Three Senate Bills and Where the House Stands By Aaron Payne • Feb 28, 2014 Aaron Payne Senate Bill 373: The Water Protection Bill The House has had S.B. 373 for nearly a month and Thursday, a bipartisan group of delegates sent a letter to Governor Tomblin requesting a special session with the sole focus on this bill.

Rockman9 -Yabou no hukkatsu- by HitoshiArigaWatch
©2011-2016 HitoshiAriga
A Mega Man piece I drew just to express my joy when "Mega Man 9" was announced.
I attempted to revive the original Inafune flavor from the era of "Mega Man 2".
I attempted to revive the original Inafune flavor from the era of "Mega Man 2".
Cool! Nice style!
awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww so cute
I wasn't expecting you to draw him like this! Awesome!
Rockman rules and always will be.
Rockman for ever!!
something tells me we won't see anymore megaman games
Megaman is one of the first games I ever played. Thats how I learned about this awesome series when I was a kid.
Awesome work sir! Your artwork influenced and inspired me when I played the first Rockman/Megaman game for Famicom when I was in grade school. I would always draw Rockman/Megaman at the back my notebooks.
Just awesome!!! BTW I love your mini megamix manga prologue of megaman 9.
So awesome. ;w; I always thought this style was so cute!
How unusual, seeing this style of Mega Man from Ariga. I like it, it's just very unexpected to see Ariga mimic the Capcom/Classic style when it could be argued that his interpretation is far superior. Good stuff, though.
How can an interpretation of something be far superior to the original? The original inspires the interpretation, not the other way around. If Inafune's original designs didn't exist, Ariga wouldn't have any robots to add pointless chest plates and "W" belts to. "Far superior?" Ha.
Nice! Really looks like one of Inafune-san's works, too!
Very awesome! I'm immediately reminded of Inafune's style. In fact, I thought it was his if not for the fact I knew you drew it xD
While so simple, Inafune's style is very likable. Everything can seem so cute and chubby, while simultaneously looking tough and strong, like a childhood cartoon hero!

So simple yet great !
Mega Man 9 may just be one of my favorite games ever.
This artwork is wonderful.
This artwork is wonderful.
That reminds me, I need to play some MM9 thoroughly once again. Good times.
I can't wait till your issues concerning MM9 comes over here in America!
I can't wait till your issues concerning MM9 comes over here in America!
I think you did a really good job at that. The old drawings Inafune did were so cute. And what was it you were saying about your English not being good? I have yet to see anything that suggests that. XD Keep up the good work man!
I get the feeling that maybe he has someone translate/proofread stuff for him before he posts, but I could be wrong. I, too, have noticed that the English he's used so far has been pretty good, though.
Well, he said in the journal he had up when he first joined that his English was not that good, which lead me to believe that he was doing his own posting.
We can only keep Rockman alive in our hearts now.
I always admired Inefune's drawing style.
And the flavor was revived! Love it!
wow, it looks just like the original art style! great job
I loved Megaman 9 and 10, I'm helping to make another game in that style.
And you certainly nailed that "Megaman 2" feel down! Great work!
Loved Mega Man 9 but was too freaking hard especially with Wily.
Megaman forever! by the way, would there be any plans to work on a Megamix volume starring the Megaman 9 bosses?

Doug TenNapel, independent comics creator, is an inspiration to me in many ways. He has a fun, accessible art style that is dramatic and fresh. His story telling is always askew in the best of ways. I don't think I've read one of his graphic novels without having some smiles and a surprise or two along the way. On top of that, he is outspoken about almost everything in his life. (I think of him as the Rush Limbaugh of comics- oh man, that sounds really bad, but early Rush, not present day Rush, if that helps.) I agree with most things he states on Facebook. BUT- the thing I am most inspired about him is his drive (in the old days we would call that "work ethic"). The guy does NOT give up. Because of that, he single-handedly will put out a new graphic novel a year. While creating a webcomic. While pitching new TV show development ideas in Hollywood. While running a half marathon. While working freelance jobs. While raising tons of kids. While serving his faith also. SO, when a guy like that gets asked "how do I find the time to create my dream comic book idea"- you listen to the answer. I do. I saw a posting he put up on his blog and it inspired me to keep focus. So much so, that I wanted to share it here. This applies to anyone with a dream project/ job you want.
Doug TenNapel On Comics
Question: I've wanted to create a graphic novel using my own characters since I was 13. At 37 it's still on my someday/sometime list. Now, with 2 kids and one on the way, it seems extremely unlikely, but given your advice, I think I'll try to commit a small portion of time during the week and just get it started. Any advice on using small portions of time during your day to make progress on your story? I feel like it takes me a long time to warm up creatively.
Answer: Small increments are your friend. Commit to 20 minutes a day, 5 days a week for a year and you'll be a more prolific comic artist, piano player, or carpenter than most others who long to do the same. The key is in the longevity of your commitment, not in the amount of time you are committing. Set aside 20 minutes a day, preferably in the morning before work, and only work on your graphic novel. Do this for a year and you'll start seeing profound results.
The problem is that we aren't used to seeing our art as a craft or a skill that needs practice and discipline, not inspiration and feelings. On any given day my feelings come and go about my faith, my commitment to my marriage, my place in the world, my sanity, my desire to draw or not draw, my care about you as a person, but my values do not change. Try to find the values-shaped handles on your art, not your feelings. Tell me that you will commit to it, that you will simply do it regardless of how you feel about it and you'll accomplish a lot over time.
The ant is stupid. He has one millionth of your intelligence at best but moves one grain of sand until it is placed at its destination. Ants rework the whole world. The little termite can completely dismantle your house, not because of his passion, but because of his tedious, regular work at small, repeatable tasks. If you want to do something big, then the ant's way is one good way to try.

