I stayed at Casa Buena Vista B&B for the first 4 nights of my 3 week trip to Costa Rica. It was quite affordable. I traveled the entire country and this location had probably the best view from the room, breakfast area, and guesthouse in general. There was a private road that led right down to the beach not to far from the house. It was a short walk to the other attractions and restaurants. The price was well worth it compared to the other nearby locations. We stayed in a room that was connected to a common area that had a kitchen, dining area, and living room. It felt like we had a whole house to ourselves even with other travelers staying at the location. The balcony had a hammock that was next to the rest of the sitting area. It was great being able to have some drinks, chill on the balcony with the ocean-view, and socialize with other travelers each night.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- Manuel Antonio's million dollar post card view with a budget price. A clean and friendly home style bed and breakfast 10 min from the beach with a rainforest/ocean view. Monkeys and sloths come right up to the edge of the deck. ... more less

- Casa Buena Vista B & B Costa Rica/Quepos

Any Tips for a 2 man Time Trial?
(3 posts)
Any Tips for a 2 man Time Trial?
Sep 2, 2003 2:52 AM
A friend and I will compete for the first time this Sunday in a 2 man team time trial.
It's 20.5km, nearly 13 miles, with about 150 to 200m of climbing.
We are both quite similar in level, me 61kg, him 68, both on Trek 5200's. I am the better climber, he is better into the wind and on the flat.
So any tips for a good time? Obviously close drafting is key, but how many changeovers would one expect in a race like this? 10, 20? Assuming neither person is tired, I would imagine the fewer changeovers the better, as when you change you are side by side for a few seconds.
I have Veloflex 23mm Pave tyres. Is there much gain in going to 20mm?
Also, what kind of speed/time should we be looking for? I thought if we got 40km/h that would be quite good.
Thanks for any help!
uh, "stay together"?
Sep 2, 2003 11:07 AM
Just kidding.
Actually, one thing than might help immensely is if both of you use mirrors, like the Take A Look that clips on to your glasses. You can see exactly where your drafting team mate is, which may keep you together better. Also helps to see a team approaching from the rear, motivating you to go harder. I've used them in many timetrials and ultra events (actually long timetrials), and they really help.
All else equal, few changes are better, as you lose a bike length of distance gained every time one pulls off. I've found that about 60 second pulls work well with two people. Or, set a heart rate monitor, and pull until an alarm goes off for your pre-selected "about to blow" zone.
re:Many options (anyone else got any ideas?)
Sep 5, 2003 5:08 AM
I wouldn't worry about tyres, efficient team work will be the key.
You need to find the best system for you and your partner. The options aren't just limited to pulling off the front when you get tired. One simple system is as follows -
-Rider 1 leads, motoring at just over their threshold pace until after about a minute they feel themselves 'tying up' from the effort.
-At this point they wave the old elbow out to indicate their exhaustion to the following rider, and then gradually edge off the pace holding the same line.
-If the following rider does not come through the lead rider continues edging off the pace to a sustainable level.
It is important to indicate with the elbow before you start going too deep into the red just in case the following rider has not recovered - you also have to be ready to catch the wheel that comes past you.
The guy I use this sytem with is pretty evenly matched to me pace-wise, we are both quite punchy riders with a bit of sprint in our legs.
This system is not the optimum for efficiency but has eliminated confusion from our riding. The more practice you can get the better - at a realistic pace too, co-ordination/communication is difficult !
On the climbs the emphasis on drafting is going to be less, on a steep climb the better climber should lead over the top of the climb taking great care not to lose the following rider as the pace increases back to cruising.
There is a lot to think about - it is great fun too ! Good luck.

Lewis Hamilton has been fined around £450 by a French court for speeding, having been caught doing 122mph in a Mercedes near the northern town of Laon last year.
The McLaren driver had already paid a fine and been banned for a month for the original offence, but was given an extra punishment during a fresh hearing.
Although Hamilton was not present in court, his lawyer Jean-Francois Veroux said that Hamilton had offered to participate in a road safety campaign.
Veroux was quoted as saying by the AFP news agency: "For him (Hamilton) it's as if he had made a mistake during a Grand Prix because he is aware of his responsibility towards young people".

