Where Are The Top 5 Coolest Movie Cars Now

October 20, 2018 by TJ Leave a Comment

Many movies are most remembered for the cool cars they featured, and not much else. But what has become of these incredibly iconic movie vehicles?

A great many movies are known far more for the cool cars featured in them, as opposed to anything else. But then, that is probably the idea the filmmakers were going for. After all, what will make your motion picture live on more than having audiences dazzled by a flashy set of four wheels?

But, what happens to those cool cars after shooting has wrapped and the movie has hit cinema screens? Furthermore, what happens to those iconic vehicles years, or even decades later? Let’s take a look at 5 of some of the coolest movie cars in history, and where they are now.

James Bond’s Aston Martin DB5

Few are willing to argue against the Aston Martin DB5 being one of the coolest cars in film, ever. If that wasn’t enough, many even argue that the film the car appeared in, Goldfinger, is the best Bond flick to date. You are welcome to your own opinion on both subjects, of course, but what we’re here to find out is what happened to the cars used in the film.

It turns out that two DB5s were loaned by the British manufacturer for filming, with chassis numbers DP216/1 and DB5/1486/R. One had the gadgets modified into it, while the other was used for close-up and driving scenes. After filming the standard DB5/1486/R was sold in 1969 to Jerry Lee, a radio DJ, for $12,000. He sold it in 2010 for $4.1 million. DP216/1 was stolen, sadly, and has not been seen since 1997.

James Bond’s Lotus Esprit Submarine

The Lotus Esprit in The Spy Who Loved me is hugely famous, mainly due to the fact that it turned into a submarine. Astonishingly, the car in the film was actually a working car submarine. Nicknamed Wet Nellie, the modified Esprit went on a promotional tour, after which it was stashed away and forgotten about. Wet Nellie resurfaced in an auction, and was subsequently bought by Elon Musk for ÂŁ550 000. He vowed to restore it to its former glory.

Eleanor – Gone in 60 Seconds

The 2000 version of Gone in 60 Seconds was not the favourite movie of many, but it did have a 1967 Shelby Mustang GT500 that everyone loved, and it soon became one of the more iconic cars ever used in a movie. The film used a grand total of 11 of these classic cars, though most were drastically reshaped and modified to house cameras. The main Shelby used for beauty shots, however, serial number 7R02C179710, was auctioned for $1 million and can now be seen at auto shows.

V8 Pursuit Special – Mad Max

The Ford Falcon GT in the original Mad Max was drastically modified for shooting, and given to stuntman Murray Smith as payment for his work, since there was very little budget to go around. But when Mad Max 2 came around, with a bit more of a more budget, the Falcon returned to the hands of director George Miller, to once again be drastically modified for shooting. Today the Falcon resides in Dezer Museum, Miami.

DeLorean – Back to the Future

Last we have the legendary DeLorean from the Back to The Future films. 7 DeLoreans were used across the film franchise, with only 3 alive today. 2 are on display in Universal Studio theme parks, and the last was sold to an anonymous collector for $541,000.

The other 4 were sadly, scrapped for parts. The destroyed shell of one hung briefly in a Planet Hollywood in Hawaii, but has disappeared after the restaurant closed its doors many years ago. So, if you want to see a genuine Back to The Future DeLorean, it will be at Universal Studios theme parks, or it will involve tracking down the collector who is doing who knows what with it…

How to Find the Right Stock: Using Stock Screeners

October 15, 2018 by TJ Leave a Comment

When you get involved with stock trading for the first time, you’ll quickly discover that one of the biggest challenges in the market is deciding which stock you should be investing in. There are thousands of stocks listed on the market today, and the number of available options grows every day. However, as we all know, not all shares are equal. Some will be far more lucrative to you and your investment plan than others. The trick is figuring out how you can separate the winners, from the stocks that are just going to waste your time and your money. One of the easiest ways to filter out your choices without spending days at a time on the internet is to use a stock screening solution like the Finviz Screener.

What is a Stock Screener?

