In high school, no one taught me what literature is.
I don't think the school district was to blame. Although I grew up in Texas with all of its bizarre educational inclusions and exclusions (see: abstinence-only sex ed, hints at creationism, and a year-long course designed specially to ensure that we "Remember the Alamo!"), my required readings seemed pretty much par for the course.
There were many well-crafted dystopian universes urging us that books should not be burned, language should not be condescended, and soma should be avoided. This makes a lot of sense. Look at the most popular Young Adult novels today -- teenagers love reading about the world ending, because to them, on any given day, it is.
There was also Shakespeare and his innuendo, Mark Twain and his sharp satirical tongue, Dickens and his heartfelt chronicling of social injustice. These are important books with digestible themes, and should be taught. But I packed my bags for college having read every single one of Shakespeare's plays and Twain's novels, but not knowing who Jorge Luis Borges or Doris Lessing were. And I considered myself an avid reader! This is a huge problem.
If my high school English education is guilty of one depravity, it is this: It taught me that history's greatest minds were usually white men who wrote almost exclusively about the American, or at least Western, experience. It taught me that literature means discussing this canon and its recurring themes with words like "allophone" and "anastrophe" and "alliteration". When it came to discussing books, words like "exploration" were just footnotes.
I've discussed this with friends, and their response is always the same: Kids don't like to read, so piling on more thematically foreign, and therefore challenging, work would be an even bigger deterrent.
This seems backwards to me. Kids opposed to more traditional learning are often looking for an escape -- video games, comic books, hard drugs. So why not literature? Exploring new cultures and perspectives doesn't have to be more difficult than treading known territory. Isn't hopping into the minds and lives of others supposed to be what makes literature not only important, but fun?
In a freshman survey course required for all students at the state college I attended, we read Brecht, Voltaire and Dostoyevsky, but the class responded most warmly to Nadine Gordimer and Ha Jin, writers who never so much as glossed over topics like The Civil War and the American Dream. I think it's because we felt transported -- a feeling we'd never associated with learning and knowledge.
Here are 9 books they SHOULD teach in American high schools, for a refreshing break from the same-old, same-old. What books do YOU think should be make high schools' required reading lists? Let me know in the comments!
An accesible introduction to the renowned Japanese writer that covers music, Tokyo culture and playful, post-modern language.
This novella by one of China's most revered writers characterizes love, family and everyday life in 1940s Shanghai in a way that's both light and historically illuminating.
Many books taught in American literature classes focus on our country's social injustices, and offer little outside perspective, so Gordimer's work predicting the end of apartheid would accompany Civil War readings very well.
That García Márquez is not taught in most schools is disappointing. His use of magical realism would appeal to young readers, and help reel them into his vivid descriptions of familial relations and South American history.
The source material for Danny Boyle's "Slumdog Millionare" is as entertaining as the movie. It informs readers about India's lower castes - their religion, their struggles, and their fixation with stardom.
Lahiri won the Pulitzer for her collection, "Interpreter of Maladies," but "The Namesake" may be a worthier book for young readers. It chronicles the life of a boy who has mistakenly been given his nickname as his legal name, and describes how this event has impacted his life. The book illustrates the impact of assimilation and cultural differences for immigrants in America.
Munro is a much-celebrated Canadian author who is largely ignored in high school and college literature courses. Her tales of small-town life may not make sweeping political statements, but they offer deft insights into romance, growing up and the female psyche.
This book could be enjoyed in lieu of "Heart of Darkness," Conrad's dogmatic critique of colonialism, which most high schoolers dislike if they bother to read it at all. Kincaid's book is about the tourism industry and colonial history of Antigua, where she grew up. It modernizes an important theme and does so using beautiful language.
Pamuk constantly sheds light on conflicts and differences between Eastern and Western cultures, which converge in his hometown of Istanbul. The particular book covers the topic in a readable manner: It incorporates romance and philosophical mysteries.

