around in ninety five degree weather with tight, long mutton shelves?
My mother had a swimming costume worn by a great, great grandmother after the turn of the century. It was two piece, made of wool, consisted of pantaloons, which were from the waist to below the knee, and a top which had three quarter length sleeves and was a blouson top and cover the pantaloons to the knees. Can you imagine swimming in wool and a two piece wool dress? What happens when you wash a 'wool sweater'?
A fan was an essential part of a woman's wardrobe for a whole lot of reasons. And, she too, didn't have the luxury of a lot of baths. So, she'd have her own fragrance with which to contend. Remember, indoor plumbing was still to come during most of the 19th and a good part of the 20th century. We had an outhouse on the farm in the 40's. the 1940's that is.
If we go back to the homes of wealthy southerners we find, the only cooling was the tall ceilings, huge windows, and open doors. There were no screens on the windows so on top of the heat, you also had the bugs. Sometimes you find a type of fan in the ceiling of the dining room pulled back and forth by a servant. Those fans were not to cool but to keep the bugs off the food. Nothing in other rooms.
And think about northern climates. They have hot days too, but their homes were built with low ceilings and smaller windows to help with the cold winters. They had no screens on those windows either, so the houses had to contain a few bugs, in fact maybe a lot of bugs. Can you tell I don't like bugs?
Next time I'm inclined to complain about how hot the weather is I'll have to remind myself about the conditions of years ago. At least today if I get really hot I can strip off my shorts and top, jump in a shower or take a cooling bath. Thank goodness I live today and not then.

YOU'VE probably heard musicians like Neil Young complain over the last few years about the sound quality of digital music. But thanks to a new generation of so-called audio enhancement apps, your music's sound quality doesn't have to entirely depend on your smartphone.
LouderLogic, free on iOS, is perhaps the most impressive audio enhancement app I have used. LouderLogic functions just like the iPhone's Music app and looks much like any other music-playing app, except for a large green button labeled "ALX" that turns on its "Audio Level eXtension" technology.
ALX makes tones sound much warmer and vocals seem brighter. It gave movies theater-quality sound, even on headphones. The ALX button automatically delivers this effect, but users can manually adjust the sound quality with audio equalizer controls when the phone is turned sideways.
Obviously, ALX works better with certain tracks. The app's design is a little garish, and there are some pop-up ads in the free edition. But an ad-free version is available for $2.
On Android, an equivalent app is DFX Music Player Enhancer, which is also free. The app calls itself the first to bring "professional audio quality" to Android devices, and says that, like LouderLogic, its goal is to restore some of the "lost natural depth" of music recordings.
The DFX Player works as advertised. It makes music sound livelier, the bass notes warmer, than through a typical Android music app. You can also precisely adjust audio levels and choose settings to suit different types of music. On the downside, the app's interface is a bit clunky and not as polished or easy to use as it could be.
Headquake, a free iOS app, might be the most impressive. Headquake uses a special-effects engine called Sonic Emotion to give sounds a 3-D quality. You read that right — it tries to manipulate a standard stereo music track so the music sounds as if it is coming from different parts of the room.
Like LouderLogic, the app synchronizes with the music in your iTunes collection. But it includes a large "3d" button, which activates a whole new spatial dimension to sounds: You can actually get a sense of, say, the singer in a band standing in front of you while the guitar comes from the side. You can control the effect by sliding icons on the screen to try to centralize the location of the sound and by adjusting equalizer levels for bass, midrange and treble.
But Headquake's special effect doesn't work well for all songs. With hard rock, for example, it makes midrange sounds mushy instead of clean, and singers can sound like they're singing in a toilet bowl.
For the right track, however, the effect is startling. And Headquake is free, so there's nothing to be lost by giving it a whirl.
LouderLogic, DFX Player and Headquake may not appeal to audiophiles because the processing they apply to music has such a bold effect on its sound.
On iOS, a slightly more subtle and gentle effect is offered by the free Audyssey Music Player app. The app's main trick is tuning its behavior to suit your headphones using profiles. Many of the profiles are free, but to get certain high-end profiles like Beats by Dre, you have to pay a few dollars in-app.
If all this talk of advanced music processing makes you uncomfortable, simpler audio enhancement is possible with equalizer apps like Equalizer by Audioforge ($3 on iOS) and Music Equalizer by PerfectionHolic on Android (free).
Quick Call
The fitness app experts at Runtastic have added a new dimension to their health-measuring powers: Sleep quality, via the new Sleep Better app. The app uses your phone's sensors to assess your sleep behavior to try to help you sleep better, and it's free on iOS and Android.

