bSa / Projects & Standards / Information Exchange / COBie / The COBie Calculator
by E. William East, PhD, PE, F.ASCE, Engineering Research and Development Center, U.S. Army, Corps of Engineers
Within This Page
The Construction-Operations Building information exchange (COBie) standard defines a minimum set of information needed to capture electronic handover information. COBie, however, does not define the processes used to create such information. Some choose to manually capture COBie data by transcribing information from paper documents. Other project teams choose to capture asset information as data, as the project progresses, using COBie-centered project extranets.
Clearly, the costs and benefits of creating COBie data by manual transcription or through automated life-cycle processes differ significantly. Unfortunately, the costs of COBie process were not defined. As a result there was has been no method to measure the benefits of automating COBie exchanges — until now.
To make the COBie business case.
The business process models used to define the COBie NBIMS-US standard were updated to identify activities that add value to the project, such as the specification, selection, or installation of facility assets, and non-value added activities. Value-Added analysis is not new; however, it was only recently applied to the construction industry (1). A significant number of non-value added activities were identified in this process. Activities that add cost to the project, without helping to add value include activities required to: copy, handle, transmit, route, and check asset information.
Today, the cost of non-value added activities are buried in our budgets where they cannot be seen. Such costs have many names, depending on your specific point of view, a report by the Transportation Research Board identifies such costs as "soft costs"(2). A flexible spreadsheet was developed to shine a light on these non-value added activities. The calculator was demonstrated on the three standard buildingSMART alliance models (Duplex, Office, and Clinic) and also tested against a real project portfolio of a major municipal infrastructure owner.
The evaluation of each of the Life-Cycle information exchanges needed to efficiently flow facility asset information from planning through handover was conducted and documented in the Calculator COBie Report.
Three verification studies were conducted to predict the cost and benefits of using a COBie-based process compared with traditional paper-based delivery.
The calculator was also validated against data taken from a major municipal infrastructure owner. In addition to checking the accuracy of the findings of the calculator, this study also demonstrated the flexibility of the calculator to consider mixed paper- and electronic-distribution of documents.
The findings of this study, released in the Calculator COBie Report demonstrate that, regardless of project size, a targeted investment in business process change and software tools has the potential to virtually eliminate non-productive work that is, today, buried in project overheads. Such costs may, according to the results of this study, constitute over 90% of the costs of equipment specification, selection and validation.
The COBie Calculator is configurable to allow organizations to model their own project processes and cost variables, as well as projected cost reductions, to identify savings that could be achieved with COBie, and show specifically how to achieve these savings. The calculator may be used by project stakeholders to develop a business case for COBie. Furthermore, with the current costs and expected benefits of COBie implementation explicitly stated, those implementing COBie may evaluate their assumptions and improve results since there will be a yardstick against which to measure.

Seoul, Nov.26 (ANI): North Korea on Friday accused the United States of s bringing the Korean peninsula "to the brink of war" by agreeing to participate in a four-day joint war game with South Korea that starts this weekend.
The latest broadside from the regime of Kim Jong-il was issued as a US carrier battle group led by the nuclear-powered USS George Washington steamed towards the Yellow Sea in a show of deterrent force to Pyongyang, The Telegraph reports.
"The situation on the Korean peninsula is inching closer to the brink of war," warned a dispatch from the Korean Central News Agency said.
It added: "Gone are the days when verbal warnings are served only."
This morning, North Korean state television and radio blared out martial music interspersed with official statements about the shelling of South Korean's Yeonpyeong Island on Tuesday which left four people dead and destroyed houses and parts of a military base.
In a further show of US solidarity with Seoul, General Walter Sharp, the US military commander in South Korea, visited the shelled island, touring burned buildings and stating again that the attack was a violation of the ceasefire that ended the 1950-53 Korean War. (ANI)

Thanks for your question. I think your upper eyelids look fine based on these pictures. One thing I do see is you're starting to get some hollowing underneath your eyes. Filler like Restylane works great in this area to camouflage this hollowing. I've seen it last more than a year. Check out my photo gallery for an example of what's possible.

