Solver can put the network or relevant nodes under low or high load to find functional problems or quality issues. Solver helps to considerably improve business productivity, drastically decrease roll-out time of new technologies, reduce time to market, and allows faster response to ever-changing market demands.

Update on DamarisDamaris is 48 years old and lives with her husband and three children in the Fray Casiano, Puntarenas zone. It's a poor neighborhood with many limitations. [Damaris] is a person with many desires of getting ahead. She has been making arts and crafts for the past ten years. She is constantly teaching herself so that she can offer high quality products to her customers. Aside from decorations, she makes quality purses, covers for appliances, bath articles, and products for birthday parties, first communions, and baptisms. She is well known in the zone for being dedicated to this work and so she is not in need of customers during the year.
She began by buying a small amount of items with her husband's help, began training herself and improving her techniques. She diversified her production, increasing her number of customers, and improving her income. The goal for this loan is to buy supplies and some tools. Schools from the area seek her out to make things for school parties due to the quality of her work.
She works throughout most of the day and her daughter is in university. Her younger children attend school. Her first daily task is to prepare food for them so they can go to school. Given the great quantity of orders, she works into the night. She does her work by hand but once the machine is repaired things will speed up and she can increase her production and spend more time with her family.
Her main obstacle has been lack of capital, but this loan will allow her to have the money she needs to buy supplies and increase her production and reach her dream of fixing up her hose. She repaid her first loan and wants to continue having support from Fundación Mujer and Kiva so she can support her children's educations.
Damaris tiene 48 años de edad vive con su esposo y 3 hijos en la zona de Fray Casiano, Puntarenas, es un barrio pobre y como muchas limitaciones. La clienta se presenta como una persona con muchos deseos de superarse, se dedica a la elaboración de manualidades y artesanías desde hace 10 años. Ella está en constante capacitación para ofrecer a sus clientes productos de mayor calidad. Además de adornos, elabora bolsos, ropa para artículos electrodomésticos y para el baño y productos para fiestas de cumpleaños y otras actividades como primera comunión y bautizos, manejando productos de calidad, es ampliamente conocida en la zona por dedicarse a este trabajo, por lo que no le falta clientela durante el año.
Inició comprando una pequeña cantidad de material con ayuda de su esposo hace 10 años, empezó a capacitarse y mejorar las técnicas y por ende diversificar su producción, aumentando su clientela y mejorando sus ingresos, el objetivo de este préstamo es comprar materia prima y algunas herramienta, ya que dada la calidad de su trabajo la buscan de escuelas y colegios de la zona para elaborar materiales alusivos a fiestas del calendario escolar.
Ella se dedica a su trabajo durante la mayor parte del día, su hija mayor está en la Universidad y los menores de edad se encuentran estudiando, por lo que su primer labor del día es prepararles la comida para que vayan al colegio y escuela, debido a la gran cantidad de encargos trabaja hasta altas horas de la noche, ya que realiza el trabajo de forma manual, pero una vez reparada la máquina este se agilizará incrementando así su producción y el tiempo que comparte con su familia.
La limitante principal ha sido la falta de dinero, pero esta oportunidad de crédito le va a permitir contar con capital para comprar materia prima y poder así incrementar su producción, y cumplir así el sueño de arreglar su casa. Ella canceló su primer préstamo y desea continuar teniendo el apoyo de Fundación Mujer y KIVA para apoyar a sus hijos en el estudio.

Additional Information
More information about this loan
In Costa Rica, funding for microfinance institutions is hard to come by, and many institutions find themselves having difficulty growing and reaching all the demand for loans that exist. Kiva works with Fundacion Mujer because it attends a very marginalized population in Costa Rica, with a specific focus on women. In addition to the loan, Fundacion Mujer provides specialized training programs for their borrowers on everything from computer classes to salon training. Because of the difficulty in obtaining capital in Costa Rica, Fundacion Mujer cannot serve all the women that need loans. Therefore Kiva plays a unique role in helping Fundacion Mujer grow its portfolio and reach borrowers it otherwise would not be able to.
About Fundacion Mujer:Fundación Mujer is an organization specializing in the financial and personal development of female entrepreneurs in Costa Rica. They seek to reach underserved populations that may include indigenous communities, immigrants, refugees, victims of domestic violence or women living with HIV/AIDS. Fundación Mujer offers courses in both business and personal development, as well as training in concrete skills such as sewing and other crafts.
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

