12 Week Self Remodel – Hearing Is BelievingMarch 9, 2020 Comments Off on 12 Week Self Remodel – Hearing Is Believing Relationships Tom Burden
While everyone else is doing a 'New Year New You' program (there are thousands of them), we offer you a different path. One often less taken. We present to you the 12 Week Self Remodel. Each Monday for 12 weeks we'll post one thing you can change in your life, easily, to help create the life you really want. Each one is a small adjustment to your existing life, small stepping stones to a better you. As such, they take little effort or time to accomplish. Each one will be posted later in the day, intentionally. Your work week may start on Monday, but the Reclaimed week starts on Tuesday. Less competition for your time, and less stress (also something to look forward to on your Monday commute). So, let's begin.
Week 9 – Open Your Ears and Expand Your World
It's been said that most people don't communicate, they wait their turn to talk. While I don't often do this, it's been my experience that some people are simply listening for their turn to talk, not truly hearing what I have been saying. I'm sure it's happened to you, too. So let me ask the obvious question – how do you feel when it happens? Kind of like you're not really there, right? How often do you think it happens that you didn't really acknowledge?
The most important question of all – how often do you do it? Be honest.
Fact is we all do, and far more often than we realize. It's growing increasingly more common as we become more and more disconnected from each other. It strange to say that – given we are more (electronically) connected than ever before. Which is in large part the problem. Do you really notice the barista behind the counter giving you your morning brew? What was it she said to you? How often to you really actually acknowledge the people around you, even when they are talking to you? Especially when they are talking to you. I'm betting you want to revise your original answer now. As I said, we all do it.
Problem is, we do it to our family and friends, too. To our loved ones, and coworkers. For most of us, it's become the norm, even if we're not yet ready to acknowledge it. Whether you're willing to admit it fully to yourself or others, you do know it happens.
I'm going to challenge you – and it will be a challenge. Once a day, select one person and open your ears to them. For no less than 30 minutes, listen to what they have to say. Speak only when necessary, instead listen to them. Hear the tone of their voice, the words they choose, the cadence of their speech. All of these are part of their conversation with you, parts you often don't take in as you half listen to what's being said, waiting your turn. For no less than 30 minutes, don't wait your turn. Give it away. Carry a conversation, instead of exchanging turns.
At some point you may find you even notice when your barista gives you a genuine smile and says they like your shirt. The strangest thing of all, you might actually find a smile is an adequate response.
Let us know how you're doing on the Self Remodel in the comments below.

How much do mortgage brokers make? Working as a mortgage broker in the financial business can be a rewarding experience. As a mortgage broker, depending on your region and degree of expertise, you might earn a gratifying commission-based compensation. Mortgage brokers help customers get mortgages or house loans and close them. They act as go-betweens for borrowers and lenders, collaborating with loan officers, underwriters, title companies, and real estate brokers.
How much do mortgage brokers make?
In the United States, mortgage brokers make an average of $92,262 per year, however, this amount varies depending on criteria such as expertise and geographic region.
Mortgage brokers generate money in a unique way compared to many other professions. Instead of receiving a regular salary, most mortgage brokers are paid a commission for each loan transaction they execute, which is determined by the following factors:
Mortgage brokers typically charge a 2.25% fee on each loan, although they are not allowed to charge more than 3% of the loan amount under federal rules.
Broker fees
Brokers can work for either borrowers or lenders, thus their fees are determined by the terms of their contracts. The commission paid by lenders is typically larger than that paid by borrowers. Lenders generally pay between 0.5% and 2.75% of the entire loan amount as compensation to mortgage brokers. Mortgage brokers often charge an origination fee of less than 3% of the loan amount when borrowers pay the commission.
Commission rates
Mortgage brokers frequently base their compensation rates on the housing market in their area.
In a more competitive housing market, for example, mortgage brokers can need to offer lower commission rates in order to represent themselves as a better and more economical option than other mortgage brokers.
Average mortgage broker salary
Nine states have an average mortgage broker income higher than the national average. Massachusetts is at the top of the list, followed by Hawaii and Connecticut in second and third place, respectively. Connecticut outperforms the national average by 4.7%, while Massachusetts continues the trend with a $5,278 (6.8%) increase above the national average of $77,202.
By state
- New York: $84,680 per year.

- Mississippi: $66,895 per year.
- Missouri: $66,739 per year.
- Florida: $65,221 per year.
- North Carolina: $62,104 per year.

What do mortgage brokers do?
The job of a mortgage broker include assisting people in obtaining and closing mortgages or house loans, which includes the following duties:
Researching loan alternatives, keeping track of new mortgage offerings, and locating products and prices that fit their clients' needs are all things they do. They frequently deal with lenders to negotiate rates and conditions, as well as confirm loan information with underwriters. Mortgage brokers also check their customers' credit reports, verify their claimed income and spending, and interact with clients and real estate agents to arrange loan details and paperwork.
Although mortgage brokers can operate by themselves, the majority of them work for mortgage brokerage businesses. They build contacts with lenders and design mortgage packages to offer borrowers as they acquire expertise. The majority of seasoned mortgage brokers determine compensation rates for each lender.
Mortgage brokers must be licensed since they work in a highly regulated financial business. These professionals, whether self-employed or hired by a business, are responsible for maintaining their license current for the duration of their employment.
Mortgage brokers must also develop strong networks in order to continue receiving new business and clients. Most of them have connections with real estate brokers who can suggest them to prospective consumers looking for house loans.
How to become a mortgage broker
Here's how to become a mortgage broker.
Complete a bachelor's degree
First, obtain a bachelor's degree from an authorized university. Consider taking a course in finance, economics, or accounting to learn the foundations you'll need as a mortgage broker. A degree in business or real estate can also assist you to learn the fundamentals of the sector.
Complete a pre-licensure class (licensed mortgage broker)
Then, before seeking a job, participate in the pre-licensure training that all aspiring mortgage brokers must finish. This basic curriculum consists of 20 hours of classroom training on topics such as mortgage origination, mortgage broker ethics, and federal and state laws. Pre-licensure programs for mortgage brokers are regulated by the National Mortgage Licensure System.
Pass the licensing exam
Take the license exam given by the National Mortgage Licensure System after finishing the pre-licensure curriculum. The exam can be taken at any time during the year and includes questions for both national and state test takers. To obtain your Mortgage Loan Originator license, you must pass the test and pass background and credit checks. To work in your region, check with your state's licensing agency to see whether you need to satisfy any extra criteria.
To work as a mortgage broker, you must have a current license, which you must renew on a regular basis. The majority of MLO licenses are only valid for a year.
Build a resume
A resume that shows your education, applicable experience, and MLO license is required to apply for mortgage broker positions. Include applicable courses and accolades on your resume/CV, as well as the date and location of your MLO license.
Complete on-the-job training
After obtaining an MLO license, you can begin working as an entry-level mortgage broker. You can be required to undergo a training program when you initially start. Most mortgage broker training programs are meant to teach new recruits about internal procedures and workflows and last a few weeks.
Cultivate important skills
Take advantage of every chance to develop the abilities you'll need to thrive as a mortgage broker as you acquire experience. To work successfully with customers, you'll need good interpersonal skills to develop connections with lenders and real estate agents, as well as strong decision-making abilities.
Continuing education programs can help you acquire technical skills and new mortgage laws during your career. Each year, you must complete a specific amount of course hours to renew your license as a mortgage broker.
Build a strong network
You should also take advantage of every chance to strengthen your ties with real estate agents so that you can continue to attract clients on a regular basis. Attending networking events in your region might help you meet real estate agents. For example, if you build a relationship or partnership with a lender or real estate agent, you could find yourself with a steady flow of clients.
Common questions
Questions regarding mortgage broker salaries.
What does a mortgage lender earn in comparison?
Even with multiple years of experience, the typical pay range for a mortgage lender is quite consistent (about $21,397), implying that there are little chances for improved income or promotion regardless of region.
Do mortgage brokers change commission?
Yes. Mortgage brokers charge a commission for the services they provide.
What is a loan officer?
A loan officer is a bank, credit union, or another financial institution official who assists borrowers with the loan application process.