Live the dream, don't talk about it! by tombancroftWatch
©2012-2016 tombancroft
Really Great conversation. Thanks for sharing ^,^
Very true! Thanks for sharing... just what I needed to read right now.
Thanks Tom! And by the way, it was great to finally meet you and your brother at CTN. I sat in on your guys' seminar, which was extremely entertaining and insightful -- just too bad it got cut short. Many thanks for taking the time!
Thanks for coming to our talk! THat's cool. I'm not sure if they taped it or not, but I hope we see it pop up somewhere someday! It was fun.
that is such a great way of looking at things! You are very right Tom, this is very inspiring!
Wow. This is just what I needed to be told. It is so simple yet profound. Thank you so much for posting this. Now I need to look up this Doug TenNapel and start comiting that 20 minutes.
Dear heavens this journal is dripping with wisdom, thank you for sharing! *goes and sketches a bit more every day* 8v
I picked up Ghostopolis, Bad Island, & Iron West at the local library and I loved them so much I got copies for myself. Hopefully I'll own his entire collection of books. He has such a way of drawing emotion with out the use of words its almost reads like a film.
Wow... I feel kind of silly now.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Printed and Posted on my wall. I may make this a poster. Just words, no graphics to distract.
Great post. I will take this to heart.
This is really good advice. And it is true that I'm not used to seeing my art as important. For classes in high school this year, it came down to two options: take geometry class (you only need 2 years of math to graduate, and I already took 2 years), or take advanced art class. There wasn't enough room in my schedule to take both, so I took art. People kept telling me that was really bad and asked me "Well what's more important, math or art? What do colleges like more?" Well the type of college I want to go to likes art more, and art is more important to my animation than geometry. I still have teachers who tell me it's a waste of time. Being an artist is tough in our society.
That is the best advice I have heard I am not good at commit to my personal works because of my feelings and laziness. But now, it made perfect sense and see to it during the holiday break.
thank for this journal advice.
thank for this journal advice.
How very true! Thank you for sharing!
Tear down your notions like a termite and build anew like an ant!
Absolutely brilliant! I'll be taking this advice to heart.
Just a few minutes before I read this, I was literally, LITERALLY thinking about how I don't know if I can EVER create a comic. It's been my lament lately. But now.... I'm going to go work on it right away!
Thank you for sharing this!
Thank you for sharing this!
Really nice post. Stole it and reposted it my facebook page for my comic creating friends to read.
Nice! Like it!
PS: "Eating: too, too much." <--- ahaha! know the feelin'
PS: "Eating: too, too much." <--- ahaha! know the feelin'
Hrm it's always hard to remember this.
Wow, this almost gave me an epiphany
Fantastic advice. I'm just figuring out that "90% perspiration" part. Now off to draw!
thanks for posting this
Got to say this really helped re- lit my drive to keep moving forward. Thank you!
Thanks, you have no idea how much it lifts my spirit to read this.
I learned something really important while I was studying animation.
Young artists like myself have this mindset that we can only improve and succeed if we land the professional comic, art or animation job. Michael Jantze (another awesome comic creator and artist) taught me that we make the mistake of thinking that if I HAVE the job, I get to DO the work and I get to BE an artist.
We have it backwards.
We have to BE the artist and DO the work and then we get to HAVE the career.
Don't ask for permission to be an artist just go out and do it. Find the way through your work.
Be, Do, Have

Great addition to the discussion, thanks! Michael Jantze is great. Just spoke with him the other day.
took me 20 years to learn this, yo kids learn this lesson you won't regret it
One game at a time.

The City of La Grange filed two lawsuits Feb. 15 alleging the former mayor removed official records and property from city hall and improperly sold city property during her final days in office.
Carter, a two-term mayor of La Grange and former city council member, sold a house in the 400 block of First Avenue Dec. 14 to a city employee, according to a deed filed in the county clerk's office.
The buyer paid less than 20 percent of the home's $85,000 value.

It would make sense for some moves I guess, but as the others stated, to many problem in reguarding to type weaknesses, resistances, and a possible modification on the entire playstyle of battle. But something similar I would like to be implemnted would be combining moves. For example, a lucario has Close Combat and quick attack. Quick attack would provide as a catalyst move and give close combat +1 priority. Anyway maybe if there were new moves added for the specific purpose of a dual type attack I think that should be left alone. But the only pokemon I can see using that type of move would be arceus's judgement or genesect's techno buster.

This Day: Celestia's Fall by SirDerpington89Watch
©2013-2016 SirDerpington89
This is a perfect example on why I hate doing backgrounds, it makes me question the condition of my eyes. The stairs are crooked, and some of the back wall. Despite using a ruler, measuring 50 times and everything else, they still came out crooked. Ether I'm really that pathetic, or my eyes are really as derp'd as I claim them to be.
But oh well, small detail in the scheme of things. Concidering this is the fifth draft I did of this one picture, I'm just glad that I am finished.
Anyway, the main reason for drawing this was Chrysalis. The first "draft" was just a stand alone portrait, but I felt like that wasn't doing her much justice, and wanted to add defeated Celestia. Of course I had to redraw it to fit but even with that I wanted to do more, and eventually this is what I got. In comparison to the portrait I wound up with much more detail than I originally sketched and well, I'm happy with the overall detail at least.

That honestly made my day, thank you.
I just love how celestia goes down and everyone's just like : "well......fuck"
Nice. I really like Chrysalis' outfit.
I wonder how you draw them all... TEACH ME MASTER!!!
INSANE. DETAIL. AND WORK. very Nice. look at the glee in the Royalty's face.
You're drawings are great, they don't look derpy, well...except for the derpy one. XD
Actually the backround doesnt look too bad
Amazing work!!
Great pic
...There are no words for how incredible this is. I'm just in awe.
Eh, this whole 2-parter will always have a bad spot in my heart for the sheer traitorous behavior of Twilight's friends. But still, this is really good art.
Yeah that bugged me too, they didn't even really ask her why she was acting so paranoid and pretty much blew her off when she tried
I... have my list of complaints about that two parter, but I'm glad you enjoyed my pic.
I love how u did rainbowdash
Good job!!!!!!!
Chrysalis looks epic here.
Well, all I'm gonna say is that this is amazing and there's no way in hell Id have enough patience to color all that.
Well I'm sure it was a labor of love, but it looks like it was worth it
wow this is really impressive nice work
This is some hype content. Glad I'm watching you, not like stalking or anything.

