One of the preferred hobbies for a lot of Americans is having a garden. Any person who gardens can certainly enjoy it, from the beginner right through to the most experienced and dedicated of gardeners. There are some basics to learn, but there after it is actually quite easy. Allow me to share a few guidelines to help you prepare your garden for year-round enjoyment.
When you get started, first figure out the order of your planting. Begin with planning where to put the larger plants, then turn to the ones that are smaller. This matter of the various sizes of plants ought to be considered in your planning. Any time you want to incorporate a certain plant, it's good to find out its size when fully grown. Gardening novices are going to find it useful to plant a few perennials, of which one of the many benefits is that they don't die annually, but keep going year after year. Perennials also are cheaper than annuals while keeping them is not as demanding. When you are trying to find low maintenance options you should consider black-eyed susans, hostas, or daylilies.
With annuals, instead of buying plants ready to set in the soil, it is more economical to start them from seed. Even so, attempting to grow annuals through planting seeds straight in your garden is very hard. An excellent thing to do would be to begin seeding this sort of plant indoors, making sure that they get plenty of water and sunlight. This will stimulate vigorous growth, so that by the time they have to be transferred to the garden they will be strong and will quickly resume growing after being transplanted. When you're growing your annuals make sure that the dirt is dry. Annuals will mature to their greatest size more effortlessly with the soil being drier. Nevertheless, after they have been planted, the vegetation do need lots of water to be retained in the soil, which is achieved by mixing in organic material. Dry garden soil in the beginning helps these plants get started better, but thereafter the roots need lots of water.
Make a decision on a technique for irrigating your garden, simply because if that is inadequate it will cause a real problem. The irrigation system you need is based on the plants that will be growing in your garden. An irrigation system that is embedded in the ground prior to planting may be the strategy to use if your plants are the thirsty type. For anyone who is going to be away, this type of system is great because it will deal with watering your plants. It merely calls for some care in preparing to create an energy-efficient garden. You can establish a slope plan if you have fears about your garden in the summer and the water it needs. Place your shorter plants inside the shade of the taller ones, because that way their requirement for water will be reduced.
Turn into the neighbourhood gardening pro by building on these simple innovations. Understanding the secrets of success could make you a great gardener.

Simon Walker, our latest intern from Strathclyde University, started work with us a few weeks ago. He will be researching vaccinations for smallpox in India using secondary and primary sources to write web text for the Medical History of British India Project website using NLS web writing guidelines.
It turns out that Simon's grandfather was Harold Walker (Baron Walker of Doncaster), which of course was of great interest to us here in the Official Publications Unit.
Harold Walker was an Amalgamated Engineering and Electrical Workers' Union (AUEW)-sponsored Labour Member of Parliament for Doncaster from 1964, holding the seat for 33 years. His political career progressed through junior whip in Harold Wilson's government, under-Secretary for Employment, Privy Counsellor and Deputy Speaker. His union links were compromised by his involvement in Barbara Castle's incomes policy initiative, the controversial "In place of strife"*, but he saw more progress with his work on equal pay, though Hansard shows that he still got a rough ride, despite his best intentions.
According to his obituary in the Telegraph, "One of Walker's most celebrated rulings was to order (with a barely-controlled straight face) the Labour maverick Tam Dalyell from the Chamber in 1986 for calling Mrs Thatcher "a bounder, a liar, a deceiver, a cheat and a crook", thereby uttering the five most un-Parliamentary expressions in a single sentence. Walker also expelled the future Scottish [First Minister] Alex Salmond for interrupting Nigel Lawson's 1988 Budget speech".
He was knighted and served in the Lords on his retirement in 1997.
*You can access this report at the Library, shelfmark: P.P. 1969-1969 Cmnd 3888, or see the electronic version online, if you are a registered reader, in our licensed digital resources.
Simon was kind enough to bring in various documents, diaries and photographs, including this one of a (much younger!) Simon, with his distinguished granddad receiving his KBE, and Harold's second wife.

