"It'll Be My Turn To Tell My Story," Says Priya Ramani After Getting Bail In Defamation Suit Filed By MJ Akbar
"The truth is my defence," said senior journalist Priya Ramani, who was yesterday granted bail by a Delhi court in connection with a defamation case filed by former Union minister MJ Akbar against her. She was granted bail on a surety of Rs 10,000 and was asked to appear again before the court on April 10, reported by NDTV.
Confident about the truth in her story, she said, "The next date when they will frame the charges against me is April 10. After that, it will be my turn to tell my story."
What happened?
Last year during the #MeToo movement, journalist Priya Ramani accused Akbar of sexual misconduct. She alleged that MJ Akbar first tried to sexually abuse her 20 years ago when he was an editor at AsianAge Newspaper. In 2018, she featured him in her article for a magazine, where she had the support of multiple women with accounts of alleged sexual harassment by Akbar. Following this, Akbar resigned from the Union Council of Minister on October 17, 2018, and filed a defamation case against Ms Ramani.
On the day of his resignation, Ramani tweeted, "As women, we feel vindicated by MJ Akbar's resignation. I look forward to the day when I will also get justice in court."
Terming the allegations false and fabricated, he said to the court that an "immediate damage" has been caused to him, reported The Times of India. He was being supported by six close people who played the role of his witness during Court's hearing where they said that "they were shocked and dismayed after reading the tweets and that Akbar's reputation has been lowered in their eyes," reported News18.
Ramani was one of the 20 odd-female journalists including Ghazala Wahab, Shuma Raha, Anju Bharti and Shutapa Paul who claimed to work with Akbar in 1990s and are victims of Akbar's sexual harassment. Among them, one woman is a United States-based journalist who claims that she was assaulted at a Jaipur hotel over 23 years ago. A number of senior journalists went to the court yesterday to support Priya Ramani while MJ Akbar was missing.
To defend his absence, Akbar's lawyer opposed Ramani's request for exemption from appearance in court and said that the politician would appear in court whenever the court wants him to. While the journalist's advocate Rebecca John said, "Since the offence is bailable in nature, Ramani should be granted bail subject to furnishing personal bond and surety bond in the sum of Rs 10,000. The court accepted the application and the bond furnished."

Starting a business in Oxford: nom foods
The organic food business' founder talks about why, with a good support network and creative atmosphere, Oxford is a good place to start a business
Company name: nom foods
Founder: Steph Croft-Simon
Founded: 2013
Description: nom foods is an organic foods business that produces a range of super-food products
Website: www.nomfoods.co.uk
What's great about starting a business in Oxford?
Oxford is a beautiful city. There are lots of academic and creative people here. It's a great place to live and work. The main advantage for me being in Oxford was we had a good support network here. My friends and family had to help out a lot in the early days – boxing up orders, packaging product etc.
Another great thing about Oxford is that space is relatively cost effective; we got a nice unit for an affordable price that is surrounded by fields – which suits the wholesome, organic feel of the business.
What business support in Oxford have you used? How was it?
In the business planning stages, we went to meet some Oxford business advisors, who were very helpful and able to offer advice about things we were not so experienced in such as financials and forecasts etc. We have also had brilliant support from the group that run the business park where we rent our unit – Jennings. They are brilliant.
Name the top three reasons to set up a business in Oxford:
- Surrounded by inspiring culture and history.
- It's within good distance of London and easily accessible for meetings etc.
- It's a friendly and beautiful place.
Where could Oxford be better / what does it need?
Oxford needs more of a network of young professionals! We have plenty of students and families but not much in-between.
How easy has it been to access finance to grow?
I don't think it's ever easy to access finance to grow! Nom was provided some funding by HSBC in the first year. This was invaluable for our growth and we were grateful as at the beginning as it was difficult to get funding anywhere else in Oxford.
However, as we are now starting to think about raising more cash to launch exciting new products and increase our overseas activity, we have found there are more options.
Where do you go to network in Oxford?
We mostly went to advisors and the business park groups as networking channels are not great here or at least we don't really know about any – so far we have had to travel to network with businesses in a similar industry.
Where do you take a client for a business lunch?
As the city is suited to both families and students, there is a variety of places with many unique and independent restaurants to choose from!
Where's great for a company night out?
Again as there is a big student population, there are loads to choose from – and many places are directed at this young, creative community which means they tend to be quite innovative and good to go to.