Mandela hailed as epoch-making leader.
ISLAMABAD, July 18, 2009 (Balochistan Times) -- Former South African President Nelson Mandela turned 91 on Saturday amidst calls here for capturing the spirit of his lifelong anti-colonialist crusade that can transform the world into a haven for peace and harmony if properly followed. The birthday of Mandela, the worldwide icon of steadfast struggle for liberty, struggle against apartheid and selfless service to humanity, was celebrated throughout the world. South African Acting High Commissioner to Islamabad, Cassem Peer, also arranged a similar cake-cutting ceremony to honour the founder-President of an apartheid-free South Africa. Speaking on the occasion, Cassem Peer recalled that Octogenarian Mandela spent 67 years of his life in service to humanitywhether by leading them against apartheid regime of white minority, whether by his humble community work or with his efforts to ameliorate the life of slum-dwellers of his country. If everyone of us allocates even 67-minutes-a-month to the service of humanity, it will be a notable contribution in ameliorating the lot of the downtrodden, Cassem Peer said. He eulogised the epic anti-apartheid struggle of Nelson Mandela who spent 27 years of his life in the prisons of apartheid regime of South Africa but never yielded to oppression and injustice. Peer also admired the role of Winnie Mandela in the historic role played by Nelson Mandela in the freedom of his people. Mazharul Haq, DG Africa of Ministry of Foreign Affairs, was the chief guest at the birthday ceremony of Nelson Mandela, paying rich compliments to the man who he said had changed the course of history through the sheer weight and charm of his personality and his zeal. Mr. Khalid Mehmood, who has translated into Urdu Mandelas book Long Walk to Freedom, also spoke on the occasion, hailing the elder statesman as one of the greatest ever political and social leaders in history.

The methodology and sampling protocols for this study were derived from the pre-existing methodology and sampling techniques employed in the NIJ-funded Arrestee Drug Abuse Monitoring (ADAM) program that operated in Oklahoma County from 1998 to 2004. The data collection team had access to booking data to help select the sample and collect basic data (e.g., demographics and charge information) for each respondent. The original ADAM instruments were used as the basis for the data collection in this study. The process for completing the interviews differed slightly depending on the type of voice stress analysis system being tested. The Computer Voice Stress Analyzer (CVSA) program required that direct questions that resulted in yes or no answers be asked. The Layered Voice Analysis (LVA) program, on the other hand, required that the questions (and the responses) be more open-ended and "conversational." The interviewers were trained in the operation of the CVSA and LVA systems to ensure that the research protocol matched the use protocol of the Voice Stress Analysis (VSA) devices.
The researchers interviewed arrestees in the Oklahoma County jail about their recent illicit drug use during the months of February and March 2006. The voluntary and confidential interviews were conducted only with arrestees who had been in the detention facility for fewer than 48 hours. The researchers collected data using the CVSA program for the first 12 days and then using the LVA program for the second 12 days. In addition to recordings made by the computers, the interviewers also coded each subject's responses to each on a paper survey.
The VSA data collected using each of the software systems in this study were sent to certified examiners from CVSA and LVA for their analysis. These examiners were referred to as the "expert" examiners in this study. When the project was completed, the interviewers ("novice" examiners) and the expert examiners began to assess the computer output for each arrestee to determine if deception was indicated (DI) or not (NDI). Both sets of examiners analyzed the output for each subject to determine if software had detected that the subject was being deceptive about recent drug use. In addition, the "novice" analysts also entered into the data a prediction of whether the arrestee would test positive for a particular drug.
After the completion of the interview, the subjects were asked to complete the data collection process by supplying urine specimens. Answers from the 319 respondents were compared to the results of a urinalysis test to determine the extent to which they were being deceptive. Then, their "actual deceptiveness" was compared to the extent to which deception was indicated by the VSA programs.

Realize that true happiness lies within you. Waste no time and effort searching for peace and contentment and joy in the world outside. Remember that there is no happiness in having or in getting, but only in giving. Reach out. Share. Smile. Hug. Happiness is a perfume you cannot pour on others without getting a few drops on yourself.Og Mandino

What's the use of worrying? It never was worth while, so pack up your troubles in your old kit-bag, and smile, smile, smile.George Asaf
Knowledge is going to make you stronger. Knowledge is going to let you control your life. Knowledge is going to give you the wisdom to teach their children. Knowledge is the thing that makes you smile in the face of disaster.Avery Brooks
The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand, nor the kindly smile, nor the joy of companionship; it is the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when he discovers that someone believes in him and is willing to trust him with his friendship.Ralph Waldo Emerson
There are many kinds of smiles, each having a distinct character. Some announce goodness and sweetness, others betray sarcasm, bitterness and pride; some soften the countenance by their languishing tenderness, others brighten by their spiritual vivac.Johann Kaspar Lavater
I love friends, I want more friends. I love smiles. That is a fact. How to develop smiles? There are a variety of smiles. Some smiles are sarcastic. Some smiles are artificial-diplomatic smiles. These smiles do not produce satisfaction, but rather fear or suspicion. But a genuine smile gives us hope, freshness. If we want a genuine smile, then first we must produce the basis for a smile to come.Dalai Lama
No matter where you go in Kentucky, people smile at you and wave and make you feel welcome. It is important for people who are away from family and home to associate something with home that can ease their minds of some of the things they left behind. I'm honored I had the opportunity to draw and paint the logo for them.Chris Vaught

HAG, n. An elderly lady whom you do not happen to like; sometimes called, also, a hen, or cat. Old witches, sorceresses, etc., were called hags from the belief that their heads were surrounded by a kind of baleful lumination or nimbus --hag being the popular name of that peculiar electrical light sometimes observed in the hair. At one time hag was not a word of reproach: Drayton speaks of a "beautiful hag, all smiles," much as Shakespeare said, "sweet wench." It would not now be proper to call your sweetheart a hag --that compliment is reserved for the use of her grandchildren.Ambrose Bierce

MP3 player
Apple contender: iPod Touch (Fourth generation $199, newest model $299)
Alternative: Samsung Galaxy Player 4.2 ($199)
Apple's played this game with users for years, so why shouldn't Samsung?
The latest Galaxy Player is competing with an Apple afterthought in a dying electronics segment, but Samsung's still taking the time to get it right. While not as impressive as the Galaxy S III, the Galaxy Player earned the same 90 rating from Decide as the latest iPod while selling for less. If price is the deciding factor, the Galaxy Player easily wins the day.

