companies will only verify dates of employment and a temp agency should do the same So a reference may be done by anyone that can confirm your dates of employment Every company can be a little different but this is generally what is done Some of the small companies will give an actual reference I do not see a problem if the temp agency only gives dates of employment to your prospective employer as that is what most companies do these days You could call the prospective company and ask them if they were able to reach Mr X for a reference You could also call Mr X and see if he has gotten a call from your prospective companythat way you would know I dont know if your prospective company will answer your question if you called them but you could certainly try You could call them on the basis of you are just checking to see if they getting all the information they need on your background and then ask if they were able to reach Mr X and explain your relationship with him as the person that did your booking of loads and he could state how reliable you were and how good you were to work with Pumpkin Oval Head Jan 4 2014 3 Jan 4 2014 4 silverdrifter Heavy Load Member 740 115

Demise How long before the territory is fully assimilated into the authoritarian mainland By Jeremiah Jacques October 30 2018 C hina unveiled on October 23 the worlds longest seacrossing bridge ever built It spans more than 34 miles and connects mainland China to the two special administrative regions of Hong Kong and Macau At the opening ceremony in the port city of Zhuhai in Guangdong province President Xi Jinping declared the 20 billion bridge officially open Chinas official Xinhua news agency quoted him describing it as a bridge of connected hearts and fulfilled dreams Containing more than 400000 tons of steelenough to build 60 Eiffel Towersthe Hong KongZhuhaiMacau Bridge is presented as a showpiece of Chinese might and innovation The structure took a decade to build and is designed to withstand typhoons and earthquakes It places the three cities less than an hours drive from one another A fourmile section of the bridge also dips into an undersea tunnel allowing vessels to pass through the bustling shipping lanes above And since Hong Kong drivers follow the British tradition of driving on the left side of the road while those on the mainland drive on But the bridges purpose goes beyond just showcasing Chinas impressive engineering capacity It is also an undeniable symbol of Beijings increasingly ambitious geopolitical goals It stands as a physical manifestation of Chinas resolve to tighten control over Hong Kong the South China Sea and beyond One Country Two Systems When Great Britain handed Hong Kong over to China 21 years ago most of the citys 64 million people were uneasy about the transition They had been separated from the mainland by 156 years of ideological and institutional differences and most were descendants of families who had fled the rule of the Communists to live under British rule in Hong Kong as refugees With the handover they were understandably worried about being swallowed up by the authoritarian government of the mainland But Beijing promised that Hong Kong would retain its distinct identity under a rubric called one country two systems This model stipulated that even though Hong Kong was again part of China for at least 50 years Beijing would allow Hong Kong to maintain its economic polices and Hong Kong could enjoy what its miniconstitution the Basic Law called a high degree of autonomy In the early years the two systems model was abided by Soldiers from the Peoples Liberation Army maintained a low profile in Hong Kong Law enforcement agencies from the mainland had no jurisdiction in the territory And mainland officials refrained from giving public speeches there But in 2003 after half a million Hong Kongese assembled to protest against a security law that the local government was pushing the authorities in Beijing took action The Chinese government began a campaign calling for patriotism among Hong Kongese and said the territory must be governed by leaders who love the country and the city Another bombshell came in mid2014 when the Chinese State Council published a white paper clarifying one country two systems It said that the Chinese government in Beijing has comprehensive jurisdiction over Hong Kong and that the territory was allowed only whatever authority to run its affairs that were sanctioned by Beijing The Chinese government also imposed electoral reforms For the 2017 election for Hong Kongs top civil position the people could vote only for candidates who had been preapproved by the Chinese government Tens of thousands of Hong Kongese marched in the streets demanding an unrestricted choice of candidates The protests clogged the city streets for weeks with brawls erupting several times between demonstrators and police Some onlookers thought the protests would spread into the rest of China and possibly threaten the Chinese Communist Party ccp But as the weeks went by the number of protesters fell It was soon obvious that protests or not Beijing would not budge and the Communist Party was the only real authority in Hong Kong This sobering truth became more evident the next year when several staff members of Hong Kongs Causeway Bay Books vanished abducted by Chinese agents for publishing humiliating books about the private lives of ccp authorities In 2016 the ccp prevented the seating of two politicians who had modified their swearingin oath in protest against mainland rule Then last year Chinese security agents rushed into a Hong Kong hotel and abducted one of Chinas most powerful billionaires whose whereabouts are still unknown Just last month Hong Kongs security bureau caved in to pressure from Beijing by banning a small proindependence political party Meanwhile the Chinese military presence in Hong Kong is gradually becoming more visible and active These developments affirm fears that Hong Kong is