Initially, it was quite difficult to make any sense of what this movement might be. It seemed to only repeat a previous 1980's situation, where 'movement' conservatism opposes itself to non-conservatism, i.e. the radicalism of anti-Catholic and anti-middle-class American Zionism.
What had occurred earlier, after Reagan, had been a situation where many conservatives had begun to say the Republican Party was not any longer run by conservatives, but rather by 'neoconservatives.' With time, the idea of 'neoconservative' took on a very specific meaning, referring to people who called themselves 'conservatives' while suggesting, national borders were not a normal part of conservative tradition. Matters were only made worse by an additional feature of the 'new' neoconservatives: all these neoconservatives were greatly in favour of the State of Israel and in U.S. efforts to support that Mideast state. So, originally a 'neoconservative' was something like a recent, moderate convert to 'conservatism' – i.e., to the thinking of pro-free market types, of Burke, of Russell Kirk, etc. – but by the end of the 1980's the term meant: a proponent of mass immigration from the developing world and a staunch ally of Israel, who nonetheless did not feel at home in the Democrat Party.
Ordinary and humdrum conservatives, believing in common sense and Catholicism, a good dose of markets and Burke, etc., felt themselves totally exiled from the Republican Party and its 'neoconservatives.' For some reason, many of them then began calling themselves 'paleoconservatives,' i.e. the old conservatives, not the new. However, despite this fancy label, the ideas defended were as boring and traditional as possible, straightforward Tory thinking, and nothing radical at all. Nonetheless, soon it is seen as appropriate to begin to suggest ideas along the lines of 'Tories are "alt right", and normal conservative Republicans think it is fine and good to allow demographic catastrophe to happen.' In other words, it is now said to be somehow 'radical' to imagine, reducing the former majority ethnic group to minority status, might be socially disruptive.
So, what has occurred, is that an idea, which is just a simple idea of 'conservatism,' as expounded at length by Edmund Burke and Russell Kirk, is soon no longer allowed to be left at that, but must be called new things, such as 'paleoconservative,' 'alt right,' etc. There is a fraud shift of labels, allowing the installations of policies and cultures traditionally at home only in Communist parties, as normal for GOP, etc. The anti-Communist ideas, are exiled to 'the fever swamps.' The half-Communists, now call themselves 'mainstream conservatism.' Etc. At the same time, it is not entirely a victory for the far-left, as indeed, only some Leftist ideas are inserted into the Republican DNA: definitely no ideas that have anything to do, with restraining the power of the ultra-wealthy!
Richard Spencer
The 'alt right' carries over many ideas of historic conservatism, and re-announces the 'paleoconservative' disdain for the fraud of neoconservatism. Regardless, in terms of how the term 'alt right' is typically used, it seems to be more specifically a question of a social network revolving around the far-right American figure, Richard Spencer. It can be difficult to separate alt right thinking from Spencerism. My investigation of Spencer does not place him as a 'neo-Nazi,' but as coming out of the Ku Klux Klan movements of the American South. Likewise, less than there being a new alt right 'philosophy,' Spencer is more of a street fighter and activist, who relies on what went before him, e.g. Friedrich Nietzsche, Julius Evola, Alain De Benoist, Francois Duprat, Jared Taylor, Patrick Buchanan, Thomas Fleming, etc. Spencer has his 'philosophy,' which seems somewhat Nietzschean and also biological-reductionist and Darwinian, but largely he is a kind of specialist in media relations, fulminating for his own brand of white nationalism. There is a significant amount of anti-Semitic content via Spencer's praise for Kevin MacDonald.
'The Alternative Right, commonly known as the Alt-Right, is a set of far-right ideologies, groups and individuals whose core belief is that "white identity" is under attack by multicultural forces using "political correctness" and "social justice" to undermine white people and "their" civilization. Characterized by heavy use of social media and online memes, Alt-Righters eschew "establishment" conservatism, skew young, and embrace white ethno-nationalism as a fundamental value.' –Southern Poverty Law Institute
I will further add: 'The Alternative Right blames Jews as principle agents of "social justice" ideologies tied to mass immigration from the developing world, and in general tends to cast Jews as the cause of otherwise-inexplicable, negative social phenomena, e.g. supposed media bias against conservative politics.'
Conclusion – 'Conservative' to 'Alt Right'
Conservatism is one thing, and the 'alt right,' something else. The second label is somewhat up for grabs but it seems now heavily tied to Spencerism. The media has a tendency to label conservatism, as 'alt right,' and neoconservatism, as 'conservatism.' Conservatism shares with the alt right, an interest in border control and some normal ideas of national interest, but further has many differences, most notably in that postwar period conservatives have tended to try to hide their anti-Semitism – and now many so-called 'conservatives' are not even anti-Semitic with which to begin. Likewise, neoconservatism shares very little with either the alt right or conservatism, excepting a (supposed) rejection of 'hard Left' economics.

'AVOIDING THE ISSUE,' Lawrence Auster, National Review, February 21, 1994, provides some information on the open borders side of the equation.

I'm a self-taught pencil artist, originally from Japan, and currently living in Duncan, BC, Canada, with my husband and two sons.
Art has always been a part of my life. Many of my family members have artistic and creative minds, and ever since I was a child, I have been influenced by their beautiful works.
I like all sorts of arts and crafts, but I particularly enjoy drawing. I've always been fascinated by the simple beauty of art created using nothing more than a pencil and paper.
In the beginning of my drawing career I was mainly working on portraits, but in recent years, I've discovered a passion and love for creating fantasy themed art. The majority of my artwork is done in graphite pencil. I also work with coloured pencils and other media from time to time.

Europe is more unstable than it has been for generations. Some say that it has not been this dangerous since the Cold War. But at least during the Cold War the conflict was structured and there was a degree of predictability—even if it was Mutually Assured Destruction. Today the situation is unpredictable and unstructured. The rule of law and the laws of war have been bent or broken. Furthermore, there is almost no dialogue between Russia and the West. To avoid war there must be dialogue.
The official motto of the OSCE Security Days in Prague on 18-19 May 2017 was "Countering fragmentation and polarization" with the aim of "re-creating a climate for stability in Europe". The "OSCE Security Days" are OSCE Secretary General Lamberto Zannier's brainchild. He launched this particular dialogue forum in June 2012 with the aim of bringing together experts from government, think tanks and academic institutions, civil society, youth, and media to engage in an informal and interactive discussion on 21st-century threats and challenges. Here are five takeaways from the conference.
In this interview, Sergey Markedonov shares his views on the Ukraine conflict and provides suggestions on how to unblock the impasse with regard to the Minsk Agreements. He also explains why, in his view, NATO enlargement was a mistake. He calls for a serious dialogue on European security between Russia and the West. Sergey Markedonov is Associate Professor at the Russian State University for the Humanities in Moscow. He is also an expert at the Russian International Affairs Council. He has written extensively on post-Soviet conflicts in academic journals and international media.
On 23 May, the OSCE-wide counter-terrorism conference opened with a moment of silence for the victims of the terror attack in Manchester last night. OSCE Chairperson-in-Office, Austrian Foreign Minster Sebastian Kurz, stated that "this is another day with terrible news, another day that leads us to question how people can commit such barbaric attacks". Foreign Minister Kurz called on all OSCE participating States to stand together and to "fight terrorism with all means we have".
The OSCE Special Monitoring Mission (SMM) is the only organization on the ground in eastern Ukraine that provides impartial facts about a confusing conflict that has been going on since 2014. During the past three years, the OSCE SMM has performed essential work in a dangerous conflict environment for which it receives far too little attention and recognition. The roughly 600 international, unarmed, civilian OSCE monitors go on patrol daily in the Donbass region to monitor the ceasefire that has been agreed upon in the Minsk Agreements. Last Sunday, such an OSCE patrol ended in a fatal incident.
In 2015 the OSCE Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (ODIHR) started a multi-year programme to strengthen dialogue among civil society and with key government stakeholders in order to bolster security in Ukraine. The programme itself consists of numerous smaller projects, focusing on human rights, democratization, and tolerance and non-discrimination. This article by guest author Marc Van Gool explores the method that was used by ODIHR to build the capacity of civil society organizations in Ukraine to monitor human rights.