Download She Got The Best Of Me – Luke Combs Ringtone Free For Iphone And Android
Artist: Luke Combs
Album: This One's For You (Luke Combs album)
Released: 2017
Category: Country Music
Luke Combs released the deluxe edition of his debut album, titled This One's for You Too, earlier this month. The 17-track album includes five new songs, many of which Combs has been playing at shows throughout his career. One of those tracks includes the heartbreaking "She Got the Best of Me" which is a staple in his live set.
On "She Got the Best of Me" Combs sings of his first heartbreak as a teenager. "Seventeen, you don't think that much about life / You just live it," he sings on the first verse. As the song progresses, Combs explains how he jumped into love at that young age, never afraid of anything. Things soon change, though, as it's obvious the singer had a falling out with his girl by the time the chorus hits.

As the "blogger" for The Disciples College and The Mission for Biblical Literacy, I am frequently asked two questions by friends and colleagues:
- Can you tell me more about Dr. "Woody" Kent, the sponsor of the blog "Counting the Cost"? and
- What are the curriculum tracks which are offered for Biblical Literacy and Education for Ministry?
Who is The Reverend Dr. R. Woods Kent?
Dr. Kent (Woody) is an honored Minister of the Gospel, educated in some of the premier institutions in America, and respected and honored for scholarship, alumnus service, writing, and, or course, ministry — local congregations, regional ministries, national ministries, and international societies. Woody was Ordained in the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) in 1962. He graduated with a B.A. from Lynchburg University, the M.A. from Butler University, the M. Div. from Christian Theological Seminary, and the D. Min. degree from Pittsburgh Theological Seminary. He served congregations in Kentucky, Indiana, Florida, and Georgia. He was a distinguished and highly acclaimed Regional Minister of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) in Virginia, from where he served as the Regional-General Church Relations Committee Chair of the College of Regional Ministers. Some, but not all, of his appointments include service on Campus Ministries Boards at the Universities of Miami and of Evansville, of Purdue University, and of Florida Institute of Technology. He was a member of the Board of Trustees of Lynchburg University, where he was also named as the recipient of "The Distinguished Alumni Award." His earned the Rapp Doctoral Dissertation Award from Pittsburgh Theological Seminary (his dissertation is in at least 114 Accredited Seminary Libraries) and he has been published in "The Disciple", "Vanguard", and "Minister's Bulletin." Woody was honored by the International Society of Theda Phi and the Shenandoah Valley Clergy and Congregations. He served on the Church Finance Council, a General Disciples Unit, and on the Joint International Educators Committee of the National Council of Churches.
The Sponsorship of this Blog by Dr. Kent is an honor to both Christian College of Georgia…"The Disciples College", and to the Mission for Biblical Literacy. We regard him with esteem and gratitude, and it is our desire to share information and inspiration in a manner and style which honors his service and his devotion to God's people.
Woody really likes this cartoon.
What Are the Curriculum Tracks for Students?
The Disciples College, in Partnership with The Mission for Biblical Literacy offers THREE Curriculum Tracks for Biblical Literacy, Biblical Education, and Discipleship:
For Seekers: We currently offer an eight-week course including sixty (60) courses (average 5 minutes) and eight class meetings, all designed to introduce ANYONE to the basics of the Christian Faith. This is discussed in greater detail in the previous three blogs. This is also a method of EVANGELISM for Christians who see and act on opportunities to introduce others to Christ. In this sense, it is a tool for the Church, and it is arranged in a manner in which a person may actually mentor someone else as they move deeper into a relationship with God and and understanding of the Gospel, the Bible, and the Christian Faith. How is your evangelism ministry going as a mature disciple of Jesus Christ? Are you introducing others to the Faith? If you have grown a bit sluggish in this regard, this could be your opportunity to invite someone to join you in a class. The cost is only $12.00 per student, and that includes tuition-for-to ("two-ition"): the student and his or her mentor.
