Maadi retains the ancient name of the town that once stood on much the same site as today's district, and which has now turned out to be a significant Predynastic archaeological site. However, building activity in the area has destroyed some archaeologically sensitive places.
There was a story that the name was given after the ferries that operated on the Nile side, carrying people across the Nile to the opposite side, hence the name Ma'adi "plural of the word Ma'adiya معدية, which is Arabic for ferry".
Maadi traces its modern history to 1904 when the railway between Cairo and Helwan was built. This in combination with land speculation by the Mosseri cousins gave rise to a new town. Construction was originally limited to the area right near the railway, but eventually spread down to the river Nile. Also, a large army camp was built east of the railway.
The town planning was done in 1905 by a retired Canadian officer Captain Alexander J. Adams. His vision led to the wide boulevards and large villas still seen in Maadi today. There were very strict rules associated with residential development in Maadi with regards to the size of houses, how much of the property could be occupied by the house and how much had to be left for the garden, and the size of the sidewalks. Even window shutters had prescribed colours.
Other regulations included radio noise control after 22:00 and fines for not maintaining gardens properly.[1]
An example of British colonial life in Maadi may be found in The house at Maadi, a short story by Gerald Bullett from his collection The street of the eye (1923).[2]
During the period between 1940 and 1946, Maadi had an important role in the Military history of New Zealand during World War II; around 76,000 members of the First Echelon, 2 NZEF (Second New Zealand Expeditionary Force) main body trained at a camp near Maadi at the base of the desert slopes of Wadi Degla and Tel al-Maadi. During that time this area belonged to the Delta Land Company which created Maadi in 1907. The rocky plateau was leased to the New Zealand Forces, and for the next six years became New Zealand's main overseas base.
A British interrogation centre was also located in Maadi. In July 1942, at the height of the Western Desert Campaign, two German radio operators revealed under questioning that they had been using a copy of Daphne du Maurier's Rebecca, found among their possessions, as a codebook. Their equipment, stored on a houseboat on the River Nile, had been examined by a young signals officer from the Egyptian army, future president Anwar Sadat.[1]
The Maadi Grand Mall
The oldest area in Maadi is El Sarayat, composed mostly of villas and lowrise buildings. It is the most affluent part of Maadi along with the adjacent Degla area. These two areas are recognizable by the high number of roundabouts, quiet atmosphere and greenery.
There are many flats in Maadi, most in lowrise buildings. There are several highrises along the Corniche by the river, as well as in the newer, eastern part of Maadi, known as Degla.
Maadi lies on the river Nile about 12 km upstream from downtown Cairo, on the east bank. The river is parallelled by the Corniche, a waterfront promenade of the kind found in many Egyptian locations. The main road into Cairo follows the Corniche. There is no bridge across the Nile at Maadi; the nearest one is Mounib towards central Cairo.
Maadi is the least densely populated district in Greater Cairo, and much of it is inhabited by well-to-do Egyptians, as well as expatriates,[1] many of whom are connected with embassies, ambassadorial residences and international corporations located in Maadi. In particular, the Peruvian, Mexican, Japanese, Mongolian and Argentinian embassies, among others, are located in Maadi. The Cairo office for the USAID is also located in Maadi.
Many streets in Maadi continue to have speed bumps as a traffic calming measure.[1]
In some parts of Maadi, most notably the buildings around Cairo American College, there is virtually no traffic noise. The abundant greenery bears little resemblance to most of the crowded areas seen in urban Cairo, and belies Maadi's desert location.
This section requires expansion. (February 2012)
Taisei Corporation has its North Africa office in Maadi.[3]
Maadi is served by the Cairo Metro's Line 1, which has now taken over the Cairo-to-Helwan railway. There are three stops in Maadi (Hadayek El Maadi, Maadi and Thakanat El Maadi). Further metro construction in Maadi is foreseen, but nothing is beyond the proposal stage as yet.
Egyptian National Railways also operates a line through Maadi, but it is strictly a freight line. There is no longer any passenger service; the station is closed.
Services in Maadi are geared to a great extent to serve its expatriate population. In addition to numerous western restaurants, there are many churches, and a synagogue. The most popular places for westerners to shop at "local" stores is along Road 9. There are also newspapers and magazines catering to this very large sector of Maadi's population. The Maadi Sporting Club has served the local community since 1921. Maadi is also a popular place to study Arabic or take Arabic Courses. Also in Maadi there is large library called Maadi Library.
The expatriate community stages, and is entertained by, amateur theatre performances in English.[1] The new Egyptian Geological Museum is located in Maadi.
During World War II members of the 2nd NZEF based at Maadi Camp in Egypt competed in regattas on the Nile against local Egyptian rowing clubs. At a regatta held on 20 November 1943 the Maadi Camp Rowing Club "Kiwi" oarsmen beat the Cairo River Club by 11 points to six to win the Freyberg Cup, which they then gifted to the competitors. In return, as a token of friendship, Youssef Bahgat presented the Kiwis with a cup.
Youssef Bahgat's cup was offered to the NZARA (now NZRA) as a trophy for an annual boys' eight-oared race between secondary schools and was brought to New Zealand at the end of the war. Renamed the Maadi Cup it was first raced for in 1947 at Wanganui where it was won by Mt Albert Grammar. The Maadi Cup gained its native timber pyramid shaped base from Mt Albert Grammar's woodwork master, Jack Jenkin, in 1951.
Currently, Victory College is the home of a Men's and Women's softball league as well as a Men's Rugby league. This allows the expatriate population to come together as a community.

