About HOPE DRCHOPE International has been providing small business loans and savings services to thousands of entrepreneurs in DRC since 2004. HOPE DRC targets small business owners who can use loans to increase their inventories or invest in assets that have the potential to increase their incomes. Funds from Kiva lenders play a major role in expanding access to affordable, flexible capital for micro-entrepreneurs, 80% of whom are women.
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.

City Shrouded in Shadow is an upcoming PS4 and Vita collaboration between Bandai Namco and Granzella, the developer currently working on the renewed Disaster Report 4 project.

The story centers around a couple trying to escape the city as it's being destroyed by shadowy giants. The last time we saw City Shrouded in Shadow, Ultraman was introduced as a potential mischief-maker along with a subtle hint towards Godzilla.

According to the latest issue of Famitsu, Godzilla will indeed be making an appearance, and now we have another hint at a different giant. In the bottom right corner of the page... could it be an Evangelion?

I wonder what other monstrosities we might see? Ghidorah? Mothra? A Titan? Personally, I'm rooting for the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man.

The Legend of Zelda for Wii U missed its 2015 release and didn't show up in Nintendo's 2016 financials forecast either, though current scuttlebutt is guessing Zelda Wii U launches at the end of this year, right with Nintendo's new "NX" console and an "NX" port of Zelda Wii U (much like Nintendo did with Twilight Princess).

A "busy" Eiji Aonuma joked with Famitsu, as translated by Kotaku, "When we did Skyward Sword for the Wii, at the end stages of development, I was in charge of the characters' dialogue and the in-game text. And, now as well, it's like it was then. I had to work on text today, too.

"But, the game has really taken shape, and things have gotten easier. That means things are progressing well."

Aonuma says the theme for the next Legend of Zelda is "something new" -- "like Ocarina of Time was." And we've known that for a while, save details (except that it'll avoid Skyward Sword tutorial overload). Of course, harking back to OoT is a bit weird when you follow with:

"I think the base of our secret sauce has always been Ocarina of Time. But this time, the change in flavor will be like going from Japanese food to Western style food. Perhaps, players will be surprised."

It took them long enough, but Bandai Namco's finally making good on its promise to put an Idolm@ster game on the PS4. Details and screens have arrived in the latest issue of Famitsu, giving the game a name and a timeframe. It'll be called Idolm@ster: Platinum Stars, and is scheduled for release this year.

In details translated by Gematsu, Platinum Stars will reportedly feature the thirteen original cast members of 765 Productions, the starring outfit of The Idolm@ster and The Idolm@ster 2. Players will step into the role of a new producer joining the company, and form bonds with the girls while managing their costumes, training, and performance. According to series producer Youzou Sakagami, the game is 60% through development.

Other than the absurdly overpriced iOS ports of the PSP games, we've never had an Idolm@ster game in English, so I'm not quite getting my hopes up for a localized release. Still, it would be nice if Bandai Namco thought a generational jump would make for the right time to take the plunge on bringing the series across the pond.

Grasshopper CEO Suda51 is finally getting to stretch his creative muscles again after a string of games from the company that he was much less personally involved in.

Over at Famitsu, the auteur is penning Killer7 stories confusingly called Killer is Dead. Grasshopper confirmed on Twitter that the story has nothing to do with Killer is Dead and is "a spin off of story Killer 7."

I have no idea what it's about on account of it being in Japanese and Google Translate just yields garbled mess about Batman and a baseball bat, but maybe it'll get translated soon! It'd be interested to see what Suda's got floating around in his head, especially as I was pretty unimpressed with Killer is Dead disingenuous weirdness.

According to Famitsu's annual report (via VG24/7), the Japanese games industry was worth ¥321 billion - that's a 13 percent drop from the previous year.

Although these figures do not take into account digital sales (which, let's face it, surely must be increasing year-on-year -- particularly with the rise of the mobile game market), console sales fell 8.5 percent and software sales dropped 16 percent, making this the least profitable year in 26 years.

In regards to traditional sales, last year's leader was Monster Hunter X, which has sold 2.4 million copies since its launch in November, 2015 -- an interesting tidbit, given Nintendo otherwise dominates the sales chart.

Two new Danganronpa projects have just been announced and I have no idea how I feel about either of them. For one, Danganronpa 3 is actually not a video game. It's an anime, subtitled The End of Hope's Peak, and will hypothetically bring the story of Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc's survivors to a close.

Based on the teaser image for the anime, it appears Makoto Naegi will be answering for his actions in Danganronpa 2, which I won't spoil because A) you should really play the best game of 2014 & B) we do not have enough bandwidth on the site for me to explain the story of Danganronpa. According to a Famitsu translation posted on NeoGAF, the show will "satisfy fans of the series, [using] tricks that can only be done in anime."

We also have a handful of new details regarding New Danganronpa V3, the next video game in this franchise. The same GAF translation notes that V3 will focus on bluffing as a player mechanic. "The trials this time will rely on lying to take down your opponent's arguments," GAF user GSR writes.

Every robot animal seen in the games to date will appear, including Monomi (which doesn't make sense, see previous comments regarding Danganronpa 2) and series mascot Monokuma. New Danganronpa V3 will be coming to PlayStation 4 and PS Vita in 2016, according to a previous announcement.

What little I gleaned from the respective trailers seems to indicate Ultimate Despair will be the arc villains going forward, with the Hope's Peak gang left behind. I can get behind that; it's hard to shoehorn high schoolers into the same situation over and over, but I'd still like to see the original crew in a support role going forward. Also, is that a robot clone of Makoto headlining V3? Hell yeah, actually.

[Update: Capcom has also confirmed the game is "in development for the west."]

The newest issue of Famitsu has revealed the existence of Ace Attorney 6, the newest main line entry in the Ace Attorney series.