The New Cyber Threat that will "Bash" the "Heartbleed"
Computer users nationwide were led to believe that their largest issue to face had been the occurrence of the "Heartbleed" bug that had occurred in April of 2014. "Heartbleed" is an open-source encryption bug that resulted in putting millions of computer users at risk due to that fact that it coincided with OpenSSL software, which is utilized in about two-thirds of the sites found on the web.
However, on Wednesday September 24th, insight on a new security bug had been released to the public by cyber experts. This particular bug has been discovered in "Bash" which is software that possesses the function to control the command prompt on many Linux computers. Therefore with the creation of this new bug, hackers are gaining the ability to take utter control of a system.
The current "Bash" issue is one of no comparison to the previous "Heartbleed" bug due to the fact that hackers were limited to only spying on computers, where as now they are able to take matters into their own hands.
According to the Boston Insider, "Tod Beardsley, an engineering manager at cybersecurity firm Rapid7, warned that the bug was rated a "10" for severity, meaning it has maximum impact, and rated "low" for complexity of exploitation, meaning it is relatively easy for hackers to launch attacks." Beardsley also states the urgency of deploying the patch due to the level of access these hackers have now reached.

43 He led me to the gate, the one that faces east, 2 and I saw the glory of the God of Israel coming from the east. His voice sounded like the roar of a huge torrent, and the earth shone with his glory. 3 The vision I saw was like the one I had seen when he[a] came to destroy the city, and like the ones I had seen by the Chebar Canal. I fell facedown. 4 The glory of the Lord entered the temple by way of the gate that faced east. 5 Then the Spirit lifted me up and brought me to the inner court, and the glory of the Lord filled the temple.
6 While the man was standing beside me, I heard someone speaking to me from the temple. 7 He said to me, "Son of man, this is the place of my throne and the place for the soles of my feet, where I will dwell among the Israelites forever. The house of Israel and their kings will no longer defile my holy name by their religious prostitution and by the corpses[b] of their kings at their high places.[c] 8 Whenever they placed their threshold next to my threshold and their doorposts beside my doorposts, with only a wall between me and them, they were defiling my holy name by the detestable acts they committed. So I destroyed them in my anger. 9 Now let them remove their prostitution and the corpses of their kings far from me, and I will dwell among them forever.
10 "As for you, son of man, describe the temple to the house of Israel, so that they may be ashamed of their iniquities. Let them measure its pattern, 11 and they will be ashamed of all that they have done. Reveal[d] the design of the temple to them—its layout with its exits and entrances—its complete design along with all its statutes, design specifications, and laws. Write it down in their sight so that they may observe its complete design and all its statutes and may carry them out. 12 This is the law of the temple: All its surrounding territory on top of the mountain will be especially holy. Yes, this is the law of the temple.
The Altar
13 "These are the measurements of the altar in units of length (each unit being the standard length plus three inches):[e] The gutter is 21 inches[f] deep and 21 inches wide, with a rim of nine inches[g] around its edge. This is the base[h] of the altar. 14 The distance from the gutter on the ground to the lower ledge is 3½ feet,[i] and the width of the ledge is 21 inches. There are 7 feet[j] from the small ledge to the large ledge, whose width is also 21 inches. 15 The altar hearth[k] is 7 feet high, and four horns project upward from the hearth. 16 The hearth is square, 21 feet[l] long by 21 feet wide. 17 The ledge is 24½ feet[m] long by 24½ feet wide, with four equal sides. The rim all around it is 10½ inches,[n] and its gutter is 21 inches all around it. The altar's steps face east."
18 Then he said to me, "Son of man, this is what the Lord God says: These are the statutes for the altar on the day it is constructed, so that burnt offerings may be sacrificed on it and blood may be splattered on it: 19 You are to give a bull from the herd as a sin offering to the Levitical priests who are from the offspring of Zadok, who approach me in order to serve me." This is the declaration of the Lord God. 20 "You are to take some of its blood and apply it to the four horns of the altar, the four corners of the ledge, and all around the rim. In this way you will purify the altar and make atonement for it. 21 Then you are to take away the bull for the sin offering, and it must be burned outside the sanctuary in the place appointed for the temple.
22 "On the second day you are to present an unblemished male goat as a sin offering. They will purify the altar just as they did with the bull. 23 When you have finished the purification, you are to present a young, unblemished bull and an unblemished ram from the flock. 24 You are to present them before the Lord; the priests will throw salt on them and sacrifice them as a burnt offering to the Lord. 25 You will offer a goat for a sin offering each day for seven days. A young bull and a ram from the flock, both unblemished, are also to be offered. 26 For seven days the priests are to make atonement for the altar and cleanse it. In this way they will consecrate it[o] 27 and complete the days of purification. Then on the eighth day and afterward, the priests will offer your burnt offerings and fellowship offerings on the altar, and I will accept you." This is the declaration of the Lord God.
The Prince's Privilege
44 The man then brought me back toward the sanctuary's outer gate that faced east, and it was closed. 2 The Lord said to me, "This gate will remain closed. It will not be opened, and no one will enter through it, because the Lord, the God of Israel, has entered through it. Therefore it will remain closed. 3 The prince himself will sit in the gate to eat a meal before the Lord. He is to enter by way of the portico of the gate and go out the same way."
4 Then the man brought me by way of the north gate to the front of the temple. I looked, and the glory of the Lord filled his temple. And I fell facedown. 5 The Lord said to me, "Son of man, pay attention; look with your eyes and listen with your ears to everything I tell you about all the statutes and laws of the Lord's temple. Take careful note of the entrance of the temple along with all the exits of the sanctuary.
The Levites' Duties and Privileges
6 "Say to the rebellious people, the house of Israel, 'This is what the Lord God says: I have had enough of all your detestable practices, house of Israel. 7 When you brought in foreigners, uncircumcised in both heart and flesh, to occupy my sanctuary, you defiled my temple while you offered my food—the fat and the blood. You[p] broke my covenant by all your detestable practices. 8 You have not kept charge of my holy things but have appointed others to keep charge of my sanctuary for you.'
9 "This is what the Lord God says: No foreigner, uncircumcised in heart and flesh, may enter my sanctuary, not even a foreigner who is among the Israelites. 10 Surely the Levites who wandered away from me when Israel went astray, and who strayed from me after their idols, will bear the consequences of their iniquity. 11 Yet they will occupy my sanctuary, serving as guards at the temple gates and ministering at the temple. They will slaughter the burnt offerings and other sacrifices for the people and will stand before them to serve them. 12 Because they ministered to the house of Israel before their idols and became a sinful stumbling block to them, therefore I swore an oath[q] against them"—this is the declaration of the Lord God—"that they would bear the consequences of their iniquity. 13 They must not approach me to serve me as priests or come near any of my holy things or the most holy things. They will bear their disgrace and the consequences of the detestable acts they committed. 14 Yet I will make them responsible for the duties of the temple—for all its work and everything done in it.