Air District Balks at Capping Refinery Emissions as Pollution Worsens
by Jean Tepperman
Richmond's Chevron refinery.
Bay Area regulators plan to reduce harmful emissions from oil refineries, so they should start by not letting emissions increase — that's been the demand of the Refinery Action Collaborative, a coalition of community and labor groups, since 2013, when the Bay Area Air Quality Management District started working on oil refinery rules.
But earlier this week, air district staffers presented yet another draft of proposed refinery rules that still had no data on possible emissions caps. "We were supposed to get a presentation on numeric caps. That was mandated June 3," said air district director John Avalos, a San Francisco supervisor. "It didn't happen."
Instead, in their presentation to the board's stationary source committee, staffers outlined a new set of steps for reducing emissions, with reports and proposals going back and forth between the refineries and air district for a number of years. The staffers said they were on track to meet a goal set by the air district board last year: a 20 percent reduction in the emission of certain chemicals and in health risks by 2020.
But boardmembers Jan Pepper, mayor of Los Altos, and John Gioia, Contra Costa supervisor, expressed concern about the lengthy process presented by staff. Pepper pointed out that it could take five years or more to get any actual cuts in emissions. "Our goal is to get reductions as soon as possible," Gioia said. He suggested that staffers "focus on quicker timelines when you report to the full board." In the June meeting, Gioia had commented, "We don't want to see emissions go up while we're making rules."
But that's exactly what's happening, said Charlie Davidson of the Sunflower Alliance. He pointed out that emissions of some of the most harmful pollutants have continually increased over the past decade. Despite this, the air district recently approved permits for projects at three refineries — Chevron, Valero, and Phillips 66 — that would enable them to process oil from Canadian tar sands and other super-dirty crude. Processing such crude, Davidson said, would lead to higher emissions of the pollutants that are already increasing. Chevron and Phillips 66 deny that their projects will involve a change in the crude oil they refine.
John Avalos.
Environmentalists insist, however, that it's urgent to cap emissions at the current level to stop these projects. "What's really going on," said Greg Karras, senior scientist at Communities for a Better Environment (CBE), in an interview after the meeting, "is that the refineries want tar sands oil and the air district is fronting for them," by delaying regulation until the new projects are up and running.
To prevent this, Steve Nadel of the Sunflower Alliance asked air district directors, "Why not include our request for a cap on current emissions levels while we're planning reductions?"
Since air district staffers did not provide the requested data on possible emissions caps, Communities for a Better Environment submitted its own technical proposal, listing caps on health-harming chemicals and greenhouse gases for each refinery, based on current emissions levels. Capping emissions at current levels, said Karras, "is a no-cost measure that could be implemented upon adoption." Since the air district' staffers have said it will take a while to develop a plan for evaluating changes in crude oil, CBE also proposed a moratorium on these changes until the air district develops its rules.
In response, Jack Broadbent, the air district's executive director, said, "Legally, we would have difficulty" capping emissions. Director Pepper requested that the staffers' next report include "more clarity on why you think caps are a legal issue." As for a moratorium on crude oil changes, Broadbent said, "I don't believe we can do this legally."
The air district, however, has already changed its draft rules significantly, adopting many proposals from the Refinery Action Collaborative: a plan to regulate refinery emissions, not just measure them, as originally intended; a requirement that refineries apply for permits when they want to change the type of crude oil they refine; dropping a plan that would have allowed emissions to increase if a refinery increased its production; a decision to include greenhouse gases among the pollutants to be regulated; and the twenty percent cap on emissions. "This rule has gotten better because of the public advocacy," Gioia commented.
While environmental and community groups demanded quicker, stronger action, refinery representatives argued that the staffers' proposed rules were too harsh and too costly. Kathy Wheeler, an engineer at Shell, said "Bay Area refineries [already] have firm emissions limits. They are the best controlled in the world. These rules would threaten our ability to compete." Kevin Buchanan of Western States Petroleum Association objected that the composition of a refinery's crude oil is "competitively sensitive information."
Within the conflict on whether to cap emissions at current levels, Monday's meeting continued the debate about capping greenhouse gases in particular. Staffers cited California Air Resources Board (CARB) executive Richard Corey's opinion that capping greenhouse gases in one part of California would only cause them to increase elsewhere in the state, because of the state's cap-and-trade system. Both CARB and the local air district staffers say caps on greenhouse gases should be left up to the state.
"That assumes no one else is working on this," responded Richmond resident Rebecca Auerbach. Anne Donjacour of 350 Bay Area added, "We're pressing all over the state. That's more effective than the passing-the-buck approach."
Broadbent said staffers are convinced that capping greenhouse gas emissions is a bad idea, but to address this ongoing controversy he will create a panel of scientists to study the issue. Meanwhile, the idea of capping greenhouse gas emissions seemed to receive little support from the board. "We all want to see greenhouse gases decrease," Gioia said, "But our focus is on local health impacts."

The 2011 Kisscross season ended on Sunday in true Belgian cyclocross style. For the first time this season we had some nasty adverse conditions. There was rain, wind, cold and mud. More mud than we have had this entire season and I for one was looking forward to it. I think everyone was getting a little too comfortable with the mild weather at most of the races this year. The mostly flat stadium course was set up nicely with a couple tough stair sections, a couple off camber sections and one section where the mud was so deep you were forced to dismount your bike and run for a while until you reached the pavement again. This was my first cross race without barriers but the conditions were so tricky that I didn't even realize they weren't there. Earlier in the week there was some smack talking going on between Captain Rick and Kim Thomas of the Fusion team. So I guess it was settled that the team with the best overall finishers would be receiving free beer from the losers. Founders racers came out in droves to back up Rick's smack talking, and we laid the smack down on a tough Fusion team. Founders racers are not used to actually buying their own post race beers so we sure as hell were not going to buy beer for anybody else.