Reel Redux: 'The Magnificent Seven' Remake
In recent movie news, there has been an announcement that a certain classic film franchise will be given a remake with a whole new cast. No, I'm not talking about Ghostbusters; I'm talking about the remake of theThe Magnificent Seven. For those unaware: The Magnificent Seven was a 1960 western directed by the very underrated John Sturges. The story tells of seven gunmen who are hired by members of a poor Mexican village to chase away a bandit named Calvera (Eli Wallach) who has been harassing people and stealing their food and crops. The movie was not just a traditional shoot 'em up western; it was a film that took advantage of having seven characters and giving them all unique backstories. It's also a film that is along the lines of George Stevens's Shane, in that it's a movie that doesn't glorify the gunfighter's life. It shows that each of them lead a rather unfulfilled life as a constant weary traveler. The film also boasts a cast of legends. There's Academy Award winner Yul Brynner as the cool and collected leader Chris; Steve McQueen as the drifting gunman Vin; Charles Bronson as the penniless and kid-friendly hired gun Bernardo O'Reilly; the voice of Mr. Waternoose in Monsters Inc. James Coburn as the silent knifesman Britt; and the late and great Wallach as Calvera the bandit. It also has one of the best scores ever composed for a movie by Elmer Bernstein. Even if you've never seen the film you'll recognize the music. Now, like any film being remade, there will be a small crowd of people crying havoc and wanting to let slip the dogs of war, because there have been a lot of cases in which remakes haven't turned out too spectacular. But many people often forget that The Magnificent Seven was actually a remake itself. It's a western version of Akira Kurosawa's classic Seven Samurai. It would technically later be remade by Pixar in A Bug's Life. I've long since went astray from being the angry Cinephile who went on long rants about how "Hollywood sucks," and "Movies aren't as good as they used to be," and other such nonsense. Now these days I keep an open mind and to wait and see the film before I say anything. Attached to direct the film is Antoine Fuqua, whose resume includes: The Equalizer, an adaptation of the hit 1980s show; 2004's King Arthur; and Training Day, the film that earned Denzel Washington his second Academy Award win. Not a bad choice. I won't claim he's the best director, but he's far from terrible. It could be worse; they could have Jonathan Liebesman directing it. There have already been a couple casting choices made, including the aforementioned Denzel Washington, his Training Day co-star Ethan Hawke and even Star-Lord himself Chris Pratt has apparently signed on. That's a pretty good cast in my book. But I'm just trying to imagine who else would be involved: Maybe they could get Jeremy Renner for one of the seven, and maybe a great character actor of today like Jon Bernthal, Steve Zahn or Barry Pepper. There are loads of possibilities. I also see no problem in having Washington play the part of Chris the leader. In the original film, Chris is very calm and collected but just as intense, and a one-liner from him can let you know things mean business. I think Washington is perfectly capable of that. The plot? From what I've heard, the plot is slightly different from the original. Apparently it's about a widow (Haley Bennett) who hires Chris to help avenge the death of her husband who died at the hands of a gold baron and his thugs who have taken over her town. It could work and it's a nice update to the original story. To conclude: I'm sure the original 1960 film will remain superior, and a favorite of mine, but I am kind of looking forward to seeing this film and what it has to offer. Let's not lose our heads and let's see what the film has to offer. I hope it's at least better than The Magnificent Seven Ride (1972).

Forgotten Classics: Zulu
Reviewing lesser-known films that stand the test of time
When I mention war films, what's the first thing that comes to mind? Probably titles like Saving Private Ryan or, more recently, something like the controversial and much-debated American Sniper. But what if I ask about British war films? Maybe you'd think of Lawrence of Arabia and one or two others. What about the 1964 film Zulu? I'm going to guess that not that many are familiar with this one, let along the actual Anglo-Zulu War. But you don't really need to know all the ins and outs of the conflict to enjoy and appreciate this movie. The movie is based on the 1879 Battle of Rorke's Drift, in which roughly 150 British and Welsh soldiers faced off against an overwhelming number of Zulu warriors at a mission station in southern Africa. In a lot of ways it's almost the British equivalent of the Battle of the Alamo — the difference in this case being the British soldiers won their battle, whereas all the defenders of the Alamo died. Let's get this out of the way: Yes, there are a lot of historical inaccuracies in the movie. But anybody who has ever seen a "Based on a True Story" movie should be aware of that by now. To me, some of the best war films out there are not the ones that are overly patriotic and about 'us vs. them,' but ones that show us who the people are on both sides or, at the very least, films that don't broad-brush the other side. With Zulu, we get that. Neither side is portrayed as the hero nor the villain; they're two powerful forces, in their own way, who duke it out in combat. Both are proven to be worthy adversaries who don't give up without a fight. One thing I love about this film is the use of sound. The movie seems to use chats, songs and sounds as a motif about the sides. Probably the most effective use is when the Zulus arrive, coming over the ridge making a huge clatter with their assegai (short spears) and shields. One of the officers in charge, Gonville Bromhead (played by Michael Caine in his first film), says that it sounds, "Like a train…in the distance." This comparison works rather well. It's this constant clamor created that gives the audience an idea that the British are up against an almost unstoppable force. And when the near 4,000 Zulus pop up on the ridge, it seals the envelope. Along with the drumming, the Zulus also have their own war chants which are another form used to intimidate the defenders, but on the morning of the second day the defenders reply with their own battle cry, the military march "Men of Harlech." I see this as director Cy Enfield's way of showing that even though these men are in a war against each other, they do have similarities. But the beautiful medleys of the British and Zulus are disrupted with the continuous roar and volley of rifle fire. And at the end of the battle many lay dead; although they are victorious, there's no cheers to be shouted. But the Zulus do offer a final chant of respect to their worthy adversaries. At the end, Bromhead is asked by the more experienced officer John Chard (Stanley Baker) what he thought of his first action. Bromhead replies with "Sick," and Chard follows it with, "You'd have to alive to be sick." A clever indication of the creative team's thoughts on war.There are many other great things to say about the film. The dynamic between Baker and Caine is fantastic, and supporting performances from James Booth as the drunk, petty thief Henry Hook (one of the controversial inaccuracies) and Nigel Greene as the tough but kindhearted Colour Sgt. Bourne are great. The performances from then-Chief Mangosuthu Buthelezi and his people are impressive. Also the cinematography by Stephen Dade is gorgeous, he makes every shot interesting. It almost reminds me of a John Ford Western.

