Frequently Asked Questions on Blue Abaya:
"What is the meaning of 'Blue Abaya'?"
When this blog was started in 2010 the meaning was something along the lines of..
The blue of 'Blue Abaya' is a shade apart, merging a spirit of deep inner freedom and an infectiously positive attitude.
The blue abaya is both a symbol and an attitude for Layla's blog. It's a posture of being respectful to local traditions while setting oneself apart from the crowd through personal taste.
It's a symbol of courage to be different and unique, an encouragement to find your own path in life and think "out of the box".
..blue is the colour of the Finnish sky, and the abaya is a cultural norm of Saudi Arabia. In its name and its nature, the blog is defined by the richly opposed but co-existing worlds of Finland and Saudi Arabia.
Some more reading about the author and the Blue Abaya blog can be found here.
"Is it allowed for me to wear a blue/ colored abaya in Riyadh (or insert any city in KSA) or will the religious police arrest me?"
Yes, you can wear other colors even in Riyadh, as long as they are subtle and dark like plum, dark grey, navy blue, brown, aubergine etc. Jeddah and the EP are much more relaxed when it comes to abaya fashion. Saudi Religious police (more commonly known as muttawa or Hai'a) won't arrest you with a 99% probability if wearing colored abaya. They might arrest you and throw you in jail for having a shwarma with your colleagues though.
"Why haven't you replied my email/ message/ comment/ query?"
I received so many emails, comments, messages and queries everyday that replying to them all is very difficult at the moment. As much as I would love to reply each and every one it has unfortunately become impossible to handle. I have two small children at home, (a 2 yr old and a 4 yr old), a handful of cats, and now also a Great Dane puppy, my life is quite hectic most of the time.
Please keep in mind that maintaining this website and all the social media channels that go with it is a full-time job which also comes with a lot of expenses. To try to cover some of those expenses (server fees, domain names, wordpress theme, plugins, SEO services, various security and design software, to name a few) I run a home based business selling souvenirs and gifts from Saudi Arabia. You can support my efforts by checking out my FB store here: Blue Abaya Designs. To purchase the Saudi Gifts online you can check my Zazzle store and Nuvango storefront here. I also design blue and colored abayas made of cotton, silk and linen. If you'd like to have a look go to the FB page and follow my Instagram business page: The Blue Boutique
"Is Blue Abaya a tour/travel company?" "Can you organize a tour of ___ for my clients?" "Can you arrange a trip to Edge of the World ?"
Sorry, but Blue Abaya is NOT a tour or travel company. This is first and foremost a personal blog where I also share valuable information about Saudi Arabia every now and then. You can find travel tips, desert treks, activities, restaurants and events in Riyadh on this blog and on Blue Abaya Facebook page. The guide to Edge of the World can be found here.
"I'm going to relocate to Saudi Arabia soon. Should I get an abaya beforehand?" "What do women wear underneath the abaya?"
You don't need to buy an abaya before arrival, it's perfectly fine to dress in loose fitting modest clothing when you arrive in KSA for the first time. You will find so much more selection and better prices for abayas locally. You can wear pretty much anything you want under the abaya, some women wear only bikinis or nothing at all when temperatures reach over 45c (120F)!
What does "Saudi Wasta" mean?
Read this post to find out: Do you have Wasta?
"I'm pregnant and going to have my baby in Riyadh. What's the best hospital and recommended obgyne? Where can I have a natural delivery/VBAC? Where should I go for check-ups? Can my husband come in the delivery room with me?"
For expats the best private hospitals to check out in Riyadh for the ante-natal check-ups IMHO and from my experience are: Avenue's Clinic and Saudi British hospital, the latter has a swedish ob gyne. I've personally had bad experiences with many different physicians at Kingdom hospital and the maternity/ob gyne clinic there is like a factory line, I would not recommend it to anyone and this is one of the private hospitals with highest C-section rate.
For those wanting natural delivery, best option would be Dallah hospital with midwife there named Eman, I had my son with her you can read about it here. Update: Sister Eman is no longer working in Saudi Arabia.
"How can I join the 'expat desert walks' also known as the Hashes?"
Only foreign passport holders are allowed to attend and you should go with someone that's already a member or regular visitor. Ask around in expat groups and forums, try this one: Susie of Arabia.
"I'm a female, what should I wear when flying to Saudi Arabia for the first time?"
"Do you always wear a Blue Abaya?" "Where did you get that Blue Abaya in the profile pic from, who is the designer?"
