Sawe Rahayu Indah Group
Update on Sawe Rahayu Indah GroupTo continue her plan, Ni Komang needs to borrow a new loan. This loan will be used to purchase feed for the piglets that will be born soon and also to renovate the barn. She can't wait to see the sow give birth to the piglets. Ni Komang hopes the sow continues to be healthy and that she can give birth safely. She plans to sell the piglets after keeping them for two months. To reduce the cost of feed, she will give them a mixed feed. With support from the vet and the loan officer, she is optimistic that the business will succeed.
Previous Loan DetailsAlthough the group earned good profits in the last loan, they still need a new loan for their business because they have a strong will to become a successful pigs business. The loan will be used to improve their businesses by buying superior piglets or a sow. Ni Komang, is using the loan to bu... More from Sawe Rahayu Indah Group's previous loan »
Additional Information
More information about this loan
This loan is part of MUK's effort to reach small business owners in rural areas of Bali in Indonesia. Borrowers often lack collateral to be eligible for working capital loans and are located in areas where access to microfinance is limited. MUK organizes borrowers into groups that cross guarantee one another, allowing them to qualify for a loan. By funding this loan you are providing underserved borrowers with crucial capital to sustain their existing businesses.
About Koperasi Mitra Usaha Kecil (MUK)This loan is serviced by Koperasi Mitra Usaha Kecil (MUK), a microfinance cooperative headquartered in West Bali, Indonesia. MUK's mission is to provide chronically poor people in Bali with opportunities to improve their lives, while raising social awareness of economic and environmental issues.
Most MUK clients live in rural settings on less than $1.25 per day. MUK's financial products are targeted to clients' productive activities including small businesses, farming, and livestock rearing. MUK supports clients with training in household budgeting, livestock rearing, and small business management.
MUK provides services to clients of all races and religions. For more information about MUK, please visit its partner page. Also, consider joining MUK's Kiva lending team, Friends of Mitra Usaha Kecil.
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.

Photo from previous loan
Kiva allows our Field Partners to re-use the same photo for individual borrowers that have been posted on Kiva's website once before in a 24 month period, and we allow them to re-use group photos for up to 24 months, provided that 80% of the current group's membership is represented.
Taking, collecting, and uploading photos of borrowers is one of the most challenging elements of using Kiva for our Field Partners. In order to make Kiva easier for Field Partners to use, we have allowed them to post successive and concurrent loans without taking a new photo of the borrower if the criteria above are met.

When Richard Muller launched the Berkeley Earth Surface Temperature study (BEST) to "independently" evaluate once and for all if global warming was happening or not, many of us followers of climate science were a bit irritated. Why? THIS HAS BEEN CONFIRMED repeatedly. Nearly every overarching scientific body and organization connected with the matter has backed up the clear findings, because it is not just 1 or 2 things telling us the world is warming -- about a dozen long-researched factors show us very clearly that the world is warming due to human greenhouse gas emissions. The BEST study was partially funded by some of the biggest global warming deniers on the planet. Richard Muller was widely known for completely misquoting and misrepresenting both climate scientists and Al Gore on this matter. Well, even despite the potential bias and flaws, the now-released results of the BEST study reiterate (for the umpteenth time) global warming is happening. The results are nearly identical to the results of so many climate scientists and overarching scientific bodies before it that this really would not be news in a sane world. From the BEST study

There are a lot of good videos out there on global warming and climate change, and solutions to them. Sometimes, though, I have a hard time finding the one I'm looking for. So, I thought I'd create a piece with all the best global warming and climate change videos I know of (and I'll add to it as new ones are created)

Well, it doesn't come as a huge surprise to see this statement from NASA's James Hansen, perhaps the top climate scientist in the world. But it's a statement we seem to keep ignoring. Here's the statement I'm referring to: "Climate change — human-made global warming — is happening. It is already having noticeable impacts…. If we stay on with business as usual, the southern U.S. will become almost uninhabitable."

The LA Times and Washington Post aren't the only major media outlets that are starting to tear into the Republican party and other global warming deniers for their absolute rejection of science. USA Today, which I think has really turned things around in recent years and has some of the best climate change coverage of any major newspaper company, had an excellent editorial on the matter recently, one that compares climate science deniers to "birthers" (the folks who didn't and maybe still don't believe that Obama was born in the United States)

Is there a way in Ubuntu to set a really long picture as wallpaper so each workspace would have different part of the image? I.e. the image would start on workspace 1 and continue to workspace 2, 3, 4?
I know I can split the image to parts and use wallpapoz to set different parts to different workspaces, but wallpapoz is discontinued and frankly I'd prefer use something that works out of the box, without image editing.