Another awesome course, another awesome season. See you in March at the Barry Roubaix!
Out of town for work trip, I am always curious to see the brews that can be found in other locations. Interestingly, I found Mad Anthony IPA while in southern Indiana.
Why is that interesting? Perhaps more so to me because this coming weekend is the Mad Anthony cyclocross race in old Fort Detroit. The race, the beer and Fort Wayne Indiana are all named after "Mad" Anthony Wayne, a Revolutionary War general who mostly led American troops against British forces in the midwest during our war for independence.
The Mad Anthony IPA is brewed in Fort Wayne Indiana at the Mad Anthony Brewing Company (www.madbrew.com). A review of the Mad Anthony website will not show this beer available. It was one of a rotating group of flavors brewed and bottled. I found the brew to actually not be what I expected as an IPA (India Pale Ale). For those who are familiar with Founder's IPA and even Bell's Two-Hearted, the flavor of Mad Anthony IPA would be quite different.
In a clear glass, the color is not a deep golden color, but rather, it is a light gold color with a slight hint and tinge of red. There's a slight sour, but not unpleasantly so, aroma to the beer. There's also a slighty but quick sour taste but this is quickly followed by a more rye flavor. The Mad Anthony IPA is not the hoppy heavier style of IPA, but presents a bit of a red's rye tinge of flavor creating a different IPA experience.

I'm quite positive the team could not have asked for a better 22nd annual Iceman Cometh! The weather, the race conditions, the after-race party and the hurt on Sunday (interestingly not from racing…) all came together for one of the best race weekends I've ever had.
It all started out with a great team dinner the night before at the Jolly Pumpkin. It gave everyone the chance to fill up on food and exchange strategies and wave times. I'm not trying to toot my own horn, but I think that was probably Jeff and I's first podium of the weekend after each putting down the rib and fish special. And what do you do about the eve of the race nerves while trying to fall asleep? Leave it to Shawn to bring a 14% "lights out" beer that cured any sleeplessness that might have wanted to creep in.
Race day began with a hearty breakfast (though I was still full from the previous night's gluttony of food) and then a quick drive over to Kalkaska for the start. It was pretty chilly in the morning at just under 30, but the sun was creeping up slowly, which meant that along with some rising temps in the next couple hours the race clothing choice was an easy one. With about 15 minutes to go to start time Jeff Jacobi and I set out on our 3rd time together on his modified street/cross country Cannondale tandem to warm up before the start. Though we'd only spent about an hour together on the tandem (about 40 minutes of that in race conditions) I was confident that as the best bike handler I know, Jeff would keep us fast and safe. We pushed our way through the crowds to get to the starting line at the rear of the second wave and just as we were about to start, a coast guard helicopter went flying fast and lower overhead to buzz the starting line and at that mark, we were off!
Since Jeff and I were at the rear of the wave, we had some work to do as we tried to utilize our speed on the downhills and flats to march up to about the middle of the wave. Jeff had instructed me to save energy for after Williamsburg road (roughly the middle point) so we settled into a rhythm and I conserved as much as I could. After we reached Williamsburg road I was quietly disappointed to look down at my HRM and find the time about 7 minutes slower than I expected and I refrained from telling Jeff. It felt like we were flying, but the time seemed to be telling a different story. What I didn't know however, was that Williamsburg road was quite a bit over halfway. Thinking that we were behind pace and getting passed by what I presumed to be 3rd and 4th wavers I took that chanting fans' "Tandem! Tandem!" cries as we flew over Williamsburg as time to turn it up. I told Jeff that I had conserved and that we can go for it. We did! The next 50 minutes or so was the most exhilarating and scariest time I've ever had on a bike. I closed my eyes for about 6 downhills that I was sure I wasn't going to arrive at the bottom of in one piece, braced myself for more than a few tight corners not fit for a tandem and put out about as much effort as I ever have on hills where stronger riders on single bikes were struggling at walking up them.
Just as both Jeff and I had conceded to each other that neither of us have anything left in the tank we came up to the roaring crowds of the finish. We were there! But that was just a tease. The course brings you into Timberidge in front of crowds and then takes you back into the woods for one more grueling climb. We conquered every other hill without having to dismount the bike, but this last push was too much as we ground to a stop about halfway up and toppled over. No!! We scrambled to get upright as fast was we could and pushed the tandem to the top with everything we had and jumped right back on for the last minute to cross the finish. I looked again at my HRM and was astounded to see our time. Willamsburg had deceived me! Regardless of place, I was ecstatic to finish on a Tandem in 1:56:26 (though this did end up being the winning time in the tandem class!). It was an amazing experience and we wouldn't have made it without the precision handling of captain Jeff!
The rest of the day was a whirlwind of personal bests and podium finishes as team Founders Alger Racing put up when of the best race weekends that I know of. It seemed everyone had a great time celebrating. I know I had a great time and Saturday after dark is a bit of a blur as I somehow woke up on Sunday morning in my hotel room bed with a chipped tooth. I'm not sure how that happened, but at least I remember the most important parts of Iceman 2011!