An average Hospital Unit Clerk in the United States can expect to take home roughly $13.34 per hour. Pay generally varies between $10.10 per hour and $20.09. Job satisfaction for Hospital Unit Clerks is high. Unfortunately, some people in this line of work are without benefits — close to one-fifth lack coverage. On the flip side, a fair number have medical insurance and more than half receive dental plans. The vast majority of Hospital Unit Clerks (89 percent) who participated in the survey are women. The information for this rundown comes from respondents who completed PayScale's salary questionnaire.

Hospital unit clerks are responsible for performing a variety of administrative, clerical, and clinical activities in their hospital's unit. These individuals are in charge of ensuring their assigned area of the hospital is clean, answering phone systems and processing calls as required, transcribing medical instructions, and communicating with patients. Hospital unit clerks also maintain unit supplies and order new ones when needed, as well as route medical orders to appropriate staff.Read More...
Other tasks performed by hospital unit clerks include adding data to databases as required, performing receptionist functions, and providing excellent service to patients at all times. Hospital unit clerks also provide clinical support as required and provide medical supplies to nurses, medics, and specialists. These individuals create appointments and follow hospital schedules to prevent incidents, as well as follow all relevant confidentiality and privacy procedures.
A high school diploma or equivalent is generally required for this position, and previous clerking experience is typically required or preferred as well. Hospital unit clerks must work well in a team setting and on their own with minimal supervision, as well as be proficient with basic computer programs such as the Microsoft Office suite. They also must be familiar with relevant medical terminology.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
Workers with less than five years' experience earn around $27K on average, and those who have five to 10 years under their belts see a higher median salary of $28K. After working for 10 to 20 years, Hospital Unit Clerks make a median salary of $33K. Survey respondents who have worked for more than 20 years actually report somewhat lower incomes of $30K.

text: The Rainbow Warrior documented the fishing activities of three Italian purse seine fishing vessels, the Ligny Primo, the Maria Antonietta and the Luca Maria. One of those vessels, the Luca Maria, is not included on the ICCAT register of fishing vessels licensed to fish for bluefin tuna. The Italian fleet was surrounded by spotter planes during the whole fishing operation. At around 12:30, the three boats set their nets and made a catch. The spotter planes continued circling the purse seiners until the fishing operation was complete.The use of spotter planes to find tuna is banned under the ICCAT bluefin tuna recovery plan. Greenpeace identified four spotter planes, three American and one Italian. According to informal sources a fleet of between 10 and 15 spotter planes are operating from the Italian island of Lampedusa."We have been observing spotter planes regularly since we started our work in the region one month ago, but today we have been able to clearly identify the airplanes and the fleets they were operating with," said Sebastián Losada, Greenpeace Spain oceans campaigner onboard the Rainbow Warrior. "The European fleet is one of the main fleets responsible for illegal catches of bluefin tuna in the Mediterranean. If European countries are not able to control their fleets, the vessels should be called back into port immediately."The bluefin tuna fishery has one of the highest rates of illegal fishing in the world. In recent years around 50,000 tonnes of bluefin tuna have been caught every year, despite the legal annual quota for the species being 32,000 tonnes until last year. Illegal activities such as the use of spotter planes and the use of transport vessels to launder catches are known to be widespread in the region.The new ICCAT bluefin tuna recovery plan that entered into force on Wednesday allows for the capture of 29,500 tonnes of bluefin tuna, despite the fact that ICCAT's own scientists recommended a maximum quota of 15,000 tonnes to recover the stock."The plan agreed by ICCAT countries allocates quotas at twice the level recommended by their own scientists. It simply does not deserve the name 'recovery plan'," Losada said. "The 15,000 tonne quota recommended by scientists has most likely already been reached, so the fishery should be closed immediately". Greenpeace is campaigning for a global network of fully protected marine reserves covering 40% of our oceans as an essential way to protect the full range of marine life and restore the health of fish stocks. As part of this campaign, the Rainbow Warrior is currently in the Mediterranean documenting threats to the sea and confronting the tuna fleets that are wiping out the last of the great fish in the area.Greenpeace is an independent campaigning organisation that uses non-violent creative confrontation to expose global environmental problems to drive solutions that are essential to a green and peaceful future.