"Découverte de Panama"
Nous avons séjourné une semaine à 4 adultes de + de 60 ans dans le bel appartement de Patty à Casco Viejo. Nous avons tout aimé: c'est un endroit très agréable, spacieux et joliment décoré en plein coeur du vieux quartier.
On peut tout trouver autour, de nombreux restaurants et commerces. Il est très agréable de rentrer "chez soi" après avoir beaucoup marché et de diner de ceviche dans la jolie vaisselle.
Patty est une hôtesse charmante et attentionnée qui parle aussi bien français qu'anglais ou allemand (ou espagnol..) Nous avons aussi profité des excursions proposées par Rudy.
Nous avons donc passé un excellent séjour à Panama city et nous le conseillons vivement.
"Great condo in Casco Viejo"
I can only agree with all of the the other positive reviews on this site. Patty and Rudy have a beautiful condo in a great location in Casco Viejo. The unit is clean, secure, and comes with all of the comforts of home including a fully equipped kitchen (with a coffee maker, coffee, and filters), access to a washer and dryer, TV and DVD player, and even a laptop computer with fast internet connection! This makes a great base for exploring Panama City, especially if you want more space than you would get with a traditional hotel. Patty and Rudy are friendly and reliable hosts, and can also assist with airport transfers and city tours. I would not hesitate to stay here again and would gladly recommend it to close friends and family members. Thank you Patty and Rudy!

"A great experience"
All our expectations were more than satisfactory. We arranged airport transfers with Patty and Rudy and someone was there to pick us up when we arrived to transport us to the loft. When we arrived Patty and Rudy were there to meet us and help with the luggage and show us around the loft. The loft was beautiful and had everything one would need and location was perfect.(also many fine resturants)
We also went on a tour with Rudy to the Embera Village which was one of the best tours we have ever been on. I would recommend the loft and tour to anyone (well worth it) also our airport transfer was there on time for our departure.

"Phenomenal Place!"
Based on the description of the property and website photos (+pre-trip e-mail correspondence with the owners), we were expecting a nice stay at Patty and Rudy's condo in Panama City's Casco Viejo. However, the condo and trip exceeded our already high expectations! Location, cleanliness, amenities, balcony, etc., etc. ... All are phenomenal. The beautiful Cinta Costera is within easy walking distance. Friendly owners. Quiet, well-maintained property. We felt as if we were in our own home. What more could one ask for? We would recommend this property to anyone visiting Panama City, especially couples.

"Amazing place"
We absolutely loved our home away from home. I would never stay in a hotel in Panama City when I had this option. It is right in the heart (safe) of the old neighborhood of Cosco Viejo. The best location in P.C.. Besides there were no hotels in this neighbor anyway. Full of shops and restaurants. Totally happining at night. No surprise the "White House" of Panama is in the neighborhood. The condo has every amenity of home. Rudy and Patty are the best hosts. Six stars!

"Fantastic Experience!"
Our time in Casco Viejo was an unforgettable experience. The loft apartment was absolutely the nicest we have ever rented and Patty and Rudy were fabulous hosts. This area is one of the most dynamic we have seen in any of our travels, combining all strata of life in a very safe and pleasant environment. There are modern restaurants and businesses mixed with the historic buildings and renovation literally everywhere. Rudy also provided interesting insights as we toured the entire Panama City area and met us in Colon after our Canal Train ride to show us the atlantic sights. We definitely selected the right apartment in the right location!

"Wonderful experience."
The condo loft in Casco Viejo was one of the highlights of our trip to Panama. We spent five days there and it went way too fast. We enjoyed being able to make our own breakfasts and then explore the ancient city. There are several good restaurants within walking distance of the condo loft and Patty even showed us where the best grocery store was. We went on three tours with Rudy as the guide and highly recommend his tours. Patty and Rudy are true ambassadors for Panama. Cannot wait to go back and see how much more of the ancient city has been restored.

We stayed in this beautfiul apartment in Nov and would highly recommend it. The apartment is finished to excellent standards, the bed is comfy and there are many fine restaurants within strolling distance. Patty and Rudi are wonderful hosts and very informative for our first visit to the city. To be picked up at the airport when you are tired is a great comfort. Thank you both for such a wonderful time and we are determined to visit again one day.

