Black Panther – Movie Review
February 21, 2018 Alan Ng	Leave a comment
Marvel Studios does a lot of things right. With the deep pockets of Disney to back them up, the gang at Marvel has perfected the art of world building. The country of Wakanda is big and beautiful. Admittedly, it took some doing to connect with the kingdom of T'chala, primarily because I'm a western boy with eastern roots and Africa somehow falls between the cracks of east and west. Immersing myself in Black Panther's world took some work, but was well worth it.
The other thing Marvel Studios does right is ground their superhero flicks into a relatable story. T'chala (Chadwick Boseman) is a prince thrust into leadership sooner than he hoped. To make matters worse, he is forced to correct the one lapse of judgment his father made, which spawned the origin of the film's villain, Killmonger (Michael B. Jordan). In some way, Killmonger is a ruthless villain, who is on the side of right.
If Disney ever had a "James Bond"-type franchise, they found it in Black Panther. He's a Wakandian spy who fancies Asian casinos. He has a "Q" in his sister, Shuri (Letitia Wright), a Felix (Martin Freeman), a sassy equal in Okoye (Danai Gurira) and is chasing the plans, the shipments, or whatever to save the world. The only difference is he's monogamous, frozen on the hard-to-get Nakia (Lupita Nyong'o).
The final joy of Black Panther is that it sits perfectly in the MCU and the future of Wakanda is about to open up in Avengers: Infinity War.
Writer/director Ryan Coogler admirably takes command of a Marvel movie and deserves his spot next to James Gunn, the Russo brothers and the other creatives responsible for a now well-rounded inclusive universe.
If there is a flaw in Black Panther, it's that T'chala most of the time takes a back seat to his amazing co-stars. T'chala is a low-key hero surrounded by a colorful cast.
Black Panther (2018) Written and directed by Ryan Coogler. Starring Chadwick Boseman, Michael B. Jordan, Lupita Nyong'o, Danai Gurira, Martin Freeman, Andy Serkis, Forest Whitaker and Angela Bassett.

I remained engaged in the journey of young Miguel to the end. A journey that ultimately forces him to choose between the safety of a tight-knit, loving family and the desire to follow his dream and passions.

Thor: Ragnarok – Movie Review – Film Threat
November 4, 2017 Alan Ng	Leave a comment
Third time's the charm. It's not that the first two Thor movies were bad. They were films that took themselves a little too seriously. Instead, Thor: Ragnarok finds our favorite Asgardian, Thor (Chris Hemsworth) exiled in the psychedelic, heavily-synthesized cosmos, made popular by the Guardians of the Galaxy.

Since the sisters have never celebrated Christmas together, Olaf and Swen decide to go into town and research the Christmas traditions of the townsfolk. The short will feature four new songs.
During the session, John Lassiter brings out Kristen Bell to talk about the short and show a clip. Halfway through the clip, the sound goes out and Josh Gad appears to sing Olaf's song live.
Lassiter also announces that Frozen 2 is in the works and that the original cast will be back and Frozen 2 will not be the final title. The final title will also not be "Thawed" or "Frozen Assets."
No story details were discussed, but we were shown footage of the animator's trip to Norway, Iceland, and Finland.

D23 Expo 2017 – Animation Session – Disneytoon Studios
D23 kicked off its Animation Session with an update on Disney's little-known animation studio, Disneytoon Studios. Disneytoon is known for producing Disney's direct to DVD Tinkerbell series and the underperforming Planes, starring Dane Cook.
Disney Chief Creative Officer John Lassister said that Disneytoon Studios is moving in a new direction. Animators have been researching the ever changing nature of planes and jet and presented a short film called "Speed Test." The short revealed a photo-realistic mountainous backdrop with jets. Think Cars and Top Gun. Nothing more was announced.