I Just Can't Get Enough…Oscars
Recapping the 87th Academy Awards
Neil Patrick Harris hosted the 87th Oscars Sunday night. Let's talk about it! Having hosted multiple Emmy and Tony award shows in the past, quadruple-threat NPH (he sings, dances, acts and does magic) was well suited — cue Barney Stinson high-five — to the task. He did in fact sing, dance, act and do magic all while poking fun at the nominees, recreating significant movie moments and ad-libbing on the fly. Great job, NPH! As far as the night's trends, there were a few: Using the acceptance speech as a bigger platform While some folks stick to the traditional "Thank God, the Academy and my manager" speech, others used the time in the spotlight to address other issues. This is nothing new — Marlon Brando famously boycotted the 1973 Academy Awards for Hollywood's treatment of Native Americans, arranging for Sacheen Littlefeather to attend in his behalf and decline the Best Actor award (for The Godfather). This year's acceptance speech shout-outs ranged from appreciating parents (J.K. Simmons) and supporting ecological sanitation and women's rights (Patricia Arquette) to empowering the LGBTQ community (Graham Moore) and discussing immigration (Alejandro González Iñarritu). Play someone with a disease, win awards Again, this trend is far from new. The Academy — and audiences — love to see an actor transform, and portraying someone with a mental or physical condition can certainly do the trick. It's not a surefire way to win an Oscar — just ask poor Leonardo DiCaprio (What's Eating Gilbert Grape, The Aviator) — but the Oscars have looked favorably on roles like this in the past. And present: Eddie Redmayne won Best Actor for his portrayal of Stephen Hawking in The Theory of Everything; Julianne Moore was awarded Best Actress for her role as a woman with early-onset Alzheimer's in Still Alice. Ladies in White Whiteness wasn't just the hilarious subject of NPH's first joke in the monologue (see below), it was also a prominent dress color for many attendees, nominees and performers. Patricia Arquette, Reese Witherspoon, Carmen Ejogo, Marion Cotillard, Lupita Nyong'o, Julianne Moore, Lady Gaga, Kerry Washington, Nicole Kidman and others all rocked white, channeling the snow that many of those not in L.A. were knee-deep in. Now for a play-by-play recap of the event. Neil Patrick Harris opened the show with a theatrical song, but not before making a joke about celebrating the "best and the whitest" – err, brightest film stars. I like how the Oscars always start with the supporting actor award to get people excited, only to spend the following hour busting out all the technical awards and best picture nominee previews.Best Supporting Actor Ethan Hawke, Boyhood Edward Norton, Birdman J.K. Simmons, Whiplash Mark Ruffalo, Foxcatcher Robert Duvall, The Judge Yay! Simmons has been in the acting game a long time and killed it in Whiplash. Totally deserved.He used the time to thoughtfully and thoroughly thank his wife, kids and parents and urged viewers to do the same. "Call your mom. Call your dad." Adam Levine continues to take over the world/every television program. He performed a song from a movie he was in (???). Costume Design The Grand Budapest Hotel Inherent Vice Into the Woods Maleficent Mr. TurnerMakeup and Hairstyling Foxcatcher The Grand Budapest Hotel Guardians of the Galaxy Makeup, hair and costume design awards went to the visually delightful The Grand Budapest Hotel. Costume designers always wear the best stuff, obviously Exhibit A: Milena Canonero's sequined pants. Oscar lobby boys officially became weird when they held Channing Tatum's hand down the stairs. Best Foreign Film Ida Tangerines Leviathan Timbuktu Wild Tales I love director Pawel Pawlikowski's style — he just talked though the Oscars' STFU Music Cue until it finally stopped playing! All bets are off now that we know the truth: Just. Keep. Talking. The (not nominated) Lego Movie had its moment in the sun with an over-the-top performance of "Everything is Awesome." Best Live Action Short Aya Boogaloo and Graham Butter Lamp (La Lamp au Beurre de Yak) Parvaneh The Phone CallBest Documentary Short Crisis Hotline: Veterans Press 1 Joanna Our Curse The Reaper (La Parka) White EarthSound Mixing American Sniper Birdman Interstellar Unbroken Whiplash NPH recreated Birdman undies scene: Sound Editing American Sniper Birdman The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies Interstellar Unbroken Jared Leto showed up in Dumb and Dumber cosplay to present Best Supporting Actress; he also had a heavenly moment.Best Supporting Actress Patricia Arquette, Boyhood Emma Stone, Birdman Meryl Streep, Into the Woods Keira Knightley, The Imitation Game Laura Dern, Wild Yay again! The Boyhood actress had this one in the bag. During her speech, Arquette promoted the organization GiveLove and gave a call to action to all the country's mothers. Visual Effects Captain America: The Winter Soldier Dawn of the Planet of the Apes Guardians of the GalaxyInterstellarX-men: Days of Future PastBest Animated Short The Bigger Picture The Dam Keeper Feast Me and My Moulton A Single Life Feast director Patrick Osborne is a Cincinnati native and gave us a little shout-out. Best Animated Feature How to Train Your Dragon 2 Big Hero 6 The Boxtrolls Song of the Sea The Tale of the Princess Kaguya Star T.J. Miller (Silicon Valley) was literally in the last row of the theater, but still managed to get the camera's attention as he celebrated in the nosebleed seats. Production Design The Grand Budapest Hotel The Imitation Game Interstellar Into the Woods Mr. Turner Best Cinematography Birdman The Grand Budapest Hotel Ida Mr. Turner Unbroken Film Editing American Sniper Boyhood The Grand Budapest Hotel The Imitation Game Whiplash Idina Menzel finally got her revenge on Glom Gazingo John Travolta. Yet he still managed to act like a fucking weirdo. Best Documentary Feature Citizenfour Finding Vivian Maier Last Days in Vietnam The Salt of the Earth Virunga Best Original Song "Glory" (Selma) "Everything Is Awesome" (The Lego Movie) "Grateful" (Beyond the Lights) "I'm Not Gonna Miss You" (Glen Campbell … I'll Be Me) "Lost Stars" (Begin Again) John Legend and Common won this right after giving a powerful performance of the song. Best Original Score Alexandre Desplat, The Imitation Game Alexandre Desplat, The Grand Budapest Hotel Jóhann Jóhannsson, The Theory of Everything Hans Zimmer, Interstellar Gary Yershon, Mr. Turner Lady Gaga gave the most "normal" — for lack of a better word — performance of her career with a tribute to The Sound of Music, proving that beyond the meat dresses and famous fiancés and 9-inch heelless platform monstrosities, Gaga is a talented entertainer. Best Original Screenplay Birdman Boyhood Foxcatcher The Grand Budapest Hotel Nightcrawler Best Adapted Screenplay American Sniper The Imitation Game Inherent Vice The Theory of Everything Whiplash In his acceptance speech, director Graham Moore revealed he tried to kill himself as a teen because he felt different. "Stay weird. Stay different," he encouraged. Best Director Wes Anderson, The Grand Budapest Hotel Richard Linklater, Boyhood Alejandro González Iñarritu, Birdman Bennet Miller, Foxcatcher Morten Tyldum, The Imitation Game Best Actor Benedict Cumberbatch, The Imitation Game Michael Keaton, Birdman Eddie Redmayne, The Theory of Everything Steve Carell, Foxcatcher Bradley Cooper, American Sniper Best Actress Reese Witherspoon, Wild Julianne Moore, Still Alice Felicity Jones, The Theory of Everything Rosamund Pike, Gone Girl Marion Cotillard, Two Days, One Night Best Picture American Sniper Birdman Boyhood The Grand Budapest Hotel The Imitation Game Selma The Theory of Everything WhiplashIñarritu dedicated the award to, among others, Mexicans and immigrants. While I was rooting for Boyhood (a movie I will probably never stop talking about and encouraging people to see), I'd be remiss not to say Birdman deserved all the accolades it received. Overall, many of the year's best films got some deserved recognition on a night that was entertaining for movie makers and lovers alike. Also, did this year's show break the record for tighty whitie references?