According to translations provided by Kotaku, the game will feature systems allowing for faster gameplay progress and will be playable on 3DS at Tokyo Game Show on September 17-20.

While little else is currently known, I'm totally up for a new Ace Attorney game some time soon. Roll on Ace Attorney 6.

The lack of weapon degradation isn't the only difference to the upcoming Fire Emblem If's combat. The swords-beat-axes-beat-lances-beat-swords triangle is changing, too, Famitsu reports (picked up by Hachima Kikou and translated by Gematsu).

Now it goes: swords and magic > axes and bows > lances and concealed weapons, circling back to lances and conceal weapons > swords and magic.

Additionally, to combat the removal of weapon durability and usage limits (staffs still are numbered use), stronger weapons have built in limitations. The example Gematsu gave is, "the Bronze Sword has no chance of landing a Critical hit, but has +10 Critical evasion, while the stronger Steel Sword has -5 evasion and makes it hard to use a Pursuit attack."

Famitsu also revealed new characters. Felicia (maid), Joker (butler), Gunther (great knight), and Suzukaze are allies in either version of the game. Saizou and Kagerou (shinobi) are only allies in the White version. These classes use concealed weapons, "which have weakening effects on enemy abilities when attacked."

Capcom producer Jun Takeuchi (Resident Evil 5, Lost Planet) told Famitsu in an interview (via Game Johou) that the game he is currently producing is for the PlayStation 4 (and not Deep Down, which we've been assured will still come out).

"As far as the quality of the game I'm currently working on goes, I'm sure you all will be surprised," Takeuchi said. He noted that there would be an announcement soon, "Not only domestically, but we're making it into something that will turn plenty of heads if we were to release it in the foreign market as well."

Unsure that Capcom has the capacity to excite me anymore, but hopefully it's cool (unlike Resident Evil 5 and Lost Planet).

Square Enix was quiet this year. It's been all publishing and Final Fantasy milking. A Realm Reborn supposedly became something worth playing, Final Fantasy X, X-2 HD came out, random crap like the Final Fantasy VII motorcycle minigame and Final Fantasy Explorers happened, early Final Fantasy XV test footage let us take a nature hike and bro'd trip. Really hard to textually combine "bro" and "road trip" without it looking like "broad."

Anyways. A Famitsu leak (via CS Blog by way of Kotaku) has Square Enix president Yosuke Matsuda quoted as saying, "Actually, right now, we are readying a new role-playing game for home consoles that isn't a remake, In December, we'll start with making an announcement."

There will also be other games announced, which is a less exciting prospect. "To avoid misunderstanding, among the forthcoming titles that do not include the home consoles, there are also various games bound for smartphones and PC," Matsuda explained. "There are titles studios outside Japan are developing, too.

"Starting early next year, I think we'll be announcing various types of titles, But at this stage, we cannot say which will be for home consoles or portables."

Arc System Works released Guilty Gear Xrd -Sign- in arcades earlier this year in Japan, with console versions coming soon. Famitsu released a sneak peak of Network and Training Modes coming to the PlayStation 3 and 4.

It has been revealed that Network Mode will feature full cross-play that will allow PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 gamers to go head to head with each other. Practice Mode will feature four different ways to play. In addition to tutorials and missions, the Challenge feature will let players try out combos and special moves with various characters, and the Training feature will let players brush up on fine details in moves.

Guilty Gear Xrd -Sign- will be released later this year for PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 in Japan.

Mobile games are usually quick and easy, but you still have to end up fiddling with touch controls to figure out. That's if they work correctly. White Cat Project, recently revealed by Famitsu, seeks to change all of that by requiring only the use of players' thumbs for the entire game.

Players will "stretch" thumb presses (like holding a note in Dance Dance Revolution), press the screen, or quickly tap to activate skills, engage in combat, and more. Did we mention it also looks positively adorable?

The mobile RPG will let you party with other AI-controlled characters or online with up to four other human players in real time, banding together to take on larger bosses and collecting some sweet loot drops along the way. It looks like it'll be another free-to-play darling, but it's so cute I know I'm still probably going to pick it up at some point if it's localized.

White Cat Project will be released on both Android and iOS platforms later this year.

When Sega revealed a new game in the Shining series in February, then disappointed fans everywhere by showcasing a fighting game rather than an RPG, butts were significantly hurt. Now, there may be a light on the horizon yet.

According to Famitsu, Sega is developing a brand new Shining RPG known as Shining Resonance, created in conjunction with Media Vision, the dev known for the excellent Wild Arms series.

The Famitsu spread revealed the first confirmed character, Kirika Towa Alma, a "Song Maiden" who wields powerful magic and is apparently the game's version of a healer. It also looks like music will play quite the large role in the game, such as harmonization with dragon and hearing "song magic" with in-game music. There's also no transitions between battles and the overworld, which sounds absolutely awesome, MMO-style.

Unfortunately, there's no release date as of yet, but there's plenty of information here to whet my whistle. Stay tuned for additional info where we can get it. Are you excited for a new entry in the Shining series?

Famitsu's latest issue tells us that a new Ace Attorney 3DS game is on its way. Phoenix Wright's ancestor is the star, it looks like. That makes sense, as the game takes place during Japan's Meiji era (September 1868 through July 1912). In Japanese it's called Dai Gyakuten Saiban - Naruhodou Ryuunosuke no Bouken, or, translated, Grand Turnabout Trial - The Adventures of Naruhodou Ryuunosuke.

The series has always changed the location for localization. It'll be interesting to see how they do that with this one should it be localized.

This week we've been talking up a new PS3 and Vita RPG from Lancarse, the folks behind Lost Heroes, Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey and two Etrian Odyssey Games. We learned of its name just yesterday, and today we can finally see what it looks like.