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales – Movie Review
May 30, 2017 Alan Ng	Leave a comment
Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) is back in Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales. He finds himself on a reluctant quest to find the Trident of Poseidon. His journey is complicated by his nemesis Captain Barbosa (Geoffrey Rush) and the ghostly Captain Salazar (Javier Bardem).
Writer: Jeff Nathanson
Director: Joachim Ranning, Espen Sandberg
Cast: Johnny Depp, Geoffrey Rush, Javier Bardem, Brenton Thwaites, Kaya Scodelario
Full Disclosure: I have only seen the first two Pirate movies. I am unaware the events up to Dead Men Tell No Tales.
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales suffers from too many plots and subplots. The movie really doesn't take off until the plots find convergence in the second half of the film. Let's go over the plots. First, Pirates opens on a young Henry Turner (Lewis McGowen) as he summons the cursed Flying Dutchman. This is the ship that is crewed by his cursed father, Will Turner (Orlando Bloom). Henry dedicated his future to finding the Trident of Poseidon, believing that this Trident that controls the seas can release his father from his curse.
Then there is Carina Smyth (Kaya Scodelario), who is accused of being a witch by the local townsfolk. Carina is not a witch, but a self-taught astronomer. She was abandoned as a child by her father leaving only a journal with a star chart to the Trident of Poseidon. As an astronomer, she is a woman of science and does not believe in ghosts and curses. She is also attractive and the same age as Henry Turner.
Jump ahead nine years and Henry Turner (Brenton Thwaites) jumps from ship to ship to find clues and a crew to take him to the Trident of Poseidon. While on a British Naval ship, the ship is overtaken by the ghostly shark-like ship helmed by the legendary Captain Salazar.
Captain Salazar was once a captain in the Spanish Navy. His goal in life was to destroy all pirates. He defeated them all, except one. That's right–Captain Jack Sparrow. Let me just say that Disney has been using CGI to bring a youthful version of their aging stars to life—Michael Douglas, Robert Downey, Jr., Kurt Rusell, Carrie Fisher and now Johnny Depp. The technology walks that fine line of cool and creepy. Back to Salazar, his ghostly goal in life is kill pirates and kill Captain Jack.
More subplots? Yes, Captain Barbosa has a treasure to find thanks to a mystical compass. Captain Jack on the other hand really has not a subplot, Ugh, too much going on. Fortunately, all the subplots and their exposition happen in the front half of the movie. It does feel labored but it's survivable.
Where Pirates shines is the second half. There's a lot of action. The battle between naval, pirate and ghost ships are well animated and easy to follow. Disney also does swashbuckling action as good as any studio can. It seems that pirates are actually interesting when they do pirate things.
There is one reveal in the film, that I can't say anything about, snuck up on me. This final subplot pulled me into the story of two characters, I thought would not connect until it happened.
The main problem that Pirates of the Caribbean suffers from is its own mythology. Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter had the luxury of a prolific author, who built the world and its mythology. Thought went into this mythology over the length of its run. The mythology was honed, refined and reflected human nature, so readers could relate to it.
Pirates of the Caribbean is a theme park ride. I don't believe Walt Disney ever had the world of the pirate in mind when creating the ride. He just wanted to tell a simple story. Finally, when the first Pirate movie came out, it was the first film to be based on Disney rides. My guess is that they just wanted the first film to be successful. The studio was not thinking it would be a five (maybe six) film series, so the world of Pirates is now created on the fly as new films are needed.
Why is this important? Audiences just don't have an emotional connection to the pirate world, like they do with The Hobbit or Harry Potter. We have no stake in the life path of Captain Jack Sparrow. This reduces the whole series into one action film after the other.
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales is light fare. It has amazing action sequences but suffers because there just is not enough time to develop any existing or new characters properly.

Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 2 – Movie Review
May 8, 2017 Alan Ng	Leave a comment
The Guardians of the Galaxy return to the big screen to prove they are more than just misfits prepared to save the galaxy. In Volume 2, the Guardians prove that they need to be a family to save the galaxy.
Writer: James Gunn
Director: James Gunn
Cast: Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Dave Bautista, Bradley Cooper, Vin Diesel, Michael Rooker, Kurt Russell, Karen Gillan, Elizabeth Debicki
Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 2 starts a few months after the events of the first film. Our brood of heroes, Star Lord (Chris Pratt), Gamora (Zoe Saldana), Drax (Dave Bautista), Rocket (Bradley Cooper) and Baby Groot (Vin Diesel) are hired as the Guardians to protect a power set of batteries from an inter-dimensional monster. The batteries power the race of conceited aliens known as the Sovereign.
As payment, the Guardians take custody of Gamora's sister Nebula (Karen Gillan), but as their leaving Rocket steals the very batteries that they were hired to protect. Here starts a series of plots and sub-plots, the main one being the meeting of Peter Quill's father played by Kurt Russell, who brings Peter, Gamora and Drax to his home planet. For comic book fans, this planet is Ego, the living planet. They also meet Mantis (Elizabeth Debicki), who serves Ego. She has empathic powers.
The other subplots include Yondu (Michael Rooker) and his gang of Ravagers. Yondu has been kicked out of the Ravagers because he betrayed the other clans in the first film. Yondu is then hired by the Sovereign to hunt down the Guardians and return the batteries, but Yondu also had a mutiny on his hands when one of his officers Tazer Face (Pom Klementieff) no longer believes Yondu can effectively act as leader.
While in custody, Nebula plots to get the upper hand on Gamora and ultimately kill her and then her father, Thanos. Rocket continues his own brand of self-destructive and self-loathing behavior and then there's Baby Groot, who wants to grow up and become a warrior, but he's only a baby.
There is a lot going on in Guardians of the Galaxy, Volume 2. You can already see there is literally a shipload of old and new characters. There are about four storylines going on at the same time. Writer/Director James Gunn masterfully manages to keep the storylines interesting and followable which could have easily unraveled at any point.
The main story between Quill and Ego is not the strongest of stories and unfortunately, it is the main spine of the movie. Their relationship feels more like a morality episode of Star Trek. It feels very over-and-done by the end of the movie.
As much as this is a large galactic action movie, the best moments in Guardians are the moments the main characters spend together. Clearly, there is a Sam-and-Diane relationship brewing between Quill and Gamora. So-much-so that Quill calls it out as a Cheers-inspired romance. Drax and Mantis have an opposite relationship, which will make your head spin. Maybe, the sisterly conflict between Gamora and Nebula feels a little forced.
The tone of Guardians of the Galaxy is light, a little gruesome and stands outside the seriousness of the Marvel Cinematic Universe on Earth. But this movie is funny and the rollercoaster of action you expect it to be. For a long movie, the pacing is fast and because it is packed with so much plot, characters and action, you leave wanting more. Finally, please stay to the end of the credits.