Warnings: Lemon. Mature content. If you aren't capable of dealing with sex in a mature fashion, leave now.
The bedroom was dark and cool, the windows covered with heavy curtains. A few small slivers of moonlight painted thin lines along the far wall, slicing across dark sheets. Hinata could smell sword oil and metal, cologne and soap, all underlaid with the faint, bitter scent of poison. She closed her eyes. Her hands slowly traced the line of his spine, down his back to slide under his shirt. The muscles of his back were sculpted and defined, the skin marked by scars of assorted age. He shuddered as she slowly traced one scar in particular, a long, narrow slice that ran from his left shoulder blade down to disappear into his jeans.
Genma's breath was hot against her skin as he mumbled, "I was fourteen, and sure that I could beat this skinny chuunin. I won, but he did manage to slice me up pretty good." Genma raised his head to look at her face. Her eyes were still closed, her lips slightly parted. As he watched, her tongue flicked out to wet her bottom lip. He kissed her again, his arms wrapping around her, his fingers slipping just under the edge of her shirt. Her skin was smooth and soft, with far fewer scars than his.
Genma broke the kiss, releasing her and stepping back until he felt the bed brush against his legs. He caught her hands, tugging her forward until she was close enough. He turned sideways, sinking onto the bed. She gave a small gasp, then slowly seated herself next to him. Genma flopped onto his side and grinned. "What do you want to do tonight?"
Hinata studied the man sprawling next to her. She reached out and pushed his shirt off his shoulders, then placed both of her hands on his chest. She could feel his heart pounding, to her amazement it matched her own heartbeat. He shifted, pulling first one arm, and then the other free from his shirt, tossing it into a corner. Hinata slid her hands up his chest, her fingers tracing his collarbones, then up to cup his face. She leaned over his body, excited yet nervous, to breathe her words across his lips. "I want to do all the things my friends talk about. I want to kiss and lick and taste every part of you." She kissed him, her tongue determined and soft and Genma's head spun with the ideas her words unleashed.
Genma moaned into her mouth, his hands coming up to hold her in place. When he finally broke away they were panting, their mouths inches apart. He pulled her down next to him, his hands quickly finding their way under her shirt. A gentle tug and it was sliding up her body, revealing pale skin and dark lace. She yanked her arms free then pulled him in for another kiss. The lace of her bra scratched at his nipples, and Genma jerked at the sensations. He kissed her chin, then moved down her neck, kisses like a trail he would follow. He liked the tops of her breasts, a smile creeping across his face at the shivers that raced over her skin. His hands slid under her body, quickly finding and attacking the tiny hooks that held her bra in place. A moment's work and he was pulling the lacy covering away.
Hinata's first thought was to cover herself. 'I want this so much, but what if he doesn't?' She peeked through her lashes to see his face, then closed her eyes as she felt his rough, callused hands cup her breasts. He dragged his thumbs over her nipples, causing her to whimper in surprise and pleasure.
Genma's mind froze at the sight of her, milky pale skin tipped with dark, rosy nipples. He squeezed gently, then lowered his head to suck her nipple into his mouth. His tongue rasped against the bit of flesh, and he let his lower body collapse against hers. Her hand rose to tangle in his hair, holding him in place. Genma kept his right hand busy massaging her other breast. She moaned, squirming beneath him and pulling his hair, until Genma finally relented and released her nipple.
"Please-I-I've," Hinata panted, her fingers still tangled in his hair, her body hot and tingly. "Please. J-just, please."
Genma pushed himself up, leaning over her body and casting his face into shadows. "Please, what? Please touch you? Kiss you?" His head dipped down, "Lick you?", his voice breathed hot and moist across her skin, "Tell me, baby. Tell me what you want me to do."
Hinata groaned. "Um, roll over." She felt his chuckle, his mouth was rubbing against her breast, and the heat washing over her body blazed up again. He did as she had asked, though, rolling over to smirk at her. Hinata very carefully did not look at his pants and the bulge that had previously been pressed against her thigh. Instead she stood and quickly kicked her shoes off, then, with a small, shy glance at his chest, she reached for the zipper on her skirt. The soft silk fell down to puddle at her feet, and Hinata glanced back again to find he had raised up on one arm, his gaze fixed upon her.
Genma had never heard a sound as erotic as the soft rasp of the zipper. For a moment the world stopped moving as she simply stood there and watched him watch her. Her tiny bikini panties left just enough to his imagination. He watched her walk back to the bed, graceful and silent. She knelt next to him and reached to touch his mouth.
Hinata locked her gaze on his mouth, one finger slowly tracing his lips. "Your turn."
Genma blinked, startled at her words. He kissed her fingertip, then slid off the bed in one easy movement. He turned to face her, staring directly into her face as kicked off his own shoes, then popped the button on his jeans. The zipper was next, then Genma was stepping away from the denim, back to the bed where she was waiting.
'No underwear! Ino says that's called commando. I think I like this.' Hinata watched him come back to the bed, his body formed of strong muscle and his movement deadly silent. He stopped just short of the bed, and waited for her reaction. Hinata blushed, her head tilting forward to hide behind her hair. The man in front of her smiled before reaching to embrace her. He whispered against the dark strands, "You are a virgin, aren't you?" He sighed, stroking her hair back from her face, "We don't have to do anything you don't want."
He was giving her a chance to run away, Hinata thought. "I want...I want to touch you." She blushed harder, her hand rising to slide low over his stomach. She traced the thin line of hair down to his cock, enjoying the strangled whimper he made when she wrapped her fingers around him. Her thumb stroked the head, a few drops of precum leaking out. She smeared the sticky liquid over his skin, slowly, hesitantly stroking her hand along his length. Hinata glanced at him from under her bangs to find his eyes dark and heated. She gasped, feeling herself grow wetter.
Genma moaned. She had never given a hand job before, that was clear, but the knowledge just served to make him harder. He watched her small, pale fingers squeeze his cock, her other hand now cradling his balls. He grabbed for her face, "Enough, baby." Genma kissed her, his mouth rough and hot and desperate. He forced himself to be gentle when he pushed her back, forced his hands steady when he reached for her panties. Genma pulled the scrap of silk down her legs, stroking her skin as he went. He dropped her panties to the floor and turned to look at her.
Hinata watched his face. Slowly, shyly, she parted her legs, her eyes locked on his mouth now. His lips parted in a silent gasp, then he was moving to lay against her. His hair brushed against her thighs, his hands pushing her legs further apart. Hinata closed her eyes and let her head fall back as his breath flowed hot over her clit. He kissed her there, purring deep in his throat. Hinata's hands fisted in the sheets, and she tensed. He began to lick.
She tasted amazing. Genma smiled at the mewling sounds she was making. He licked and tasted her juices, sucked gently at her clit. He pulled away to lay his head against her thigh, enjoying the way her body trembled. One finger slipped inside her, causing her to gasp and jerk. She was tight, her inner muscles slick and wet. Genma carefully slipped a second finger into her, leaning in to lap at her clit. Her body clenched around his fingers. Not quite there, but close.
Hinata fought not to squirm as his fingers reached deep into her body. His mouth was on her clit again, and she could feel an orgasm building. She sobbed, her legs tensing and her back arching. He kept licking, sucking, stroking deeper into her, the pressure building until she screamed, her body arching, shuddering, and the man between her legs smiled. He watched her, his head leaning on her thigh, until she calmed.
Genma rose and slid up her body. She was even more beautiful now, her eyes closed, skin flushed and sweaty. Her hair was a tangled mess against his sheets. Genma paused just long enough to wipe his mouth off before he kissed her, his cock brushing against her inner thigh. "Ready?" he whispered against her lips. She nodded. Genma positioned himself, them kissed her again as he slid forward.
She was wet, hot, tight, and Genma swore as he saw her flinch.
Hinata tensed as pain flared. His body was still, lips brushing tiny kisses against her face while he waited for her body to adjust. She carefully moved her hips and he moved deeper, the pain subsiding to a new feeling. Hinata reached around him, her fingers finding the scar on his back. One leg wrapped around his hip. Hinata turned her head and brushed his mouth with hers, "Please."
Genma moved. Slowly at first, shallow thrusts to let her get used to the movement, then deeper ones. She gasped and her hips moved to meet him. He kissed her again and again and again, his body wanting to move faster and deeper. Genma forced himself to calm, but his control was rapidly fraying.
Hinata's fingers clutched at the muscles of his back. She whimpered and moaned, her body building for another orgasm. Genma reached between them, his fingers finding her clit and rubbing. The second orgasm crashed over Hinata, her body squeezing around his, and Genma came.
He just barely caught himself before he collapsed on top of her. Genma raised one hand to cradle the back of her head, the other holding his body to the side. He was content to stay where he was, but knew he had to move. Genma sighed. "Wait here, baby." He slowly stumbled to his feet, then staggered to the door. Hinata watched him, her body boneless and unwilling to move. He reappeared after a moment with a small towel in his hand. She blushed as he carefully and tenderly cleaned her body.
Genma tossed the towel onto his discarded jeans and returned to the bed. He pulled Hinata to him then dragged the sheets up to cover them. Hinata laid her head against his chest, his heartbeat lulling her to sleep.
Genma stroked her hair back and wondered if it was possible to get addicted to the feel. He grinned, sleepy and content, and pressed a kiss to her forehead. She mumbled something against his chest, her eyes flashing a soft hearted warning in his direction.
Hyuuga eyes.
Genma's heart skipped a beat. She frowned and snuggled closer, her breath ghosting across his chest, drawing the nipple into a hard bead. Genma studied the way her lashes cast shadows on her cheeks and decided that questions could wait until morning. Genma pulled the sheets a bit tighter, and slept.
Notes: Thank you for the reviews! I appreciate them immensely. I did have one person ask why Hinata didn't use her Byakugan to see who was in the bathroom stall. They then assumed she was too drunk. I wanted to clear that up here. She isn't drunk, nor is she cowardly. Hinata has drunk enough alcholol to relax her and lower her inhibitions, but not so much she cannot make a decision. She did not use her Byukugan because it's a bathroom, folks. Not to mention the stage show in the club. And now that I'm done preaching, tell me what you think?

