Buy-to-let market

When most lose money is the time smart people make a lot of money.
Was ever in the last years a better time to buy a house and making a mortgage?
Inflation goes up, while the interest rates go down.
Which is quite unusual.
The normal scenario is interest rate on money going up with high inflation.
What will that bring?
A lower value on money, that means you will need more to live and of course MORE TO BUILD.
Which means houses' price WILL go up in the near future.
So, why not buying a house and making a mortgage?
You risk that you will own something worth much more than what you will have to pay.
And how to pay the mortgage?
They say the Buy-to-let market is going strong.
It increased by 23 per cent last year to 1,038,000 and represented 10.3 per cent of all mortgages, according to the CML figures.
This kind of investment now accounts for one out of every five mortgages which are taken out in order to buy a new property.
The only thing you have to consider if following my advice, in making Mortgages to buy a house to let, is the location of it.
Do you intend to rent it permanently or, if you have some spare time, as a weekly vacation house?
Depending on the use you want to do of it, there are better locations and better kind of houses.
Just remember, not ALL houses ARE the same, even when they look the same...

The "smart" garden of the near future

A concept auto navigation garden watering system for 2015, the concept was introduced by a designer named Yopi Djauhar - currently studying in Product Design degree course in Limkokwing university, Malaysia.


By 2015, we might see Beyflo navigating on its own through your garden. It can refill water and recharge on its own. The power is located on top, make it easier for users to turn it on/off. Plants location is not a problem for Beyflo, because it can reach further by increasing its water pump pressure.

To avoid obstacles it comes with higher ground clearance and to avoid obstacles when moving through rough terrain it is cleverly equipped with object sensors. The wheel is made up from solid PU for good traction. PCB is the central processing unit that control motor, pump and power portion to each component.

Will we be able to use Carbon without CO2?

Georgia Tech scientists have developed a new material that, combined with the right process, could become the cheapest way to separate the greenhouse gas, carbon dioxide, out of coal plants' smokestacks.

"It's pretty easy and cheap to make and it's got a high capacity for CO2 under realistic conditions," said Chris Jones, a chemical engineer at Georgia Tech.

Those conditions require a material that can trap CO2 out of a mixture of water vapor, nitrogen, and oxygen (among other things), and then release that carbon dioxide on-demand. Being able to do that cheaply remains a dream, and one that some say will always remain "vaporware."

But scientists are pushing on with the effort to develop the right systems to make coal plants outfitted with carbon capture and sequestration cost-competitive with other future power solutions like solar concentrating plants.

88 minutes

In 88 Minutes, Al Pacino stars as Dr. Jack Gramm, a college professor who moonlights as a forensic psychiatrist for the FBI.
It would take 88 minutes to Al Pacino to die, it takes just 5 minutes to understand he won't.
In the best TV movies style, the plot is more or less the same.
On one side the bad who desperately tries to involve the good (who usually lost a wife or a sister in a dramatic way) and almost succeeds to frame him with the aid of a psychological weak partner.
The guilty is known since the beginning, the accomplice usually is the person you would and could least suspect.
Well, it ends, of course, with the bad's death and the good's rehabilitation.
If Al Pacino was not the main character, it would be a good episode of a discreet TV series.

It got difficult to find good movies lately.
The problem is that the number of good stories and good actors is almost the same, while the number of movies has dramatically increased.
It gives the (true) impression the most of the latest films are rubbish.
Good is rare, if it was common it wouldn't be good, it would just be normal.
We are always at the same: The Good, The Bad, and The Successful.

Welcome Spring

Once I dreamed to live in a place like Florida.
Summer all year long.
Sun and beaches.
Then I met somebody from Florida.
"I am going to move to Denver", "Why?” I asked kind of bewildered, "Because I am fed up with this hot weather".
I couldn't believe my ears, but then I began thinking.
What would my life be without Spring?
Nobody can understand how beautiful Spring can be, unless he had a Winter.
And a Winter as we have in North of Italy, with a lot of snow, fog and very low temperatures.
Spring is like been reborn every year.
Spring is looking at your garden and seeing the small green leaves growing on your trees, the first tulips and daffodils and hyacinths.
When you are lucky enough to have a garden Spring is the most beautiful show you can have in your life.
And late February, early March are the best time to begin working and planning and planting.
This year I made a big order at Direct Gardening taking advantage of several coupons I got from Coupon Chief.
The secret to have a nice garden and beautiful flowers and plants is to buy them in the right place, where they have healthy plants and a good selection.
They even help you to organize your garden with precious suggestions.

You can also get good coupons from the same source and buy what you need at good prices.
Well, what can I say more: Welcome Spring!