What if? I am sure I could say that about 50 times a day. What if I didn't stay up so late last night? What if I married my high school sweetheart instead of Mike? What if I didn't buy those ridiculously cute shoes sitting in my closet and instead invested the money? What if? What if? WHAT IF?
What if I was not infertile?
How would my life be different? How would FERTILITY have affected my life?
Now let's just take a step back and analyze MY life with infertility. Mike and I tried to get pregnant for 2 years before we decided to do IVF. We had 3 miscarriages, 7 failed Clomid cycles, 1 Femara cycle, 4 injectible cycles, and 3 failed IUI's. I do not claim to be the most infertile woman around, but that does not make our journey any easier. I quit my job, among other things, because of infertility. There were just to many appointments for me to keep a full time job. I devoted my life to trying to have a baby. I lived my life in two week increments. I was either waiting to ovulate or waiting to know if I was pregnant. I was always WAITING. I am sure this is an "Oh to familiar story" for all of my infertile readers though. I am sure you have all been-there-done-that.
What if that very first baby had stuck? What if I had a 4 year old today? Where would my life be?
The fact of the matter is that you can't always live in the What if's. I would probably be finishing my family right now with baby number 3 or 4. I would be joking with all of my friends and family about how Mike and I get pregnant if we even bump into each other in the hallway. I would be ignorant and would probably accidentally tell a friend that she would get pregnant if she would "just relax." I would still love my kids don't get me wrong, but would I really appreciate them for the miracle that they really were? I am not totally sure that I would.
I have the most adorable little boy, that I never would have met with out infertility.
I appreciate that little boy more because I remember the blood, sweat, and tear that went into getting him here.
I am a much more kind, compassionate, and understanding person than I ever would have been without infertility.
I am a better person because of infertility.
This is easy for me to say now that I can stare into my little boys eyes. However while I was in the middle of my infertility journey, it never seemed like a blessing to be infertile. Now that we are going through all of this again, it still doesn't seem like a blessing. Having a baby does NOT cure infertility. It does NOT make it all better, but it has at least made me more gracious for what I have.
"It's a Blessing and a Curse."
I am just looking forward to looking back.
Thank you for that post. It's awesome to hear that instead of focusing on the past, you are looking for the future and all the blessings in your life! Good luck with your journey and thank you for sharing your story on here. I love reading your updates and hearing where this journey is taking you.
Hey Aly, I don't have a button, but I will grab yours in hopes that you become a follower of my blog and add me to your "Entourage" on the right hand side of your blog!
Great post, by they way!
I really enjoyed that post. I haven't yet got to the looking in my babies eyes but I do know that I will treasure each day I have with my children because I know how hard we worked to get there. Looking back will be such bliss!
Wonderful post! I don't think we'll ever be rid of infertility, even if we have the children we seek. It will always be a part of us.
What an inspiring and uplifting post. Thank you for sharing it.
It is great to see you appreciate how fortunate you are to have been successful in your IF journey. I know it isn't over yet, but I'm wishing you nothing but the best!
I love this post. It's hard not to live in the what ifs. congratulations on your little boy, and warm wishes to you on continuing your family!
Great post. This is my first time visiting your blog. Congratulations on your little boy!