Straight Talk: Reader from Auburn asks for advice on boyfriend's addiction
Dear Straight Talk: Please help. I am 22 and have been with my boyfriend for two years. He was the greatest person – that is, until some personal problems led him to try meth. He was instantly addicted. He is such a different person today and I often think about leaving him. But then I remember who he used to be and try to have hope. He has tried to quit but keeps relapsing. What can I do for him and how I can keep my hopes up? ~ Laurie, Auburn
Kira, 20, Moraga: My friend's boyfriend was the same way. I'm not sure what he was using, but it was bad. It got to where my friends and I couldn't hang out with her. She wasn't oblivious to his problem, but he was always so high she couldn't reason with him. All their arguments were about the same thing. She finally got the courage to break up with him, which made him finally listen.
Brie, 20, Santa Barbara: From what I saw of a friend's meth addiction, the only way to get clean is rehab. My friend was 15, and though he wanted to be clean, he had to be forced because he never would go voluntarily. This is typical. He, like others, became a completely different person. He did more than a year in lockdown rehab where he wasn't allowed to contact anybody. He's been clean five years now and is absolutely gorgeous. He has turned his life around and helps other people get clean. So, I know your boyfriend can do it, too, but it takes a lot of work.
Colin, 18, Sacramento: Meth isn't pot. It will destroy his life. I doubt an intervention will work, so unless you own a treatment facility and have the physical force to get him there, contact the police. Don't worry about him being sentenced to jail. That hardly ever happens anymore in California, thanks to our informed voters. Also, don't tell him you're going to call; he might get angry. Yes, calling the cops is extreme, but meth is extreme. He either gets caught now, or a year from now, when he looks 70 and is doing anything for his next hit. Your call.
Jaclyn, 25, Boise, Idaho: How awful. Most important is to make sure you aren't enabling his behavior. If he has you to lean on, it can inadvertently make him keep doing what he's doing. When a bad habit is severe, a person has to get so fed up with themselves that they are forced to make a change – or lose what they love. I would tell him to check into a rehab facility, and then I would check myself out of the relationship until he proves his sobriety. Don't sacrifice your own potential for his bad choices. Hopefully he will overcome his addiction – and if not, there is a better man out there for you. Life is already hard. Choose a partner willing to battle life WITH you, not someone who will BE the battle.
Dear Laurie: Each panelist shares a profound wisdom that I agree with. You don't say if his parents know of his addiction. Parents can sometime "force" an adult child into rehab using the power of their parental authority. If that route fails, consider an intervention with the help of a treatment center (see www.casacolumbia.org for a listing of centers – or call 1-800-662-HELP if you have no money or insurance). If that fails, I'm totally with Colin. Report his use to police. Don't waste any more time. He will thank you later for saving his life. For your hopes, if you don't already pray, now is the time to start.

More from Lauren Forcella
Methamphetamine, crystal meth, or just meth, has changed recreational drug use. Most hard-core tweakers inject meth, but it can also be smoked and snorted. Because of this, many people (especially adolescents) don't take it seriously enough. Having a bad week? Need a euphoric break? What can one hit, or one line, do? A lot. Fifty percent of people who try meth only once become seriously addicted. Ninety percent become seriously addicted after their second use. Made with Drano and brake fluid, meth is such a severe brain toxin it drains the life and joy from a person very quickly, aging users beyond recognition in just a couple of years. Relapse is common and getting clean almost always requires help. Parents, please tell your kids how addicting and poisonous meth is, show them before-and-after pictures, tell them not to try meth for anything. And please intervene to the height of your powers at the first suspicion of use.
It is a failure of modern society that for adolescence (now proven by brain studies to go up to age 25), a family cannot legally force, with due cause, their over-18 adolescent into rehab. In earlier, family-bonded societies, it would be unthinkable to let a poison ravage a family member into an unrecognizable form. Out of love, the family or shamans of the tribe would take the person (regardless of age or consent) into the wilderness and retrieve his spirit from the demons. Today's rehab centers are the modern-day version of this. Only today, love doesn't determine who gets forced into rehab, age 18 does. Those over 18 are left to "decide" on their own – even though a drug like meth leaves them no mind to decide with. Call me the village idiot, but this law is unloving. That's why I tell parents to "act as if" and force their adolescent child into rehab anyway, regardless of his or her age. A parent, simply by being the parent, has more persuasive power than our laws tell us we have.

