Like flying over: the view of the city and harbors from the 102nd floor of Hong Kong's tallest building is unparalleled. Just like the lunch that Stef Blok is served here. It is late 2016 when the minister – then Minister of Housing – raises a glass at cloud level in the luxurious Ritz Carlton Hotel with the envoys of a controversial Chinese billionaire family. Goal: boost the Dutch mortgage market with Chinese capital. The Dutch are not like Americans, is the minister's message. They always repay their debts. 'Even in the darkest crisis years, the Dutch continued to pay their mortgages and waited patiently for better times', Blok says in speeches during his trip.
Bond ETFs and thus exchange-traded index funds on high-yield bonds are attracting increasing interest from investors. However, according to Marc Leemans of Degroof Petercam AM, investors do better with high-yield bonds in the active space than with passive high-yield ETFs.
Your credit score is the gateway to your creditworthiness and how cheap you can get credit, and so you want it as high as possible. If you boast a credit score of 750 or more, you will pay the lowest interest rate offered on most loans and credit cards. But if your credit score is 650 or lower, you'll be hit with a lot of fees and higher interest charges if you get approved for credit at all. Because most Americans don't have a huge sum of money to pay for a house, buy a new car or even send their child to college, getting your credit score is the best way to avoid overpaying when borrowing. Far too often, people make mistakes that can hurt their credit score for as long as seven years. From missing payments to foreclosure in your home, here's a look at five bad moves that will torpedo your credit score.
I don't know what it is: Because I speak too fast to fit in as many words per minute as possible? Or does it just happen that way? Because sometimes, in the midst of a flood of words, the wrong word escapes my lips. In itself no problem – but unfortunately some confusions have it in itself and the fate takes then its course. The first time I noticed it was during a chat with my neighbor Mr. Brock, an old German teacher. I told him that I would like to buy a drone, but that it would probably tear too big a hole in my bidet. But one should not always pay attention only to the disdainful mammoth. Because he, as a conifer in his field, would also spend a lot of money on his textbooks. As a good teacher, he corrected me immediately, of course, and said with a pitying look that three mistakes in two sentences mean an even six and that, by the way, it means budget, mammon and luminary. Embarrassed, I said to him that I didn't know how to get out of the atmosphere. The second time a misnomer fell on my feet was when I wanted to distinguish myself with a relief campaign for neglected children and asked the well-connected Mrs. Huschke to organize a charitable collection in my name. And lo and behold – many beautiful cartoons about neglected children and overtaxed parents came together as well. Since the auction of these pictures brought a whole lump of money, I came on detours nevertheless still to the goal of my small donation action. By the way, it is called malapropism, if one unintentionally uses a similar sounding, but from the intention wrong word. Since this kept happening to me, I decided to be as autistic as possible in the future and make fun of deliberately using the words incorrectly. I noticed that most of my interlocutors also had difficulties with foreign words. Because hardly anyone seemed to notice my deliberate distortions. Trudchen from across the street could only confirm that I am technically served. Mr. Blum agreed with me that most topics are highly sterilized by the press. In addition, he noted that I sometimes react too implosively to such questions – I swear, that was not meant ironically. Mrs. Mockers decided to go to church on Saturday, when I told her how a Hormonium concert had awakened my maternal feelings there the other day. I was flabbergasted when Mrs. Zunk said that people who use foreign words incorrectly were stupid – at least that was her mortgage. I have never believed that I am all alone – but that there are so many of us would not have occurred to me either! Well – if you can't handle foreign words, you'll just have to live with the frequencies. To relax I'm going to get a latte machojato and flambe a bit in the Fennpfuhlpark. Thereby I can consider if becoming a success couch is an option for me.
The freedom-loving people, for whom the noisy vacation centers are anathema, but who do not want to give up the home comforts even when they are far away, are becoming more and more. For them, Bulgaria now also offers a solution – architect Christina Christowa has designed a vacation home on wheels. It's called "Koleliba" – a word creation from the Bulgarian words for wheels "Kolela" and for hut "Koliba".
I can't remember the last time I stayed up half the night to watch a live sporting event… For the women's Olympic triathlon of 26. July 2021 in Tokyo it was that time again. The documentary "Nicola Spirig – in 18 months from pregnancy to Olympic medal?The "The New Year", which was shown on Swiss television before the start, not only bridged the waiting time until shortly before midnight, but also increased interest in how this question would be answered.