Amid the fanfare of the Help to Buy ISA in last week's Budget, the Chancellor made another, quieter move to help renters. George Osborne pledged to legislate to stop tenants automatically being banned in their contracts from sub-letting space in their home on a short-term basis.
This move follows changes in the Deregulation Bill to allow Londoners to rent out their homes for short periods without needing planning permission - previously anyone in the capital advertising holiday lets on sites such as Airbnb was breaking the law.Read more
In short, not much. It took 40 minutes for the first mention of housing, behind an announcement of £1million to celebrate the 600 year anniversary of the Battle of Agincourt no less. As well as expected announcements on funding for a London land commission to address 'the acute housing crisis' and the 20 housing zones due to be launched to boost house building, there was a surprise announcement of a 'Help to Buy ISA'.Read more
Yesterday's Homes for Britain rally in Westminster attracted speakers across the spectrum, from Cathy Come Home director Ken Loach to UKIP's Nigel Farage. Amid the rhetorical fireworks was a small but important policy announcement which might have passed some people by.
The Liberal Democrat speaker, Ed Davey MP, said his party would offer government-backed loans to first-time renters under the age of 30 to cover the up-front costs of a tenancy. Generation Rent has been urging the government to adopt this policy since last year - it is already being offered to civil servants.Read more
It was announced this week that the Government was protecting tenants by improving fire safety regulations in the private rented sector. However, at the same time they are making it more difficult for councils to introduce borough-wide landlord licensing that help to protect tenants from rogue landlordsRead more
There has been some positive news for renters for a change! It was announced by the Minister for Fire Resilience and Emergencies, Penny Mordaunt, at the Local Government Association fire conference, that smoke alarms and carbon monoxide alarms are to become mandatory in all privately rented accommodation. These life-saving regulations will be laid before Parliament and will require all private sector landlords to install smoke alarms on each storey of their property, carbon monoxide alarms in the rooms considered most at risk from high levels of carbon monoxide and to check the alarms are in working order at the start of any new tenancy.Read more

Renters are 75% more likely to experience serious anxiety and depression than home-owners, according to a Survation poll commissioned by Generation Rent which we are publishing today. Nearly two in five people who rent their home say they have experienced serious anxiety or depression in the past year. One in five (21%) homeowners reported similar experiences.Read more
It was hard yesterday not to have some sympathy with Green Party leader Natalie Bennett after that painful interview. But coming unstuck on the numbers or not, it highlighted the point that they are the only party with a shot of winning seats (in England at least) that actually has a target for building significant numbers of social homes and which has identified private sector landlords as the ideal source for funding this.Read more

We believe that the client's municipal portfolio should be part of the low risk portion of the overall asset allocation.
We believe that successful fixed income management is a product of maintaining a conservative discipline that does not take undue risks in pursuit of yield, but rather selectively takes on moderate risk exposures when the risk/reward tradeoff for that exposure is favorable.
Neutral Interest Rate
Anticipation Leveraged
Strategy High Quality
Investment Grade Investment
Grade High
Yield Distressed
Debt Highly Predictable Cash Flow
(Bullet Bonds) Unpredictable cash flow
(Calls, sinks, prepays)
Conservative, long-term focus
Interest rate risk is the most prevalent risk in any fixed income portfolio. The fact that interest rates move in cycles presents an opportunity to enhance the income generating ability of a portfolio. In general, we concentrate portfolios in shorter maturities during rising interest rate environments and longer maturities when rates are falling.
HIGH quality provides overall portfolio stability
In order to effectively reduce the risk of an overall portfolio, the fixed income allocation must have a low correlation to other asset classes included in an investor's overall asset allocation. This is most effectively achieved by concentrating on very high quality securities.
Giving Up Slight Call Protection Can Enhance Yield
We utilize callable bonds to the extent that the additional yield gained from the callable security offsets the loss of cash flow certainty. Typically, this occurs most often when giving up only slight call protection. We are able to enhance the income of our portfolios by owning this type of bond without unduly increasing reinvestment risk. We use far fewer callable bonds than exist in our benchmark.
We invest in high quality bonds to preserve principle.
Many factors must be considered when building an optimal portfolio. Our fixed income team uses the macroeconomic landscape, relative value between sectors, and issue level risk/reward analysis as inputs to make portfolio decisions such as portfolio duration, sector contribution to duration, yield curve positioning and structure exposure.
Top down analysis
Bottom up analysis
Municipal Credit
Risk Assessment
Issue Level
Client Characteristics
Every portfolio we build is unique, as dictated by the diverse needs of our clients. Each individual client's income requirements, liquidity needs, investment horizon and related risk tolerance drive our tax sensitive fixed income process.
Tax Situation
No two clients will have the same tax situation. A client's marginal tax bracket, state of residence, AMT concerns and capital gains positions are all considered while formulating the optimal portfolio.
State Level
We internally rank all 50 states using an internal ranking system. We look at many different statistics including but not limited to: long term debt to GDP ratio, interest expense to revenue ratio and pension liabilities.
County Level
The United States has 3140 counties. We internally rank the 1816 counties which have populations over 25,000. Some of the statistics that we consider include: median household income, unemployment, and the percentage of the population below the poverty level.
Local Level
We choose bonds of individual municipalities based on the strength of the county and the state. We compare bonds of similar structure, quality and maturity to find the best issue at the time of purchase.
Issue Level Selection
A well balanced portfolio will contain municipal issues backed by both the revenue of specific projects and by the general obligations of individual communities. We focus our investments in geographically stable regions of the country while diversifying individual state exposure as much as possible. Often, state exposure will be driven by tax regulations in the clients state of residence. Geographical diversity increases the safety of the municipal portfolio as each bond is exposed to different economic circumstances.

