Su Tang's cold voice stopped Madam Wu from saying any more. Madam Wu wanted to come here and pretend to be a good person while at the same time pinning them with the reputation of thieves? That was a beautiful dream. Really, she must think that Su Tang was still that same cowardly Su Dani from before.
Seeing Madam Wu at a disadvantage, Madam Zhao was about to open her mouth but Su Tang cut her off forcefully. "Don't dirty other people's ears with your useless nonsense and random scoldings here anymore. Let's just be straightforward so I don't have to feel nauseous listening to you, if you want to come and say that we stole from your family, just directly talk about the evidence that we stole your money. Don't mess around saying all those useless extra words."
Su Tang really felt that the most correct decision she had made since transmigrating here was allowing herself to be adopted into Su Laochuan's family. Now, no matter how old Madam Zhao and Su Yonggui were, they could only ever be considered as people from the same generation as Su Tang and her brother.
That was why Su Tang was able to talk like this so confidently. Although it would clearly be disrespectful to talk like this if she were a younger generation talking to one of her elders, they technically didn't have that relationship anymore. At most, it could be considered a younger brother and sister-in-law talking to their elder brother and sister-in-law a little impolitely.
Some of the onlookers, like Madam Wen and Madam Tong, heard Su Tang's cutting words and couldn't help but laugh. Su Tang was really very fierce despite not saying a single dirty word.
Madam Zhao opened her mouth again, ready to start scolding, but Su Tang cut her off calmly. "The respectable Su family patriarch is here, and since you dare to suspect us we can have him decide. After all, we of the Su family have never been the type to forgive sinners but, of course, we are also not a family who will allow our members to falsely frame each other at will either."
"Since the patriarch is here, he will be in charge of the overall situation. So let's talk face to face, here and now. You can go ahead and say whatever evidence you have. Just list it all out, but don't talk so much nonsense and waste everyone's time."
"Brother Yongqiang and Brother Yonggui what do you think of your sister's suggestion?" After Su Tang finished speaking, she turned to ask Su Yongqiang and Su Yonggui for their opinion, emphasizing the word 'sister'.
Su Yonggui listened to Su Tang call him 'brother' and felt awkward. But, after all, the adoption documents had been signed and the genealogy was already changed, so even if everyone knew that these two were his grandchildren before, that relationship had already changed.
Su Yongqiang could only hear irony from Su Tang's words. Was he really a patriarch who should be respected? On his watch, this Madam Zhao and her family had messed around several times already, to the point that Su Tang was forced to say things to this point.
"Sister Tang is right. That is how things should be done. If Sister Tang and Brother Nuo really stole money, then I will certainly deal with it appropriately but, if someone is intentionally framing them without proof, this matter won't just pass quietly."
"Then it's decided. Let's discuss things reasonably!" Su Tang finished speaking and looked over at Madam Zhao, "Now, sister-in-law, you tell us, what is your evidence?"
Madam Zhao was very good at messing around and kicking up a fuss, but when it came to reasoning and logical ability, she was more than a little lacking. What's more, how could there be any convincing evidence for her to say? She had already been interrupted again and again by Su Tang, so now her momentum had weakened considerably.
As soon as Madam Zhang saw that her mother-in-law seemed lost, she said, "It's easy for you to just say empty words. Back then, we all thought of you as our family but who knew you would do such a thing?"
"Oh, 'family'!" Su Tang seemed amused to hear her say that word and repeated it sarcastically.
Then, without waiting for Madam Zhang to say anything more, she said, "Obviously, you don't have evidence to prove your accusations, which is very unfortunate for you because I happen to have evidence to prove where I made my money, and evidence to prove that I made these clothes myself."
"Xiao Nuo, go to the house and take out the clothes I've been working on." Su Tang seemed to be applying silent pressure on everyone around her so, despite so many people being present, she was the only one to speak.
Su Nuo looked at his sister with admiration on his little face. Then, when he heard what she asked him to do, he quickly ran into the house and took out the unfinished clothes Su Tang had been working on.

The Lakers were the biggest losers in the NBA on Friday night. Not only did they lose to a below-average Sacramento Kings team without two of its starters in three overtimes, but LeBron James and Russell Westbrook played 50 (!) minutes each. The Lakers were also -14 in the 35 minutes that James, Westbrook and Anthony Davis all played together. That's flat out unacceptable.
At this point, this team needs more than a bounce back game on Sunday in their rematch vs. the Detroit Pistons. They need a resurrection. The biggest storyline going into this one nationally is probably going to be the reunion of James and Isaiah Stewart because of their infamous on-court altercation last week, but what the Lakers really need to focus on is fixing their halfcourt offense and defense, rebounding and turning around the mental approach that has caused them 11 games this season.
How can they start fixing their issues on Sunday? Well, if James and Davis actually perform like the two best players on their team, it would certainly help. Davis played 49 minutes last Friday, but only tallied an underwhelming 23 points and 8 rebounds. James got his stats, but missed a ton of crucial jumpers instead of attacking the rim late in the game. The duo combined for an abysmal 2 for 18 shooting from deep. The captains need to be better.
Davis was 9 for 22 overall tonight:— Mike Trudell (@LakersReporter) November 27, 2021
- 8 for 11 in the paint
- 1 for 11 outside of the paint
- 0 for 5 from 3
LeBron was 10 for 25:
- 6 for 7 in the paint
- 2 for 14 outside of the paint
- 2 for 13 from 3 https://t.co/UWDsA3RPMS
Another issue the purple and gold have to start working on Sunday is their rebounding problems. They're currently ranked 20th in offensive rebounds per game, and 25th in defensive rebound rate.
How can an already mediocre defense keep a lead if they consistently allow their opponents extra opportunities to score? The Lakers have shown spurts of how great they can look on both sides of the floor, but the problem is that they don't do this enough throughout the game to really overwhelm their opponents.