In simple terms, a stock screener is a digital tool that checks out a list of pre-determined stocks based on specific criteria. You determine which things you want the screener to look for in its database of stocks, and it will return a list of potential companies that you can invest in to improve your financial portfolio. Some stock screeners allow you to search for just a few basic things like volume, market cap and number of shares. Other screeners get much more in-depth with the information they provide, looking at things like Net Debt to EBITDA ratio and beyond. The best stock screeners also give you an option to save your searches, so you can come back to them later and check whether the price of individual stocks has moved up or down within a specific period. This is a great way to make informed decisions about your investments or make sure that you have a list of day-trade stocks to check out when you log into your accounts each morning.

What Can You Filter with Stock Screeners?

Stock screeners are all about filtering the choices you have in the current stock market, so you only focus your time and effort on the investments that are right for you. Of course, this means that the things you choose to filter will depend on the kind of trading you want to do. Most people look at things like market cap to determine which companies are too small for them to get involved with, and they also look at “price” to ensure that they’re not overspending on their assets. Once you get beyond those basic filters, things start to get a little more complicated. For instance, the PE ratio can help you to figure out whether your stock has potential for growth. The lower the PE ratio to the industry ratio, the better the value of the stock.

The critical thing to remember is that while stock screeners are useful to any trading strategy, they do have their limitations. Ultimately, these tools can only look at numbers, and you still need to think about other things like the reputation of the company, the product line, and the potential of the brand if you want to make sure that you’re choosing a stock that’s going to continue making you money five years from now.

Flying with Your Guitar? Here’s What You Need To Know

October 8, 2018 by TJ Leave a Comment

A guitar player’s dilemma: You are going to be taking a flight somewhere and you have to bring your acoustic guitar along. Or even if you don’t really have to bring your guitar with you, leaving it behind at home is out of the question. Either it comes with you or you don’t fly at all.

But what about baggage check-ins and regulations? What if it gets damaged in transit, like other guitars in years past? Would the check-in counter be the last place you would ever see your guitar in good condition? Would that little counter with the stern-looking ground crew be the last place you would ever see your guitar, period?

These concerns are why many guitar players prefer to bring a travel acoustic guitar that’s lighter and more compact than their full-sized acoustic. The smaller, more portable instrument counts as a carry-on and fits easily in overhead bins. If you don’t have one yet, you should seriously consider getting one for your next trip.

If you are keen on taking your guitar along with you on that plane ride, here’s what you need to know.

Policies differ from airline to airline, from country to country.

And sometimes the staff don’t really know what the policies regarding musical instruments are. Do your research beforehand before booking your flight to determine whether the airline will allow you carry your acoustic guitar in the aircraft cabin. If it does, check the requirements and make sure you can comply. Make a printout of that policy so you can show it to the ground crew as proof.

You will most likely be asked to check it in.

Regardless of the airline, in most instances, acoustic guitars would have to be checked in. The safest way to go is to actually buy an extra seat on the plane for your guitar, but unfortunately this is far from reality for most musicians.

It is still wise to revert to the default mode of checking in your precious guitar, which means you’ll have to physically prepare it for the trip so it has a fighting chance against handling mishaps. Follow these tips:

Get a flight case. The hardshell case your guitar comes with may look sturdy, but while it’s good for everyday protection, it probably won’t be able to keep your guitar in good condition when faced with the challenges that come with air travel. A soft or padded gig bag, too, will surely fare worse. It would be best to invest in a guitar case that has been specially designed for air travel.

Pack the guitar properly. Give your acoustic guitar a good in-case protection by doing the following:

  • Loosen the strings a little to accommodate changes in temperature and air pressure.
  • Fill any empty or air space with foam, soft clothing or bubble wrap to keep the guitar snug and prevent it from sliding or moving in any direction.
  • Put a soft item between the strings and frets. Good options include PE foam, folded-up paper towels or a clean piece of cloth.
  • Secure small accessories. Check that the accessories that you store in the guitar case such as clip-on tuners, string packages, wrenches and other items are firmly secured and won’t get jostled out of the accessory compartment.
  • Get a two-way humidification system that protects your guitar against both dry and wet conditions. Acoustic guitar humidifiers/dehumidifiers are easily installed in the soundhole of the guitar.

