Mortgage loan

A mortgage loan, also referred to as a mortgage, is used by purchasers of real property to raise money to buy the property to be purchased or by existing property owners to raise funds for any purpose. The loan is "secured" on the borrower's property. This means that a legal mechanism is put in place which allows the lender to take possession and sell the secured property ("foreclosure" or "repossession") to pay off the loan in the event that the borrower defaults on the loan or otherwise fails to abide by its terms. The word mortgage is derived from a "law French" term used by English lawyers in the middle ages meaning "death pledge", and refers to the pledge ending (dying) when either the obligation is fulfilled or the property is taken through foreclosure.
Mortgage borrowers can be individuals mortgaging their home or they can be businesses mortgaging commercial property (for example, their own business premises, residential property let to tenants or an investment portfolio). The lender will typically be a financial institution, such as a bank, credit union or building society, depending on the country concerned, and the loan arrangements can be made either directly or indirectly through intermediaries. Features of mortgage loans such as the size of the loan, maturity of the loan, interest rate, method of paying off the loan, and other characteristics can vary considerably. The lender's rights over the secured property take priority over the borrower's other creditors which means that if the borrower becomes bankrupt or insolvent the other creditors will only be repaid the debts owed to them from a sale of the secured property if the mortgage lender is repaid in full first.

Electricity

Electricity is the set of physical phenomena associated with the presence and flow of electric charge. Electricity gives a wide variety of well-known effects, such as lightning, static electricity, electromagnetic induction and electrical current. In addition, electricity permits the creation and reception of electromagnetic radiation such as radio waves. In electricity, charges produce electromagnetic fields which act on other charges. Electricity occurs due to several types of physics: electric charge: a property of some subatomic particles, which determines their electromagnetic interactions. Electrically charged matter is influenced by, and produces, electromagnetic fields. electric field (see electrostatics): an especially simple type of electromagnetic field produced by an electric charge even when it is not moving (i.e., there is no electric current). The electric field produces a force on other charges in its vicinity. electric potential: the capacity of an electric field to do work on an electric charge, typically measured in volts. electric current: a movement or flow of electrically charged particles, typically measured in amperes. electromagnets: Moving charges produce a magnetic field. Electrical currents generate magnetic fields, and changing magnetic fields generate electrical currents.

Insurance

Insurance is the equitable transfer of the risk of a loss, from one entity to another in exchange for payment. It is a form of risk management primarily used to hedge against the risk of a contingent, uncertain loss. According to study texts of The Chartered Insurance Institute, there are the following categories of risk:[1] 1. Financial risks which means that the risk must have financial measurement. 2. Pure risks which means that the risk must be real and not related to gambling 3. Particular risks which means that these risks are not widespread in their effect, for example such as earthquake risk for the region prone to it. It is commonly accepted that only financial, pure and particular risks are insurable. An insurer, or insurance carrier, is a company selling the insurance; the insured, or policyholder, is the person or entity buying the insurance policy. The amount of money to be charged for a certain amount of insurance coverage is called the premium. Risk management, the practice of appraising and controlling risk, has evolved as a discrete field of study and practice.

Top 10 Best Airports in the World

For travelers weary of long lines at security checkpoints and overpriced fast food, the idea that any airport could be viewed as “best” may seem laughable. However, for travelers lucky enough to have flights that originate or end at any of the airports listed below, the word “best” is totally appropriate. These outstanding airports received the most votes from more than twelve million travelers who participated in a survey administered by Skytrax. Awards for the 2013 World’s Best Airport and nine runners-up were announced at passenger terminal EXPO in Geneva, Switzerland. The winning airports were located largely in Europe and Asia, with only one representative from North America and none from Australia, South America or Africa.  The United States was also notably absent from the list of winners.

1. Singapore Changi Airport, Singapore

Singapore Changi Airport claimed top prize for the fourth time since the Skytrax awards were initiated, having last won the title in 2010. In addition to winning the top overall award, Singapore Changi Airport, which served more than fifty million passengers in 2012, was named Best Airport in Asia and Best Airport for Leisure Amenities.

Millions of Android Devices Vulnerable to Heartbleed Bug

Millions of smartphones and tablets running Google Inc. (GOOG)’s Android operating system have the Heartbleed software bug, in a sign of how broadly the flaw extends beyond the Internet and into consumer devices. While Google said in a blog post on April 9 that all versions of Android are immune to the flaw, it added that the “limited exception” was one version dubbed 4.1.1, which was released in 2012. Security researchers said that version of Android is still used in millions of smartphones and tablets, including popular models made by Samsung Electronics Co., HTC Corp. and other manufacturers. Google statistics show that 34 percent of Android devices use variations of the 4.1 software. The company said less than 10 percent of active devices are vulnerable. More than 900 million Android devices have been activated worldwide. The Heartbleed vulnerability was made public earlier this week and can expose people to hacking of their passwords and other sensitive information.

