Mr Perry added, "The UAE would be the next big destination for blockchain-powered transactions. The government is keen on implementing blockchain technologies like the EMCASH initiative.

MFB Fertility Announces FDA Clearance of Proov®, the First and Only At-Home Test to Confirm Ovulation

Proov, a Boulder-based medical company created to empower women to know more about their reproductive health, today announces the FDA clearance of its at-home PdG - the urine metabolite of progesterone - test, marking the first-ever FDA-cleared product that allows for ovulation confirmation at home.

The announcement of its FDA clearance comes on the heels of additional momentum from the team, including a recent $50,000 grant from the Air Force to support military couples who are trying to conceive.

Proov's test strips measure the presence of PdG - a urine metabolite of progesterone. Progesterone is the hormone released by the ovary after ovulation.Tracking levels of PdG after suspected ovulation can confirm that ovulation has successfully occurred. Problems with ovulation are the leading cause of infertility in women, so checking for healthy ovulation is critical when it comes to trying to conceive.

https://jessicapressreleases.blogspot.com/2018/05/ritzpix-adds-portable-banner-offerings.html

"Receiving FDA clearance is a huge, pinnacle moment in our journey at MFB Fertility," said Amy Beckley, MFB Fertility's founder and CEO. "We created Proov as a means to put the power and knowledge of reproductive health into the hands of women. I myself experienced years of struggling to conceive, multiple miscarriages and a feeling of general lacking within the fertility industry so I decided to leverage my doctorate in pharmacology and expertise in hormone signaling to do something about it which is how Proov ultimately came to be."

Over 7 million couples suffer with infertility each year and the issues that Proov helps identify can help more than 40 percent of those couples. Proov test strips provide critical information about successful ovulation - information that can change the game for so many couples. If Proov results indicate a lack of ovulation or suboptimal ovulation, the fix can be as simple as lifestyle and diet changes or supplements and medications - solutions that are way less invasive and expensive that IVF. Regardless of results, Proov enables more informed conversations with doctors, helping women get treatment faster and ultimately closer to their desired outcomes. Be alert to the latest news.

From here, Proov plans to officially launch their mobile app this Spring. The software integration will help women to collect data on the hormones involved in ovulation to help get them closer to actionable answers. Additionally, the team will continue to build out its product pipeline, which includes products aimed at further addressing needs of women trying to conceive as well as expand to help women dealing with perimenopause.

Originally co-founded in Boulder, Colo. by two women who both struggled to conceive, MFB Fertility was created to empower women to know more about their menstrual cycles, ovulation health, and PdG levels.

Fivewalls: Millennials Feeling A Perfect Storm is Brewing in the Housing Market

Fivewalls recent research shows that millennials, especially those in the Greater Toronto Area, face many stresses as they enter the housing market. Three storm fronts are brewing to make a Perfect Storm and they are feeling it. Storm front one - the relative mortgage debt load is 400% greater than it was for their parents. Storm front two - there is the challenge and confusion around the qualifying mortgage stress test rules which limit borrowing capacity. Storm front three - with only a few exceptions, the Canadian housing market is mostly a seller's market.

Click here to read the latest news.:

https://jessicapressreleases.blogspot.com/2018/05/author-sb-white-has-released-latest-ya.html

Adding to the confusion is the very recent development in the mortgage rules. Canada's Department of Finance is easing the "stress test" for insured mortgages by changing how the minimum qualifying rate is determined beginning April 6, 2020. Instead of having buyers qualify two per cent on top of the Bank of Canada's five-year posted rate, buyers can now qualify two per cent above the rate from mortgage insurance applications.

Read here.:

https://jessicapressreleases.blogspot.com/2018/05/codemonkey-announces-winners-of-code.html

Millennials Are Faced with Unprecedented Levels of Debt

Beginning 2020, the average price of a detached home in the GTA was just shy of $1 million and the average condominium at $630,000. The traditional 20% down payment is $208,000 and $126,000 for a detached home and condominium respectively. This remaining debt which is nearly 10 times the median household income for detached homes (7.6 times for condominiums) is keeping potential buyers awake at night. In 1980, when the millennials parents were purchasing a house, it was only 2.6 times. "I don't think most boomers can truly relate to the level of stress their millennial children feel in today's housing market. Conceptually you can see the numbers but it is another thing to experience it in the heat of the moment. I could see and feel the emotion in our recent focus group discussions", says Paul Hayman, CEO at Fivewalls.

As one potential buyer stated: "I want to buy a home but, I am going to be in debt for the rest of my life. It is really scary and overwhelming". The problem is compounded by the seller's market which currently exists in much of Ontario and most of the major markets in Canada. The lack of inventory is creating the imbalance and driving a "hot" market. TREB reported 7,772 active listings in January, which is a decrease of 35% from last year. In most of Ontario, Fivewalls is experiencing a much more active winter market than in 2018 and 2019.

Impact of The Change in the "stress test" Calculation

In a CBC recent article, it was calculated that the new stress test would allow buyers with an annual income of $100,000 to increase their purchasing power by 3%. That means they can afford 3% more in property price. Buyers can qualify for more money and it is coming at a time where the GTA is expected to experience property price increases of 9.2% in 2020. FOMO, fear of missing out, from January to April of 2017 which caused housing prices to rapidly increase is highly expected to return in the spring of 2020 as buyers' purchasing power increases.

Similarities to the 2017 Housing Market

In 2017, FOMO drove the average price of a detached home in the winter market up by 19.5% in GTA from January to April. This super heated market resulted in a buyer taking significant financial risk to get into the market. As a result, the credit markets were exposed to a higher risk than Canadian regulators felt was prudent. In late 2017, OFSI (Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions) stepped in to create the "stress test" which are a stringent set of rules that home buyers must go through to determine if they can still meet mortgage payments if interest rates increase. Up until this week's announcement it uses the 5-year benchmark rate established by the Bank of Canada or the buyer's own mortgage rate plus 2% to determine how much money one can borrow.

Seasoned full-time realtors know they have an important role in mentoring the millennial buyer in the current market. They also know their buyer needs to seek professional advice from a recognized mortgage lender to ensure they know their mortgage "stress test" limits. The increased education can't change the market dynamics, but it can make for more restful nights and a better outcome for all.

https://jessicapressreleases.blogspot.com/2018/05/the-giant-barbecue-battle-washingtons_15.html

Advice for Buyers in A Seller's Market

To compete in a hot housing market, it is essential that the buyer knows their personal comfort zone with respect to their debt load and the maximum loan they can get under the stress test rules. If these limits are not clear before the buyer sees the home of their dreams, it is unlikely that they will win a multi-bid offer. "We were quite surprised by buyers' lack of clarity around the mortgage qualifying rules", said Hayman. As a result, we are emphasizing to our independent network of top full-time real estate professionals that they make sure their buyers have done their homework in advance. Without reaching out to a financial institution in advance the buyer is at a big disadvantage when trying to win a multiple bid situation.
