금융위기직전과 같은경제지표가관찰되는상황 이것 모르고준비 안하면 부동산주식 폭락맞습니다
Hello, this is Fisher in Best Fisher You will remember the 2008 financial crisis. Of subprime mortgage crisis Aftermath spreads to Korea The stock market and real estate market started to crash Many companies went bankrupt. As well as the self-employed In the wake of honorary retirement The main culprit behind the financial crisis It's a derivative called CDO. And as of 2019 CDO of the past financial crisis Once again a derivative called CLO Issuance is skyrocketing due to the financial crisis. History repeats We forget it And without letting me know a little deeper It's gonna be alright In a part of the economy that we don't know A bubble is created and it bursts After the whole economy collapsed We risk that Only then did you know what it was Today, deep inside the US economy Many people are not aware Learn about the risks How to contrast it Let's think about what to do CDO stands for Collateralized Debt Obligation Held by financial institutions such as banks Tie a mortgage and a bond It refers to a liquidated derivative As the main culprit of the 2008 financial crisis It is pointed out Knowing the CDO is a problem Because it's easy to understand the CLO with similar structure, The CDO that caused the financial crisis I'll explain it easily first In 2003, due to the US economic slowdown The Fed cuts interest rates by 1% It's no different than it is in 2019. At that time, liquidity funds Overflowing, US real estate speculation overheats When buying a home in the US Through mortgage loans I'm buying a house. What is different from Korea Low interest rates for longer than 10 years I can get a loan In the worst case, banks Foreclosure of real estate All debt relationships end Korea is mortgaged After getting a loan I have a problem with my repayment If a bank seizes a secured home The bank disposes of the house I have to pay off the remaining debt The US mortgage system seizes homes only Is your debt ending? Quite different from our country It is an enviable system Lending money to the bank Because you have to get low interest in the long run Profitability is too low. As a result, banks Have a mortgage Merchandising and selling to financial companies This is called MBS Banks use MBS You can recover the loan back quickly. I'll give you a mortgage again Make it MBS again By repeating this process Significantly increase profitability Of course only in this way A loan was made It wouldn't have been a problem if you had a bad loan. Bought MBS from the bank American financial firms Depending on the lender's credit MBS with high possibility of payback And a low-credit MBS that is likely to save money Tie several things together Reinforce credit And put corporate bonds In a complicated way, To resell to investors This is called CDO And invested CDO or Financial firms By tying again Again issuing a CDO As a basic asset called mortgage A lot of derivatives More leverage. But in 2007, there was a problem Even before the financial crisis The structure of CDO's complex investment products Investors have a risk rating analysis Because it doesn't work at all I trust only financial institution reports and credit ratings Invested However, this product is the first underlying asset That is, the principle of mortgage loan If you cannot repay properly Chain default from MBS to CDO It's a structure that can only fly. Finally, in 2007, the US housing market Starting to fall Failing to repay a mortgage People started to increase Many mortgages go bankrupt. And based on that MBS and CDO investments also There is a chain of bankruptcy. Thus aggressively Invested in real estate-related financial products Large investment bank Lehman Brothers went bankrupt. The rest of the big US investment banks Because we have invested in the same way Received bailout from the government And equally invested in a US CDO Banks in Western Europe were hit in a chain You will receive bailouts from your government. So emerging countries that don't invest in CDOs Was there a problem? no US and European funds invested in emerging countries Recovered quickly and returned home Emerging Country Stocks and Real Estate Asset prices plummeted As the exchange rate soared, emerging countries also Faced with a chain of economic crises. As of 2019, the CLO in question Much like the CDO I described The underlying assets of the CLO are not mortgages. It is senior Seniors are called leveraged Low credit rating companies below BB- When you get a loan from a bank Receiving property such as real estate and machinery as collateral A mortgage loan Seniorron has collateral If market interest rates rise above a certain amount The interest rate can be applied at variable rates Because there is an advantage Where to invest in a long-term low interest rate environment To meet the needs of unwarranted investors Hard to be funded Loan demand from low credit rating firms Issuance has soared at a tremendous rate. Problem is CLO Mortgage loans from low credit companies Tied together and sold Is similar to the CDO of the past. The CLO is from low credit companies A mortgage loan According to the evaluation, such as repayment Classify from AAA to BB Using methods such as decentralization and credit Raise the investment grade to AA This made it impossible to invest in a low credit company. Insurers and Pension Funds It's a structure and a product that can be invested. Because of this, your credit rating Interest rate is higher than that of AAA-rated corporate bonds Because you have A lot of money on the market $ 128.1 billion in new issues in 2018 The balance will be the largest ever Of course, now the CLO The structure is not complicated compared to CDO Because it is not a self-replicating situation Because the risk is low and the firm's senior collateral loan There are also claims that the risk is not high. But there are many opinions that the risk is high. First, the basic asset of the CLO Insolvency problem about leverage Historically, the underlying assets of the CDO are the underlying assets of the current CLO. Look at real estate, machinery and bonds of low credit companies It was a stronger home. Moreover, the current issue of leverage loan For low credit companies The ratio of borrowings to profit is five times. This is higher than the 2007 financial crisis. The problem is that bond yields will rise or When profits of low credit companies decrease On the repayment of interest and leverage Is that there is a high probability Besides this, there are various problems. First of all, American credit companies The amount borrowed from the mortgage Dividends and Treasury Stocks Is that they tend to use The company makes a loan and this money is invested in equipment investment You have to make a profit using this It pays dividend income for major shareholders Is a tendency to use And recently with the US tax reform Mergers and acquisitions are on the rise. Leveraged by out LBO has been successful in borrowing. When LBO mergers and acquisitions Not cash As collateral for the assets of the company How to take over a loan company The problem is that the borrowing Because it is determined in conjunction with the size of the company's profits Reduce the cost of sales Postpone loss handling Because profit inflate is possible Excessive loans that exceed Is that you can get it. Apart from this, recent leverage theory Lack of investor protection Short loans exceed 80% And according to Moody's Only as a senior collateral among leveraged issuers Companies that make up debt are increasing If there is a bankruptcy, the recovery rate actually The 61% forecast is also It is quite a concern Because the content is difficult It may be difficult to understand The conclusion is clear CDO, the culprit of the financial crisis, The current CLO is based on That it was a mortgage On assets, such as real estate, It is very similar in that it is a mortgage loan. Banks also liquidate loans This is what financial companies structured Derivatives are similar. Interest rates rise, Interest payment becomes difficult and becomes basic asset When mortgages go bankrupt The CLO is likely to go bankrupt Is also the same The biggest problem is the past financial crisis Up until the very end, many experts and rating agencies Provides a lot of evidence about the stability of the CDO Report or guarantee stability Is that you have a credit rating. Internally stuck parts No matter how external the expert There is a limit to external evaluation. In the end, general investors like us Of American companies Some say that the internal matter is rotting It's hard to know The US leveraged loan environment It doesn't get much better Without loan repayment ability Lending to companies, Banks Moral Hazards for Profitability If bond yields rise in the future When profits of low credit companies begin to decline There is also a possibility of a rapid increase in defaults. And now the CLO is the bank of Japan 30% of the total quantity If problems arise in emerging countries Japanese funds can also be removed This means the financial crisis in 2008 Like then No matter how healthy our economy is If there's a problem with the CLO If the economic crisis occurs in the United States American, European, and Japanese funds As we move away from emerging countries Korea's economy, like the financial crisis, Is to collapse. So is there no alternative? But what we can confirm High yield spread High yield spread Corporate bond rates of low-credit companies below BB- and The difference between the bond yields This is an indicator If that indicator surges, Of American credit companies Procurement rates are rising It means that the possibility of bankruptcy increases. So if high yield spreads soar Economic indicators are observed and US credit firms If you hear news of an increase in default, We are like the CDO during the financial crisis The problem is likely to occur in the current CLO.

