Lend me your ear (or how I became Disgusting of Tunbridge Wells!)
2008-05-01 22:11:00 Tunbridge Wells Luncheon ClubMy first speaking engagement last month was on 3 April for a ladies' luncheon club in Tunbridge Wells. I got the 05.20 coach from Bournemouth to Victoria (so much cheaper than the train!) and our very well-spoken driver announced that no-one should drink alcohol, smoke, eat hot food or pee with loo seat down. He then told us to enjoy our trip. That will be difficult, I thought; he's just banned every pleasure known to Man! Seriously, I wouldn't do any of the above but I did marvel at how fresh he made an announcement which he must have made so many times sound.Something else I don't do (well, not very often and certainly not at this time of year) is swimming but, nevertheless, I had managed to develop a condition called Swimmer's Ear which causes muffled hearing and a runny discharge but I was more worried about the latter as far as the upcoming talk was concerned.There have been times in the past when my ears have been blocked (listening to music, ...

Don’t Lend to Gisele Bundchen, or Any Other Supermodel
2008-03-12 18:22:00 There is an interesting study presented by Enrichetta Ravina that studied an online lending market in which 7,321 borrowers posted 11,957 loan requests that included verifiable financial information, photos, an offered interest rate, and related context. The study examined the interest rates and default rates based on appearances of the borrowers. Borrowers whose appearance is rated above average are 1.41 percentage points more likely to get a loan and, given a loan, pay 81 basis points less than an average-looking borrower with the same credentials. Black borrowers pay between 139 and 146 basis points more than otherwise similar White borrowers. However, in my sample such personal characteristics are not, all else equal, significantly related to subsequent delinquency rates - with the exception of beauty, which is associated with substantially higher delinquency rates. It certainly aids the argument that black borrowers are discriminated against. It then raises the arg...

Why Lend Money if You Can Get it Free?
2007-10-29 07:30:00 A lot of people try to get a second mortgage or reinvest bond on their house to make ends meet. They even use it to start a Internet Home Business and when that fail, they are deeper in dept. A second bond is a supplement to the first bond. In simple terms, it can be defined as a property loan that is placed on a first bond. A second mortgage or bond is also called as a home equity loan. When a person has been living in a home for a long enough time, then the home builds up in value. This appreciated value of the home is called as the equity. The equity is also built up when some part of the principal is already paid off while making the monthly payments. This enables the borrower to take a second loan against the equity that has built up over the years. While taking a second mortgage, care should be taken that the total payments on the first and the second mortgages do not go beyond affordable limits. One way to determine this is to check that the total value of the mortgages does ...

Friends, Romans, Countryman Lend Me Your Ear
2007-09-14 22:17:00 Thanks to network television continued refusal to put anything worth watching during the summer, I get to use that time to catch up on some quality television I may have missed. Namely the ones on premium channels that I don’t subscribe to in part because I am what the government like to classify as poor but more importantly if I subscribed to one of them I would sit around and watch movies all day trying to get my money worth, not accomplishing anything else. I went through two series this summer the first of which was HBO’s reinterpretation of ancient Rome (a review of the first season of Dexter is coming later this month).Rome is basically a tale of two stories. The first follows the real life Julius Caesar and his fight for the city against former ally Quintus Pompey. Although those two tend to take the back seat to Caesar’s conniving niece Atia of the Julii and the two brats she has raised Octavia and Octavian. And they intertwine with plenty of names you should recognize... |