Taking these precautions can help you make sure your acoustic guitar arrives with you at your destination in good condition. Have a safe flight!

What You Need to Know About Houston 18-wheeler Accident Law

October 2, 2018 by TJ Leave a Comment

Traffic accidents are a terrifying, yet common occurrence on U.S. roadways. Every day, over 3,000 people die in car accidents. The statistics are even more deadly when the crash involves an 18-wheeler truck. In the U.S., 2 million big rig trucks are crisscrossing the nation’s highways and roads. And unfortunately, there are over half a million 18-wheeler accidents every year. Of those wrecks, 5,000 people will lose their lives. 98% of the people who die in these accidents are the driver or the passenger of a vehicle that isn’t an 18-wheeler. It’s a fact of life that U.S. drivers have to share the roadways with large, big-rig vehicles. When you’re driving a regular sized passenger sedan, getting involved in a wreck with an 18-wheeler is horrifying and potentially deadly. So below are some 18 wheeler accident statistics, and if you’ve been the victim of a Texas roadway accident involving an 18-wheeler, here’s what you need to know about accident law in Houston.

1. Proof of Negligence

There is no law against 18-wheelers hitting a vehicle, but the driver of an 18-wheeler can be deemed negligent and responsible for paying out damages to the injured party. A competent attorney needs to prove that the driver of an 18-wheeler was negligent. Proving negligence in an 18-wheeler accident in Texas is a little different than proving negligence with passenger vehicle crashes.

Truck drivers and trucking companies are subject to numerous federal and state regulations. If a company or driver violates any of these regulations, it’s evidence that the company failed to live up to their responsibilities to keep their drivers and other vehicles safe. In some cases, a single violation of a regulation can be enough to prove that the driver of the truck was negligent.

  • Speeding
  • Driving the 18-wheeler without the required safety brakes
  • Failing to stop at a light or stop sign because of unsafe brakes

Although failing to adhere to regulations can result in a winning case for the injured party, most trucking accidents don’t involve regulatory breaches. The most common causes of trucking accidents include the following:

  • Failing to look when changing lanes
  • Distracted driving
  • Driver fatigue
  • Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol

The majority of trucking accidents will involve a mixture of the two elements; regulatory breach, and driver error. An experienced attorney will know what to look for in an 18-wheeler accident to best prove negligence.

2. How long is the Statute of Limitations in Houston for an 18-wheeler accident?

In Texas, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims is two years from the date of the accident. Property damage claims are subject to a two-year limitation, as well. Unfortunately, with 18-wheeler truck accidents, they have a high morbidity rate. There is a two years statute of limitations for filing a wrongful death claim in Texas. But, the statute can be paused for up to one year. The statute begins when the injured party dies, not on the date of the accident.

3. What To Do After an Accident

After the accident, you need to get to safety and get prompt medical attention first. Do not speak to the truck driver, their trucking company, or an attorney or insurance adjuster. They will attempt to misrepresent your side of the case. Most of all, do not release your medical records to anyone related to the trucking company.

Make a report with the police, and always save your medical receipts and bills. If possible, take photos and video of the accident scene, your injuries, and your property damage. Follow up with your doctors and specialists, and always follow your doctor’s orders and advice. After you’ve been injured, it is crucial that you hire an experienced Houston personal injury attorney.

They’ll be able to protect you from liability and get you the compensation you deserve for your pain, suffering, and property damage.

How To Avoid Getting Foreclosed By Banks

September 29, 2018 by TJ Leave a Comment

Our generation is a generation living on profit and borrowed time, and often in borrowed cash. With the invention of the credit card system, people focus on spending first and paying layer, which has gotten them in heaps of trouble. Before they know it, they are unable to deal with the mortgages for their houses and eventually the bank will end up claiming them. Subsequently, when it comes to buying houses at a cheap and affordable rate, a foreclosed house is definitely a better choice. Here are a few points to make sure that your beautiful house doesn’t get claimed up by the banks and leaves you homeless. All you need to make sure is to follow a few guidelines.