quickly losing the autonomy that China promised it They show that the cherished freedoms that distinguished Hong Kong from the rest of China are disintegrating With the new bridge now providing China one more powerful way to assert control over Hong Kong many analysts wonder how long it will be before the territory is fully assimilated into the authoritarian mainland An Invaluable SeaGate Lost Chinas intensifying drive to control Hong Kong is partly due to the islands strategic location at the confluence of the Pacific Ocean and the South China Sea This means Hong Kong functions as one of the seagates allowing access to the South China Sea In the July 2016 Trumpet editor in chief Gerald Flurry highlighted the way Chinas tightening hold on the territory has aided its efforts to rule the South China Sea He wrote Britain actually gave the South China Sea prize of Hong Kong to the Peoples Republic of China in 1997 Now that US military presence in the area has been drastically reduced China is claiming the entire South China Sea as its own Whoever controls these vital seagates controls one third of the worlds maritime commerce China Is Steering the World Toward War Mr Flurry explained that this development is of great significance in terms of Bible prophecy Genesis 22 records some astonishing promises made to the patriarch Abraham One of them says that his descendants mainly the peoples of Britain and the United States would come to possess the gate of his enemies verse 17 The context and companion passages of this scripture make clear that this is about seagates such as Hong Kong which allowed Britain to control the seas for so long Bible prophecy also forecast that the British would later lose control of the seagates they had possessed And he shall besiege thee in all thy gates until thy high and fenced walls come down wherein thou trustedst throughout all thy land and he shall besiege thee in all thy gates throughout all thy land which the Lord thy God hath given thee Deuteronomy 2852 Mr Flurry explained that these prophecies are for the present day This warning is not just for an ancient nation he wrote It is a prophecy for the modernday descendants of Israel Two nations in particular represent Israel in this end time America and Britain Dont believe meyou need to prove this truth for yourself We will be happy to send you a free copy of Herbert W Armstrongs book The United States and Britain in Prophecy which contains abundant proof Britains handover of Hong Kong was tragic for the British and also for the Hong Kongese This is becoming clearer with each of Beijings authoritarian pushes and each move toward further integrating the territory into the mainlandsuch as the new Hong KongZhuhaiMacau Bridge To know what to expect from the increasing power and ambition of Xi Jinpings China please read Mr Flurrys article China Is Steering the World Toward War Email

How to Get a Mortgage with a Low Credit Score July 27 2011 Mortgage QA How to get a mortgage with a low credit score If youve got a low credit score but are determined to buy a home or are looking to refinance your existing mortgage you may be wondering how to get a mortgage Or if its even possible First things first though how low is your credit score Are we talking a 660 credit score or a 500 credit score Everyone seems to have a different definition of low so lets start there Mortgage lenders rely on FICO scores to make credit decisions The FICO score range dips as low as 300 and rises as high as 850 The average credit score is somewhere around the high 600s to low 700s at any given time I say somewhere because there are always different numbers being cited by different sources and the data is often outdated Its also a moving target that doesnt stay constant but average scores dont stray too far from the high600 to low700 range Home Loans for Bad Credit But to get back to my point you need to assess how low your credit score is to determine your chances of getting approved for a mortgage In short if your score is closer to the bottom of that aforementioned range your chances of landing a mortgage will become slimmer and slimmer even for socalled bad credit home loans Conversely if your score is simply imperfect and youre a perfectionist you might not have anything to worry about Other than lacking perfection Regardless there are plenty of home loan options for those of us with imperfect credit or dare I say bad credit In fact you technically only need a 500 credit score to get an FHA loan which is actually a popular choice among homeowners these days for its equally low 35 down payment requirement You dont even have to be a firsttime home buyer And lets get one thing straight a 500 credit score is pretty abysmal Its bad credit no ifs ands or buts Im not here to judge but Im going to give it to you straight You dont just wind up with a 500 credit score after racking up some credit card debt or because you have student loans It doesnt happen by accident So if your credit score is at or below 500 youve certainly made some serious financial missteps And you may question why any mortgage lender in their right mind would offer you a home loan Sure theyre willing to accept some risk but within reason Anyway if you thought 500 was low consider the fact that the VA home loans for veterans doesnt even have a minimum credit score requirement so a VA loan lender could potentially go even lower Of course if they want to remain in good standing and continue to offer VA loans they probably wont Its basically lender discretion and default rates will drive the minimum credit scores they actually deem acceptable for borrowers That being said while mortgage underwriting guidelines may say one thing banks and lenders could well say something completely different This is why borrowers with poor credit are often disappointed once they speak with a lender You might technically fit the guidelines but once a lender overlay is applied you often cant get financing Is Your