By insulating your home, you will keep your house warmer in the winter months but also cooler in the summer months. Insulation helps to regulate the temperature in your home throughout the year creating a more stable and comfortable environment for you to live in.Reduced costs
By improving temperature regulation in your home you will also see a reduction in your energy bills. Some people have seen up to a 25% reduction in their energy bills after insulating their home.Prevents moisture condensation in the home
An uninsulated or badly insulated home is at risk of damage from moisture condensation. When the surface temperature of a wall or roof reaches or dips below the dew point of the air, condensation will form. This condensation may sometimes be visible but it can also occur inside the wall and may be hard to detect. Insulation helps to prevent condensation by increasing the temperature of the internal and external surface making it less likely that condensation will occur and thus reducing the chance of moisture damage in your home.Improves noise cancellation
Noise from both outdoors and inside the home can be reduce with insulation. Insulation is perfect for absorbing room-to-room noise. Insulating external walls will reduce noise pollution from outside your home.Building Energy Rating
It's a cost effective way to improve your Building Energy Rating (BER) which in turn can increase the value of your home.

A 23-year-old Filipino inventor has just won a multi-thousand dollar prize for designing a cheap bamboo house that could be assembled in 4 hours.
Earl Forlales, who is from Manila, designed his "CUBO" housing as a means of solving the housing crisis in his home country. He drew inspiration for the innovative design from his grandparents' bamboo cabin outside the city.
This week, the engineering grad was given the top $64,000 prize by the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) for their Cities for Our Future competition. Forlales plans on using money to begin construction on the houses during the coming year.
Materials for the modular CUBO homes cost just $64 (£50) to manufacture—and growing the sustainable material will release 35% more oxygen than trees would, without causing soil degradation. He estimates being able to rent the housing for 0.20£ per person per day.
LOOK: These Will Be the First 3D-Printed Homes That You Can Actually Live In
"The world's cities are growing all the time and there is a real need to make sure they are safe, clean and comfortable places to live for future generations," said John Hughes, the competition's head judge and Rics president.
"There were many exciting, original designs among the submissions. However, Earl's idea stood out for its simple yet well thought through solution to the world's growing slum problem.
"As we look at our entrants, who are our next generation of leaders, I believe that real progress will be made in tackling the world's biggest issues."
See an overview video of how this design can serve as a great alternative for very low-income housing… (Note: The audio is only music, so you can turn speaker down.)

Day 97 (Australia's Mid West Coast)
The busy road continues to be a source of mood-altering events. A driver passing too close can result in fifteen minutes of dedicated cursing followed by fifteen minutes of thinking about what I would say to them if I saw them again. In contrast, as I found yesterday, an exuberant wave from an oncoming car can make my day. Beeping horns continue to confuse me. How can I distinguish an angry horn blast from a supportive one? At least some horn blasts are followed by a fist pump out the window…or was that an angry fist-wave? Some people are even too courteous. This afternoon I was belting downhill at a rate of knots, my forearms flexing from keeping the bike in a steady line, when a white ute came up beside me. And I mean right beside me. I could have casually rested my hand on the passenger window sill. 'Wanna cold drink mate?' Yeah I do, I thought, but I'd more prefer you to give me some space for my wobbling bike to occupy, because we are going to collide if you stay where you are. 'Nah, I'm alright thanks', I said. He sped off and I felt safe again.

- Epicatechin has previously been suggested to rapidly reverse alloxan diabetes in rats. we have assessed the therapeutic value of the compound in two further animal models of insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, namely streptozotocin-diabetic rats and the spontaneously diabetic BB/E rat.
- There was no indication of areversal of established diabetes in either the streptozotocin-diabetic or the spontaneously diabetic BB/E rats.
- The results indicate that much of the increase in the level of (-)-catechin observed during various processing steps may be the result of heat-related epimerization from epicatechin.
- Epicatechin effects would be beneficial in supporting the management of secondary complications of diabetes. Polyphenols were shown to be useful in the long term preservation of rat pancreatic islets in vitro under physiological condition.