Fox comes off the screen, AD in a drop with a late switch. Lakers recover. Post up to Thompson, Melo shows help which sure I guess but other wise they are fine with Monk sinking. But on the skip Monk plays the corner pass instead of the ball, THT gets beat and that's a wrap. pic.twitter.com/Zvy2LIw5vq— Steve Jones Jr. (@stevejones20) November 27, 2021
And on Sunday, the Lakers will face a Pistons team that's not even the slightest bit scared of them. In fact, L.A. will have to prepare for a more motivated Detroit team that is well aware that they were up 11 before Stewart and James were ejected last week.
So unlike the last matchup between these two teams, the Lakers have to buckle up and make sure that Jerami Grant doesn't turn into an All-Star once again, and not allow Stewart and Saddiq Bey's physical interior presence to overwhelm Anthony Davis, DeAndre Jordan and Dwight Howard early on. The same goes for making sure that Hamidou Diallo doesn't once again have the game of his life again.
Grant, Cunningham and Bey combined to shoot 12/41 (29.2%) from the field tonight. A complete off night for the #Pistons top-3 leading scorers. Some of the misses in the 2nd quarter were complete bricks: pic.twitter.com/euP7oBNdnA— Jack Kelly (@jack_kelly_313) November 26, 2021
Remember, this Pistons team is dead last in the league in points per game (98.6), 3-pointers made (207) and rebounds per game (42). If the Lakers' mediocre-at-best defense once again makes this Pistons team look like an All-Star team for three quarters, they could be in for another humiliating night for them at STAPLES Center. The key for the Lakers defense (if they decide to actually put more effort on that end on Sunday) is to force the rebuilding team to score from downtown, where they heavily struggled in their loss the Los Angeles Clippers on Friday, shooting 8-33 from deep.
And last but not least, the best formula for the Lakers to avoid embarrassing themselves once again is to get stops and contributions from all their role players. Yes, that sounds obvious, but this wasn't what happened last week in Detroit. L.A. had to rely on a Westbrook fourth quarter masterclass just to get back in the game.
If the Lakers can get ample contributions from every single rotation player — or at least the majority of them — then there's a good chance that they can avoid another overtime. Or even you know, even win. Because in a season full of new lows, a loss to the four-win Pistons would truly be rock bottom.
Notes and Updates
- Trevor Ariza (right ankle injury recovery), Kendrick Nunn (right knee bone bruise) are still out tomorrow. Lakers' two-way contract players Chaundee Brown Jr. and Jay Huff will be on G League duty.
- LeBron James (rectus abdominis strain) is questionable while Lakers' two-way contract players Chaundee Brown Jr. and Jay Huff will be with the South Bay Lakers.
LeBron has been listed as questionable with this injury for every game since he came back guys this is not something to freak out over.— Harrison Faigen (@hmfaigen) November 27, 2021
- Austin Reaves, who was recently sidelined due to a left hamstring injury, was available to play on Friday, but was a DNP-CD.
- Detroit's Stewart has had his fair share of challenges in finishing at the rim. The Lakers would be wise to let Stewart hold the ball and keep it out of the hands of Grant or even Trey Lyles, who has shot well over the past few games.
- For news around the league, if you wan't to feel a little better about the Lakers' unacceptable loss last Friday, the good news is that multiple teams in the Western Conference like the Portland Trail Blazers, Utah Jazz, Memphis Grizzlies and Minnesota Timberwolves all dropped their games on Friday as well. Misery loves company, and so at least Los Angeles isn't the only team disappointing its fanbase.
The Lakers and Pistons will tip-off at 6:30 p.m. PST on Sunday. The game will be televised locally on Spectrum SportsNet.

FAQ's. General Information
What is designer deadstock fabric?
Deadstock fabric refers to fabric from designer's sample rooms that was not used in production. Sometimes multiple colors were produced and only one color went into production, sometimes those specific fabric blends were only made for a specific pattern and that pattern wasn't manufactured. The fabrics are never used for one purpose and there is no one way a fabric becomes "Deadstock." Designer deadstock is different from regular deadstock in that those general deadstock items are from fabric mills that had end cuts with blemishes or scrap pieces from roll production.
How is your leather sold?

They are cut according to the next available option, and we strive to give the best option to every customer. Please be aware leather is not a perfect square or rectangle.

Each year, 1.7 million people in the United States sustain a traumatic brain injury (TBI), which is twice as likely in men compared with women. TBI is an injury to the head that results in a disruption of normal functioning of the brain. The terms concussion, the most common form of TBI, and mild TBI are often used interchangeably. A concussion results most often from a blow or jolt to the head that causes the brain to collide with the skull. The signs and symptoms of a concussion may be physical, cognitive, emotional, or relating to sleep. Both pharmacologic approaches (medication management for cognitive, emotional, and neurologic symptoms) and nonpharmacologic approaches (cognitive and physical rest) are essential for treatment. Read more.
Epilepsy and the corresponding seizure disorders, such as focal (partial-onset) seizures, provide challenges for both patients and healthcare providers. Although many current treatment options show benefit in some patients, other patients have seizures that fail to respond to medications. Traditional medications, such as phenytoin, carbamazepine, and oxcarbazepine, are known for drug-drug interactions and intolerable adverse effects. Research has resulted in treatment advances for focal seizures. One new medication, eslicarbazepine, has been proven safe and effective for the treatment of focal seizure disorder. With convenient dosing and improved tolerability, eslicarbazepine and other new agents are considered suitable alternatives to traditional antiepileptics in selected patients. Read more.
Insomnia is a disorder due to inadequate sleep quantity and/or quality caused by impaired sleep initiation, maintenance, or duration. Understanding potential nonpharmacologic and pharmacotherapeutic treatment options for insomnia is a vitally important role for pharmacists. Many practitioners and patients are avoiding benzodiazepine receptor agonists (BZDRAs) due to their significant adverse-effect profiles, so pharmacists should understand the appropriate utility of the five FDA-approved non-BZDRA options. Diphenhydramine and doxylamine are generally not recommended due to efficacy and safety concerns, while doxepin, ramelteon, and suvorexant all appear to be efficacious options in the management of insomnia.