Sometimes yes! I have three blue (royal or navy blue) abaya's, none of them were purchased from Riyadh btw, well at least technically. The first (and my favourite) one I got, was a find at Riyadh's Wedding Fair back in 2009. It was designed by a Jeddah based, talented Saudi designer. I absolutely LOVE this abaya! If I knew her name, I would gladly share it here but unfortunately the abaya doesn't have any contact detail in the tabs. The second one is from Jeddah but way too flashy to wear in Riyadh,its hardly in use. Third one I designed myself and had it made from this amazingly soft, stretchy and flowing material in Dubai. This abaya is too fancy for everyday use so I use it only for special occasions, dinners, date with hubby, Eid and so on.
"Are you married to a Saudi prince?"
No. But you can read how I met my Saudi 'Prince' here. The real Saudi royalty also make an appearance here every now and then.
"Who writes this blog?" "Are you Saudi?" "Are you Muslim?"
Majority of the posts with the exception of guest posts are written by Laura, (pen-name "Layla") a Finnish medical professional who came to work in Saudi Arabia in 2008.
"Can you help us get the Saudi marriage permission?"
Sorry, but I can't. You can read about how we got it here and maybe that will help answer some questions.
"Do you have wasta in (insert Saudi ministry or government office here)?"
I wish! If I did, this probably would not have happened like it did!
"Who made the blog banner. logo and the blog design?"
The original banner image (not currently shown) is a watercolor painting by Aafke Brouwer. It depicts an Arabian horse running on the Red Sand dunes of Saudi Arabia. For more of her work please check her website: http://aafke-art.com/. The blog design and graphics were designed by Layla.
"Do you rent quad bikes in Riyadh?"
Nope! But you can read this post to find one place to get them.
"Can you arrange a quad bike tour for 390 male Saudi teenage students?"
Absolutely. It will cost 1000 sr per student. Transport not included. (This is an actual question I was asked once)
"I'm not sure what you meant in this post, and I decided to get offended just in case. Why was my comment not published?"
First, please check that the post you have not understood or that has offended you, was not labeled under 'humor' or 'satire'. In other words, that post was written tongue-in-cheek, not to be taken seriously, or in a sarcastic style( an example of which you can see in the above reply about the 390 quad bikes). So there's no need to take offense. If you still feel the need to write an ignorant, hateful, or just overly negative and miserable comment, it won't be published. This is not the appropriate forum or outlet to make such statements.
"Can you provide me with GPS co-ordinates/ Google maps location to _____?"
Unfortunately we don't have a GPS. Sometimes I forget to take the pin location with the phone. If I do have them I will share them.
"I'm an Arab/Saudi guy and I want to date/marry a western girl. Can you organize a date for me in Riyadh? "Can you find me an American wife?" "Where and how can I meet western girls in Riyadh?"
Blue Abaya is not a dating site or a matrimonial service. You can find out about the 'Saudi Style' Dating Scene in this post, or read about Riyadh's secret nightlife here for some ideas, however I can't recommend any of these "methods" nor guarantee they will actually work, let alone find you wife material! Whatever you do, for the love of God, please don't put up ads like these!
That said, you might be amazed at how many expats find their soul mates in the Magic Kingdom.
"What is the best restaurant in Riyadh?"
Depends on what kind of food you like. You can go to this page for some suggestions. Definitely give these heavenly desserts a try!
"Where can I go horseback riding/golfing/swimming in Riyadh?"
Please, first use search option on Blue Abaya and if you can't find the answer try Google. If you're still looking for the above activities then check here or here. Even possibly here. Or you can join us on this amazing FB group and ask about any activities in Riyadh, Jeddah or EP area!
"I'm searching for images of sexy and flirty Arab or Saudi women dressed in abayas, can I find any here? Where can I meet Saudi women?"
Oh dear. You must be one of these losers. My advice, just take a hike because there are no sexy abaya pics on Blue Abaya! I think if you're serious enough to really meet a Saudi woman in a respectful manner, you will figure out a way to do so without my help.
"Can we send you this fantastic body lotion or ____ (insert any beauty product) for review?"
Blue Abaya is not a beauty or fashion blog. You can still send your product but I won't be able to write a full review on the blog about it.
"Send me the map/GPS/details/date/timing to X event/company/expo/location in Riyadh/Saudi Arabia?"
Google is your friend. Please people. I get tons of questions like this and if I were to reply to them all it would literally take me many hours a week. In the future Blue Abaya will be offering Location Consultant services for expatriates in Riyadh, al Khobar and Jeddah.