How to Create a Quick Rockabilly Song
This article will explain how to create an instant Rockabilly song without too much effort on your part. This works best if you have a Rockabilly Band Trio or Quartet. But you can also do this by yourself if you play Rhythm or Lead Guitar.
This article has been tagged as a stub.
That means it's off to a good start, but still has room to grow into a more helpful resource. Until the article reaches its full potential, it will be hidden from search results. Can you help it flourish? If you think the article offers complete and accurate instructions, feel free to remove this tag.
1Find an old Blues or Country song and get the lyrics. Some good blues choices include John Lee Hooker, B.B. King, Muddy Waters, Elmore James, etc. Do a bit of research and find a song you like. It has to be old (pre 1960's) or it just won't work out right.
2Take the lyrics, note the verses and refrains and instrumental solos.
3Create your backbeat with drums and/or slap bass. Change the tempo from the original song. Faster works best, but slower can work, too.
4Add in chord progressions for the Rhythm Guitar. Experiment and find what sounds good. As a start, try an E-A-D, E-A-B7 or C-F-G progression.
5For lead guitar, experiment with randomly placed riffs during the verses.
6The older song will most likely have another instrument playing during the solo, such as saxophone or piano. Here is where the lead guitar solo comes in. You can emulate the old song's solo, or recreate it as your own.
7Sing the song using the style of singing Rockabilly is known for. Listen to Rockabilly music to get an idea of it.
8For the refrains, try out having your whole band sing it, or the old Blues' style of "Call & Response".
9Have fun with it!
10Meet people!
Community Q&A
Ask a Question
- This is meant only as a guideline, the main point is to play with it and have fun! Experiment, change it up and jam!
- The song you are using will most likely be copyright, so this is meant only for fun. If you plan on doing this while making a record, then make sure all of the legal issues are covered!
Things You'll Need
- A Rockabilly trio (Lead Guitar, Rhythm Guitar & Upright Bass) or Quartet (Lead Guitar, Rhythm Guitar, Upright Bass & Drums).
- An Old Blues or Country Song (pre-1960).
- Somewhere to practice.
- Creativity.

Has anyone seen this movie yet? From the time I saw the preview at Transformers I thought it was going to be an awesome movie, but now I am scared it will not be that good.
Let me see some reviews, just no spoilers!
Talked to someone who went to the early showing at Michigan State. She said that it was ok, but not worth all the hype. She said that there wasn't much closure to the storyline.

from what i have heard, it is filmed in a Blair Witch type first person. I really wanted to go, but not sure i am in the mood for the whole shakey camera thing.
One of the morning radio show personalities down here (who is a sci-fi buff) saw an early-showing, and she was drooling all over it yesterday morning.

I believed in Gene Chizik and all I got was this lousy limited-edition commemorative coin.
Hope to see it sometime this weekend. I've been hyped for this movie ever since the Transformers trailer, and most of the reviews have been positive. If you're willing to suspend your disbelief for a couple of hours, you're bound to enjoy it.
Go Sssssssssyclones!
I haven't seen it but here are some things I've heard:
Is is shot from 1st person perspective like Blair Witch. I can't handle that in a theater. Maybe on DVD with lots of breaks.
Also, while it is known to be a Monster movie, it isn't a movie about the monster. It is a movie about how a group of friends react to the monster attack on their city.
ISU Grad 1997.
ISU Fan for Life.
Not in CO anymore but I'm not changing my name :)
Just got back from the showing. Aside from the gigantic group of junior high kids that came strolling into the theater (and would NOT shut UP during movie!! )... it was an amazing experience. It's just simply not the same movie if you wait for this one to come on DVD.
What makes it so effective is the first person view of everything going on. You simply wouldn't feel the same way watching the movie if it were your standard Hollywood fare with a fixed camera. It's the first movie I've sat through trembling and sick to my stomach -- not because the motion was getting to me, but because I allowed myself to get sucked in and make myself feel like I'm actually there running for my life.
The movie was actually a bit funnier than I expected -- most of it coming from the guy holding the camera trying to break the tension and makes several clever quips out of nerves. It was nice to see that rather than the only dialogue being "Oh my God! What was that!? Run away! Did we escape? AHH MY FACE".
That said, there were some truly terrifying moments (and none of them I can give away without spoiling something). I was worried you'd only see the monster once, but you really do get some good glimpses of it throughout the movie... and it's nothing like Godzilla. Kind of hard to describe it, you'll just have to see it for yourself.
I was also surprised at how short the run time was. (I went to the 7:10 showing, and we were out by 8:40, and that's including the seven-something trailers before the movie.) This is a good thing, because just when you're feeling like the movie has run it course, it comes to an end, even if it is a bit abrupt. Hopefully when this one comes out on DVD, there's some extras that include news reports that explore a bit of what the creature was, where it came from, etc.
So, to sum it up... see this film!
Maybe the hard drive camcorder only had 90 minutes battery llife.
Let Prohm's Posse Ride: Hallice, Brady, Stu, Lard, Naz, Deonte, Monte, Matt, Simeon, Jordan, and Babb.
I just got back. It was... interesting. I am not really sure how to explain what the heck the monster was. I would have liked to know more about the monster but I think the movie was more of an experience than it was a movie. It was pretty short but I felt it was the right length because i was getting a little sick from all of the motion. The experience of it in the theater would be totally different than if you were at home watching it on a tv. You just wouldn't get the "true effect" without being surrounded by it. The theater I went to had such a loud sound system that when the monster came around the ground shook.

