As part of our series about students and teachers, musicologist Bruce Nemerov describes the way that one song is recorded by several different musicians in different decades of the 20th century. The older musicians are teaching the younger musicians through the song "Sitting on Top of the World." We hear the song as recorded by Al Jolson, The Mississippi Sheiks, Howlin' Wolf, Eric Clapton, Bill Monroe and The Grateful Dead.

And the winner is ... Emily Wright!
Emily Wright, a Denison University graduate from North Royalton, Ohio, received the Frederic K. W. Curry Theatre Award for 2014. This annual award was endowed in 1988 by the Curry family in memory of the 1954 graduate who played leading roles in Denison theatre productions while majoring in Sociology. The recipient is a graduating senior who, like Curry, has made a significant contribution to theatre production at Denison while majoring in another discipline.
Wright had majors in English and French and a minor in Theatre. Her off-campus semester was spent in Nantes, France, studying the language.
At Denison, Emily Wright continued her high school interest in stage managing. She was stage manager for "A Streetcar Named Desire," "Einstein & the Roosevelts," and "The Tragical History of Doctor Faustus." She ran the light board for "Dead Man's Cell Phone" and the sound board for "The Drowsy Chaperone."
As a senior, she served as President of the Denison Independent Theatre Association, having participated in DITA productions throughout her Denison career, stage managing the One-Act Play Festivals and their production of "The Road Bizarre."
In her home town, she served as stage manager for the Royalton Players for their production of "The 25th annual Putnam County Spelling Bee." During the past summer, she was a production intern at the Inwood Shakespeare Festival in Manhattan.
Emily Wright was an employee of the Theatre Scene Shop throughout her four years at Denison. She intends to pursue internships in stage management as the next step in her theatrical career.

Shrouded In Shadows by jackieoceanWatch

This is my entry for the book cover design contest for Susan Kay's Phantom that was being held by Llumina Press. I didn't win, but it was fun to do anyways - though thanks to all who voted for me!
This image was composed entirely in Photoshop with my tablet, and the version that I've posted here is sans text for the title and author's name. From September of 2005.

Wow. I didn't even see that he was wearing a mask at first. Pretty....
Wow, beautiful! An especially lovely job with the background and the cloak!
Wonderful. Totally captures Erik's dark side, but there's also a little curiosity in there as well. It's like "Who are you?", "You scare me.", and "Where did you come from?" at the same time.
Wow. Thats about all I can say. The attention to detail.........just amazing!
Captures the more sensual aspects of Kay's version. Very nice.
Wow. Just....wow. Really attracted to the detail on the mask, for some reason - great job!
Now this reminds me of Severus Snape AMAZING!
Geez...Yours is a million times better than the one that got on the cover...I think you should have won!
this is awesome! his eyes are so piercing really good, looove the background and the mask rocks!
Just... STUNNING! I like it when you do things that are original, as in, out of your imagination rather than just drawing a portrait - it just highlights how amazing you are!
This is beautiful, too bad you didn't win though.
Eh, I was mostly okay with not winning. I hardly ever win art contest things when I enter them anyhow. Besides, this was still fun to do. And thank you!
OMG!!That's tallented, haunting and absolutely gorgeous!!
OOOHOOOOOOOOOHHHHHH!!! so pretty i love the lighting, cloak, erik, rose (phan girl moment) much loves now time to favorite...
That is very good!
Ooh, It's lovely. And the rose... There's a thing with a man and a rose that way *Has a character who has a rose hairpin* But it looks good, overall. Don't know what the cover of the book looks like right now, but if it is as people say, you deserved to win, and you should've!
It's great and I think it is much better than the one they have chosen at the design contest for Susan Kay's Phantom. I'd better like to see this one on the cover of my book at home ^^
I only can say: need to be fav
I only can say: need to be fav
I would have loved to win, but oh well. Unfortunately, when there's a contest like this that involves online voting it often winds up turning into more of a popularity contest than anything else.
This is a great pic. Evocative!
Lovely composition, great background and picture in general - and I really dig the multitude of colours bouncing off his robes.
Thanks! His robes were actually a lot of fun to draw, and having all the colors in there keeps the black robe from being too dull.
*gasp* yay erik!!
It's amazing - one can barely see his eyes, but they burn all the same.
It's a very beautiful piece in terms of compositon, rendering, and color. It was definitely one of the entries that I was impressed by. Well done!
Ah am glad to have found this picture! *favourites* I voted for you in the competition and am sorry you didn't win...but such lovely entries. Look fwd to seeing further phantom works!
I remember voting for this when the competition was on. I had no idea it was yours! It's fantastic!