text: Lately I have had to address some lurking inner gremlins which suddenly came to the fore. It reminded me how important it is to look at one's projections. We all project our subconscious issues onto others, which is something that is difficult to acknowledge once we become aware of it. It is so much easier to look at the shadow side of life outside of ourselves rather than acknowledge the uncomfortable truth that virtually everything that 'gets our goat' carries an aspect of our own dark side. The sooner we accept this fact, the more empowered we become. To give an example, if you get highly irritated by someone's self-importance, it is definitely time to look at your own ego issues. If you were not projecting, you would be amused by such behaviour or not overly concerned. Continue reading

Haditha Marines Charged
I understand that the Marine Corps must take allegations of any wrong-doing by Marines very seriously, and I am satisfied in my beliefs that they carried out the investigations thoroughly, and believe that the proceedings are being conducted fairly, impartial, and will come to the proper conclusion.
It is entirely possible that after a Marine was killed by the explosion of an IED, the remaining Marines massacred 24 Iraqi men, women and children out of anger, or whatever. It is also possible that either these innocents were killed in the crossfire between Marines and insurgents, or that these civilians were assisting the attack upon the Marines and became combatants as a result, jusifying the actions of the Marines.
The initial report, if you recall, was that 15 Iraqi civilians were killed in an IED explosion, and eight insurgents were killed in the ensuing firefight. Later, it was determined that none of the civilians were killed by the IED.
What it all came down to was whether or not the deaths of these people happened under circumstances that followed the Rules of Engagement and Law of Armed Conflict.
Here in America, we do not understand what it is like for these troops. Anyone in these war zones can be the enemy. Children wield weapons. Women (even grandmas) are willing to wear bomb belts. Any action considered offensive will put any soldier in such a situation at the ready. And word from the region has it that the insurgents often blend in with the civilians, using innocents as shields, or as deliverers of death.
Perhaps these Marines are guilty, but I fear that those that have condemned these people are applying standards consistent with civilian societal views and understandings, and not consistent with the atmosphere of war.
This action of charging the Marines, and conducting a criminal investigation into the follow-up actions of the chain of command is damaging. Hey, if they are guilty and committed these attrocities as charged, then they have coming what they deserve, but even if that is the case, this is damaging beyond repair.
An accelerating media frenzy over this is overwhelming American politics. The mainstream media is using Haditha to further compare Iraq to Vietnam. In fact, I think that the liberal press is unable to think of any American war without reflexively placing it into a Vietnam mindset. The Western Press seems to be compelled to be anti-US military and anti-Conservative. The liberal press is willing to use any situation (with a little twisting usually) as a political tool to dismantle America's effort in Iraq and destroy the legitimacy of our presence. They desire to directly affect the case against these Marines as well as use it to their political means. The left wishes to disrupt the morale of the troops, and to undermine the image of the United States as a military power.
As far as the left is concerned, what happened in Haditha is a case of out-right murder. Doesn't matter if they have little or no idea of the facts in the situation. As far as they are concerned these were wanton killings performed in cold blood.
The only people that knows what truly happened in Haditha is the Marines and the insurgents that were there. The reports that the surviving Marines went on an hours-long killing spree by the media was tainted by the fact that these reporters desire to discredit Bush and the war in Iraq at any cost, including the futures of our fine United States Marines.
People don't seem to realize that Haditha was (and is) controlled by the insurgents. The insurgents call all the shots. The insurgents decide who lives and dies. The civilians in that region cooperate out of fear, coercion, or in some cases a desire to be part of the murderous effort carried out by Radical Islamism.
Anti-war lefties don't consider the hellish conditions that our troops must fight there way through. It does not seem to ever cross the minds of the liberal media to give our troops the benefit of the doubt. Apparently the press does not believe that we owe that to our troops, and instead will not be satisfied unless Haditha becomes their justification that Bush was wrong to go to war in Iraq and a lever to pull our troops from the region. They are feeding the public opinion, and with Hollyweird's history of producing films about out-of-control, cold blooded soldiers the public has been quick to jump on the wagon. Here's where the left doesn't get it. If this pushes us out of Iraq in a manner similar to when we pulled out of Vietnam, there is one difference that the left hasn't been willing to recognize. When we left Vietnam, the enemy didn't follow us home. Radical Islamists will. If we leave the region, we will lose. And I don't mean lose like someone loses a game. We will lose our safety, freedom, and eventually, we will lose our country to Islam.
Don't think we'd ever allow that? We already have a Muslim in public office by the name of Ellison who was only willing to take his oath on the Koran.
The left is ready to do whatever they can to ensure that the Haditha incident becomes synonymous with the entire effort in Iraq. Iran, Syria and Saudi Arabia would be more than happy to see us withdraw from Iraq in defeat. The mainstream media is determined to sabotage any public support for the Iraq war, and demonize those that supports it. They claim to support the troops as does the conservatives, yet they call them baby killers, and play psychological games on the American public.
Political fallout from the charges will innevitably be the press and the left refueling their theory that President Bush lied us into the war. And they will say, if Bush lied then, why not the Pentagon and the troops lying now regarding the massacre of innocents?
And all of this on the eve of a Democratic take-over of Congress.
What the left doesn't seem to realize is that the conditions of Haditha, controlled by the insurgents to the degree that it is, is what will become of Iraq if we depart from Iraq. Murderous thugs armed by Iran and Syria will turn Iraq in another Cambodian nightmare. The sands of Iraq will become killing fields beyond what any of us could imagine.
I refuse to accept the idea that the left puts forth.
I refuse to accept the idea that we should disgrace ourselves and pull out of Iraq with our tails between our legs with a lable of "murderers" posted on our backs.
We have troops in harm's way around the world. We cannot allow them to believe that they are regarded with scorn as their fathers in Vietnam came to believe. And if those Marines truly did kill innocents in Haditha, their conduct is an aberration, not the norm. Despite the left's desires and treasonous activities, we must not allow Haditha to tarnish the noble service of our military men and women. Our military is faithful to America. They haven't failed us, and we must not fail them.