For Followers: We offer two courses for those who see themselves as ready to dive deep into a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. It is that simple. The courses are "Life is a Journey" which continues the relationship of the student with a mentor. The cost is a bit more, but the content is also much more involved. Is is assumed that each student has already made a personal commitment to Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord, and it is understood that each student will have a mentor (again, there is no additional cost for the mentor to enroll, but he or she will need a copy of the student's guide and the mentor's guide, both free as downloadable documents). This course continues over twelve (12) weeks and enrollment is $36.00. The second course in this curriculum is entitled "Fifty-two Major Stories of the Bible." This course is more "independent" and the students meet, with or without mentors, for twenty-six (26) sessions. This course also requires that the student submit brief summaries of each of fifty-two stories (26 Old Testament and 26 New Testament), along with a cumulative paper describing the impact of the course on his/her life and faith. This course can also be conducted in small groups, where all participants watch the lectures (time is about 25 – 40 minutes average per lecture) and then have their own discussion facilitated by a group member. The cost of this course is also $26.00. The total cost (unless a student elects to purchase the books rather than download the books) is $62.00. And the mentor enrolls for free.
For Disciples: This is where the students begin to experience a greater degree of independence. At this point, the student is actually enrolled in The Disciples College, but the focus of the year of enrollment is "Biblical Literacy". The student will have several options from which to choose one. These options are produced by three different ministries. One is more "academic" in nature, with lectures and quizzes, and introduces critical methods of Bible study. One is more narrative, walking the student through the Bible with stimulating pictures and maps corresponding to Biblical history, events and personalities. And one is more directed at the more contemporary methods of teaching and learning with rich video content and assigned readings. All three options are excellent, and none is preferred over another. The student and his academic advisor will collaborate in selecting the best option. There are cost differences, but none are what would be regarded as "expensive" for a first year of a College curriculum (in other words, $19 – $49 per month. There are eighteen classroom sessions for this year of study, all done online through http://www.zoominary.com and available on any device.
Two More Courses of Study Available From The Disciples College
For Servant-Leaders: Many consider this our preparation for ministry and possibly ministerial standing (licensing, commissioning, ordination, etc.) for students. There are fifteen areas of competency in this curriculum, and each year is a stand-alone year. In other words, within completion of the second year of "Servant-Leadership Education" a student may earn a Disciples College degree. This will not be outlined in detail here, as it is a very extensive course of study. Extensive, not expensive. Most students can enroll for less than $800 for the year. Additional years with honors are similarly priced. Monthly payments are arranged.
For Digital Marketplace Ministers: Here is a question: where will you find most Christians today? Where do they hangout? Where do they interact and carry on a social life? Where do they learn? Where do they google (hint) to get answers to their questions? Exactly. The Digital Marketplace is the new arena for ministry. If you are going fishing, the best way to ensure that you catch fish is to "fish close to them." Likewise with "fishers of men and women." What does Christ tell us the he will make us as his disciples who choose the lifestyle of servant-leadership, whether or not we carry a "ministerial title"? The Disciples College offers a new degree for a new era: The Master of Digital Marketplace Ministry. Watch this blog and our websites for further information. Enrollment in this program begins in July, 2018.
What Is My Next Step?
Well, that's it; answers to two frequently asked questions. If you read this far, you are interested. And if you are interested, you can help us by (a) liking the blog and leaving a comment, and (b) sharing the blog post with someone else. More importantly, however, if that THIS BLOG offers you an opportunity to introduce someone to Jesus Christ. Will you do it?
Need help: Call Dr. Bob Harris, President of The Disciples College and The Mission for Biblical Literacy. Or email to email@example.com Depending on where you are in the world, recognize that our hours of operation are between 10 a.m. and 8 p.m Eastern Standard Time (US). Thank you.

OCONOMOWOC, Wis. – We first met Mustang owner and collector Scott Moen way back in 1996, when some two-dozen members of the Wisconsin Early Mustangers Club drove their Mustangs to Dearborn to spend a few days touring various Ford-related attractions, including a visit to what was then the Ford Special Vehicle Team complex. We couldn't help but notice that while his fellow club members were looking over and asking questions about the SVT vehicles that we had on display, Scott was checking out and asking questions about all the posters, die-cast model cars and SVT marketing materials that he had spotted in our office cubicles.
Turns out Scott's not only a board member of the Wisconsin Early Mustangers Club of Oak Creek, a town along the western shores of Lake Michigan just south of Milwaukee, but he's also an avid model car collector and a prolific Mustang memorabilia collector. We've kept in touch with Scott over the years and finally got the chance to visit with him when we were invited to attend the Wisconsin Early Mustangers 35th Annual All Ford Show at Ewald's Venus Ford in Cudahy, Wisconsin, on Sunday, May 21, 2017. We set up a Ford Performance Meet & Greet table and gave away full color Shelby Mustang posters to help the club celebrate 50 years of the Shelby GT500. But we also got the chance to get a peek inside Scott's garage before the show.