The Priests' Duties and Privileges
15 "But the Levitical priests descended from Zadok, who kept charge of my sanctuary when the Israelites went astray from me, will approach me to serve me. They will stand before me to offer me fat and blood." This is the declaration of the Lord God. 16 "They are the ones who may enter my sanctuary and approach my table to serve me. They will keep my mandate. 17 When they enter the gates of the inner court they are to wear linen garments; they must not have on them anything made of wool when they minister at the gates of the inner court and within it. 18 They are to wear linen turbans on their heads and linen undergarments around their waists. They are not to put on anything that makes them sweat. 19 Before they go out to the outer court,[r] to the people, they must take off the clothes they have been ministering in, leave them in the holy chambers, and dress in other clothes so that they do not transmit holiness to the people through their clothes.
20 "They may not shave their heads or let their hair grow long, but are to carefully trim their hair. 21 No priest may drink wine before he enters the inner court. 22 He is not to marry a widow or a divorced woman, but may marry only a virgin from the offspring of the house of Israel, or a widow who is the widow of a priest. 23 They are to teach my people the difference between the holy and the common, and explain to them the difference between the clean and the unclean.
24 "In a dispute, they will officiate as judges and decide the case according to my ordinances. They are to observe my laws and statutes regarding all my appointed festivals, and keep my Sabbaths holy. 25 A priest may not come near a dead person so that he becomes defiled. However, he may defile himself for a father, a mother, a son, a daughter, a brother, or an unmarried sister. 26 After he is cleansed, he is to count off seven days for himself. 27 On the day he goes into the sanctuary, into the inner court to minister in the sanctuary, he is to present his sin offering." This is the declaration of the Lord God.
28 "This will be their inheritance: I am their inheritance. You are to give them no possession in Israel: I am their possession. 29 They will eat the grain offering, the sin offering, and the guilt offering. Everything in Israel that is permanently dedicated to the Lord will belong to them. 30 The best of all the firstfruits of every kind and contribution of every kind from all your gifts will belong to the priests. You are to give your first batch of dough to the priest so that a blessing may rest on your homes. 31 The priests may not eat any bird or animal that died naturally or was mauled by wild beasts.
The Sacred Portion of the Land
45 "When you divide the land by lot as an inheritance, set aside a donation to the Lord, a holy portion of the land, 8⅓ miles[s] long and 6⅔ miles[t] wide. This entire region will be holy. 2 In this area there will be a square section[u] for the sanctuary, 875 by 875 feet,[v] with 87½ feet[w] of open space all around it. 3 From this holy portion,[x] you will measure off an area 8⅓ miles long and 3⅓ miles[y] wide, in which the sanctuary, the most holy place, will stand.[z] 4 It will be a holy area of the land to be used by the priests who minister in the sanctuary, who approach to serve the Lord. It will be a place for their houses, as well as a holy area for the sanctuary. 5 There will be another area 8⅓ miles long and 3⅓ miles wide for the Levites who minister in the temple; it will be their possession for towns to live in.[aa]
6 "As the property of the city, set aside an area 1⅔ miles[ab] wide and 8⅓ miles long, adjacent to the holy donation of land. It will be for the whole house of Israel. 7 And the prince will have the area on each side of the holy donation of land and the city's property, adjacent to the holy donation and the city's property, stretching to the west on the west side and to the east on the east side. Its length will correspond to one of the tribal portions from the western boundary to the eastern boundary. 8 This will be his land as a possession in Israel. My princes will no longer oppress my people but give the rest of the land to the house of Israel according to their tribes.
9 "This is what the Lord God says: You have gone too far,[ac] princes of Israel! Put away violence and oppression and do what is just and right. Put an end to your evictions of my people." This is the declaration of the Lord God. 10 "You are to have honest scales, an honest dry measure,[ad] and an honest liquid measure.[ae] 11 The dry measure[af] and the liquid measure[ag] will be uniform, with the liquid measure containing 5½ gallons[ah] and the dry measure holding half a bushel.[ai] Their measurement will be a tenth of the standard larger capacity measure.[aj] 12 The shekel[ak] will weigh twenty gerahs. Your mina will equal sixty shekels.
The People's Contribution to the Sacrifices
13 "This is the contribution you are to offer: Three quarts[al] from six bushels[am] of wheat and[an] three quarts from six bushels of barley. 14 The quota of oil in liquid measures[ao] will be one percent of every[ap] cor. The cor equals ten liquid measures or one standard larger capacity measure,[aq] since ten liquid measures equal one standard larger capacity measure. 15 And the quota from the flock is one animal out of every two hundred from the well-watered pastures of Israel. These are for the grain offerings, burnt offerings, and fellowship offerings, to make atonement for the people." This is the declaration of the Lord God. 16 "All the people of the land must take part in this contribution for the prince in Israel. 17 Then the burnt offerings, grain offerings, and drink offerings for the festivals, New Moons, and Sabbaths—for all the appointed times of the house of Israel—will be the prince's responsibility. He will provide the sin offerings, grain offerings, burnt offerings, and fellowship offerings to make atonement on behalf of the house of Israel.
18 "This is what the Lord God says: In the first month, on the first day of the month, you are to take a young, unblemished bull and purify the sanctuary. 19 The priest is to take some of the blood from the sin offering and apply it to the temple doorposts, the four corners of the altar's ledge, and the doorposts of the gate of the inner court. 20 You are to do the same thing on the seventh day of the month for everyone who sins unintentionally or through ignorance. In this way you will make atonement for the temple.
21 "In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, you are to celebrate the Passover, a festival of seven days during which unleavened bread will be eaten. 22 On that day the prince will provide a bull as a sin offering on behalf of himself and all the people of the land. 23 During the seven days of the festival, he will provide seven bulls and seven rams without blemish as a burnt offering to the Lord on each of the seven days, along with a male goat each day for a sin offering. 24 He will also provide a grain offering of half a bushel[ar] per bull and half a bushel per ram, along with a gallon[as] of oil for every half bushel. 25 At the festival that begins on the fifteenth day of the seventh month,[at] he will provide the same things for seven days—the same sin offerings, burnt offerings, grain offerings, and oil.
Rebuilding, Renewal, Restoration… so many words could be used to describe the final chapters of Ezekiel; but they all come down to God working in and through the Israelites. Through these prophecies of Ezekiel, God is setting up new laws and ideas.
Change can be difficult, overwhelming and even scary. But change can also be full of excitement and hope. These new precedents God was giving Israel meant that someday Israel would no longer be a divided nation. Their relationship with God would be restored and He would bring them back into the land He promised them. When God is working in our lives no matter how difficult or overwhelming, we can have hope knowing He is perfecting us to be what He created us to be.