Jarius Wright has looked good but still ranks No. 2 to Marcus Sherels as punt returners for the Minnesota Vikings, special teams coordinator Mike Priefer said at the team's practice Monday, Aug. 27, at Winter Park.
Wright, a rookie out of Arkansas, returned two punts for 29 yards including a 24-yarder late in the fourth quarter that led to Minnesota's only touchdown in its 12-10 home exhibition loss to the San Diego Chargers on Friday.
"He's improved every week, so I'm pleased by that," Priefer said. "I think Marcus is going to be a good punt returner as well, so competition is a great thing in all these spots."
Priefer said the 180-pound Wright went down too easily on his 24-yard return or the play might have resulted in a touchdown because two more players were set up for blocks ahead of him.
"I don't think he ran with enough conviction there," Priefer said. "When he saw it on tape I think he believed what I was telling him. I said, 'You got to run hard.' ... He's not a real big guy, but he's strong enough to break through those arm tackles."
Asked if Wright's play gives the coaching staff enough confidence to use him regularly on punt returns, Priefer said he will defer comment until after the Vikings' final exhibition game on Thursday night, Aug. 30, at Houston.

ABSTRACT: The binding of gallium (Ga) to transferrin (Tf) was studied in plasma from control patients, in patients with untreated Parkinson's disease (PD) and in patients with PD treated either with levodopa (L-dopa) alone or in combination with selegiline. Mean percentage Ga-Tf binding was significantly reduced in untreated and treated PD compared with controls. Binding, however, was significantly greater in treated than in untreated patients. There was no difference in binding between patients treated with L-dopa alone and those treated with L-dopa and selegiline. The data support the hypothesis that oxidation reactions may be of pathogenic significance in PD.Neuroreport 03/1997; 8(3):709-11. DOI:10.1097/00001756-199702100-00026 · 1.52 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: Chronic exposure to aluminium (Al) remains a controversial possible cause of sporadic forms of Alzheimer's disease (AD). This article reviews the evidence that once Al enters the brain and individual brain cells, it may be involved in three pathological processes: (1) the production of abnormal forms of tau leading to the formation of cellular neurofibrillary tangles and neuropil threads; (2) the processing of the amyloid precursor protein, resulting in the formation of beta-amyloid deposits and senile plaques, and (3) that via the mutual histocompatibility system, Al could be involved in the initiation of the immune response observed in AD patients. Despite recent evidence that Al could be involved in these processes, a conclusive case that exposure to Al initiates the primary pathological process in sporadic AD remains to be established.Dementia (Basel, Switzerland) 01/1996; 7(1):1-9.