John Gibson Blasts Left-Wing Hate Sites
Here's the text version:
Many of our viewers have asked about where to send well-wishes to my former colleague Tony Snow. The White House has now set up a way to do that. Log on to whitehouse.gov and you will see the link to send your message to Tony. The White House assures us he will get them all.
But sad to say, it's not all sweetness and sympathy for Tony. I've talked about the angry left before, but nothing illustrates the anger and the bitterness and the venom of the left than someone on the right becoming ill.
When Dick Cheney goes to the hospital the liberal blogs erupt in hate, wishing he would die and all the rest. And when Tony's cancer came back, I regret to say, they did not restrain themselves.
My last e-mailer demanded to know who would post ill wishes to Tony. OK, the Daily Kos is one. It is written from Berkeley, California, and it is a place where Ted Kennedy and Harry Reid and John Kerry and John Edwards post messages to attract liberal voters.
Yesterday at 11 in the morning somebody named Winsmith posted on the Daily Kos: "Why do I have to pretend I care about Tony Snow? That I'm praying for him? I don't. I'm sorry to hear he has cancer. Other than that I'm not going to give that lying bleep another thought."
At 1:55 in the afternoon somebody else wrote on the Daily Kos: "Tony Snow killed 3,242 Americans. Bleep Tony Snow."
On the left-wing blog Think Progress, at 1 in the afternoon somebody named Buzzbomb wrote: "Hundreds of people are diagnosed with cancer everyday. It sucks for anyone. Why the fawning for a bleep like Snow? He's the mouthpiece for a group of thugs that have hijacked our country."
I could go on, but I won't. There were lots.
There were also people on these left blogs who said they felt sorry for Tony and wouldn't wish him ill, but a number who were willing to throw off any sense of decency and say the most vile things is truly shocking and ought to be a great source of shame for the left. These blogs are where the political energy for the Democrat left is coming from, and they reveal there is a rotten core at the center.
By the way, you could find this same sort of garbage on The Huffington Post, run by Arianna Huffington, who now puts herself forward as a power broker on the left. She should be ashamed too for letting that stuff onto her Web site. She was embarrassed because she did take it down, but she never should have let it go on in the first place.
That's My Word.
I love blogging because of the freshness of the news and opinions that are expressed. What I hate about blogging is the amount of incivility that can be expressed anonymously. This became evident when it became known that Tony Snow's cancer had returned. Left leaning blogs became almost gleeful in their messages of hate and wishes of death for him. I've not seen right leaning blogs wish a quick and painful death to Elizabeth Edwards now that we know her cancer has returned as well.
Unfortunately for the Democratic party, their left wing has become a cancer on their integrity and honor.