With my first, I only knew the basics which was more about the risks to me than the baby. I ended up having an epi.
With my second, I was fully informed. I knew everything there was to know about the risks and I BEGGED them for an epi but my labour was too quick to get one.
With this one, I still know the risks but I am going to take it as it comes. I am hoping to go drug free again because I felt better after my second birth but I am not dismissing the idea either.

Florist's Daughter by Professor of English Patricia Hampl
Book DescriptionDuring the long farewell of her mother's dying, Patricia Hampl revisits her Midwestern girlhood. Daughter of a debonair Czech father, whose floral work gave him entrZe into St. Paul society, and a distrustful Irishwoman with an uncanny ability to tell a tale, Hampl remained, primarily and passionately, a daughter well into adulthood. She traces the arc of faithfulness and struggle that comes with that role from the postwar years past the turbulent sixties. The Florist's Daughter is a tribute to the ardor of supposedly ordinary people. Its concerns reach beyond a single life to achieve a historic testament to midcentury middle America. At the heart of this book is the humble passion of people who struggled out of the Depression into a better chance, not only for themselves but for the common good. Widely recognized as one of our most masterful memoirists, Patricia Hampl has written her most intimate, yet most universal, work to date.

Janet Yellen Takes a Back Seat to China
Traders have been panicking over the sudden rise in global bond yields triggered by the expected tapering of the Federal Reserve's stimulus programs. But an unlikely savior may emerge to limit the damage: China. That's the view of researchers at Oxford Economics, who think the world's second-largest economy is starting to eclipse the United States as the most influential player in setting global borrowing costs.
As the world's largest trading nation and holder of currency reserves, China has long held sway over economic activity in places ranging from Brazil to Indonesia. What's new is that the country's influence over global bond markets is beginning to eclipse that of the Federal Reserve. While traders still keep a close watch on decisions made by Fed Chair Janet Yellen in Washington, economic shifts in China are starting to matter even more for the global economy.
Oxford economist Adam Slater has run the numbers on three distinct growth scenarios for China: growth slowing in a controlled manner; a hard landing in which growth drops precipitously; and a sudden return toward growth in the 8 percent range.
The first is Oxford's baseline assumption, to which Slater assigns 55 percent odds. His models see growth easing to 6.6 percent this year and toward 5.3 percent by 2020. In this scenario, China's aging population, its slowing urbanization and President Xi Jinping's efforts to prioritize domestic consumption will all contribute to gradually slower growth. In that case, Slater says, China's slowdown won't necessarily "cause severe disruptions in global markets." Even if the Fed begins hiking rates in September, China's moderation will limit the fallout in bond markets. At most, Slater reckons U.S. 10-year yields would rise from 2.2 percent now to 2.9 percent by end of 2016.
Oxford estimates the second scenario -- a deep downturn in China -- is a 30 percent proposition and could leave U.S. 10-year rates at 1.7 percent by the end of next year. It assumes a "severe correction in the property sector combines with acute problems in parts of heavy industry leading to a serious bad loan problem in the banking sector," Slater says. "Both the supply of and demand for credit drop back, with the high leverage of many Chinese firms contributing to the latter effect."
The after effects would be broad and powerful, with Chinese property falling at least 10 percent and local government finances deteriorating even more dramatically. Next, foreign direct investment would plunge, the number of non-performing loans would skyrocket and stock markets from New York to Frankfurt to Singapore would slide. In that case, global GDP might average only 2.1 percent in both 2015 and 2016 instead of the currently expected 2.7 percent and 3 percent. That, in turn, would affect the calculations of central banks: the Fed would be less inclined to raise rates, the European Central Bank might keep rates at zero until perhaps 2020, and Japanese bond yields could remain at zero into 2017.
Surprisingly strong growth in China is scenario three. In that instance, China would fix its structural problems quickly and painlessly. "A stronger China," he says, "means strong world trade and GDP growth and faster rise in global bond yields." In the U.S., 10-year rates could rise toward 4.8 percent by 2020, while German bund rates might climb from their current 0.6 percent to 2.3 percent.
But there's a reason Oxford considers this the least likely scenario (Slater puts the odds at 15 percent). China's economy showed no signs of acceleration at the start of the second quarter: the most recent lending and investment data signaled the opposite. Fixed-asset investment, meanwhile, is the lowest in almost 15 years. Worse, China's default risks are soaring -- a side effect of a $20 trillion surge in credit since 2009 that's left many borrowers overextended.
Bond traders aren't the only ones keeping a closer eye on China's $9.2 trillion economy -- Yellen is, too. In February, she told Congress that for all the obsessing about Fed rates, foreign events "can pose risk to the U.S economic outlook." In China, she said, "economic growth could slow more than anticipated, as policy makers address financial vulnerabilities and manage the desired transition to less reliant on exports and investment as sources of growth."
If you sense a hint of anxiety in that quote, that's not an accident. Yellen is aware that she doesn't have nearly as much control over the fate of the U.S. economy -- and the fate of global bond markets -- as her reputation might suggest.