Movie Reviews: Zero Dark Thirty & Any Day Now
January 16, 2013
Read More:
Any Day Now
Director: Travis Fine
Writers: Travis Fine, George Arthur Bloom
Stars: Alan Cumming, Garret Dillahunt and Isaac Leyva
Runtime: 97 min
It's 1979 and Alan Cumming's character is making his meager living as a drag performer. He quickly meets a shy closeted hunk (Garret Dillahunt) and they end up fighting for custody of an abandoned teen with Down syndrome. This is an affecting and sweet drama that's elevated by Cumming's feisty performance (and wonderful singing), Dillahunt's lovable charm and Isaac Leyva's sweet smile. The period wardrobe is rich with wide collars and garish patterns, but it's the attitudes that provide the most jarring flashback (although they remain with us). While the subject is fodder for outrage and the story is basic, the acting and direction combine to create an appealing experience.
GAY ANGLE: Drag queens, blow jobs and 70s fashion. What more do you need?
Zero Dark Thirty
Director: Kathryn Bigelow
Writer: Mark Boal (screenplay)
Stars: Jessica Chastain, Joel Edgerton and Chris Pratt
Runtime: 157 min
The CIA's search for Osama bin Laden is detailed, particularly thru the efforts of one fervent woman (Jessica Chastain). The trail starts with the torture of detainees that garners tiny bits of information, then follows a lead that results in the crucial raid. Keep in mind, this takes 157 minutes, a lot of which is spent in closeups of Chastain's frustrated face. Much of the early discussion is complicated and confusing. Even after they get a break, the time is spent in debate and delay. The final assault is played out with dramatic detail, without music or flashy staging. Director Kathryn Bigelow has crafted scenes of interest and occasional power, but the movie is simply too long. Much of the early setup could have been sacrificed to tell a more compelling story. It's never boring, but it sure is long.
GAY ANGLE: Nothing (except a few hunky soldiers): this is the CIA in an Islamic world.
Jerry Williams reviewed movies for WTVR-TV for 14 years and for Style Weekly for 10 years. When he launched his own website in 1998 at TVJerry.com, he took his reviews to the Internet. Through those hundreds of reviews, Jerry kept his sexual orientation muted. So, he's excited to be adding "gay angles" to his postings for GayRVA.com.