In Washington, D.C.:
Vanessa Bauza, IFC
Phone: 202-458-1603
E-mail: email@example.com
Washington DC, January 23, 2017 — IFC,
a member of the World Bank Group, has provided $92.5 million in long term
financing to four subsidiaries of Grupo Promerica to boost access to finance
for small and medium enterprises. Though small and medium enterprises are
engines of job creation, representing 95 percent of all companies in Costa
Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala and Nicaragua, more than half of them still
lack access to finance, which limits their ability to grow.
IFC's investment will support four different banks: Banco de la Produccion
S.A. in Nicaragua ($30 million), Banco Promerica S.A in Costa Rica ($32.5
million), Banco Promerica S.A. in El Salvador ($20 million) and Banco Promerica
S.A. Guatemala ($10 million).
Promerica's subsidiaries in Nicaragua and Costa Rica will also use IFC's
funding to provide loans to companies that want to adopt more energy efficient
practices and utilize cleaner energy sources. The objective is to help
companies access credit to invest in clean energy projects. Nicaragua has
extensive geothermic resources while Costa Rica, a global leader in renewable
energy, is aiming to reach carbon neutrality by the end of 2021.
"Sustainability presents challenges for businesses, but also wide-ranging
opportunities," said Ramiro Ortiz Mayorga, President of the Board of Directors
and CEO of Grupo Promerica. "Some financial institutions in the region
are reluctant to provide credits to implement new technologies that they
may not be familiar with. IFC's support allows us to make funds available
that are targeted to energy efficiency. It will also help us expand our
portfolio for small and medium entrepreneurs. Their businesses generate
the vast majority of jobs in Central America and provide essential goods
and services."
"One of the cornerstones of IFC's strategy in Central America is to facilitate
regional integration, which is critical to competitiveness," said Luc
Grillet, IFC's Senior Manager for Central America and the Caribbean. "Our
investment in Grupo Promerica will help a regional financial group expand
access to small and medium entrepreneurs and to climate-related investments,
through long-term funding to its subsidiaries."
About IFC
IFC, a member of the World Bank Group, is the largest global development
institution focused on the private sector in emerging markets. Working
with 2,000 businesses worldwide, we use our six decades of experience to
create opportunity where it's needed most. In FY16, our long-term investments
in developing countries rose to nearly $19 billion, leveraging our capital,
expertise and influence to help the private sector end extreme poverty
and boost shared prosperity. For more information, visit www.ifc.org.
About Grupo Promerica
Promerica is a group of financial institutions linked through Promerica
Financial Corporation (PFC), managed by a multinational team of prestigious
bankers of different nationalities with broad knowledge of economic activities
in Central America, the Caribbean and South America, with 25 years of successful
performance, has become one of the most important financial groups in Latin
America; with presence in nine countries: Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras,
Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, Ecuador, Dominican Republic and Grand Cayman.
Through the financial services that Promerica offers, it contributes to
the financial inclusion, as well as the economic progress of the different
societies and communities that it serves.

sometimes clothes look pretty before we even put them on our backs. like an art form, they don't need to adorn our bodies, they just look great all on their own. like these collections from some of the fashionistas featured on the coveteur. i probably couldn't get away with many of these looks, but that doesn't mean i can't dream up my own versions of them. beautiful clothes and accessories simply to be admired, inspiring us to want to wear them in a myriad of ways. just hanging out, waiting for us to reinvent them.

I am actually a software developer, do have a fair amount of linux experience as a user though since 1997. I am normally on stackoverflow.com, please excuse me if this question isn't appropriate here.
I am working on a web project. We send out emails. I work locally on a linux box. When coding I use my local mailboxes to check what's been sent. Emails sent out to valid email addresses are not arriving at my official mailbox; they might be stopped by the provider's mail servers (gmail, yahoo).
Now, we are sending out HTML mails too. I need to check how they look like.
Is there a GUI frontend to the standard linux BSD mailbox? Or should I install some IMAP/POP server for this? Will such server get the emails sent to username@localhost ?
Thanks for any suggestion