Well stated!
Throughout this I can't help but think of Ilario Pantaro - also charged similarly, found guilty by the press, but found innocent by the Courts Martial. His life was ruined, his career was ruined.
This is war - people die. Not always the people we want to die. If we continue to have these PC rules of engagement, we will continure to have high casualties.
Well Doug if it wasn't for that Jack Murtha accusing those Marines ahead of time before any facts were known I call that irresponsible and I think that Jack Murtha should be charged with those outlandish statements that he made towards the Military.
I agree with what you wrote but I didn't like it when Jack Murtha just flat out calling them a bunch of murderers. That was Unpatriotic and Un-American. About the press, that is nothing new, they have been that way for years, ever since the Vietnam War.
Liberals Hate America and they Hate the Military.
At this point, they get the legal benifit of the doubt.
Who get's the benifit of the doubt during an invesitgation? Investigations are all about doubt.
War is not an excuse for all out massecres of innocent people. Fog of war is one thing...revenge is different.
Look the fact is Mudkitty you have no idea the difference between a firefight and a hairbrush! you have no busines even commenting here as you not a clue of the military. Reading something in the MSM or watching Katie tell it is not nearly a fact.
Kitty do you just comment here because Doug is to nice to tell you to F off. You disgust me, you have no clue of the military and serving. Go to Starbucks a drink your foo foo and bitch about Bush with your other lefty loons and leave the comments about the military to people that have a clue and a care
Oh and Yes Kitty you asked at Jenn's if I was still pissed, Hell Yes you are the reason people hate blogs, because you do nothing, uninformed trash
First of all DTO - if you knew the first thing about the far left, you'd know that they hate Starbucks, as they represent the corporate takeover of the left.
As for myself, I am not the far left, but I don't like Starbucks coffee for it's own sake - it's not that good anymore.
If people hate blogs, then why are blogs catching on like wildfire? Could that be my "fault" too?
And while I've never served in the military myself, DTO, many members of my family have, and that's really none of your business. But you go ahead and smear away with your broad smear brush.
I take this means you won't take my call on your show?
And as for Jenn, she can speak for herself. And does.
As for DG and me? Perhaps we actually see each other as human beings, and not ideology machines? Perhaps that explains why I respect him, and why he puts up with me?
Mk, you cant find a phone or the show, remember? If you can find the number you are free to call, but you proven you can't, public education.
As for the rest, blow it out your arse

Dave, I respect your opinion, and I understand why mudkitty gets on your nerves, but as long as she abides by a few rules (such as no longer Xing out Christ) she is entitled to her opinion and entitled to comment on this blog. She, actually, is sort of an asset to my site because she is sort of like a car accident - - you may not approve of what happened, but you have to visit to take a look at what she says next anyway, and she definitely gets everyone all wound up and talking, and to be honest, I enjoy watching the debates unfold. However, my dear MK, be as fair to my devoted rightwing readers as I have been to you, please. Not a warning, or anything, for you are fine for now; just a reminder.