Be regular in your payments

As you may have noticed, there is no dearth of foreclosures in Orlando. What do you think all these people did wrong that the bank has no choice but to claim them. It is imperative to know that banks are not really evil by nature. A foreclosed house has a lot of paperwork to deal with. Plus there is the added impetus of selling the above-mentioned house so am to get back the money that was paid on behalf of them. Well, the one thing the people indeed do wrong was not made their payments on time. It is well known that time is of the essence when it comes to a bank and lack of payments of time sets the bank towards a loss. While the first and second-time defaulters are usually given the benefit of the doubt. The third time defaulters are given a stern warning, failing that the house is foreclosed and taken away.

Choose a proper mortgage plan

Most foreclosuresoccur due to the people taking large mortgage plans that they can’t afford. When your job description changes and your cash flow are reduced, start planning from the one in how you will provide the finance to pay the mortgage on the house. Of course, the banks will try to provide you a good quickly ending mortgage, but unless you want to avoid the same situation as foreclosures in Orlando, you will have to start, and choose a mortgage you can afford even when any financial distress occurs.

Keep a good back up

A good financial plan would have gone a long way in avoiding those foreclosures. Sometimes the money flow can still go into ebb mode while you earn well. Unless you have a proper backup, you may soon face an unpleasant foreclosure. Keep a certain amount of money saved for the hard times, because you never know when hard times will befall you.

Conclusion

Thus all you need to do is follow your basic common sense and you can avoid any impending financial disaster like this. So plan ahead and do your financial calculations wisely, unless you want to end up as a part of the sad story of the foreclosures.

3 Apps That Will Prevent Leaking From Your Smartphone

September 27, 2018 by TJ Leave a Comment

Smartphones possess many good qualities that make them quite useful. So, you cannot blame people for spending long hours on their mobile devices every day. But, despite being useful, the security of personal data and privacy protection is still a big issue.

Data can leak from your Smartphone in some ways, subjecting users to a higher risk of being hacked. And according to one of the best writing service providers, even if one claims to have the most elegant Smartphone, you are still not free from data leaking. Here are three apps that can prevent leaking and keep your mobile device safe from being hacked.

  1. viaProtect

It is surprising to know that our mobile devices communicate with others we do not know. They also share background information with them. And this poses a high risk for people who don’t secure their mobile devices. Your mobile device might be transmitting vital information about you to internet fraudsters without your knowledge.

But there is a way you can prevent this from happening. The viaProtect app can help prevent data leaking. It’s a free app designed to keep Android and iOS device users safe online and offline. The app can scan and reveal data your phone has sent out to others in the background, which you didn’t know. The app monitors Android device, configuration, and network, to identify any security vulnerability. You will also receive notification if there are impending threats.

This app has a simple interface, and security reports are easy to read. You won’t find jargons that will confuse you. And based on the level of security of your Android device, viaProtect will provide suggestions that will enable you to tighten up your Smartphone’s security. For instance, it could suggest things like adding a passcode, disabling debugging and make your device unable to install unverified apps. Once you make the recommended changes, your mobile device security will improve.

  1. OS Monitor

The OS Monitor app can help you tackle privacy issues associated with the use of Smartphones. It will enable you to use your apps and Smartphone without being in the dark when it comes to security threats.

The OS Monitor will help to monitor your device in different angles: process, network connection, and misc. From the first tab, which is the process, it will allow you to view all the processes running on your device. Once you tap on any of them, you will be able to change, stop or even see the process log.

The second tab on this security app is called the Network. It will give you insight into every of your phone’s network devices, as well as all the available information. The third tab is known as the Connect. Here, you can view all of your current connections. It will help you ascertain where your data is being sent to or received.

Finally, there is a Misc tab that also provides useful security information. You will find all sort of information on this tab such as battery status, CPU frequency, and other system data.

  1. Screen lock app

The screen lock app is a must-have for people looking to prevent leaking. Once you become inactive for at least 20 seconds, your Smartphone should be able to auto-lock to stop privacy invaders from gaining access.