Taking a Flight to the Abaco Islands During Sea Turtle Nesting Season – Here's What to Know
Friday, 31 August 2018 by Air Unlimited
Sea turtle nesting season goes through the end of October, so travelers booking an upcoming flight to the Abaco Islands should know what to do if they encounter a nest during their trip. With sea turtles officially listed as an endangered species, it's critical that they are treated with caution by locals and tourists alike. Air Unlimited can share with you what you need to know about these spectacular creatures and how you can help protect them, not only during nesting season but year-round.
While visiting the Abaco Islands, you may choose to go snorkeling in the tropical reefs, where you may spot a sea turtle enjoying the clear waters of the Bahamas. As exciting as it is to swim alongside a sea turtle, refrain from touching them or interfering with their habitat. Instead, take in this amazing experience from a distance and keep an eye out for their paddle-shaped flippers, large shells and marked colorings, which are unique to each sea turtle species.
When strolling along the sandy beaches during nesting season, there is the chance of coming across sea turtle eggs. Touching the eggs could be harmful to the turtles, so stay back from the nest to avoid accidentally disrupting it. If you see the mother nearby, stand still and allow her to travel easily around her nest. At nighttime, any artificial light, such as a phone, camera or flashlight could confuse the turtles from following the natural moonlighting, so be prepared to embrace the dark around a nesting space. If you have the once-in-a-lifetime experience to encounter the eggs while they are hatching, walk carefully in the sand to avoid stepping on the baby turtles, as they journey toward the sea. These tiny turtles will be working their way to the waves, where they can take their very first swim.
We hope you have the opportunity to see these beautiful creatures during your next trip to the islands. Not only are they majestic, but they are also vital to the health of the oceans. Sea turtles graze on seagrass and jellyfish populations, control sponge distribution and transport nutrients across the water.
Whether its nesting season or not, taking a flight to the Abaco Islands is the first step toward your chance of enjoying these wild animals, and Air Unlimited is here to get you there! Book your flight today either online or by calling us at (407) 585-4300.

Earn Your Pilot Wings on a Memorable Flight to the Abacos
Wednesday, 22 August 2018 by Air Unlimited
Whether it's piloting a short flight to the Abacos or leading an aircrew on a long-distance journey, all pilots have had to earn their 'wings.' Wings are a recognized badge in the aviation industry that pilots proudly wear on their uniforms. This emblem has an interesting history and is designed for everything from representing a pilot's license to serving as a charming memento!
The crew at Air Unlimited knows how special it feels to earn a pair of pilot wings, as many of our team members started their fascination for aviation as a child, dreaming of the day they'd earn their own badge. Now, this day can come sooner for youth that feels passionate about flying, thanks to our Junior Pilot Program. Through this program, families can register their kids to have the rare chance to sit in the cockpit with the pilot during their flight to the Abaco Islands and experience spectacular views from the front of the plane, all while learning about the wonders of air travel. Afterward, children co-pilots receive a certificate with a commemorative photo, a souvenir, and their very own pilot wings.
The meaning of pilot wings goes back to the early 1900s when one of the first commercial airlines started scheduling passenger services, making crew uniforms come into fashion. As part of their uniform, pilots started wearing shiny, specialty wings to showcase their qualifications. Around the same time, military aviation became prominent during World War I, and soldiers started earning their wings based on their flight experience, rank, and accomplishments. In both commercial and military aviation, the design of a pilot's wings distinguished their seniority or merit, thus changing in color, material, embellishments, and patterns based on its intended purpose. To this day, earning wings is a significant and exciting moment for any pilot, considering the hours of hard work, schooling, in-flight training and experience required to receive this token of achievement.
Knowing the valued history and meaning behind pilot wings, we want to share this special keepsake with young passengers and inspire their love for aviation through the Junior Pilot Program. Register children for this unique experience for just $50, and you can enjoy an unforgettable flight to the Abaco Islands. Interested parties should call our team directly at (407) 585-4300.

National Aviation Day: From History's First Flight to Today's Luxury Aircraft Charters
We've come a long way since the first airplane was flown in 1903. Today, we have everything from large commuter planes and first-class aircraft charters to powerful air force jets – all safer, faster and sleeker than ever before. To celebrate this remarkable progress in aviation, we're observing National Aviation Day on August 19th.
Why August 19th? It's the birthday of Orville Wright, one of the Wright brothers who invented and flew the first airplane. From his original flight owning the sky, we now have more than 9,700 planes and 1 million people in the sky at any given time, according to flight tracking service, FlightAware. That's a lot of air travel each day!
To celebrate National Aviation Day, Air Unlimited wants you to consider taking a journey into the past, present, and future of air travel. Below, are some of our tips for enjoying the day and recognizing the gift of aviation.
Take a Destination Flight
There's no better way to celebrate National Aviation Day than hopping on a plane, enjoying the bird's eye view and landing in paradise. To make sure your trip is hassle-free from start to finish, Air Unlimited offers quick reservations, free valet parking, fast check-in, short lines and a comfortable, private waiting area. In flight, each of the nine seats feature window-views and plenty of leg room. In just over an hour, you'll land in the beautiful and tropical Abaco Islands. You can also reserve one of our aircraft charters to fly anywhere in the U.S.
Learn More About Aviation
To learn more about the history and future of aviation, visit a local aircraft museum or science center featuring planes. Consider checking out aviation books at your favorite library or renting an exciting aviation movie. You could even take an introductory flight lesson.
Inspire Your Kids to Appreciate Flight
Many of today's pilots became fascinated with aviation at a young age. At Air Unlimited, we hope to inspire the young passengers with our Junior Pilot Program. Registered kids fly in the cockpit with the pilot, experience stunning views from the front of the plane and learn about air travel. These kids walk away from their aircraft charter or commuter flight with a certificate, photos, a souvenir, and their very own pilot wings.
No matter how you choose to spend National Aviation Day, we hope you can celebrate the wonder of flight on this special holiday!