Dear Beloved Community,
Just a few short weeks ago, many of us gathered together to observe the 46th annual Atlanta Pride event. This year's event was a great success. We had record attendance and a more diverse crowd than ever before. We held our biggest Trans March, welcomed a beautiful array of performers, created our inaugural healing space, and provided intentional spaces for youth and elders. Many of us were energized about the impending election and all of the things we hoped it would bring.
For many, the Pride Festival serves as respite from a world that does not love and value us because of who we love, the color of our skin, where we come from, or our gender expression. For some of us, even the Pride Festival is not respite enough from these things, and for those people, we continue to work on ourselves as well as the world around us. This year's celebration happened against a backdrop of violence and resistance to violence, hope and a pressing need for change, excitement and exhaustion. And, just a few short weeks later, we are left with even more uncertainty about what the future holds for LGBTQ and allied people in our state and our country.
Since the recent presidential election, I have had many personal conversations with individuals I love and respect about where we go from here, but I have been quiet as the Executive Director of Atlanta Pride. It's been clear to me that we have a renewed responsibility to each other and our community to push forward, but I've been searching for exactly what that commitment looks like for a Pride organization. In recent years, Atlanta Pride has more than doubled our non-festival programming. In the last year, we have facilitated queer history events, events to highlight intimate partner violence in our community, racial justice talks, and interfaith dialogue. These events have been well attended and full of energy. We've invested in intentional partnerships with other queer and progressive organizations, and we've taken the opportunities to learn from other leaders in the movements for equality and freedom.
In 2016, we also recommitted our efforts to community reinvestment, allocating more than $35,000 to supporting other LGBTQ and allied organizations in the region. Atlanta Pride's commitment to giving back financially is long standing with the organization giving back more than $138,000 since 2005. Even in the financially difficult years after we were compelled to move from our June date, we continued to give because that giving is important to who we are.
And so, in response to these uncertain times, we see no other way but to redouble our efforts for justice. Atlanta Pride commits to further expanding our educational and social justice programming in 2017, shining our light on and offering support to those most vulnerable members of our community. We commit to continue doing the hard work of liberation and calling each other up with love inside our organization and across Pride organizations. We also commit to putting more of our resources on the line in a tangible way. As such, we are committing an additional $10,000 to community reinvestment before the year's end. We'll be giving these grants to organizations that are supporting those most affected by the results of the recent presidential election in our region. We seek applications from organizations led by queer people of color, immigrants, Muslims, transgender individuals, women, youth, and others on the margins. If you are a part of an organization or know of one that fits the bill, please fill out our application by December 5.
If there is anything about which I can be certain about right now, it's that we need each other. We need to call upon each other to be our own best selves, to care for ourselves and our community, and to support each other in that work. Our people have always been resilient, and we can use these hard times that we did not ask for to fuel our movement towards justice. We have a hope and a vision that will not be silenced. I cannot say that it will be easy, but I believe that we were made for this work in this time. I am grateful to be in the work with each one of you.
In love and Pride,
Jamie Fergerson
Executive Director
Atlanta Pride Committee

China's ambitious "One Belt, One Road" initiative could face funding problems as a highly likely rate rise from the US Federal Reserve would increase funding costs and China has imposed strict controls on capital outflow lately, an economist said on Friday.
Speaking at South China Morning Post's China Conference on Friday morning, Alicia García Herrero, chief economist for Asia Pacific from French bank Natixis, said in a panel discussion that it was not sustainable for China to drain its forex reserves to fund large overseas infrastructure projects on the Belt and Road initiative, which left room for Hong Kong to be a alternate source of offshore funding in US dollars.
"Constraints in US dollar financing are very strong in China now. I think China will look for alliances for the belt and road," Herrero said. "Hong Kong is well positioned because this is a financial centre where you get about a trillion US dollars out every year, which is not minor. If you can redirect a bit of that into the Belt and Road, that is already big enough."
Since 2014, when the Chinese yuan started depreciating, China has lost more than US$800 billion in its foreign reserves, some of which was used to stabilise the yuan's exchange rate as it aims at becoming a global reserve currency. This year, the yuan has faced strong depreciation pressure as the US economy rebounds and a rate rise at the end of this year seems almost certain. Strong depreciation expectation on the yuan has provoked capital outflow, leading Beijing to tighten outbound direct investment and the amount of yuan that Chinese companies can remit overseas.
China's belt and road can take its cues from the world's first model of globalisation
"That makes it [the funding difficulty] even more so. If China Development Bank raises its funding in Hong Kong, and lends it directly to Russia, that's not an outflow for China," Herrero said.
However, co-panellist Hu Yifan, regional chief investment officer of Greater China at UBS, said on the sidelines of the conference that the rising cost of funding overseas infrastructure seemed inevitable as interest rate hikes, such as in the United States, are a trend that is supported by increasing inflation and growth rates globally.
"Cheap funding is likely gone … Relatively speaking, the funding for the belt and road projects that is initiated by policy banks such as China Development Bank is still cheap," Hu said.
Hu said it was a misconception to think the government would fund all the projects on the Belt and Road because the private sector, including state-owned enterprises, had shown much interest in taking on these projects as well, and these investment opportunities simply outweighed controls on capital outflow, which was "manageable".
'One Belt, One Road' infrastructure seen as catalyst for new trade growth
"Even if we double our forex reserve, the government won't be able to fund all the projects on the Belt and Road. Capital outflow control is targeted … As long as the Chinese government thinks it's a good investment it will be easy to get (money) out."
According to Herrero, Russia and Pakistan are currently the two largest recipients of lending from China for projects on the Belt and Road, and Europe could be the biggest beneficiary of China's infrastructure investment to date, which could reduce the cost of transportation by up to 50 per cent and increase trade flow.
Both panellists agreed that as the United Kingdom exits the European Union, it would be difficult for it to negotiate new trade deals with the other members of the EU and countries that have trade treaties with the EU in the two-year window period.
"It's almost a mission impossible," Hu said.