Running the game problem, NOT mod specific but PC specific...
My old computer was an MSI Apache Pro 17" laptop, with 32 GB of ram & a 2 GB nvidia video card. It ran the game well, not great but it ran it. I could load a boatload of mods and had very few problems. I was on default settings of the graphic settings in the GTA menu (except I upped pop density and vehicle density). I used a modded gameconfig and it rarely crashed except when I'd load it with too many mods...and I really had a lot (cars, peds, maps, many scripts and asi files, etc). While I had a lot in here, my gameplay wasn't bad, it was solid and my framerates were around 30 and I could live with that.
I got a new laptop, an HP ZBook 17" laptop with 32 GB and 4 GB nvidia card...I'd think I'd have the same or better results and I do not. I can't load more than a few maps, no cars, a few peds and that's it. Its framerate drops below 20 and I literally do NOT have that much on it. I've even played it bare w/ just the scripthook, nativeui and community script hook and one or two other mods including enhanced native trainer and my frame rates are still below 20 and if I add even 1/3rd of what I had on my old computer the game's framerate goes down to low single digits...as low as 2 or 3 fps...
I've tried to adjust graphic card settings, game settings, a variety of gameconfigs, and I'm stumped. I ran moderately modded GTA on my old laptop for over 2 yrs and never really had this kind of problem. However, after 3 weeks with the new laptop, I'm amazed how crappy my game experience is compared to the older/less powerfull/less video memory laptop...
Does anyone have suggestions on how I should be setting my graphics in the game settings and the graphic card settings??
Here's the specs of the laptop I am using..
Processor: Intel Core i7-6820HQ CPU @2.70 ghz (Intel's website says this is a for 4 core, 8 thread processor)
Ram: 32 GB
OS: Windows 10 Pro
Video Card: NVidia Quadro M3000M w./ 4 GB ram and an Intel HD Graphics 530 with 4 GM ram (total shared memory 16 GB).

Property prices in prime central London fell just 0.7% in year to January 2018
Average property prices in the prime central London market fell by 0.7% in the year to January 2018 adding to evidence that the annual declines recorded over the last 20 months have bottomed out.
Indeed, 2017 may have been a turning point for the market as average prices for homes valued at £10 million or more recorded a 0.2% rise in the year to January, the first increase recorded in this price bracket for almost two years.
The analysis from international real estate firm Knight Frank also reveals improved sales activity with volumes for properties valued between £5 million and £10 million increased by 14.3%.
Tom Bill, head of London residential research at Knight Frank, pointed out that the relatively modest nature of the annual price fall in January was smaller than the 6.7% fall registered in January 2017, suggesting that current pricing movements could be the prelude to a more stabilised market.
'A growing number of new prospective buyers relative to the number of new properties placed on the market typically denotes the potential for upwards pressure on pricing. After three successive declines, the ratio of new buyers to new properties rose in 2017 and price declines became more modest,' he explained.
However, while the underlying trend is a stabilising market, there is little sense of uniformity across different price bands and geographies. Higher rates of stamp duty had an earlier and more pronounced impact on the upper end of the market, which led to a quicker response in terms of asking price adjustments.
Indeed, Bill also pointed out that as a result, higher value properties continue to perform comparatively more strongly than lower value properties across prime central London.
Average prices for homes valued at £10 million or more recorded a 0.2% rise in the year to January, the first increase recorded in this price bracket for almost two years. Meanwhile, average prices between £5 million and £10 million rose on an annual basis for the third consecutive month.
Underlining the relatively stronger performance of higher value properties, the largest rise in sales volumes by price band was 14.3% for properties valued between £5 million and £10 million.
But there are regional variances as markets adapt to the changed tax landscape in different ways. For example, the total value of transactions in Chelsea in the last quarter of 2017 was the highest recorded in three years. Bill said this suggests vendors have adjusted asking prices more readily in a market where demand was initially weaker after stamp duty.
Average prices in Chelsea fell 1.9% in the year to January 2018, which compares to double digit declines 12 months ago and elsewhere, positive annual growth has returned to markets where demand has been supported by factors that include the presence of premium new build developments.
Average prices in Mayfair grew 0.8% in the year to January and an increase of 0.7% was recorded in Kensington. Meanwhile, average prices in Marylebone rose 5.5%, which was the largest increase recorded in prime central London.
'This demonstrates how pricing is heavily influenced by each neighbourhood's changing characteristics, including its new build pipeline and public realm regeneration. Overall, transaction levels are showing signs of stabilisation,' Bill added.