Last week GamePolitics reported that some Nebraska librarians were under investigation by State Auditor Mike Foley (R) for – horrors! – purchasing a PlayStation 2 and Rock Band set for use in the library.
Foley's final report on Nebraska's library system is now out, including his findings on the video game issue:
[Library] Commission employees have occasionally provided their own personal game consoles for trainings and demonstrations…
GP: Now that's dedication, a quality that government bureaucracy is so good at beating out of its employees. No good deed, as they say, goes unpunished.
The purchase of gaming equipment is a questionable use of public funds. It is common
knowledge that children enjoy games and toys, so there appears to have been little need to
purchase the games.
GP: Wait – kids like games, so the library shouldn't buy them? Does that mean they should expend their budget on things that people don't like? WTH?
Moreover, none of the games purchased were so complicated or out of the ordinary as to require the Commission to demonstrate their use to library staff and others…
GP: Because absolutely everyone who walks into a Nebraska library – including older librarians – has an innate sense of how to set up and play Rock Band or Dance Dance Revolution? Thankfully, the Library Commission defended it employees against the Foley-crats:
Gaming equipment and games have become increasingly popular and in demand resources for library programming and service. The Library Commission purchased game equipment in response to requests from Nebraska librarians for demonstration and instruction. The Library Commission's actions in acquiring gaming equipment and a few representative games are proper and in accord with the agency's state statutory mission and its purposes in introducing new technologies, techniques and providing information and instruction in the use of these technologies.
GP: Bureaucracy… Grrrr…

UPDATE: Cornfed Gamer has a terrific report on the situation with lots of additional details.

Personal time versus social media time: Something has to give
Aug 8th
The thing I love to do more than anything is connect with social media friends in real life and when I'm in New York City, I always try to catch up with the brilliant Elizabeth Sosnow, one of the partners at Bliss Integrated Communications.
Not only is Elizabeth an inspiring business leader, she is incredibly insightful and I always walk away with at least five blog post ideas from our conversations (including this one!).
But this conversation took an unexpected turn.
Elizabeth and I owe our personal relationship to Twitter and blogging (both hers and mine). This is how we met. this how we became friends, and it is how we continue to be connected over time and distance. Even though we may be separated by a thousand miles, I always feel connected to Elizabeth and my other friends around the world through their drip, drip, drip of communications on the social networks.
But Elizabeth's posts have more or less dried up in the past few months.
"Business has been very good," she said, "and something had to give. This is it."
In 2009, we were just entering the grip of the recession. At the same time, we were seeing the explosive growth of blogging, Facebook, and YouTube. Twitter was still a young buck but began its rise that summer.
I wrote a blog post at the time wondering if the recession and the rise of social media were related. After all, the economics of social media depend on people wasting huge amounts of time watching videos, playing games, and posting photos. With the unemployment level climbing at that time, people had more time to waste on these activities.
The corollary is that as the economy improves, time on social networks should go down as well. When I wrote a blog predicting that an economic recovery would also mean a decline in social media usage, people howled in protest.
But I think I was right. Elizabeth's story is a common one — as business picks up, our incidental time available for social web activities goes down.
What do you think? Am I right? Or are there other forces in place that will fuel social media growth? How is this showing up in your life?
Teens increasingly moving the conversation to Twitter
Aug 6th
For some time, I've been hearing that younger people are moving away from Facebook and congregating on Twitter for two reasons:
1) Mom probably isn't on Twitter.
2) It's a great place to follow favorite celebrities
Although there isn't a lot of data to answer the "why," new research from the Pew Internet & American Life Project confirms that Twitter is indeed experiencing a youth movement. But there is something more interesting here too …
While the number of teens on Twitter has more than doubled since late 2010, isn't interesting to see that 5% dip between last August and December of 2012?
While the margin of error could contribute to that aberration, this implies that there is a probability that 17 percent of all teens using Twitter stopped using the service within a six-month period in 2012. That's kind of mind-boggling, especially since there is no commensurate drop in the usage across other demographics to point to some issue that would affect everyone.
Any idea what could have happened last year?