What are "sacrificial virgins," you may be asking?
They are young, pre-teen and/or teenage girls, who are targeted for receiving the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccines [Gardasil®, Gardasil 9® and Cervarix®] prior to becoming sexually active under the unproven pretext of preventing contracting HPV of which there are over 100 strains, and/or cervical cancer later on in life.
This extraordinary investigative documentary film is produced in three parts:
Part I – Not for the greater good
Part II – Pain and Suffering
Sacrificial Virgins: Part III – A penny for your pain
According to the Press Release dated March 4, 2018, "Sacrificial Virgins" was honored "for investigative journalism at the Watchdog Film Festival, held in Brisbane, Australia." Furthermore, the PR went on to say,
Festival founder and director James Hyams, himself an investigative journalist, said: "Shenton's thorough, transnational investigation in search of truth and justice deserves recognition and thus the Watchdog Film Festival has awarded her and her team the Watchdog Spirit Award. Individuals such as Ms Shenton and her team play a very important role in identifying and documenting questionable practices within institutions with the hope of increasing accountability and initiating changes for the betterment of society."
The announcement of both awards was made at the screening of a special "festival cut" of Sacrificial Virgins. James Hyams added: "Joan Shenton's documentary Sacrificial Virgins questions the safety of the HPV vaccine by illustrating that many individuals correlate the onset of a disability or the death of their daughter with the vaccine. Shenton questions medical professionals about the methodology of the HPV clinical trials and develops a case that further scientific research needs to be conducted to alleviate growing concern about the risks and benefits of the HPV vaccine."

Rock Climbing Photos : Big Wall : Prowd - Solo Belay Anchor (2 of 2)
Prowd - Solo Belay Anchor (2 of 2)
This close-up picture displays a traditional rope-solo system with a dynamic addition (an alternative to the haul-bag dead-weight). The bolt on the left is a 3/8" x 2 3/4" thread-head bolt. A second hanger was installed on the bolt (and later removed) and was oriented for upward pull (opposite of the first hanger). The bolt on the right is a 5/16" machine head rivet with an RP keyhole hanger. A sling attaches extra gear (out of picture) to the belay and a red fixed line leads below. Three rope buckets contain the lead line, zip line, and fix/rap/haul line (static). The belay-end of the lead line is tied into a fig-8 and clipped to the locker on the RP hanger; it is then clipped to a locker on the lower hanger of the 3/8 bolt. A Screamer connects the lead line to the upper hanger with a generous loop of rope between the upper and lower clip-in points, to accommodate Screamer extension. The lead line is then clipped to the first piece (a rivet) with a clove-hitch on a quick-draw to keep the locker that is clipped to the upper hanger on the bolt oriented upward (you dont want slack in the system such that biners whip around in the event of a fall). The second piece (another rivet) is clipped with a Screamer as well; the real climbing lies above. This system employs the use of a Screamer in the event of any fall (i.e. the one clipped to the belay bolt). Additional Screamers and Scream-Aids can be used on individual pieces at any point on lead (as seen on the second piece; use wire-gate biners on Screamers on mid-pitch pieces). The lower end of the zip line is connected to the upper end of the static line; the lower end of the static is fixed to the belay and the tag rack/bolt kit/water bottle is clipped to the locker that joins the zip line and static line. This point is suspended from the belay with a standard fifi hook, swaged with a loop on both its top and bottom, and is ready to be pulled up at any time. A Vermin Freight Hook will also work for your tag rack and doesnt require swaging. Be sure to include a cold gold in the bolt kit/gear bag. The tag rack may be clipped at intermediate lengths in the zip line if tagging is expected within a given length of the pitch. The fifi hook/Freight Hook may be clipped to pieces mid-pitch when tagging just make sure that it doesnt interfere with your lead system. The sag in the lead line between the first and second rivets (pictured) is due to the adjustment of the clove-hitch at harness level (old-style belay device) during the lead.

