 Project History

 In 2007 I came down with Myeloma so I close up the Herbarium and turned it into a non-profit business Alim Herbarium Research Center (DBA) The Alchemist Way a 501(c3) in November 2008

 

A LOOK BACK

 I started as Free and Easy For Somebody Inc. in Detroit, Michigan as Dance Company in 1974.  Its expansion had grown into several different directions.  In 1978, Free and Easy moved to California, and established a manufacturing department, which produces accessories, spiritual products, body products, herbal products and other works of arts.  In 1989 after relocating back to the states I opened up Free &Easy first outlet in Warren Michigan, then in 1990 I moved to a location where I could manufacture my good and products.  In 1998 I closed Free and Easy outlet and let the cooperation go.

 

The Herbarium was my dream I’ve spent over twenty-five years traveling the world collecting plants, barks, roots, taking photographs and studying people, working hard to see this dream come alive.  In 1998 I, rented a storefront in order to organize the plants and data for the project, which I did on the weekend with the help of my sons and niece.  With coming down with Lupus and not being able to work full time any more, I became more set on research and seeing my dream come true.    In 2000 I started renovating a building by selling my home, and leaping out on faith to make it come true, spending the rest to buy display etc.  So in October 2001 we had our grand opening around eighty people came but out of that I also got a television show called The Alchemist Way and a Radio show called Herb Talk which started airing that November.  Then in the summer of 2002 I team up with City of Detroit Youth Program Leader 4 Life, which came and help log more data for the Herbarium.  With the TV Show it let me show case many of the inner city youth and adults, on the show with their talent and crafts. Also give me the opportunity to have professional on in the field of science and health that help inform the public, and the film became part of the library of the Herbarium.    The show was given a sprit of Detroit award, and the Herbarium was presented an award from Congress.  November 2002 I became a corporation Alim & Company DBA Alim Herbarium DBA The Alchemist Way before I was just using the name I was not a business yet since I was using my on funds.   By not knowing I did not become non-profit, so I team up with CAD a non-profit group with over a hundred members an a youth group and they became my fiduciary.  2007 I closed the Herbarium do to coming down with Cancer and rename it to Alim Herbarium Research Center (DBA) The Alchemist Way, which is now a non-profit 501(c) (3) as of November 2008

Week 12-1

Hello Ansar:

It was wonderful to have an opportunity to meet you earlier today at Ponyride.  But I would also like to share a bit more follow-up info about our company Belrauch LLC (pronounced bell-rock).

Our goal at Belrauch is to develop earth-conscious household and industrial products. We began by seeking a safer, healthier solution to the nasty petroleum distillates found in common household lubricating oils. Belrauch™ Handy Oil does just that by using biodegradable, natural ingredients. It is an excellent multi-purpose lubricant, penetrant and rust protectant where ever you have rust or squeaks! It can be used on noisy door hinges, locks, tools, nuts, bolts or appliances around the home.

 

The ingredients are what make Belrauch-HO™ different. Many off-the-shelf oils contain Hydrotreated Heavy Naphthenic Distillates (petroleum chemicals), Deodorized Kerosene and even Caustic Solvents. Our products do not contain any harsh petroleum or distillate byproducts. Belrauch-HO™ is a blend of premium plant derived oils, natural surfactants, organic rust inhibitors and antioxidants with a pleasing citrus scent. This means you can enjoy the scent of citrus in your house, not strong industrial fumes.

 

You can find out more by visiting www.Belrauch.com and if you have any other questions please let me know.

Why Don’t My Credit Reports Match?

              

If you’ve reviewed your credit report from more than one bureau before, you may have noticed some variation from one bureau to the next. Wondering why this happens? Read on to find a few possible reasons and some suggestions on what you can do next.

You got your report on different dates.

This one is so simple it might seem obvious, but it's worth keeping in mind nonetheless. For example, if you checked out your TransUnion report last week and a different bureau today, the information might not match. This could be because one of your lenders has recently reported new information. Before you get too wrapped up in any minor differences between the two reports, ensure that both sets of information are from the same day so you're comparing apples to apples.

Your lender hasn't reported to each bureau.

Lenders aren't typically required to report your information to any particular bureau or any bureaus at all, even. If one of your accounts has appeared on one bureau's report but has yet to appear on another, it could be because that lender simply doesn't report to every bureau. Similarly, if the account is appearing but hasn't been updated on a particular bureau's report, it could be because your lender has chosen to stop reporting to that bureau.
This variation also applies to hard credit inquiries. If a prospective lender checks your credit with only one bureau, then the resulting hard inquiry will only appear on that bureau's credit reports.

Your lender reports to different bureaus at different times.

Even for lenders who report to each of the national credit bureaus regularly, information may vary depending on when they report to each bureau. For instance, your lender could report to TransUnion on the first of the month, and the other bureaus on the fifteenth of the month. If this is the case, then your reported loan balances could differ among those credit reports for the time between the reporting dates. Similarly, if you've recently opened an account, it may take longer for that account to appear on some bureau's credit reports than others.

Your reports don't match for other reasons.

There are all sorts of other reasons why your information might not match up. One possibility is bureau error, so if you're sure that your situation doesn't match any of the others on this page and the information reported looks incorrect, you could consider contacting the bureau directly. If you've applied for credit under multiple names (like your maiden and married names), for instance, then one bureau could have potentially split your file or simply left off some of your information if it doesn't match what they already have on file.
Another variable that could keep certain information on your reports from matching is the manner in which credit bureaus collect information about public records. As opposed to credit cards and loans, which are typically reported directly by your lender to the credit bureaus, public records aren't actually reported to credit bureaus. Rather, credit bureaus will commonly search court records to find items like bankruptcies, judgments and tax liens. The result is that sometimes one bureau might access a public record that other bureaus have not, and you could potentially have, for example, a tax lien included on one bureau's credit report that is missing from others.

So what can you do?

If you've noticed a disparity from one bureau to the next, your next steps are up to you. As I mentioned earlier, lenders are not legally required to report your information to any particular bureau, so if your account is missing entirely, you can't force your lender to start reporting the missing information. Still, you can choose to give your lender a call and see if they'd consider reporting your account.
If an account isn't absent but instead contains outdated data, then you may be in a better position to request an update from your lender and the credit bureau. Keep in mind that your lender may simply report to that particular bureau later than they do to others so allow time for your report to be appropriately updated, but if incorrect or outdated information persists you could dispute the record to prompt an update.

Bottom Line

Just like your credit score, your credit reports can differ from bureau to bureau. By checking your credit reports from multiple bureaus at once, you can get a better sense of the complete range of information that's out there about you, and get a handle on any errors that you might want to address.