Headshots October 29th

Headshots are a Canucks Army feature where we link to the day's freshest news, and other assorted Canucks web-goodies.

Fashion tips for the locked-out hockey player
Patrick Johnston
October 29 2012 12:56PM
Like Fernando told us, it's more important to look good than to feel good.
With a little help from Alexandra Grant of Vancouver fashion blog To Vogue or Bust, we've got some advice for players who have lost access to their team-provided style experts (in the Canucks case, that roll is filled by Manny Malhotra). Booking ice time at the local public arena can be a scary enough experience, but dealing with the hordes of fans who will be scrutinizing your every public move - possibly even trying to join you in everything you do - it all can get a little scary. You want to look professional and sharp.
So for any professional, locked out hockey players reading this - we're here to help (well Alex really, I only asked some questions).
Zack Kassian Leapfrogs Cody Hodgson in Young Player Rankings

Tanev and Kassian celebrate their bright future.
Photo credit: Gerry Kahrmann, Vancouver Sun.
Since the Canucks traded Cody Hodgson (and Alexander Sulzer) for Zack Kassian (and Marc-Andre Gragnani), friend of the blog and ESPN and Hockey Prospectus prospect guru Corey Pronman has consistently stated that Buffalo "recieved the best player in the deal." That is until today, when he released his top-50 rankings for players under the age of 23. On that list (which, features two Canucks skaters in Zack Kassian and Chris Tanev) Zack Kassian has leapfrogged Cody Hodgson, who only appeared as an honorable mention.

Wolves' have no bite early, can't stay with high-flying Griffins
Patrick Johnston
October 29 2012 08:36AM
Yes, young Anton - SHOOT! (Photo: Chris Jerina/AHL in Photos)
Everyone knows how the Red Wings know how to draft and how to develop those draft picks. In case that's ever forgotten, watching the Grand Rapids Griffins is a good reminder of this fact. It's a lineup that features talent from top to bottom, even if they haven't had the greatest start to the season.
The Wolves themselves have shown that they can score, but the powerplay remained an issue. The goaltending has been there, but the penalty killing has been inconsistent to say the least.
The Wolves' powerplay actually clicked for once, but the penalty kill couldn't keep the puck out of the net at the end of the game, as the Griffins grabbed the victory 3-2 in overtime.
On to the game...

Authorities have arrested 32-year-old Jennifer Jarvis, 35-year-old Ricky Benjamin and 52-year-old Mark Mumley, all of Alburgh, and 41-year-old Shawn Farrell, of Swanton, on possession of stolen property and other charges.
Theyre accused of breaking into a home that has been vacant for several months after the owner died and stealing the coins.
Police said Thursday that they sold the coins, ranging in value from $350 to $1,800, to coin and jewelry dealers around Chittenden County.
So far, police have recovered $5,000 worth of coins. More arrests are expected.MORE IN Central VermontPLAINFIELD Vermont State Police said an armed standoff that lasted for several hours Sunday...