Tammy and Scott Moen's garage holds thousands of Mustangs and is a known entity within the Mustang enthusiast community. Back in 2000, the Moens said they decided to "house our big Mustangs with our little Mustangs. So we built a 20x36-foot second garage and attached it to the back of our main garage." Today it holds Scott's collection of more than 6,500 miniature Mustangs, from plastic models to die-casts, as well as the couple's 1984 20th Anniversary Mustang convertible and their 2004 Mach 1. The garage is climate controlled and features a cathedral ceiling and recessed lighting, with nearly every inch of wall space covered with display cases, pictures, posters and unique Ford dealership memorabilia.
We brought our camera along and snapped a few photos of what we saw in the Moens' "Mustang Garage" to share with you. While we couldn't help but notice Scott's interest in Mustang 25th, 30th, 35th and 40th anniversary memorabilia, we were simply overwhelmed with the variety in his extensive die-cast and plastic model collection. Take a look at the photos in our gallery below and see if you can spot some of Scott's rare Mustang promotional dealer items. (Our thanks to Scott and Tammy Moen for their hospitality during our visit to Wisconsin!)

The Print for the first part for the Valify Robot lawnmower finished this night. I was already aware of the cracking on the outer shell I spotted it when I got home. But I let the print continue, because it was so close to finish (7h). The total Print time landed around 45h and wasted around 550grams of filament. I wanted to see and touch the complete part. So see if I should do something different before trying to print it again.
Here is the part:
I also tried to mount the motor with the disc mount, the other motor mounts are in printing now (I am testing to increase the filament temperature to see if I can get better layer adhesion).
So For the next prints I will need to go back to calibration. I think I will try a brand new Buildtak Sheet with 80C for first layer and then 60C for the rest. I will also Install a blower fan and mount the covers on the existing fans reducing the cooling for first layer. Then I will turn on the blower at 40%.
Tried a new BuildTak sheet and cracked the temperature up to 240C when printing the motor mounts. Printed with 10% infill and 2 shells. They layer bond is actually so hard I can't even brake them now. Not very nice. But hey, I need structure strength. Lets prints some more test parts with this settings to see how it goes.

The best part of being an ENT is that almost every procedure can be learnt by Cadaver Dissection. Cultivate (?bribe) some mortuary fellows, medical officers etc and dissect on fresh cadavers. If possible keep a separate portable suction etc in your vehicle along with the instruments and dissect, dissect, dissect. Then observe as many people as you can (videos, live, mini fellowships, observerships etc.) and again come back and dissect some more (applying what you've seen). And never stop dissecting. Some of the most pioneering approaches in ENT were (and indeed still are) first conceived, honed and practiced on cadavers..... Dr Yogesh Jain

Montelukast in the treatment of allergic rhinitis: an evidence-based review.
Abstract Cysteinyl-leukotrienes (CysLTs) are endogenous mediators of inflammation and play an important role in allergic airway disease by stimulating bronchoconstriction, mucus production, mucosal oedema and inflammation, airway infiltration by eosinophils, and dendritic cell maturation that prepares for future allergic response. Montelukast inhibits these actions by blocking type 1 CysLT receptors found on immunocytes, smooth muscle and endothelium in the respiratory mucosa. Initially developed as a treatment for asthma, montelukast has more recently found use in the treatment of allergic rhinitis (AR). We conducted a systematic review of studies that have evaluated montelukast in the treatment of seasonal AR (SAR) and perennial AR (PAR), with and without concomitant asthma. Primary consideration was given to large, randomised, placebo-controlled, double-blind clinical trials in which AR endpoints were assessed and the use of concurrent treatments for AR was excluded. Eight such studies were found in the literature. The primary endpoint in these was daytime nasal symptom severity represented by a composite score derived from individual self-ratings of nasal congestion, rhinorrhoea, nasal pruritus and sneezing. Secondary endpoints have included these individual nasal symptom scores, additional scores for eye, ear and throat symptoms, the impact of rhinitis on quality of sleep, global evaluations of outcome by patients and physicians, and measures of the severity of concomitant asthma. A general outcome was that patients treated with montelukast had significantly greater improvements in their symptoms of SAR and PAR than did patients who were given a placebo. As monotherapy, montelukast exhibited efficacy similar to that of loratadine, but less than that of the intranasally administered corticosteroid fluticasone propionate. The use of montelukast in combination with antihistamines such as loratadine or cetirizine has generally resulted in greater efficacy than when these agents were used alone, and in some studies has produced results comparable with intranasally applied corticosteroids. In patients with AR comorbid with asthma, montelukast treatment has resulted in significant improvements in both, compared with placebo. Montelukast is well tolerated and has a favourable safety profile; adverse events have occurred at similar frequencies in patients taking either montelukast or placebo. Montelukast provides an effective and well tolerated oral treatment for allergic airway inflammation in patients with SAR or PAR without asthma, and in patients in whom AR is comorbid with asthma.