On average, listings lease in the $10's per square foot per year. The Saint Charles submarket is going through a decrease in rates. In the last 3 months, the median rate decreased $0 per sqft per year. That's a 2% decrease in rent.
In the last 90 days, 33 listings have been posted online, which means leases are probably going fast. You'll want to be prepared to tour spaces as quick as possible. About 3% of the available leases in the Saint Charles are subleases, so you will probably have to consider a longer term lease. There aren't many listings below 2,000 square feet on the market, so finding a space for a small business might be tough.
The standard measurement for office space in this area is around 2,500 sqft. Most properties in this area are close to 2 floors. Most buildings in this market were built in 1998 and are Class B.
Not much of the real estate is used for commercial space, so it might be hard to find office space. Manufacturing is the dominant industry in this region. Commute by motorcycle is the most popular way to get to work amongst Saint Charles residents. Commuting around 15 minutes a day is the norm for those who opt to reside in this part of town.

The Kink Spectrum Analysis Test
Their result for The Kink Spectrum Analysis Test ...
Blue (450 nm)
You scored 69% self-confidence and 70% bandwidth!
Wow! You have quite a big repertoire when it comes to kinky sex. And you're probably also willing to play on either side of the fence. You should look for another Blue, or an Ultraviolet if you want to broaden your horizon. Greens may be okay as well but will probably bore you after a while. Reds are too vanilla for you.
But I promised you a more detailed analysis, so here it is. Note that most scales are twofold: There are separate values for giving (active) and receiving (passive). If you scored high on one of them, you should look for a partner who scored high on the other. If you scored high on both of them, go for someone who is similar (or for multiple partners if you're into that). If you scored low on both, this probably is not your kind of kink.
You scored 60% giving and 62% receiving on oral.
You scored 22% giving and 50% receiving on anal.
You scored 38% giving and 86% receiving on bondage.
You scored 41% giving and 43% receiving on humiliation.
You scored 67% giving and 81% receiving on pain.
You scored 61% dominance and 50% submission.
You scored 79% voyeurism and 58% exhibitionism.
Besides that, you're 75% into fetishism and 76% polysexual (i.e. interested in sex with multiple partners, whether at the same time or not). You'll probably want a partner who is similar, whether you scored high or low in these categories.
Finally, you scored 67% on autoerotic - a scale that measures your ability and/or willingness to have kinky fun without a partner. It's not exactly a matching criterion, but it's good for you if your score is high. Keep it up!
Their Analysis (Vertical line = Average)
They scored 70% on bandwidth, higher than 94% of your peers.
They scored 43% on humiliationr, higher than 76% of your peers.
They scored 41% on humiliationg, higher than 67% of your peers.

Highly regarded for her looks and performances alike, Samantha is one of the top league actresses in Tamil and Telugu. With her latest release 'S/O Satyamurthy' crossing the $1 Million milestone in the US, Samantha has achieved a rare feat rather silently. The actress now has 6 $1 Million films out of the 12 films that earned more than $1 Million in the US.
In the past, Samantha starrer 'Manam', 'Dookudu', 'Atharintiki Dharedi', 'Seethamma Vaakitlo Sirimalle Chettu' and 'Eega' crossed the $1 Million milestone. This is indeed a great feat for any heroine and Sam must be mighty thrilled with her accomplishment.
This year, Samantha will be seen in a spate of Tamil films in which she teamed up several top stars.

Successful treatment of profound hypothermia of the newborn
Konopova Patricia, Department of Neonatology,

Tel: +42 0775063162 |

Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
We report a case of a profoundly hypothermic newborn with a core temperature of 25°C with a successful recovery and normal neurological outcome at 3 and 6 months. This term male infant had been exposed to a temperature of −3°C for approximately 30 min. Slow re-warming, using external modalities was used in addition to volume expansion, heparinization, antibiotics and sedation. There is limited information available concerning the safest and most effective method of re-warming hypothermic newborns. Slow re-warming has been advocated as it replicates the normal physiological process in a neonate, which minimizes a negative therapy impact.
Conclusion: The most significant decision regarding treatment is the identification of the most appropriate method and speed of re-warming. This report supports recommendations for gradual re-warming of a severely hypothermic newborn. Physiological cardiovascular mechanisms seemed to be intact during slow re-warming; this might be applicable to the treatment of profound hypothermia of the newborn.