Jinja district is the commercial centre and the second largest city in Uganda. It is the industrial and tourist 'heart beat of Uganda'. It has an attractively lush location on the northern shores of Lake Victoria above the Ripon falls identified by Speke in 1862 as the Source of the Nile, but submerged following the construction of the Owen Falls dam in the 1950s. Jinja was formerly the industrial heartland of Uganda and boasts as the country's power engine with two hydro electric dams; the Owen falls/ Nalubaale and the new Kiira dams.
Jinja is known for the source of the Nile where waters from Africa's longest river start their 6400 miles journey that ends in the Mediterranean Sea. It is also the seat of the Busoga Kingdom one of the ancient political organizations in Uganda. Jinja's attractions include numerous hotels and resorts, the Nile High Bang jump, white water rafting up stream at Bujagali falls, Bujagali shrines and many industries among others; the Nile Brewery, Kakira sugar factory, Bidco Oil Refinery, Vita foam mattresses and Nyanza Textile Industries Limited Industries. For those interested in agritourism, the surrounding Jinja is the prime agricultural countryside with extensive plantations of sugar cane and tea.
Jinja town developed from a small fishing village in 1893- 1900 to a bustling industrial and tourist destination in Uganda. A some what elegiac tone informs the first written description of the site of the modern-day Jinja, less to do perhaps with the its inherent scenic qualities than with Speke's conviction that he was staring at the long sought-after headwaters of the Nile. In his book he wrote "The stones as the Waganda call the falls was by far the most interesting sight I had seen in Africa". The development of Jinja from a small fishing village to a town started with the transfer of the Imperial offices of Busoga from Iganga to Jinja. Around 1890, the Imperial British East African Company also set up its offices there because of its accessibility and short distance to the central region across the Nile.
Holiday activities
Jinja is a classic African adventure tourism destination. This is attributed to the existence of the Mighty River Nile which is characterized by its mysterious falls and high grade rapids. Jinja is also a relaxing and scenic place to spend a few days during your vacation. The wide Nile fringed by lush riparian woodland rattling along the equally scenic western bank of the river make Jinja the best destination to stay during your holiday.
White water rafting

The unforgettable thrilling experience you can get when the wild waters toss up and turn over huge falls make Jinja a fantastic one-stop destination for white water rafting in Africa. The less demanding white water rafting expedition is fit for everyone and demands no experience. Safety boat or family float trips at the headwaters of the Nile are also available for those who fear to raft over the Nile while the scenery and wildlife along the banks of the river are a bonus.
Bungee Jumping
Jinja is the only destination in Uganda where you can have an experience of Bungee jumping sporting adventure. Just 2kilometres downstream from the Bujagali Falls, the Nile High Bungee presents you with a chance to conquer any fear of heights you may have. The wonderful drop offers an exceptional, breath-taking opportunity for a 44-meter bungee jump. The bungee adrenaline is exhilarating whether you choose being dangled over the waters or being dipped into the river below. Different themes are available for you. You can take a 'a freestyle'; where you can jump alone or you can choose to tower over the river with a friend. Ride your bike off the top, skip rope, dive, -the choice is yours.
Horse riding
One of the best ways to experience the African bush is on horseback. Rom Jinja all riders novice to experienced, will enjoy their leisurely trails offering stunning views over the wide Nile fringed by lush riparian woodlands rattling with birds and odd monkeys.
Cycling and Mountain Biking
As Jinja seems to be a growing adventure destination cycling and mountain biking is one of the other activities available to make your holiday fantastic and memorable. Cycle paths Mountain Bike Tours have now joined in the fun. If you are looking to capture the feel for the African lifestyle, Jinja is the best destination to do it. Cycling through the villages at a leisurely pace gives you an insight into the village life as you get many locals on the way. The African cultural settings and buildings of the homesteads as well as the plantation farms that you pass through make the cycling experience more interesting and memorable. The guided trip around the Bujagali falls area is a great way to spend your morning or afternoon.
Kayaking adventures
Jinja offers an excellent spot for kayaking in Uganda. Upriver from Bujagali Falls serves are excellent opportunities to discover all the sections of the Nile River-the world's second longest river. The area is free of crocodiles and hippos and a kayak school is also at hand to ensure that you may have a simple, easiest and safer kayak over the Nile waters.

Other holiday activities in Jinja include river boarding-a stirring sport recently introduced in Uganda, canoeing, fishing, as well enjoying plenty of riverside entertainment: barbecues, camping, biking, acrobatic shows, stunts masters, among others.

Guillain–Barré syndrome
Editor – We read with great interest the article by Sancho-Saldaña et al.1 Firstly, we would like to congratulate the authors who have nicely described a case of Guillain–Barré syndrome (GBS) following a SARS-CoV-2 infection and was found to have a leptomeningeal enhancement in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the spine. Although there is numerous reporting on the neurological involvement of SARS-CoV-2 infection that has been published in the literature, we believe it is still justified to report any extrapulmonary cases of SARS-CoV-2 infection, as we are still learning about the disease. We have written a comprehensive review of literature on all published scientific articles of SARS-CoV-2 infection with neurological involvement and summarised the wide spectrum of presentation which can present with or without respiratory symptoms.2 However, this article is the first to report leptomeningeal enhancement in addition to the GBS, which warranted further investigation.
Nevertheless, there is some important information that is missing in the article, which is the background history of the patient, especially in terms of her underlying comorbidity and also the list of regular medication that she is taking. We believe this information is vital to determine the aetiology and prognosis of the condition. Apart from that, we believe a follow-up reporting is warranted on the rate and status of recovery after rehabilitation and the presence of other neurological sequelae.
At any rate, we agree with the authors that the causal relationship between GBS and SARS-CoV-2 infection follows the classical para-infectious and post-infectious pattern, as shown in this patient. Moreover, although leptomeningeal enhancement is not uncommon in GBS, we believe that further study and close follow-up is imperative because, apart from being a supplementary diagnostic sign in GBS, it can be linked to the development of a neurological dysfunction, such as multiple sclerosis that can lead to long-term or permanent neurological disabilities.3