Julius Lempert ... Father of Modern Otology
The Julius Lempert story occurred in the early part of the 20th century. It would be an impossible accomplishment in the 21st century. The son of Mischa and Anna Lempert, Julius was born in Lublin, Poland, on July 4, 1891. Not much is known about the boy's early years. Most accounts start at age 13 when Julius joined a student protest march, was arrested by the police, and thrown in prison. READ MORE

We have confirmed acceptance by some of the well known faculty and we were also waiting for the some more acceptances.

Workshop on neurotology,13th 14th and 15th of April,Kolkata
Dear Doctor,
This is to inform you about my next workshop on neurotology and medical audiology specifically for doctors practising in ENT and neurology which I have been conducting every year for the last 12 years. This is the only workshop of its kind in this part of the world and is designed for clinicians who manage patients suffering from balance disorders and hearing disorders (vertigo, deafness and tinnitus). This year the workshop will be held in Kolkata on the 13th 14th and 15th of April. Prof Harman Kingma from the Netherlands and Prof Gorgio Guedetti from Italy both of whom are international celebrities in the field of neurotology are the invited foreign faculty. In addition we will be having some Indian doctors -neurologists and ENTs who have excelled in diagnostic and therapeutic neurotology and have special interest in vertigo as faculty members for the three-day rendezvous on contemporary neurotology.
The purpose of the workshop is to update clinicians on the diagnosis and management of vertigo and hearing disorders and evolve an ethical and judicious consensus on management. The management of balance disorders has been the most controversial and screwed up subject in contemporary medicine and an ethical consensus needs to be evolved putting all our heads together as many stalwarts in the subject will be present there. This is one of the objectives of the workshop. There will be enough scope of practical demonstrations of the various high-tech investigations for vertigo and the different liberatory manoeuvres and physical therapy for management of balance disorders. All the latest investigative modalities that are now considered essential for diagnosis of neurotological disorders like VNG, ENG, VEMP, ECochG, VHIT, Subjective Visual Vertical, CHIRP BERA, ABRIS, ASSR etc and the ethical and ideal management of balance disorders will be essence of this workshop.
I will be extremely grateful if you join us for this workshop and also circulate the details of this to your friends and colleagues. A brochure for the workshop is attached along with for your esteemed perusal.
You may get back to me for any further details that you require or ring up my secretary:- phone numbers + 91 9831477573 and +91 9836002580.

A tribute to Dr VP Sood
It is difficult to believe that the man who initiated All India Rhinology society is no more. He was the single most important person to popularize Rhinoplasty in India. He will always be remembered as Father of Indian Rhinoplasties.
Being associated with him for last seven years , I wish to honor him with the title 'MASTER OF CARTILAGES'. He was fine sculpture artist of upper and lower lateral cartilages. He was strong supporter of closed rhinoplasty techniques and He used to do all extensive cases under local anesthesia, which is again an art. His presence in operation theater was good enough to make all things fall in place.
So much confidence he generated among patients that there are generations of families which he had operated. His hands and luck were God gifted. He was a very religious person.
His Rhinoplasty and endoscopic sinus surgery courses were extremely popular in India and abroad and he conducted such courses for 38 years!
His book on Rhinoplasty remained popular for beginners. I realized it`s importance once I assisted him during surgeries. The book was sheer outcome of his vast experience.
He had been president of association of otorhinolaryngologists of India and All India Rhinology society.
He was a true fighter in personal life also. He fought his terminal illness with dignity and grace. He was active in his work till last month. Death is immortal but the way he braved his illness should be lesson for others.
The greatest concern now for me goes to Mrs Sood who was the force behind this man. I pray God to give her strength and the family to overcome his absence.