Executive Fight Night IX
Fighting for the lives of children with serious illnesses
By Stephan Jarvis | Posted on April 26, 2019
"Hit with the left, follow through with the right," bellows the boxing coach. The punching bags in the gym are taking a pounding, sweat pouring down the trainee fighters' faces, their breathing getting deeper and more audible as they push their physical limits more and more. They are not prizefighters gearing up for a title fight, however. They are real people, local professionals working in varying industries such as law, IT, finance, to name a few, who have undertaken the challenge of an intense training program in order to step into the ring and raise money for a good cause.

Some of the fighters taking part in Executive Fight Night IX
Now in its ninth year, the hugely popular Executive Fight Night — managed by the charity organization Shine On! Kids (SOK) in collaboration with Club 360 and Empire Entertainment — sees two teams of fighters going toe-to-toe in the glitzy and glamorous ballroom of Grand Hyatt Tokyo, cheered on by spectators who are there to enjoy an evening of excitement and fine food supplied by the hotel's top chefs.
The event is not just for the entertainment value of watching amateur boxers slogging it out, though that is obviously very much part of the appeal, especially if one of them happens to be your boss. The main beneficiaries will be the thousands of children across Japan who have to undergo painful operations and treatment for serious illnesses such as cancer. "The metaphor of the fighters in the ring representing our kids fighting through their personal treatments is powerful," says SOK co-founder Kimberly Forsythe-Ferris. "Everyone in life has to fight at one time or another. The battles are different, but as humans, we all have challenges we have to overcome." The funds raised from EFN will help improve and expand the organization's Hospital Facility Dog Program. Together with their professional nurse-handlers, the dogs, trained for over 18 months to work in a hospital environment, give courage to reluctant children, accompany patients during medical procedures, and of course give lots of hugs and smiles.
This year, over 50 potential fighters enrolled for the grueling 12 week schedule at Club 360, the Hiroo-based gym that facilitates the training. Only 18 of them would be selected for the final stages, whittled down over the initial weeks under the watchful eye of Club 360 owner Nathan Schmid and Head Combat Coach Brian McGrath, who is the current holder of the J-Network and WPMF Japan Light Heavyweight titles in kickboxing. They were looking out for individuals who didn't necessarily have boxing skills, but showed a will to succeed in order to make it through such an intense and physically demanding training camp. And there has been no shortage of that this time around. "The most difficult thing this year, actually, is getting everyone to slow down and not punch their training partners too hard," says McGrath. "Everyone is very athletic and competitive."
The lineup is an international affair, with five Brits, four Americans, three Japanese, two Australians, a Kiwi, a Canadian, an Israeli and a Papua New Guinean making the final cut, and all the fighters are fully focused on the bigger fight — their own personal glory being second to what they hope they can achieve via donations. "I wanted to see if I could challenge myself to do more and thought if I participated, I could raise more money," explained EFN fighter Vinh Tran. The American national wrestled in his high school days but this will be his first time stepping into a ring in front of a live audience, as it will be for a majority of the fighters involved. Like Tran, several participants have had some fighting experience, but for a few they have trodden this particular path before. Derek Simmons, also from the USA, took part in EFN V, but doesn't feel his previous experience gives him a particular edge. "Despite my coaches' best efforts, I can't really box. But I can definitely punch, so I'll stick to doing that on the big night."
This year the audience has an opportunity to have a more interactive experience via a smartphone app that will enable users to view bouts, place "bets" (donations), keep track of winnings and earn bonuses for themselves and their table. The biggest winners on the night however will be the kids, who can hope for a better future thanks to the efforts, win or lose, of the dedicated individuals fighting their corner.
Executive Fight Night will be held at Grand Hyatt Tokyo on May 31. Dress code is evening/cocktail dress or black tie. To book tickets, and/or pledge a fighter, please visit www.executivefightnight.com for more details.

The Acquisio Trading Desk (ATD) is a section of Acquisio run by a team of display advertising experts who consistently produce incredible results for our clients. The uniquely catered strategies target relevant audiences, generating as many conversions as possible and maximizing ROI. But how, you may ask, does ATD deliver these highly targeted display and video messaging to the right users?
Location data is a mysterious beast. Every advertiser and marketer has heard of it, but the intricacy of how it works may not be so obvious. With location data, we can show the right people the right ads wherever they are in real time. This technique, called geofencing, can produce incredible results for mobile advertisers.
But what exactly is geofencing? Think of it like an invisible fence going up around a location of your choice, welcoming certain people into your world and excluding those who are not the right fit. The fencing makes it easier to collect the data coming from inside the geo-fence.
You can set up these geo-fences to work through mobile, tablet and even desktop devices anywhere in the world. They can be created according to place name, category, chain, postal code, city, state, and DMA. Consumers can be targeted when they are around a single location, by the business category, or even by all the brand locations out there.
This type of data is invaluable to advertisers and marketers eager to get a better look at what their potential clients are doing as they wander around the real world.
Through partnering technology, ATD is able to deliver accurate location data surrounding 65 million businesses mapped in over 50 countries. By targeting longitude and latitude coordinates to the fifth decimal place, and filtering out any data that doesn't stack up, advertisers get only the most accurate results.
In ATD, geofencing is broken up into two main categories: real time proximity and audience (past location).
Simply put, proximity gives you an accurate understanding of where the users are located right now, in real time. This means advertisers get to enjoy much more sophisticated targeting (including setting target locations at the Ad Group level), simpler campaign planning, and the chance to implement geofencing at RTB (real-time bidding) scale.
Audience gathers mobile location data from a user's app information to understand what businesses they have visited in the past. With this information, advertisers can target users where they've been before, including custom locations people visited anywhere from 1 to 12 months ago.