1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates generally to a patient oxygen supply tubing system for supplying oxygen to nasal cannulas and specifically to a patient's oxygen supply system for nasal cannulas that include a pinch or occlusion resistant oxygen tubing to prevent oxygen flow stoppage regardless of patient movement often caused by twisting or severe bending of the oxygen supply tubing.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Nasal cannulas include flexible tubing that can supply pure oxygen directly to the nasal passages of a patient whether in the hospital or in a home environment. Typically an oxygen supply tank (having a pressure relief valve and an outlet metering valve) is connected to an extended patient oxygen supply tube which terminates in dual nasal cannulas for supplying oxygen continuously under pressure from the tank to the patient. The fact that the patient must receive pure oxygen indicates severe health problems. It is imperative that the oxygen supply not be shut off at any time which could result in severe illness or death of the patient. However, because the patient's head is directly connected to the very flexible plastic oxygen supply tube through the nasal cannulas, physical activity and movement by the patient can twist, bend, pinch and distort the oxygen supply tube causing occlusion in the oxygen supply tube because of pinching or occlusive distortion of the tube. Currently, one approach to prevent occlusion in an oxygen supply tube is to "beef up" or strengthen a cross sectional area of the tube with an enlarged cross sectional area design in an attempt to prevent pinching or occlusion.
The present invention provides for a rotatable oxygen supply tubal coupling device that sealably joins tubal ends to permit sections of the oxygen supply tubes to rotate freely relative to each other, preventing pinching or twisting of the oxygen supply tube and therefore occlusion.
While various connectors have been shown in the past that can show universal coupling for health related equipment such that in U.S. Pat. No. 4,484,769, issued Nov. 27, 1984, such devices are not suitable for oxygen supply tubes. U.S. Pat. No. 5,275,444 issued Jan. 4, 1994 shows a swivel hose coupling for pressurized fuel and gas flow systems. U.S. Pat. No. 4,965,846 issued Oct. 23, 1990 shows a pivot pin bearing suited for disposable continuous flow filtration system cartridges that include rotatable elements in the fluid flow. The oxygen supply tubing in accordance with the present invention, since it is attached directly to a patient, must be lightweight, non-complex and is often disposable and must be low cost, at the same time insuring that no possible occlusion or leaking can occur in the tubing.
The present invention overcomes the problems of the prior art by providing an oxygen supply conduit having at least one non-complex rotatably coupling that includes a lubricant free bearing, sized strategically to provide a pressure seal of the supply tube sections which can be conveniently locked together allowing one section of tubing to rotate freely, quickly and easily relative to the adjoining adjacent section of tubing, thereby preventing any type of twist, pinch or occlusion in the tubing regardless of the patient's movement of the supply tube.
An oxygen supply conduit for nasal cannulas comprising a first flexible oxygen supply tube made of an air tight flexible plastic, a second flexible air tight oxygen supply tube and a rotatable sealable tube coupling, said rotatable coupling having a housing containing a bone dry annular bearing mounted therein.
The first and second oxygen supply tubes are connected together through said coupling housing, permitting free rotation between the first tube and the second tube, preventing twisting of the oxygen supply conduit.
The first end of the first supply tube is connected to a continuous source of pure oxygen required by a patient. The second end of the first supply tube and the first end of the second supply are connected to the rotatable coupling. A second end of the second supply tube is connected to a nasal cannula that supplies oxygen continuously to the patient. The cannula includes some type of device for mounting the nasal cannula securely to the head of the patient.
The oxygen supply conduit can be tube sections of various lengths joined together such that a patient may walk about at home or in a hospital room while still connected to the oxygen supply tank without the supply system being occluded. Each section of oxygen supply conduit is sealably connected and rotatably connected to the adjacent tube sections by at least one rotatable coupling.
Regardless of the relative movement of the supply tube sections caused by the patient, instead of pinching or occluding, the very flexible tubes that supply the oxygen under pressure (normally a few pounds above atmospheric pressure) will rotate about the rotatable coupling rather than twist and fold, which could shut off the oxygen supply.
Using the present invention, one or more rotatable couplings having the bone dry annular ball or barrel or roller bearings provide for bidirectional rotation of individual tube sections, depending on the particular length of the total oxygen supply conduit being used by the patient.
Each oxygen tube section can be constructed of a conventional plastic lumen tubing that is currently being used in hospitals. An example is Baxter product disposable oxygen smooth bore lumen tubing.