May God rest his soul in peace.
Dr. Ajay Jain

text: Dachshunds need sweaters. Seriously, this little dog, with his short coat, is like a heat-seeking missile. He'll sleep in front of the heat vent in the kitchen that blows warm air, loves a good nap in a sun puddle, and especially loves a seat on your lap under a big blanket. But, when I put a sweater on Jackson, he shakes. It's worse than shivers, it's like he is being punished, and I'm just trying to help him stay warm. When I first made his neckwarmer, it was more of a joke, but he didn't shake! So, he wears his neckwarmer pretty much daily from November through March, since 2008. He could use a new one, so when I came across the Triangle Cowl for Tiny Creatures it seemed like a great idea. The yarn is mystery stash – I think it's from Farmhouse Yarns. I cast on fewer stitches and knit for a length of 15″, then sewed the ends together. Perfect. I like how the yarn started to pool in stripes too. Pretty nice for a quickie project!

11:15 PMMONDVOLLAND released new EP for free download
When MONDVOLLAND's debut full-length album "d'Olde Roop" was released in 2010, the Dutch band had its feet firmly planted in the Blackened Folk Metal field, both in terms of their sound as well as in a lyrical content that drew on ancient myths and traditions of the Eastern Netherlands. Now, with the release of their new EP "Pestvogel", MONDVOLLAND has taken a slightly different road. The subject matter still draws on the folklore - two of the three tracks on the EP are inspired by local folk tales, whilst the "Pestvogel", or "Plague Bird" of the title track is the embodiment of the plague which decimated so much of Europe in centuries past. But with this release the band's sound is much more oriented towards blending the traditional black metal vocals with clean vocals, giving "Pestvogel" and MONDVOLLAND a unique sound. "Pestvogel" is released on the 28th of January 2012 and is available for free download in MP3 format from the band's website at http://www.mondvolland.com
MONDVOLLAND was formed in 2005 by Martijn on guitars and vocals and Mickeal (HEIDEVOLK session member) on bass and vocals, with the intention of breathing new life into the Pagan/Folk Metal scene that had become somewhat staid and lacking in originality. In Dutch "Mond vol land" literally means "mouth full of earth" and stems from a local folk story in which giants created the hills and forests of Montferland, the birthplace of the band's founders, and it was these old legends that originally inspired the duo, and continue to do so. MONDVOLLAND's current line up includes Harold on guitar and KAMPFAR drummer Ask. Frontman Martijn had this to say about the thinking behind the release of the new EP: "We are now a solid, four piece unit, and we are very satisfied with the direction the band is taking. We still retain our "folk" essence, but I would say that our sound is much "blacker" than it was before. Our decision to release the "Pestvogel" EP as a free download is really based on giving our old fans a chance to get a feel for the new direction, and hopefully gain some new followers along the way".
MONDVOLLAND is due to play at HEIDEVOLK's release party on the 25th of February 2012 at Luxor in Arnhem, and more information about the band can be found at http://www.mondvolland.com

The world suffered an unprecedented financial crisis in 2008. From all sectors, construction and house development experienced a bubble burst and many companies filed for bankruptcy. In Spain, house prices rose sixteenfold from 1998 and 2008. Many factors influenced house prices during those years, and some of the factors are the following:
- Ley del Suelo de 1998 law pursued the liberalization of land. The idea was simple: the more availability of houses, the cheaper the would get. Nevertheless, the land management was left to local governments and highly politicized savings banks.
- Overfinancing also played a fundamental role in the bubble creation process since banks used to grant loans and mortgages for the 100% of house market prices.
- Population growth.
- Sell of loans and mortgages to financial institutions (transferred risks).
Once subprime crisis erupted in the United States, house demand decreased more than 40%. In previous posts, we proved a useful framework that can help us in spotting investment opportunities, so I wanted to analyze house development sector to check if there is any undervaluated company.
Present situation
As mentioned earlier, one of the key elements that pushed houses demand was credit accessibility. While it is true that it was easy for potential customers to get loans for the 100% of the house price, nowadays the situation is very different. As we can see in the following picture, financial institutions are lending up to 65% of total house cost, measeured by the loan to value ratio:
This fact means a barrier to house ownership since households needs to hoard, on average, the 45% of the house price in cash in order to get a mortgage. This means a strong saving effort from their part.