After the prelims session, the Bolles School looks like the frontrunner to repeat as Florida high school class 1A state champions in both the boys and girls divisions.
The Sharks have already broken one national record with Joseph Schooling's blistering 45.90 in the 100 fly. The boys team sits atop the finals seedings in all three relays as well as three individual events, even without Schooling swimming on any of the prelims relays. The Bolles girls lead in three events of their own.
Several more notable swims:
Clara Smiddy of South Florida HEAT was 52.9 in the 100 back, a state record and easily the top seed. Smiddy's future Michigan teammate Emily Kopas sits atop the 100 breaststroke seedings with a 1:02.53 out of prelims.
Kasey Schmidt from the Bolles School cracked the 23-second barrier in the 50, taking the pole position in 22.96, and St. Andrew's junior Megan Moroney paced the field in the 200 free with a nice time of 1:47.96.
On the boys side, Tampa Prep senior Rasmus Skjaerpe is in line for two titles, grabbing the top seed in the 100 back with a 48.86. He also leads the field for tonight's 200 IM final.
Jordy Groters of the University School was 55.02 in the 100 breast and could win two events as well.
Full results are available on meet mobile. Live results can be found here.
Class 1A, which comprises Florida's smallest high schools, will compete in finals tonight starting at 5:30 Eastern Time. Stay tuned to SwimSwam.com for full finals coverage.

through the rain...
I loved how the light was highlighting some of my favorite things. I also loved how it reflected off of the "seeds" in the glass...casting shadows inside and almost looking like rain drops themselves. It's still raining today. And I'm loving it. I have to admit, though. I'm a bit down. Not because of the rain. Or the gray skies. Believe it or not, those things rejuvenate me...make me feel like I can breathe deep. Like I can rest. No...it's not the weather. I can't really pinpoint why I'm feeling melancholy. I don't think it's just one thing. It's a combination of things...or at least that's the conclusion I'm coming to... One of those things is that I'm starting school tomorrow night. And while this is a good thing...a very good thing...it's also very scary. It's the next two years of my life...on top of everything else. So...while it's good. VERY good. It's also just a bit overwhelming. And I am trying really hard to not get ahead of myself...I keep reminding myself of this. I have a feeling, if you've decided to join me on this journey, that you'll be hearing a lot about that...staying in the moment...one thing at a time...one day at a time...one moment at a time...it's my struggle, always. But I've learned that getting ahead of myself causes anxiety...and paralysis. And...it gets me nowhere. The other thing weighing heavy on my mind is the death of my friend's husband last week. His service was on Saturday...and it was beautiful. Wow...what a celebration of his life. But the whole time, as I listened to people's stories about him (the ones they could tell in church, anyway!) and as I looked at all of the pictures of him living...the more I couldn't believe that he was gone. And the more I couldn't understand why God would take him. He was young. They had an amazing marriage...really. They were so in love...even after 10 years of marriage. If anything, they were MORE in love after all these years. So...why? Why would God do that? Rhetorical, of course. But...it boggles my mind. And is probably just one of those things that I won't ever get an answer to...you know? Some things are only for God to know. They're none of our business. They're not for us to understand. Or agree with. That's why we're not God...and God is. I may think that a life was taken too soon...but God's time is different. And He took him at exactly the right time. Our days are numbered. And only God knows that number. It's up to us to just continue on this path...walking one step at a time...in faith. And trust. Hmm....some days it's harder than others, isn't it? I mentioned that I sang in the choir this past weekend. We sang good songs...the first one was so FUN. And the second one was so moving. Beautiful. We sang the first one at the beginning of service. Then toward the end of service we got up and sang the second one. As I stood on the stage...and looked out onto the congregation...my eyes found my friend. She came to church...and was sitting with her mother. And I could see...even in the dim lighting that her heart was broken...beyond broken. The sadness on her face was unbearable...and as our eyes met she gave me a little secret wave from her seat...and I waved back...and then right there on stage, I cried with her. I couldn't help myself. I feel for her so much... I want to do something that will give her hope...peace...something... But there's nothing that I can do...nothing any of us as her friends can do...other than be there for her. Love her. Call her. Pray for her. All we can do...those of us whose hearts are breaking for her, and there are many...is to just be there...and walk with her...and hold her up when she can't do it on her own...and listen. Let her vent. And cry. And yell. And cuss. And love her through it... Isaiah 43 says...2 When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze. Through. Not around. Not over. Not under. Through. We don't get a special ticket to go another route. We aren't exempt from devastation. God's word tells us WHEN YOU GO THROUGH____________...you fill in the blank. There will be trials. There will be heartache. And struggles. But His word also says that He will be with us during these times. He will be with us when the waters are threatening to drown us...or when the rivers are trying to sweep us away...or when the fire wants to consume us. And He will protect us. And comfort us. Through it all. I don't understand it. I don't like it. But I do trust God...and I know my friend does, too. Even if at the moment she's not so sure that she does... And I know that God has her in the palm of His hand...and is caring for her and loving her and carrying her through. So...there you have it. The heaviness that is hovering around me. The heaviness that I need to pray through...and move through...anyway. Because life continues on...the world keeps spinning. The good mixes in with the bad...and it's up to us to try and see God in the midst of it all.