Affiliate marketing gives you the chance to make money by promoting products and services by referring them to a site. You are then given the commission once the visitor purchases something or completed an action like signing up for a service or enlisting in the email list. This marketing technique is both favorable for the advertiser and affiliate. Why you ask? This is because the affiliate gets paid while the seller makes the sales they may have not received so all in all it's a win for both parties.
Research other listings in your city on AirBnB and see what the going rate is for a place like yours. You could also just rent out a private room as well or even a bed in a shared room. In fact, that's how AirBnB got its start. However, you might find it hard in the beginning without reviews, but as long as you take really good care of your guests and provide a lot of value, the reviews will eventually come rolling in.
these are certainly well known ways of making money with affiliate marketing…the best example i can give is rahul kuntala of learnblogtips.com, he has created an ebook and also has a landing page as you suggested! i would also specify bharat mandava of wpsquare.com, who earns most of his income through affiliate marketing!! thx fr the article jafar :)
If you're a fitness buff and have the right combination of charisma and business sense, working as a part-time online personal trainer can be both physically and financially rewarding. Once you build up a reputation and client base for yourself, it could easily turn into a full-time endeavor for you. Check out this interview with several fitness blog owners who are making a living online, from MonetizePros. As well, I'd recommend checking out this resource if you want to take this business idea seriously and get started with a business plan for your personal fitness trainer business today.
Prior to that group, they had an online community for teachers looking for lesson plans. That probably sounds pretty random, but it's crazy the type of communities you can build and rally people around. If it's something that you're passionate about yourself and you want to connect with others that have that same passion, then an online community is something you should definitely consider.
Online savings accounts usually come with crazy good interest rates to help you grow your money faster (regular in-person banks can't offer rates as high). We're fans of CIT Bank and Discover Bank (among others) because their interest rates are often over 25 times the national average. That means the money in your savings account will grow 25 times faster than the pace it's most likely growing at now. Really, though, you can't go wrong with pretty much any online savings account that offers over 1.50% APY 🙂
If you don't mind doing other people's chores, then TaskRabbit is a great option for making money online. Earn extra income by walking your neighbor's dog or mowing Mr. Smith's lawn. It might seem like not the most lucrative option, but the top taskers reportedly earn as much as $7000 a month, making this a full-time way to make money online for some.
The peer-to-peer concept is coming to virtually every corner of human existence. That includes the hospitality industry. Through AirBnB you can actually rent out your house for various lengths of time for a predetermined fee. That gives you an extra income on your house and gives the visitor the benefit of having an entire house, rather than being crammed into a single hotel room.
Another strategy to make money online is to become a social marketing manager. Being present on social media is key for any business that wants to attract new customers, promote their products and grow their following. However, constantly posting, liking and commenting on the numerous social media channels is extremely time consuming. More and more businesses are recruiting social media managers to run and organize all their social media. And to save money, social media employees are often employed as online freelancers.
Epic post! I've been hunting around various sites like Pat Flynn's and others, but they never put everything together as you have. Now it starting to make sense for once. So, I'm a newbie and don't even know the different between internet marketer and digital marketer or what this type of business is even called. I just want to learn this business and create a small passive income online in any niche. Because I know very little, I was actually planning to use this very same Sales Funnel in your diagram and all the tools mentioned to make my first couple of bucks online.
What a great post mate.This is brilliant for newbies who are struggling to get a start and build up some confidence in their ability to become successful.Just getting those first few sign ups and a sale or two is very inspiring when you are starting out.You make some good points about giving value first and then gently selling your offer,too many marketers like to sell,sell,sell.... This drives me nuts,so I guess it happens to most potential customers.I hope to get more brilliant content from you in emails in the future to help me build my business.
Yet another Amazon service providing the possibility to make money online is the Audiobook Creation Exchange. You can create a standalone audiobook, or create an audio version of your eBook as complementary media. And you can narrate your audiobook yourself, or Amazon can put you in contact with a professional to help. Once sold, you can then earn up to 40% royalties per audiobook.
It may take time to build that audience that turns views into dollars. The average revenue per 1,000 YouTube views is just over $6. But with enough videos for fans to scroll through, those views can add up over time. While you're building an audience, you could also join an affiliate program related to your channel and make money through affiliate links in your video descriptions.
Robo-advisors are diversified investment accounts that are automatically managed by a computer algorithm (as opposed to a human money manager). If you want to invest, but don't have the money, or don't want to invest with a money manager, robo-advisors are for you! Robo-advisors make investing easier—and cheaper—so they're perfect for new investors.
If you have a knack for organization, you can make money online as a virtual assistant helping people to keep their days in order. A virtual assistant will do everyinthing from bookkeeping to research, database entry, booking travel, and managing email. It can also be an awesome way to rub shoulders with some very important people, build up your professional network, and of course grow another stream of income. You can find great gigs on UpWork, Fiverr, Indeed, and Remote.co.
Hey Arthur, glad you like the site! I don't think bloggers would be against giving free stuff instead of asking money for it. Squeeze pages work fine. But I'd still recommend you build your own site and own platform, its just better in the long run. The way you do it is you create a free post (like this one) with free downloads inside then drive traffic to it. Everyone is happy to link to free info then you can retarget people without too much trouble.
Stay in this niche long enough, and you will unknowingly transform from an affiliate marketeer to a provider of services or a product (mark my words!). Then you too shall be trying to find newbies the 5,000+ people who are logged in on Warrior Forum or other places like Digital Point, etc. and be making a comfortable living, in trying to sell 'stuff' to these people (mostly genuine stuff but equally balanced by a lot of fraudulently pre-packed BS). And the best part is the newbies are in millions! Millions! Imagine the possibility of duping them!
Thanks for the great article. If i'm a manufacture/seller and want hire affiliate to promote our product, which are the most effective ways to do so? To be more specific, we're a start-up selling glass vessel sinks and high end kitchen sinks/faucets(www.arsumo.com).We'd like to give high commission rates for marketers to sell our product (10+%). Our product quality is great and we sell on wayfair and overstock currently but like to grow our own marketing channel. Thank you for your advise! I'm also considering to take your class to dive deeper into the marketer world.
I eventually learned the best model (for me) was to copy what Yoast did… charge a flat free for SEO Audits. People were always super happy with my audits. I still have my SEO audit templates (one for local SEO, national SEO, etc). Sometimes it would only take me 4 hours to write an audit and I would get $750, sometimes more if they wanted a more thorough audit. Maybe I undercharged?
Being an online freelance writer is one type of skill that you can use to make money online. But there are a wide variety of other skills that can be used in a similar manner. Every website and blog on the Internet needs technical skills. This can include graphic design, web design, search engine optimization, social media marketing and promotion, content editing, and so much more.
17. Amazon – Have you heard of FBA? It stands for "Fulfilled by Amazon" and it's getting pretty popular. Basically, you buy products (in bulk is best) and ship them to Amazon for them to store. When your products sell, Amazon packs them up, ships them out and sends you the money (after taking their cut). There are people making a full-time living from FBA, while others just do it for some extra money.
If an affiliate changes the terms of its program, your revenues could be directly affected. Choosing the wrong affiliates can also be problematic if your blog or website audience doesn't feel compelled to buy their products or services. With the affiliate-marketing industry experiencing a boom, you'll also have to contend with competition from other marketers shilling the same affiliate products.
28. Subscription – If you think of something valuable (newsletter, online magazine, etc.) that you can consistently offer on a certain basis (weekly, monthly, etc.), you may want to offer a subscription service. This could be a fee charged each time your product is sent out or on a monthly basis. Either way, this has to be something that your customers can only get by subscribing to your website.
Actually Nunya, Jafar's English is very good, with only a few very minor errors, and far better than most English speakers. It is simply not true that you can "barely read it", it's as good as yours. Most Americans, Australians and British I see online have very poor spelling and grammar, and use memorized abbreviations and SMS-speak instead wherever possible. You cannot sound as if you have something to teach people, if it sounds as if you still have to learn basic literacy yourself!
Often, what happens is that we run into unscrupulous Internet Marketers (IMs) who have less-than altruistic intentions of extracting money from you rather than helping you to make it. However, this isn't something new. People have been falling for networking marketing, pyramid schemes, and affiliate marketing scams since before the start of the net.
Affiliate marketing is one of the various ways to make money online by promoting products or websites to earn a certain percentage as commission from sales made. The sales are made via web traffic. This simply implies that money is made from sales of the product being promoted. What you need to know is that services or products you promote are provided by others and not necessarily you. The only duty you are required to perform is to provide a marketing or sales outlet. So, let's learn how to earn from affiliate marketing.
The audiobook industry is booming, yet only 5% of books ever get made into audio format. If you've got a background in acting, or if people have said you've got a voice made for the radio, you can make extra money recording audio versions of independent and popular books. Sites like ACX connect authors with audiobook performers. So, whether you're an author looking for more ways to sell your book, or an actor/voice actor looking to make some extra income, you can sell your services online.
Fiverr is one of the biggest providers in the gig economy on the web and you can sell a wide variety of services and products through this medium. Do the research and find out what you can offer. However, keep in mind that like any other money-making task, it takes time to succeed here. And stellar reviews will help you generate more and more income over time.
It can take time to build up your personal freelance business. Yet, there is more demand than ever for freelancers. So, if you want to kick start making money online through freelancing you can join one of the top freelance networks, such as UpWork, Fiverr, Guru, Freelancer.com, or PeoplePerHour. Sign up, build your profile, upload some samples of your work and start making extra money by doing small freelance jobs.