Creating vibrant arbitration ecosystem our priority: Modi
Sunday, 23 October 2016 | IANS | New Delhi
Creating a vibrant ecosystem for institutional arbitration is one of the foremost priorities of the government, which is committed to providing ease of doing business, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said here on Sunday.
"Creation of a vibrant ecosystem for institutional arbitration is one of the foremost priorities of our government. It has recently introduced major amendments to the Arbitration and Conciliation Act to ensure that the arbitration process is easy, timely and hassle-free," Modi said at the closing session of a three-day international conference on National Initiative Towards Strengthening Arbitration and Enforcement in India.
"These amendments have brought our arbitration process in tune with global best practices. This has given us an opportunity to emerge as a leading arbitration jurisdiction," he said.
Modi said that India should be promoted globally as an arbitration hub.
"India also has a large number of retired judges, engineers, and scientists who can function as competent arbitrators in various fields... There is need to develop specialised arbitration bar associations. We also need professionally run arbitral institutions which can deliver international standards of services at reasonable costs to businesses in India," he said.
Modi pointed out the challenges, which include availability of good quality, globally recognised arbitrators, observance of professional conduct, ensuring neutrality and timely completion of proceedings and cost effectiveness.
He said the availability of quality arbitration mechanisms is an integral component of ease of doing business.
"Hong Kong and Singapore have emerged as preferred arbitration destinations. As popular business hubs, they also rank high in the levels of ease of doing business. Thus, availability of quality arbitration mechanisms is an integral component of ease of doing business, to which our government is committed," he said.
He stressed the need to "simultaneously facilitate an ecosystem for alternate dispute resolution", including arbitration, mediation and conciliation.
"An enabling alternate dispute resolution ecosystem is a national priority for India," Modi said, adding that such resolution of disputes "preserve personal and business relationships that might otherwise be damaged by the adversarial process".
"This will provide additional comfort to investors and businesses. More importantly, it will also ease the case-load on Indian courts," he said.
Modi said there should be deliberations on ways and means to supplement the efforts of the judiciary and arbitration mechanisms.
"Mediation is one such mechanism, the potential of which has not been utilized much in the country," Modi said.


Aberrant glycosylation is a key feature of malignant transformation and reflects epigenetic and genetic anomalies among the multitude of molecules involved in glycan biosynthesis. Although glycan biosynthesis is not template bound, altered tumor glycosylation is not random, but associated with common glycosylation patterns. Evidence suggests that acquisition of distinct glycosylation patterns evolves from a 'microevolutionary' process conferring advantages in terms of tumor growth, tumor dissemination, and immune escape. Such glycosylation modifications also involve xeno- and hypersialylation. Xeno-autoantigens such as Neu5Gc-gangliosides provide potential targets for immunotherapy. Hypersialylation may display 'enhanced self' to escape immunosurveillance and involves several not mutually exclusive inhibitory pathways that all rely on protein–glycan interactions. A better understanding of tumor 'glycan codes' as deciphered by lectins, such as siglecs, selectins, C-type lectins and galectins, may lead to novel treatment strategies, not only in cancer, but also in autoimmune disease or transplantation.