the way you are feeling is how I felt all last week. melancholy. i could NOT understand why God would cause an earthquake that would kill so many people. Finally, I had to realize that there is always a reason. Always. Even if I don't understand. It is in times like these, where we need to trust Him more. lastly, don't rush to be "back to your normal self". sometimes it is okay to stay grieving for awhile.

Thinking of you friend.. So sorry for your loss. The scripture you chose was beautiful. There were many days I'd be gripping the steering wheel praying I'd make it through... just through... Good luck at school. So excited to hear you'll be starting a new adventure.

Thank you for words of wisdom. I know that you will be able to walk "through" this new phase of your life because Jesus is holding your hand! Keep your eyes on Him and enjoy the journey, not just the destination because life is fleeting and we may not arrive at the destination we thought we were headed to (referring to earthly things, not heavenly).
We began a journey through a trial yesterday that will take about 2-3 weeks to know how it will affect our lives in our home for years to come. I keep telling myself that whatever path God has chosen, He'll see us through!
Sorry to hear about your friend. Missed you the last few days... I'm glad to be back!

So sorry to hear about your loss, that must be difficult.
But I also want to say that I am cheering you on with school! You Go! Scared is good. I tried going back to school this fall...couldn't handle the work load. My hat is off to you.Wishing you the very best of luck!

Your posts are so inspiring to me. I totally agree that the "right" times might not be within our understandings...but to have that inner trust that we are all right no matter what is going on in our personal lives all the way up to worldly events...is a true gift, that I also strive toward. We have to experience each step wholly, even the ones that make us feel icky.

We were asked to produce and deliver a two hour live stream paying homage to the 1980's show After Dark. The discussion was about failure in the arts and featured several leading minds from the arts industry.
Project Overview
We were asked to produce and deliver a two hour live stream paying homage to the 1980's show After Dark. The discussion was about failure in the arts and featured several leading minds from the arts industry. Live streaming this debate whilst maintaining an intimate conversational feel to the proceedings
Player Design and Embedding
We developed a bespoke player to deliver content to viewers on desktop, tablet and mobile devices using HLS and HDS streaming protocols. We worked with Trinity Laban to produce lower third graphics and pre and post roll that reenforced the look and feel of the show.
Production was shared between The Audio Project and Trinity Laban in-house staff. This involved several months of careful preparation including editorial considerations, set design, lighting and sound. We opted to keep the camera operators in the room to an absolute minimum and utilised several unmanned static cameras in order not to distract from the intimate, conversational feel of the proceedings.
Social Media
Social media integration is always an important part of any live stream so we had a member of Trinity Laban's marketing team interacting live with social media users and feeding the chair with tweets to introduce to the discussion.
We provided primary and backup hardware encoders for the event providing an RTMP stream to our custom content delivery network.
On Site Internet Connectivity
We worked alongside Trinity Laban to provide the connectivity for the streaming and for the production team. Unlike many projects we work on, Trinity Laban were able to provide us with a dedicated 100mbps connection giving us plenty of headroom.
Content Delivery
All content was delivered through our custom content delivery network utilising Amazon cloud computing. There are several benefits to using Amazon's web services including reliability, scalability and server locations across the globe which helped to ensure 100% uptime for each user. We produced an adaptive bit-rate stream which allowed users to view the stream at the highest quality their connection would allow, without encountering slow buffering speeds.
It was essential for accurate statistics of the event to be provided for the live stream for Trinity Laban to analyse the effectiveness of this event as an international brand building exercise.
Statistics were given including hits, unique visitors, average length of view, viewer qualities, viewer location and live or on-demand figures.
This was a hugely successful live stream for Trinity Laban. The event made use of many of The Audio Projects's services to great effect delighting audiences across the globe.