And it looks good!

Famitsu has the first look at Lost Dimension. They say that it tells the story of an agency called S.E.A.L.E.D. and their fight against the guy that is bringing about the end of the world. Typical RPG stuff, right?

In the debut screens you'll see a few shots of the battle system and the world as well as the guy that's going to bring about the end of the world (it'll be obvious). You'll also see two of the team members of S.E.A.L.E.D., Shou Kasugai and Yoko Tachibana.

I love the character design, and that's probably because Makoto Tsuchibayashi is behind it. He worked on Devil May Cry, Sengoku Basara, Vanquish, and others as character designer.

Lost Dimension will be released on August 7 for PS3 and Vita in Japan.

I'm looking forward to hearing more about this game. You?

This week's new Famitsu reveals a few more details on upcoming 3DS game Persona Q: Shadow of Labyrinth. The most interesting new bit confirms that other Persona 3 and Persona 4 party members can use alternate Personas, called Sub-Personas. Tumblr user pepsimangb translated the blurb, and he says that the characters gain this power by way of the two protagonists meeting each other. How neat is that?

The battle system of Persona Q features a boos meter that is built up by exploiting weaknesses. Being fully Boosted lets you use skills for free on the next turn. Also, All-Out Attacks have a higher change of pushing other characters into this Boosted state.

Finally, party talk can change depending on who is fighting alongside you. I'm sure Stupei is happy to run his mouth.

More! More! I want to hear more about this game.

Lately, Namco Bandai has been pretty keen to show off its upcoming title, Dark Souls II. With early 2014 looking pretty packed, From Software's next entry in the Souls series looks to be the one to keep an eye out for. In the recent issue of the Famitsu, readers got a taste of what to expect in the upcoming action/RPG title.

The magazine went in-depth with the reveal of two brand new covenants; the Warriors of Sunlight, which is an evolution of Sunlight Covenant in the original game, and the Guardians of the Bell, a black phantom focused faction where players are summoned as the notorious entities and must stop other players from ringing two bells within the game world.

In addition to this new info, we got a whole slew of new screenshots showing off much of the new enemies, areas, and loot. Take a look!

With the arrival of the new generation, Capcom is looking to try new strategies for how to better satisfy its audience. And while Deep Down is an interesting experiment, a producer at Capcom has some other ideas in mind -- and it's all about the publisher going back to its roots.

During an interview in the recent Famitsu, translated by Siliconera, Motohide Eshiro talked about his desires to see Capcom return to some of its classic brands. As a producer for Ace Attorney, Devil May Cry, and the Onimusha franchises, he's had firsthand experience with working on such properties. "Well, since I am part of Capcom, I'd like to continue releasing more games for Onimusha and Devil May Cry," he tells Famitsu.

"Again, I'd also like to revive side-scroller games, such as Final Fight and Dungeons & Dragons! They may be simple, but they have plenty of depth, and I definitely believe that remaking older action games with today's technology would make things interesting."

Eshiro elaborated, adding that the publisher still has deep knowledge of the action genre that must be taken advantage of while it can. "I believe that this brilliant sense of balance has been cultivated from Capcom's years and years of knowhow, and was only made possible because it was made by Capcom. That said, I believe that while Capcom should never throw that away, they also need to expand where they can."

While Capcom has disappointed fans in recent years, Eshiro speaks quite honestly about what the company can do to set things right. Strider is certainly a great start, and his positivity is great indicator for the publisher's desire to change things. Let's just hope they'll follow through.

What other long-dormant games should Capcom look at to revive for the new console generation?

Japanese gaming magazine Famitsu has published a list of the country's top-selling games from January 1 2001 to September 29 2013. Nintendo dominated. There are quite a few other surprises, especially when you parse the list by platform and see just how poorly Xbox has done in Japan. Or look at hardware sales to find the PSP is right under the PS2 in terms of sales. Or notice that only one PS3 game (Final Fantasy XIII) cracked one million sales (and it's sequel did less than half the sales of the first game).

There are a lot of interesting narratives here. Animal Crossing: New Leaf is the newest game in the top 20.

Some things to note: Re-releases are not counted towards totals, nor are direct downloads off of services such as the PlayStation Store. Copies bundled with hardware count towards sales totals.

This Neogaf post lays the full list out best. Snippets below.

Super Smash Brothers and Kirby creator Masahiro Sakurai used his weekly Famitsu column, as translated by Polygon, to reflect on being a judge for the Game Designers' Award at this past Tokyo Game Show. Sony's Unfinished Swan ended up taking the prize. "When we started judging, the votes were so split that I thought more than once that we wouldn't have a winner at all," he said. "However, in the end I think we made a good selection, since there are some things to this game you won't see anywhere else."

Sakurai then turned his attention to explaining why he finds the award worthwhile: it serves as an incentive to keep awarding unique gameplay amidst a lot of rehashed ideas. "Is there any industry that relies so much on reusing and reusing their old titles as much as video games?" Sakurai asked. "Compared to other media like movies, dramas, animation, novels and comics, the glut of franchises and remakes is at an unnatural level."

You have to learn the rules of a game before you can play, and that presents hurdles from the very start. That's why you have a generally unified approach to control methods between titles, and you can usually play one by taking what you already know and adding a feature or two to it — X means jump, Square means attack, and so on.

The evolution makes sense. Consider cinema from 1920 to 1960. The big studio system saw eight or so enormous studios churn out basically all of the films that were shown, to the point that anti-trust laws were invoked to break the system up. We remember the classics, but the era was chock full of cliche and derivative, mercenary film making intended to make a buck. Meanwhile, the late 50's, 60's and 70's are some of the highest regarded eras in film making in terms of originality and stylistic innovation. Kind of like the burgeoning indie revolution.