I need a loan but if I have bad credit who will lend to someone like me?
If this sounds familiar to you, there is some good news. loans for people with bad credit exist, and you may even be able to get one today from LoanPig.co.uk, the responsible online lender.
LoanPig's instant loans for bad credit do not charge you a fee – the application is 100% free.
Loans for bad credit with no credit check, are they legal?
Bad credit loans with no guarantor, are they available?
online bad credit loans, what to check for?
Loans for bad credit – direct lender or broker?
Credit cards for bad credit, which are best?
If for some reason you've missed a repayment of a loan or a mobile bill (or paid it late), had a vehicle or house repossessed, had your debt passed on to a debt collection agency, or taken bankruptcy within the last six years, this all will be marked on your credit record. These will all contribute towards a lower credit score, but there are ways for you to improve your credit score.
First thing to do is check your credit score, there are 3 main credit bureaus, Experian, Equifax and Callcredit. Look for any mistakes, make sure that little things like accounts you've closed in the past are not listed as still being open, make sure to also double check any arrears that might be listed. Then, look at what you can do to improve your credit score. Closing old accounts that might be in the red should have a positive impact so find out how much you owe and close it.
Also make sure you are on the electoral roll, if you're not listed, this can be a negative against your overall score.
Do you have bad credit but need a loan? Payday loans with no credit checks from a direct lender sound appealing, but is this really the best option.
You need a loan fast, but make sure it's the right decision.
Are no credit check loans the best choice for people with bad credit in the UK? To answer this question, we need to discuss what exactly a credit check is, and why lenders perform one.
Every person has a credit report, available from a credit bureau, which reports all reference of credit that individual has had for the last six years. When you apply for a loan, the lender will want to check whether you will pay back your loans on time, or if sometimes, you are late to repay.
Do lenders have to check my credit record?
By law, every lender will perform a credit check prior to approving any loan.
When an authorised lender advertises "loans no credit check", they generally mean that they will check your credit report but probably disregard what they see. Does this sound like the type of company you want to trust with your personal details?
At LoanPig, we are happy to accept applications from people with bad credit as we know that you are not your credit score; you may have had difficulties in the past, but if you have been working to improve, we will not hold that against you. Apply now for a bad credit loan with a company you can trust, a responsible lender like LoanPig.
Can I get loans for bad credit with an instant decision in the UK?
If have really bad credit, that is fine, not all lenders base their decision on your credit report. More flexible lenders, like LoanPig will give you a loan as long as you can afford to repay it and it doesn't put you in a vulnerable position, despite a poor credit history. Just remember, Loans for bad credit in the UK can have a higher APR than loans for good credit. That's why you might consider guarantor loans for bad credit for the cheaper option. However, you can still find lenders who provide loans for bad credit without a guarantor for a good price. At LoanPig, we offer loans for bad credit in the UK with no guarantor, instant decisions available on all our loans.
Are cash loans for bad credit easy to obtain in the UK?
Cash loans for a bad credit rating are relatively easy to find in the UK if you know where to look. For example, if you apply with a traditional lender, you're more likely to be turned down. If they do accept you, it will only be with a high interest rate to cover the risk of lending to you. However, if you apply for cash loans with a bad credit lender, you can find lower APR loans for bad credit that are easily accessible online. At LoanPig, you can easily apply for loans online for bad credit. We don't require a guarantor and the cash could be with you in just a few hours.
Why are bad credit loans with guaranteed approval illegal in the UK?
If a broker or a direct lender is offering you guaranteed loans for bad credit, they are not carrying out any credit or affordability checks. A direct lender or broker who promises you a guaranteed loan before you even apply is acting irresponsibly. After all, maybe you have no income at the moment and cannot afford to repay the loan. In the UK, it is illegal for any type of lender to provide credit without carrying out any credit or affordability assessments. Instead, you can apply for a loan with bad credit from LoanPig, we look beyond just your credit score.
Where will I find instalment loans for bad credit from direct lenders only?
If you are looking for a bad credit payday loan, you might not be able to afford repaying your loan in one payment. In that case, you can apply for short term loans or instalment loans for bad credit from direct lenders instead. Installment loans are repaid over a number of payments, leaving you more money each month to manage your other expenses. The best loans for bad credit in the UK are from direct lenders only. By borrowing direct without brokers involved, the process is smoother and faster to complete. UK loan companies for bad credit must clearly specify on their website whether they are a lender or a broker or in LoanPig's case, both, giving you the best of both worlds as a short term direct loan lender and a loan broker.
We offer loans for bad credit with no guarantor because when you agreed to repay the loan on time, we believe that at the time you took out the loan, you could due to our affordability checks. If the repayment date is approaching and you realise that you won't be able to repay, please give us a call and we'll rearrange your payments, into a solution that will help everyone. No guarantor necessary.
Why do you want an online loan? It is fast and convenient? Then you have come to the right place, LoanPig bad credit loans online are all three.
Our online application form is specially designed for speed, allowing you to quickly fill it out on your smartphone, tablet or computer, whichever is more convenient to you.

Can I get Loans for bad credit near me?
You may prefer to take out a loan from a high street lender, rather than a lender online. This is understandable, as it can be quite difficult to tell the difference between a loan shark and a genuine FCA approved lender online. Make sure that any company you visit online, with a view to taking out a loan with is FCA approved.
Where is the Nearest Short Term Loan Lender?
To find a local lender, you could google "Loans for bad credit near me" and look at the results. Remember to look for reviews, so you can get an idea on how reputable they really are.
Looking for a direct lender? Well, you've come to the right place! LoanPig is a direct lender, and all our bad credit loans are funded directly from our account to yours.
It's important to understand whether your lender is a direct lender or broker and what exactly the difference is between them. More importantly, which one should you choose when looking for a loan?
When you're looking for loans for bad credit, direct lenders are the ones who will end up giving you the money, if they accept your application. If you apply with a broker, they will send round your application to a panel to try and find a lender who will accept it. Many people prefer to look for loans for bad credit from direct lenders only, as they are uncomfortable with the idea of brokers passing round their personal details, but fear not, as long as you state that you wish to opt out of any company using your information, then you have no need to worry. You might however prefer to stick with one or two lenders that they've used before, and are comfortable with.
Using a broker to find a loan for bad credit may save you time, as you only have to fill out the application form once and it is submitted to several lenders so you'll get the best of both worlds from a short term loan broker and a payday loan direct lender.
At LoanPig, you have the best of both worlds. We are a direct lender you can trust. If your application is accepted, we will send you the money directly. Although we can't accept every application, but we want to offer you a facility so we will then act as a broker and try to find a lender who can help you.