Air Search Radar

Air Traffic Control
International Space Station
Diamond Antenna & Microwave of Littleton, Massachusetts builds long life microwave rotary joints for mission critical applications like Air Traffic Control. While Diamond Antenna designs and builds the RF transmission components in house, customers require a way to transfer power, signal and data as well. The traditional solution for these requirements had been to use a slip-ring. However, due to their inherent wear related issues slip-rings did not match the long life performance of the Diamond Antenna RF rotary joint.
Slip-rings utilize composite solid "brushes" that are sprung to gradually wear against a stainless, silver or gold plated slip-ring rotor to enable power, signal and data to pass between the stationary and rotating elements. As the slip-ring rotates the brushes wear creating debris that requires periodic cleaning to prevent performance degradation and safety hazards like arcing between channels.
Slip-ring brushes continue to wear becoming smaller and smaller which requires maintenance downtime for replacement. If the brushes are not replaced in time the slip-ring rotor can become damaged to the point the slip-ring rotor requires replacement or overhaul. The combination of periodic maintenance and the risks of failure from slip-rings did not match the maintenance free and long life performance of the Diamond Antenna RF rotary joint.
After evaluating the available options to replace slip-rings Diamond Antenna & Microwave bought Roltran, a company that designed and built Roll-Rings. In 2001 Diamond Antenna integrated Diamond Roltran Roll-Rings® into an RF rotary joint destined for air traffic control service. Diamond Roll-Rings® have several advantages over slip-rings which make them ideal for mission critical applications like air traffic control.
Diamond Roll-Rings®, by their design, do not create wear debris like slip-rings. Diamond Roll-Rings® roll between the rotor and stator, a design based on a ball bearing but made of a ring-shaped flexible copper alloy and made to contact the rotor and stator in a manner to produce long life without generating wear debris that requires maintenance.
Diamond Roll-Rings® and the grooves they run in are plated to prevent corrosion and maintain a low resistance interface over the life of the device. Slip-rings, by contrast, are generally plated with materials that will oxidize over time thus requiring the brushes to wear against the slip-ring rotor to constantly remove the oxide layer to expose a conductive surface and enable a low resistance connection. Roll-Rings with their non-oxidizing surfaces and flexible ring enable long life without wear which matches the long life of the Diamond air traffic control rotary joint.
Nineteen countries around the globe successfully use Diamond Antenna & Microwave rotary joints with Diamond Roll-Rings® for mission critical Air Traffic Control radar installations. The long life of both Diamond Antenna rotary joints and Diamond Roll-Rings® are a substantial benefit for mobile and fixed installations to increase mission readiness, reduce downtime and reduce maintenance costs.
Diamond Roll-Rings® are found in mission critical performance applications the world over. For RF antenna applications Diamond Roll-Rings® are available only through Diamond Antenna and as of March 2012 are also available through Diamond Antenna Europe, a joint venture between AML of Metz, France and Diamond Antenna & Microwave.