Around the inside surface of the connecting end of each oxygen supply tube section, an annular sealing groove is provided that locks the end of each supply tube section to each side of the rotatable coupling. The plastic housing of the rotatable coupling includes an inner cylindrical chamber that receives the outside race of the annular bearing which fits snugly inside and against the cylindrical wall of the cylindrical chamber of the rotatable coupling housing. The rotatable coupling includes an oxygen outlet conduit at one end that has an annular flange that engages and attaches sealably to one end of the oxygen supply tube segment. An intermediate rigid conduit segment is mounted snugly within and passes through inner race of the annular bearing. One end of the intermediate conduit segment has a flared truncated conical end that acts in rotatable contact with the inside of the rotatable coupling housing to prevent or reduce oxygen escape from the supply line. The intermediate conduit also includes; an annular barrier that helps lock the annular bearing in place within the rotatable housing and seal the rotatable housing from oxygen leakage. The intermediate conduit segment also includes a flared tapered flange at its opposite end that allows it to be sealably locked to another end of the oxygen supply tube.
The annular bearing could be a conventional non-lubricated roller bearing or ball bearing that includes an inter race and an outer race, side walls on each side, and is essentially free of any lubricant that might interact with oxygen in a deleterious manner. The side walls are held in place by a lip on the outer race and the inner race and help prevent oxygen leakage.
The inner cylindrical chamber in the rotatable coupling housing includes a recessed portion so that the annular bearing fits sealably and snugly in place and cannot be retracted from the coupling housing. Thus, the annular bearing is locked within the rotatable coupling housing and the intermediate conduit segment with its annular barrier is locked in place with the inner race of the annular bearing. The intermediate conduit segment is also firmly and sealably connected to one end of one oxygen supply tube. One supply tube section connected to the intermediate conduit segment and the inter race of the annular bearing all can rotate relative to the rotatable coupling housing and the outer race of the annular bearing.
One end of the intermediate conduit segment which has a tapered flange at the end physically abuts the outlet passage of the rotatable coupling housing in such a manner that it rotates relative thereto at the same time preventing any significant leakage of oxygen under pressure that is transferred through one oxygen tube relative to the other oxygen supply tube. However, the entire unit renders complete relative motion between the two oxygen supply tubes that are joined together by the rotatable coupling.
To utilize the invention, a complete extended oxygen supply conduit can be formed of any desired length that reaches from the origin of the oxygen supply such as a tank or wall outlet to the cannula attached thereto by using a plurality of oxygen supply tube sections of desired lengths and one or more rotatable couplings sealably connecting the tube sections together. When the oxygen supply is turned on from an oxygen supply tank above atmospheric pressure, the rotatable coupling and the therein will be sealed by a few pounds psi oxygen pressure above atmospheric by the action of the tubing to prevent the escape of oxygen through the rotatable coupling. Thus, a steady supply of oxygen is presented throughout the entire supply system while at the same time the oxygen supply tube cannot be twisted regardless of the movement of the patient which would normally cause occlusion.
The bearing which is used in the present invention is donut shaped and typically includes stainless steel inner and outer races and a plurality of metal or rigid plastic ball bearings or barrel type roller bearings mounted rotatably between the inner and outer annular bearing races and flat plastic side walls to loosely seal the bearings. This swivel system uses stainless steel, plastic bearings with no lubricants to contaminate the oxygen supply type to insure purity of the patient's oxygen supply.
It is an object of this invention to provide improved oxygen supply tubing for a patient nasal cannula that will not pinch or occlude.
It is another object of this invention to permit great mobility by the patient that is connected to an oxygen supply without danger of pinching or shutting off the oxygen supply by providing an oxygen supply conduit that is occlusion resistant.
And yet another object of this invention is to provide oxygen supply conduit that has tubular sections that are rotatable relative to each other and are joined together by a non-complex, inexpensive coupling that is sealable to prevent the escape of oxygen when under pressure.
In accordance with these and other objects which will become apparent hereinafter, the instant invention will now be described with particular reference to the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of an oxygen supply conduit and a nasal cannula, partially exploded, including a rotatable coupling.
FIG. 2 shows the invention shown in FIG. 1 in perspective.
FIG. 3 shows a side elevational view in cross section, exploded, of the rotatable coupling used in the present invention.
Referring now to the drawings, and in particular FIG. 1, the present invention is shown generally at 10 comprised of a first oxygen supply tube section 12 connected to a joint cannula connector 14 that has two independent oxygen supply tubes 16 and 18, all of which connect into the nasal cannula 20 that has two independent oxygen supply tubes 22 which are typically inserted into the nostrils of the patient.
An oxygen supply tank (not shown) is connected to a rotatable coupling 26 through an oxygen flexible lumen supply tube section 28 shown connected to rotatable coupling 26 through rigid conduit 24.