Is Google Glass the future, or does it just make you look like a dork?
Aug 6th
Can you imagine anything that would inspire marketing creativity more than a device that allows you to view the Internet all the time, everywhere … like a digital layer across the world?
That certainly seems to be the promise of Google Glass, perhaps the boldest step forward in the trend of "wearable technology." In my mind, this will be a transformational opportunity for, well … everything! Education. Connection. Discovery. Entertainment. Business.
But my wise friend and podcast co-host Tom Webster is not so sure. In the latest edition of The Marketing Companion, Tom and I debate a wide range of topics surrounding this exciting, and to some folks, disturbing, technology. Some of the topics we tackle include:
- A lesson in how NOT to become a meme like Robert Scoble
- Is Google Glass a win for wearable technology or the next Segway?
- Do the "eyes" have it, or does wearable technology belong some place else?
- What business problems does Google Glass really solve?
- A can of worms for privacy, or just another Kodak moment?
- Does "cool" trump "dork?"
- The Devil's bargain with privacy.
- A practical view from Jamie the bartender.
- The porn indicator, and Google's interesting new investment

I'm Loke, and I love bikes!
I built my first road bike when I was 17, road it for 7 years until it was finally stolen - unfortunately, that's par for the course in Chicago. My brother than gave me his Schwinn LeTour, which was stolen after 2 years of riding. From then on out it was Cheap Thrift-store bikes that nobody wanted - including a 1936 "Armstrong" that I found at a Salvation Army for $20. Than one day I decided I wanted to go fast again - I found a 1986 Bianchi on Ebay for $90! Now my ride to work is only 30 minutes and I'm loving it!
This forum is exactly what I've been looking for. A bunch of people who love their bikes as much as biking. Glad to be here!

Hey, I'm Anna!
I am Italian and I have been living in Palma de Mallorca since 2002. I lived in Italy, Germany, Uk and I travelled across the 5 continents...then I discovered Mallorca and I fall in love with this wonderful island! I am easygoing, open minded and enthusiastic kind of person. I love travelling, meeting new people, volunteering, reading, scubadiving, languages...having fun and enjoying simple things of life.
I used to work in banking. In 2010 I left, because I didn't want to get involved with such dodgy business anymore. I went travelling for 18 months and I am now back on the island. I am studying ayurveda and renting rooms allows me to stay away from banking and look for an alternative and sustainable way of living that makes me feel good with what I do. If you stay at my place, you are helping me on this project!
I rent another cheaper room in the same flat https://www.airbnb.es/rooms/164364
Thanks in advance!

I have never seen such a steepy, fast, decline in anywhere. But I am sure such steepy decline must triger a fast bounce anytime soon.
post '87 trend reaches 8,000 today, plus that's where the tech lows are charted it out distressedvolatility.blogspot
ANother example:October 15 - 19, 1987, Dow dropped 26% in two sessions.
I found another one:Look at the Nasdaq Composite in 2000on 3/20/2000 Nasdaq was about 5000on 4/10/2000 it had lost 33% down to 3321in the next 3 months it bounced 27% to 4246
In 1932 the DOW dropped 50% in 4 months.This drop is about 26% in one month. (so far) I agree we're due for a bounce, and when it comes it will be violent. But from what level will it come?
Well, the DOW was at 13200 or close in late April, so here we are almost 6 months later with a loss of about 500 points away from losing 40%. I am still not sure why Cox won't instill the uptick rule again. How much of this is due to the fact that shorts jump in and drive it down with selling. It is something to be said that these big down days have not occurred until the uptick rule was removed. I wonder how much he got paid to "observe" the rule in the bull market.

OMEGA and GFW
As many of you already know, Jeff Jarrett has been building up working relationships with wrestling promotions from around the world. His latest partnership might come in the form of OMEGA, the promotion that is owned and operated by Matt Hardy and Jeff Hardy. Jarrett allowed two of their performers to work a championship match at a GFW live event.
August 16, 2015
Jeff Hardy to GFW
When it comes to name value, Jeff Jarrett understands wholeheartedly how much that means to the professional wrestling business. The former world heavyweight champion has signed on Jeff Hardy to make an appearance at a live event that he is promoting in North Carolina. That alone should draw in a couple of more people than normal.
August 3, 2015
Jeff Hardy returning to TNA
A post on Twitter where Dixie Carter reveals when Jeff Hardy is going to be making his return to TNA after suffering a serious injury during a dirt bike accident. The former world heavyweight champion is being heavily promoted for a live event that is being held in Pennsylvania.
June 10, 2015
Helms running OMEGA
While they certainly do not have plans on rushing things, it appears that OMEGA is in good hands and is looking to expand as a promotion. Jeff Hardy revealed in an interview how excited he was to be working on a project that he and Matt Hardy started when they were just teenagers. He also alluded to the fact that Shane Helms is the guy that is running things behind the scenes. Their live events have been massively popular and successful.