Sheek Louch Biography (Wikipedia)
Sean Divine Jacobs (born November 9, 1976), better known as Sheek Louch (also known as Donnie Def Jam and "Donnie G"), is a rapper and member of The LOX and founder of D-Block Records, along with Styles P and Jadakiss.
At around the age of 12, he was inspired to rhyme by his friend Jason Phillips (Jadakiss). He and Jason would later form The LOX with Styles P. Mary J. Blige "discovered" the trio, and they would soon be signed to Sean Combs's Bad Boy Records. Their first album, Money, Power & Respect, was released on January 13, 1998.
Sheek and his fellow LOX members later parted ways with Bad Boy Records, and joined the Ruff Ryders group, which included DMX. The group's second album, We Are the Streets, was released on January 25, 2000. Meanwhile, Sheek, an aspiring entrepreneur, began working on their D-Block brand, building a studio, and looking for new talent to join their roster. He also opened a D-Block car wash and D-Block "fitteds" around the same time.
Sheek released his solo debut Walk Witt Me on Universal Records through D-Block Records. Early promotional material, such as within the liner notes of Styles P's album A Gangster and a Gentleman, indicate that the album's original title was Walk With Me.

Hugo and Miriam Burgos
Founders Diamond
Curiosity Brings Rewards – Hugo Burgos says he was never one to pay much attention to coincidences. That is, until the day he stopped to visit his cousin. "Someone was showing him the AMWAY™ Business," recalls Hugo.
A few weeks later, he overheard a phone conversation the same cousin was having about an event at a nearby hotel in relation to the business. Although his cousin wasn't interested in going, Hugo's curiosity got the best of him, and he decided on the spot to go see for himself what this was all about.
So Hugo basically explored the business on his own, before he even had a sponsor. After attending yet another seminar, he came home and said to Miriam, "I have found a way to become a professional!"
"We feel that our real mission is to help others help themselves." – Hugo Burgos
She didn't share his enthusiasm. "I thought it was mostly about selling and I'm a very shy person, so I didn't think it was for me," she recalls. But then she attended a seminar herself and, "I was fascinated," she says. "I saw how people treated one another, especially the husbands and wives; there was so much harmony. So when they showed us the Plan I thought, 'This business is for us.'"
Hugo's background is in martial arts; he was an instructor for a special armed forces team. At 45 years old, he felt the business offered him a way not to be dependent on anyone else for earning his living. Miriam, too, had been working for someone else for more than 20 years.
"I didn't think I had a brain for business," says Hugo. "But then I realized that this business is really very simple. We just make it more complicated in our minds."
He says he became a different person after they began achieving some success. His confidence grew and he felt so much acceptance from his group that his whole perception of life changed.
Miriam says that when they hit Emerald level, "We were feeling a little too comfortable. We had come from nothing and so achieving that success was enough for us."
Their upline encouraged them to focus on helping others achieve what they had. "When we started doing that, things began to change again," she says.
"We realized it's not about the income or getting an SUV; what's important is helping others who are as thankful for this opportunity as we are," says Hugo. "It's extraordinary."
The average monthly Gross Income for "active" IBOs was $202.
Approximately 46% of all IBOs were active.
U.S. IBOs were considered "active" in months in 2010 when they attempted to make a retail sale, or presented the Amway IBO Compensation Plan, or received bonus money, or attended an Amway or IBO meeting. "Gross Income" means the amount received from retail sales, minus the cost of goods sold, plus monthly bonuses and cash incentives. It excludes all annual bonuses and cash incentives, and all non-cash awards. There may be significant business expenses, mostly discretionary, that may be greater in relation to income in the first years of operation.

Claire Burch
Charles Darwin in Cyberspace: A Novel

Book DescriptionThis novel about Emma Wedgewood, wife of Charles Darwin, centers around her hallucinative mind. Her grief at the death of their child Annie is given a bizarre twist by some ergot mold on the bread she uses for her pudding; her world becomes the twentieth century. Burch presents her husband?s sympathetic letters which contain fragments from Darwin?s Expression of the Emotions In Man and Animals and contributions from other characters such as the social worker and Emma?s unusual later offspring, Ralph Waldo Business Administration. Claire Burch, whose abilities with fiction are complemented by her previous research and publications in psychiatry, experiments with narrative voice by apparently doing away with it. This technique is striking, like overhearing a conversation of strangers in the dark. Are these the imaginings of Charles Darwin?s wife, or is she someone who thinks she?s Darwin?s wife? She lives in our time or does she just think...