NASA Astronaut Worries About Pooping In Space On The ISS
What could be more daunting than strapping into a rocket for a trip to space? Pooping once you get there. It's top of mind for NASA astronaut Jack Fischer, who is headed up to the International Space Station April 20. In a NASA interview, Fischer told the space agency that "using the toilet" will be his greatest challenge.
Read: What Night on Earth Looks Like When You're Orbiting the Planet
"It's all about suction, it's really difficult, and I'm a bit terrified," Fischer said. "Unlike most things, you just can't train for that on the ground — so I approach my space-toilet activities with respect, preparation, and a healthy dose of sheer terror."
He'll have to get used to the toilet of terror because he'll be in orbit around Earth for four months.
During that time, Fischer will be doing research: "There are almost 300 experiments planned for our mission, ranging from plant growth to bone growth, and everything in between." He may participate in a spacewalk as well.
The American is launching on a Soyuz spacecraft from Roscosmos, Russia's space agency, along with their own astronaut, Fyodor Yurchikhin.
So what is it like to pee and poop in space? Many have wondered, yet few have experienced it. European Space Agency astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti explains that suction is key in the weightless environment aboard the ISS. There is a hose with suction for urine and a seat with a bag attached for feces.
NASA astronaut Suni Williams says the seat is a little small, so good aim is important. And while the suction should keep things going in the right direction," messes do happen: "Sometimes things get a little out of control if you are out of control yourself, flying around." For those messes, there is a variety of toilet papers and wipes. According to Williams, in case anyone was wondering, the Russian wipes are "a little bit coarse."
Chris Hadfield, also a NASA astronaut, says there is a seatbelt to keep people in place, if need be. And when everything is done, the pee is recycled and the poop is freeze-dried in the vacuum of space to kill the bacteria and stored until it is sent to burn up in Earth's atmosphere. "So the next time you see a beautiful shooting star going across the sky, that's what it might be."
Although Fischer said he is worried about pooping space, puking is less of a concern.
"I pretty much can't get sick here on Earth — you can do things to me that would make a Billy goat puke, but after being a fighter pilot and test pilot, it just doesn't bother me," he said. But he is training just in case, because "you can never tell who will get sick on orbit."

The plays will respond to how our understanding and experiences of community, education, work, relationships, family, culture, climate and capitalism are evolving on an unprecedented scale. The series will ask how we got here and what the enduring legacy of this historic episode might be. Further details will be announced shortly.
The series will include new works from a diverse group of celebrated playwrights including: April De Angelis (My Brilliant Friend; The Village), Josh Azouz (The Mikvah Project; Buggy Baby), Deborah Bruce (The Distance; The House They Grew Up In), John Donnelly (The Pass; The Knowledge), Clint Dyer (Death of England), Jennifer Haley (The Nether; Sustainable Living), Sami Ibrahim (Two Palestinians Go Dogging; Wind Bit Bitter, Bit Bit Bit), James Graham (Ink; QUIZ; Coalition; Brexit: An Uncivil War; Labour of Love), Charlene James (Cuttin' It; Tweet Tweet), Jasmine Lee-Jones (seven methods of killing kylie jenner) Duncan Macmillan (People, Places and Things; City of Glass; Rosmersholm; 1984; Lungs), Nathaniel Martello-White (Torn; BLACKTA), Chloë Moss (This Wide Night; The Gatekeeper), Prasanna Puwanarajah (Nightwatchman; Patrick Melrose; Doctor Foster) and Tim Price (Salt, Root, Row; The Radicalisation of Bradley Manning).
Using digital conferencing technology, and combining live and pre-recorded material, these intimate new plays will give an immediate insight into this unprecedented communal experience. Working closely with several directors and a team of freelance creatives, Headlong and Century Films will publish the series online in April for audiences to stream directly from their homes.
Jeremy Herrin, Artistic Director / CEO, Headlong says:
"At Headlong, we've been trying to process the disruption and, like many of us in the theatre industry, we have been trying to cope with the closure of shows, and the challenges facing future productions.
In these uncertain times we want to engage with our family of artists: our playwrights, directors and actors and other creatives, and provide them with a platform to share their insight, wisdom, humour, anger, fear and optimism or whatever else they've got at this pivotal moment. Theatre is a way of processing contradictions meaningfully, and I hope that this project will help artists and audiences alike find connection and meaning in their isolation, and provide an uplifting and perhaps inspiring diversion"
Holly Race Roughan, Associate Artistic Director, Headlong says:
"In this extraordinary time, we at Headlong are humbled to be collaborating with some of the country's most imaginative writers to process what is happening to us and around us in real time.
Playwrights from all generations and backgrounds are urgently responding to the crisis to help us and our audiences make sense of our world transformed. We will be rehearsing digitally and streaming directly to homes in isolation around the world. Our quest is to connect a population in isolation through a series of short dramas."
Brian Hill, Managing Director, Century Films says:
"I'm very excited to be working with the team at Headlong and to show how a collaboration of storytellers from the worlds of theatre, film and television can produce brilliant work that addresses the current crisis."
Unprecedented: Real Time Theatre From a State of Isolation is the latest digital project from Headlong. Previous projects have included two series of short films produced in partnership with the Guardian, Europeans: Dramas from a Divided Union (2020), and Brexit Shorts (2017).