The purpose of rotatable coupling 26 is to allow rotation between oxygen supply tube section 28 and oxygen supply tube section 12. By virtue of the rotatable coupling, including a rotatable bearing 30 mounted inside rotatable coupling 26 housing 26c, the oxygen flexible supply tube section 28 can be physically rotated in either direction relative to flexible oxygen supply tube section 12. The purpose of this independent rotation, which allows each oxygen tube section to rotate relative to each other, is to prevent any type of twisting, which can be initiated by the movement of the patient walking around with the oxygen supply connected to the cannula attached to the patient.
Flexible tube section 28 contains an annular, specially shaped groove 28a (FIG. 3) near the end of the tube 28 which allows it to be sealably connected to a rigid conduit 24 that is connected to one end of flexible tube section 28 and sealably into the bearing inner race 30b interior passage. The outside of the rotatable coupling 26 is formed of a rigid plastic or metal housing 26c that is unitarily connected to a rigid oxygen conduit 26a and includes an annular flange 26d that allows for a sealable connection between the rotatable coupling 26 and the end of flexible tube section 12.
Referring to FIG. 3, the rotatable coupling 26 includes a rigid oxygen receiving conduit 26a that is in fluid communication with a cylindrical chamber 26b inside the housing 26c. A rotatable annular bearing 30 includes ball bearings 34, a plurality of which are annularly mounted between an outer race 30a which is a cylindrical or annular ring made of a thin, stainless steel metal having a groove for the ball bearings 34, and an inner stainless steel annular race 30b, all of which makes up the entire bearing. The bearing 30 disclosed shows ball bearings 34 (FIG. 3) (that could be barrel type cylindrical roller bearings) and is made without a lubricant so the entire bearing structure is dry. The outer diameter of the outer race 30a is sized to fit snugly and be held in place inside the recessed portion 26d of cylindrical chamber 26b, whose inside diameter is substantially the same as the outside diameter of outer race 30a so that the bearing, once inserted, will stay firmly in place. The inside diameter of inside race 30b is sized to be approximately the outside diameter of conduit 24 so that conduit 24 fits snugly inside bearing 30.
A rigid plastic conduit 24 allows oxygen to flow therethrough, completing the oxygen supply passage through the rotatable coupling 26 as follows. The cylindrical portion of conduit 24 between an annular flange 24b and the end of tube 28 acts as the support for the inner race of bearing 30 and is mounted therethrough. The bearing 30 is held in place inside of housing 26 as described above. Thus, the bearing 30 holds the conduit 24 in place. A conical portion 46 helps stop oxygen from escaping at the junction of the inside surface of housing chamber 26 and flange 24a. A second, tapered, conical flange 24c near the end of conduit 24 fits snugly in a shaped groove 28a in the flexible tube section 28 that prevents disengagement between the conduit 24 and the flexible oxygen supply tube section 28 and at the same time forming a seal between the end of tube section 28 and the end of conduit 24.
The opposite end of rotatable coupling housing 26 includes a rigid conduit 26A whose outside diameter fits snugly inside of flexible tube section. 12 Tube 12 has a groove 12A near its end to fit snugly and sealably against a conical flange 26E mounted at the end of the housing conduit 26a.
FIGS. 1 and 2 show the conduit 24 in an exploded view relative to the rotatable coupling 26. Once conduit 24 is firmly and sealably in place inside of bearing 30, the rotatable coupling will not leak oxygen when oxygen under pressure is received through supply tube section 28 from an oxygen source under pressure (2 or 3 pounds psi above atmospheric) as the oxygen flows through the rotatable coupling into conduit 26a and then into supply tube section 12.
The rotatable coupling 26 allows rotation between the outer bearing race 30a and inner bearing race 30b, thus allowing free rotational movement of supply tube section 28 relative to supply tube section 12. By permitting relative rotational movement, twisting the supply tube section 12 or the supply tube section 28 will not pinch or cause stoppage or occlusion of oxygen flowing through the system to the cannula 20. Thus, the patient can freely move about without fear or danger of twisting the flexible tubing in such a way that would cut off the oxygen supply.
In a typical application as shown in FIG. 2, oxygen can be supplied from a tank or wall connection leading to a tank that is connected directly to an oxygen supply tube 28. In this embodiment, only one rotatable coupling 26 is used. For longer embodiments of the invention, additional rotatable couplings 26 can be used along various length tube sections 12 or 28 of the oxygen conduit.
The rotatable coupling 26 includes a dry bearing and material such as stainless steel or even a plastic that will not chemically interact with pure oxygen flowing through the system to insure that the oxygen supplied to the patient is pure.
The ball bearing 30 includes a pair of disc-shaped ball bearing retainers 40 which isolate the ball bearings 34 from outside the bearings and act as supports between the inner and outer races 30a and 30b, forming a unit bearing where the ball bearings are shielded from the outside environment. The retainer 40 fits on each side of the bearings.
The instant invention has been shown and described herein in what is considered to be the most practical and preferred embodiment. It is recognized, however, that departures may be made therefrom within the scope of the invention and that obvious modifications will occur to a person skilled in the art.