Get ready for more farm fun as the latest issue of Famitsu has revealed that a new Harvest Moon will come to the 3DS in Japan in February. ANN (scan at 0taku) says that the new game Bokujō Monogatari: Tsunagaru Shin Tenchi (Ranch Story: Connecting New Worlds), hits shelves next year for 5,040 yen.

This follows the fantastic Harvest Moon: A New Beginning (which I still haven't finished). In it, fieldwork has been tweaked to be more simple now. Also, players can go on safaris to take care of other animals. They can trade products from their work with other countries using the Trading Post, too.

Let's hope this comes our way. I'm knee deep in Rune Factory 4 now. I hope I'm not still playing these other two when this one finally comes our way.

Ni no Kuni studio Level-5 is developing a set of three role-playing games for mobile platforms, Weekly Famitsu reports. Part of the company's 15th anniversary celebrations, the trio of titles features a few high profile names alongside some diverse concepts.

Wonder Flick is a loot-based role-player directed by Level-5 boss Akihiro Hino and featuring a soundtrack by legendary Final Fantasy composer Nobuo Uematsu. There's also Majin Station, a railway sim boasting artwork from Yusuke Kozaki of Fire Emblem: Awakening fame. Finally, Chikyu Kaimetsu teki B-kyu Kanojo is a more traditional RPG set in a post-apocalyptic world where most of the men have died off, leaving behind a wasteland full of beautiful female mercenaries. Because of course.

All three games will be coming to iOS and Android devices later this year.

The latest Famitsu has updates on the status of upcoming Final Fantasy franchise games. You know, so you can plan out your year and whatnot.

The HD ports of X and X-2 are coming along. I recently played them, so stay tuned for my impressions. I also spent time with Lightning Returns a couple of weeks ago. They say it's 70 percent done, but it seemed ready to go to me.

Here is where we stand on the upcoming titles:

Final Fantasy X HD – 80%

Final Fantasy X-2 HD – 65%

Final Fantasy VIII (PC) – 80%

Liberation Maiden is getting a sequel! Well, sort of. It seems like Grasshopper Manufacture has decided to eschew Shoko's roots, following up last year's 3DS shooter with a visual novel for PlayStation 3.

According to Siliconera, an upcoming project entitled Liberation Maiden Sin was revealed in the latest edition of Weekly Famitsu. Published by 5pb and penned in part by Suda 51, the title follows the telepathic Kiyoto Kaido and several other members of Shoko Ozora's presidential cabinet. No word on a release date or whether Grasshopper intends to bring the game west, but we'll keep our ear to the ground.

When Acquire started teasing a new PS Vita game with satellite photos, Jonathan Holmes suspected they who made Way of the Samurai were making a sequel to PSN Centipede classic The Last Guy. I, on the other hand, figured it was a sequel to their PSP vampire-stripping "classic" Akiba's Trip. We were both wrong.

Acquire, in collaboration with Class of Heroes developer Zerodiv, are making Mind 0 (stylized as MIND≒0), which Famitsu is calling a "stylish school dungeon RPG" taking place in two worlds, a regular one and a freaky "Mental" one filled with crazy demonic versions of ourselves. Players and their crew will summon Persona-esque alter egos to do turn-based battles using a power called MIND, which stands for "Mental Inside Nobody Doll". Settings include various urban Japanese locations, including Akihabara, Yokohama, Omiya, and Nippori. The four satellite photos and GPS coordinates from the teases are of those locations' respective train stations.

Besides that, Acquire also revealed some of the Japanese voice cast, including a number of notable anime performers including Tomokazu Sugita (Kyon from The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya), Rina Sato (Negi from Negima!), Yuichi Nakamura (Gundam 00's Graham), and Takehito Koyasu (Zechs from Gundam Wing).

So far, so Persona, but that's not exactly a problem in my book, at least.

Grasshopper Manufacture CEO Suda 51 is apparently more than a little excited for the PS4. In fact, the eccentric game designer claims to be horny for Sony's upcoming console. Let's hope it's not because he's had some thoughts about the "Share" button.

... Who am I kidding? We all had those thoughts.

"As has been announced, Grasshopper Manufacture will make games for PS4, as will GungHo Online Entertainment and Acquire," wrote Suda in his Famitsu column. "I can't go into detail at this stage, but for sure the new challenge is exciting.

"During PlayStation Meeting 2013, Sony showed such a strong vision. Now we have to decide how to find our own victories within that and present games that express the Grasshopper world. And that makes me horny."

Following the PlayStation Vita's Japanese price cut, SCE Japan president Hiroshi Kawano has told Famitsu the handheld is performing a "little" less impressively than it expected. That's one brave way of putting it.

"Certainly, at the present time, maybe we're a little behind the numbers we originally pictured," he said. "I feel we have a ways to go in terms of getting across the good traits of the PS Vita, along with everything the software has to offer."

As far as the price drop goes, Kawano downplayed the reduction as simply an effort to get more of a great product into the hands of the market.

"The biggest reason is that we simply want to have more people playing the PS Vita," he claimed. "Based on our research, there are two broad reasons why people who may want to try the Vita aren't purchasing it. One, they want to wait until there's a game they want to play on it. Two, the price is a little out of reach for them.

The latest issue of Famitsu has some juicy details on the upcoming Earth Defense Force 2025, including a release window. In Japan, at the very least, bugs and buildings alike will see their downfall this June. Hopefully, those of us in the west won't have to wait very much longer than that.

In the meantime, the article also features a massive collection of screenshots displaying some new enemy types. There's a new Hector with a one-way shield which should completely invalidate my general strategy of "keep the Hectors as far the hell away from me as possible." Oh, and BEES. All this game needs are some wasps and we can have all my insectoid (and arachnid) fears all in one place.