Returning to India for the first time in six years, the 37th All India Industrial Gases Manufacturers Association (AIIGMA) Seminar commenced today at the ITC Grand Chola in Chennai.
Taking place from 1st – 3rd February, this year's event has attracted approximately 250 delegates from across the globe.
Following a well-attended welcome event on 1st February, the seminar was officially opened by AIIGMA's esteemed chief guest, Dr. K Rosaiah, the Governor of Tamil Nadu. His Excellency reassured attendees that despite challenging times, the future is bright for India and in particular the gases industry.
Dr. Rosaiah predicted that the country, which is attracting increased foreign investments, will overcome the economic turmoil that has resulted in the slowdown within the region in recent years.
This was followed by the Presidential Address of R. Kannan, President of AIIGMA, who warmly welcomed both delegates and the event's sponsors alike and described how the theme for this year's event – 'Challenges for Today and Scope for Tomorrow' – is a topic that would be touched upon throughout the day.
The morning's technical session featured presentations from Anil Kumar, of Mack Valves, who examined the complexities of oxygen service within cryogenic valves. This was followed by a presentation on balanced valve technology and its significance in high pressure cylinder filling, presented by Ian Davies of Hale Hamilton. The final morning presentation focused on nuclear power packs without radiation and was presented by Dr. M. Srinivasan, formerly associate director at the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre.
The afternoon sessions saw insightful presentations on nitrogen gas for food preservation, by Dr. Pillaiyar Paramasivam, and information on the Companies Act – highlighting the importance of loans, investments, deposits and borrowings for businesses in India.
The final session for the day saw K. R. Sahasranam of Popular Carbonic speak on ASU improvements and cylinder filling through tanks, which was followed by a talk on the high pressure storage of gases, presented by P. M. Samvatsar, of Everest Kanto Cylinder Ltd. A spotlight was then cast on ASU model selection and the development of the gas market by Mr. XIAO of Suzhou Xinglu Air Separation.
The day was concluded by a presentation on the provisions of gas cylinder rules (2004) with the latest amendments by Ashendra Singh, Controller of Explosives, Nagpur.
The evening will see AIIGMA host it's own cultural evening, where delegates will be treated to dinner and entertainment within the hotel.
A full event review will follow in the upcoming March edition of gasworld magazine.

You will realize that many people have passion for fish and other small water animals. It is essential to note that this has been made easy because you can have what you want. It is necessary to keep in mind that having an aquarium requires a person to know some basic things. There are two types of aquaria that are known to people. The tropical and the cold water aquaria. One is supposed to know that the tropical type can contain a number of fishes. This particular one is has a high variety of fish species. The cold water one, on the other hand, has low stocking density as well as less variety of fish. It is important to know that there are basic things that you must have so as to set up an aquarium. It is essential to know that the aquarium will need proper maintenance once it is set. You will realize that there are some things that you need to make this happen. Here is a guideline that you need to know.
It is necessary to have a tank. It is required that you get something that is big enough to accommodate many fishes. It is essential to note that there are many designs and shapes that are there for one to select. One is required to have the rectangular shaped aquarium since they are considered the best due to enough space. The reason behind this is the proper ventilation and movement of gases. The other thing that you should know is that the bigger devices provide proper water conditions for the fish. The hood is also an important aspect of the aquarium that you are required to learn about. It provides lighting as well as helping to prevent fish from jumping out as they will normally do at times. It is advisable to know that the aquarium need filters as well. The are critical components that play a role in en filters ensuring that waste materials are eliminated from the aquarium. When the filters are not there; the fish are likely to die as a result of waste accumulation.
It required that you learn about the substrate as well. The substrates plays a role in making the aquarium beautiful.You are supposed to know that there are several materials that can be used as substrates. Pea gravel, silica sand, and water sand are some of the materials that are used here. It is essential to note that that heater is also important here. It is necessary to know that fish which are used to the tropical temperatures will only survive when the conditions are maintained, and that is why you need the heater.