RANCHI: RJD president Lalu Prasad was taken to jail on Monday after being convicted by a special CBI court here in the fodder scam case.
65-year-old Lalu Prasad was taken to the Birsa Munda Central Jail here after the court verdict.
The court has fixed October 3 for pronouncement of sentence against Lalu Prasad, former Bihar chief minister Jagannath Mishra and others convicted in the case.
While coming out from the court, Lalu appeared calm and did not take any questions as his car sped away to the jail located at Hotwar on the outskirts of Ranchi, adjacent to the National Games village.
Besides Lalu, the court of Pravas Kumar Singh convicted another 44 accused, including Mishra, six politicians and four IAS officers, for fraudulent withdrawal of Rs 37.7 crore from Chaibasa treasury.
Later, the court sentenced IAS officer K Armugam, former Bihar AHD and labour minister Vidya Sagar Nishad and former MLA Dhruv Bhagat and five fodder suppliers for up to three years.
Earlier, Prasad, who arrived in the court by a white Ambassador car, appeared relaxed and waved to his party supporters. He sat in the second row in the court room as the judge began reading out the judgment against him.

Maroon 5 singer Adam Levine was not expecting this when he arrived on set for Jimmy Kimmel Live. As he was walking to the set a stranger arrived and threw a bag of powdered sugar at his face. Adam was covered in the white powder and the attacker was later arrested for battery. You didn't hear about it on the show because Adam cleaned up and decided not to mention it while he was on the air.

Over the longer term, Mr. Kearney worries about wage inflation undermining project economics as the company tries to lure workers to the remote border area of Labrador and northern Quebec.
Union leader Lana Payne says companies operating in Newfoundland and Labrador are going to have to improve pay scales and quality-of-life issues like scheduling, while devoting more resources to training.
"Is this a skills shortage or is it just a wage shortage? Or that working conditions need to change here in Newfoundland and Labrador?" asked Ms. Payne, president of the Newfoundland and Labrador Federation of Labour.
Will the work last?
She said Newfoundland's construction workers don't yet believe there will be a steady stream of work, and are unwilling to make major changes – or give up seniority at current work sites – in order to take short-lived jobs at home.
Her biggest fear is that employers like Vale and Rio Tinto's Iron Ore of Canada are looking to fast-track foreign people through a temporary worker visa program, which Ottawa has touted as one answer to the skills shortage being experienced across the country.
But employers argue they are sometimes left with little choice but to look abroad for skilled help, and that the province needs to attract immigrants as well as returning Newfoundlanders in order to address its demographic challenges.
Fred Cahill, president of St. John's-based GJ Cahill Group, a large construction company in Atlantic Canada with operations also in Alberta, said his firm has plenty of work, "but the biggest concern is how you get the work done."
He said the federal government – which manages the temporary foreign worker program – needs to continue to streamline policy to help alleviate skilled-worker shortages, while the province needs to attract more skilled immigrants.
GJ Cahill was among the companies that participated last month in a provincially-organized immigrant recruiting trip to Ireland, where crippling unemployment has followed the housing boom and bust. In addition to trades people, the province was looking for early-childhood educators, information technology workers and doctors.
Mr. Cahill called it a "prospecting" trip. "There are a lot of skills there out of work that we need," he said.
Ms. Burke, the skills minister, is sensitive to the foreign-worker issue, having lived in the province as it struggled with chronic unemployment.
"I'm only really comfortable with temporary workers from outside if I'm convinced that the people who live right here in Newfoundland and Labrador have had every opportunity to fill those positions."
Canada's booming energy and resource sector is confronting a chronic skills shortage that threatens to become acutely painful as the country's aging and urban work force is increasingly out of sync with industry's needs.
Economists say the shortage will get worse with an expected capital-investment boom by resource companies feeding growing demand in Asia, and by the power sector rebuilding an aging electricity infrastructure.
Over the next decade, the Canadian economy is forecast to require 319,000 additional workers to cover retirements and job growth, according to the Construction Council of Canada. But there will only be 163,000 new entrants, given Canada's current demographics, creating a shortage of 156,000.
The energy industry is particularly hard-pressed, said Eugene Lang, co-founder of Canada 2020, an Ottawa-based think tank. He warned that two major economic forces are on a "collision course" – unprecedented slowing of labour market growth and unparalleled investment in energy projects.
"A comprehensive federal-provincial labour market strategy is needed to ensure energy projects can proceed with minimal labour supply constraints," Mr. Lang said.