According to a poll by videogame magazine Famitsu, Sony's ailing PlayStation Vita is the most desired console in Japan.

The survey found that 64% of respondents wanted a PlayStation Vita. The second most desired system is the 3DS at a significantly lower 48%, followed by the Wii U at 34%.

The PS Vita has not had a glorious run in Japan so far, being upstaged by the 3DS and going through periods of sinking sales numbers. According to Famitsu, the Vita hasn't had an underwhelming performance through lack of want, which only leads us back to the Vita's biggest issue -- its price. Apparently, folks are interested in Sony's new handheld, they just aren't prepared to pay Sony's toll.

Sony, for the most part, has refused to entertain the idea of a price drop, seemingly convinced that it has a following as spend-happy and loyal as Apple's. Even as Kaz Hirai himself admits the Vita isn't meeting expectations, the company still seems unwilling to make any practical changes to address it. I can only sigh in resignation at this point.

The latest issue of Famitsu [via Game Nyarth] reveals several new battle systems details in Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII. There's not a solid name for the new battle system yet, so they're calling it "Amazing ATB" for now. I think the name is a keeper.

As we've heard a bit about before, commands will be mapped to the controller's face buttons, and direct movement of Lightning's movement will be available during fights. Her equipment, accessories, and abilities will be formed into sets called Styles that can be switched out during battle. All of this combines to give the feeling that you're still controlling a multi-member party, though you'll only be controlling Lightning alone.

Winning battles will earn points that can be used to increase available world time and upgrade Lightning's equipment.

Monsters will appear in and around cities, appearing from black hazes. About half of the game's monsters are new.

Lightning's new costume, which was designed by Tetsuya Nomura, can be changed during the game, along with color choices. So I guess it's not just pink and purple this time.

She is joined in her loan group by a few more members. Manzooran baji wants a loan to buy more video games for her video game shop. Hajra baji wants a loan to buy cigarettes for her cigarette shop. Rukhsana baji wants a loan to buy wood to resell. Kalsoom baji wants a loan to repair her auto-rickshaw (a local three-wheeled vehicle).
This is a group loan. The loan funds will be distributed among the group members, each of whom will invest in her own business. The members mutually guarantee one another's loans. If one member does not repay, the other members are responsible.
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.

[Quote]My guess is that Manny Ramirez will eventually sign for 3 years 55 million dollars guaranteed. Is he worth it? No. However, there will be someone out there who will cave and give the quitter his money. He will then promptly return to putting up good but not great (Dodgers) numbers, run the basepaths whenever he feels like it (not often), fake injuries, make the occasional trade request to front office executives, play lousy defense, and pick fights with fellow teammates and team personnel. Does that sound about right to anybody else not named law2005 or Moonslav?[/Quote]
That's about right. The LAD are in desperate need for offense after their insightful Jones and Pierre signings. The SFG need just about everything, but since their top hitter had all of 16 HRs, Manny should be their priority.

"The City of the Unloved" Top 5 Page for this destination Changchun by mke1963
Changchun Travel Guide: 76 reviews and 128 photos
Changchun, city of eternal spring, as the name translates, is forever linked to the pathetic, melancholic Aixin "Henry" Puyi, last Qing emperor, and from 1932 to 1945 puppet emperor of the Japanese Manchurian dictatorship.
The guidebooks are universally scathing about Changchun, giving the impression that you should "visit it is you really must".
In reality, Changchun is a charming city, struggling with its precarious existence, relying on its legacy rust-belt industries, yet determinedly developing new, cleaner industries in the automotive and biochemical arenas. Automotive? Yup: this is China's Motown, churning out hundreds of thousands of Liberation trucks in days gone by, and now churning out Volkswagens and Audis and a host of domestic brands.
Like Crewe in England, Changchun exists only because of its railways. With no special geographical feature, other than its ferociously cold winters, Changchun was born simply because two railways, the South Manchurian Railway and China's Eastern Railway, bumped into each other in a field. Where they built a station. And then a goods depot. And an engine shed. And a post office. And so on, as Changchun grew fast from servicing the railway engines, to building them (and they still build railway carriages here), and with a smart piece of vertical integration, they started making the steel here as well.
Changchun grew to become a provincial capital (of "Kirin"), then the capital city of Manchukuo, and back to being the provincial city of the now renamed Jilin.
It is an unpretentious city: it knows it is industrial, and it knows it is not going to win any beauty contests, but there is a friendly charm about the wide tree-lined streets and carefully planned boulevards that make a visit to Changchun a worthwhile pursuit.
The town was laid out with military precision, and the master-plan is followed to this day, with the epicentre the gargantuan Renmin Square. Al around the city, the visitor can find traces of the Japanese and Russian influences in many old buildings, especially along Renmin Dajie which slopes downhill for several kilometres to end, presciently, at the railway station. Just two blocks up from the station, the old Manchurian post office is still the post office, its gothic architecture still inspiring. Further south, a crenellated department store looks largely unchanged from the 1930s postcard pictures of it.
Many of the older Manchurian buildings are now reincarnated as government buildings - ward, city, or provincial. Just walk; just explore.
Changchun is a busy, modern city, but with a more human scale than comparable cities like Chongqing, Lanzhou or Xi'an.
The people of Changchun may get a raw deal from the guidebooks, and its history may be one of being unloved, but Changchun quickly became one of my favourite Chinese cities, largely because it is simply Chinese.
- Pros:Architecture, friendly people
- Cons:Mall developments, climate
- In a nutshell:Worth visiting! Honestly!