Credit Score Lower Than 620 Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac require 620 credit scores The FHA will go as low as 500 but you need a 580 score for 35 down Most lenders want a minimum credit score of 620 for VA loans Most banks require a 620640 score for Jumbo loans may require scores of 680 or higher One of the most important threedigit numbers in the mortgage world is 620 Why Well anything below a 620 credit score is considered subprime by most banks and home loan lenders not to mention the everimportant Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac Thats right the minimum credit score to get approved for a mortgage loan by that important pair is 620 Anything lower and youll need to go back to the drawing board or at least look for a loan backed by another entity For the record Fannie and Freddie back the lions share of mortgages so a credit score lower than 620 already eliminates you from something like 70 of the mortgage market Long story short you should aim to have credit scores of at least 620 or higher to ensure all loan options are on the table If not there are still government loans available including FHA VA and USDA loans Speaking of the USDA their loan program also features no minimum credit score requirement but like VA loans individual lenders will typically require reasonably high credit scores such as 640 or better FHA Accepts 500 Scores with a Catch As mentioned the FHA accepts scores as low as 500 but keep in mind that if your credit score is below 580 youll need to bring in at least a 10 down payment You wont be able to take advantage of their flagship 35 down loan program which requires a 580 credit score And lets face it most home buyers are going with the FHA for their lowdown payment requirement Im not certain but I doubt very many borrowers are putting 10 down on a house via the FHA Theyre not so much loans for bad credit as they are loans for home buyers with little set aside for down payment Additionally most mortgage lenders require even higher credit scores for FHA loans based on their own risk appetite So a 500 credit score might not actually cut it in the real world even if the guidelines permit it You may find that most FHA lenders want minimum credit scores of 600 or even 640 so finding a lender actually willing to lend to someone with bad credit can be trickier than it appears Recently a lender by the name of Carrington Mortgage Services began accepting FICO scores as low as 550 for FHA USDA and VA loans though the associated pricing hit is pretty sizable And theyre one of the only games in town In other words youll pay through the nose for the chance to get a mortgage and you wont have much if any negotiating power if theyre the only bank willing to lend to you Meanwhile credit scores of 660 and up are typically required for all other conventional mortgage loans those not backed by a government agency For jumbo mortgages you might be looking at a minimum score of 680 or even 700 with a large down payment also a requirement Or a max LTV ratio of 80 meaning youll need a 20 down payment to buy real estate or refinance an existing mortgage How to Buy a House with Bad Credit As noted there are plenty of options to obtain a home loan if you have bad credit assuming your credit is truly just bad and not terrible Again this definition can vary but aiming for FICO scores of least 620 is a good start If you cant muster that and need to buy a home today it might still be possible to get the job done You may just have to pay a bit more for it via higherthannormal pricing adjustments that could drive your mortgage rate a lot higher For example if you are able to get an FHA loan or a VA loan with bad credit your interest rate might be 6 instead of 45 While its not the end of the world it will equate to higher monthly mortgage payments Aside from not wanting to shell out more for your mortgage each month it could potentially complicate qualifying For example a higher mortgage payment will lead to a higher debttoincome ratio DTI and that could knock you out of contention Additionally those with low credit scores may only be approved for a mortgage with compensating factors such as a large amount of assets andor a higher down payment So if you have bad credit and youre lacking assets your chances of approval might be quite low Conversely if you have poor credit but plenty of money in the bank and a solid employment history you might be able to squeak through If youve got bad credit it might be prudent to enlist a mortgage broker one who can shop your more difficult loan scenario around with multiple banks and lenders to secure financing Aside from hopefully finding a home for your loan they might be able to negotiate lower loan rates and map out a plan for a future refinance once you clean things up You can visit your local bank as well but chances of getting approved for a mortgage with a low credit score are probably pretty slim Most of the big banks are pretty vanilla meaning they only accept borrowers with credit scores of 620 and up And having to call bank after bank can be time consuming and frustrating to say the least Note Let me just point out that if for the odd reason youre extremely rich you could just buy your home with cash and avoid the mortgage route entirely In this case it wouldnt matter if you had bad credit or any credit whatsoever When youre paying cash for real estate credit scores dont factor in Unfortunately this will be a sliver of the population Refinance Your Bad Credit Mortgage The good news is you can always refinance your bad credit mortgage in the future if and when your credit improves Lets say you take out that highrate 6 government home loan then work on your credit and your scores rise from 600 to 680 All of a sudden youll have many more loan options and plenty of lenders will actually be interested in working with you Even if you existing mortgage isnt very attractive it doesnt have to be permanent if you make strides