Scared of 5G? A $346 USB stick uses "quantum technology" to protect you from its effects
Wait... what?By Rob Thubron 32 comments
WTF?! While most people welcome the arrival of 5G, there are those who believe the next-gen networks can cause serious health issues. But if you're worried about your immune system being weakened, brain getting fried, or testicles shrinking, there's a $346 USB stick that uses "ground-breaking quantum technology" to keep your body safe. According to a new report, however, it's identical to any cheap USB drive, though it does have a nice sticker.
Claims that 5G can negatively impact your health have been spreading online for some time. They gained more traction as Covid-19 made its way outside of China and became a worldwide pandemic, with some alleging the virus was caused by 5G, or it made people more susceptible to catching it. The conspiracy has led to 5G masts being set on fire in the UK, along with social media sites and YouTube clamping down on posts/videos promoting the message.
As reported by the BBC, a company called BioShield Distribution is offering a product called the 5GBioShield, which "provides protection for your home and family, thanks to the wearable holographic nano-layer catalyser, which can be worn or placed near to a smartphone or any other electrical, radiation or EMF [electromagnetic field] emitting device."
"Through a process of quantum oscillation, the 5GBioShield USB key balances and re-harmonises the disturbing frequencies arising from the electric fog induced by devices, such as laptops, cordless pho4nes, wi-fi, tablets, et cetera."
The USB keys cost £283 ($346), though bargain hunters can grab three for £958 ($973). That might sound like a lot, but not only do they protect you from 5G, they also "emit a large number of life force frequencies favoring a general revitalization of the body."
The BBC, using the services of a company called Pen Test Partners that tests devices for vulnerabilities, took apart the USB stick and found it was virtually identical to 'crystal' USB keys available from various suppliers in Shenzhen, China, for around £5 ($6).
The two directors of BioShield Distribution were involved previously in a business that sold a dietary supplement called Klotho Formula. It uses a "proprietary procedure that leads to relativistic time dilation and biological quantum entanglement at the DNA level," which sounds like it'll turn you into one of the X-Men.
One of the company directors told the BBC it did not manufacture or own the product but was the global distributor. "We are in possession of a great deal of technical information, with plenty of back-up historical research," they said. "As you can understand, we are not authorised to fully disclose all this sensitive information to third parties, for obvious reasons."
The publication's claim that the USB key is no different to a cheap, non-magical version was also disputed. "In regard to the costs analysis your research has produced, I believe that the lack of in-depth information will not drive you to the exact computation of our expenses and production costs, including the cost of IP [intellectual property rights], and so on," the director said.
"It is therefore hard to take your evaluation seriously, since you have evidently not researched the background facts in any meaningful way."

BYD opens electric bus battery factory in Brazil
BYD has now started operations at its battery factory in Brazil. The factory is the third factory in the country belonging to the Chinese electric vehicle giant, though this will be their first battery factory and will produce lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) batteries primarily for electric buses.
This latest factory involved an initial investment of 2.7 USD and covers 5,000 square metres. BYD says that the plant has a production capacity of up to 18 thousand battery modules per year and even expects to deliver 1,000 battery modules this month.
BYD describes the plant as being "highly automated and robotic". Tyler Li, responsible for BYD's business in Brazil, says of the factory that "operation is fast and technical, as here in Manaus we have the infrastructure completely assembled and automated to deliver batteries more quickly and more safely." He revealed that the new BYD plant is currently "producing 48 battery modules every day."
The largest electric bus maker in the world is looking to Brazil for an expansion of its activities in South America. "With our investment, we will also be able to partner with companies interested in enhancing the electrification of their equipment," explains Li. "Our proposal is to popularise and facilitate the electrification of mobility and equipment in the country."
The BYD battery factory now compliments the two earlier plants in Brazil. The first of these was opened in 2015 and produces electric bus chassis and other electric vehicles including forklifts. In 2017 the Chinese vehicle maker inaugurated its second plant for photovoltaic modules. The first to benefit from BYD's new battery plant will be the city of São José dos Campos, located in São Paulo state in the country's south, where BYD will supply twelve 22-metre articulated buses.
With this approach of broader operations, BYD has given itself a secure foothold in South America. The company says of its approach that "The Zero Emissions Energy Ecosystem – comprising affordable solar power generation, reliable energy storage, and cutting-edge electrified transportation – has made it an industry leader in the energy and transportation sectors." Notably, BYD has focussed mainly on public transport and related infrastructure.
The electric bus giant has recently made several fairly spectacular deals in South America with what are now some of the world's largest electric bus fleets. Late last year, Chile launched the continent's first electric bus corridor, where a total of 285 BYD buses were already operational and further bumped this number up even higher recently when a further 150 BYD buses were delivered in June this year. In Brazil, BYD delivered 9 electric garbage trucks in October last year, and Argentina launched its first electric bus fleet with BYD buses, among many other examples on the continent. BYD says its pure electric buses, taxis and trucks are currently servicing markets in countries across the region, including Chile, Brazil, Colombia, Argentina, Peru and Uruguay.

The Lagos State Governor, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode, on Friday said there was need for states in the South-West of Nigeria under the Odu'a Investment Company, to reactivate the partnership for economic growth.
Speaking at the opening ceremony of the maiden edition of the executive/legislature retreat held in Lagos, Ambode said the move would be in line with the region's vision of reawakening the political economy and socio-economic hegemony of member states.
A statement issued by his Chief Press Secretary, Habib Haruna, quoted the governor as saying that the Odu'a Investment initiative was a veritable economic vehicle to take the people out of the current recession.
Ambode said the economic downturn in the country does not respect tribe, religion or political party and therefore, Nigerians must rise above personal differences to solve the problem.