ABSTRACT: A hypothesis that a metal-induced immune disorder may be involved in the pathogenesis of some forms of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is presented. The classical complement pathway is activated in AD and T cells and reactive microglia appear in the brain. Studies of metal induced autoimmunity and the use of compounds containing aluminium as vaccine adjuvants suggest that metals can activate complement and can be taken up by antigen presenting cells. The consequent immune response could contribute to neuronal damage, beta-amyloid deposition and cell death. The strengths and weaknesses of this hypothesis are discussed and tests of some aspects are proposed.Neurodegeneration 04/1995; 4(1):107-11. DOI:10.1006/neur.1995.0013
Article: The Levels of Neopterin, Biopterin and the Neopterin/Biopterin Ratio in Urine from Control Subjects and Patients with Alzheimer's Disease and Down's Syndrome[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The levels of neopterin, biopterin and the neopterin/biopterin ratio (N/B) were measured in urine samples taken from normal young and elderly control subjects, exceptionally healthy elderly control subjects classified according to the 'Senieur' protocol and patients with Down's syndrome (DS) or Alzheimer's disease (AD). The N/B ratio was approximately unity in control groups with the exception of the normal elderly controls. The levels of neopterin and biopterin declined with age in the exceptionally healthy 'Senieur' control group. The N/B ratio was elevated in young and old DS patients as a result of the significant increase in neopterin. Neopterin levels were significantly elevated in AD patients compared with the healthy elderly controls, but this did not result in a significant increase in the N/B ratio in these patients. The N/B ratio increased with age in AD patients as a result of a decline in biopterin. These results suggested that there is a cellular immune reponse in DS and AD patients which in DS, may precede the formation of beta-amyloid deposits in the brain. In addition, there may be a deficiency in tetrahydrobiopterin biosynthesis in AD which becomes more marked with age.01/1995; 6(4). DOI:10.1515/pteridines.19184.108.40.206
Article: Elevated urinary neopterin suggests immune activation in Alzheimer's disease and Down's syndrome[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Neopterin, an unconjugated pteridine, is secreted in large quantities by activated macrophages and can be used as a clinical marker of activated cellular immunity in a patient. Hence, neopterin levels were measured in urine samples taken from patients with Down's syndrome (DS), non-hospitalized and hospitalized Alzheimer's disease (AD) and age and sex matched controls. All subjects and patients were free from infectious and malignant disease. A significant effect of age on urinary neopterin levels was found in control subjects, levels being greater in younger and older subjects. No significant trends with age were found in AD and DS patients. The mean level of neopterin was significantly increased in DS and AD compared with age matched controls suggesting immune activation in these patients. In DS, elevated neopterin levels were present in individuals at least 17yrs old suggesting that immune activation could be associated with the initial deposition of beta/A4 in the brain.

Season FOUR OFFICIAL TNG Blu-Ray Discussion Thread

Location: San Francisco Bay Area, CA
Re: Season FOUR OFFICIAL TNG Blu-Ray Discussion Thread
I'm not sure if Remember Me is brilliant or Ridiculous. I mean there are some lines where I just roll the eyes, like Picard's "We've never needed a crew before" line. Still, maybe it was the high concept sci fi because it's a great episode and probably Gates McFadden's best show. I also loved seeing the spacedock in HD again, as I still think the one shown in 11001001 was a beautiful shot. As for the mist, nice job from Modern Video actually making it look like mist. Maybe the Enterprise itself is hard to remaster because of the model limitations, but I'm loving all the exterior shots and the like. I just wish there were more exterior shots, and I'm looking forward to Final Mission because of that.

(Adds Klinsmann quotes)
Feb 6 (Reuters) - The United States' bid for a place in Brazil 2014 suffered an early setback with a 2-1 defeat to Honduras in San Pedro Sula on Wednesday in the opening match of final round of CONCACAF qualifying.
Nine games remain for Juergen Klinsmann's U.S. team as they bid for a spot in the finals but with their next away game a tough trip to Mexico City, the loss puts pressure on the Americans.
In hot and humid conditions, the U.S. struggled to find any sort of tempo but they grabbed the lead in the 35th minute thanks to some inspired individual play.
Midfielder Jermaine Jones lofted the ball gently over the home defence with a perfectly weighted pass to Clint Dempsey and the Tottenham striker finished superbly with a well-timed volley.
But the lead lasted just four minutes with Honduras midfielder Juan Carlos Garcia equalising with a brilliant overhead kick from inside the penalty area.
Honduras dominated the second half with strike pairing Jerry Bengtson and Carlo Costly causing plenty of problems for a shaky looking new U.S. central defensive duo of Geoff Cameron and Omar Gonzalez.
Costly had an effort ruled out for offside and then headed just wide while Oscar Boniek Garcia flashed a drive just wide of Tim Howard's right hand post.
It was no real surprise then, when Honduras grabbed the winner with 12 minutes of normal time remaining - Bengtson, who plays in the U.S. for New England Revolution, took advantage of some woeful defending and slotted into an empty net.
Few would argue with the outcome as Honduras had a better shape and looked more comfortable on the ball while the U.S. struggled physically in the heat and lacked width in midfield and solidity at the back.
The U.S. return to action against Costa Rica in Denver on March 22 and with a road trip to face Mexico in Mexico City four days later they will be desperate for a win.
"It is a tough start. We knew that, three games out of four are away from home but it is what it is and so we have to fix it now against Costa Rica and then in Mexico," Klinsmann told ESPN.
The former Germany national team coach said his choice of Gonzalez and Cameron had not been the decisive factor.
"I think they did a solid job, I mean this is a learning curve.
"It is a curve that we have to go through even if, here and there, a mistake will happen," he said.
Six teams are battling for three automatic qualification spots from CONCACAF for the finals in Brazil next year with the fourth-placed team playing off with the champion of the Oceania region.
Later on Wednesday, Mexico host Jamaica while Costa Rica travel to Panama. (Reporting by Simon Evans in Miami; Editing by Frank Pingue)