in the credit score department The presence of a mortgage that is paid on time can also help your credit scores so simply paying it for a year or so could push your scores higher If you make a conscious effort to improve your credit otherwise you wont be stuck with the mortgage for very long Try to remember that as you go through the process you might have found your forever home but not your forever home loan and thats okay especially if you dont want to miss out Buying a house with bad credit could just be a means to an end once you turn things around And most folks dont hold their mortgages longer than a decade anyway How to get the best mortgage rate Do you want a mortgage if your credit score is low Aside from those who absolutely need to buy a homerefinance their mortgage and those with no other place to turn are you sure you want to apply for a mortgage if your credit score is in bad shape Even if you do manage to get approved your mortgage rate will probably be much higher as a result and youll likely need to come in with a large down payment to offset the credit risk you present to lenders You may be better off having someone else with good or excellent credit take out the loan instead such as a spouse or parent Or it may be in your best interest literally to wait until your credit score has improved before applying for a mortgage I understand that you may not always have that luxury if theres a house you just must have but its something to consider if youre more wishywashy In any case it is recommended that you check your credit scores and corresponding credit reports long before applying for a mortgage to ensure you can actually qualify Doing so in advance will also give you time to fix any mistakes that may show up on your credit report as changes can take a lot of time Keep in mind that while credit scoring is very important to successfully obtaining a mortgage if not the most important factor it is just one of the many underwriting criteria mortgage lenders consider Things like income assets and employment history can also make or break you regardless of whether you have perfect credit or not No matter your scores always take the time to compare mortgage lenders to ensure you dont miss out on a better deal or worse miss out

in ceiling reason to be concerned I guess I have watched too many of those Mike Holmes Episodes myself If I had a crack running the whole length of the house I would want it investigated my either a structural engineer or at least an experienced framing carpenter Unfortunately short of breaking into the ceiling to see how the joists are configured I am not sure if the problem can be determined Mike Holmes frequently tears into the structure to determine what is going on a luxury the casual home inspector does not have It is unbelievable what stupid things remodelers will do I remember working in a Victorian house where a great room had been created A sag was evident in the middle of the room Upon investigating it became obvious a rear hallway with baring walls had been removed The remodeler had sistered in splices across the gap I told the owner who was a friend that it was fortunate he had not put a water bed in his overhead bedroom Had he done so it would certainly have ended

crack is running I had a similar crack that I repaired three times and it just came back I found that there was a headder with joist attached to it with hangers Only the joists were just in the hangers but not attached I moved the insulation out of the way attached all the joists with screws then removed the drywall beyond all my previous repairs and replaced it The crack has not returned

Humanities Languages Apocopation and the Clipping of Words in Spanish 13 Words That Get Shortened in Special Instances Francesco Riccardo Iacomino Getty Images by Gerald Erichsen Updated September 27 2017 In Spanish there are just over a dozen words that are shortened in certain sentence formations The linguistic term is apocope or apocopation which is defined as the loss of one or more sounds from the end of a word and especially the loss of an unstressed vowel Does Apocopation Occur in English In English apocopation is also called final clipping which means the shortening of the end of a word while the word retains its full meaning Examples of this include auto clipped from automobile or gym shortened from gymnasium Do We Need to Clip Words in Spanish While in English it does not matter if you shorten the word or not in Spanish the apocopation of several words is required as a grammatical rule The good news is the list is short There are only 13 words that need memorizing The Rule With Singular Masculine Nouns The most common of these by far is uno the number one which is usually translated as a or an It is shortened to un when it comes before a singular masculine noun un muchacho a boy but it does retain the final vowel sound when in the feminine form una muchacha a girl What follows are other adjectives that are shortened when they precede a singular masculine noun All but the last one postrero are very common WordMeaning Example Translation alguno some algún lugar some place bueno good el buen samaritano the good Samaritan malo bad este mal hombre this bad man ninguno no not one ningún perro no dog uno one un muchacho a boy primero first primer encuentro first encounter tercero third Tercer Mundo Third World postrero last mi postrer adiós my last goodbye For all the adjectives listed above the usual form is retained when the words are followed by a feminine or plural noun for example algunos libros which means some books and tercera mujer which means third woman Five Other Common Words That Get Shortened There are five other common words that undergo apocopation grande meaning great cualquiera meaning whatever ciento meaning one hundred Santo meaning Saint and tanto meaning so much Grande The singular grande is shortened to gran before a noun in both the masculine and feminine In that position it