"The Best Place to Stay in Panama City"
My trip to Panama consisted of 4 days in Casco Viejo, 4 days sailing in the San Blas Islands and 2 days in Bella Vista. This loft was phase I and really got the trip off to a great start. This loft, with it's two floors, huge balcony overlooking the Mayors Mansion, and nestled in the heart of the Casco, is absolutely amazing. Everything is top notch. You won't find a five star hotel for five times the price with this kind of atmosphere.
Patty & Rudy are the most wonderful people that you could ever want to deal with. They're attentive, understanding, on time and put together these marvelous books filled with tips and suggestions of how to make the most of your stay. Plus this loft has a computer, a mobile phone to use, and so much more. This is the place to stay. As my ex-governor once said, "I'll be back".

"Perfect !"
I very strongly recommend the Loft from Patty's Casitas!
First for its location: right in the heart of Casco Viejo, ideal for walking around and seeing the old city, where beautiful buildings date back to the 17th century and are extremely beautifully renovated. It is a lively area, full of charm with many restaurants and bars. Taxis never got lost when I asked them to drive me to the well known "Iglesia de la Merced" adjacent to the loft.
Second for the building itself, an ancient monastery with high and thick walls (hence the quietness of the flat) situated in a nice, clean and lighted street. Main entrance of the building is secured.
And third for the accommodation itself, just perfect!
Very well appointed with modern and very high quality furnishings. The kitchen is fully fit out, even with basic supplies such as tea, coffee, sugar, salt, pepper, etc. The bathroom has towels, hair dryer and start kit with shampoo and soap. Laundry is also available in the building. Free use of computer with wi fi and the local mobile phone provided. Books, Dvd's TV with huge flat screen... Amazing! On top of that, Patty is a wonderful host, very helpful and dedicated to her commitments. She likes what she is doing, and does it perfectly. It is not a business woman thinking rentability. She always made sure I had a good stay and was also extremely interesting to speak too with her many travel experiences around the world. Her husband Rudy, with whom I had a tour in the "Otro Panama" and the "Miraflores locks" is also a very nice person, flexible and patient and able to answer all the question about Panama in the past and nowadays.
I would definitely recommend staying by Patty and Rudy, it really feels like home.

"One of the best places I've stayed!"
This apartment is fantastic. I was visiting panama on a business trip and so would normally have stayed in a hotel, but I'm so glad I didn't. The apartment has everything you could want and more. One of my lasting memories will be sitting on the balcony, taking in the sights and sounds of this amazing part of the town. Patty and Rudy are excellent hosts, and I would recommend staying here to anyone.

"Amazing apartment in an amazing part of town."
Patty and Rudy are great. The apartment was amazing. It has every modern comfort you could want but maintains a very rustic feel with an amazing exposed stone wall. Plus, the location is great.
I also stayed in the studio when I return to Panama City. Also amazing. It was extremely nice to come back to a beautiful apartment after a day of sight seeing.

I get 15.5-15.9 mpg every time I fill up only got 5000 miles on it. It sounds good, unlike everyone else I like the height I plow, good truck, sounds good, looks good, and I get better gas mpg than the 05 f-150 I had. If you drive like a jerk you will get 11 mpg any normal person will get 15 mpg and I expect it to actually increase at 6000-8000 miles once engine is broken into. Don't drive like a jerk.
sounds good, mpg,
bedliner would be good for the price that your paying, that's about it though