Now that you know how geofencing works, you might be thinking, is it possible to put up a fence around my competition's locations and poach their clients? It certainly is, and it can produce extraordinary results for acute advertisers.
The ingenious technique of competitive conquesting uses real time proximity and audience past location to find out where your ideal clients are congregating. If you find out they've been spending an awful lot of time with your competitor, competitive conquesting may very well be the solution you've been waiting for.
The custom audience segments can be set up based on targeting parameters like your competitor's locations, how often the users are visiting and when, the nearby area, and more. You can then set up your invisible fencing using these parameters and start luring those users back to your business step by step.
As users start entering the geofence using their location-enabled apps and mobile devices, precise latitude and longitude coordinates are generated, allowing ATD to connect with them in real time with highly targeted ads. To keep you on their mind, ads can also reach users after they've left the fenced area using past location and leveraging user's cookies.
Location data is an incredibly powerful tool that advertisers and marketers have in their back pocket. However, it is still a fairly young opportunity that relies on massive amounts of data to be fruitful. Right now, only about 30% of user coordinates in mobile ad tech can be used for effective targeting. There is huge growth in this sector, and it will only get more ubiquitous as time goes on.
Erroneous coordinates can cause problems – like a human developer confusing latitude and longitude, or decimal points getting cut short on coordinates (to the fifth point is very accurate, to the fourth is less accurate but close, to the third can be up to 100 meters off, to the second can be up to 1000 meters off, and only one decimal point can be in a whole other city altogether (10 000 meters off)!
While the location data industry overcomes its growing pains, important players are stepping up to help clean out the accumulation of invalid data. While this is going on, ATD is leveraging cutting edge technology with the most reputable data providers, meaning we can offer location targeting with extreme precision and utmost accuracy. These efforts are allowing advertisers to take advantage of only the best data to target ads more effectively.
Goal of the Campaign: To increase brand awareness of their Hospital Clinics and encourage users go visit this Hospital instead of seeking treatment elsewhere.
Even though data discrepancies are still being ironed out, geofencing and competitive conquesting are effective techniques in display advertising. From increasing clicks to converting customers, businesses are already reaping the benefits. The ability to cast a net around a location and create an audience from it is an essential bridge between the online and in-store experience and another major step forward in the evolution of effective display marketing.
With nearly a decade of experience in marketing, Sandra has spent the last seven years focused on digital marketing, including email marketing, data management, SEM, affiliate marketing and more. Having worked at Cyrpa Media and Binbit International, Sandra is now the Operations Manager with the Acquisio Trading Desk.

As a property developer you know it is so important to have the right funding in place to suit a project. The finance is the most important and critical part of any development but it is often overlooked. Incorrect funding for a project can seriously damage the viability of a project, causing delays by not having the drawdowns when required. 1st Business Finance have been arranging development finance for all types of clientele, both the new developer and the long established development company. We have been arranging development finance for many years and have gained a reputation for being able to find the right finance for any development. We have arranged funding for both single properties and projects of over 100 units.
At 1st Business Finance we both know and understand how development finance works and we are able to help prepare the necessary application and make sure that all options have been considered. We look to find the most suitable finance at the right price and ensure there is sufficient funding for the whole project. We will guide you through the whole process. We will help you prepare a development appraisal as this is what a lender will base their lending against to be sure the project is viable.
The development market is current slight with certain lenders only considering projects over £500,000 but more often £1,000,000 and these lender will offer rate from circa 6.5%. For the small projects we have the bridging lenders who lend on these at rate from 1% per month. If we look at the first option the lenders will lend a percentage of the Gross Development Value (GDV) of the project and will lend between 60% to 65% of the value and from between 75% to 90% of all costs and will include the roll up of interest which means interest is not payable during the build and only payable at the end when the properties are sold. On the smaller deals lender will look at lending between 65% to 70% of the land value and 100% of the build costs and the rate will be from circa 1% per month again with roll up of interest. Sometimes on certain development we can gain upto 100% of the funding by using specialised lenders who will use Mezzanine Finance and will look for a share of the profits on the deal. This will work of some deal but not on all and often depends on the project and the area.
Lenders look for developers with experience and a good track record and for the less experienced they look for the team around him to have the right experience either a good developer or good architect who will help control the development. When a development is built and finished we can then raise finance against the development as a Development Exit Loan which enable a developer to purchase another site and start the whole process again while the developed properties are sold and the current terms for this are upto 75% of the finished value / sale prices at a rate of 0.75%. This is a useful way so lend can keep developing and are not held up while all the houses are sold. For those developers that wish to keep all or some of the development as an investment we are able to arrange a Buy to Let mortgage or a But to Let investment mortgage for a number of them. We find developers like this as by keeping some it builds up an investment portfolio and for their pension planning.

Cost to do an energy audit varies greatly by region (and even by zip code).	Get free estimates from energy efficiency consultants in your city.
Cost to do an energy audit varies greatly by region (and even by zip code).
Get free estimates from energy efficiency consultants in your city.
The average cost of an energy audit is $150.
How much does it cost to do an energy audit?
An energy audit is an examination designed to identify any ways your house may be losing energy, and the corresponding solutions. It's also sometimes referred to as an "energy assessment" or "energy study". By having an energy audit done, you can get a full picture of your home's energy efficiency problems and learn about problem areas you never even suspected. You'll receive professional advice on how to best improve your home's energy efficiency. Making suggested changes after an energy audit can save you as much as 5%-30% annually.
This cost guide breaks down the basic facts of home energy audits, as well as their average cost. There are a variety of factors that influence the total cost of audits, including audit extent, service add-ons, and government incentives and rebates. For a one-story 1200 sq.ft. home, the average energy audit costs about $150.