Dr. Norton Morton is a leading volcanologist in the state. He was portrayed by Peter Daube (who is also the voice of his monster form Horn-Rimmed Monster).
Dr. Oliver had asked him if he would come to Reefside High School's science class and teach them about volcanoes. Dr. Morton agreed. Dr. Morton was teaching the class when a young girl walked in 20 minutes late for class. Dr. Morton asked who she was and the young girl replied that she was Cassidy Cornell and that she was in his class. Dr. Morton told her that wasn't possible because the class had started 20 minutes ago. Cassidy went into a tirade about unable to do her hair and wearing last year's clothes. Cassidy finally sat down and Dr. Morton continued with his lecture. He asked the class what had was in Reefside a billion years ago. Ethan stated a volcano and the class erupted in laughter. Dr. Morton hushed the class and told them that Ethan was right. He asked Ethan how he knew. Dr. Morton was flattered when Ethan referred to him as a leading volcanologist and Ethan continued with the class studying volcanoes. Dr. Morton complimented Ethan on his reasoning skills and continued with the class. After school, Dr. Morton was working at the blackboard when he heard a sound. He turned around and faced several Tyrannodrones. Scared, he asked them if they were here for detention. Dr. Morton received another shock when Elsa appeared at his side. She looked familiar to him and he told her so. Dr. Morton was distracted when a invisiportal appeared. Dr. Morton reached up a hand towards it and was sound within the invisiportal. Dr. Morton ended up in Mesogog's Island Fortress and was placed into clear container and transformed into the Horn-Rimmed Monster. When the Rangers destroyed the Horn Rimmed Monster, Dr. Morton was returned to normal. He wandered along the city in a daze and Conner asked him if he was okay. Dr. Morton simply began talking about dormant volcanoes suddenly erupting before he went on his way.Isn't it Lava-ly

I know that some of this has been asked before, and from following the Arduino Developers email stuff I know some of these like questions go round and round. But since I just again ran into issue again I thought I would ask.
Suppose I experiment with several different Arduino like boards, mostly with T3.2, but from time to time with some others like Edison, or Adafruit Pro Trinket... How should I handle different libraries?
Current example: I have used Neopixels both on T3.2s and on Pro Trinket. So I install latest Arduino/Teensyduino which includes installing a copy of Adafruit_Neopixel library, which works great when compiling for T3.2s, but when I try to compile for Trinket, library not found. So I install Adafruit_Neopixel library into my Arduino\Libraries folder and it is happy, But now when I compile for T3.2, I get a warning, that the compiler is now using the one I have in Arduino\Libraries and not the Teensyfied version.
Also I am get warnings. Also now when I load Arduino it says some of my libraries are out of date including Adafruit Neopixel. It says I have 1.0.3 installed and current one is 1.0.5. So next question is, if I click update, does it update my User one or does it update the one in the Teensy install or the one in my Arduino\Libraries?

Automation is the reduction of manual tasks by automating them. Usually it is the goal of automation to increase the efficiency of processes by speeding up steps or by reducing the risk of errors. Automation is worth it, if there is a reasonable ROI (Return of Investment). That means that the initial investment of work will be overcompensated in the long run by the increased efficiency and manual work.
Increased Efficiency
The Cloudogu EcoSystem offers several options to automate tasks and therefore to increase efficiency:
Ticket Documentation
By using specified keywords, you can comment on issues and even change their status.
This feature is enabled through SCM-Manager, which can be connected to several different issue trackers, amongst others to Redmine, which is also part of the Cloudogu EcoSystem.
Continuous Integration (CI)
By the correct configuration of Cloudogu EcoSystem it is pretty easy to set up a CI Pipeline, which automatically starts a build after each push as well as a quality analysis and snapshot deployment.
The advantage of the automated Continuous Integration process is the accelerated feedback for the developers:
- The developer immediately gets feedback about the build result.
- Additionally, the developer gets access to the latest result of the quality analysis.
- Thanks to these two results, the developers feel encouraged to push their changes more often. This makes the integration of changes easier (no more "integration hell").