Some drugs may cause hormonal birth control to work less well by decreasing the amount of birth control hormones in your body. This effect can result in pregnancy. Examples include griseofulvin, modafinil, rifamycins (such as rifampin, rifabutin), St. John's wort, drugs used to treat seizures (such as barbiturates, carbamazepine, felbamate, phenytoin, primidone, topiramate), HIV drugs (such as nelfinavir, nevirapine, ritonavir), among others.
Tell your doctor when you start any new drug, and discuss if you should use additional reliable birth control. Also tell your doctor if you have any new spotting or breakthrough bleeding, because these may be signs that your birth control is not working well.
This medication may interfere with certain laboratory tests (including certain hormone levels, blood tests for clotting factors, thyroid/liver function tests), possibly causing false test results. Make sure laboratory personnel and all your doctors know you are using this medication.
OVERDOSE: If overdose is suspected, contact a poison control center or emergency room immediately. US residents can call their local poison control center at 1-800-222-1222. Canada residents can call a provincial poison control center.
NOTES: Do not share this medication with others.
Keep all regular medical and laboratory appointments. You should have regular complete physical exams including blood pressure, breast exam, pelvic exam, and screening for cervical cancer (Pap smear). Your doctor may test your bone density while you are using this medication. Be sure to get enough vitamin D and calcium in your diet. Ask your doctor or pharmacist about calcium/vitamin D supplements to help keep your bones healthy. Follow your doctor's instructions for examining your breasts, and report any lumps immediately. Consult your doctor for more details.
MISSED DOSE: For the best possible benefit, it is important to receive each scheduled dose of this medication as directed. If you miss a dose, contact your doctor or pharmacist immediately to establish a new dosing schedule.
STORAGE: Store at room temperature away from light and moisture. Do not store in the bathroom. Keep all medications away from children and pets.

Chapter SevenMature
I answer the door, to find one of my mechanics holding a set of car keys out to me.
" Here's the keys to you new Eco-car. It will be ready first thing in the morning."
I thank him, and head to my bed room, ready to get a good night sleep.
Awaking early, I decided to take my newest car out for a drive. It wad delivered to my mansion while I was on tour last. It's the newest Eco-friendly, sports, luxury car in existence. The general public won't be able to get these for another 4 months.
The newest features for this years model are the new engine and the exhaust system. The engine is fueled by trash, similar to the fuel system you may remember from Back to the Future. The new exhaust system turns all emissions from the car into Happy Meals (your choice of chicken nuggets or cheeseburger, including the toy) and the crab biscuits from Red Lobster (which for some reason come in a Happy Meal box).
So I start the car, and start eating the biscuits, and happy meals that the car is providing. I flip the honey mustard switch (which comes standard) and am flying down the roads, surpassing speeds of 200 miles per hour, while enjoying my homey mustard covered chicken nuggets.
I link by brain implant to my car's Wi-Fi connection, and instantly can access any song I can think of. I decide to go old school, and instantly Acid Bath is playing.
Linking my brain implant chip further with the car, my mind takes full control. With my hands now free, I decide it's time to smoke one, so I reach into my center compartment, and pull out a huge bag of weed. While still using my mind to drive, I use my hands to roll a long joint, then use my hands to smoke it.
Sometime later, I realize I got the munchies bad. I get off the highway I'm currently driving on, and quickly notice a Wal-Mart. I park, and literally run to the grocery side. Ten minutes later, I jogging back to the car with 4 bags of munchies, I enter the car and dump out my bounty of munchies on the passenger seat. I open a bag of chips, and drive back towards the highway.
After finishing the chips, I reach over to find the Swiss Cake Rolls, but my hand doesn't feel the box. I look over and see that it has fallen on the floor. So I lean over, reaching for the box. As I grab it I am overcome with a odd feeling...something is out of place, but I can't figure out what. Shrugging off the feeling, I sit back up, rip open the box, and preparing to devour the first snack when I look out the window and noticed my car has drove straight off the mountain cliff. I see the grown below me, as the car plummets it's way down the 17000 foot drop, the top down with Happy Meal Boxes flying out everywhere. I lean back and enjoy the ride, knowing as long as I've got my magic cowboy hat I'll be fine.

If you've ever listened to a song by Waka Flocka then you'll probably be surprised to learn that he can actually read. I know I was.
Don't get me wrong, I'm a fan of the guy. I'm not one of these Hip-Hop purists that ONLY listen to Nas and KRS One. Waka, while unable to rhyme well, makes music that sounds good in my car. And that's all I care about.
ANYWAY, back on topic. He got together with XXL recently to read some 50 Shades of Grey, and hit makes for a hilarious watch. Obviously.
The first part at the top pretty much just eases you in. If you don't have much time, I'd suggest watching the second part.