Blower door test: blower door tests are designed to check the air-tightness of your home and identify any leaks. They manipulate air pressure indoors, drawing air through unsealed cracks and openings. This is done by mounting a large fan onto your home's front door. A blower door test should be a part of even the most basic energy audit.
Infrared imaging: infrared imaging equipment is used to show where heat is escaping and cold air is entering. Repairing problem areas identified through infrared imaging can lead to 20% savings in heating costs.
Room-by-room examination: auditors should typically walk through each room of your home and conduct a thorough visual inspection of the windows, appliances, and if possible, the insulation.
Utility bill examination: all of your utility bills from the past year can be analyzed by your auditor to determine if you're paying too much to heat or cool your home. This is typically done by comparing your utility costs to the average costs paid by homeowners in your area.
Some audits will also include photos of problem areas identified by your auditor, total cost estimates of suggested improvements, and total energy savings estimates. The general rule is that the more extensive your audit is, the more expensive it will be. Moderate to extensive audits cost between $0.12 and $0.50 per sq.ft. ($144-$600 for a one-story 1200 sq.ft. home).
Industry experts recommend that whatever the extent of your energy audit, it shouldn't be any higher than 10% of your annual energy bill.
Initial review: reviewing your annual energy bills, as well as comparing your costs and efficiency to that of similar homes.
Site assessment: interview you and walk through the home, conducting a physical inspection and collecting relevant data.
Energy and cost assessment: compare data from your utility bills to the data gathered from the physical inspection. Use that information to estimate improvements and savings.
Report and recommendation: give you a summary of the audit findings and show you problem areas. Make recommendations for energy saving measures.
About 7-10 business days after your audit, you should receive a detailed report summarizing what methods the auditor used to evaluate your home's efficiency, and their findings. Identified problems will be listed, such as leakage points, as well as corresponding solutions. Your auditor's report should specify what should be fixed in what order, and it should specify your estimated energy and cost savings.
Auditors, also known as "home performance contractors", are the professionals who will be conducting your home energy audit. Since their time and labor is almost always included in the price of the audit itself, you won't have to pay additional or separate labor fees.
Home energy audits usually last 2-3 hours. More extensive audits can take 3-4 hours. When you first contact your chosen auditor, expect there to be 1-2 weeks before they can come to your home to perform the audit.
Most energy audits will result in the discovery of at least a few energy efficiency issues. Typical problems checked for and uncovered during home energy audits are listed below.
Air leaks: it's estimated that the average homeowner wastes as much as $350 in utility costs due to air leaks.
Inadequate insulation: most homes lack enough insulation to keep them energy efficient. It's not uncommon for an auditor to discover that a home is completely missing insulation in certain sections.
Wasteful lighting: having old bulbs, light fixtures, and wiring can be a major source of energy consumption in a home.
Inefficient appliances and heating or cooling equipment: equipment that's old, has a low energy rating, or just isn't right for your home type and climate can consume far more energy than necessary.
At the end of your energy audit, be sure to thoroughly discuss all of the suggestions made by your auditor. Don't be afraid to ask questions and ask for an explanation if you don't understand something. Understanding the problems and solutions is absolutely necessary in order to successfully manage the steps that come after an audit.
Establish what the priorities are. It's best to start with the quick fixes. You should immediately make any possible adjustments to your home's equipment and appliances (install thermostat controls, lower settings, add timers, etc.). This will lower your bills right away.
Hiring a handyman to perform basic air-tightening tasks like caulking 1 3 and weatherstripping can save you as much as $150 per year, and only costs around $100. Do this as soon as possible, since it's a fast, easy job with a quick payoff.
Larger installations, like window replacement (average $580 per window), can typically wait a few weeks or a couple of months, unless there are major breaks and leaks.
The PFT is a long-term test designed to measure the air-tightness of your home, and is often recommended as a supplementary upgrade to the blower door test. Your auditor will install an emitter and receiver inside your house. This equipment will emit a trace of 100% safe, non-toxic gas, then later absorb it to measure how much of the gas leaked out of your home over time. This test can give a more advanced assessment of your home's air-tightness, as well as your home's air pollutants.
PFTs are typically only included in extensive audit packages, which cost over 315% more than average audits.
Preparation: you will need to do some minimal preparation before your energy auditor arrives for the inspection. Make a list of any energy problems you've noticed in the summer and winter, such as drafts or excessively high energy usage. Have copies of your yearly energy bills on hand so that they are ready to be examined by the auditor.
Finding an auditor: you may have already noticed many advertisements for energy audits in your local newspapers, on shop bulletin boards, or mail flyers. However, you shouldn't assume that every advertised service meets professional standards. In fact, many don't. Before choosing an auditor, verify that they are certified by the Building Performance Institute, Inc. You can use the BPI's online search tool to check whether or not an auditor is BPI certified.
Adjustments and fixes: some recommendations made by your auditor can be quick and easy fixes, while others may be extensive projects. Common adjustments and fixes are listed below.
Converting to LED or fluorescent lighting can lead to 25%-80% in energy savings.
Replacing old and inefficient equipment and appliances with Energy-Star certified products will give you 30% in energy savings. Adjusting equipment by changing settings, adding timers, or even installing thermostat controls can result in 50% savings.
Installing new windows can significantly improve your home's efficiency. Storm windows 2 6 in particular are designed to provide energy savings of up to 33%. Storm windows 2 6 cost $275 each.