Things are never that serene inside a Chuck E. Cheese restaurant, what with all the overstimulated children running around and all, but things got especially wild at a Chuck E. Cheese in Dearborn, Michigan, yesterday when a brawl broke out during a birthday party.
It all started when a woman, who was attending her grandchild's birthday party, found the language people were using at the next table over to be inappropriate. I can't say I blame them for swearing while having to spend time in a Chuck E. Cheese, but they probably should have done it the old fashioned way, by cursing quietly under their breath. Unfortunately, their behavior got even worse when the grandmother asked them to "keep the swearing down." They flew off the handle, and things got violent quickly. As she describes it,
It got into a confrontation where they came across at our table and a number of us were assaulted and the table flipped and I ended up underneath of that.Whoa! The grandmother, who wants to remain anonymous, was taken to the hospital and treated for her injuries. She was quite bruised up from the incident, and if they can find the man who hit her, he could be charged for assault. So far, they don't know the man's identity, but they are actively searching from him.
According to Fox 2, Chuck E. Cheese brawls are becoming increasingly common. It could have something to do with the fact that they serve beer to adultsand drunk adults plus crazed children does sound like a particularly potent combination that could lead to all manner of unpleasantnessbut in this case, it doesn't seem that beer played any role.
As grandma said, "I don't think it was alcohol-related. I think it was just their particular demeanor." Yes, it takes quite a "demeanor" to swear loudly in a kids' restaurant and punch a grandma!

Healthy is merely the slowest possible rate at which one can die.
I like how a rat can go running around in the middle of Chuck E Cheese's and people actually find it entertaining, while in other restaurants, it would get the place closed down.
they must put coke in the food, that guy was probably just overdosing
we don't have to make love to have an orgasm
Chuck E. Cheese always smells like ripened cheese and feet. And there's hardly a difference. I can't believe I used to like that damn place as a child. If I ever were to have kids, they won't be partying there!
Bitch had it coming. If she wasn't looking for a fight, she never would have gone into a Chuck E. Cheese establishment. It's famous for the fights!