One factor that surely benefited house demand is the zero interest rate policy carried out by central banks. According to Instituto Nacional de Estadística, the average monthly mortgage payment is around €130. Assuming a modal salary of €17.000, it means the 10% of total salary and is a proportion that can be paid without major obstacles.
As a consequence of the bubble burst, many medium and small sized construction companies disappeared. While it is true that their activity has not stopped, it has not reached pre-crisis activity volumes. According to Ministerio de Fomento, there is a stock of around 460.000 new dwellings to be sold. This figure could imply that there is an overcapacity problem in the house development industry and may discourage a possible investment from a value investing point of view. Nevertheless, if we divide this stock by the total housing stock, we can see that it is not entirely true:
As we can see, regions like Murcia, Valencia, La Rioja and Canary Islands present a level of housing stock higher that the rest of the country. However, we can say that, in most of regions, there is no excess of supply.
Once that we have see that there is no overcapacity we can measure the current dwelling demand. According to Ministerio de Fomento, housing transactions have totaled more than 125.000 dwellings. This fact can be seen on the following graph:
The most significant component is second-hand house demand, accounting for more than 80% of total demand with 115.000 houses, while demand for new ones reached 12.000 transactions. I also wanted to contrast this figure with the amount of finished dwellings published by INE during the last six years:
As we can see in the previous chart, each year about 4.000 new houses are being finished and they represent about 40%of total demand. One of the consequences of undercapacity is that both house prices and rent start rising. In the following graph, it can be seen how house prices and rent have grown at 4% and 12%, respectively:
As it is seen on the previous chart, house stock is progressively declining. What is more, both rent and house prices are continuously rising since 2013. That increase can be seen by entrepreneurs as a signal of profitability. For those reasons some property promoter companies are briefly analyzed.
Construction companies: focus on Aedas, Insur, Neinor, Quabit and Metrovacesa.
I have chosen the following property promoter companies: Aedas, Insur, Neinor Homes, Metrovacesa and Quabit. They all have developed plots across the country except for Insur which is more focused in Andalusia and Madrid. Some of the selected companies have rental businesses, but have been deducted from operating metrics in order to get the real numbers from promotion business units.
Firstly, I wanted to calculate the EBITDA margin, a widely used proxy of operational performance. The results can be observed in the following line chart:
In the light of the results obtained, it seems like none of the companies, with the exception of Insur, are profitable. Nevertheless, in house development industry, inventory should be taken into account since is the balance sheet account that receives new investments in properties and lands. For that reason, I have also calculated the house developer gross margin to have a clearer picture.
As we can see in the previous graph, companies such as Metrovacesa and Insur have the highest gross margin followed by Aedas Homes. It means that this activity is, operationally speaking, profitable and they can continue developing houses. Cash is also important for investors. The more earnings are backed by free cash flow, the safer their dividends and the better their intrinsic value since we can see which proportion of profits are backed by cash or accruals. Thus, I have checked cash flow from operations minus interest + net debt repayment. The results are the following:
We can see how Insur is the only company that are making positive cash flows.
Valuation and financial leverage
Once that we have seen the most profitable companies from an operating perspective, I have measured the margin of safety that companies are offering.
Firstly, I have extracted the Gross Asset Value from financial reports. It is a standard measure across the industry and all of them pay for a third-party valuation in order to get the most realistic asset valuation. Secondly, I have deducted the net debt to get the Net Asset Value (NAV). After dividing NAV by outstanding shares, I have compared it to the shares prices in order to get the margin of safety. I have also added on a different axis, the loan to value. This metric measures the proportion of total investments that are backed by debt:
Regarding financial leverage, Metrovacesa and Aedas stand out for their low (even negative) loan to value ratio while Neinor, Insur and Quabit exceed the average value (blue line). Regarding margin of safety, it is noticeable how Insur and Metrovacesa offer the highest difference between NAV per share and stock prices, above the red line which indicates the average margin of safety.
As we have previously seen, the resulting stock of properties from the previous construction boom stage is being steadily absorbed. What is more, the construction pace does not seem excessive when compared to house demand.
Due to the fact that it is a sector that depends on debt, attention should be paid to interest rates evolution. It is true that Central Banks are announcing the end of quantitative easing. In fact, the FED has start rising the interest rates in United States, but an abrupt increase on the price of money may not happen in the foreseeable future.