Xanthelasma, arcus corneae and risk of ischaemic disease
BMJ 2011; 343: d5497
This research included 12,745 Danish people aged 20-93 years, who were recruited for the Copenhagen City Heart Study between 1976 and 1978. Information regarding the presence or absence of arcus and xanthelasma was available for all participants, who were followed up for an average of 22 years.
At baseline, 4.4% had xanthelasma and 24.8%, arcus. After adjustment for age, sex and well-known cardiovascular risk factors, hazard ratios for xanthelasma were 1.48 for MI, 1.39 for IHD, 0.94 for ischaemic stroke, 0.91 for ischaemic cerebrovascular disease and 1.14 for death. The figures for arcus were not significant. Surprisingly, the increased risk for patients with xanthelasma was independent of their lipid profile. This suggests GPs should take the presence of xanthelasma seriously, even if the lipid profile looks normal.
Texting and non-attendance in an ophthalmology clinic
Scott Med J 2011; 56: 148-50
From time to time, we receive stern letters from hospitals regarding patients' non-attendance at their hospital appointment. This article was very interesting in its description of the use of technology to address this problem.
The study included 201 patients in Dunfermline, Fife, who were attending an ophthalmology clinic. Patients were sent a text message two weeks before their appointment. This appears to have reduced the 'did not attend' rate from 12% to 5.5%.
Criticisms of this study are that there is a reliance on historical data, rather than including a control group, and a rather long gap between the message and the appointment; it is possible that many of our non-attending patients will have booked and forgotten their appointment in this time period.
This is, however, a practical example of the numerous methods being piloted to try to increase the efficiency of appointment systems.
Quality of life of dementia patients in residential care
Dement Geriatr Cogn Disord 2011; 32: 39-44
There has been a great deal of criticism about residential care homes in Britain recently. In Japan, this interesting study used the quality of life in Alzheimer's disease assessment tool to assess patients in care.
The study, which was carried out between February 2009 and November 2010 in five residential homes in Japan, included 141 dementia patients with a mini-mental state examination score ≤24 and 74 professional caregivers. It did not include patients who were severely confused or disturbed.
The assessment tool, consisting of 13 items including health, energy, mood, family and friends, was administered to patients and caregivers.
The results showed that staff tended to underestimate patients' reported quality of life. The main determinants of quality of life were functional status and depression, suggesting that targeting these areas might be valuable in improving quality of life in dementia.
Obesity and physical activity in children aged seven to 10
Arch Dis Child 2011; 96: 942-7
The objective of this non-interventional cohort study was to determine whether inactivity leads to fatness, or vice versa.
The study, carried out in Plymouth, included 202 children aged seven to 10 years. More than half were boys and 25 per cent were overweight or obese. Physical activity was measured by accelerometers worn for one week annually. Body fat percentage was measured annually.
Body fat percentage was found to be predictive of changes in physical activity in the following three years, but changes in physical activity did not influence body weight.
This could explain why so far, addressing obesity by promoting activity has been ineffective. However, there was no attempt to influence activity here, which might have had different results.
Ultrasound screening for abdominal aortic aneurysm
Br J Surg 2011; 98(11): 1546-55
We appear to be screening for more conditions, so I was interested to see some preliminary work on screening for abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). The object of this health economics modelling study was to determine the cost-effectiveness of screening for AAA at 65 years in men in the Netherlands and Norway.
A model was developed to simulate various economic factors, such as life expectancy, quality-adjusted life-years, net health benefits and other data.
Additional costs of screening compared with no screening were EUR421 per person in the Netherlands, and the additional life-years were 0.097, equating to EUR4,340 per life-year. Figures for Norway were EUR562 and EUR9,860. The conclusion is that screening is highly cost- effective, although this study did not look at the costs once the condition has been detected.
Assessing the patient mix of GP trainees
Br J Gen Pract 2011; 61: 620-1
As a GP trainer, I was interested in this very practical study of the experience of some trainee family practitioners in the Netherlands.
The aim of this prospective cohort study was to describe the patient mix of GP trainees, including differences between firstand third-year trainees, and differences in presentation to males and females.
The study participants were 49 first and 24 third-year trainees, who were starting that period of training in 2008. Data were extracted from the electronic patient record for six months.
Third-year trainees saw significantly more patients aged 45-64 years than first-years. Respiratory and skin diseases were seen most often, while haematological, male genital and social problems were seen least. Female trainees, not surprisingly, saw twice as many female conditions as males.
As well as the actual results of this study, it provides a simple way of looking at trainees' experience and begs the question, can we influence it? The authors caution against this, advising that the relationship between patient mix and competence is complicated.

For Immediate Release:
November 27, 2021
The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health (Public Health) continues to track variant cases in Los Angeles County. While the Delta variant remains the dominate variant detected among LA County residents and continues to account for 100% of cases sequenced, the Omicron variant identified by the World Health Organization in South Africa as a "variant of concern" is being closely monitored as we work with others across the globe to prepare to mitigate the challenges a new variant of concern may pose for residents and workers across the county. This includes adhering to the travel restrictions issued by the White House and the CDC.
Although more studies are needed to determine whether the Omicron variant is more contagious, more deadly or resistant to vaccine and treatments than other COVID-19 strains, as with any variant of concern that is found in other countries, there are important steps we all need to take to protect ourselves from COVID-19 and from emerging variants of concern.
The most important strategy remains making sure that everyone 5 years and older gets fully vaccinated or receives their booster dose as quickly as possible to reduce transmission of the virus currently dominating across the county. The vaccines are effective against the Delta variant and earlier strains of the virus which allows us to remain hopeful that the approved vaccines will also provide some protection against Omicron. However, given that there continues to be substantial transmission of COVID-19 and we have uncertainty about the level of vaccine efficacy against this new variant of concern, all residents across LA County need to be sure to adhere to the masking requirements and wear a mask when indoors or at large outdoor mega events regardless of vaccination status. We continue to strongly recommend that individuals wear a mask when at any crowded indoor or outdoor events. Residents are reminded that they are legally required to isolate if they have a positive COVID test result and that vaccinated close contacts with symptoms and unvaccinated close contacts need to quarantine. Testing is an important tool in early detection of infection to reduce spread and we encourage residents who have traveled for the holidays to get tested if they traveled internationally or to locations in this country with high transmission rates, or they participated at gatherings and events with large numbers of people, some of which may be unvaccinated.
While we are still learning much about Omicron, we know enough about COVID to take steps now that can reduce transmission as we prepare to better understand the additional strategies that may needed to mitigate this new variant of concerns.
The Department of Public Health is committed to promoting health equity and ensuring optimal health and well-being for all 10 million residents of Los Angeles County. Through a variety of programs, community partnerships and services, Public Health oversees environmental health, disease control, and community and family health. Nationally accredited by the Public Health Accreditation Board, the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health comprises nearly 4,500 employees and has an annual budget of $1.2 billion.

