			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>W tym momencie nie na 40 lat, ale co najwyżej na dwadzieścia pięć lat będzie można zaciągnąć kredyt hipoteczny.<br />
Daje to tyle, iż zdolność finansowa średniej rodziny obniży się o siedem procent.</p>
<p>To rozwiązanie ugodzi wielu zainteresowanych zobowiązaniami hipotecznymi. Jak wynika z danych ZBP,  na zobowiązania większe aniżeli dwadzieścia pięć lat decydowało sześćdziesiąt dziewięć procent konsumentów.</p>
<p>Oczywiście nie każde rodziny biorące pożyczkę na ponad 25 lat robią to dlatego, iż brakuje im zdolności kredytowej przy krótszych okresach spłaty.</p>
<p>Powoduje to wszystko, że petentom na pograniczu zdolności finansowej w tej chwili coraz oporniej będzie przekraść się przez serję wymagań. I w wielu wypadkach warunkiem zdobycia zobowiązania będzie  obniżenie sumy <a href="http://ror.pisz.pl/kredyty-gotowkowe.html">kredyt</a> bądź odroczenie pożyczki w czasie.</p>
<p>Nowe przepisy wprowadzają również obowiązek badania zdolności bankowej i  historii kredytobiorcy w BIK. Jedyną korzyścią z tych zapisów jest obowiązek przedstawiania przez instytucje bankowe  całościowych kosztów pożyczki.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Design Hotels Group has opened its flagship eco-hotel <a title="The Scarlet" rel="nofollow" href="http://scarlethotel.co.uk/index.asp">The Scarlet</a> on the Cornish coast in Mawgan Porth, blending stunning architecture and interior design, with the highest environmental standards seen in any hotel in the UK.</p>
<p>The design brief was simple;</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;to create a unique and sustainable building that blends with and enhances the local environment, utilising the spectacular cliff-top location and views to construct a feeling of space and light.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Unlike the sister <a title="Bedruthan" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.bedruthan.com/">Bedruthan Steps Hotel</a> just metres away up the hillside, and already respected as the UK&#8217;s top eco-hotel, The Scarlet has been designed and built from scratch by architects Harrison Sutton Partnership, builders Bauwerk and interior design agency Max Bentheim.</p>
<p>Environmental design factors such as super insulation, air tightness, passive solar heating, natural ventilation and cooling have all been combined with features such as a biomass boiler and solar water heating for the spa to create a showcase for eco-design in the hotel industry.  But this isn&#8217;t some woolly, basic, hippy hotel &#8211; it&#8217;s one of the most desirable luxury hotels in the UK.</p>
<p>Take a look at the pictures below.  Or watch the video here.  It really speaks itself.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have to admit that when I received these books I was a little skeptical about any shoe or dress that could change the World&#8230;and yet I have had to retract my thinking on this subject after reading both of the books on this title and learning quite a few facts of which I wasn&#8217;t previously aware of&#8230;</p>
<p><a href="http://www.designmuseumshop.com/catalogue/books-media/fashion/50-dresses" target="_blank">Fifty Dresses that Changed the World</a> and <a href="http://www.designmuseumshop.com/catalogue/books-media/fashion/50-shoes" target="_blank">Fifty Shoes that Changed the World</a> offers a political and social walk through history, to witness how fashion has adapted and changed over time. It&#8217;s amazing to take a glimpse through the different era&#8217;s to witness what was infiltrating the collective consciousness during specific points of time.</p>
<p>These two books are brilliant, quick and compact reference guides for students or indeed anyone interested in fashion history, to absorb key information about cultural trends and look at both women&#8217;s (and men&#8217;s) attitudes to their bodies across each generation. And how these ideas keep consistently developing and repeating over time.</p>
<p>With snippets of the clothing and shoes featured in beautiful prints, most of the clothing is still very relevant even today&#8230;I can&#8217;t wait to see where fashion takes us next. You can <a href="http://www.octopusbooks.co.uk/" target="_blank">Buy them find out more and buy these titles here. </a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Harry Potter star Emma Watson is one girl with a smart head and has teamed up with ethical designers, <a href="http://www.peopletree.co.uk/" target="_blank">People Tree</a> to create a practical, wearable and accessible collection aimed at teenagers and young adults. I have to say that I would wear most of this collection, so twenty-somethings can also find something adaptable in this collection which looks youthful, fresh and best of all is ethical!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-311" title="thecove1" src="http://o2ukdesign.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/thecove1.jpg" alt="thecove1" width="543" height="321" /></p>
<p>If you see just one film before Christmas, let it be <a href="http://thecovemovie.com" target="_blank">&#8216;The Cove&#8217;</a>, which is a <a href="http://thecovemovie.com/educate.htm" target="_blank">documentary highlighting</a> the illegal Dolphin hunting which takes place in Japan.</p>
<p>Read the Synopsis Below&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>The Cove</strong> begins in Taiji, Japan, where former dolphin trainer Ric O’Barry has come to set things right after a long search for redemption. In the 1960s, it was O’Barry who captured and trained the 5 dolphins who played the title character in the international television sensation “Flipper.”</p>
<p>But his close relationship with those dolphins – the very dolphins who sparked a global fascination with trained sea mammals that continues to this day &#8212; led O’Barry to a radical change of heart. One fateful day, a heartbroken Barry came to realize that these deeply sensitive, highly intelligent and self-aware creatures so beautifully adapted to life in the open ocean must never be subjected to human captivity again. This mission has brought him to Taiji, a town that appears to be devoted to the wonders and mysteries of the sleek, playful dolphins and whales that swim off their coast.</p>
<p>But in a remote, glistening cove, surrounded by barbed wire and “Keep Out” signs, lies a dark reality.  It is here, under cover of night, that the fishermen of Taiji, driven by a multi-billion dollar dolphin entertainment industry and an underhanded market for mercury-tainted dolphin meat, engage in an unseen hunt.  The nature of what they do is so chilling &#8212; and the consequences are so dangerous to human health &#8212; they will go to great lengths to halt anyone from seeing it.</p>
<p>Undeterred, O’Barry joins forces with filmmaker Louis Psihoyos and the Oceanic Preservation Society to get to the truth of what’s really going on in the cove and why it matters to everyone in the world.  With the local Chief of Police hot on their trail and strong-arm fishermen keeping tabs on them, they will recruit an “Ocean&#8217;s Eleven”-style team of underwater sound and camera experts, special effects artists, marine explorers, adrenaline junkies and world-class free divers who will carry out an undercover operation to photograph the off-limits cove, while playing a cloak-and-dagger game with those who would have them jailed. The result is a provocative mix of investigative journalism, eco-adventure and arresting imagery that adds up to an urgent plea for hope.</p>