An average of three to four times a day, local police get a similar call: A child is punching holes in the walls of the home and refuses to listen to parents, who are worried the child could hit them or a sibling, and they need help.
If parents are concerned they or their children could be hurt during an argument, they can call the police. Officers and deputies can take children to the juvenile detention center if they've damaged property or hit someone, but otherwise police will talk to parents and children until they calm down, Johnson County Sheriff Doug Cox said.
In the past four years, the sheriff's office and local police departments handled from 1,317 to 1,557 incidents a year involving children, ranging from a teen who wouldn't go to school to a child being verbally or physically abusive. Police also handled from 184 to 242 cases a year of runaway children and teens, according to Johnson County dispatch reports.
"It's become a really, really big problem where we're being called in sometimes to do parenting and other things," Cox said.
While officers and deputies can break up fights among parents and children, typically they can't follow up after that initial call. But they can refer families to local health care facilities, including Valle Vista Health System in Greenwood, and community groups, such as Youth Connections in Franklin, who can help parents trying to understand why their children are angry or fighting.
Both Valle Vista and Youth Connections have started providing counseling and mentoring for children as young as 5 as staff members are seeing younger children acting out or who need help. It's difficult to pinpoint exactly why younger children are dealing with anger, fear or other emotions that cause disruptions at home, but many times the children have parents who are divorcing, have witnessed domestic violence or experienced another form of trauma, Valle Vista director of clinical services Brian Bill said.
That's why both Valle Vista and Youth Connections have created programs to help children, preteens and teenagers learn more about the emotions they're experiencing so they can better control them.
"We try to provide some resources to give that youth some resiliency, to stay out of the juvenile justice system, and also to try to help the parent make some good decisions," Youth Connections executive director Tom Bingham said.
Recently, more parents of children 5 to 11 have needed help managing kids who are acting out after experiencing some sort of trauma, ranging from divorce to domestic violence, Valle Vista director of clinical services Brian Bill said.
"Those kids just can't handle that," Bill said. "Their brains can't handle that level of trauma."
In January, Valle Vista opened an inpatient treatment facility for patients 5 to 18. He said Valle Vista opened the facility out of a concern that other programs in Indianapolis might close, and right now 14 of the health system's 24 inpatient beds are full.
Children typically spend three to five days in inpatient treatment, where they're monitored 24 hours a day. The goal is to help children, especially those who have been traumatized, feel safe. Bill said they then can be transferred to an outpatient counseling program, which can last from nine months to a year, and deal with whatever is bothering them.
Parents who bring their kids to Valle Vista often feel guilty that they don't know what's wrong or can't help their child. Part of the health system's program is to educate parents, so they better understand what their children are going through and can better manage it, Bill said.
"A lot of it is about teaching the families about what's healthy and what's unhealthy, getting away from the right and wrong approach and wagging your finger," he said.
Youth Connections, which is funded by the state and is free to families, also has a program to offer relief to families who need some time to cool off after a heated argument or fight.
The organization has 11 host homes in Johnson and Morgan counties where children 7 to 17 can stay for up to three weeks. Bingham said host homes are volunteer families or individuals willing to give youngsters a safe, temporary place to stay.
Sometimes the host homes are used for children or teens who can't return to their families and are trying to connect with other resources, such as foster care. Other times a child might stay at a host home for a night or two after a fight with a parent so that both sides have a chance to calm down, Bingham said.
Sometimes parents and children who are having problems getting along or who are fighting too much need a few days apart, and the host homes give families that option. Youth Connections also has a mentoring program at Franklin and Greenwood schools meant to ensure children and teens who aren't getting along at home or who are sorting through feelings of anger or sadness don't get into trouble after school, Bingham said.
Last year, 53 Greenwood and Franklin students were a part of the mentoring program. For elementary students, the program teaches students how to start managing their emotions, such as how to express what they're feeling when they're sad or angry without shouting and how to identify when they need to apologize. Older students hear more about the benefits of school, why it's important to graduate and how earning a high school diploma will help them get a better job, Bingham said.

Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.
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.
Loan tags help lenders find loans that match certain areas of interest. You can add up to 5 tags for this loan.

Rasheedan has applied for a loan from Kiva's partner, Asasah, for her husband's business. With this loan, her husband will buy stamp papers in larger quantity for reselling. She is hopeful that her husband will get a good outcome from this loan investment and his income will improve.
Rasheedan is a regular loan user of Asasah and this is her third loan application. In previous loan years, she has paid her installments on time and never missed a meeting. In the photo, the lady who is raising her hand is Rasheedan.