Monkeypox may spread during sexual contact, UK health chiefs now believe.
Government scientists are probing whether sex could be one of the drivers of the current spate of cases.
The rare tropical disease was known to spread via close contact — but it had never been linked to sexual intercourse.
So far seven Brits have been diagnosed with the virus and six are thought to have been infected in the UK, in a sign it is spreading in the community for the first time.
Four of the cases are in gay or bisexual men, who are now being urged to be extra vigilant for new lesions or rashes.
Experts at the UK Health Security Agency claimed the pattern of spread is 'highly suggestive of spread in sexual networks'.
MailOnline revealed earlier today how sexual health clinics have reintroduced social distancing amid fears about the outbreak.
At least one practice in London had already brought in stricter infection control measures yesterday, including a one-metre rule in waiting rooms.
Seven Britons have been diagnosed with monkeypox and six of them appear to have contracted it in the UK — in a sign the virus is spreading in the community. The seventh UK patient had brought the virus back from Nigeria, where the disease is widespread. At least three patients are receiving care at specialist NHS units in London and Newcastle
Monkeypox is a rare viral infection which causes unusual rashes or lesions (shown in a handout provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in the US
Nurses and doctors are being advised to stay 'alert' to patients who present with a new rash or scabby lesions (like above)
Mateo Prochazka, an STI expert and head of UKHSA team probing the outbreak, detailed the UK's seven new cases in a Twitter thread earlier today.
He said it was 'bizarre' that cases 'appear to have acquired the infection via sexual contact'.
'This is a novel route of transmission that will have implications for outbreak response and control,' he added.
'Close contact between two people (such as during sex) could facilitate transmission – but this has never been described before.
'However, the high proportion of cases in the current outbreak in England that are gay or bisexual (4/7, 57 per cent) is highly suggestive of spread in sexual networks.
'This is further suggested by the fact that common contacts have been identified for only two of the four latest cases.'
Just because it can spread during sex does not mean it is the virus' primary route of transmission, he said.
Other infections that are not typically STI's but can spread during sex include shigella or giardia.
Independent scientists are split on the theory, with some saying it was still too early to say either way.
'This may indeed be the first time transmission of monkeypox via sexual contact has been documented, although it has not been confirmed to be the case,' said Dr Michael Head, a public health expert from the University of Southampton.
The first patient, a person who had recently travelled to Nigeria, was diagnosed on May 7. They were treated at the expert infectious disease unit at the Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust, London (pictured)
One of the cases announced on Saturday is being cared for at the infectious diseases unit at St Mary's Hospital (file photo above), Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust, in London
One of the seven is being treated at a specialist unit at the Royal Victoria Infirmary in Newcastle (shown)
Professor Neil Mabbott, personal chair in immunopathology at the University of Edinburgh, added: 'Transmission of monkeypox virus infection in humans by sexual contact has not previously been documented, and the recent cases suggest a potentially novel means of spread.'
It came as a sexual health clinic in West London told patients to social distance amid the spate of cases.
Patients were also asked if they had any unusual bumps or rashes prior to each appointment.
Monkeypox can be mistaken for syphilis or other common rash illnesses, making it difficult to diagnose early.
A health source told MailOnline the stricter measures were not part of new national guidance but they could not rule out some NHS boards 'putting in measures locally'.
What is the Monkeypox virus and what are the risks and symptoms?
Monkeypox – often caught through handling monkeys – is a rare viral disease that kills around 10 per cent of people it strikes, according to figures.
The virus responsible for the disease is found mainly in the tropical areas of west and central Africa.
Monkeypox was first discovered in 1958, with the first reported human case in the Democratic Republic of Congo in 1970. Human cases were recorded for the first time in the US in 2003 and the UK in September 2018.
It resides in wild animals but humans can catch it through direct contact with animals, such as handling monkeys, or eating inadequately cooked meat.
The virus can enter the body through broken skin, the respiratory tract, or the eyes, nose or mouth.
The virus is transmitted via respiratory droplets during prolonged face-to-face contact or bodily fluids.
Symptoms usually appear within five and 21 days of infection. These include a fever, headache, muscle aches, swollen lymph nodes, chills and fatigue.
The most obvious symptom is a rash, which usually appears on the face before spreading to other parts of the body. This then forms skin lesions that scab and fall off.
Monkeypox is usually mild, with most patients recovering within a few weeks without treatment. Yet, the disease can often prove fatal.
There are no specific treatments or widely-available vaccines for monkeypox infection, according to the World Health Organization.
The UKHSA bosses have now written to regional NHS teams telling them to stock up on PPE and be on alert for patients with a new rash.
Of the UK's seven cases, five are in London, one in the South East, and one in the North East.
The first patient, who was diagnosed nearly two weeks ago, had brought the virus back from Nigeria, where the disease is endemic.
Experts have admitted the cases are 'unusual' but insisted any outbreak is likely to be small.
Dr Head added: 'There's currently gaps in our knowledge, and the contact tracing and public health investigation being carried out by UKHSA will no doubt reveal more in due course, for example about how pattern of transmission.
'However, it would be very unusual to see anything more than a handful of cases in any outbreak, and we won't be seeing Covid-style levels of transmission.'
At least three patients are receiving care at specialist NHS units in London and Newcastle.
Monkeypox can kill up to one in 10 people it infects, but all seven UK cases have the West African form of it, which is less deadly, killing about one in 100 people.
In a letter sent to regional health teams on Monday, the UKHSA urged hospitals to ensure they have appropriate PPE in stock.
They have also been told to look out for patients who have rashes without a clear diagnosis.
The letter was sent by Dr Susan Hopkins, chief medical advisor to the UKHSA, and Dr Thomas Waite, England's deputy chief medical officer.
Commenting last night, Dr Hopkins said: 'UKHSA is rapidly investigating the source of these infections because the evidence suggests that there may be transmission of the monkeypox virus in the community, spread by close contact.
'We are particularly urging men who are gay and bisexual to be aware of any unusual rashes or lesions and to contact a sexual health service without delay.'
Experts admitted the recent spate of cases was 'unprecedented' in the UK but insisted the virus will not take off like Covid.
Dr Herd added: 'Whilst part of a different family of viruses, a pragmatic comparison might be to suggest that this virus behaves in a similar fashion to Lassa Fever, where we saw a few cases here in the UK earlier in 2022, tragically with an associated death; however, the outbreak did not spread more widely.
'Here, the risks to the wider UK public are extremely low, and we do have healthcare facilities that specialise in treating these tropical infections.'
Professor Jimmy Whitworth, a public health expert at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine (LSHTM), said: 'This outbreak of monkeypox is unprecedented in the UK and has provoked urgent public health action.
'There is a need to engage with the at-risk community of gay and bisexual men to ensure they know about the presence of this infection and report any sign and symptoms to health facilities.
'Cases need to be identified, isolated and treated, either in hospital or at home, depending on severity and circumstances.
'Close contacts need to be identified and monitored for signs of infection. Monkeypox is not very transmissible and with these measures the outbreak can be quickly brought under control.
'Monkeypox is a viral infection usually seen in forested areas in west and central Africa. It is spread by small mammals and can affect people living in rural areas who come into contact with them.
'It will have been brought to the UK recently by a traveller from west or central Africa who was incubating the infection. It spreads by close contact, either through touching the person, or items such as bedding or shared utensils.
'It can cause serious illness, although most people recover fully within a few weeks. Treatment is generally supportive as there are no specific drugs available.
'However a vaccine is available that can be given to prevent the development of disease.'