This truck now lives very difficult and sad: most of the "Autoexpert" recognized him Studebaker, and the more advanced the sofa specialists – ZIS-151 either ZIL-157. It is almost forgotten, despite the fact that assessed fairly high in the Great Patriotic this car. It is time to restore a bit of historical justice! So – International M-5H-6.
Many letters in the UK
for sure, many remember the story of, that at the beginning of the second world war and the US government, and South American businessmen built a storm of activity: war, many associated with income. And after the action in the harbor of Pearl Harbor, after which America has officially entered the war, activity on this continent became feverish and altogether. Urgently needed a lot of trucks, who know how to ride on the front line the roads (That is, almost without roads). And there really was not. All, who wanted to make, zasuetilisy. Thus was born the Dodge WC-51 (recognized as the "three-quarters"), Willys MB, GMC CCKW, well,, naturally the same, Studebaker US6. All four of the car we tested — materials are available on the links.
Of course, that at that time more than ever it required the need to harmonize machines. On American trucks were general cargo body, electrical equipment, optics. born of, specializing in the production of standardized parts (recall, for example, United Motors Service, ACDelco future, which with 1918 year belonged to GM). Because we can say, that American trucks in early 1940 had much in common. But along with that there were many differences.
We all remember, as a exquisitely (in comparison with other trucks) Interior looked Studebaker US6. And it nepoprostu: Studebaker produced only passenger cars, at the same time a sufficiently high grade. There's no one in the head does not come, military truck that could be worse than the war itself, and at the same time perfectly sold. So they engage in this nonsense in the form of complex dies and any marketing labels under the hood. Although I will not refute: "Studer" turned out beautiful. Another thing — International.
By the time the M-5H-6 International Harvester Company for more than 100 years engaged in the production of agricultural implements .... Also in 1834 the inventor Cyrus McCormick, founder McCormick Harvesting Machine Company, patented crusher. His son continued his father's work successfully and in 1902 It was renamed in his father's firm International Harvester. About the company, for sure, You can talk for a long time, but I let mention just two curious facts for yourself. In 1-x, this is the company during the second world actively produced one of the most popular American rifles M1 Garand, from which the brave South American same guys thrashed in Korea, and in Vietnam. 2-Second fact more peaceful. I would have said,, even too peaceful.
with about 1960 to 1970 in the United States was a fun subculture as a small commune "joyful Prokaznikov" (Merry Pranksters). Guys are known for, which is very respected LSD (it is a semi-synthetic drugs such, acid, if someone does not know) and promoted its use. They also arranged a tour of America, which in the Russian translation is usually called "dalshe" ( distorted by the British Furthur instead Further). The same title — "Dalshe" — and I got the bus «prokaznikov». The first of these was the International Harvester bus 1939 Year of release, and later it was bought by another — International Harvester 1947 year. And specifically these buses were the first painted in the "acid" colors of the rainbow. A "hippie" Volkswagen T1 are only just copied. So that the palm — у International Harvester. By the way, managing "the naughty" and the main bus driver was Ken Kesey, creator of the novel "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest".
It's all fun, But back to our truck.
Rough, but firmly
Let's start with the frame. International could be 2 kinds — short (3 785 mm) and longish (4 293 mm) base. Our car dlinnobaznaya, which is well seen on the horizontally placed the spare tire. On korotkobaznym machines spare wheel standing upright behind the cab.
Even the photos can be seen, that the frame is not very wiser. The side walls are here made of very thick metal and have no welds or crimps — just two rovnenko sill. Simply, sledgehammer. And there should be as tightly. But there is no. According to the recollections of those, who on these machines had to war, in korotkobaznym "Inter" broke just the same frame. And they broke down immediately behind the cab. The problem lies not only in the frame, but in the rear of the wagon structure.
Here everything is done completely wrong, as our ZIS-6 or GAZ-AAA. And do not even like the South American and German trucks of the time. The International went their method, and the way this turned out reliable, but very, very hard. In this machine balancers through hinges connect the bottom bridges. Top are the push rods. It turns out a kind of hard box, where the frame only balancers are fixed through springs. Because of all of this to the frame are very strong torsional loads. And since the land between the cab and the rear of the cart spot fixing in korotkobaznoy machine gets rather short, at this point the frame and broke. And here at the truck with longish base frame still could get some "play", predotvraschaya its breakdown.
Front suspension completely typical, with lever shock absorbers of bilateral action. Distinguish it just too harsh, even in those days, "locomotive" springs. Generally, behind them even more wild.
A little more unusual is hidden in the transmission of "Inter". In 1-x, conspicuous anthers front axle, made of leather. Well, and secondly — AWD circuit.

This feature provides the very huge speed transfer case Thornton Tamdem Co. By itself, in it there are a number of step-down. Transmission — five-speed, i like u Studebeker.
Now we move on to the motor. At first, with International index M-5-6 were FBC-318B motors (100 l. from.). Then they began to put the FBC-361B, and then changed his. Our machines 1944 model year engine with costs later 111 HP. And if the whole machine gray-green color, the engine here is "red". they say, it could be great to make life easier South American rednecks, not shining literacy, but exploiting these machines even now neubivaemye: engine red color helps them to accurately find, that under the hood is Red Diamond. A is, easier to order parts, which is on sale so far.

This engine overhead valve, but with the carburetor Zenith upflow. Suffice rare combination.
And one more fascinating detail can be found behind the right footrest — Here stands a real brake servo! true, we have it, it seems, does not work.
cab interior M-5H-6 leads to long and remember tractor past the entire International Company. melancholy, citizens. Sad and boring. Neither you vyshtampovok, any interesting design decisions. Despite the fact that, может, it is better, than the modern "piano lacquer" and the tree of the elite types of plastics.
The dashboard nezamudrenaya, like tarpaulin boots: fuel level indicator, ammeters, speedometer, oil pressure and temperature of the cooling water (That is, water). And on the speedometer — cover illumination devices.
A set of switches on the panel is also quite miserable: central light switch (by the way, also unified many South American military trucks), "Leak", egnition lock, fixed gas. And above it all — starter button.
Apparently, Engineers at the International on the panel does not have the strength after working seats. But with him, they tried to. He has the, that at the moment is called the adjustable cushion length. I.e, it can be moved forward or backward, but wherein the rest stand remains motionless at the rear wall of the cab. A very exciting solution. And, It seemed to me, very senseless — comfortable to sit there still nowhere.
Under the seat hidden small tool boxes, and directly under the left foot is the lamb switching between fuel tanks (Two of them are here).
Well, it is time to force it all go!
Crawling on the road
To briefly summarize driving experience of the M-5H-6, that the brain comes to ride a mechanical bull, on which to hang a few seconds. It is exactly the same tryasёt, and do nothing travels. true, bull despite the fact that would be cool on the spot, and turn the M-5H-6 is very difficult: he was clumsy, like a dead mammoth. «Inter» very confident rushing straight, rather loose and in the sand itself showed good fellow. And that is all.
All 111 HP. We went into the engine roar, which the, confess, very nice idling and easily run it cool, What's hot. Surely, this truck is not bad as a tractor or all-terrain vehicle, but go somewhere else how rapidly it is impossible to. His passport and a maximum speed 67 km / h, but in real life ... But in real life at the first bump flying head first into the ceiling, then upholstered seat in the floor. And it — at low speeds.
But good permeability. While I considered crows and staring at something, people staring at a truck, He entered the section with rather loose sand. On an elevated number of "handout" and in third gear gearbox. All, I think, But ... come tractor genes M-5H-6 have the upper hand: has actually idling engine pulled the heavy truck standards even (practically 5 300 kg) machine for hard coat. This petrol motor can envy some modern diesel engines, Ditching Euro-5 and Euro-6.
Theoretically, Transmission can then be synchronized, but without the double soaking ride did not work. Whether age, whether there is truth synchronizers ... Despite the fact that the switch is quite clear, and lack of leverage in only one box — safety "doggy". It does not need to pull up, that it would be more logical, and push down. it's embarrassing.
steering wheel, in my opinion depraved similar appliances, looks fine. Four curved spokes, narrow rim ... Classic!
Look at this publication in Instagram
Why before the steering wheel rim was not only a huge diameter, but very thin section? British scientists group look into the matter, sitting in the International 1944 Year of release. #truck # retro # testdrayv #international