Replacing insulation is often a significant upgrade to a home's energy efficiency. Attic insulation projects start at $400 and can go over $1800.
Rebates: check with your local authorities if you are eligible for discounted or free home energy audits. These audits may not include all of the inspection tasks that standard audits do, such as blower door tests or infrared imaging.Many regional governments and organizations, such as that of Washington DC, offer rebates on upgrades made after an energy audit, which can add up to as much as $5000 for gas-heated homes, and $8000 for electrically-heated homes. There are separate rebates for different upgrades. Maximums may apply. Your energy provider may be able to provide you with a loan as high as $30,000 to cover energy efficiency upgrades.
DIY: you can perform a DIY energy audit. First, grab your last 12 months of utility bills and enter some basic information about your house into the ENERGY STAR Home Energy Yardstick tool. It will compare your home's energy efficiency to that of other homes like yours. This online tool also provides suggestions for improvements you can make.
Travel fees: iff you live outside of your chosen auditor's service area, you'll likely be charged a travel fee. Travel fees are completely dependent on the current price of gas, the specific distance between your home and the service area, and the auditor's discretion.
Air-sealing and ventilation: many homeowners worry that after air-sealing, their house might be too "tight" to breathe. This concern is based on the old misconception that some drafts and air leaks are necessary for a home to have healthy ventilation. In reality, there's nothing to worry about when your home is tightly sealed. An efficient home should be tightly sealed, and should have controlled ventilation installations. Relying on air leaks to provide your home's ventilation runs the risk of long-term damage, as well as uncontrollable energy waste.
A home energy audit is an examination of your home to determine where it may be losing energy. It may also be called an energy assessment or an energy study.
What is an energy survey?
An energy survey reviews how energy is being used in a building. This can be simple or detailed, and may be available in three types: investment, detailed, or walk-through.
How much does it cost to get an energy audit?
A typical energy audit costs around $150 for a 1200 sq.ft. home, although some companies may conduct an audit for free if you purchase their services.
What is an electrical energy audit?
An electrical energy audit is an examination of your home to find out why you may be losing energy.
Air sealing closes the gaps around your windows, doors, and other air leaks to help prevent energy loss and help you save money.
What do you mean by energy management?
Energy management refers to the process of using the least amount of energy necessary for your home.
How much does it cost to do an energy audit in my city?
Cost to do an energy audit varies greatly by region (and even by zip code). To get free estimates from local contractors, please indicate yours.
We have also added an image of the project, ain this case one of an energy audit, to help the user better understand the project.

House Music Series –International- Marie Joly – Offering Recordings – Gratitude's Debut
March 2, 2016 November 1, 2017 theshineprjct
Marie Joly had a lot to share about life lessons, humanity and love. Offering Recordings first lady's music is described as 'strongly perfumed with spiritual and conscious messages' What grabbed me was the album title…I have much to be grateful for. GRATITUDE. Simply titled.
Boddhi Satva declared Marie Joly as 'one to watch' 3 years ago during our interview. She was still in production mode when he first visited Toronto and I listened to minor releases until I saw a quick blurb online a few weeks ago that her album debuted on Traxsource at #16! What an entrance! She's not a stranger to the underground scene though…..this is just one of many projects she's been working on…we Skyped- me in Canada and she in France! Awesome convo….
Me: Marie-Joly thanks so much for this interview, I can't believe you've finally released some beautiful material after a few years under the radar. Congratulations on your success. Your single and titled album 'Gratitude' debuted at #16 on the Traxsource 'House' charts.
Me: How would you describe your music?
She: I would describe my music as harmonic, it goes deep, it could be House….if people dance to it maybe……its hard to classify the genre. It's healing music. I know I want to move people, emotionally and spiritually, like Boddhi!
She: I would call it 'Spirited House-it's a more natural sound' She says 'I try to be harmonic and soothe people, if I can make people dance that's ideal' I'm so proud of this album because even though they are unknown or locally known from (France/Scotland) they are flexible yet experienced artists. "I call it New Age; Funky"
Me: Why music? Tell us a little about yourself? How did you get into making music?
She: My favourite part…I played music from a young age. I was a classically trained musician, I studied ballet, I read music, I played the piano.
Instead of rigid music study she spent time studying improvisation (thinking outside the box). She had to practice Chopin but jazzed it up during practice. Her teacher wanted her to learn the Classics but she continued her musical studies in Jazz.
Me: You're a multi-talented person…. How long did it take to finalize this specific project?
She: From the time Boddhi suggested I get working on an album to when I handed the album in, it was about 3 years…. so naturally some stuff on the album is older. This album is a good synthesis of my production history. Some old and some new. I needed to create pieces that completed a story.
Me: What does/how do you roll-out your creative process?
She: 'My mind is always creating, I walk in nature, I hear melodies. I'm walking in the street (I hear melodies, I have lots of inspirations.) I can hear what's happening in my head, I even hear sounds with silence. You can process sounds and sort them out, it's kinda like musical meditation'.
Me: What comes first, writing or studio time? Are you a House producer?
She: I produce first, I lay down backing vocals first-it's a transformative process. It's spontaneous and in the moment. I go back to adjust and press record. It's like I'm telling a story. I write about how I feel when I'm looking at me. I'm not disassociating my personality but I look at it. (Be sure to have a listen to 'Lovin' You'.) It's one of those examples. I'm grateful for simple things in life, nature, music, friends and my life. I'm an avid vinyl collector too!"
Me: What's your favorite part of the creative process? What's your least favourite?