Prepayment Rates Slow as Rates Rise
Prepayment rates on 30-year fixed-rate mortgages in agency mortgage-backed securities fell 14% in July, according to Bear Stearns & Co. The decline reflected a two-day reduction in the business calendar and a 6-basis-point sell-off in mortgage rates, said Bear Stearns senior managing directors Dale Westhoff and V.S. Srinivasan.
Fannie Mae 30-year collateral recorded a constant prepayment rate of 10.7 CPR overall for the month, down 1.7 CPR from that of June, the analysts reported. "The decline in speeds was uniformly distributed across the coupon stack, with almost every coupon showing a 14% to 15% decline," they said.
The speeds of 30-year Freddie Mac collateral declined a little less than those of corresponding Fannie Mae loans, but remained "marginally slower" in most MBS coupons and vintages, the analysts said.
Overall speeds on Ginnie Mae collateral fell from 16.2 CPR in June to 14.4 CPR in May, an 11% decline.
"The Ginnie-Conventional prepayment gap now has an interesting pattern," said Mr. Westhoff and Mr. Srinivasan, noting that Ginnie Maes are paying "significantly faster" than conventionals on most cohorts originated before 2005 but "slightly slower" than conventionals on recent 2006 vintages. Meanwhile, the 2005 vintage has gone from paying slower to paying faster.
"The slower speeds on the 2005/2006 vintage can mostly be attributed to the change in the refund policy for upfront [mortgage insurance] payments," the analysts said. "The recent pickup in speeds on the 2005 vintage (relative to conventionals) is primarily because FHA has relaxed the constraints on cash-out refinancing for loans with more than 12 months of seasoning."
Regarding 15-year Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac collateral, speeds declined by 13%, comparable to the decline in 30-year speeds. Among agency hybrids, prepayments fell by 12%.
Despite the recent rise in mortgage rates, the analysts said they expect speeds to increase 10% in August, mainly because of a three-day increase in the business calendar. But in the longer term, "we expect a steady decline in speeds," they said.
In other prepayment-related news, Friedman Billings Ramsey & Co. recently reported that the speeds of subprime residential mortgage-backed securities rose across most vintages in June.
The speed of fixed-rate subprime RMBS issued in 2005 increased by 19.3%, to 30.3 CPR, and the speed of their adjustable-rate counterparts increased by 11.7%, to 35.3 CPR, FBR's Michael D. Youngblood reported.
Moody's Investors Service recently launched the publication of what it called "the first installment" of monthly indices that track the performance of securitized jumbo mortgage pools.
The Jumbo Mortgage Indexes track the delinquency, loss and prepayment trends of approximately $530 billion (in original issue balances) of residential mortgage loans rated by Moody's. The rating agency said the loans support 1,777 jumbo mortgage pools from 808 transactions issued since 2001.
Moody's reported that delinquencies of 60 days or more "fell steadily" from the middle of 2003 to the third quarter of 2005, a strong performance that stemmed from several factors, including high prepayments. The rating agency said prepayment trends have closely followed interest rate movements.
"Prepayments have fallen dramatically since the summer of 2003, when 30-year mortgage rates were at their lowest point and mortgage holders, particularly fixed-rate borrowers, refinanced in large numbers," Moody's said.

Feeling rather down tonight. We havent been 'trying'. Just dtd whenever we feel like it. I have been temping though, FF reckons I have Oed but I dont believe it. I feel really crappy knowing that even if I did O that nothing is going to come of it anyway. It really sucks. I think maybe the worst thing about the whole infertility thing is that you really just have absolutely no control at all over anything. I really struggle with that because it doesnt matter how much I wish and hope and will an egg to fertilize and stick I literally cant do anything about it. Blah! Still on the fence about taking clomid again. I cant seem to talk myself into it and DH is no help in the matter
So excited about the latest round of BFPs!
I've got an appointment with my FS this week, so probably going to discuss us doing IVF. Scared, nervous and excited all in one.

Just got back from holidays with hubby where we tried so hard to get pregnant and I've started spotting. Af due Friday. I'm seriously starting to consider giving up completely. Doing Ivf is never going to happen for us due to cost.

Congrats peulia!!
Progesterone really good at 142, the Gestone doing it's job. Now I have a nasty chest infection and have to take antibiotics... hope all the coughing doesn't dislodge the little eggie
Firstly Congrats to @Petulia ! I am heading to Capetown for FET ( fresh was a BFN) in 3 weeks for a transfer on the 21st if anyone is there at all??
My FS here had me taking Prednisone 20mg 2 days before transfer, I see some of you were taking it alot earlier in the cycle. I am happy to try taking a smaller dose earlier on and increasing up to 20mg, if it may be beneficial.
Also I am sniffing Synarel currently - But I have a nasty cold and so lots of snot ( sorry!) - am worried it may not absorb properly. I am waiting 10 minutes after to blow my nose - but its like a tap at the moment.

St. Louis banks post $69 million profit through Q2
Seventy-five banks headquartered in St. Louis posted a total profit of $69 million in the first half of the year, far better than the $31.4 million loss they showed during the first half of last year, the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis reported Tuesday.
Two banks that have been losing money consistently were a drag on the results: First Bank, the largest bank based here, with $6.9 billion in assets, lost $17 million through June 30, compared with its loss of $86.9 million through June 30, 2010. Reliance Bank, the sixth largest bank based here, with $1.15 billion in assets, lost $12.2 million, compared with a loss of $3.3 million at this time last year. They were the only banks among the 10 largest that lost money.
The profit leaders through the first half were Enterprise Bank & Trust, with $19.5 million in net income; First National Bank of St. Louis, with $9.8 million; Stifel Bank & Trust, with $8.1 million; and Bank of Edwardsville, with $5 million.
Bad loans, called nonperforming loans because they are paying no interest, totaled $900 million at the 75 banks, compared with $1.07 billion in the second quarter of 2010. Total loans were $20.6 billion, compared with $26.1 billion at the same time last year.
The 2010 numbers encompassed 78 banks but declined by three as a result of sales of banks to companies headquartered elsewhere.
Also announced Tuesday: Reliance Bancshares, the parent of Reliance Bank, has entered into an agreement with the St. Louis Fed to maintain sufficient capital, reduce debt and improve cash flow. The agreement follows one signed in February with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. also aimed at improving its operations.
Last month, the U.S. Treasury named two members to the First Bank board of directors in an effort to improve results. It was the first time the Treasury has elected board members to the boards of TARP banks, a Treasury spokesman said.