Does anyone have a recommendation on glass bottles to use for pumping directly into using Medela Pump in Style or at least storing breastmilk?Ā I prefer not to store milk in plastic bottles due to chemical make-up of plastics (I know BPA-free).Ā I just started pumping once a day and my son takes milk from a Born Free glass bottle by Daddy once a day, but the Born-Free glass bottles don't fit on the PIS.Ā He does great with the Born-Free glass bottles, so maybe I should pump into Medela plastic bottles and then pour into Born-Free bottle and store in refrigerator?Ā Do you store with nipple on or can you find screw on tops for storage for Born Free?Ā I plan to keep most all milk in refrigerator to give fresh within 5 days -likely lessĀ(will have some back up in freezer in milk freezer bags).Ā I will be going back to work at 12 weeks and working 2 days a week, so if I can pump directly into a good glass bottle that may be easier.ĀI also use the Medela Easy Expressions hands-free bustier.ĀAnyone have experience pumping directly into Dr. Brown's glass bottles?Ā Do EBF babies typically do well with Dr. Brown's?Ā I appreciate any help!
Glass Bottles for Pumping &/or Storing Breastmilk with PIS?
I am planning on using the Born Free Glass bottles with the adapter so I can pump into them straight from the Medela pump.┬Ā If freeze the milk in the Born Free Glass bottle is there another lid I can use other than the nipple and nipple cover?
This is an old post, but in case people were still wondering you can use glass and hands free! I pumped at work until my son was 15 months using the hands free bustier and evenflo 4 oz glass bottles. They fit on the medela pump perfectly and weren't too heavy. I imagine the 8oz bottles would be too heavy, but I only ever pumped up to 5oz from one side, and the 4 oz bottles can actually hold up to about 5 oz. HTH!
Oh, and the Dr. Brown's one piece storage caps fit perfectly on the evenflo glass bottles.