This Sunday's Top 40 singles chart will be the first to be calculated on how many times a track has been streamed online as well as the number of download and CD sales. The act who snatched number one is a new star in the UK, although she has been popular in America for years. Here's what you need to know about Ariana Grande:
Who is Ariana Grande?
Twenty-one-year-old Grande has been in showbusiness since her teens. Raised in Florida, she first appeared on Broadway in 2008. Two years later, when she was 17, she was cast as the ditsy Cat Valentine in Nickelodeon's Emmy-nominated Victorious, which followed the hallway antics of Hollywood stage school students. Although Victorious left critics unimpressed, the show was one of Nickelodeon's most popular, winning ratings of nearly 6 million when it first aired. It ended its run in 2013 but the tweenie viewers wanted more, and Grande continued to play Valentine in a spin-off, Sam & Cat, another farcical sitcom in which two teenage girls become improbable roomates and run a babysitting business.
Ariana Grande as Cat Valentine from Victorious
Grande's appeal among the under-13s and musical background led to a first, unsuccessful attempt at a singing career in 2011, with the release of saccharine kiddy pop single Put Your Hearts Up. The track was accompanied by a video in which she strolled around a chintzy vintage American town in a prom dress. It was an image which Grande told Rolling Stone was "straight out of hell".
She went on to sing on the third soundtrack for Victorious with her co-star, Victoria Justice and in 2012 dueted with Mika on his single Popular Song. But it wasn't until 2013 that Grande's pop career really took off in earnest. Bouncy nu-soul duet, The Way, which Grande recorded with American rapper Mac Miller trumped both Justin Timberlake and One Direction's sales figures in March, before her debut album Truly Yours reached the top 10 in nine countries, and number one in America.
Problem, her latest single to be released in the UK, is set to make Grande a household name here. The track features a rap from Australian star Iggy Azalea and peaked at number two in the Billboard Top 100 - it looks set to win Grande her first UK chart topper.
Iggy Azalea performs with Ariana Grande on what could be their first UK number one, Problem [WIREIMAGE]
What's her appeal?
Many TV stars in the US have had successful pop careers, including Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera and Selena Gomez. Grande should follow in their footsteps. Not only does she have an enormous fanbase from her Nickelodeon days, but, like One Direction, these teenie-boppers know how to marshall social media to share their appreciation. Grande has nearly 50 million followers across Facebook, Twitter and Instagram - even her dog Coco has 11,000 Twitter followers.
Her online following shows the gap in the market for a fresh-faced popstar like Grande. The teen singers who proceeded her, such as Spears, Aguilera and Miley Cyrus, have grown up to try and connect with older audiences. For now, at least, Grande is maintaining a relatively innocent image with clothes that are flirty rather than sexy, bambi eyes and Kate Middleton hair. She's paid respect to Cyrus in interviews, but told Complex magazine that she's "not comfortable being sexy and dressing sexy - I don't see myself ever becoming a sex symbol."
It's worth noting, however, that Grande does keep company with rappers such as A$AP Ferg, whose obscenity-ridden F----- Problem she covered on MTV, and Big Sean, so her clean-cut image may wane.
Grande's musical ambitions have been given a massive boost by her collaboration with Max Martin. The Swedish producer and songwriter is responsible for huge worldwide hits including Katy Perry's I Kissed a Girl and Teenage Dream, Taylor Swift's We Are Never Ever Ever Getting Back Together and I Knew You Were Trouble, Britney's breakthrough single ...Baby One More Time and Backstreet Boys' I Want It That Way. Nearly 40 of Martin's songs have sold more than a million copies.
Martin is responsible for the almost flagrantly catchy horn riffs on Problem, which harks back to Nineties' RnB - aside from Azalea's reference to Jay-Z's 99 Problems - with a big, octave-spanning verse and a whispered chorus.
In support of all this Grande is a genuine vocal talent: her sugary-sweet voice spans four octaves and has been compared to Mariah Carey. It's a voice that her producer, Kenneth Edmonds, who has worked with TLC and Beyoncé, describes as "one of those feel-good voices we haven't heard in a long time".
What's next?
Grande's second album, My Everything, is out on 25 August and is stuffed with more hits including the club-lite Break Free. Before that, she's releasing 'powerhouse anthem' Big Bang with Jessie J and Nikki Minaj, which is also produced by Martin.