Rotting and Leaking roofs are a hell of an inconvenience. However, damaged roofs are unavoidable, especially when your current roof has taken a lot of previous damage from all kinds of weather. This is why maintaining your roof's condition is important.
A wet, leaky roof invites a lot of mold and mildew which can compromise our lungs and overall immune system. The leak from the roof can also cause some serious damage to a home. It can ruin wooden furniture, walls, and other parts of your home.
This homeowner from Portland is having the issues mentioned because of a rotting and leaking roof. Read on to know how our team remedied the situation.
Prepping Walls for Siding Installation
To start, we removed all damaged roof materials, especially those infested with mold as it would just continue to rot the roof if not remedied entirely. Thus, we removed ALL current barge boards & replaced them with new pre-primed barge boards due to rot. In addition, we removed the existing layer of asphalt roofing.
After that we also removed RVO vents and replaced them with manufactured plywood plug, then Ice & Water. Where it is needed, we replaced the plywood with ½" CDX Plywood.
Hardie Straight Edge Panel
To ensure that the roof will maintain its durability after replacing the materials, we installed some of the following protective technologies:
These guarantee that the homeowner won't be worrying about a leaking or rotting roof anytime soon.

And these the last words of David. The declaration of David, son of Jesse, and the declaration of the man raised up for the Messiah of the God of Jacob, and the sweet songs of Israel.
Though Judah prevailed over his brothers, and from him came [David] the leader [and eventually the Messiah], yet the birthright was Joseph's—
Ye shall not touch upon my Messiah, and upon my prophets ye shall not do evil.
O Jehovah God, thou wilt not turn away the face of thy Messiah: remember for the mercies of David thy servant
Station themselves do kings of the earth, And princes have been united together, Against Jehovah, and against His Messiah:
Now I knew that Jehovah saved his Messiah; he will answer him from his holy heavens by the strength of the salvation of his right hand.
Jehovah strength to them, and he the fortress of salvations of his Messiah.
See, O God our shield, and behold the face of thy Messiah.
And thou didst cast off, and thou wilt reject; thou didst overflow with thy Messiah.
Which thine enemies reproached, O Jehovah; which they reproached the heels of thy Messiah.
Ye shall not touch upon my Messiah, and ye shall not do evil to my prophets.
"Sit at My right hand
Until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet [subjugating them into complete submission]."
For sake of David thy servant thou wilt not turn away the face of thy Messiah.
There will I cause the horn to David to spring up: I prepared a lamp for my Messiah.
"I am the Lord, I have called You (the Messiah) in righteousness [for a righteous purpose],
I will also take You by the hand and keep watch over You,
And I will appoint You as a covenant to the people [Israel],
As a light to the nations (Gentiles),
Thus said Jehovah to his Messiah, to Cyrus whom I held by his right hand to bring down nations before him; and I will loosen the loins of kings to open before him the doors; and the gates shall not be shut
"Listen carefully, I have appointed
A leader and commander to the peoples.
In those days and at that time I will cause a righteous Branch of David to spring forth; and He (the Messiah) shall execute justice and righteousness on the earth.
The spirit of our nostrils, the Messiah of Jehovah was taken in their pits, of whom we said, Under his shadow we shall live among the nations.
They will no longer be prey to the nations, and the predators of the earth will not devour them; but they will live safely, and no one will make them afraid [in the
"And to Him (the Messiah) was given dominion (supreme authority),
Glory and a kingdom,
That all the peoples, nations, and speakers of every language
Should serve and worship Him.
His dominion is an everlasting dominion
Which will not pass away;
And His kingdom is one
Which will not be destroyed.
Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.
And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.
They will break out, pass through the gate and go out;
So their King goes on before them,
The Lord at their head."
They shall devastate the land of Assyria with the sword and
The land of Nimrod within her [own] gates.
And He (the Messiah) shall rescue us from the Assyrian (all enemy nations)
When he attacks our land
And when he tramples our territory.
Thou wentest forth to save thy people, to save thy Messiah; thou didst crush the head from the house of the unjust, making naked the foundation, even to the neck. Silence.
On that day,' declares the Lord of hosts, 'I will take you, Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, My servant,' declares the Lord, 'and I will make you [through the Messiah, your descendant] like a
Then say to Joshua, 'Thus says the Lord of hosts, "Behold (look, keep in sight, watch), a Man (Messiah) whose name is Branch, for He shall branch out from His place (Israel, the Davidic line); and He shall build the [ultimate] temple of the Lord.