If I Have Bad Credit, Are No Credit Check Credit Cards for Me?
It sounds appealing to get a credit card without them knowing your bad credit history, but unfortunately, every credit card company has want to perform a credit check. So, if you have or have had bad credit, does this mean that you might not be able to get a credit card in the UK?
There are some credit cards that are specifically designed for people with bad credit in the UK. They are there to help you rebuild your credit score, by allowing you to borrow a small amount of credit every month and repaying it on time.
This will show up on your credit report, signalling that you are paying back on time, improving your repayment habits, making it more likely for lenders to lend to you.
There are no special bank accounts for people with bad credit, they are just called basic bank accounts. This means that if you have bad credit, you are still able open a bank account. Once your account is open, all banks will give provide you with a debit card linked to your account, but depending on which account you choose or how bad your credit is, you might not get an overdraft or a cheque book. Since you only able to use the money that you have in your account with a debit card, you will not need debit cards for bad credit specifically. Of course, if you have bad credit, your bank may not approve an overdraft facility on your account.
If I Have Bad Credit, is a Credit Card the Right Choice?
Sometimes, a credit card may not be the right option. If you only need the money right now, it makes more sense to apply for a bad credit loan, this may reduce the temptation to continue borrowing in the future if an on tap facility isn't available. LoanPig loans for bad credit have safety features in place to help you get back on your feet, and possibly back out of debt.
If you need a loan, and you're worried about your credit report, then LoanPig loans are best for you. Safe loans from a direct lender, no guarantor required, with same day funding at no extra charge which is everything you could possible want in a loan.

So just what is a bad credit loan? There isn't a product called 'bad credit loans.' but many lenders will not offer loans for people with poor credit, so these people often search for "loans bad credit" or "short term loans for people with bad credit" to find lenders.
It's important to realise just what is meant by the term "bad credit." Your credit file contains all sorts of information, and maybe not all of it is as you would like it to be. If you have a history of missing repayments, lenders should be wary of lending to you, as it shows a risk for them and you when trying to pay back the loan. Depending on what type of loan you are looking for, a poor credit history may prevent you from being approved.
Can I get a loan with bad credit now?
Improving your credit will dramatically improve your chances of being approved by payday and short term lenders. However, at LoanPig we are happy to accept applications from people with bad credit because if we see that you're making every effort to improve, we might not need to hold your past against you.
Can I get a Loan if I have a bad credit history?
When someone has bad credit, they may search for "loans for bad credit no credit checks", thinking this will increase their chances of getting a loan, but this is far from the truth. When you apply for a loan with a responsible lender like LoanPig they will look at your credit history to ensure that you are not taking on too much debt when taking on this new loan and make sure to not make your situation worse.
Although it sounds very reassuring to feel that when you apply for a guaranteed loan that you will definitely be approved, but for a bad credit payday loan, all short term loan lenders in the UK are required to perform adequate affordability and credit checks before they approve a loan. That means that no responsible or ethical lender will be able to guarantee to give you any short term loan. Apply for a bad credit loan from LoanPig for your good chance of getting a short term loan or payday loan from them or one of their panel of direct lenders.
Some loan facilities require you to have someone are your guarantor before the lender will agree to lend to you. A guarantor is someone who guarantees to repay the loan if you can't or don't for whatever reason.
As you can imagine, it can be very hard to find someone who will agree to be a guarantor for you. Therefore, people will try to find a loan that does not require a guarantor at all.

In Myrla and Jim's 43 years of marriage, she was his strongest supporter in all his community and statewide service. They enjoyed travels to many countries along with entertaining, raising their five children and caring for their elderly mothers. In her later years, Myrla spent time traveling, having dinners and playing pinochle with her group of special lady friends. She was a great champion of her children and grandchildren and often provided babysitting care and attended their important occasions whenever possible.

In case you haven't seen some of my recent posts, I've been really digging in and cranking out some fun graphic design projects. I've found a lot of creative enjoyment with this hobby. It takes a lot less concentration and thought than designing curriculum but still gives me a sense of satisfaction when I complete a project and enjoyment in the creative process.
Sometimes, I can't quite seem to put my finger on what I want to create but I know that I can't wait to put a new design out there. When this happens, I love visiting thehungryjpeg.com for inspiration. I found the most gorgeous bundle on their site today. Here's the bundle cover image from their site.
After flipping through the images, I had so many ideas for shirts, cards, home decor, etc. that could be created off of this theme. I love everything beachy and everything boho so this was a match made in heaven for my design work.
What I love even more is that the bundles on this site are very affordable. You can get loads of graphics and fonts for under $20 a pop. That means that I can quickly recoup my expenses when I put out new designs. The bundle above is only $18!
Most of my designs are created using fonts and graphics from this site. I recently created a baby shower invitation and had so many files in my Google Drive to pull out exactly what I needed to create the perfect invite for the mom-to-be. Check out the invitation below.
I picked up the fonts used on this invitation at The Hungry JPEG as well. They have an awesome selection of individual fonts and font bundles. I love picking out new script fonts. Although, I really should consider picking out a lot more sans serif fonts to balance out these scrawling beauties.
Some other items that I've designed using their bundles are up in my Etsy store. Here's a shirt that I created using a variety of products.
To design this shirt, I used the Islander font available on their site and combined it with an apple graphic that came in a huge graphics bundle. I then layered the apple with a watercolor design from another bundle to create the watercolor apple on the shirt. I loved playing with fonts and colors to create the perfect shirt to represent teachers everywhere.
Overall, designing has been a really fun process and I wanted to share my creative inspiration source with you guys so that you can find everything you need to start getting creative as well!