The FMLA is difficult to administer, especially now that it has been amended to include additional time off in connection with military service. Plus, new FMLA regulations make more workers eligible for leave if they care for a child. Rest assured that if you promptly fix an innocent mistake when it's brought to your attention, you won't be automatically liable for FMLA interference.
FMLA Guidelines
We'll assist you in tracking and managing intermittent FMLA leave … fighting FMLA fraud and FMLA abuse … and managing FMLA in general.
Beyond mastering FMLA regulations on intermittent leave, we'll share FMLA guidelines on how to curb FMLA abuse, and dramatically improve your overall FMLA compliance.
Q. An employee has requested FMLA leave to care for her 5-year-old niece who is recovering from heart surgery. The employee's sister and her daughter live with the employee. Is leave under these circumstances protected under the FMLA?
Here's good news for employers trying to manage FMLA leave and prevent abuse: If an employee's FMLA certification form is incomplete or vague, you don't have to accept it … you can deny FMLA leave to that person. Just make sure you give the employee at least seven calendar days to correct deficiencies on the form.
Some new parents don't want to come back to work full time after giving birth. They may prefer a part-time schedule, using intermittent FMLA leave. But you don't have to allow intermittent leave following birth unless the infant suffers from a serious health condition.

McDonald's making changes to Dollar Menu
Published: Wednesday, September 11, 2013 at 3:12 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, September 11, 2013 at 3:12 p.m.
The world's biggest hamburger chain says it has been testing versions of its famous value menu that's called "Dollar Menu & More" in five markets across the country. The company noted that no official changes have yet been made to its current Dollar Menu, which was introduced more than a decade ago.
The change would come after McDonald's unsuccessful attempt last year to get customers to switch from the Dollar Menu to a pricier "Extra Value Menu," which features items costing closer to $2. But after sales flagged, the company went back to aggressively touting its Dollar Menu in TV ads.
If the new "Dollar Menu & More" is rolled out, the Extra Value Menu would be retired, said Neil Golden, chief marketing officer for McDonald's, which is based in Oak Brook, Ill.
"We didn't deliver on simplicity and clarity," Golden said of the Extra Value Menu.
The Dollar Menu & More that was tested has three price points — $1, $2 and $5 or "shareable" items such as 20-piece McNuggets. Another version that was tested has prices of $1, $1.79 and $4.99. The menu includes more chicken items, as well as versions of its burgers that come with an extra beef patty or toppings such as bacon.
Golden declined to provide specifics, but said the menu provided "a broader range of profitability" for restaurants. He said the overall percentage of sales generated by the revamped Dollar Menu in tests was "similar" to that of the Dollar Menu. McDonald's has said in the past that its Dollar Menu accounts for about 14 percent of sales.
McDonald's has had to swap out items on its Dollar Menu over the years as costs for ingredients such as beef have climbed. When it was first introduced, for example, the flagship offering on the Dollar Menu was the Big 'N Tasty, which was made with a quarter-pound beef patty.
The most substantial burger on the menu now is the McDouble, which comes with two patties and a slice of cheese. In the tests, the company said the price of the McDouble was pushed up to $1.19 in some markets.

Every woman knows that a purse is a must have accessory when you go out.
It's also important to know how to match it with your clothing. Most of the times the choice is not easy but certainly entertaining.
In summer it's even more difficult to find the right matching due to the different range of colours of your clothing.
Specially this summer which fashion trend is particular full of bright colors.
The fashion addicts are well informed about this trends and have been paying carful attention to the accessories: shoes, handbags and belts for those special occation parties were to show off their good or even bad taste.
I can make an example of the most used colours this summer: shocking pink, lilac, green, yellow and white, will predominate.
Coming back to the purses, the first requirement that must have a bag for spring / summer 2009, is surely the capacity.
We suggest a maxi bag. It must also be comfortable, practical and stylish.
The bag must be worn completely over his shoulder.
Second characteristic is the color: light green, pink, fucsia, but more generaly the bright colors are cheerful.
We also suggest high-fashion bags in forest green, yellow, red, and last but not least fuchsia.
That's right, the fuchsia is ultra-feminine and perfect for summer, and also if you think about these colors and it's vibrant essence, you will realise that you can find many combinations of colors, especially those with primary or neutral.
As for materials, the bags must not necessarily be of soft leather or fine canvas but can also be of raffia.