We will not talk here about, as the M-5H-6 "goes straight" and "keeps an arc". Somehow it passes and holding something. Shaking in the cockpit, I thought about, that the element of this car — no asphalt and no betonka (by the way, on them too shakes mercilessly at every bump and pit). for sure, He is good in the mud, where we are, of course, We did not go — in Russia it is the only way a copy of M-5H-6, and destroy it because of our test drayverskih ambitions would be inhumane. For comfort and speed, it significantly falls short of the Studebaker, but head and shoulders above Zisa (in addition to the motor and virtually 40 HP. weaker, and he bolted directly to the frame — shakes even more, rides more quietly). But these machines, for example, put "Katyusha" BM-13. And still pay attention to the right and left hooks on the front of the frame. Left (when viewed from the front) — native, and it was not right, I had to put a hook on ZIS-151. And they are completely identical. Then continue this theme will not: begin uncontrolled wildness views.
... and a few more facts
On the shortcomings of this car I said. But in the course of its operation often complained more and very quickly overgrown soot spark plugs. Likely, business in our petrol, rather than constructive motor deficiencies, but it is very hurt the reputation of the car in the Russian Army.
But a look at this guide for a military truck. I think, These drawings are very cute, isn't it? Germans, for example, sometimes pictured in their manuals naked women. But not for aesthetics, and to somehow make the most Wehrmacht soldiers read manuals. Well, or at least to look at.
And it is impossible not to mention one more detail. In the US, these cars were not so much (they prefer to go to the Soviet Union and China), but they were. And cars with motors Red Diamond played a huge role — They were among the first American truck tractors. Reliability International with this engine, and even on a good road, It was almost phenomenal. Reserve strength bridges, boxes and chassis the car just mad. So that the body shot, We put tow hitch — and in a way. sluggishly, but surely.
We thank the company for providing Retrotruck to test drive a car

READING, PA – History was made by the Wheeling Nailers and Reading Royals on Thursday night at Santander Arena. The two teams played the longest game in each team's history and the 14th longest in the history of the ECHL. The long night ended at 11:22 pm ET on a thrilling note, as 4:22 into the third overtime period, Cody Wydo scored on a breakaway, lifting the Nailers past the Reading Royals, 2-1 at Santander Arena. Franky Palazzese made 42 saves, and assisted on the winning marker.
After a scoreless first period which featured just 15 combined shots on goal, the tie was broken in the early stages of the middle frame. Wheeling cashed in on a man advantage, as Anton Zlobin played the puck up the left wall to Clark Seymour at the left point. With traffic setting up in front of the cage, Seymour let a wrist shot go, getting a deflection from Ty Loney to put the Nailers on the scoreboard.
With 6:58 left in the third period, the Royals tied the score. Yannick Tifu poked a pass through the right side of center ice for Brandon Alderson, who used his speed to race into the offensive zone. Once Alderson separated himself from the defense, he shifted from his forehand to his backhand, sliding a shot under Franky Palazzese's right pad.
The teams proceeded to overtime, then a second extra session, and ultimately a third bonus period, which is when the Nailers finished off the contest. John McCarron chopped a pass ahead to Cody Wydo, sending him on a breakaway through the middle of the ice. Wydo kept the puck on his forehand, snapping a shot into the left side of the goal, ending the longest game in team history with a 2-1 triumph.
Franky Palazzese and Martin Ouellette were spectacular in goal for both teams, as they combined to stop 92 of the 95 shots they faced. Palazzese denied 42 of 43 in the win for Wheeling, while Ouellette was 50-for-52 for Reading.
The Nailers and Royals will have a day to rest before gathering again on Saturday for game five at 7:00. The series will then return to WesBanco Arena for game six on Monday at 7:05.

Have you ever seen Def Leppard in concert?

I have seen them once and they were the best. I was about 15 feet from the stage and I can still remember like it was yesterday even though it was about three years ago. They sang my favorite songs. Granted I had to stand all day in line to get the spots as it was a general admissions concert, but it was well worth it. Joe sang great, Vivian and Phil rocked on, Sav was hot, and Rick amazed me. I loved it so much I wish I could see them again. So what about you?

I was fortunate enough to catch them in concert when I saw them in Glasgow. They were promoting their "Slang" album which is a really interesting album. The support band were Terrorvision and on the night I found them better than the Lepps. Despite this, the whole gig was a good 'un! I adore the Lepps. Great band.