The Islamic Corporation for the Development of the Private Sector (ICD) and JSCB Microkreditbank Uzbekistan have entered into a Joint Strategic Collaboration to finance SMEs in Uzbekistan. The Line of Financing facility agreement for the amount of USD 12 million was signed by the CEO of ICD, Khaled Al-Aboodi and the Acting Chairman of JSCB Microkreditbank, Shukhrat Rasulov. The collaboration will focus on developing the private sector especially SMEs, improving the living standard, generating tax revenues for the government and promoting Islamic Banking in the country. Khalid Al-Aboodi stated that ICD was pleased to extend a line of financing facility to Microkreditbank which will enhance the impact of socio-economic development. Shukhrat Rasulov welcomed the partnership with ICD and ensured that JSCB was committed to providing professional banking services while promoting private entrepreneurship in the Republic of Uzbekistan.
Egypt's central bank is launching its anticipated microfinance initiative to support the country's small and medium-sized businesses. According to the new initiative, the banks will not be obliged to establish a special unit for microfinancing; as they can provide both direct and indirect lending to clients. The Central Bank of Egypt (CBE) plans to allocate 20 billion Egyptian pounds ($1.2 billion) for the microfinancing activities in the country. CBE deputy governor Gamal Negm announced earlier that the central bank is preparing the ground to launch an initiative dedicated for the microfinance sector before the end of this month.
A $100 million fund has been launched in Bahrain to invest in the country's small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The initiative has been unveiled by the Islamic Corporation for the Development of the Private Sector (ICD) in partnership with Ibdar Bank and Labour Fund Tamkeen. The Bahrain SME Fund is a Shariah compliant mezzanine private equity fund which will target SMEs with high growth potential in consumer, industrial, ICT, education and healthcare sectors. Khalid Al Aboudi, CEO of the ICD, said that SME support is at the centre of ICD's strategy as they seek to facilitate further prosperity in Islamic countries. Ahmed Al-Rayes, CIO of Ibdar Bank, added that the creation of this fund is aligned with the Bank's mission to support Bahrain's economic diversification through private sector growth.
RHB Islamic Bank is expecting to disburse at least RM50 million this year to facilitate the development of entrepreneurs. The fund is part of the Teras Fund programme provided via the Bumiputera Agenda Steering Unit (Teraju). According to RHB Islamic Bank's CEO Datuk Adissadikin Ali, the collaboration with Teraju had so far disbursed RM200 million as of 2016 from the total fund raised of RM400 million. He said the original fund for the programme was RM80 million, but RHB Islamic managed to raise the fund by leveraging on resources to RM400 million.
Al Rayan Bank has appointed Islamic Relief as its exclusive charity partner for 2017. The bank will work with Islamic Relief by supporting Sharia-compliant microfinance projects through fundraising activities. The projects will help people living in poverty to establish social enterprise businesses in their home countries and become financially independent. One of the projects is in Mali, West Africa. The project helps local women by making money available using the Islamic finance principle of Qard Hasan (loan without benefit). The women are then able to use the money to commercially harvest the nut of the African Shea tree and create Shea Butter, which they can then use to make various products. Seema Khan, head of major gifts at Islamic Relief UK, said the microfinance partnership with Al Rayan Bank is an intelligent solution to helping people around the world out of poverty.
Summit will explore intersection of #fintech, #ESG and #Islamicfinance. #RFISummit17
January 24, 2017, Zurich, Switzerland –
Bringing together a diversity of perspectives is critical for continuing the growth occurring within responsible finance. On this premise, the Responsible Finance & Investment Summit 2017 will convene in Zurich, Switzerland from 3-4 May 2017 around the theme "Building Bridges, Expanding Impact".
Recent estimates from industry stakeholders show continued growth in responsible finance assets in many geographies and sectors. Responsible investment in Europe grew by 42% during the past 2 years, while in the U.S., assets grew by 33%. In Islamic finance, which has a global presence with a significant presence in Europe, the Middle East and Asia, growth in the last 2 years has been 21%. Identifying actionable areas for collaboration will support continued growth towards a more sustainable financial system.
Lors du 37e Midi de la microfinance Mohammed Kroessin, chef de l'Unité mondiale de microfinance islamique à l'ONG Islamic Relief Worldwide, et Fadoua Boudiba, chargée d'investissement senior de la région MENA et Afrique à la banque Triodos, ont expliqué les enjeux du développement de ce secteur dans le monde. Malgré le développement croissant, avec des nouveaux marchés qui s'ouvrent également à ce besoin, comme le Tadjikistan et les pays du Moyen-Orient, le secteur rencontre de nombreux défis, de par le manque de régulation. Paradoxalement, les pays comme l'Arabie Saoudite ne reconnaissent pas encore les produits de la finance islamique.
The Islamic fund on microfinance may be soon created in Azerbaijan. Recently, a mission of the Islamic Corporation for the Development of the Private Sector (ICD), which included the ICD Senior Regional Manager of for CIS and Europe countries Samir Taghiyev and the Microfinance Advisor at the ICD Bassem Khanfar, visited Baku. Azerbaijan has become one of the two countries, where the ICD starts negotiations with participants of the microfinance market. The second country is Kazakhstan. Earlier, during the 8th Micro-finance Conference in Baku, Executive Director of Azerbaijan Micro-finance Association (AMFA) Zhale Hajiyeva said that businessmen of post-Soviet countries also showed interest in the market. Currently, loan portfolio of Azerbaijan's microfinance organizations amounted to $485.16 million, according to AMFA.
The State Bank of #Pakistan (SBP) is pursuing a three-pronged strategy to achieve the goal of 50% financial inclusion by the year 2020. According to Saeed Ahmed, deputy governor of the central bank, twenty million households need microfinance in Pakistan. The forum, organised by Shamrock Conferences International was held to strive for the expansion of financial services. Dr Mohammad Amjad Saqib, chairman of Akhuwat Foundation, delivered the keynote address and stressed the importance of microfinance. Speakers agreed that the microfinance specialists must create a sustainable model by offering competitive microfinance products, reducing costs and expanding their outreach.
During the visit, the ICD delegation will meet with representatives of Azerbaijan's financial sector to study the potential of micro-finance market and works done in this sphere. The conference will also be attended by representatives of Germany's KfW Group.
The Islamic Microfinance Summit takes place on September 26-27, 2016 in Dubai and is organized by Uniglobal, a Prague-based provider of workshops and conferences. The theme of this conference is "raising awareness and ensuring compliant and targeted product development to aid poverty alleviation." Its goal is to promote Islamic microfinance, particularly to the international donor community.
To close the severe gaps in financial inclusion in the Middle East and North Africa, more and more governments are starting to develop national financial inclusion strategies driven by evidence-based studies. So far, demand studies on Islamic finance have produced mixed results. To examine the distinction between preference and actual choice, CGAP, Yale University and Tamweelcom took a novel approach to the study of demand for Islamic and conventional loans in Jordan. According to the experiment, more people opt for the Islamic microloan than the conventional one when offered both (17% versus 2%). Sharia certification appears to have no significant impact on loan take-up at all. The study found that in Jordan people who are more religious are willing to pay a higher price for an Islamic microloan.
For the majority of the 1.4 billion of the world's poor agriculture is the main source of income and employment. Many farmers live in areas lacking access to basic financial services, leaving them vulnerable to shocks and prone to low-risk, low-return investments. Improving access to financial services can help farmers make profitable investments that increase their yields. At a macro level, higher yields increase the total global supply of food. At a micro level, higher yields increase household income and food security for the world's 1.5 billion living in smallholder households.
The 6th Global Islamic Microfinance Forum (GIMF) will convene in Nairobi, Kenya on November 8-9, 2016. Muhammad Zubair Mughal, the CEO of Al-Huda, said the GIMF will explore how new and effective strategies can alleviate poverty. He said the most alarming situation is that major chunk of poverty exist in Muslim countries, as it is considered the number one agenda of "financial inclusion." In these countries a proper platform is needed, valuing their cultural and social values, which is possible only through Islamic Microfinance. Amjad Saqib, Executive Director of Akhuwat declared that Akhuwat has so far distributed almost Rs. 25 billion among 1,323,586 families. He presented the "Qarz-e-Hassan" model as a true model of Islamic Welfare oriented Microfinance system. The Forum will be followed by two days post event workshop, How to Develop, Operate and Sustain Islamic Microfinance Institutions planned for November 10-11, 2016.
The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) recently released a new categorization system for "Non-Interest Islamic Microfinance Banks" (NIMFBs). CBN organized NIMFBs into three categories: "Unit", "state" and "national". Unit NIMFBs must have a minimum capital of NGN 20 million (USD 71,000) and may open one branch location within the same municipality as the organization's headquarters. State NIMFBs may operate in one state if they maintain minimum capital of NGN 200 million (USD 350,000). Institutions in this category may open multiple branches in the state within which their headquarters are registered. A national NIMFB is permitted to operate in any state or territory of Nigeria so long as it holds NGN 2 billion (USD 7 million) in capital.
The current use of Islamic Finance has mainly benefited large corporations. Despite the Shariah focus on community support and involvement, the sector's contribution to SMEs and social projects is minimal. Combining Islamic Finance with crowdfunding has the potential to address financing issues faced by SMEs. One factor which may boost the growth of the sector is the increased introduction of Islamic finance structures. Most crowdfunding platforms currently use Murabaha and Mudharabah contracts. Other structures which may be considered includes Salam, Ijara and Diminishing Musharaka.
In #Australia microfinance organisations are expecting a growing demand for financial help. Every year about 20.000 Australians obtain such loans and the figures are expected to double by the end of 2017. For example Good Shepherd Microfinance has partnered with state and federal governments and the National Australia Bank to provide the loans. Manager Adam Mooney said the increasing availability of no-interest loans of up to $1.200 would steer people away from credit cards and high-interest, short-term loans. He also said Good Shepherd was looking for more support to expand its programs.
The Islamic Research and Training Institute (IRTI) is organizing a seminar to discuss the role of Islamic microfinance in poverty alleviation on 14-15 May 2016 in Bogor, Indonesia. IRTI is organizing the event in conjunction with the 41st Annual Meeting of the IDB Group. The event features the launching of the Islamic Microfinance for Poverty Alleviation and Capacity Transfer (IMPACT) Program, which aims to disseminate the best practices in Islamic microfinance.
The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) released guidelines on the regulation and supervision of non-interest microfinance banks (MFBs) in the country. In the document the banking sector regulator placed the NIMFBs into three categories namely Unit, State and National. A Unit NIMFB is required to have a minimum paid-up capital of N20 mn, a State NIMFB is required N100 mn, while a National NIMFB required N2 bn.