Panasonic 7-14 for $888.00

You can use filters on the 7-14mm.
I rigged my own solution by ordering a third party replacement lens cap that fits the outer diameter of the 7-14, then cutting out the inside of the cap to leave just a friction fitting "ring". This ring will then fit inside of a Cokin filter holder, allowing you to slip on the filter holder to the 7-14mm when needed. Cheap and easy filter holder for grads.

You know how there are some books that, when you pick them up, you're pretty sure you're only going to read a few pages and then release it back into the wild or to its 2,000 library holds? And then you discover that it is, in fact, one of the best reads ever, and you can't put it down, and you've been completely blindsided by this heretofore-unloved-by-you but now precious-work-of-genius book? No? That's just me?

When you fly over Koh Samui upon arrival you will see that it takes its place in a ribbon of islands including Koh Phangan ( home to the famous Full Moon parties!), the Anthong National Park and Koh Tao. Guests can enjoy a fabulous day trip to any of these islands for snorkeling, diving, kayaking, sightseeing and eating at local restaurants.
The climate is tropical, mostly 30 C, with gentle sea breezes. The rainy season is short and pre Christmas.
Samui itself is a small island where nothing is further that 30 mins away by jeep. You can go elephant trekking, take a jungle adventure or explore the many beautiful beaches around the island. Other popular sights include the Big Buddha, the Muslim fishing village, Grandfather/ Grandmother rocks, waterfalls and the many Watts (temples).
Nearby Nathon, capital of the island, is great for local shopping, markets, restaurants and bars. A visit to the Sunset bar, followed by sampling the food stalls at the ferry piers is a must. Chaweng is the most developed tourist beach on the island, a hotspot for night life, with shops, bars and restaurants of every description and price range. Closer to home we recommend Bophut Fisherman's village and Maenam for ATMS, shops, restaurants and bars.
For self caterers there is even a huge Tesco/Lotus near Chaweng with a multiplex cinema and Bowling Ally.
10 mins down the road is a truly world class 18 hole, 6000m golf course with a fabulous club house and views to die for. The restaurant is open to all.
Coconut River is a unique development. It is well named with soaring coconut palms giving some shade to the beautiful tropical garden which lies beneath the palms and embraces the eight houses of Coconut River and its sparkling swimming pool. The pool incorporates a Jacuzzi and a shallower section for those less confident in the water. Our guests love the pool, garden and sea views and often refer to it as a hidden treasure. Beautiful in sunlight, drenched by tropical rain or illuminated by house lights in the evening, Coconut River is a tranquil delight.
Bang Por beach, always visible from Bahn Nam Soey, is 3.5 Km long and remains essentially an unspoilt local beach. As you stroll along it or sunbathe you will be able to watch fishermen work the edge of the reef or see them catch squid at night with their lamps and spears. The beautiful Anthong National Park shimmers in the distance and Koh Phangan beckons across the bay. It is a very safe beach and can provide some absorbing snorkelling. You will find many local restaurants within easy walking distance where you can dine at the water's edge at very modest prices.
Don't forget to have a massage on the terrace!

Additional Information
Prisma Honduras, S.A.This loan is administered by Prisma Honduras. Prisma is one of Kiva's first field partners in Central America and has funded over 2,500 entrepreneurs through Kiva since 2008. Prisma funds smaller than average loans for micro-entrepreneurs to help them grow businesses in urban and rural areas. To improve living conditions in Honduras, the organization strives to empower women who lack access to traditional financial services, and promotes solar panels to deliver clean, affordable electricity to rural areas. Through its four branches in southern and central Honduras, Prisma provides access to financial products to some of the poorest and most isolated communities in the country.
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.