I sit and stare
Stare in fear
Fear of falling into sleep
Sleep leads to nightmares
Nightmares worse than you could dream
Awakening with a scream
Scream that escapes me
Me in reality, a ghost in a dream
Dream that leaves me shaking
Shaking disturbing my sleep
Haunting my dreams
Dreams that scare me sleepless
Sleepless nights I've spent
Spent wishing for some peace
Peace of mind
Silence, darkness
Darkness lingers in my dreams
Dreams that hurt
Hurt me emotionally
Emotionally crying and screaming
This is why I never sleep
Sleep is dangerous for me
Nightmares by ennailaughterWatch
©2013-2016 ennailaughter
I relate to this....after dealing with night terrors for so many years...its a beautiful piece
thank you, I absolutely despise nightmares
I feel the same, but you explained it better!
Sadly, there are many people out there that truly do experience this. I can only imagine how this would feel. I'm glad i don't experience something like this. Good job .
Thanks and I'm glad u don't have nightmares often, they are the worst
Ya they're not pleasant are they? But I find I often have slight control of my dreams. I recently had one that began to happen but I managed to have enough control of my dream to become "mad" at the nightmare and it quickly ended as quick as it started.
that's cool I can do that sometimes, but never in nightmares, just in regular dreams
It's hard to do. I'm surprised I was able to do it myself. I guess I just had the sheer force of will to not let it get the better of me and scare me.
huh, you are very lucky then
Well I'm only able to do it sometimes. Thankfully I don't get to mean nightmares
thats good
Wow. I know that feeling.
I love how you wrote it! It reminds me of the song Glad You Came, but ten times better!

It's cheaper to live and, it turns out, die in Tacoma. If there's a burial plan in your near future, the complete works will cost you as comparatively little as $1,997 down in University Place and as much as $8,315 in Bellevue. And that's just with your basic casket, says John Eric Rolfstad, Executive Director of People's Memorial Association of Seattle, the non-profit cremation society. His group's 2009 price survey - "Shop before you drop" - compiled a list of services and costs from 226 funeral homes across the state. The survey detected an even larger swing in cremation prices - from $549 in University Place to $3,944 in Bellevue, a 700 percent difference.
The average price for simple cremation across the state is $1,593; a complete funeral with basic casket averages $4,172, excluding cemetery costs. Thing is, says Rolfstad, most people choose a funeral home because it's close to where they live, or they knew someone who used the same mortuary. "The funeral industry is able to defy the basic laws of economics because of our society's aversion to dealing with death," he notes. As SW reported three years ago, some funeral homes sell burial plans much like high-pressure dealers sell new cars; and, now and then, graveyards are known to double-up their bodies: In Renton one memorable day, two families who'd never met peered across the grave of their sons, realizing for the first time the cemetery had secretly buried both in the same grave.

I love my husband more than anything in this entire world. He is an amazing man and I really am lucky to have him.
However...I feel like he has no clue what I'm going through with this MC and TTC (both now and before). We both wanted a baby so badly, but I was the one who had to temp, see a Dr., and take ovulation tests multiple times every freaking day. When we lost the baby he was very upset, as was I. But I feel like after he got over the initial pain, he was able to move right along and he can't seem to understand why it's so hard for me.
I've told him many times that not only is it hard for me in general (like him), but I am on a hormonal roller coaster and everything was dragged back up when I just got my AF. He doesn't seem to 'get' that I miss the baby I was carrying inside of me. Not the idea of the baby that would have been in our arms in January, but the actual baby that was still growing. TTC, the pregnancy, the MC and now TTC has consumed my life for the past 1.5 years.
I hate that for the first time in the 8 years we have been together I feel like I'm alone. Or maybe the hormones are just overwhelming during the first AF after the MC L
I'm so glad I found this board. Just reading stories from all of you about how hard this is or how you still have hope makes me feel better. This is the only place I can go where I feel like someone actually understands what is going on with me.