The world of trading can be a bit intimidating to anyone who does not have much of an experience in it. In fact, as most experienced traders will tell you, there are more than a few types of trading types possible and opting for one can be rather confusing. Not to worry, we shall be covering here most of the basic forms of trading so that you can have an easier time deciding on exactly what you want to opt for.
To start with, trading can be classified into 2 different categories based on the type of trading. The first is based on time and the second on the type of asset.
If we classify a trade on the basis of time period, it can be of 4 types:
- Day trading
As the name suggests, this is the type of trading when the assets that are bought are sold within a day. In short, it is meant for traders who like fast action and can act on the spur of the moment. If you cannot handle pressure, this is not the type of trading you should opt for. Further classifications of day trading include pattern trading (when the underlying patterns of the trade need to be taken advantage of), arbitrage (profits made from slight price differences in different markets), news trading (identifying potentials of profit from sensitive trades) etc.
- Short Term Trading
This is the trading that occurs when the assets are sold within a few days to a few weeks' worth of time. Pattern trading can also be classified as short term trading.
- Medium Term Trading
This kind of trading is based on stop loss. The trade usually occurs within a period of a few weeks to a few months. High time period Swing Trading is an example of medium-term trading.
- Long Term Trading
As the name suggests, long term trades occur over a long period of time. This varies from a few months to a few years. The usual category for these trades occurs from company stock analyses. Stock trading based on company dividends is a prime example of long terms trading.
Aside from trading classification on the basis of a time period, another very popular classification is done on the basis of the kind of asset traded. As can be understood, the world of trading is quite vast. You can trade in multiple assets at the same time or trade in one asset. However, a fundamental understanding in exactly what you want to trade in is of primary importance to make a good profit.
The usual classifications on asset-based trading are:
- Indices Binary options Trading
This is a relatively new form of trading that is becoming very popular with everyone. The reason is the simplicity of executing the trade and the relatively low amount of time needed to see the profits coming in. The premise is very simple. A trader bets on the direction a stock's price will go. If the prediction matches, he is offered a profit, else the amount is forfeit. Unlike stock trading, this can be done with very small amounts of money and the profit is both instantaneous and easy to understand.
- Currency/Forex Trading
If you are even remotely interested in trading, you probably know about the currency trading. The idea is that a trader can spend on currency to buy another. The trade is done in the form of a currency pair. Almost any major pair of currency can be traded including USD, Euro, JPY etc. The reason for currency pair trading can be due to 2 reasons: the first is to convert one currency into another for the sake of ease of spending in case of various reasons (like an overseas vacation) and the other is to identify a point of profit where one currency is gaining in terms of another. The profits can be significant here, however, sensitive information needs to be isolated fast for potential leads in currency trading.
- Commodity Binary Options
This is closer to the idea of commodity trading, but without the hassle of having to invest a major amount in actually buying the commodity. You can buy commodities like Gold, oil, Copper or Silver based on their values directly. You are given a time period and you can freely trade with the commodities you choose without going into the intricacies of how it all works.
- Stock trading
This is the most common form of trading. Stocks and shares of various companies rise and fall over any given period of time. Buying them at a low price and selling them at high is the most basic form of earning profit. In short, identifying fluctuating market values of stocks based on the news of the companies associated with them forms the crux of share trading. Any and all kinds of stocks, from major companies like Google and Facebook to small companies who have opened up their stocks to the public are open for trading via the various major stock exchanges around the world (New York, Japan, European etc.).
Now that you know the kinds of trading available to you, feel free to experiment and check out everything to understand the one you are comfortable with. There is no fixed path for trading, so it is up to you to find your path. However, keep in mind that trading responsibly is just as important as trading with risk. Be ready for consequences if a trade does not go the way you planned. Check out advice on the best binary options software at Trusted Binary Reviews. Also there is some good advice on quora.com
Trade sensibly, trade profitably.