There are so many things to do when you travel to Costa Rica that I had to put them in other sections.
You'll find them on the Navigation Bar on the upper left column of this page. Just look for "More Things to Do" and "Even More to Do!" on the Navigation Bar and you'll experience Costa Rica tourism at its best!
Here's a rather long page about Costa Rica attractions. Some you know about and perhaps some you haven't thought about. If you're intrigued, just click on the links you like and I'll take you there.
Originally discovered and named 'Costa Rica' by Christopher Columbus more than 600 years ago, Costa Rica is still being discovered every day by tourists from around the world. It is a tropical paradise with year-round great weather and a government committed to sustainable development.
In fact, in 2008 a team of Columbia and Yale researchers found that of 149 different countries' studied, Costa Rica was in the top 5 for environmental performance—-far above the United States, Canada, or any other country in the Western Hemisphere.
In a region often known for its instability, Costa Rica stands alone. Though tumultuous Nicaragua is to the north and Panama is to its south, it constitutionally abolished its military nearly 70 years ago. Today, along with Switzerland, it is one of only two countries with no army. The country is particularly famous for its wide biodiversity. There is an abundance of beautiful rain forests, cloud forests, rugged mountains and, of course, its amazing beaches, all close at hand.
Though folks from around the world enjoy Costa Rica attractions, 40% of its tourists come from the United States. That country's economic problems have proven challenging to Costa Rica tourism, which has been struggling.
But, of course, every challenge creates an opportunity and now may be exactly the time to travel to Costa Rica. You will find cheap airfares and some terrific travel and accommodation bargains. The Costa Rica government is trying to stimulate tourism from the Costa Rica Institute of Tourism (ICT) website which contains discount coupons. Google 'visitcostarica.com/crplus' and look for yourself but remember: there are hundreds of hotels, spas, resorts, and other Costa Rica attractions that will also give you a discount—–but you need to ask!
Spectacular Diversity of Life
Many, many tourists will tell you that the two Costa Rica attractions they like best are its diversity of life and volcanoes.
Indeed, Costa Rica is particularly famous for its wildlife.
Did you know that tiny Costa Rica, only about the size of little West Virginia, has more species of butterflies than in all of the countries on the African continent combined?
There are nearly as many different kinds of birds in Costa Rica as in the entire continental United States (and only about 100 fewer species than the entire continent of Europe).
The diversity is simply staggering. Nearly one of every five species of plant and animal on the face of the planet is found in tiny, tiny Costa Rica! You are going to find fascinating tropical rainforests or spectacular cloud forests and beautiful rugged coastlines along two tropical oceans. And, as small as it is, Costa Rica has set aside nearly 25% of the country for the protected national park and wildlife sanctuaries. And, certainly, some of the favorite Costa Rica attractions are volcanoes.
Ever seen a volcano? A real volcano that spectacularly erupts? Go to Arenal Volcano with its hot springs resorts and you can drink your mai tai, camera in hand, photographing Arenal Volcano.
At nearby Lake Arenal, you will find great freshwater fishing at one of the world's best and most famous windsurfing lakes. There is also a real Swiss train that goes to a real Swiss hotel in the mountains of Costa Rica!
There is also Irazu, just outside San Jose. Here, on the day in 1963 that John F. Kennedy visited Costa Rica, a monstrous eruption greeted the President—I like to think of it as a salute. And, only here on a clear day can you drive to the top of its summit, look into its crater, then look west and see the Pacific Ocean, or look east and see the Atlantic ocean. Or, look at both of them at the same time! This ain't Kansas, Toto! Visit Costa Rica volcanoes here, click
Costa Rica's Seven Wonders
Speaking of Costa Rica attractions, do not forget Costa Rica's Seven Wonders, chosen by Ticos themselves.
There are two great volcanoes: mighty Arenal Volcano and spectacular Poas Volcano near San Jose International.
World-famous for its ecotourism is Monteverde Cloudforest Reserve with its great plant and animal diversity—including its spectacular orchids!
Hop a boat for a get-away to magnificent Cocos Island (300 miles off the coast), described as the "most beautiful island in the world" by Jacques Cousteau, a famous pirate island with millions of dollars of still-missing buried treasure, and the best large animal diving anywhere.
The tallest mountain in Central America is called Mount Chirripo where you will hike from tropical forests to glacial lakes.
Unknown to most folks is the Rio Celeste (Celestial River) where the river changes, literally and almost magically, from crystal clear to sky-blue in front of your eyes.
And, for real nature lovers, there is remote Tortuguero National Park along the Caribbean coast, the world's largest protected area for green sea turtles and waters teeming with great sportfish. Don't know about Costa Rica's Seven Wonders? Find out
Don't Forget the Beaches!
For tens of thousands of people each year, the best Costa Rica attractions are its beaches. No visit to the country would be complete without spending some time at the stunning beaches. Indeed, many tourists spend most of their vacation at the beach.
Among the most beautiful in the world, you will find many different types of beaches in Costa Rica: black sand beaches, white sand beaches, coral sand beaches, even boulder strewed rugged beaches.
Most of the most popular resorts and fancy hotels are located on the Pacific coast but you will find that the Caribbean coast also has no shortage of beautiful places to go too.
The Pacific coast is more-and-more Americanized while the Caribbean has a unique, distinctive, Caribbean aura—and is clearly Bob Marley country.
25 More Daytime Costa Rica Attractions
"But, wait", you say. "Are there other Costa Rica attractions?"
Well, yes. In Costa Rica, there are activities to suit just about everyone. Here is a couple of dozen more.
While you can go in for extreme sports, many people take part in swimming, laying back, girl watching, and sunbathing, all pastimes which are particularly popular for tourists to Costa Rica.
And, if that is not enough Costa Rica attractions, here are a few more things to do to keep you busy during the days:
1. Fish the deep sea for marlin (I recently fought a 450 pounder before releasing it), sailfish, huge tarpon, snook, and dozens of other varieties.
2. Surf! Don't know how? Go surfing school.
3. Raft or kayak in some of the world's best whitewater or leisurely raft a tropical river with the kids.
4. The sailor takes a dinner cruise.
5. Windsurf at Lake Arenal, considered the second-best place in the world. 6. Defy death and bungee jump into deep canyons or at night.
7. Be an eco tourist.
8. Zipline 80 feet up the air through tropical forests.
9. Become a bullfighter. But beware that in Costa Rica the bulls cannot be harmed, anybody can jump into the ring with these critters, and you can buy insurance just before you take your life into your hands.
10. Take a horseback ride in the mountains, along the beaches, or even across the entire country.
11. Take a hot air balloon ride or go hang gliding.
12. Become a canyoneer and rappel tropical waterfalls.
13. All aboard!!! Take a train ride—in a genuine Swiss train to a genuine Swiss mountain hotel or from San Jose to the beach.
14. Visit a tiny park, Corcovado, only half the size of NYC but the most biologically intense place on earth.
15. Scuba dive or skin dive in a Caribbean marine park at the largest coral reef in the country.
16. Watch whales (Costa Rica has the world's longest whale-watching season). Or wonder at the nesting sea turtles, returning to the same beaches their ancestors did in the days of dinosaurs.
17. Enjoy tropical gardens or tour plantations where the finest coffee in the world is grown.
18. Hike, bike, rent motorcycles or ATVs.
19. Take a walk on the wild side into the crater of an active volcano.
20. Visit an African wildlife park–in northern Costa Rica.
21. Take a photography tour.
22. Go on a volunteer vacation.
23. Golf on tropical courses designed by world-famous builders.
24. Visit indigenous villages or the famous lost city at Guayabo National Park.
25. Take a Spanish course. Cheap, fun, great way to make new friends.
Need more ideas? I have more (but you need to visit more pages of this site to see them)!
Nighttime Costa Rica Attractions
The capital is definitely worth a visit too. For many men–and an increasing number of couples and women, it holds some very special adult Costa Rica attractions.
At night, San Jose and most of the beach communities provide lots of adult entertainment.
Restaurants, theatres, cinemas, bars, nightclubs (many, very adult in tone and tenor), gambling, and . . .
beautiful women—what happens here, stays here.
And for lesbians and gays, there are an increasing number of places to go and things to do as well