[LEO's biweekly Sonic Breakdown column deconstructs a single song from a Louisville musician or band.]
Bendigo Fletcher creates musical romanticism at its grandest. Where a lot of bands put a premium on the music, with lyrics a distant second, Ryan Anderson, the band's creator and chief songwriter, prefers to make it all about the story, weaving tales about love and the haunting truths of real world relationships. Case in point: their melancholy ballad, "Wonderfully Bizarre."
"I think it's about just being vulnerable," Anderson said of the song. "To have a relationship. I guess I learned through a few relationships I'd been in and the eventual dissolving of those relationships that you kind of learn as you go. You learn what role a partnership can play in your life and not just like in some dreamy movie scene."
Anderson is not only making an honest confession of his youthful hubris here, but is also offering some you-live-you-learn advice about the reality of partnerships.
"It has a linear change of perspective as the song goes," he continued. "The first verse is reflective of me in a younger form, seeing love in a successful relationship as two people trying to win each other over with grand gestures and then expecting the other person to, like, save your life for it or something like that. As the song goes on, there's still a little bit of idealism in the second verse, but a lot more vulnerability. By the end of the song, it's just a more honest look at a working, practical relationship."
Heartbreak and revelations aside, "Wonderfully Bizarre" is, appropriately, a gentle song, driven mostly by the subtle dalliance of acoustic guitar and piano. Anderson's soul-pop vocals punch through with melodies that invoke the old-school aesthetic of singer-songwriters like Harry Nilsson or Todd Rundgren (who Anderson credits as a source of inspiration). There's a balance of sonic paucity and intricate subtlety attributed to Anderson's "DIY trial and error approach" to recording.
"I was getting into some stranger recording techniques," he said. "I was using some voices and expressions that don't sound like me, kind of like putting some theater in what I had written. I learned that if I stayed open minded it can change however it needs to despite the original idea of the song."
While "Wonderfully Bizarre" is mostly a truthful account of Anderson's experiences, he's a savvy enough storyteller to know that some elements can benefit from a dose of additional drama.
"There's mention of a rattlesnake skin, a timber snake, in the first verse," Anderson said. "That's from a day when I went up a wall, in one of those grand gesture things that came from a real moment with this girl I was with at the time. I climbed up the wall at the Southside Quarry. Up at the top, there was this snakeskin which I climbed up to get. I was thinking it would be this awesome, 'Look at me, I just climbed a rock wall for you to get this snakeskin.' It was probably a black snake or rat snake, but rattlesnake sounded a little more adventurous for a song."

Parliament passed legislation to outlaw the consumption, purchase or possession of dog and cat meat, with offenders facing a fine of up to Tw$250,000 (€7,700).
The bill also increased the penalty for killing or abusing animals to a maximum two-year jail term and a fine of Tw$2 million, more than doubling that for repeat offenders.
"This shows that Taiwan is a society with advanced animal welfare," said Wang Yu-min, who proposed the amendment.
Like some other Asian nations, dog consumption was common in Taiwan decades ago and although it is much rarer now, there have been sporadic reports of shops being caught selling dog meat in recent years.

League of Legends World Championship 2019 Play-In phase has come to its last stage as the knockout draw has been completed, with a bit of mishap during the draw itself.
All four pairings for the knockout stage are now revealed and European players will likely not be happy with how it turned out. Conspiracy theorists will likely have a field day as well, since the first seed pool wasn't entirely incognito.
Namely, one of the balls opened prematurely, revealing it was that of Clutch Gaming. Riot Games attendant stepped in to mend the situation while SOAz, who was making the draw turned away in order to ensure the validity of the picks. Anyway, let's get on to matchups.
Hong Kong Attitude vs Isurus Gaming
HKA secured the first spot in Group C without too much trouble, dropping only one match along the way. Furthermore, they faced what was arguably the fiercest competition across all Play-In groups and didn't flinch. This kind of performance would make them a bit of a favourite to win the matchup.
On the other hand, Isurus Gaming may have gone 2-2 in groups but the matches they dropped were against Splyce, a team that has a great season behind it, so it's possible Isurus might still find their footing and give HKA some trouble or even an upset.
Clutch Gaming vs Royal Youth
This matchup is bound to have a lot of controversy behind it due to the draw ball mishap. It didn't help that CG previously stated Royal Youth would be the ideal opponent in knockout stage beforehand. Clutch Gaming are the clear favourites in this matchup, especially because the team had a second wind in the latter stages in groups.
Damwon Gaming vs Lowkey Esports
Lowkey Esports really drew the short straw on this one. Along with UOL, they are possibly the strongest second seed and they are up against the Korean behemoth that just rolled over its group stage.
Splyce vs Unicorns of Love
This is the matchup that European fans will most likely be angry about. Many saw UOL as an opportunity for Europe to have sort of a fourth team in the Main Event but this draw means either Splyce or UOL will go out. It's still important to note that UOL are actually representing CIS region.
It will be an interesting match for some players though. Vizicsacsi came into the spotlight during his time with UOL and his old coach, Sheepy, is still at the helm of UOL, regardless of their region.

If your bills are piling high, to the point where making any kind of down or minimum payment seems like it's going to be a struggle, bankruptcy might be your best option. It is important to know that filing for bankruptcy in Florida is going to cost you more than just about every other state, so there is really no cheap bankruptcy filing. While the filing costs are fixed by the state, the fees charged by attorneys typically runs between $999 and $1499, but can go as high as $5000. The range in price varies on specifics such as: 1. How the attorney bills for his or her time 2. whether you are filing for Chapter 7 bankruptcy filing, chapter 11 bankruptcy filing or Chapter 13, 3. How long the bankruptcy process takes, 4. Whether there are any challenges being filed by trustees and/ or creditors, 5. Whether there are any related legal costs to your case, and 6. Whether there are any adversary proceeding attorney fees.
When interviewing attorneys for the position of being your bankruptcy attorney, it is important to know whether the attorney charges a flat fee or hourly. The hourly rate varies based on your location in the state and the level of experience the attorney has. For those that bill hourly, you will be asked to give a retainer fee, from which your initial consultation fees will be deducted. You need to ask what the hourly rate is and whether the attorney bills by the tenth of an hour (i.e., every six minutes) or by every quarter of an hour (i.e., every fifteen minutes). This will determine how much you pay for things such as phone calls with the attorney.
For attorneys who charge a flat fee, it is important to ask when the fee will be collected and what the fee covers, or rather, what it doesn't cover. Will the flat fee cover everything, including court fees? Are the fees refundable if you choose not to proceed with this attorney and go with someone else? Are there payment plans available? And, always, whether the fee is flat or hourly, ask whether the rate is negotiable.
For other questions—namely, how long your particular case will take, one of the deciding factors is the type of bankruptcy being filed on your behalf and the complexity of the case. A chapter 7 case is typically the most straight forward. Once filed, assets are surrendered to eliminate most unsecured debts and even some secured debts and debt collectors are no longer allowed to call you. Chapter 11, on the other hand, is used for businesses, in which typically, a small business is given four months to restructure its debt by putting each of its creditors into its own class, with priority places on certain debts over others. The plan must be in the best interest of the creditors. Lastly, chapter 13, while also used by individuals, puts together a repayment plan in which the individual pays a court trustee over the course of three to five years in order to pay off the debt without liquidating assets. The complexity (how many factors are involved and whether there are any disputes in the case) of the case is the best indicator of the cost the attorney will charge to fight it.
One the direction of the case is established, and you know the type of bankruptcy being filed, it is also vital to ask about the other fees that will be associated with your bankruptcy case, such as court fees, trustee fees, consumer counseling fees, and tuition related to your personal financial management education. Clients are even billed for photocopying documents, additional staff who will be needed for the case, and attorneys travel expenses, as needed. You can never ask too many questions when considering which attorney to hire. A good attorney will have the staff, who have the patience, to answer all of your queries prior to asking you to sign a contract hiring them for their services.
For questions regarding the fees and timelines related to your bankruptcy case, or potential case, contact D'Souza and Strachan Law Group. Here, you will find an experienced group of attorneys who are well versed in bankruptcy cases and can handle your case easily and effectively. For a consultation, call us today. (Phone number)