Axial magnetic field extraction‐type microwave ion source with a permanent magnet55(1984); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1137795View Description Hide Description
We have developed a new type of microwaveion source which has an axial magnetic field generated by a permanent magnet. By the combination of the permanent magnet and ferromagnetic materials, a closed magnetic circuit is formed through an ion extraction electrode. This axial magnetic field is utilized both for the high‐density plasma production by the electron‐ cyclotron resonance process and for the high efficient ion extraction by transporting the generated ions along the magnetic force lines. The continuous ion beams of 2–3 mA are delivered from the extraction aperture (2 mm in diameter) when various gases (Ar, N2, CO2), metal vapors (Cs, Rb), and reactive gas (O2) are used. Extremely low impurities are present in the extracted ion beam. An ion beam with low emittance of 10− 8 m rad order and high brightness of 101 1 A m− 2 rad− 2 order is obtained. The size of this ion source is 50 mm in diameter and 65 mm in height. The discharge power of the microwave with the frequency of 2.45 GHz is 7 to 30 W. Thus, a high‐current microwaveion source with compact structure and low power consumption is realized.
Proposal for a time‐of‐flight Thomson backscattering technique for large fusion devices55(1984); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1137796View Description Hide Description
The application of 180° Thomson scattering using ultrashort laser pulses for measuring electron temperature and density profiles in large fusion devices is proposed. Spatial resolution along the laser beam is achieved by high‐speed detection allowing time‐of‐flight measurements. This LIDAR(light detection and ranging) technique uses a minimum number of window ports and reduces the number of optical components in the vicinity of the discharge vessel. As an example, the performance of such a system for the JET tokamak geometry is discussed on the basis of available laser and detection technology.
Channel multiplier compatible materials and lifetime tests55(1984); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1137797View Description Hide Description
Certain materials useful in space sensor construction were tested for their noncontaminating compatibility with channel electron multipliers. Gain profiles indicate that the materials tested do not adversely affect the lifetimes of the multipliers. These materials are, therefore, shown to be safe for use with channel electron multipliers in space instrumentation even for the most stringent long lifetime mission requirements. The tests indicate that the multipliers which are to be flown on an extended space mission will have adequate lifetimes to return satisfactory data throughout the entire mission.
Influence of surface roughness on the momentum transfer by 350‐keV hydrogen‐cluster ions55(1984); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1137798View Description Hide Description
The momentum reflection of accelerated H2 cluster ions in the energy range of 1 to 10 eV per atom on various surfaces differing by their roughness has shown to vary by more than 61%. By use of the surfaces having a higher absorptive power, the momentum of such particle beams can be measured more accurately.
Energy deposition measurements of a large‐diameter, intense relativistic electron beam for high‐power gas laser excitation55(1984); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1137799View Description Hide Description
Measurements of electron‐beam (e‐beam) energydeposition in gaseous medium by a segmented totally stopping calorimeter and a pressure jump method are described, both of which gave the same values. Typical e‐beam parameters are 2 MV, 80 kA, and 65 ns (FWHM). The e‐beam cross‐sectional area is 10 cm in diameter. First, the radial distribution of the e‐beam current generated from the field‐emission diode as a function of the axial magnetic field was measured. Next, for applications to longitudinal excitation of the high‐power gas lasers, the e‐beam energydeposition characteristics are measured in N2 for the propagation distance up to 2.3 m in terms of the axial magnetic field, the N2 gas pressure, and the radial e‐beam distribution. As a result, the axial field equivalent to the self‐magnetic field of the electron beam can acceptably control the e‐beam generation and propagation uniformities.
Thyratron‐switched N2 atmospheric‐pressure oscillator, low‐pressure amplifier laser system55(1984); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1137800View Description Hide Description
The article presents the results of experimental investigation on an atmospheric‐pressure N2oscillator low‐pressure N2amplifier system. This system gives pulses of a duration of about 0.8 ns, with 800‐kW peak power, and good (±3%) stability. The parameters affecting the oscillator–amplifier operation are discussed with the aim of optimizing system performances.
Closed‐cycle gaseous alkyl‐iodide (C3F7I) supply system55(1984); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1137776View Description Hide Description
A completely passive closed‐cycle flowing alkyl‐iodide (C3F7I) gaseous supply system which provides a high purity and fixed pressure of gaseous C3F7I at a well‐regulated flow velocity is reported. Its employment produces an extreme cost saving and the generated flowing gas can easily be coupled with cw atomic iodine photolysis lasers to produce excellent results. The low‐temperature evaporation/condensation baths (<0 °C) freeze out all of the excited atomic iodine quenchers H2O and I2 present in liquid C3F7I.
Multifrequency cross‐correlation phase fluorometer using synchrotron radiation55(1984); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1137777View Description Hide Description
The construction and operation of a cross‐correlation phase and modulation fluorometer using the synchrotron radiation facility at the ADONE–Frascati electron storage ring is described. In the frequency domain the high repetition rate pulsed source gives a large series of equally spaced harmonic frequencies. Use of cross‐correlation techniques in conjunction with such a light source permits one to isolate one harmonic frequency from the adjacent frequencies with high precision. The cross‐correlation frequency required for the analysis of the phase delay and modulation ratio is obtained using two coupled frequency synthesizers, one of which drives the radio‐frequency cavity of the storage ring and the other which modulates the response of the photomultipliers used for the signal detection. The accuracy, reproducibility, and sensitivity of the instrumentation have been determined on a number of systems and are reported.
Electronic analyzing light signal subtraction and measuring device for transient absorption spectrophotometry55(1984); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1137778View Description Hide Description
An electronic system is described that subtracts the analyzing light signal level from the analyzing light signal modulated by a transient absorption signal at the output of a photodetector in a transient absorption spectrophotometer. The system enables sensitive measurement of the transient with simultaneous measurement of the analyzing light level immediately before the transient. The shortest rise time is 50 ns. The time window for the measurement can be selected to a maximum of 20 ms with a droop of 20 μV. Input signals of 10 V of either polarity are permitted. The minimum detectable absorption signal is determined by the noise of the photomultiplier used and can be about 0.2% for an experiment without signal averaging.
Optical transmission measurements using computer response correction55(1984); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1137779View Description Hide Description
A low‐cost double beam spectrophotometer using separate detectors is described. This device, capable of transmission measurements as low as 0.001%, incorporates computer response correction for both beam differences and fluctuations in detector power supply and light source. This type of measurement is achieved without the use of high‐quality optical components or hardware‐based response correction.
Mirror electrode for laser initiated discharge channels55(1984); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1137780View Description Hide Description
A reflecting waxicon has been demonstrated to generate long, smooth, CO2 laser induced breakdown plasmas in atmospheric pressure gases including nitrogen, argon, and air. A waxicon or compound axicon is a mirror consisting of two concentric cones which form a W‐shaped cross section. The protruding central cone of the waxicon also functions as an electrode for laser guided electrical discharges. In contrast to conventional mirrors, this waxicon design produces nearly uniform laser intensity in a fixed length of breakdown plasma. The length of the laser induced breakdown plasma has been measured as a function of incident laser power and agrees well with predictions of a ray tracing code.
Transmission grating velocimeter for particles electric mobility measurements55(1984); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1137781View Description Hide Description
A novel optical velocimeter has been designed in order to measure with a high resolution electrophoretic mobility distributions of suspended particles. It uses a transmission grating on which the dark‐field image of the particles is focused. A spectralanalysis of the transmitted time‐modulated light intensity allows the determination of the velocity spectrum. The principle, a description of the apparatus, and some results are given. The velocity resolution is significantly better than with the laser Doppler techniques for different reasons which are discussed.
Saturated absorption in a molecular gas mixture to find line frequencies55(1984); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1137782View Description Hide Description
Saturated abosorption on a low‐pressure mixture of CO2 and CH3OH inside a hot cell is used to demonstrate how the frequencies of molecular infrared transitions in near coincidence with a CO2 laser emission can be obtained with sub‐Doppler resolution.
Cylindrical spinner and speed controller for magic angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance55(1984); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1137783View Description Hide Description
A new design for a cylindrical spinner suitable for magic angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance(NMR) is described. The rotor has a large sample volume (0.66 cm3) and is capable of spinning speeds from 500 Hz to 5 kHz at drive gas pressures below 50 lb/in.2. The rotor is completely supported by gas bearings. Axial positioning is provided by the rotor's T shape, leaving the bottom surface available for a photoelectric tachometer. The coil is wrapped on a form machined into the outer surface of the stator, producing a high filling factor. Also described is an instrument which controls the spinning speed of such a rotor to ±0.6 Hz around a set speed in the range of 3–4 kHz. The rotor's speed is determined by means of a photoelectric tachometer. The instrument then compares this measured speed to the desired value and adjusts the gas flow to the rotor to correct any difference.
Noise current measurements and signal‐to‐noise improvement in low‐temperature, low‐frequency nuclear‐magnetic‐resonance experiments55(1984); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1137784View Description Hide Description
A NMR pickup coil cooled to low temperature generates virtually no noise. Advantage can be taken of this fact in the low megahertz range by proper design and, in particular, by taking the current noise sources i n of the room‐temperature input circuitry carefully into account. A low‐noise rf line and a method to measure very small i n 's in the 10‐kHz–1‐MHz frequency range are described.
An efficient digital phase‐sensitive detector for use in electron‐spin‐resonance spectroscopy55(1984); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1137785View Description Hide Description
A digital phase‐sensitive detector for a modified Bruker electron‐spin‐resonance (ESR)spectrometer, equipped with an Aspect 2000 minicomputer is described. Magnetic field modulation is derived from a clock in the computer, which makes it possible to perform the data acquisition fully synchronously with the modulation. The resulting high phase accuracy makes it possible to compress the data to a single modulation period before the Fourier transformation. Both the in‐phase and the phase‐quadrature signals (of the first or second harmonic) are recorded simultaneously. The system is so efficient that the data processing including the Fourier transformation is approximately 1000 times faster than a previously reported digital phase‐sensitive detector system for ESR [T. Watanabe e t a l., Appl. Spectrosc. 3 4, 456 (1980)].
Errors due to field nonuniformity in vibrating sample magnetometry55(1984); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1137786View Description Hide Description
In a vibrating sample magnetometer the signal contains a spurious component due to the ac magnetization induced in the sample as it vibrates in an imperfectly uniform dc magnetic field. In high‐conductivity and superconducting samples, the spurious signal may be larger than that due to the dc magnetization. A quantitative analysis is given, and measurements made in an uncompensated solenoid are compared with those made in a fourth‐order solenoid.
Double focusing ion mass spectrometer of cylindrical symmetry55(1984); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1137787View Description Hide Description
A mass spectrometer consisting of an electric sector followed by a magnetic sector is described. The geometry is a cylindrically symmetric generalization of the Mattauch–Herzog spectrometer. With its large annular entrance aperture and a position‐sensitive detector the instrument provides a large geometric factor and 100% duty factor making it appropriate for spacecraft experiments.
Ion scattering spectrometry in a commercial scanning Auger microprobe55(1984); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1137788View Description Hide Description
A scanning Auger microprobe (SAM) equipped with a cylindrical mirroranalyzer and noncoaxial ion gun has been adapted for ion scattering spectrometry (ISS). An optimally designed movable entrance aperture limits the scattering angle, providing high mass resolution and good sensitivity. Much of the electronics of the original SAM is employed for ISS, and switching the mode of operation is easily accomplished. The critical part of the apparatus is the entrance aperture, and its design is discussed in detail.
Direct observation of electric field induced surface atomic displacements using the field ion microscope55(1984); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1137789View Description Hide Description
Numerical calculations are used to determine the magnitude and directions of surface atomic displacements produced by imaging a tungsten specimen in a field ion microscope. These displacements are induced by surface forces resulting from the high electric field required for imaging in the instrument. The computations reveal that the maximum displacements occur in the brightly imaging regions of a tungsten emitter and can be as large as 0.1 nm. A color photographic technique is used to directly reveal the displacements in an actual experiment. The results of theexperiments corroborate those of the calculations.