Chef Stephenson and his family post-race.
There's one surefire way to get a chef to change his diet: tell him he has to be rushed to the hospital because his cholesterol level is through the roof. It's what happened to the the Fairmont Olympic Hotel's Gavin Stephenson, and the reason he started running in 2005. A husband and doting father of 7 and 13-year-old boys, the busy chef (who commutes from DuPont every day) is currently recovering from back surgery by slowly upping his mileage so he can run the Seattle Marathon this fall. In this week's Counter Balance, chef Stephenson talks about how the threat of dying forced him to diet.
Chef Stephenson and his family post-race.
Tell me about your marathons. How long have you been doing this?
I've been running for probably 10 years or so. It's a funny story actually how I started running.
I was at a health and safety fair here at the hotel and I had my cholesterol checked. The nurse who took my blood turned white! I was the one who was supposed to turn white. And she said, "You have to go to the hospital right now," and I said, "What?" and she said, "You really need to go to the hospital right now," and I thought she was kidding. She said, "I'm a nurse. I don't kid." I asked her how high my cholesterol level was and she said it was off the charts. She said I was a heart-attack victim waiting to happen. I was just sitting there going, "Well, you know, I had pizza last night. Do you think that's why it's high?" Of course, you start going into denial. Sure enough, I had to go to the hospital. My cholesterol had always been a little high but it had just really exploded. My wife's a runner and so of course I got home and said, "Honey, we have a little bit of an issue here" and she said I should start running with her. At that point I started running...about 100-yards, and I was like, "Okay, where's the tequila?"
Were you heavier back then?
I was. By about 40-pounds. I started running and then I got the bug and then I really started in on the nutrition side of it. Being a chef is the perfect playground to train because you work a lot, but you can carve out an hour here and there to do your training runs. And then nutrition, it's all there for you. You get to play with things and get everything you need for fueling your body. I tried to do my first marathon without any supplements--no gel packs or any sort of extra energy. You can't do it. You can't physically eat enough calories to get through the run. I hit the wall a few times.
My first half-marathon was 2007. Most recently I had a back injury so I'm coming off of that.
How many races have you run?
I've done about 7, including half-marathons.
And your last one?
I did the Rock and Roll marathon in 2011.
What were you eating before you started running?
Foie gras and ice cream.
What's a typical meal plan for you these days?
Food is everything to me. I'm one of those people who don't give up easily, so I thought I could just work out twice as hard and still have the foie gras. It really doesn't work like that. It's about moderation. I started counting my calories. It sounds so funny, but I started writing everything down because I got so frustrated; I was running five days a week and I wasn't losing any weight or seeing any gains in my running. I went and saw a nutritionist and she asked how much I was eating and I told her I was eating three meals a day. She says, "Well, you're a chef. Don't you taste things?" and I said, "That doesn't count!" So, I started counting my calories and I was consuming between five and seven-thousand calories a day.
Even the little tastes? You were counting those, too?
Yes! If you had to taste a lamb chop, that's 106 calories. Not the whole thing, just a taste. You start adding all those things up and it adds up!
A great thing happened in 2009. Fairmont Hotels & Resorts did a thing called a Chef's Conference. I was a part of the team that put together a Fairmont Lifestyle cuisine for the company. And what that is, it basically addresses people who have food allergies or have to keep to a certain diet, and so I got to work with a woman who's a nutritionist for a whole bunch of really great athletes. I got to spend some time and develop these menus with her and understand whole grains and complex carbohydrates and how proteins react with carbs and how your body burns them. She really put it into a context that helped me understand it. I was getting ready for a race so I figured I'd try the Fairmont diet and see how it went--and it was awesome! I picked a very clean, very simple diet. The food was not boring at all.
It was just plain chicken rubbed with Kalamata olives and served on tomatoes with farro. You cooked the farro in the juice from the olives. It tasted very Mediterranean. Training for a marathon I was consuming about 2,800 calories a day.
And how much were you running a week?
About 30 miles. The longest week was 41 miles. You realize your body...you think you need all of these calories, but really we don't. I had to convince myself I didn't need 5,000 calories a day and that was pretty tough.
It's a lifestyle being a chef.
It is and you have to taste. I don't believe that you can be a chef and not have to taste things because you need to know how much salt to add or how much sugar to add or whatever the ingredient may be.
Running, especially long distance, anything over two hours--that was the magic number for me. Anything over two hours you can't consume enough and load enough, or at least I couldn't, before you hit the wall. That's where you start seeing funky things. During my first marathon, I was running along the Sound and I saw little dancing bears. I'm serious.
You were delusional!
I was and it was because I hit a carbohydrate wall. It was just weird. It was the first time it had happened and so I didn't notice the signs beforehand. And then your legs turn into 100-pound buckets of concrete and you just can't go any further.
What's your next marathon?
I had surgery in February so I'm hoping to do the Seattle marathon in November.
What did you have surgery on?
I had a herniated disk in my back.
How did that happen?
Who knows. I play golf, I run, I like the outdoors a lot. I've never taken care of myself until recently and, you know, guy complex--you think you can lift anything. I herniated my disk somewhere along the way and it finally let loose and I had to have surgery.
Do you have a trainer?
Here at the hotel we have what's called Fairmont Fitness. It's pretty cool. Every Friday we go running and it's just a good way to get out of the kitchen for a couple of hours. So, we hired a run coach.
Do you eat the same things every day?
Never. I drink coffee every day and espresso whenever I can.
So you don't have a typical breakfast or lunch?
I have my favorites, but it changes. Right now, my favorite breakfast is Greek yogurt. I eat a lot of that and local strawberries right now are amazing.
Do you eat on the go?
I eat on the go and I rarely eat at home. On my days off, my wife will usually make something or we'll make something together or my kids will decide they're going to be chefs for the day and we have to eat it no matter what it is! I've had some salads that have some really weird stuff in them. I love sweet things, I have a sweet tooth. I try to trick my sweet tooth. We had some white peaches come in the other day that were great. I have a weakness for chips. I like chips. My wife, I ask her to hide them in the house, but she's not a very good hider. It's like, "Really? In the cupboard?" For the most part, I don't eat a lot of red meat. I love it, but I don't eat a lot of it because I know it's not good for you. What we've done to the beef industry is just terrible.
Has your diet affected the hotel's menus?
Absolutely. I'm a little more conscious on what we put in the dishes. I never sacrifice flavor, but I have learned, because I'm so picky, that what we do in the restaurant--it doesn't always have to be cream and butter and saturated fat. There are no trans-fats in my restaurant. If I can make it, I will. I make all the granola and jam. All the breakfast pastries I make in-house, so at least I know they're made with whole flour, real butter, real eggs and not processes stuff your body can't break down. If you look at the obesity rate of the 1940s, it has just skyrocketed. If you look at the kids now, they're the ones who are really suffering because they're hooked on junk from the get-go.
How has marathon training affected your job in the kitchen?
I just did a kitchen remodel here at the hotel last year. When you're a runner, your mind is all about conserving energy and really staying focused and every time I'd go on long training runs or races that I was nervous about, I'd always tell myself to quiet my mind. It would just tell me that I couldn't do it. You just get kind of crazy upstairs. And then I thought about how crazy you get in the kitchen and so I said, "How am I going to quiet my mind in the kitchen?" and so when I built my stations--they are just so synergistic. You don't have to run to get anything. It's all right there. I have a state of the art mat that you stand on. It's so cushy. You never get sore feet. Running kind of drove my design on my kitchen. I spent two-and-a-half million dollars on a running dream.
When I run, I see things that give me inspiration. I live on the Sound and it's gorgeous--except for when bears are dancing across the water.