This is a glorious light filled townhouse with superb views overlooking the Mediterranean coast, conveniently located between the restaurants and bars of Fuengirola, and the traditional cafes and artisan shops of the charming white washed village of Mijas.
From the large south facing balcony and the comfortable living room you have breathtaking views down to the sea.
Elegant marble floors and full air conditioning keep you cool in summer, while in the winter months you can snuggle up to the log burner and take advantage of the central heating.
Both bedrooms have ensuite bathrooms and there's an additional cloakroom off the hallway. From the master bedroom you can walk out onto the lower terrace in the morning and enjoy the sunshine and the views. A grassed area adds to the charm. The master bedroom also has a large walk-in dressing area with huge mirrors and wardrobes. The luxurious ensuite to the master bedroom is fully tiled in marble with a bath and shower over, and has a window with a view. The other bathroom has a walk in shower.
A safe is also provided for valuables.
My favourite time is early evening, just as the sun is setting and the lights are coming on along the coast.
A large utility area in a rear lower courtyard keeps all the washing and drying out of the way.
Both the upper balcony and lower terrace are fully furnished with table and chairs for al fresco meals. There are sun loungers for relaxing and enjoying the Mediterranean sunshine.
There is a beautifully maintained shared swimming pool, heated in the cooler months. We are part of a small gated community so security is never a problem.
There really is every facility available nearby. There are banks and shops in Fuengirola, with the famous department store El Corte Ingles on the way into town. Theres a great selection of food supermarkets plus a really good market. Fuengirola also has a fabulous selection of restaurants and traditional tapas bars.
The famous Valparaiso restaurant and cabaret is only just across the road. Its a fabulous and fun night out.
Just up the hill in Mijas life is quieter and more traditional. This historic whitewashed village has retained its charm. On holy days the statue of the Virgin Mary is still paraded through the streets.
You can visit the bull ring and browse round artisan and craft shops selling leather handbags and jackets, paintings, and ceramics. Or just order a coffee and watch the donkeys ferry their passengers up and down the cobbled streets.
My favourite tennis club is just down the road. The Lew Hoad Campo de Tenis was built 40 years ago by the great Aussie champion. It runs mix ins, tournaments and coaching for any standard of play and is a wonderful way to play some social tennis and meet people. It also has Padel and a new gym. For the less energetic theres a hairdressing salon or treat yourself to a massage.
Golfers can choose from over 50 different courses in the area, including the world famous courses at La Cala and Mijas Golf. It is called the Costa del Golf for a very good reason!
There are lots of beaches within easy reach. For children theres a super playground, a great Aquapark and very good Zoo.
Further afield there are so many places to explore- Marbella with its fabulous Old Town and Orange Square, the millionaire yachts in the marina at Puerto Banus, or Malaga with the Picasso museum, the newly discovered Roman Amphitheatre. Go shopping or sample a glass of Malaga wine in one of the tapas bars.
The windsurfing attractions of Terifa are only just over an hour away. this stretch of coastline is fabulously unspoilt and laid back.
In the winter head for the ski slopes of the Sierra Nevada, or explore the fabulous Alhambra at Granada, a world heritage site.
Take a trip to Gibraltar, (80 mins). For a day out with a difference head for the souks and bazaars of exotic Tangiers in Morocco. (90 mins plus a short trip on the fast ferry)Although a car is useful, it is by no mean essential. (Although I can recommend a good value, reliable local car hire company)
The bus to either Mijas or Fuengirola stops just outside the community (and theres a bus every 30 minutes). From Fuengirola you can pick up the bus or air-conditioned coach to places of interest up and down the coast.
From Malaga airport (the station is a 10 minute walk from the terminus) you can take the train to Fuengirola and then pick the bus up to El Porton.
Malaga station offers connections to the fast AVE train system all over Spain
A welcome pack can be arranged, particularly for late arrivals.

Speedo makes the highest quality suits. This suit is more of their liberal style. Higher on the sides than most of their suits and the pattern what can I say! You buy this suit because you want people to look at you! I bought both the sizes 32 and 34. The 32 was more snug. The 34 had more room in the butt and I did not need that. I returned the 34. I would rather have the suit a little more tight than loose plus I do not know if the suit will stretch with time.

Purchased for my Boyfriend
He uses the product leisurely - swimming at the pool or beach, walking around the neighborhood, doing the laundry, sun bathing, and group gatherings. Some things that are great about this product are its drawstring, the sleek aerodynamic fit, and its a definite crowd pleaser! These will cause you to have the most hypnotic bulge! The only downside is that I have to keep everyone away from touching it!

Speedo's Solar Swimsuit
I'll be using this swimsuit for lap swimming. I like the snuggness of fit without having to use the draw string. I would like the side panels to be closer to and inch.

Awesome 80s Mens Bikini Swimsuit
This is a little too racy for me to wear to the public pool, but not in my private back yard. I love the print and cut of this suit. When I wear this bikini swimsuit, I feel like I'm back in the 80s where a man can wear a bikini and feel & be cool in it. But unfortunately now-a-days most people would think you're crazy and weird to wear a suit like this in public, but I still love it anyway.

nice suit, feels true to size
I use this suit for lap swimming but will also use for a non-U.S. vacation suit. I like the cut although slightly smaller sides would be better. I don't like the front center seam. With the liner, there is too much fabric and two large seams. I would prefer a smooth front with a liner like other speedo models. Over all a nice suit.

This is a fantastic web page, might you be involved in doing an interview regarding how you created it? If so e-mail me!
Today, I went to the beachfront with my kids. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said "You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear." She put the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is entirely off topic but I had to tell someone!
I wish i had a style like that
These stories get me excited about what is possible. thanks =)

I hope you will consider this as a well-intentioned advice!