Kon's Group
Kon's group consists of three female members; this is the third loan cycle for Kon, the second loan cycle for one of her fellow group members, and the first loan for the remaining member. The past two loans have helped Kon to sustain her chicken-raising business and to buy a boat for supporting her husband's fishing business.
Now, leading this group for the new loan, Kon will use her portion to buy a casting net for the fish-catching business of her husband and to fix the boat. She hopes that her husband can catch more fishes for sale so as to increase their income to maintain a good standard of living for her family and keep her children in school.
Additional Information
About VisionFund CambodiaVisionFund Cambodia is a Christian organization and microfinance institution that provides small loans and other financial services to improve the lives of children, empower poor women and their families, and grow successful businesses. The organization works primarily in rural parts of Cambodia and has distinguished itself by targeting the very poor who require smaller loan sizes, regardless of religious beliefs, gender or ethnic background.
Kiva lenders' funds will help the organization to expand into the northeastern provinces of the country, which have historically been underserved and difficult to reach with financial services.
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.

The Certified Environmental Professional (CEP) Program began in 1979. In that first year, ten environmental professionals were awarded the CEP designation. Since that time the CEP logo has been trademarked by the US Patent & Trademark Office, and the credential has achieved international recognition.
At its inception, the CEP Program operated under the auspices of the National Association of Environmental Professionals and the CEP credential could only be awarded to NAEP members. In 1993, after 14 years of operation, NAEP transferred the CEP program itself to a subsidiary body – The Academy of Board Certified Environmental Professionals (ABCEP) which continues to operate the program today.
In 1999, ABCEP was incorporated as a non-profit organization, independent of NAEP. Since then, the CEP designation has been made available to the broader environmental community. As a result, the number of CEPs has grown and several organizations, in addition to NAEP, endorse ABCEP as their recommended organization for certification.
For more information or to apply, visit the ABCEP website: www.abcep.org.