The screen lock app is vital for all device, be it tablet or laptop. It is among the easiest ways you can prevent unauthorized access to personal information on your phone. Make it difficult for intruders to make login attempts by enabling automatic wiping of the Smartphone after some tries, maybe 10.

You should also mind whoever you give access to your login details. Understand that things can get ugly when your information falls into the wrong hands. If there is no screen lock or other means of preventing people from gaining access to your phone, they may one day install a keylogger which will make all additional security useless.

Other Tips:

  • Avoid the use of pin code to lock phone screen. It’s quite more comfortable to breach.
  • Use a password for your screen lock. It should also mix them with numbers and letters that will be difficult to guess.
  • Another option to ensure the screen lock app is secured is to use a complicated pattern that people won’t figure out.
  • You can also use the fingerprint technique to lock your phone.

Conclusion

According to professional paper writers, every Smartphone user is at higher risk of leaking. Your device might just be interacting with unknown persons without your knowledge. It happens most of the time. Most of the apps installed on your devices could be responsible for the leaking. But you can prevent any attack by using these Smartphone apps.

Understanding Your Credit Score

September 26, 2018 by TJ Leave a Comment

You have been searching the Calgary MLS and you have found the perfect home and you have applied for a mortgage loan, now what? For many homebuyers, the time between applying for a loan and waiting to find out if the loan has been approved is an excruciating experience. To help ease your anxiety, it is helpful to learn more about the types of things that are taken into consideration by lenders when trying to decide whether or not they should approve your loan. One of these many factors is your credit score, but what exactly is your credit score and how is it calculated?

What is a Credit Score?

Your credit score is a number that is assigned to you based on your financial health at any given time. This figure, which is calculated by Equifax and TransUnion on a 300 to 900 scale, is then used by lenders to determine the risk of providing you with a loan in comparison to other borrowers. The higher your credit score, the less of a risk you are considered to be. The exact algorithm used by the credit-reporting agencies to determine your credit score is not made public. Furthermore, some lenders use these scores as only one guideline and may, in fact, have their own way of determining a credit score for each potential borrower.

What is Used When Determining a Credit Score?

While the exact algorithm is unknown, the following pieces of information are used when calculating credit scores:

  • Payment history
  • Account history
  • Collections or bankruptcies recorded against you
  • Outstanding debts
  • The number of recent inquiries into your credit report
  • The type of credit you use (i.e. credit cards, loans or a combination of the two)

Each of these factors is assigned a different weight in determining your final score. Your payment history, whether or not you have filed for bankruptcy and your outstanding balances are the most important elements considered when determining your score.

How Can I Improve My Credit Score

The quickest and easiest way to improve your score is to be sure to pay your bills on time, to avoid bankruptcy and to keep your outstanding balances low. While it is a good idea to use your credit cards regularly, you should aim to keep your balances below 35 percent of the available limit on each card. Since having a high amount of revolving credit can have a negative impact on your credit score, you may want to consider closing a couple credit cards if you have several cards. At the same time, be careful when closing accounts, as closing too many accounts at one time or closing accounts with a long credit history can actually have a negative impact on your score.

Are You a Fit for the Startup Lifestyle? 5 Questions to Ask Before Going into Business

September 25, 2018 by TJ Leave a Comment

It’s not hyperbole to say that pretty much anyone can be a business owner these days.

From college dropouts and stay-at-home moms to those with some serious business savvy, today’s startups come from all sorts of backgrounds. In short, there is no “one-size-fits-all” requirement for getting your company off the ground.

That said, nobody should dive blindly into the world of startups without doing some serious soul-searching. Beyond the validity of your company, one of the most overlooked aspects of running a startup is your personality and personal habits.

That’s why we’ve outlined five questions any prospective business owner should poise to themselves before getting started.

“Would I Make a Good CEO?”

As noted by FlaskMarks’ four common blunders CEOs make, it certainly takes a special type of person to run a company effectively. From delegating tasks to being proactive, there’s a distinct difference between someone being a leader versus a follower.

