iQuanti: When you apply for a loan, credit, or another type of financing, you may have to undergo a credit check. Sometimes referred to as a credit inquiry, this is the process of a financial institution checking your history to see if you're worth lending to. What you might not know is that there are two types: soft and hard credit checks. Let's dive deeper into soft vs. hard credit checks, how they work, and what they show lenders.
What are soft credit checks?
A soft credit check, or soft pull, is a surface-level credit check that provides a snapshot of your finances to lenders. Oftentimes, soft credit checks are linked to a general background report. When you go online to check your credit score, the number you get is based on a soft inquiry rather than a hard pull.
If a lender were to make a prequalification offer, they would do so based on information gathered during a soft credit check. A soft inquiry does not require an actual report from the credit bureaus, which means it does not ding your credit score.
Here are some common types of soft credit checks:
Checking your own credit score
A component of a background check
Loan prequalification and preapprovals
What are hard credit checks?
With a hard credit check, a lender is asking for an official report of your credit history. This is a deeper dive into things like your current debts, payment history, and previous credit inquiries. Hard credit checks are more thorough and can cause your score to drop by a few points. The minor drop in credit score points can quickly bounce back, especially if your application is approved. But keep in mind that too many hard credit pulls can harm your credit score.
Here are some types of hard credit checks:
Rental applications
Mortgage applications
Personal loan applications
How to prevent hard inquiries from hurting your credit
If you're worried about your credit score following a hard inquiry, rest assured the occasional hard inquiry won't harm your score. However, if you have back-to-back hard inquiries (usually from more than one application in a short amount of time), you're likely to experience a greater score dip. Try spacing out applications to one or two a year where possible. Too many of these signal that you're in poor financial standing and relying on credit cards or loans to get by.
Avoid submitting applications to lenders without first checking your own score via a soft inquiry. By running a soft credit check, you can verify whether you're in a good place for a hard credit check and better understand your chances of approval. It's also recommended that you do hard credit checks periodically for an in-depth look at your finances. Usually, an annual hard credit check will suffice.
The bottom line
It's important to know the difference between soft credit checks and hard credit checks. Each of these plays a special role in your overall financial well-being. By recognizing the difference, you know which to turn to for general monitoring and which to leave to the professionals when the time comes to apply for a loan.
LUXLife Magazine recognizes sustainably raised ostrich meat from Idaho producer as a gourmet option with unique health benefits and less environmental impact.
American Ostrich Farms (AOF) has been named 2022's Best Alternative Red Meat Producer by LUXLife Magazine in their 7th annual Food & Drink Awards. LUXLife's awards program recognizes those who offer the best products, finest services, and incredible experiences to their customers. Nominees from across the globe are assessed and judged purely on merit and excellence.
"We are honored to be recognized as the USA's Best Alternative Red Meat Producer," says AOF Founder and CEO Alex McCoy. "This award validates our work to provide a more sustainable, healthful, yet truly gourmet product that is quickly finding its way into some of the nation's most outstanding dining establishments, as well as home kitchens across the country."
With the opening of their own USDA-inspected processing plant, AOF closed the gap on its "hatch to harvest" production chain, which allows them to ensure that each and every cut of meat that goes to market is of the utmost quality. At a time when consumers are seeing more plant-based and cultivated protein products hit store shelves, AOF is taking advantage of the ostrich's unique biology to offer a novel solution to the environmental and health concerns surrounding conventional animal-based products and these newer substitutes.

We believe that every choice makes a difference and when common sense meets a common purpose, we can do what's right for generations to come. Our flagship family farm is in Idaho's Snake River Plain and is North America's largest producer of ostrich, a uniquely sustainable red meat.

Weather Route, Inc.'s app, Highway Weather, has just launched a new feature called Route Sharing. The feature allows drivers to share the details of any weather-related obstacles they will encounter on their drive with friends and family.
Drivers using the Highway Weather app can simply share their route from the app to generate a link. Anyone with the link can see the forecasted drive on the app website and see any potential severe weather. Families can use this information to plan winter travel together, even remotely. Being privacy-conscious, no personal location information is shared; web visitors simply see the route and related weather information as if they were starting the drive themselves.
"With winter weather season upon us, we wanted to give our users a way to easily communicate potential road hazards with loved ones," said Weather Route CTO, Devan Stormont. "We hope this will help people feel more connected and safe while traveling."
"Trip details, such as rest stops and possible weather-related hangups, often need to be communicated to friends and family beyond a vehicle's four doors," Weather Route's CXO, Alex Kizis, said. "Our aim is to make this communication process more seamless, thus allowing travelers to safely focus on the task at hand - driving."
According to data published by the U.S. Department of Transportation:
22% of all driving accidents are related to weather
76% of weather-related fatalities involve wet pavement
Weather Route, Inc. and the Highway Weather team aims to help reduce these statistics and help keep people safe. To learn more, visit https://www.weatherroute.io or contact [email protected].