During the year 2000 teachers of statistics in UK higher education (HE) were asked about their needs to enhance their teaching skills so that, in due course, the learning experience of their students could be enhanced. From the results of this information-gathering exercise, and using evidence from elsewhere, I discuss in this chapter some ideas on how learning and teaching standards in statistics could be raised. A summary of the feedback from the statistical community, which can be viewed at the Web site www.mathstore.ac.uk, was reported in Learning and Teaching Support Network (LTSN) Mathematics, Statistics and Operational Research (OR) Newsletter (February 2000).
Experience suggests that it is not a straightforward matter to convince statistical colleagues of the value of new ideas, especially when the proverbial expression 'grandmother sucking eggs' pervades. Indeed, new approaches to convincing users of statistics, namely students and employers, of the value of the subject may be needed as well, especially given the recent decline in the number of students opting to study the subject in the UK, and the number of mathematics departments that have been closed, absorbed and/or 're-profiled' over the last 10 to 15 years.
Paradoxically, statistics is a relatively young subject, and has been at the forefront of embracing technology, especially with the wide availability of software packages that enable very rapid processing of large of amounts of data. However, simply having the use of a software package does not mean that statistical learning takes place.

Made a Decision to Take a 20% Day

View All Blog Entries from DESERTDREAMERS
Tuesday, July 21, 2009
I have this 80/20 plan. I make 80 % well-thought out, planned decisions. Or at least, 80 % better decisions than less than good ones. After my podiatry appointment this morning, I went to the gym and used the treadmill for 90 minutes. Ran intermittently 3 times with my speed spurts. Total, 5 miles. Hadn't planned to go 90 minutes, but the TV in front of me had Law & Order on ... and after it was over, I wanted to finish the 5 miles. OK, so that was a better decision. Didn't do strength training today, since I did it Sun & Mon.
Went to Chilli's for lunch. Had the mesquite chicken salad and thoroughly enjoyed it. I actually thought, when it arrived, I'd take half of it home. Hah! It was too good. So, that was about 800 calories (I left off the ranch dressing). I looked at the dessert menu, but nothing enticed me. Walked over to the nearby Walgreen's and wandered around. Found the frozen food section (ominous music here) and got some Moose Track ice cream - what they laughingly call 4 servings (1 pint) and I call unit dose. Yep - when I got it home, I ate the whole thing (600 Cal). So, I'm over my fat limit for the day, but have a little room for everything else. Since I've reSparked in Dec, I've lost 38 pounds and been pretty good. I think I've really had less than 20% wild & crazy in the past 6 months. I not only forgive myself, I embrace it - but only for today!
Crack-a-boom! Thunder and lightning and pouring rain. Flash flood warnings for the next couple of hours. Suddenly, my lap is very popular and it's hard to type.
Some people were struck with lightning on the 4th of July while they were out to wsatch fireworks. One died. A 12 yo girl was struck last night, but seems to be OK. Think I'll put off walking the pups. Maybe, we'll have to do obedience work inside, instead.
Word for the day: Synergism [syn�er�gism] n. Interaction of discrete agencies or conditions where the total effect is greater than the sum of the individual parts.
As in: "The synergism of the exercise and nutrition resources and support systems on SparkPeople magnifies the positive results."

Hezbollah chief calls on Arab, Muslim world to help lift Gaza blockade
Nasrallah asks Egypt to permanently open Rafah border crossing, says helping Gazans a religous duty.
Hezbollah leader Sheik Hassan Nasrallah called on people across the Arab and Muslim world to help lift the Israeli blockade against the Gaza Strip.
He has also appealed to Egyptian authorities to open the Rafah border crossing permanently.
Nasrallah was speaking in a televised speech broadcast on the Hezbollah owned Al-Manar TV on Monday. He says it's a humanitarian and religious duty to help the 1.5 million besieged Palestinians in Gaza.
At one point, Nasrallah addressed Arab leaders directly, saying "where are your Arab sensibilities? When a million and a half Arab people in the Gaza Strip are living under a siege, in hunger, under threat."
"My humanitarian, religious, Islamic, and Arabic sensibilities call on me to take part in actions and protests against it [the blockade]. We in Lebanon will do this."
Nasrallah added that "we find ourselves against a new phase of Israeli-American attempts to extinguish the Palestinian issue at every level. We are witnesses to attempts to totally exterminate all levels of the Palestinian issue, first and foremost the Gaza siege.
The Hezbollah chief claimed the blockade is an attempt to "break the will of the Palestinian people in order to force them to accept the edicts of the United States."
Nasrallah added that anyone who remains quiet and does nothing to help prevent the "occupation of Palestine, will have to face up to it at the end of days."
He called for a mass rally in Hezbollah's stronghold of Beirut's southern suburbs on Friday and urged Lebanese and other Arabs to hold demonstrations and sit-ins.

If in one class A:
Class A
public List<string> getValues
If i want to invoke the method, should I always check if the return value is null? although I don't think it could be null (should be an empty list). i.e.
Class B
public void GetSomething
foreach (var thing in A.getValues)
//do something....
Class B
public void GetSomething
var things = A.getValues;
if (things != null)
foreach (var thing in things)
//then doing something....
The reason for asking this question is that when I wrote unit test, I made the method in class A return null instead of empty list, however I dont know in real life if it happens, since if it could be null then it is always good to check rather than try catch the exception, Which one is more appropriate?