usually means great For an example look at un gran momento which means a great moment and la gran explosión which means the great explosion There is a case when grande is not apocopated and that is when it follows más For reference look at the following examples el más grande escape meaning the greatest escape or el más grande americano meaning the greatest American Cualquiera When used as an adjective cualquiera meaning any in the sense of whatever drops the a before a noun Take at look at the following examples cualquier navegador meaning any browser or cualquier nivel meaning whatever level Ciento The word for one hundred is shortened before a noun or when used as part of a number that it multiplies for example cien dólares which means 100 dollars and cien millones which means 100 million The exception is that ciento is not shortened within a number for example the number 112 would be spelled out and pronounced as ciento doce Santo The title for a saint is shortened before the names of most males such as San Diego or San Francisco and the long form Santo is retained if the following name begins with Do or To for example Santo Domingo or Santo Tomás Tanto The adjective tanto meaning so much gets shortened to tan when it is used as an adverb in a sentence When it becomes an adverb its translation becomes so For example Tengo tanto dinero que no sé qué hacer con él which translates to I have so much money I dont know what to do with it An example of tanto being shortened and used as an adverb can be found in the following sentences Rita es tan alta como María meaning Rita is as tall as María or Rita habla tan rápido como María meaning Rita talks as fast as María

Science Tech Math Math The Significance of Negative Slope Negative Slope Negative Correlation duncan1890 Getty Images by Jennifer Ledwith Updated September 29 2018 In mathematics the slope of a line m describes how rapidly or slowly change is occurring and in which direction whether positive or negative Linear functionsthose whose graph is a straight linehave four possible types of slope positive negative zero and undefined A function with a positive slope is represented by a line that goes up from left to right while a function with a negative slope is represented by a line that goes down from left to right A function with zero slope is represented by a horizontal line and a function with an undefined slope is represented by a vertical line Slope is usually expressed as an absolute value A positive value indicates a positive slope while a negative value indicates a negative slope In the function y 3 x for example the slope is positive 3 the coefficient of x In statistics a graph with a negative slope represents a negative correlation between two variables This means that as one variable increases the other decreasesand vice versa Negative correlation represents a significant relationship between the variables x and y which depending on what they are modeling can be understood as input and output or cause and effect How to Find Slope Negative slope is calculated just like any other type of slope You can find it by dividing the rise of two points the difference along the vertical or yaxis by the run the difference along the xaxis Just remember that the rise is really a fall so the resulting number will be negative m y2 y1 x2 x1 Once the line is graphed youll see that the slope is negative because the line will go down from left to right Even without drawing a graph you will be able to see that the slope is negative simply by calculating m using the values given for the two points For example the slope of a line that contains the two points 21 and 11 is m 1 1 1 2 m 1 1 1 m 2 1 m 2 A slope of 2 means that for every positive change in x there will be twice as much negative change in y Negative Slope Negative Correlation A negative slope demonstrates a negative correlation between the following variables x and y input and output independent variable and dependent variable cause and effect Negative correlation occurs when the two variables of a function move in opposite directions As the value of x increases the value of y decreases Likewise as the value of x decreases the value of y increases Negative correlation then indicates a clear relationship between the variables meaning one affects the other in a meaningful way In a scientific experiment a negative correlation would show that an increase in the independent variable the one manipulated by the researcher would cause a decrease in the dependent variable the one measured by the researcher For example a scientist might find that as predators are introduced into an environment the number of prey gets smaller In other words there is a negative correlation between number of predators and number of prey RealWorld Examples A simple example of negative slope in the real world is going down a hill The further you travel the further down you drop This can be represented as a mathematical function where x equals distance traveled and y equals elevation Other examples of negative slope demonstrate the relationship between two variables Mr Nguyen drinks caffeinated coffee two hours before his bedtime The more cups of coffee he drinks input the fewer hours he will sleep output Aisha is purchasing a plane ticket The fewer days between the purchase date and the departure date input the more money Aisha will have to spend on airfare output John is spending some of the money from his last paycheck on presents for his children The more money John spends input the less money John will have in his bank account output Mike has an exam at the end of the week Unfortunately he would rather spend his time watching sports on TV than studying for the test The more time Mike spends watching TV input the lower Mikes score will be on the exam output In contrast the relationship between time spent studying and exam score would be represented by a positive correlation since an increase in studying would lead to a higher score