Q: How many Monoliths are in each system? I interacted with a Monolith and accidentally chose the wrong option (not the option that helps you locate a Portal).
Now I can't interact with it, and my navigation beacon isn't locating any more Monoliths.
Is there another Monolith in this system I can locate and use to find the local Portal?
I am especially curious because I see that the NMS Wiki post for Portals starts with this description:

Portals are structures in No Man's Sky that can be found on all celestial bodies of a star system, like Planets or their Moons. There is always one portal on each.

I have found a lot of information on the internet to be out of date when it comes to post-NEXT features, so I guess as a sub-question:
Is there still 1 Portal per celestial body?
It would make sense to me that if there was a Portal on each celestial body there would be at least 1 Monolith for each, right? But I am in a 2-body system, with only one Monolith being revealed.

A: There at least 3 monoliths per planet. I use my Nomad exocraft to scan for one, then fly to it with my ship, and repeat.

A: there are at least 20 monolith per planet sometimes, and none in others (specially I could not find any on moons) easy to know you are on a moon because its low gravity. Now I am trying to check in a new planet and so far nothing but.

*

*When you check you only check on a small zone of the planet (and even so some weird times gives you the data of other planet, if there is not on the zone but there is some near planet to get data from).

*If you check a planet sometimes just checking the nearby option gives you the same (it happen with pods and it happen with factories, sometimes it happen also with monoliths and plaques but not always).

*once you have a mark (mark means scan for something), and if you have a mark that you want, be sure to not save it for later or just save and come back later, sometimes it goes.

*I try not to use beacons, because a lot gives you the same coordinates, and if its already made it bugs itself and then you arrive to the place, and the mark does not go.

*If you have too many marks, its possible that  the scanner gives you nothing at all.

*Sometimes if you use the "close" it will give you the same you know its there. (even using any of the options sometimes). that normally means there is nothing near. or nothing of that type.

What I do to solve most of this: 1 you keep heading North (or south) or some specific direction. then I search for artifacts using navigation mostly until the navigations points to the same or a repeated one (yes this way you always lost one at least). At that point I point to factories (secure), and then use the near option until it repeats again.
After that I go directly up to 3000 units up, then 10 seconds at max speed, and then land. The best result is to do this in harsh environment, because if you keep scanning around you even find ancien structures, that gives navigational data. and then you can keep doing this till you get tired.
I did this on just one planet until, the last 5 factories, give me only nanite points and nothing else. so I decided to change to other "start" type by then.

While attending Sirius XM's "Radio Andy Theater" event in West Hollywood on September 14, the Watch What Happens Live host addressed the offensive comments Sonja Morgan and Dorinda Medley made during New York City Fashion Week and weighed in on the possibility of Jill Zarin returning to the show after Bethenny Frankel's exit.
While chatting with Extra's Jennifer Lahmers at the event, Andy was asked about Sonja and Dorinda's social media comments about the bodies of drag queen Miz Cracker and transgender model Yasmine Petty.
"Who is that? Oh, that's a guy, right?" Sonja asked about Miz Cracker during the runway show.
"With a body like that, it's a guy, you're absolutely right," Dorinda added of Yasmine.
"I know they felt terribly and apologized and took it as a learning experience on several levels," Andy explained, noting the apology statement Sonja and Dorinda released after the social media videos were shared.
The 12th season of RHONY is currently in production and although fans won't be seeing any of Bethenny on the new episodes, Andy said the door is always open when it comes to a future return.
"The door that we have on the 'Real Housewives' is a revolving door, so she's out now, [but] I am hoping she comes back in at some point," said Andy about Bethenny. "The drama keeps happening and life will go on."
Andy also seemingly confirming the return of Jill on the upcoming season.
"I think you will definitely be seeing Jill popping up," he added of the former housewife.
As for the rumors regarding Wendy Williams' potential addition to the show, Andy said it would be "amazing" if she joined the RHONY cast.
"It's a pretty good idea," he teased.
Andy went on to reveal that he has been in touch with the very busy and newly sober Luann de Lesseps, who is currently tending to her cabaret tour.
"We texted the day [Luann's] probation ended," he said, "and I'm very proud of her; she has been through a tough time. You know, staying sober is rough."