I think it's more fun when you try to kill as many people as you can rather than just trying to get really close to what happend really. One time I got all the people in JFK's car to fly out of the car and die, because his car was stopped and then someone from behind drives into his car! Then everyone else started to crash cars too! Reminded me of playing some Indianapolis 500... BOOM!
hi i have a little problem what if i want make my mod and dont have web site??
oh, no offense was taken. Just simple discussion. :)
I understand what you are saying, and agree. Just with people in fear of death, don't live life to its fullest, they avoid things because of media propaganda etc, I say embrace death, know that its going to happen and get on with your life. :)
Oh you don't have to expect death around every corner, aslong as you accept the fact that you cannot live forever. Then you are ready (to an extent) to embrace death as it comes, and know you have lived life to the best of your ability.
Aha, angsty. No not at all.
Death is part of life, if you do not embrace death (of course its not easy) you aren't living life.
Yes my profile/ava is me.
You attacking me?!

Core strength is the foundation of athletic movement and power. On the field and the court, you're only as strong as your core is so it's time to ditch the crunches and workout like a pro. We asked Pro Strength and Conditioning Coach Bryan Doo for some of his favorite go-to core exercises prescribed to his professional athletes. As an expert in sports and athletic development, injury prevention and team training, it's no question that Bryan knows the best way to a strong core. Here's what he recommends you add into your workout routine to build strength to become a better athlete.
Counter Rotation Band pulls
Get in an athletic stance, square up and have a slight bend in your knees. Your back should be up straight. Put your arms out in front of you holding a resistance band with both hands. Have a partner hold the other end of the resistance band with tension off to your left side. Rotate your shoulders to the right without shifting the rest of your body – everything should remain in position except for your shoulders while rotating. Start slow and then pick up the speed. Switch sides.

Date: April 13 2012
Pay TV provider Foxtel has paid fines totalling $46,200 over Christmas ads that the competition watchdog claims were misleading.
The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) said, however, that the payment of an infringement notice penalty was not an admission of a contravention of Australian consumer law.
The seven infringement notices related to Foxtel's national "Christmas sale" advertising campaign which included a headline that customers could acquire a Foxtel subscription for $55 per month on a six-month contract.
But an asterix referred to fine print terms and conditions that locked customers into a 12-month contract under which the monthly cost rose to $77 after the first six months.
"The inclusion of an asterisk a fine print disclaimer does not remove the potential for a headline to be misleading," ACCC chairman Rod Sims said in a statement on Friday.
"Companies must ensure that they do not use misleading headlines about the price and other key terms and conditions of the services being offered.
"It is not enough for a company to try to correct a misleading headline using fine print text."

The game looks great honestly, all u really need improving in is your mapping skills, which will gradually get better the longer you work at it.
Also, in order to get rid of all that empty space in your towns and routes, why not add stuff like grass, tree branches, stumps, smaller trees, flowers, puddles, ect. to give it a better feel.
Best wishes and I hope this project looks awesome in the end.

Additional Information
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.

Alon USA Energy Inc. Stock Upgraded (ALJ)
TheStreet) -- Alon USA Energy (NYSE: ALJ) has been upgraded by TheStreet Ratings from sell to hold. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its robust revenue growth, solid stock price performance and impressive record of earnings per share growth. However, as a counter to these strengths, we also find weaknesses including generally poor debt management and poor profit margins. Highlights from the ratings report include:NEW YORK (
- The debt-to-equity ratio is very high at 2.53 and currently higher than the industry average, implying that there is very poor management of debt levels within the company. To add to this, ALJ has a quick ratio of 0.67, this demonstrates the lack of ability of the company to cover short-term liquidity needs.
- The gross profit margin for ALON USA ENERGY INC is currently extremely low, coming in at 8.10%. Despite the low profit margin, it has increased significantly from the same period last year. Despite the mixed results of the gross profit margin, the net profit margin of 0.80% trails the industry average.
- Powered by its strong earnings growth of 122.44% and other important driving factors, this stock has surged by 70.06% over the past year, outperforming the rise in the S&P 500 Index during the same period. Regarding the stock's future course, our hold rating indicates that we do not recommend additional investment in this stock despite its gains in the past year.
- ALJ's very impressive revenue growth greatly exceeded the industry average of 23.6%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues leaped by 188.9%. Growth in the company's revenue appears to have helped boost the earnings per share.