She: My favourite part is pulling together sound files, ideas and beats and sounds I've saved so many sound files so I can work fast and not waste any time while the creativity is showing up….My least favorite is bittersweet; working with the likes of Atjazz and Black Coffee the pressure is on to create solid output (superior sound.) So humbly she says 'you know these guys are tenured, you learn from them, it's humbling-they show you production tricks and knowledge and you're completely blown away….When I think too much in the studio I lose the thought and vibe so I like to be spontaneous. With that spontaneity you find that some producers are highly spiritual and they are definitely running on a very 'Deep' vibration when they make and play music.'
Me: So are you are a producer? (I hate job titles and labels but I had to ask.)
She: I don't take myself purely as a songwriter or producer. I speak from emotion-I write about emotion. I improvise like Oggun. (Known for his protective nature and his ability to spark ingenuity.)I layer tracks and sounds. It could be spontaneous or it could be here and now.
Me: For this album, did you work on any tracks with Boddhi?
She: NO (he's 100 supportive from the sidelines) I've got a few very close friends that call often to see how I'm doing and they are always checking in to see how smooth the production process is going. But how I met Boddhi was 'synchronicity'. She ties this in because it really was a chance meeting.
I was making music but I didn't know I could get into distribution. I ran into a producer for NHS Scotland and was commissioned to make a soundtrack for a documentary on Lenox Castle-a hospital. The filmmaker was asked me to do this for NHS National Health Scotland. (Sounds familiar with Jellybean's story huh?) I worked on it and eventually handed in a tape.' It's then that she realized music (her music) was a business! Fast forward to Winter Music Conference WMC 2007 she did plenty of promo in Miami right around the time he (Boddhi) released his first single on the Soul Heaven compilation. He encouraged her to work on something……this produced 'Lovin U.' (Oh la la…qu'est ce qui ce pass?) Boddhi played it EVERYWHERE-it was re-released and remixed by Louie Vega and it did VERY WELL! Boddhi recommended she work on an EP and album. Voila, here's the album!
During her formative musical years she moved to Scotland and resided there for some time-and it is in Scotland she says she 'listened to music differently.' She discovered their 'Underground' and slowly built her recording studio and also where she discovered turntables!
Me: Who would you like to mention from the Scottish House Underground or off the beaten path?
She: Aqua Bassino, Vashti Bunyan (brilliant folk singer/songwriter), Craig Smith & The Revenge (check 'em out.)
Me: Who are your musical influences? Who inspires you musically? 'Nick Holder I respect his musical craft.' A lot of the times though she says, 'It's not just the music that makes me enjoy their music-it's more than that' Her favourites, [Boddhi] with the ancestral movement/sound. She really likes J Dilla's production he helps explore her approach to music production. Other favourites: 4 Hero, Bilal, Vikter Duplaix. She lists so many more….
Me: Who would you love to work with?
She: Osunlade, Moodyman are on my list.
Me: What next for Marie Joly and Offering Recordings?
Marie Joly: Album #2 is 50% done but you never know…there are no collaborations. I'll work on it myself but if something presents itself I could end up working with anyone.
Her parting words…..Marie Joly <<<(she's on Twitter) believes that 'Even though we all try to live with our art, we all have the power and capacity to not only focus on the business side of music. 'It feels empty that way.' She promises that this album has more artists with more experience and you do feel it [the ethereal sounds] on Gratitude. You can purchase the album on iTunes.

Luka – Overstanding Remixes feat. Jaidene Veda (Album Review) for Bamalovesoul.com
August 23, 2013 February 26, 2018 theshineprjct
If you listeners can recall she brought singles Flo (2009), Do for Love (2010), Healing (2012) with Toronto DJ/Producer Victor Undergroundvibe (Soul Expansions) and now- sexy single 'Overstanding'. Her vocals ride the beat effortlessly and she enunciates each word for you to feel the melodies.
The chorus resonates:
I tried, I cried, I'd fight, but now I'm overstanding this town, overstanding this sound, overstanding all around, overstanding this, now I'm overstanding my ground
She uses her voice to capture overstanding's (Rasta) meaning beautifully.
Her vocals are neither overwhelming nor overstated. Less is definitely more here. Be sure to also check out the Overstanding remix by SIR LSG (sirlsg.com) & Anthony Nicholson (Miquifaye)
Enjoy this end of summer beauty. It's on repeat for me!

Dezaray Dawn – The Dawning Album Review for Bamalovesoul.com
August 23, 2013 January 2, 2018 theshineprjct
This album is perfect for lounging at the Martini bar with a cocktail. Can you see it? It's got the perfect Downtempo sound with substance and perfectly sweet. A cool 10 tracks with a proper bonus remix. There's something about 'Futuristic Soul' that sets a precedent for good quality music that will always be ahead of it's time! Each song is strikingly hypnotic….almost meditative.
Atlanta based 'army kid' import Dezaray
Dawn, has nailed a distinct sound and evokes thought by song rather than the usual listening 'journey' through the whole album. Each track can make strong standalone singles. Listen to single Over It. I first heard and still have Blue Six's Aquarian Angel (2007) on rotation and I believe Dezaray's The Dawning is taking its place.
The album is mellow with its intro title (The Dawning) and serves as an excellent entry into the world of Dezaray Dawn. This album challenges RnB artists to really push the envelope with sound rather than catchy, empty lyrics. The Dawning is a perfect mixture of Electronic and RnB music. Tracks to tantalize your ears: Da Day, Over It (2012), Chameleon (AppleJac's Sound of Mecca Remix). My personal favourite is Brand New– it has an awesome chorus and sound. If you love ambient with soul, this album is yours!