The Protection of Consumer Rights in the Digital Economy Conditions – the Experience of the BRICS Countries
Online contracts are characterized by unequal economic opportunities. The consumer, traditionally, has fewer economic opportunities, the seller – more. Digitalization of consumer-seller relations did not solve the old problem of insufficient consumer protection, but rather exacerbated it. Now the consumer needs to be protected from unscrupulous actions of both the seller and the aggregator of the information on goods, works, and services, i.e. the owner of the site on which the consumer buys the good, orders the work or the service. Acontract concluded on a site is a special type of adhesion contract. If a site sells goods from different sellers (which often happens), the terms and conditions of the adhesion contract are determined not only by the seller, but also by the site owner. Thus, the economically weak party – the consumer, needs to be protected both against the seller's abuse, and against the site owner's abuse. The article compares the experience of regulating the relations between the consumer, the seller (contractor) and the information aggregator accumulated by the EU countries, on the one hand, and BRICS countries, on the other. It is concluded that the development of regulation in all the BRICS countries is currently moving towards providing the consumer with the widest information opportunities. It is necessary to support the idea of holding the e-commerce aggregator responsible for any failure to fulfill its obligations to the consumer. The responsibility is considered acceptable when the aggregator has not informed the consumer that it does not provide goods, work, services, or in cases of the aggregator's gross negligence in identifying the user when registering a potential seller on the site. A separate problem is the public legal status of the online platform aggregator, since when an onsite contract is concluded, the consumer should not receive less secure goods than when a contract is concluded through an exchange of documents in the ordinary "paper" form.

RANA-LAMA, Camilo Daniel et al. Obstáculos y apoyos percibidos en la aplicación de terapia compresiva en úlceras venosas de la pierna. Ene. [online]. 2016, vol.10, n.2. ISSN 1988-348X.
Objective: To identify barriers and facilitators perceived by nurses in relation to the application of compression therapy at uncomplicated venous leg ulcers. Method: Descriptive, exploratory qualitative study. An intentional, convenience and voluntary sampling was done into nursing professionals of the mailing list of the National Group for the Study and Consulting Pressure Ulcers and Chronic Wounds with experience giving care to patients with venous leg ulcers. The information was collected by an ad hoc self-administered questionnaire on line. The analysis of the socio-professional variables was done using descriptive statistics; narrative data were analyzed using thematic content analysis. Results: We obtained the response of 123 participants. The age range was 46.7 years; 65.9% were women, professional experience of 22.6 years; 51.2% worked in primary health care, 34.1% in hospital, 9.8% in socio-health centers and 4.9% elsewhere. Following the narrative analysis identified three thematic categories: 1) Elements attributed to health care professionals 2) Elements attributed to patients 3) Elements attributed to health /society system. Discussion: The low use of compressive therapy in clinical practice is a reality that must be reversed, through the involvement of professionals and healthcare managers by following and implementation the recommendations for clinical practice based on scientific evidence, the patients' preferences, the experience of clinicians and, in the availability of instrumental and/or materials resources.
Keywords : Varicose Ulcer; Leg Ulcer; Compression Bandages; Sanitary Surveys; Nursing care.

We are a dynamic research group led by Prof Cang Hui, a SARChI Chair in Mathematical and Theoretical Physical Biosciences. We work at the interface between mathematics and biology. Our interests lie in proposing models and theories for explaining emerging patterns in whole-organism biology, namely ecology. Ecology studies biodiversity in its variety and complexity. As ecological processes are highly complex and adaptive, we rely on the simplicity of mathematical language to build models and theoretical frameworks. Nature never fails to amaze us. Scientific research endeavours to measure natural objects, quantify structures, and ultimately identify the mechanisms governing these structures. Our research has thus focused on formulating and modelling the complexity of biodiversity patterns and biotic interactions. Besides mathematical ecology and modelling, our studies have spanned into population ecology, community ecology, network ecology, evolutionary ecology, macroecology and global change biology, as well as invasion biology. See Ecological and Evolutionary Modelling (2018 Springer) for selected topics of our theoretical modelling, Invasion Dynamics (2017 Oxford University Press) for our syntheses on hypotheses, models and theories of invasion science, and Invading Ecological Networks (2022 Cambridge University Press) for "an atlas of possibilities" on the concept of open adaptive networks.

If you are like many homeowners, you don't spend much time thinking about your rain gutters and may have even wondered if they are a necessary part of your home. The function of rain gutters along your roof is to catch rainwater, which is then channeled through downspouts and carried away from your home. Gutters are generally not required by law, and many modern homes do not to have them installed, but there are a few circumstances that call for gutter installation.
- Clay Soil. Clay soil absorbs a lot of water and expands in volume as it becomes more saturated. Without amendments to the soil or some other intervention, this type of soil will eventually cause damage to your home's foundation. Gutter installation will catch the water before it hits the ground and direct it a safe distance from your home.
- Upward Sloped Landscaping. If your home was built at the bottom of a slope, water will pool along the foundation and can lead to foundation damage. By installing gutters on at least that side of the home, the water will be collected and carried away. Installation of a small gutter along the ground will help with the runoff from landscaping.
- Roof with No Overhang. This style of roof allows water to pour from the roof to within a foot of the foundation and will cause trenches to form with regular rainfall. This rainwater will stay close to the foundation once absorbed by the ground, leading to damage to the foundation over time.
If you think your home has a need for gutter installation and you are ready to discuss your options, please give us a call at Foster's Home Repair/Seamless Gutters, LLC today!