As suggested by Benjamin Graham, an investor should not ignore the Balance sheet when valuing a stock. That is the reason I have used the Net Asset Value per share in order to reach an intrinsic value for those companies. With no attempt to issue an investment recommendation, I think that the industry offers a good discount to assets with a minimum of 20% margin of safety.

How to Write a Competitive Offer and Win That House!
You've found THE perfect home to purchase and now you want to make the right offer to convince the seller to say "yes." Keep in mind, there's more to it than the offer price!
Even if your price is competitive, you should still use other strategies to make you and your entire offer much more desirable to the seller.
Whether you'll be dealing with competition from other buyers or a cautious seller with a new listing, getting your offer accepted requires a "pre-game" plan and smart strategy.
Most sellers are going to choose the best offer first and start negotiating with that buyer. You want that to be YOU!
Here are our tips to help you seal the deal to make your "home sweet home" dream come true.
Set Your Parameters
You first must set your own parameters of what you're not willing to do to get a home. Be firm since you don't want to make an offer too sweet even for you.
That means don't forget about your deal breakers and what your price ceiling is (the absolutely maximum amount you'd be willing to offer). You don't want to get dragged into something you'll regret with your "monthly" mortgage way over budget.
Keep It Simple
The less stipulations and concessions you ask for the better! You don't want an annoyed seller who could move on to the next offer. This is especially true if they want to move forward quickly on the sale.
- Limit the number of contingencies in your contract when possible. If you're a first-time buyer, you don't have to worry about selling another home. However, current homeowners may need a home sale contingency in order to purchase the new one. If so, look for other concessions that may sway the seller, such as paying for closing costs.
- One way to minimize the number of contingencies is to do a "pre-inspection" of the property. That way you can waive the home inspection contingency without the risk. You'll know what you have to fix and can either decide to pass on the house or move forward with an offer that takes into consideration what the house may need down the road.
- Don't expect too much or ask for too much when it comes to inclusions (curtains, light fixtures, etc.) that you hope stay with the home. You don't want your sale to fall through over one.
Be Flexible
Buying a home requires negotiation and some back and forth between both parties. Be flexible and willing to work with the seller.
- Be open to setting the closing date to the seller's timeframe, whether it's sooner or later. Are they relocating for a new job and need to move quickly? Have they already bought their next home? Or are they an older seller needing more time to transition to a smaller home?
- Accommodate their stipulations if possible. For example, do they need to rent back from you for a month until they can move out?
Prove You're Ready to Buy
The seller needs to know that you are serious and capable financially to buy this home from the get-go. They want this sale to go through and don't want any surprises about your finances or credit.
- Remember to get preapproved for your mortgage and make sure to include your pre-approval letter from your lender. This means providing all documentation such as pay stubs and tax returns early so you can move forward quickly with an offer.
- Put up a reasonable amount for your earnest money deposit, such as 2% to 5% of the purchase price with your offer.
- Include an Escalation Clause, which will increase your proposed offer up to a certain amount should another buyer submit a bid higher than yours. This can help keep you in the game and in the negotiation process.
Get Personal
Many sellers are sentimental about their home and may select buyers for more personal reasons than just price.
- Write your own "love" letter about the home and why you and your family will be the right owners to care for it.
- Have your agent pass along information about you that will show the seller that their home is the perfect fit for you and your family. Are you first-time buyers like they may have been, having your first child, returning "home" to the neighborhood, etc.?
Never Be Critical or Nit-Picky
Never have your offer be critical of the home. Even if a home is in disrepair and needs a total renovation, focus on its attributes during any communication with the seller via a personal letter or through your agent.
Also, don't get too nit-picky when it comes to the inspection report. No house is perfect so concentrate on the major systems – such as HVAC, roof, foundation — which can be costly to repair. Don't become obsessed with minor "faults" in the home and ask for unnecessary repairs,
Be Adaptable
No one offer or listing is alike. You'll need to adjust your offer strategy to that home's specific situation (but don't forget your parameters!). Work with your agent to determine what adjustments are best for that home, its neighborhood and the current market dynamic (buyer's or seller's market).
- For a recently listed home with multiple offers, you may need to go higher in price and/or have fewer contingencies.
- For a home that's been sitting for a while, you have more leeway but should validate a lower price with comparables from recent sales in that neighborhood. Also provide valid reasons for any issues that may decrease the home's value.
Let us know if you have any questions when it comes to making an offer. We are here to help you!