"Behold, I am going to send My
The record of the genealogy of
Jacob was the father of Joseph the husband of Mary, by
So all the generations from Abraham to David were 14 generations; and from David until the exile to Babylon, 14 generations; and from the exile to Babylon until the Messiah, 14 generations.
Now the birth of Jesus the Messiah happened in this way. When his mother Mary was engaged to Joseph, before they lived together she was discovered to be pregnant by the Holy Spirit.
So he assembled all the chief priests and scribes
and saying, "Repent ye: for the kingdom of the Messiah draws nigh."
from that time Jesus began to preach, "Repent, said he, for the kingdom of the Messiah draws nigh."
When John heard in prison what the Messiah was doing, he sent a message by his disciples
Messiah is greater than he.) for ever since the appearance of John the Baptist the gospel kingdom is as it were invaded, and people of the most violent passions enter into it with zeal.
Simon Peter answered, "You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God!"
And He gave the disciples orders to tell no one that He was
His disciples asked Him, "Why then [since you are obviously the Messiah] do the experts in the law of Moses say that Elijah must come first, [i.e., before the Messiah]?"
Jesus answered them, "Elijah truly was to come, and restore all things [i.e., to their proper perspective concerning the Messiah].
At the same time came the disciples to Jesus, saying, who is to be the greatest in the kingdom of the Messiah?
he therefore who shall become as void of ambition as this child, he shall be greatest in the kingdom of the Messiah.
For the kingdom of the Messiah is like a family, the master whereof went out early in the morning to hire labourers for his vineyard.
The crowds that went ahead of Him, and those that followed Him, were shouting [in praise and adoration],
Blessed [praised, glorified] is He who comes in the name of the Lord;
Hosanna in the highest [heaven]!"
the kingdom of the Messiah is such, as when a certain king made a wedding-feast for his son.
"David's," they told Him.
But be not ye called Rabbi, for one is your leader, the Messiah; and ye all are brethren.
The kingdom of the Messiah will then be such, as when ten virgins took their lamps, and went out to meet the bridegroom.
saying, "
So when they had gathered together, Pilate said to them, "Who is it you want me to release for you—Barabbas,
Pilate asked them, "What should I do then with Jesus, who is called Messiah?"
They all answered, "Crucify Him!"
Therefore, give the order to secure the grave site until the third day, so his disciples will not steal his body and then tell the people 'He has risen from the dead.' This last deception would be worse than the first one [i.e., the claim that Jesus rose from the dead would be worse than the claim that he was the Messiah]."
This is the beginning of the gospel of Jesus the Messiah, the Son of God.
But after John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, spreading the good news of the kingdom of the Messiah.
And He asked them,
Peter answered him, "You are the Messiah!" Jesus sternly ordered them not to tell anyone about him.
I declare unto you, said he, that some of you here present shall not die, till they see the kingdom of the Messiah usher'd in with power.
Then His disciples asked Him, "Why is it, [since you are obviously the Messiah], that the experts in the law of Moses say that Elijah must come first?"
Jesus answered them, "Elijah truly will come first and restore all things [i.e., to their proper perspective concerning the Messiah]. And it is [also] written [in the Scriptures] about the Son of man, that He would suffer very much and be rejected.
As He was leaving on His journey, a man ran up and knelt before Him and asked Him, "Good Teacher [You who are essentially good and morally perfect], what shall I do to inherit eternal life [that is, eternal salvation in the Messiah's kingdom]?"
But Jesus kept silent and gave no answer at all. Again the high priest was questioning Him, and saying to Him, "Are You the Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed), the Son of the
Let the Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed), the King of Israel, now come down from the cross, so that we may see and believe and trust [in Him]!" Those who were crucified with Him were also insulting Him.
He will go on ahead of the Messiah [See verse 76], in the spirit and power of Elijah, to rekindle the affections of fathers for their children, and [to influence] disobedient people to live wisely like righteous people. And he will prepare the people to be ready for [the coming of] the Lord."
For this day in the city of David there has been born for you a Savior, who is Christ the Lord (the Messiah).
Now there was a righteous and devoted man named Simeon at Jerusalem, who was expecting the consolation of the Israelites [i.e., the coming of the Messiah to save them], and the Holy Spirit was upon him.
It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not die before he had seen the Lord's Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed).
Now the people were in a state of expectation, and all were wondering in their hearts about John, as to whether he was the Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed).
Demons also were coming out of many people, shouting, "You are the Son of God!" But He rebuked them and would not allow them to speak, because they knew that He was the Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed).
and sent two of them to Jesus, with this question, are you the Messiah, or must we yet wait for some other?
I declare unto you, among the whole race of mankind, there is not a prophet, who is superiour to John the Baptist: yet he that is most inferiour in the kingdom of the Messiah, is greater than he.

For You will not abandon my soul to Sheol; Nor will You allow Your Holy One to undergo decay. You will make known to me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; In Your right hand there are pleasures forever.
Envoys will come out of Egypt; Ethiopia will quickly stretch out her hands to God. Sing to God, O kingdoms of the earth, Sing praises to the Lord, Selah. To Him who rides upon the highest heavens, which are from ancient times; Behold, He speaks forth with His voice, a mighty voice. Ascribe strength to God; His majesty is over Israel And His strength is in the skies. O God, You are awesome from Your sanctuary The God of Israel Himself gives strength and power to the people Blessed be God!
May he vindicate the afflicted of the people, Save the children of the needy And crush the oppressor. Let them fear You while the sun endures, And as long as the moon, throughout all generations. May he come down like rain upon the mown grass, Like showers that water the earth. In his days may the righteous flourish, And abundance of peace till the moon is no more. May he also rule from sea to sea And from the River to the ends of the earth. Let the nomads of the desert bow before him, And his enemies lick the dust. Let the kings of Tarshish and of the islands bring presents; The kings of Sheba and Seba offer gifts. And let all kings bow down before him, All nations serve him. For he will deliver the needy when he cries for help, The afflicted also, and him who has no helper. He will have compassion on the poor and needy, And the lives of the needy he will save. He will rescue their life from oppression and violence, And their blood will be precious in his sight; So may he live, and may the gold of Sheba be given to him; And let them pray for him continually; Let them bless him all day long. May there be abundance of grain in the earth on top of the mountains; Its fruit will wave like the cedars of Lebanon; And may those from the city flourish like vegetation of the earth. May his name endure forever; May his name increase as long as the sun shines; And let men bless themselves by him; Let all nations call him blessed. Blessed be the LORD God, the God of Israel, Who alone works wonders. And blessed be His glorious name forever; And may the whole earth be filled with His glory Amen, and Amen.
The stone which the builders rejected Has become the chief corner stone. This is the LORD'S doing; It is marvelous in our eyes. This is the day which the LORD has made; Let us rejoice and be glad in it. O LORD, do save, we beseech You; O LORD, we beseech You, do send prosperity! Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the LORD; We have blessed you from the house of the LORD. The LORD is God, and He has given us light; Bind the festival sacrifice with cords to the horns of the altar. You are my God, and I give thanks to You; You are my God, I extol You. Give thanks to the LORD, for He is good; For His lovingkindness is everlasting.

Ask ECRI: Informed Consent for Repeat Injections
October 11, 2017 | Ambulatory Care Risk Management
A risk manager recently wrote to ECRI Institute asking for guidance on how frequently the practice should obtain new informed consent from patients who receive injections on a regular basis. For example, some types of vaccines (such as for human papillomavirus) and contraceptives are administered several times per year. Should consent be obtained again on every visit, the member asked, or is an annual review sufficient, with documentation kept on file at the practice?
In our reply, we stated that obtaining patients' informed consent every time they receive birth control injections...