Plan to fix meters to measure waste water— By | Mar 02, 2012 12:00 am
Taking serious note of effluents released by industries, the govt has issued an order to treat water before it is released into the river
PRAMOD CHUNCHUWAR Mumbai
The state government which has warned to dismiss the C
ity Councils ( Nagar Parishad) for treating waste water before it got mixed with river, is now sitting idle over its order. Now the government is mulling over the idea of having a separate water meter to measure waste water in every industrial installation.
The state has 70 major rivers and except the Wardha river in Vidarbha, all others are highly polluted. The ecosystem of water bodies has totally collapsed. Taking serious note of the water pollution, untreated waste water from cities, government issued an order and made it mandatory for Municipal Councils to treat water before it was released into the river.
Councils were warned that they may be dismissed. But nothing happened. While admitting that no action was taken on any council, State Water Supply and Sanitation Minister Laxmanrao Dhoble said that he would follow- up the matter with Urban Development Department.
" If anyone uses 100 litres of water daily, 70 litres will be waste water. I think that as every household or establishment has meters to measure water intake, now there should be meters to measure the waste water they send to the river or other water bodies," Dhoble emphasised.
River cleaning plan
The Water Supply Department has chalked out a plan for cleaning up of rivers like Godavari, Manjara, Bheema. " It will be submitted to the cabinet soon," Dhoble told FPJ. But cost of this project is more than 5000 crore which means without major help from central government, state cannot implement this ambitious plan.

More information about this loan
This loan is part of National Microfinance Bank's education program, designed to finance school tuition for students whose families have low incomes or work in informal sectors of the economy. Funds can be used for partial or complete payment of expenses related to higher education. This loan is unique compared to other options on the market as NMB has introduced flexible interest rates, meaning the loan interest rate is lowered for students with good grades and students who are engaged in community service/voluntering activiites. Discounts are also offered to students with physical disabilities and to families who have other children also studying at the university level. By supporting this loan, you're enabling access to education for students with limited options.
About National Microfinance BankJordan is a small country located in the heart of the Middle East's Levant region. Regional instability has caused Jordan to be excluded from global investments for decades. Additionally, a lack of natural resources—including water and energy—places tremendous strain on the Jordanian economy, over 80% of which consists of small businesses, largely in the service industry. Despite their importance in the economy, many of these businesses are excluded from the banking sector because of their size. Microfinance institutions like National Microfinance Bank offer them an opportunity to enhance and expand their businesses. NMB also offers its services to other underprivileged peoples in Jordan, providing them with loans to pursue educational goals and improve their homes and livelihoods.
Loan tags help lenders find loans that match certain areas of interest. You can add up to 5 tags for this loan.