Ulcers, Gastric and Duodenal
The following herbs, taken for an extended period, are used as a specific treatment for both gastric and duodenal ulcers.
10 parts Marshmallow root
2 parts Marigold flowers
2 parts Meadowsweet herb
1 part Lemon Balm leaves
Infusion: 3 cups per day
3 parts Marshmallow root
1 part Marigold flowers
Infusion: 3 cups per day
Weight Reduction
The following formula contains herbs with diuretic, laxative and alterative properties, the combined action of which appears to produce weight loss in many cases:
4 parts Chickweed herb
1 part Cinnamon bark
4 parts Cleavers herb
6 parts Dandelion root
4 parts Fennel seed
1 part Vervain leaves
Infusion: 3 cups daily, before meals
While the use of herbs may help with weight reduction, it should be noted that the most successful and lasting approach to weight loss is based on fairly frequent (i.e. at least 3 or 4 times a week) aerobic exercise and a well-balanced diet. Dieting and inactivity, because of their metabolic consequences, tend ultimately only to compound the problem, and there seems little sense in eagerly pursuing any form of treatment while at the same time ignoring the body's natural function of movement and activity.

In the special case that a server requests a renegotiation, the client may receive an error code of GNUTLS_E_REHANDSHAKE. This message may be simply ignored, replied with an alert containing NO_RENEGOTIATION, or replied with a new handshake, depending on the client's will.
If EINTR is returned by the internal push function (the default is code{recv()}) then GNUTLS_E_INTERRUPTED will be returned. If GNUTLS_E_INTERRUPTED or GNUTLS_E_AGAIN is returned, you must call this function again, with the same parameters; alternatively you could provide a NULL pointer for data, and 0 for size. cf. code{gnutls_record_get_direction()}.
A server may also receive GNUTLS_E_REHANDSHAKE when a client has initiated a handshake. In that case the server can only initiate a handshake or terminate the connection.
Returns the number of bytes received and zero on EOF. A negative error code is returned in case of an error. The number of bytes received might be less than code{count}.