Proceeds from selling off the student loan book will fund an extra 30,000 university places next year, with no cap at all placed on numbers the year after.
The move was part of a number of measures to boost education and training in this morning's Autumn Statement amid damaging figures showing the UK stagnating. Earlier this week the country failed to make the top 20 in maths, reading and science in tests taken by 15-year-olds.
Chancellor Georrge Osborne announced a further 20,000 new higher apprenticeships. Funding for them will be provided directly by HM Revenue & Customers to businesses.
A further 50,000 people will be assisted to start up businesses through start up loans.
Anyone aged 18-21 signing on without basic maths and literacy skills will be required to undertake basic training.
Those aged 16-17 years old not in education, employment or training - the so-called NEETs - will be required to undertake work experience or work placements within six months.
"A culture of wordlessness becomes entrenched when young people can leave school and expect to go on the dole with nothing in return," said the Chancellor said.

The British singing sensation just dropped the most anticipated album of the year. But can she impress impersonators?
Adele just pulled a hilarious prank on a group of her own impersonators. Teaming up with the BBC's Graham Norton, the 25-year-old singer underwent a makeover to become "Jenny."
To pull it off, Adele got a fake chin and fake nose to go undercover — "I've got bum chins," she quips — and she gives her infamous accent an overhaul.
When she stepped onstage she caused her fellow impersonators to cringe as she appeared to be so scared that she missed her music cue. But as soon as she started singing, no one can deny that, right there, is most definitely Adele. Naturally, they were all immediately brought to tears by her angelic singing.

Nelson backs new Bradfield candidate
Former Opposition leader Brendan Nelson has backed the new Liberal candidate for his safe Sydney seat of Bradfield.
It is one of the safest liberal seats in Australia and it was made vacant when Dr Nelson decided to quit politics.
Paul Fletcher, 44, a former telecommunications executive who is married with two children has been chosen as his successor.
He has the support of Dr Nelson.
"And I have every confidence that Paul is an outstanding choice and I congratulate you Paul on your success today," he said.
Mr Fletcher says he is honoured to be chosen.
"I'm very encouraged and pleased as well by the support that Brendan Nelson has indicated he will be providing in this campaign," he said.
Federal Liberal frontbencher Joe Hockey, has told ABC1's Insiders program he knows Mr Fletcher well.
"I went through university with him, he was at the top of the class, I wasn't quite at that level but he was right up there," he said.
"He is an extremely smart man, he is erudite, he is very focussed, he is also someone who has a real social conscience - he is a compassionate man."
That campaign kicks off today, where Mr Fletcher will be joined by Dr Nelson and NSW Opposition Leader Barry O'Farrell for a protest against overdevelopment in Sydney.
Ruddock, Bishop to retire?
Meanwhile federal Liberal frontbencher Ian Macfarlane has played down the suggestion that long-serving federal Liberals, Philip Ruddock and Bronwyn Bishop, should retire.
Mr Macfarlane says the Liberals who missed out should run for preselection for more marginal seats.
He has told Channel Nine Liberal veterans Mr Ruddock and Ms Bishop should not be pressured to quit in favour of new blood.
"That's really an issue for those individuals to sort out," he said.
"If you look at people like Bronwyn and Philip, they've given extraordinary service to the party and they deserve the right to make those decisions themselves."

This is a VERY short drabble that I just had to quickly type up before the thought was lost in my jumble of a mind.
Seriously...just read it and you'll understand.
Disclaimer: I do not own the Teen Titans. They belong to DC Comics and WB.
Robin ran along top the buildings of Jump City in pursuit of a villain on the run. He had been out on his nightly patrol, bored out of his mind, and he was more than happy to break up a mugging when it came about. He was even happier when he found out it wasn't just a normal mugger, but some super powered villain that would offer more of a challenge. Normal people wouldn't want this, but Robin was not normal in the least bit. He thrives on adventure, and even the villains seem to notice this time and time again.
Robin growled as he saw the man up ahead, hauling multiple bags as he floated from building to building. "Freeze!" He picked up his pacing, hoping that the villain would actually stop, no mater how unlikely it seemed, which didn't cause him much surprise when the man didn't stop.
He watched at the crook turned a sharp corner and then head straight down the side of a building, which Robin knew was the local auto-part store. He also knew that the only ways for the villain to go without making himself visible again was to go through the narrow pathway behind the videogame store next door. He smirked to himself, knowing that he had him; he just needed to go ninja on his ass.
He silently crept down the building and caught sight of the villain sneaking down the exact path he expected, making him feel a sense of pride. Now all he had to do was make it to the end of the path and hide, and then jump out at him when he goes by. He kept his eye on the man as he slowly lifted himself up the building again with his grappling hook, and moved swiftly and silently across the buildings until he hit the dead end. He slowly made his way down the side of the building and hid in a crack between the two buildings creating the dead end.
He knew the crook was coming closer. The footsteps were louder and closer together; he had to guess he was now moving on only twenty-five feet away. Robin cracked his knuckles, ready for a good beat-down. When he was about to pounce out, he suddenly heard a 'swish', and then nothing. His brow furrowed and he slowly peeked out, eyes widening when there was no one there. He stepped out of the crevice completely and scanned all of his surroundings, completely at a loss. "Wha-"
He was cut off when he noticed a small letter on the ground.
He kneeled down with a confused expression, picking the piece of paper up, only to find his name written on the front. He unfolded the paper and read it.
"You should really re-think that outfit of yours. No sneak attacks when the villain can see you from a mile away."
His face was set in a tight frown and he tore up the paper, throwing it to the ground as he began to stomp away.
"Stupid crooks."
Okay, so I know the costume holds sentimental value, but seriously. I mean, it has to be hard to hide in those bright colors.
Yep, this is what I think about in class.
Also, with me creating all these drabbles/one-shots that totally pick on Robin, I'm really thinking I should start calling them like..."Robin Torture" series. You know, whenever a one-sot about him comes out, it would be a part of the series and stuff...
No? Maybe.