I just returned from the 2015 Knit & Crochet Show in San Diego where Lion Brand Yarn sponsored a lounge area. Knitters and crocheters could rest and chat in the lounge, and I filmed interviews for my Tea With Shira web series. It was a fun, heartwarming and inspiring three days where I got to meet a lot of my new online friends from all over the world. We also asked some attendees to participate in a hilarious game show, which you can see at the bottom of this post.
We showed our newest yarns and showcased our exclusive LB Collection® Yarn made up of Baby Alpaca, Silk, Superwash Merino and Cashmere to mention a few.
|LB Collection® Baby Alpaca (top) and Cashmere (bottom)
|LB Collection® Superwash Merino
|LB Collection® Silk
I know as a knitter/crocheter myself, I need to touch and feel yarns before I buy, so this was a perfect opportunity for people to get a taste of yarns that they might not see anywhere else.
I interviewed blogger Tamara Kelly, also known as "Moogly" and discovered the secret behind that wacky name. I interviewed longtime friend, Lily Chin — best known to you as the world's faster crocheter, but near and dear to my heart as the person who taught me how to tie my shoes when I was 5 years old. I also sat down with Margaret Hubert, who is so talented, and we shared a heartfelt moment on camera. Look for these interviews in weeks to come!
I also loved seeing people's creativity, and that they're using Lion Brand Yarn!
|Love the crochet creativity!
|Susan, part of the Crocheters of the Lakes Chapter and her shawl (the blue is Vanna's Glamour®!)
|Loved this sign!
On our last day, we ventured onto the Marketplace floor for a little trivia game. Winners got skeins from our LB Collection® and our new yarn Scarfie (who doesn't love free yarn!?) Check it out in the video below!
Posted in On The Road, Tea With Shira | Comments Off on Meeting Moogly, Lily Chin and You. . . and Hosting A Game Show At The Knit & Crochet Show Comments
The Knit and Crochet Show is a great conference that'll be taking place from July 22nd through July 25th. The show offers classes for learning and improving your skills, a marketplace for shopping, and many opportunities for meeting and chatting with other fellow crafters. Speaking of meeting and chatting with folks, you can come by the Tiki Pavilion Lounge (a public meeting space) within the resort, and the Lion Brand/Tea with Shira team will be present with tea, surprise goodies, and new yarns and garments for viewing!
Tea with Shira at the Tiki Pavilion Lounge:
Wednesday 7/22: 12-3pm
Thursday 7/23: 12-3pm
Friday 7/24: 10-12pm
We will have some lovely teas on hand thanks to the great folks at Harney and Sons, a family-owned and operated business that sells affordable, quality, fine tea. In fact, Shira sat town with Emeric Harnery, a 3rd generation family member and manager of the Harney & Sons shop in SoHo, New York City, for her 6th episode of Tea with Shira. Check it out here.
We look forward to seeing you!
*Please note we will not be selling yarns at the show*
Posted in On The Road, Tea With Shira | 1 Comment » Comments
When I was a little girl my dad said to me, "Shira, when you find a job you love, you will never work a day in your life." He really is a wise man. So, when I meet people and ask them what they do and they tell me they love what they do, I'm really taken by them. Last week I had the chance to meet a whole roomful of people who were passionate about what they do when I had the privilege to be a judge in a competition called Enactus.
Where Do You Find Hundreds Of People Passionate About What They Do In One Place?
Enactus is an organization that gives students at different colleges and universities a platform to present entrepreneurial ideas and business plans to better their community and empower others. It really is wonderful to see the ideas that these kids come up with. But they're not only ideas — they actually put them into action. You see how much effort and time they've put into creating business plans and making them come to life! You see their passion when they present. One group talked about how they raised money and started a relationship with a family in Cambodia to help them grow crops and teach them how to sell what they grew. The group traveled to Cambodia to help one farmer sell his crops and a help him develop a new watering system that they created especially for him. These students love what they do and are looking for that future job that they will be passionate about.
Judge-y Judge
It was not easy to judge this competition, and I have to admit I felt like Christina Aguilera on The Voice — their future was in my hands. Not really, but I for sure felt super important. It's not easy making decisions like that, deciding if different schools go through or not. But hearing out all the wonderful business plans, charity work and so much more that these students do, put my mind at ease, knowing our future is made up of people who are super passionate about what they want to do in life or at least what they are doing now and how they want to better the world!
Then off for some fun in Saint Louis.
I had a day to explore the Saint Louis area. I had never been to Saint Louis, MO. Beautiful City. I went to the Saint Louis Zoo! Did you know that the Zoo is free? Well it is and it's truly beautiful! I stopped at the famous Arch of St. Louis but chose not to go to the top because there was something a bit more pressing to see. On every trip I go on, wherever I am, I look for yarn. When I was little, when my dad went away he would bring back a snow globe from each place he went to, there began my snow globe collection. I even continued it as I got older. But now I look for yarn wherever I travel! I go into stores that sell Lion Brand to see how the selection looks and I go into small yarn shops as well.
What kind of traveler are you?
What have your best travel experiences been? Do you talk to the locals, see the famous landmarks or go off the beaten path? Do you make it a point to shop for yarn when you're away from home?
Can We Meet?
I'll be doing a lot more traveling this year and hope to meet many of you. I know we share a passion for knitting and crochet so we'll have a lot to talk about. Here's my schedule.
Appearance Schedule for 2015