We've all made one.
There's almost always a story behind my selfies. Usually, a funny one. Here it is. But, instead of re-writing the whole thing, I'ma copy/paste from my original G+ Post.
Seldom, do I ever know what I'm going to do for my selfy, until minutes before doing it. This one was no exception. I got up early on Saturday, and got dressed, with one goal, completing my Selfy Sunday image. Yeah, well, 4 hours later, I was still kicking around the house without a single idea.
So, I just grabbed my bag of tricks, and hopped in my truck. While I'm driving, I have this vision. Turned around, drove back home, loaded up the truck with props, and drove for another 60-90 minutes looking for this spot. It was almost perfect.
So after lots of test shots, and lots of minor adjustments, I was ready. With the camera in position, and the remote on the table, I dropped my drawers. Yep, everything was already off. Snapped off a couple frames. Got up, reviewed them, sat back down, ..... and repeated the whole thing a few times.
Now here's the thing. Where I wound up, is a long dirt road, that takes you to the Trona Pinnacles, a National Natural Landmark. It's visited by people from all over the globe. So at least twice, I had to take shelter near my truck (it's a big ol' Yukon) just in case there were children passing by.
But then, I notice a vehicle pulled over, about 100 yards away. Just sitting there, facing me. Yep, still nekkid here. What's a nekkid guy in a gas mask to do? Well, finish, of course. So, I don't know if they were watching me, taking pictures of me, or maybe just pulled over to pee? But I finished my business, then they drove away. So if any scandalous images of me appear on the internet, you know where they came from.
What's the worst job you've ever had?

Name: Cade
Rating: 4.6 stars over 107 reviews
Description: Cade MacKenzie is prepared to give his life to destroy the cartel that killed his lover, but the only way to draw them out is to present them with the perfect bait.
Bayleigh Scott has no idea who her new neighbor is, only that her body is drawn to him in ways she can't explain, and the danger that surrounds him isn't the deterrent she knows it should be.
More than fireworks explode between Cade and Bayleigh when she discovers the real reason he relentlessly pursued her, but by then it's too late, because she's already been drawn into a deadly game of desire, deception and revenge.
Reviews: "The story will grab you and not turn loose until you read the last page. I highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a spellbinding story with a lot of action, a bit of erotica, and a whole lot of drop-dead-gorgeous man."

This week's Best Translated Book Award post is by Mark Haber of Brazos Bookstore. For more information on the BTBA, "like" our Facebook page and follow us on Twitter. And check back here each week for a new post by one of the judges.
Thus Bad Begins by Javier Marias, translated from the Spanish by Margaret Jull Costa (Knopf)
Thus Bad Begins by Javier Marías and translated by Margaret Jull Costa is probably my favorite book of the year. Anyone who has read a novel by Marías will see all the familiar hallmarks: circular, philosophical writing that hits a theme, retreats and then returns, over and over, almost obsessively, to try and "figure it out." The themes themselves are also characteristic to Marías's body of work: history, morality, secrets, betrayal, how much can we ever know another person and when is it dangerous to know too much? Through all of this lies an unspoken sense of danger and, of course, the writing. The writing.
The themes that figure in Thus Bad Begins are also prevalent in Marías's masterful trilogy, Your Face Tomorrow. The Franco regime is, if not in the forefront, always present, to remind the reader that the past is never quite through with us. The novel takes place in 1980 and focuses on the Muriels, an unhappy couple living in Madrid. Eduardo, the husband, is a B-movie filmmaker and the story is told by his then-young assistant, Juan. The unhappiness of the Muriel marriage is one of the great unknowns of the novel, for Juan has firsthand access to the family and witnesses a strange and abusive relationship between Eduardo and his wife Beatriz. Eduardo is somehow punishing Beatriz and she not only accepts the abuse but behaves in a way that appears she's deserving. Juan's youth gives him the advantage of seeming innocence, of being easily ignored and yet, in one brief passage Marías describes that:
Someone only has to notice you—cast an indolent glance in your direction—and there's no withdrawing, even if you hide away or stay very still and quiet and take no initiative or do anything. Even if you try to erase yourself, you have been spotted, like a distant shape on the ocean that you can't ignore, that you must either avoid or approach.
Soon the young narrator is tasked by Juan with an indelicate favor, to befriend a close associate, a prestigious doctor and find out if certain, unscrupulous rumors about the doctor are true. Juan's innocence, and his curiosity about the state of the Muriel marriage, lead him into a Madrid just waking up from fascist rule. Besides a wonderful lesson in contemporary Spanish history, Thus Bad Begins takes the reader into the psychology of civil war: how people (and sides) who have wronged one another—often neighbors and friends—are suddenly expected to forgive each other, or at the very least, remain silent, in the face of a new government. Reading this now, the book has an almost immediate relevance.
Thus Bad Begins contains strands of similar DNA, found in earlier novels, Tomorrow in the Battle Think on Me and A Heart So White. But a reader going into a Javier Marías novel knows what to expect. There is eavesdropping. There is tailing, or following. There are conversations overheard. There is a sensual and palpable sense of danger. Yet Marías uses these tropes to his advantage, telling a sophisticated story, with grand eloquence, about universal truths. One always feels they are in the hands of a master when reading a book by Marías. The translation by Margaret Jull Costa is graceful and natural and I couldn't recommend this wonderful book any more highly. Additionally, it's a great starting-point for anyone who hasn't had the pleasure of reading Javier Marías before. They will see a Spain awakening from dictatorship and may, in different ways, see a not-so-distant future for America.

Who says you can't look fabulous in the rain? As fashionistas, we make a vow to look great RAIN or SHINE. Sometimes I secretly look forward to the rain because that means its time to bust out the trendy rain gear! What did you say? You don't have any fab gear in your closet? Girl step your game up! Lucky for you we have some amazing pointers to help bump up your style into the fabulous category. First things-first: you MUST add in a rain coat- depending on your style. If your going for a classic look we highly recommend DKNY (they have a great fit that's true to size & affordable) or if your going for a funky piece with some color try Michael Kors. Next up- rain boots: we are loving the trendy Vivienne Westwood jellies, and of course the classic Hunter wellies. The last accessory to complete your new rain gear-a fun and flashy umbrella: try larger all-in-one stores such as Target, and department stores like Macy's. With all your new gear you'll be singing in the rain. xo