Lender Questions
- lock_openI am an individual Lender. What are the next steps ?
Kindly register at the site as a lender. Based on your profile, we will suggest you suitable verified borrowers. Once the loan terms are finalized, you would need to send money to the borrower. In return, the borrower would provide you post-dated checks to you.
- lock_openCan I lend at LoanMeet?
All Banks, NBFCs, and financial institutions can lend via LoanMeet. Also, all Indian nationals with a bank account can lend to individual borrowers.
- lock_openI am living outside of Bangalore. Can I still lend?
Yes, you can.
- lock_openDoes LoanMeet guarantee the principal or interest payment ?
NO. As of today, we do not guarantee the principal or interest payment. We are working with partners who can help us in this regard.
- lock_openI am a salaried individual, and I am skeptical about lending at LoanMeet. Please tell me more.
We understand. Why would someone lend to an individual whom he does not know? At LoanMeet, we have excellent track record all loans are performing well. Unlike other platforms, not a single loan originated from LoanMeet has gone bad; all loan payments were made on-time. Let us know if you want to talk to a fellow lender, we can arrange a call between you and an experienced lender.
- lock_openWhat if the borrower defaults on the loan, or does not pay the loan amount ?
We understand your concern. Before we give the loan amount, we try our best to ensure that this does not happen. However, despite our best efforts, it can happen. We will reach out to an outside collection agency, and ask it to collect the remaining principal, interest, and penalty from the borrower. We will also help the lender file a legal case against the borrower. Please understand that we, LoanMeet, have not guaranteed the principal or interest amount. Before giving a loan to an individual, we take post-dated cheques from the borrower. We follow a similar procedure that most financial institutions do to recover the loan amount. We have a six-step process to recover the loan amount. We have partnered with leading recovery agencies to get you your money.
- lock_openHow much money can I lend?
For individuals, you can invest starting from Rs. 10,000. For each loan request, we encourage investors to diversify their investments, and not invest not more than 33% in a loan request.
- lock_openHow safe is my money?
The funds are transferred directly from your bank account to borrowers account during lending, and vice versa for EMI payments. The entire process is similar to NEFT transactions where you transfer funds from your bank account to your friends account.
- lock_openWhy does LoanMeet need to verify my details?
The loan agreement between borrowers and lenders is a legal agreement on a stamp paper; it contains PAN number of lender as well. We want to make sure that lenders are legitimate, and using their own bank account funds to lend money.
- lock_openHow are repayments calculated?
Your payments depend on the loan amount, tenure of loan, and interest rates. Your installment per month will remain the same throughout the tenure of your loan. The first installment may be different depending on the date of disbursal.
- lock_openWhen does the money go out of my account?
Once a loan transaction is closed by the borrower, the money is collected from the Investor within 3-5 working days.
- lock_openWill I know my Borrowers?
Once a Borrower listing has been approved by LoanMeet, their entire profile can be viewed by all registered Lenders including their financial information. For further information, please view our privacy policy.
- lock_openCan I lend more than once?
Yes, you can. You can lend to multiple borrowers and once you finish the tenure for the committed amount.
- lock_openI want to change the terms and conditions of loan after giving the loan money.