special correspondent from somewhere else
Murrells Inlet – The biggest olfactory catastrophe in the history of South Carolina has struck the small fishing village of Murrells Inlet and is spreading rapidly despite efforts to contain the disaster site.
Scents 4 Everyone, a perfume manufacturer, began leaking its "Carolina Breeze" fragrance three days ago, through undiscovered cracks in the 100 gallon vats used to combine the Yellow Jessamine flower essence and other ingredients used to make their signature "his" and "her" scents.
Beyond the colossal environmental hazards, the leak has led to accusations of infidelity, with one worker from a nearby law office viciously attacked by his wife for coming home with an unfamiliar scent. "I tried to tell her that the smell was just in the air and that I would never cheat on her with someone who wore designer impostor perfume," said David Smith, "but she was just like, 'Whatever.'"
The perfumes — which includes hints of fresh mandarin and musk for the male fragrance, and magnolia, peach and jasmine for the female fragrance — are designed to linger on the body with a mere spritz. But the gallons of leakage mean that the aroma is here to stay for weeks if not months, and the disaster area will not be confined to just Murrells Inlet. Nearby Myrtle Beach is bracing itself for impact, and Wilmington residents — a full hour away — might not be spared either.
The leak's impact is not just being felt by falsely accused non-adulterers. Ornithologists have reported a worrying phenomena of "metrosexual" pelicans that are being rejected by their mates. "Pelicans are smelly birds that carry around stinky, dead fish in their throat pouches," said Laurie Stern. "When their natural stench is diluted by the aroma of sweet smelling flowers, that's a turn off."
Wildlife workers say that as part of the costly remediation efforts they may try to capture the rejected birds and bathe them in a bath of salt water and rotten fish before releasing them into the wild.
Criticism of Scents 4 Everyone has been swift and harsh, but the company has been quick to spread the blame, citing "shoddily constructed vats" and "overly vigorous ventilation." But the landlord avowed any knowledge of fragrance production. "I thought 'Cents for Everyone' meant they were coin collectors," said Harold P. Giffords.
A spokeswoman for the company producing the vats said that they were intended for use in making wholesale soups, and that the alcohol in the perfumes likely eroded the metal, causing the cracks. "We can't be held responsible for the abusive use of our products," said Sharon Lee-Mandably.
Lawmakers have been quick to denounce all the companies involved and call for federal assistance. Gov. Mark Sanford, noteworthy for being a fiscal miser, demanded that President Obama declare the region a federal disaster area to make it eligible for federal funds, and requested that FEMA bring needed supplies such as deodorizers and nose plugs. "South Carolinians will be living with the scourge of these pernicious fissures for a generation," Sanford said. "We need help more than I needed a better PR advice."
Efforts to reduce the odor have thus far yielded scant success. The first attempt to envelop the factory in a large parachute to contain the smell failed due to the porous material used. Warming up the remaining perfume heightened the odor, to the bemusement of aromatherapists. And recruiting members of the public to spray their own perfumes and colognes into the air to disperse the Carolina Breeze odor merely created a stronger fragrant haze.
In addition to the enduring odor of Yellow Jessamine, some smelled a whiff of political opportunism as a legacy of the leak. Howard Jessop II, a blogger and former employee of state Sen. Jake Knotts, said Wednesday that his conscience would no longer allow him to remain silent about his affair with Nikki Haley, the leading GOP nominee for governor. "On election day, Nikki and I canoodled before she gave her victory speech," said Jessop. "I don't want to go into details, but let's just say if it were baseball, she's no bunter. She went for the grand slam, and you can still smell the Carolina Breeze on me as proof."
Haley received a wave of national attention after Jessop's former boss, Knotts, called Haley — who is Sikh — a "raghead." She received additional attention after two men with ties to Sanford and Lt. Gov. Andre Bauer claimed to have had affairs with her in the past few years.
When it was pointed out that Haley had campaigned near Murrells Inlet and would have likely picked up the scent then, and that he could have easily sprayed himself and his clothes — redolent of Carolina Breeze — with the perfume to provide circumstantial "evidence," Jessop clammed up. "What we shared was special, and I won't say another word about our improper relations. That's between me and God and her and whatever devil she prays to."

Learning to Learn
In today's world, information has never been so easily accessible and the life skills of adaptability, resourcefulness, deep thinking and resilience never so relevant. It is therefore immensely important to us that we produce people who are not merely stores of information, but individuals who know how to access, assess, and apply knowledge; persons who have truly learnt how to learn.
Our aspiration for a student leaving Linton Park Campus is that they are ready for the rest of their life. We want them to look ahead with confidence, knowing that whatever the future, nothing will ever daunt them, because if they are in a situation where they don't know what to do, they will know what to do.
Whilst this is still visionary in part, in practice we have begun this journey, and the move to an increasingly learner-led style of education is an actuality, not a dream.
For the Teacher this means an increasing 'guide from the side' approach that will require some letting go of the students, where they take responsibility for their own learning, but with the teacher giving careful, sensitive monitoring, support and direction.
For the students it means that they understand they can develop not only their knowledge of Maths, Science or Geography, but that their actual capacity to learn, across all subjects and spheres of life, can grow and develop. Through trying, risking failure, not giving up, using the resources they have around them, knowing when and where to ask for help, they can actually expand the ability of their learning power.
As we progress towards this improved and more relevant self-directed learning, in no way will we be surrendering actual attainment; it is simply that the attainment will be achieved through the true ability of the student, not through a program of forced-in knowledge in order to pass an exam.
Students who have really learnt how to learn will become lifelong learners, and we strongly support students of all abilities to continue on to Higher Education when they leave our school.