Laguna Las ...GuatemalaAgricultureFunding via Friendship Bridge
Dúo Lindo A...GuatemalaAgricultureFunding via FAPE
De La Buena Esperanza Group
Every three weeks, on Mondays, the women of De La Buena Esperanza gather in the Barranche community to attend Friendship Bridge's repayment or savings meetings.
These women are mostly in the business of livestock breeding. The breeding of chickens, pigs and cows is a good business. Some of them breed chickens exclusively, while others combine the breeding of different animals. In actuality, it really depends on the demand in the market.
The women of De La Buena Esperanza had previously requested a loan from Friendship Bridge. They believe that receiving a loan is a great idea because it helps them greatly in their business being that this loan is one of the few - if not the only - source of credit to which they have had access.
Some of them believe that a loan is a tool they can use to, one, come out of poverty, and two, gain a certain independence. This is due to the fact that when they invest the loan in their business, and it grows along with its utility, the women will have extra income for them to invest or spend at their disposition.
However, the battle to escape poverty is long and harsh. For the time being, the women must earn enough to cover their families' baS. needs. They mentioned that covering their household's baS. expenses was the most difficult for them.
Through Kiva, you can help these women fight against poverty. Please support them in their fight!
Translated from Spanish by Evelyn Garcia, Kiva Volunteer.
Cada tres semanas los días lunes las mujeres De la Buena Esperanza se juntan en la comunidad de Barranche para asistir a las reuniones de repago o de ahorro de Friendship Bridge.
Este grupo de señoras se dedican mayormente a la crianza de animales. La crianza de pollos, cerdos y toros es un buen negocio. Algunas señoras se dedican exclusivamente a la crianza de pollos, mientras que otras combinan la crianza de distintos animales. Realmente, depende de la demanda del mercado.
Las mujeres De la Buena Esperanza ya habían solicitado un crédito anteriormente con Friendship Bridge. Ellas piensan que solicitar un crédito es una gran idea porque las ayuda mucho en su negocio, ya que este crédito es una de las muy pocas, sino lo única, fuente de crédito a las cual ellas han tenido acceso.
Algunas piensan que el crédito es una herramienta que ellas utilizan para, uno salir de la pobreza y dos para ganar cierta independencia. Esto se debe a que cuando ellas invierten el crédito en su negocio y este crece al igual que sus utilidades, las señoras van a tener un dinero extra que ellas pueden invertir o gastar a su disposición.
Sin embargo, la lucha de salir de la pobreza es dura y larga. Por el momento, las señoras tienen que ganar lo suficiente para cubrir las necesidades básicas de su familia. Ellas mencionaron que cubrir los gastos de la canasta básica era lo más duro para ellas.
Ustedes por medio de Kiva pueden ayudar a estas señoras a luchar contra la pobreza. ¡Acompáñenlas en su lucha!
Additional Information
About Friendship BridgeThis loan is administered by Friendship Bridge (FB), a nonprofit, nongovernmental organization that empowers thousands of impoverished Guatemalan women through its Microcredit Plus program. The program combines small loans averaging US$350 for four-to-twelve month loan terms with non-formal, participatory education.
As FB clients, women start, expand, or diversify their businesses and learn practical lessons on topics including business, health, and self-esteem. FB's clients borrow as a group, forming Trust Banks (groups of 7-25 women who serve as co-guarantors of the loan and act as a self-regulating support network).
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Grace Free Will Baptist Church welcomes all to their place of worship, but this evening just after their Sunday night service ended they got an unexpected visitor.
"It was kind of like you're in the twilight zone. It's really unexpected. We're just very thankful noone was hurt. There was some damage to the property, but bricks can be replaced," Pastor Gary Johnson said.
A couple was driving on Scottsville-Alvaton Rd. when their car overheated and stopped. The couple pushed the car down a hill to stop at the church parking lot but, the car's breaks went out and it kept going, smashing into the church.
Kentucky State Police said no charges will be filed because of the accident and Pastor Johnson said they hope to have the church fully functional by next Sunday's service.

SAN DIEGO - A scenic toll road that connects Tijuana to Ensenada collapsed early Saturday.
The collapse on the coastal road occurred at kilometer 93 + 500 near Ensenada, according to a report on Ensenada.net. The collapse appears to have been caused by a landslide under the coastal road.
Jean-Loup Bitterlin, the president of the Hotel Association of Ensenada told 10News the portion of road that collapsed was in process of being repaired. He says crews are going to have to build an alternate detour route so they can work on the repair site.
Traffic has been diverted to the old inland access road. No injuries were reported. Officials say repairs could take more than a year.

Fish are too smart, big, fast, and numerous for jellyfish to come anywhere close to getting an upper hand.
Does the abundance of jellyfish in the ocean pose a threat to us?
And so, quietly, notch by notch, jellyfish continue to inherit damaged ecosystems.
His first feature film, jellyfish Eyes, debuted last year and was set in a town near a threatening nuclear power plant.
jellyfish blooms are the visible evidence that something is out of balance.
The jellyfish was then summoned to the King's presence, and was told by his Majesty what was required of him.
In fact, animals like jellyfish and worms are lungs all over.
By this I mean that it leaves a trace in the physical realm, like a jellyfish that leaves a glowing trail in its wake.
It is of interest to consider a common animal like the jellyfish Aurelia.
He was using the jellyfish as an example of a life form all but invisible.