Sorry, we cannot do that. The loan agreement is a legal document, and we cannot modify it.
- lock_openWhat if LoanMeet shuts down ?
Lets hope this does not happen. Even if this occurs, then the legal loan agreement between borrower and lenders still holds true. You will not lose money, as the borrower is still obliged to make EMI payments.
- lock_openCan I choose the date to get my repayment?
No, repayment date for all loans is based on borrowers salary date. If the individual gets salary on the last day of month, then the loan payment would be 2nd of the month.
- lock_openWhat kind of returns can I expect?
The rate of returns depends on your investments. We project average of 21% risk-adjusted returns. So far, we have not lost a single rupee of investors funds. In fact, all of our borrowers have paid on-time since the start of our operations. We hope to continue this trend through our due diligence, and bring only good borrowers to LoanMeet platform.
- lock_openWhat happens in case of delayed or non-payment by Borrowers?
In case the EMI is not paid by the due date, additional penal interest as per LoanMeet will be charged to the Borrower on the amount due for time period lapsed after the due date. Borrowers will be liable to pay their Lender(s), this penal interest. In the worst case scenario LoanMeet will facilitate the collections through empaneled agencies. These are reputed collection agencies which are empaneled by banks and financial institutions. This also includes legal process for recovery of funds if required.
- lock_openWhat happens in case of delayed or non-payment of EMI?
In case the EMI is not paid by the due date, additional penal interest of 2% p.m. will be applied to the amount due for the duration of delay which Borrowers will be liable to pay their Lender(s) + collection charges of Rs. 500 will be charged to the Borrower by LoanMeet. In the worst case scenario, LoanMeet will facilitate the collections through empaneled agencies. These are reputed collection agencies that are empaneled by any bank and financial institutions. This also includes legal process for recovery of funds if required.
- lock_openIs my interest income through LoanMeet taxable?
All repayments you receive from Borrowers on LoanMeet will be without any tax deduction. We'll provide an annual income statement to you to download from your dashboard. Earnings will be taxable as per the income tax rules that apply to you.
- lock_openHow long does it take to find Borrowers?
This will generally depend on the number of Borrowers in the LoanMeet marketplace who are willing to borrow from you based on the return you expect and the money you are willing to lend.
- lock_openCan I re-lend to the Borrower whom I earlier gave a loan?
Yes, you can. We have done that. However, we will again go through the credit verification process of the borrower, as this is a new loan. Everyone who wants to borrow is checked, verified and analyzed for credit and risk. That means we lend it to sensible borrowers with proper agreements. There are agencies that LoanMeet has tied up for verification and recovery to chase any missed payments or non-payments. These are reputed collection agencies which are empaneled by banks and financial institutions. To manage risk, please spread your money to a number of borrowers. At LoanMeet, we bring only good credit worthy borrowers to our investors. There may be a rare occasion where one of your borrowers cant pay you back, perhaps due to redundancy or illness or death. In that case, we will work with the borrower on a new payment plan.
- lock_openWhat is the typical loan amount and loan period ?
The amount and loan period for personal and business loans are different. a. Personal Loan Loan Amount - Rs. 50,000 to Rs. 5 Lakhs Loan Period - 3 months to 2 years b. Business Loan Loan Amount Rs. 5 Lakhs to Rs. 50 Lakhs Loan Period 3 months to 12 months