Having found themselves a goal down, a double substitution paid off at the break for the Shrimps as substitute Jack Redshaw turned home a close-range equaliser within six minutes.
They had to survive a scare when Barry Roche brought down Junior Daniel in a one-on-one to concede a penalty but he guessed correctly to keep out Sam Clucas' low kick down full stretch to his left.
And the points were stolen when Kevin Ellison grabbed the winner to delight his manager.
"I am made up with that," he said. "We had a fantastic start to the season, but we've just had a bit of a sticky spell which every club has.
"But I knew Mansfield were on probably an even worse spell than ourselves and we came here with a game plan.
"I didn't rest anyone from the York game as I wanted to build on that and I thought, overall, we were the better side.
"It went against us with that first goal and I thought it was the right thing to do to make the two changes at half-time, and they really affected the game, Jack Redshaw scoring one and making one.
"Ellison put his head in where few other professionals would for the winner and paid the price. He has had to go to hospital with a facial injury.
"We now have two home games to come and I hope this will have given us our confidence back. We just have to go into every game believing and not look too far ahead."

Why Children Kill
Lowenstein, L. F., Contemporary Review
WITH the James Bulger killing, Britain has come to realise that childhood has inherent within it, at least in certain instances great dangers previously not suspected. In the United States, there has already been a wave of killing by children and hence the people there are somewhat innured to this kind of tragic behaviour. Great Britain has yet to come to terms with the fact that children are not as innocent or incapable of violent behaviour as was previously considered. The Bulger killing may merely be seen as the tip of the iceberg. It is almost certain that there are many other children who have not as yet and perhaps may never commit such acts that exist and who may at some later stage, express homicidal behaviour. The question that continues to be asked is, Why?
There are both simple and more complex responses to that question. The simple answers go something like this: (i) such children enjoy the process of hurting and eventually killing another human being, (ii) they believe that they are unlikely to be caught and punished for such behaviour, (iii) lack any empathy or feeling for the pain of other human beings, most especially those who become their victims, and hence they depersonalise such individuals so that they become objects rather than humans.
That is the easy reply albeit one that is likely to shock many people. As one who has worked with such youngsters for over seventeen years as head of a therapeutic community and a consultant clinical educational psychologist, I have studied such young persons with great interest and equally with great sadness. Fortunately, all those who have come to my own centre have never committed a violent crime but one can never be sure this may not happen at some point of time in the future since the after care is frequently lacking when such children leave centres such as mine.
The killers of James Bulger are there mainly because they have not been recognised as such and frequently have not been provided with help at an early time in their lives when it is still possible to turn around such behaviour and direct it towards positive channels. In the United States, juvenile homicide has been increasing and will continue to increase with every year that passes: between 1984 and 1989 the number of youths arrested for murder nationwide in the United States more than doubled from 1,004 to 2,208. One study showed that youths under eighteen years of age now make up about ten per cent of all homicide arrests in the United States.
As already mentioned, although juvenile homicide is relatively rare, the tendency for committing such offences frequently does not appear until much later. The tendency is there and the basis for this tendency is a lack of having developed feelings for other people, likely to become their victims.
Among the studies that I and others have performed, there are certain traits and certain events in the lives of potential juvenile homicides including the following: (i) witnessing violence in reality such as between parents or others, (ii) suffering from either physical or sexual abuse themselves, (iii) being interested excessively in acts of violence such as watching violent TV programmes or videos, (iv) having failed to be disciplined sufficiently when acts of aggressiveness occur towards others, towards animals and hence having failed to develop a conscience about such behaviour, (v) there is also frequently a history of both being bullied and acting as bullies.
These are but some of the observations that can be made in the family, in schools and in the community where such youngsters live. Such children frequently fail to make a connection between what they are thinking of doing and actually doing and the consequences of their actions, mainly because they do not expect to be apprehended and punished. Children who abuse others have frequently seen their own parents act as negative role models: because little feeling is expressed towards themselves, such youngsters frequently fail to experience feelings of guilt towards what they do to others. …

An interior like a tardis - so all the 'kid/baby stuff' is easily and inconspicously accomodated and exterior like the fab-ist (thats a technical term ) designer bag you could imagine - something akin to the Nico Tote by Il Tutto I think!