Don't Sacrifice Safety or Aesthetics With DIY Motorcycle Customization
We are living in the age of DIY — Do It Yourself, for the uninitiated. For the most part, DIY projects are an excellent way to save money on a product or service that is easy enough to handle. However, when it comes to Harley customizing, or adjusting any motorcycle, the stakes are much higher than a failed window planter or a ruined desk lamp. Custom motorcycle builders enjoy gainful employment for one very good reason, and that is the fact that motorcycle customization isn't easy. Whether you want to adjust your motorcycle for a disability, or just for looks, there are three big reasons why you should leave any and all customizations to the professionals.
Adding custom motorcycle parts to a bike can be, for some people, a lot like getting tattoos. You get just one at first,

..oh yes you are, Sepp, you conniving, dissembling, manipulative, morally bankrupt crook.
One of the most appropriate definitions of a bazaar is "a permanent merchandising area, marketplace, or street of shops where goods and services are exchanged or sold"
During a week of jawdropping arrogance by the Godfather of football, Blatter astonished the world by reacting to some very pertinent questions about the suspended executives, allegations of bribery, incriminating emails from the FIFA general secretary and more by shouting at the assembled press conference that "We are not in a bazaar here, we are in FIFA house" His use of the phrase "FIFA House" turned my stomach, implying it was some cathedral or similar holy place of worship. What he was actually saying was: please feed me only the planted easy questions and I will ignore any tough ones.
Blatter's powerbase ( and many of his executive cronies) is ironically based on the apparent democracy of the organisation. The cold fact is that each football association has one equal vote, so Germany with a population of 90 million has as much clout as Anguilla, a coral island in the Caribbean, with a population of 8000 and some goats.
Most importantly though is that each association has it's individual officials and they will need to attend all the various congresses, meetings, piss ups and pub morning drives that FIFA wants to organise. Consequently, some guy whose ordinary level of ambition would be running a small fishing tackle shop in American Samoa, for example, gets to fly first class and stay in all the best hotels, is guaranteed the best seats at the World Cup (and the Olympics). All he needs to do is keep his mouth shut, support Sepp Blatter and Jack Warner ( the suspended CONCANAF president) and feign amnesia about any brown envelopes stuffed with Swiss Francs that get pushed under his hotel room door.
Even if they were not being bribed directly, they are still in line for plenty of kick backs and "fact finding trips" from sponsors, countries seeking the awarding of tournaments, TV rights, travel concessions and not forgetting the opportunity to access thousands of tickets for major football tournaments.
The whistleblowing American FIFA General Secretary, Chuck Blazer, has been threatened with the sack after he encouraged the 25 Caribbean football associations to hand back any money from the suspended Bin Hamman given as bribes to influence the presidential vote. Here is the telling thing: five of the associations said they REJECTED the offer of $40,000 another fourteen said that they did NOT RECEIVE an offer of a bribe. The lack of consistency says two things: firstly Jack Warner didnt have time to tell them what to say and secondly the offer was made. The full story is here in the Telegraph.
The whole of FIFA is corrupt and it is incredible that they have been allowed to get away with so much for so long. One very interesting web site is here, called transparency in Sport and is the output of the journalist, Andrew Jennings. I suppose it will only ever change when they get some real football people on the executive…or will it?

1. Leak Reveals Soros Network's List of 'Reliable Allies' in EU Parliament
Leaked documents listing hundreds of EU parliament members that the George Soros network considers "reliable allies" should raise alarm bells across Europe, says Hungary.
The list, which includes 226 MEPs including former President of the European Parliament Martin Schulz, seven vice-presidents, and a number of committee heads, coordinators, and quaestors, was circulated within the billionaire open borders campaigner's Open Society Foundations group, and revealed by DCLeaks.
"If this report threatened only Hungary, it wouldn't be a problem. The Hungarian government has grown accustomed to countering the groundless accusations and false information used by the proponents of this radical open society agenda. But this time it's not just Hungary. It endangers the future of Europe as a whole," warned Dr. Zoltán Kovács, Hungary's secretary of state for Public Diplomacy."
2. Manhattan terror attack updates
Jihadi's name is Sayfullo Habibullaevic Saipov, and is described by people who knew him as "a very nice guy."
Jihadi yelled "Allah hu ackbar" as he attacked and had the uniform standard facial hair of the Islamic jihadi.
Senator Graham explains that President Donald Trump understands we are in a religious war:
Jihadi was in US on "Diversity Visa". A note left behind in the truck pledged allegiance to the Islamic State in Arabic, and an Islamic State flag was in the rental truck.