Indiana Jones: The Complete Adventures
If a classic film means one that still works today as well as it did when it was first released, then 1981's Raiders Of The Lost Ark certainly fits that bill. It's a thing of perfection – nothing is wasted, clumsy or off-topic – and it's a blockbuster that you don't need to apologise for loving or dismiss as brainless fun. It wasn't a big budget affair, but it's spectacular when it needs to be, and, as a family film that includes some Nazi face-melting, quite daring. Star Wars may have made Harrison Ford a star, but Raiders made him a superstar.
The sequels, while never quite reaching the heights of the first film, are still a lot of fun. Indiana Jones And The Temple Of Doom seems a big step backwards, teaming Indy with an annoying sidekick as well as an annoying and useless love interest, but it thinks big for its set-pieces (such as the dizzying mine cart chase), and it's hard not to like a movie that opens with a song and dance number for no reason whatsoever. Indiana Jones And The Last Crusade was a real return to form, with Sean Connery proving a great fit as Indy's dad. The much later third sequel, Indiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull, is as ungainly as the sloppy title suggests, but when an ageing Indy dons his iconic hat and jacket and cracks that whip, it generates more excitement than you'd expect from a film that features Shia LaBeouf.

New Center Opening Celebration
You're invited to join staff, faculty, community friends and partners for our New Center Opening Celebration on Wednesday, September 28th.
The Center will be open to the public all day. Official Celebration Program: 5-7pm (ribbon cutting ceremony at 5:30pm).
Please help us recognize and celebrate our Community Building Together in the form of our beautiful new Center.
Let us know if you will be attending our event on our UC Rumford/Mexico Facebook page or call us for more information at (207) 364-7882.
University College at Rumford/Mexico (UCRM) has been part of the River Valley community for nearly 30 years, moving back and forth across the river now twice. We have, for those 30 years, been proudly supporting and serving an average of 275 students each semester, graduating roughly 30 each year. That means approximately 900 River Valley Community Members have achieved their educational goals and brought those skills back into our area in fields such as Nursing, Mental Health Services, Business Administration, Computer Information Systems, and Justice Studies and more.
UCRM is a true representation of community building together. The new Center is a jointly funded project, shared equally between the River Valley Technology Center and the University of Maine System. Each party showing its commitment to the community, their spirit of persistence, and their hope for a bright future through matching quarter million dollar investments and willingness to collaborate.
We hope this new, highly visible, centralized space will act not only as a beacon of academic aspiration, but also as a space that will welcome in our neighbors and partners. UCRM now has the potential to host business and agency meetings. In addition, through our increased video-conference capabilities, UCRM can provide the same flexibility and ability to work at a distance to our community.
This Center demonstrates that Western Maine students and communities are important to the University of Maine System. UCRM students can expect the same quality in academics and support services as students on campuses throughout the state. Our move to the heart of the River Valley reflects the forward looking vision of all who participated in the re-creation of this valuable community asset.
Thank you to all who helped build this – together.
Lisa Cooper, University College at Rumford/Mexico Center Director

They were so focused on their task that they didn't realize that the sun was coming up and they were turned to stone when the sun's rays hit them (same thing happens to trolls – trolls usually get caught in the sun when they have been drinking ...

Evan and MarissaMature
Marissa couldn't believe it when her name was followed by 'Evan Sarry'. She was actually going to be spending a half hour with the famed Evan Sarry? When she walked up to the gazebo she was sure that Evan would take Mrs Finney aside and have a quiet word about changing partners, or not wanting to be a part of the scheme any longer but no such thing happened. Mrs Finney pointed her out to him and he walked up with that wide warm smile he liked to wear on his face, took her hand and shook it like the gentleman he always seemed to be and told her, "You look really pretty tonight."
Marissa flushed. She didn't think his compliment was the truth: the deep green satin clung to her figure making her look unhealthily skinny and not really complementing any aspect of her looks.
"Y-you look handsome," she told him, and she knew that she was being honest. The black suit clearly displayed his broad shoulders and thick muscles, his hair was thick and looked wonderful to tangle your fingers in, and his eyes... Oh, his eyes. They seemed to see right through her and gaze upon the frightened young woman inside, hiding behind the lock of brown hair falling over one eye and the foundation which covered up the imperfections of her skin, and though that was terrifying, it was also strangely exhilarating.
"Thank you," Evan replied, his smile widening fractionally because it wasn't possible for him to look much happier than they had been looking previously.
After they had received their watch Evan led Marissa to the East Lawn.
"I don't think we'll need to use this," Evan said, dangling the watch in one hand. He slipped it into his pocket and looked straight into Marissa's eyes. "I'd be quite content spending more than half an hour with you."
Marissa's heart fluttered.
"Y-you would?" she said stupidly. She panicked - maybe he'd take that back if he thought she was dumb. "I, I mean, I'd love to spend more than half an hour with you."
Evan chuckled, and Maria cursed to herself. Now she sounded like she was desperately in love with him.
"Would you like to dance?" Evan asked, as the perfect music for a slow dance suddenly spread across the lawn.
"I- I would," Marissa stammered.
With gentleness that would be appropriate for a child, Evan took her waist with his left hand while placing his right hand on her left shoulder. Nervously Marissa rested her hands on his shoulders, resisting the temptation to feel their firmness.
As they slowly swayed from side to side, Evan gazed into Marissa's eyes. Neither of them spoke, as if they were allowing a silent force much more powerful than conversation to express itself and the palpable warmth in the air didn't seem to be just the climate.
'I'm slow-dancing with Evan Sarry,' Marissa thought giddily. 'Please don't let it be a dream,' she prayed.
And by some miracle, a divine force heard her. The music changed and the dancing stopped but she didn't wake up. She felt distinctly the physical sense of Evan's arm around her back as he began to steer her towards the drinks tent.
This was really happening.