ID fish and disease? please.
1 Attachment(s)
I bought a tank on the weekend and it came with some fish. I cant find anything either fish normally looking like this does or the disease it may be carrying. I think they may be long fin white skirts or Black Widow Tetra but I dont know whats wrong with them if thats the case. Theres 3 that look exactly the same.
Appear to be tetra's of type I am not sure of.
Can say that so long as fishes are not being nipped, that twice weekly water changes for a few weeks should heal tattered fins without the need for any further treatment.
If fin nipping is occuring and you have the room,then adding a few more to the three you have may spread the nipping around.
Schooling specie's often nip at each other while establishing pecking order and the more fish in the school,,the less likely that one or two can be singled out.
Can't stress the water changes enough to help re=generate new growth on fin's and prevent secondary infection's from setting in.
Sorry should have mentioned, theres one Black skirt in there as well so 4 of them, if they are indeed skirts. I haven't noticed any excessive fin nipping just a wee bit to establish the pecking order. When I got the tank with them there was a kissing gourami and 3 plecos as well.
It makes me wonder though that 3 of them all look exactly the same. Dont know if adding more is a good idea at this point until I can figure out if this is a disease or not.

Styling Tip
Apply a nickel-size amount of lightweight styling lotion onto damp hair. Blow dry-two inch sections of hair with a round brush, applying upward tension at the root for lift and then turn the brush several times to add subtle roundness to the length. Rub styling cream on your fingers and run them through your hair to create soft definition.Try on celebrity hairstyles in the Makeover Studio!

Chris Hemsworth certainly has much to be thankful for this year. He's already starred in two huge blockbusters, shot a much-anticipated biopic with Ron Howard (Hemsworth plays famed Formula 1 race car driver James Hunt) and, last but certainly not least, he's added the title of "dad" to his résumé (his wife Elsa Pataky gave birth to a daughter in May).
But we at MTV News are thankful too — not just for Hemsworth's blossoming career, but for the colossal against-all-odds fan favorite that "The Avengers" became. We're still not sure how Joss Whedon did it, but we can say we're happy he did, and we're thrilled he's coming back for more with the sequel , due in 2015.
Speaking on behalf of his fellow superheroes, Hemsworth jumped on the phone with MTV News after a long day of work in London shooting "Thor: The Dark World." The always-affable Australian reflected on "Avengers," gave some hints of trouble at home for Thor and pondered picking up a lightsaber one day.
MTV: You had another hell of a year, Chris. Congratulations. "Snow White and the Huntsman," "Red Dawn" and, of course "The Avengers." We at MTV News are very much thankful for how well that film turned out.
Chris Hemsworth: Thank you and thanks to all the fans who supported us.
MTV: Were you confident during the making of the movie that it was going to turn out as well as it did?
Hemsworth: No! There was a lot of uncertainty, because there is no sure formula to it. This was so big and there were so many elements and so much green screen. It was hard to grasp exactly what this was and what it was going to be. I remember [Robert] Downey [Jr.] and I were talking during the shoot going, "I don't know how this going to turn out." And then at the premiere when it was being so well-received, we were like, " Oh my God, we pulled it off! Who would have thought … " You just never know.
MTV: Are there any films you are particularly thankful for this year?
Hemsworth: I hadn't read the "Hunger Games" book but was blown away by the film. "Dark Knight Rises"; Chris Nolan's a genius. That's someone I would love to get another opportunity to work with. Have you seen "Rust & Bone"?
MTV: Yes. Marion Cotillard is amazing in it.
Hemsworth: Oh my God. I think it's one of my favorite movies ever. I was just blown away by that film. I loved the truth and honesty about it. It was raw.
MTV: How is "Thor" going this time around?
Hemsworth: We have six weeks to go to shoot. This is the trickiest bit, because you can go, "Oh, yeah, we're past the halfway mark!" which isn't a good idea, because you're not finished yet. You sort of get that second wind about now or you hope to and push on through. But it's been great. The look of the film is a lot bigger than what we did even previously. The first one worked and people loved it, but this is with a different director and just has a totally different feel. There's a definite "Game of Thrones" vibe thanks to [director] Alan [Taylor].
MTV: Have the relationships between Thor and Jane and Loki progressed significantly?
Hemsworth: Definitely. For Thor and Jane, there are some unanswered questions now, since obviously he didn't stop in and catch up with her in "Avengers." Thor might have some explaining to do in this one.
MTV: I hadn't thought of that. Is Jane bitter that her boyfriend didn't bother to say hi during all that craziness?
Hemsworth: [Laughs.] I know, right? Where the hell have you been? There's some fun to be had with that. And with Loki, we get down to the major bones of our conflict with everything that's come from "Thor" to "Avengers" to now.
MTV: Your next project is "Robopocalypse" with Steven Spielberg. I'd imagine that's hugely exciting for you.
Hemsworth: Yeah! No one does sci-fi better than him. It was a no-brainer. And then I read the script and was even more excited if that's possible.
MTV: Have you heard anything about a "Snow White" sequel or spin-off lately?
Hemsworth: Honestly, I've heard the same things you've heard. I think if there's an appetite for the sequel, they'll get one going, but there's nothing official yet. I had a great time making the last one, so who knows?
MTV: With all of these franchises, do you have room for one more? "Star Wars" is gearing up again!
Hemsworth: Oh man, I love those films. That's the sort of bread and butter of my film experience as a kid. I would love to work on something like that. I also loved "Lord of the Rings." I would have loved to have done something in that world.
Stick with MTV Movies leading up to Thanksgiving as we reveal the films we're most thankful for in 2012!

BEECH ISLAND, S.C.---16-year-old Andrew House from North Augusta was killed in a wreck this morning.
The teen was driving on Highway 278/Sand Bar Ferry Road when his 1999 Dodge Ram truck struck a column under the Atomic Road bridge. South Carolina state troopers responded within three minutes, but it was already too late to save him.
The North Augusta High School student was pronounced dead at the scene.
An autopsy was performed this morning. Excessive speed is considered to be a factor in the accident. Though the truck was engulfed in flames when troopers arrived, the fire did not contribute to House's death.
This is the 18th fatal crash in Aiken County this year.