Feeling lucky today? By using a lottery merchant account, the best fortune is a few steps closer to your doorstep.
Venturing into operating a lottery business seems ideally convenient, but when visit a bank you're a merchant account to be able to get lottery bets through credit card payments, a different scenario comes in.

The thought of winning on a slim chance includes an enormous appeal. More often than not, the great anticipation and excitement is what makes lottery tick. Even though you have lots of tickets, the chance of getting drawn stays undetermined.
Since governments possess upper hand in running lotteries, this will make it harder for private operators to get into the zone. Among the levels they're having a hard time is definitely for merchant webpage. Banks already considered lottery as precarious because of its high chargebacks and tax complications, but with the government mainly because the applicant, banks feel a little more secured.

Lots of people who are looking to buy a new house qualify for various loan programs, but they can't afford a large down payment. Here are a few tips:
Slash the budget and build up savings. Be on the look-out for ways to trim your expenses to set aside funds for a down payment. You could also try enrolling in an automatic savings plan at your bank to automatically have a set amount from your paycheck moved into your savings account. You would be wise to look into some big expenses in your spending history that you can do without, or trim, at least temporarily. Here are a couple of examples: you might decide to move into less expensive housing, or stay local for your vacation.
Work a second job and sell things you don't need. Look for an additional job. This can be rough, but the temporary difficulty can provide your down payment money. You can also seriously consider the possessions you actually need and the things you can put up for sale. A closet full of small items might add up to a fair amount at a garage or tag sale. Also, you might want to think about selling any investments you hold.
Borrow money from your retirement plan. Investigate the provisions of your particular plan. Many homebuyers get down payment money by withdrawing what they need from their IRAs or getting money out of 401(k) programs. Make sure you comprehend the tax consequences, repayment terms, and early withdrawal penalties.
Ask for a generous gift from your family. First-time buyers sometimes receive down payment assistance from thoughtful parents and other family members who may be anxious to help them get into their own home. Your family members may be willing to help you reach the goal of having your own home.
Learn about housing finance agencies. Special mortgage programs are extended to homebuyers in specific situations, such as low income homebuyers or future homeowners planning to renovating houses in a certain place, among others. With the help of a housing finance agency, you may receive a below market interest rate, down payment help and other benefits. Housing finance agencies may help eligible homebuyers with a reduced interest rate, help with your down payment, and offer other benefits. These non-profit programs to promote home ownership in certain places.
Find out about low-down and no-down mortgages.
The Federal Housing Administration (FHA), a part of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), plays an important part in helping low to moderate-income buyers qualify for mortgages. Part of the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development(HUD), FHA (Federal Housing Administration) aids individuals who wish to get home financing. FHA offers mortgage insurance to private lenders, helping the buyers to become eligible for financing. Down payment sums for FHA loans are less than those of typical mortgages, although these mortgages hold current interest rates. Closing costs can be covered by the mortgage, while the down payment may be as low as 3% of the total.
With a guarantee from the Department of Veterans Affairs, a VA loan qualifies veterans and service people. This particular loan requires no down payment, has limited closing costs, and provides the benefit of a competitive interest rate. While it's true that the mortgage loans don't originate from the VA, the department certifies applicants by issuing eligibility certificates.
A piggy-back loan is a second mortgage that closes at the same time as the first. Most of the time, the piggyback loan takes care of 10 percent of the purchase amount, while the first mortgage finances 80 percent. The homebuyer covers the remaining 10%, rather than putting the typical 20% down payment.
In a "carry back" situation, the seller agrees to loan you a piece of his own equity to help you get your down payment money. You would borrow the largest portion of the purchase price from a traditional mortgage lending institution and borrow the remainder from the seller. Usually this kind of second mortgage will have a higher rate of interest.
No matter your strategy of putting together your down payment, the thrill of reaching the goal of owning your own home will be just as great!