"Our organization's goals very much align with Cedar's in that we also aim to make healthcare more affordable and accessible while providing a highly personalized and compassionate patient experience. That's one of the many reasons we made the strategic decision to invest in Cedar," said Alec King, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer for Memorial Hermann.
"We recognize that the healthcare industry has much room for improvement in the areas of consumer-friendly digital platforms, access and affordability. As part of our strategic investment efforts, we want to support the work of innovative companies who are accomplishing these key objectives," said Feby Abraham, Executive Vice President and Chief Strategy Officer for Memorial Hermann.

When Cry A Little Longer, a new single, drops on all streaming services on Dec. 19, 2022, the up-tempo production of wry folk/rock/Americana will be the 12th track released this year by prolific emerging artist, Ed Gumbrecht.
"Cry" is a new tune with an old soul in the tradition of classic singer-songwriting. It uniquely suits the moment with lyrics that poke at sad songs. Its punchy chorus evokes sing-along participation. Contrary to its title, it is more likely to induce smiles than waterworks. Gumbrecht makes sport of doomsaying. His bright melody carries quicksilver lyrics to an honest conclusion. There's catharsis in the observation that despite all the "trouble", it turns out we can "take the heat."
Since the February release of his debut album, Colorshow, Gumbrecht's music has been attracting a growing following with listeners in the U.S. and internationally. His songs have been featured on popular playlists including Spotify's Blues & Whiskey, Vibes, Country Road Trip, Indie Rock Music, Road Trip Folk Americana, Coffee & Country, and Songs that Taste Like Nature. His song One and Only, sung by artist Claire Marie, was a 2022 Hot Slice feature on NYC's WFUV radio. Gumbrecht is a native New Yorker who writes in Washington D.C. and records in New England.
Cry a Little Longer, the single, was produced at Dirt Floor Recording Studios in Haddam, CT, by industry veteran, Eric Michael Lichter. It will also be featured on the upcoming album, Enter the Muses. With nine original songs, Gumbrecht's new album will be out in January 2023.

MANHATTAN, N.Y. - December 16, 2022 - (Newswire.com)
It was an exciting afternoon when Joe Wessely, Board Chair of enCourage Kids Foundation (EKF), presented a $50,000 check to Mount Sinai Kravis Children's Hospital in support of KidZone TV in memory of EKF's late CEO Michele Hall-Duncan. Diane Rode, Senior Director, Patient and Family Centered Care, and Dennis Charney, M.D., Anne and Joel Ehrenkranz Dean of Icahn Mount Sinai and President for Academic Affairs of the Mount Sinai Health System, were on hand to receive the check and join in on the fun with the pediatric patients.
The gift was given through EKF's Jay Anderson Pediatric Hospital Support Fund, which funds projects in pediatric facilities that would otherwise not be funded through hospital budgets.
"On behalf of EKF, it was such a pleasure to donate $50,000 in Michele's honor to KidZone TV, a state-of-the-art interactive production and broadcast studio offering live and pre-recorded programming for viewing within the hospital. We are grateful for their hard work and long-term partnership," stated Joe Wessely.
"Mount Sinai Kravis Children's Hospital is enormously grateful to EKF for their generous support and presence in our mission to humanize healthcare for our children and families. For over 30 years, EKF has been at the forefront nationally of responding to the needs of child life programs and services for pediatric patients. We dedicate this generous gift in memory of the life's work of Michele Hall-Duncan and her formative leadership with this dynamic and innovative organization," said Diane Rode.
Special guest and EKF ambassador, WABC Sports Anchor Ryan Field, played sports trivia alongside Dr. Charney, and brought smiles to the patients who played and asked sports questions from their bedsides.
"It was such a fun afternoon playing sports trivia with the patients and their families at KZTV Studio. I'm honored to work with EKF and proud of their generous donation today. I look forward to the next time that I can test my sports knowledge and put a smile on the faces of hospitalized children," said Ryan Field.
"KidZone TV Studio was filled with laughter and excitement as our patients and families enjoyed an afternoon of fun with EKF and Ryan Field! We feel so fortunate to have EKF as a partner," stated Morgan Stojanowski, Director, Child Life and Creative Arts Therapy.