I'd like to date a girl in my community, But she doesn't want to be my girl The girls in class don't seem to notice me I can't hide my emotional pain Even though I'm attracted to some girls,

"Does death frighten you?" she asked as she sipped her warm coffee. I replied with a simple "No." Sitting across from the interviewer. An easy answer to such a complicated question.
Sugar-coated cinnamon sticks,Your fingers pluck them from a dusty glass jarOn a honey-baked solstice day. Sun shining bright, bright in my eyes,And in yours,
You broke me Threw me to the Floor Let me Shatter Glass everywhere
And she scratched and clawedAt her fragile skin,Ripping off scabs and scars,Watching the red begin surface.The blood dripped down her legsUntil it blended with thered of her toenails.
I sit here; you sit there I try to avoid your sidelong stare Your hands are twitching by your side I ignore the nerves you try to hide This is why I don't go out on dates
The rain drops fall, caressing her face The tight curls of her hair unwinding Her eyes look down, words lost in space Her hands cross slowly, searching, finding A small bit of solace in each other
We approached the counter, side by side.
Can we make a date; can we make a date for life; can we make a date for summer swings and long soft snowy nights; Can we make a date? for dreams: for songs: for hair too long

See Four Styles Dominating Photography This Season
By Lars - 7 min read
A closer look at EyeEm's Spring / Summer Visual Trends.
Recently, we released the latest edition of our biannual visual trends reports – an in-depth look at the colors, subjects, and styles that are shaping photography this season.
Let's take a close look at the third chapter of the report: Styles.
Mess is More
Lately, photographers have turned away from reduced aesthetics and instead embraced vivid colors. This trend is also visible in the styling of photos: Packing a frame full of details is a potent antidote to the sober minimalism of the last years.
It may not appear calm and soothing, but it gives the eye something to discover. The trend is inspired by traditional African fabric prints, which often feature intricate patterns and loud, clashing colors.
Sense of Touch
Digitization may have simplified our lives in many respects, but it has also caused an unintended disenfranchisement with the physical world: We're spending more time holding our smartphones than physically interacting with our surroundings.
Photographers are suggesting that something has been lost, and they're expressing it with depictions of the human hand.
Their pictures show hands interacting with screens, people, or the natural world. As you might notice, many viewers relate to these images on a visceral level. The subjects pictured seem tangible, which makes the photos come alive.
Including the hand in a photo also instills it with a sense of yearning: A desire to touch physical objects rather than just their digital representations.
Botanical Worlds
Plants are having a moment. They have long served as decoration, but the design and art worlds have rediscovered how well the organic shapes of leaves pair with the straight lines of the built environment.
These days, you can spot plants everywhere: Tiny succulents adorn shop windows, flower designs make it into exhibitions, and leafy greens into color guidebooks.
It's only natural that plants have started appearing in photos as well. You can see them as backdrops for portraits, as colorful accents in interior shots, or even as the main subject of a photo.
The New Bohemian
Each generation discovers its own way of capturing travel and the adventure it brings. Not long ago, bloggers revolutionized travel photography with their personal, slow-travel approach that valued stories over distances.
We're now seeing a departure from that approach: Travel photography has become about capturing the feeling of wanderlust, of trekking across long distances and arriving at a dramatic scenery.
Going the distance is more expensive and physically taxing, but travelers make do with a frugal lifestyle on the road. Travel photos reflect this attitude through an unfiltered, raw aesthetic that emphasizes real life over staged scenes.
Often, they feature humans in the frame to supply a sense of scale: When nature is as dramatic as in these shots, you simply need a reference point.
To see even more example pictures and to read the remaining chapters, make sure to head over to our full Visual Trends Report that you can read for free!

Tory Lanez made some noise on New Year's Day by dropping a pair of new mixtapes, Chixtape 4 and The New Toronto 2. On the latter, Lanez seems to have taken a shot at fellow Toronto native Drake on a track which adds fuel to the pair's past war of words.
On "Drive You Crazy" from The New Toronto 2, Lanez spits some aggressive bars over the driving track, but a few lines in particular stand out. Lanez borrows Drake's "'Bout to make Forbes list/Everything's gorgeous" line from "5AM In Toronto" and then raps, "And I pray I never dress like y'all/ Only bird on my shirt is when I press that raw."
The two took subtle digs at each other throughout 2016, though Lanez has repeatedly said it's just healthy competition and that the supposed beef between the pair is overblown.
Drake's assumed shot from "Summer Sixteen" toward Lanez was also heavily discussed online, with Lanez claiming early in 2016 that he would never attack Drake on wax over the perceived disses.
Check out Tory Lanez's "Drive You Crazy" track below.

Your credit score is a significant factor in any investment. The definition of a "good" credit score varies from lender to lender. However, scores in the high 680s-700s are a standard benchmark for borrowers looking to buy a house.
Raising your credit score before applying for a first lien HELOC may increase your chances of pre-approval.
Purchasing a primary residence is an exciting investment, but it takes some smart financial steps to get there. If you're wondering how to buy a house, you're not alone in looking for ways to finance your purchase. In fact, 87% of homebuyers financed the purchase of their house in 2020. Using a first lien HELOC can help you manage the financial commitment. First, you'll need to get approved. Here's what the process looks like and what you can do to get started.
If you're wondering how to buy a home with a first lien HELOC, it all starts with your home equity. A first lien HELOC offers flexible borrowing ability similar to a credit card. Both have credit limits, but a HELOC is based on how much your home is worth, or home equity. The amount also depends on each lender. Typically, lenders grant up to 80% of a borrower's home equity. After determining your home equity, other factors based on this value should be determined. These include your loan-to-value ratio, credit score, and debt-to-income-ratio.
Lenders also calculate your debt-to-income (DTI) ratio, which also estimates your borrowing risk. It also shows how much borrowers can manage along with their other outstanding loans.
As a rule of thumb, a post it's good to keep your debt-to-income ratio under 36%. High mortgages that occupy 28% of your debt can also skew this ratio.
Besides your home loans, your debt-to-income ratio includes overall loans. These loans may be credit cards, auto, insurance, and student loans. Your overall debt also includes other forms of debt besides loans such as alimony or child support.
If you need to raise your credit score, make sure to borrow in proportion to your credit limit. According to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, you should borrow no more than 30% of your total credit limit.
Credit scores are composed of overall debt payment history, the length of that history, and outstanding debt. This means that making timely and consistent payments can help you maintain a positive score.
Sign up on FirstLienHeloc.com to get connected with a licensed lender who can deliver an all-in-one 1st Lien HELOC. They'll walk you through the application process and help outline your budget, your numbers, and exactly how much you can save by replacing your mortgage.