A VC’s Take on Small-Cap Market Reform

ndreessen Horowitz, one of Silicon Valley’s most visible venture-capital firms, is taking a stance on small-cap market reform. Scott Kupor, a managing partner at the Menlo Park, California-based firm, is publicly declaring his support for the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s plan to widen the increments at which shares of small-cap companies — those with a market capitalization below $750 million — can trade.(Information Technology) The changes, if enacted, would increase the liquidity and value of the stocks by attracting institutional investors, who tend to trade in larger volumes, Kupor said. They would also benefit the economy because small companies could go public earlier and create more jobs, he said.(Information Technology) “Companies that go public tend to hire three times as many people as companies which stay private,” Kupor said. Startups that go public earlier will also spread more of their returns to retail investors, instead of venture-capital firms and others that ride most of a privately held company’s early growth, he said.(Information Technology) Those who oppose the reforms, such as some large retail brokers, are afraid to draw the SEC’s attention to their controversial trading practices, said Kupor, who co-chairs the Equity Capital Formation Task Force, a group that is working to remove barriers for small companies to raise public-market financing. Others fear reforms would make trading in small-cap stocks more expensive for retail investors, he said.(Information Technology) Kupor, who said Andreessen Horowitz isn’t trying to drive its own interests by weighing into the debate, added that the benefits of the reforms would more than offset objections raised by the plan’s opponents. The venture capitalist has penned a blog post to lay out his arguments, which follows below. Bloomberg LP, the parent of Bloomberg News, is an investor in Andreessen Horowitz.(Information Technology) By Opposing Small Cap Market Reform, Wall Street’s Largest Retail Brokers are Putting Their Economics Ahead of Customers’ Best Interests According to SEC Chairwoman Mary Joe White, implementing a pilot program to widen tick sizes for small-cap stocks (sub-$750 million market cap) is a “near-term project” for the SEC. In other words, it might actually happen, and that has some of the biggest players on Wall Street in a panic.(Information Technology) Widening tick sizes and restricting the increments at which small-cap stocks can trade – a change for which I and others have been advocating – would bring more liquidity to the small-cap marketplace.(Information Technology) To retail investors – who comprise about 80 percent of the small stocks – this would bring institutional investors back into small-cap stocks, helping both increase stock prices, reduce volatility and provide much needed expansion capital.

No Longer a Reader? Tribune Wants You to Listen to the News

Tinder Narrows Down Its Options for How to Make Money

Tinder, which has been connecting love-seeking, smartphone-swiping millennials for more than a year, has narrowed its money-making plans to three possible matches. Barry Diller, chairman of Tinder-backer IAC/InterActiveCorp, said the dating app is considering three approaches: subscription, advertising or “freemium,” where basic access is free and additional services cost extra. (Information Technology) “We have got lots of little areas marked for revenue,” Diller said in an interview at Bloomberg’s headquarters in New York. “You bleed into them over time.”(Information Technology) Tinder is a match-making app built around one simple question: Do I like what I see? Users sign in with their Facebook accounts to upload names, ages, photos and sexual orientations.

Finding a suitably suave address – a place at once impeccably classy yet effortlessly discreet – was the mission for the Mexican entrepreneurs who last month opened a dealership for Aston Martin, maker of the spy’s favourite cars. Its sheer size means Mexico City has no shortage of property options, but finding the right place to showcase half a dozen luxury British sportscars was tricky. Though many multinationals plump for the gleamingly modern Santa Fe, a sea of skyscrapers on the western fringes of the city, the area is bedevilled by nightmarish traffic and is more a work destination than a chic place to see and be seen. Meanwhile, some banks, lawyers and the like see the city centre as de rigeur: they prefer the elegant towers along the Paseo de la Reforma boulevard, such as the Torre Diana, which, when it is finished in 2015, will be the capital’s tallest building.

The street is one big shop window for global luxury brands in a district that is a social and business destination for the wealthy customers most likely to splurge on a handmade car they can not only customise at will but, as Martin Josephi, the dealer principal, says, can even carry their wife and children to church. The neighbourhood had the cachet Aston Martin was seeking, but finding the right spot in an area where prices are rocketing and space is shrinking proved a considerable challenge. Here the principals involved in the move – and the building itself – give their thoughts about how it went.

Atop the Electronics World, Samsung Now Chasing Innovation

When 10 of Samsung Electronics' top executives met in Shanghai last December, they weren't there to celebrate the company's dominance in the gadget world. They convened to map out how the South Korean tech giant can survive the onslaught from a multiplying number of low-cost competitors — many of which are located just outside the meeting room's walls in China.  "Where they are today is great,” says Jenny Lee, a managing partner at technology investment firm GGV Capital in Shanghai, who dined with Samsung's management while they were in town. "But they are paranoid.” Paranoid because Samsung may have outgrown the formula that led it to the top of the consumer electronics business. The company owes much of its success to its mastery of what's known in the tech industry as "fast following." By owning each piece of hardware development from start to finish and then ruthlessly designing scores of products that cater to whatever is hip among users, Samsung has been able to catch up to and even surpass the companies it was chasing. Now that it's ahead of the pack in many parts of the industry, Samsung is trying to shed its copycat image and chart a path toward innovation. Last year, as rumors began to bubble up that Apple was working on a smartwatch, Samsung already had one ready to go. The Galaxy Gear wasn't a commercial success, but the move indicated that the Asian company would no longer wait for others to prove a market. Successful Transformers Although rare, there are examples of fast followers that have transformed into innovators.

Lyft Becomes Alibaba's Latest Bet on Silicon Valley

What It's Like to Build a Tech Startup in One of the Oldest Cities on Earth

Like most Israeli tech entrepreneurs, Lia Kislev lives in Tel Aviv. But her online styling company isn’t based in the country’s startup capital alongside the nation's fledgling fashion industry. Instead, she and her co-founder commute every day to Jerusalem. Kislev's startup WiShi sits in a whitewashed building about a kilometer from the ancient stone walls of Jerusalem's Old City, a popular tourist attraction that houses sites holy to all three monotheistic religions. The tech complex in the holy city was built by Erel Margalit,
 
 the founder of Jerusalem Venture Partners, who is now a lawmaker for the Labor party.