Bear in mind that you don’t need to be a textbook “boss” to run a company. It’s not necessarily about being likeable or even a “people person,” truth be told.

Instead, being a good leader requires a certain sense of intuition and drive to be successful. That means confidence in decision-making, knowing when (and how) to delegate responsibility and surrounding yourself with people you trust. If you possess these sorts of qualities, chances are you’re on the right path.

“What’s My ‘Big Idea,’ Anyway?”

No matter what your industry might be, competition is fierce and there are tons of businesses out there fighting for the same customers. As such, you need a “big idea” or unique selling proposition that makes you stand out from the crowd. Whether it’s your product, stellar service or approach to problem-solving, you can’t just be another face in the crowd.

“How Are My Networking Skills?”

Networking is the missing puzzle piece for many businesses looking to take themselves to the next level. While online communication certainly matters, nothing can replace the value of making a strong impression in-person. A sort of magnetic, go-getter personality will always make you more approachable at industry events rather than being a wallflower.

“Who’s Going to Help Me Out?”

Simply put, no business owner can be an island.

You need to be able not only to spot people who can help you grow, but also nurture relationships and loyalty for the long-term. This rings true when talking about hiring talent, finding a lawyer or even securing a potential joint venture. Also, bear in mind that there’s no weakness in asking for help as a business owner.

“Can I Keep Things Thrifty?”

Anything you can do to save money as a small company is a point in your favor. Rather than have pie-in-the-sky ambitions that will cost you an arm and a leg, it quite literally pays to keep yourself grounded financially. If you’re the type of person that values self-sufficiency and seek cost-effective solutions to problems, you’ll likely keep your business in the black.

Getting involved in the world of startups may be the ultimate thrill, but leaping head first can be a struggle depending on your personality. With the answers to these questions handy, you can go into business with a newfound sense of confidence with less second-guessing about “what-if” scenarios.

How To Save Up Money When Buying School Supplies For Your Kids

September 21, 2018 by TJ Leave a Comment

Nobody wants to send their child to school and waste a big amount on their utensils. Buying school supplies for kids going back to school is not an easy task. What to buy? What to spend? How can you save money when buying school supplies? These questions leave most parents speechless, often, penniless. So how does one go about this arduous task without going broke? Here are some life hacks on how to save up money when buying school supplies for the kids going back to school:

MAKE A BUDGET

The budget would comprise a list of everything the child would need and their current market price. Make sure to include everything necessary for the child’s survival in school. Also, remember to check the house for things you already have before making the budget.

BUY IN BULK FOR FUTURE USE

Nobody wants to go to the market to buy one single pen, only to return to the market when the ink dries up. Buying in bulk would reduce the price of the commodity and avail the parent the responsibility of buying the same commodity in the near future.

SET BOUNDARIES

Most parents tend to overload their kids with supplies, often, at the kid’s demand. A child may want a new backpack even when the old one is still useful. A parent should not always succumb to these requests. Check out the things that are still useful and omit them from the budget.

SHOP IN ADVANCE

Back to school sales begin almost immediately as the schools resume and the stores are stocked with new supplies. At this time, prices are usually high because everyone is buying. To avoid the rush and save money, buy in advance when prices are low. The Works is a store that sells school supplies at a very affordable price.

SHOP WITH ANOTHER PARENT

Look for a parent whose child needs the same supplies as yours and shop with them. Make your budget together, shop together then divide the supplies after. This way, no one person bears the burden alone, and money is saved.

STICK TO THE BUDGET

Make a budget, and stick to it when you get to the store. Other things might catch your attention, but let your budget be like Jehovah’s word, heaven and earth may pass away, but his word will not return to him void.

KEEP THE KIDS AT HOME

A child’s demands in the marketplace are unending. Sometimes, a parent might be influenced to buy something they did not budget for just because the child is crying to have it. So the best way to avoid this situation is to leave the child at home. Do the shopping alone. This would save time, energy and money.

When shopping for school supplies, most parents spend a lot of their money and still end up not getting all of the necessary supplies. Follow the above hacks diligently and save some money when shopping for school supplies.