4. Tunisia: Suspected Islamist stabs two police near parliament
According to the Interior Ministry, the attacker was known to authorities and said after the aggression that he viewed the police as "tyrants."
One of the policemen was wounded in the neck and treated in hospital, while the other received light wounds, the statement added.
5. Italy expels Kosovo radical imam for security reasons
A Muslim religious leader from Kosovo was expelled from Italy for posing threat of national security, according to Italian media.
The imam identified as Idriz Idrizovic, 39, was deported from the city of Lecco in the northern Lombardy region, where he lived since 2008, at the order of the Italian Interior Ministry, according to Ansa news agency. The man was allegedly linked to other Muslim preachers from the Balkans, who are believed to support an extremist view of religion.
6. Egyptian lawyer: It's a "national DUTY" to rape girls wearing ripped jeans
AN EGYPTIAN lawyer sparked outrage after he said it was his 'patriotic and national duty' to harass and rape young girls who wear revealing clothes.
Nabih al-Wahsh, a prominent conservative, said women wearing clothing such as ripped jeans should be punished.
He said: 'Are you happy when you see a girl walking down the street with half of her behind showing?'
'I say that when a girl walks about like that, it is a patriotic duty to sexually harass her and a national duty to rape her.'

A new Islamic inspired children's playground in Berlin received a largely positive response from locals on Wednesday.
The playground in the Neukolln district, which is still under construction, follows a bazaar theme with the roof of the playhouse shaped like the dome of Mosque complete with a crescent moon and four minarets.
The feedback has been broadly positive with many hoping that it would make Muslim children and families feel more integrated, but some believe that tax payer's money should not be used to fund religion related projects.

Congratulations! You've successfully served your three year period of bankruptcy and have been discharged, so now what? You've definitely taken the most appropriate actions to deal with your financial problems by filing for bankruptcy, and all your debts are well behind you now. Keep in mind though, there's still a considerable amount of work required to get your finances back on track. The leading issue that discharged bankrupts face is their capability to borrow money, and the main reason for this is their poor credit rating.
For the past three years, you've had no debts to pay back so your credit history has nothing to show besides a bankruptcy mark against your name. There's been no movement on your credit report, so an empty page will make financial institutions hesitant in lending money to you purely because they can't analyse your repayment habits. Rebuilding your credit history is the best way to get your finances back on the right track, and make your recovery process as smooth as possible.
How you can repair your credit report after discharge?
Given that lenders haven't had the ability to ascertain your financial management skills for the past 3 years, you will need to start exhibiting healthy financial habits. Here's a list of ways in which you can do this
- Regular employment
Obtaining steady and ongoing employment is an effective way to enhance your financial security and show loan providers that you have a regular income stream. Stable employment will enable you to increase your savings and enhance your overall financial situation, leading to a better credit rating.
- Increase your savings balance
Your savings account is an asset, so increasing your savings balance with time will display to lenders that you are financially reliable and are capable of making loan repayments. By transferring money into a specialised savings account every month, even a small amount, will improve your credit history.
- Limit your credit applications
Every time you apply for a line of credit, it is documented on your credit history, so lots of credit applications can adversely impact your credit history. After being discharged, it's essential that you are pragmatic and careful about the types of credit you apply for to increase your chances of approval. It's best to make an application for just one line of credit at a time, and keep in mind that secured loans and options with a guarantor or joint accounts will increase the likelihood of approval.
- Think about a term deposit
If you've been able to save money during the course of your bankruptcy period, consider putting some of it into a term deposit account. Not only will you accumulate interest and boost your overall financial situation, it will additionally show lenders that you are financially reliable. As a result, your chances of acquiring a loan will be increased which leads to an improved credit rating.
- Always make repayments on time
One of the most important things you can do as a discharged bankrupt is to make any type of repayment on time. Regardless of whether it's your electricity, rent, or even a secured loan in your name, making these repayments on time will certainly improve your credit history and increase the confidence that lending institutions have in your financial management skills.
- Don't be afraid to talk with lending institutions
If you want to request a line of credit after your bankruptcy period, or discover what types of options are available to you, don't be afraid to speak to banks or other financial institutions to review your situation. They are in the best position to advise of your eligibility, and give information on what options would work best for your individual situation.
Be careful with credit repair firms
There are lots of credit repair firms that will make all sorts of promises to improve your credit record. While some of them are useful in disbuting any incorrect listings on your credit history, they may not be able to do anything else to improve your credit record. The Government's MoneySmart website (https://www.moneysmart.gov.au/) advises discharged bankrupts to be "very careful" of these companies because they "may not always be able to do what they claim they can".
If you need any expertise in repairing your credit history, or have any inquiries regarding your recovery process after bankruptcy, it's always best to seek advice from qualified professionals.