|Dinner with friends, from left to right: Evan Blumenthal, Danielle Holke, Jack Blumenthal, Carla Horvath, Mary Colucci, Brandyce Pechillo, Tammy Hildebrand, Kimberly McAlindin.
The fond memories of last month's 2014 Crochet Guild of America (CGOA) conference and Knit & Crochet Show in Manchester, NH are still fresh in my mind. It was the 20th Anniversary of the CGOA and the Anniversary Celebration Committee planned a sensational event, chock-full of crochet pride.
Once I arrived at the hotel and saw the many crochet squares and yarnbombs decorating the courtyard and lobby, I knew it was going to be a great event.
As in years passed, I am always honored to be able to attend the CGOA Annual dinner and fashion show, an annual event that is always a crowd pleaser. This year it had 250 people in attendance!
I was blown away by the impressive talent of participating members; no surprise that plenty of door prizes and awards were given out.
The shopping floor was a flurry of activity, housing vendors from all over New England and beyond. It was also a great opportunity for me to catch up with all my friends in the knitting and crochet community. For instance, I was able to congratulate Gwen Blakely Kinsler in person on her induction to the CGOA Hall of Fame this year. Like a majority of crafters, she has tremendous love and passion for crocheting and the guild.
My college-aged son, who attended the conference with me for the first time, was quite impressed to see how many people I knew … and who knew me.
During the conference I attended my last in-person Board Meeting with the CGOA. It has been a great pleasure to have been a board member since 2011 and to have been able to participate in these meetings, but I know that I'm leaving the board in good hands.
To end on a brighter note: I took the opportunity to visit one of the mills that produces some of our yarn. I was able to see the process and production in which everything is made. Being able to see the very beginnings of a Lion Brand yarn and the attention to detail that is put into each skein makes me love being part of this family and company.
Posted in Lion Staff, On The Road | Comments Off on My Favorite Moments from the 2014 Crochet Guild of America Conference and Knit & Crochet Show Comments
In this post Lion Brand's Creative Director Adina Klein shares stories and behind-the-scenes photos from her recent visit to Vanna White's home near Los Angeles, CA. Joining her were Lion Brand's Production Coordinator Karlye Mayer and our lovely photographer Jack.
After twenty years, Vanna is definitely part of the Lion Brand family. Some of us have been to her home and she's been to ours. Most recently she attended the company barbecue at our New Jersey headquarters. Going to Vanna's house is more like visiting a friend than visiting a celebrity–well, maybe, except for the fact that her house is nicer than most of our friends' houses. And even though she has a beautiful home with spectacular views, there's something so down-to-earth about it–just like Vanna. Vanna even made us breakfast and let us into her closet to pick clothes for her for the shoot.
You'd think her closet would be filled with glamorous gowns, but it was actually filled with an assortment of jeans, slacks, sweaters and t-shirts! We hung out in her bedroom, playing with her cat, Stella, while she had her hair done. We walked around the house, while she got dressed, looking for great spots to photograph. In case you couldn't tell, we felt right at home. You'd never know she is one of the most well-known celebrities in the world!
One thing we love about Vanna is that she's always calm, always gracious, and always kind. It made it a lot easier for us to get great photos of her because she puts everyone at ease. Now that we're back home, we'll be editing the photos and finalizing the patterns for the beautiful afghans and garments we shot and soon you'll see the results of the day we spent with Vanna.

Everything for my big tour is coming together, I have my trusty new bike )riv Atlantis, and most of my gear (check out our sight www.ride4ror.com for more info) But I'm having some trouble deciding footwear. I'm torn between SPD sandals and light hikers, or a lake hiking/spd shoe and chacos (or cheap-o sandals).
One of my concerns with sandals is that they will not be as preferable for climbing. I'll be going over the Divide god knows how many times, and riding up over the cascades on the northern tier, and the mountains of the southwest so I don't want to loose to much performance. On the flip side, I'll be spending as much time as I can off the bike hiking peaks in Glacier, N Cascades, Joshua tree etc, and want a really good hiking shoe. So, once again, I turn to the masses here for an opinion.
Thanks Again,

My name is Lev Silberstein and I am a Senior at the University of Oregon with a Major in Political Science and a Minor in Business. I also intend on attending grad school after my Bachelors to get my Masters in accounting. I'm from Ashland, Oregon and am a brother of the Alpha Epsilon Pi Fraternity. I love to travel wherever and whenever I can. In March 2015, I went with Oregon Hillel to Guatemala to help build a school. It was an amazing experience.
I served as Oregon Hillel's 2014-2015 VP of Communications and I ran for Hillel board again so that I could continue to give back to the Jewish Community on campus and am looking forward to my time here along with the programs that my fellow board members and I are working hard to put together. We would like to see more student involvement this year and can't wait to work with you over the next year.
Oh hello! I didn't see you there! My name is Gabriel Ovetz and I am a Sophomore studying Advertising and Music. I'm from Seattle, Washington and my passions consist of Judaism, music, sports and art. In high school, I was fortunate enough to serve as both the Religious and Cultural Vice President and President of my NFTY-NW region. On top of that, I would frequently lead services at my temple and work on Sundays for religion school. When I'm not involving myself with Judaism, I am writing and producing music. Music is a huge part of my life and I aspire to work within the music industry as a professional. While I do love the Seahawks, Mariners and Sounders, I love making Hillel as great as it can be even more. I am very open to new and innovative ideas that push the boundaries of what we consider services and programs. If you have any ideas or comments, please feel free to contact me!

Hey, my name is Jake Monasch and I am a Sophomore here at the University of Oregon. I grew up in the amazing San Francisco Bay Area. Judaism has always been a huge part of my life and in high school I was very involved with BBYO. Through BBYO I went to Israel after my Sophomore year. In Fall 2014 I joined the Alpha Epsilon Pi fraternity. I love sports, video games and spending time with friends and family! I am beyond excited to begin serving as VP of Tzedek. I love Oregon Hillel and I plan on doing whatever I can to make sure others feel a part of the Jewish community on campus.
Hello friend, my name is Ben Stolberg and I am here to make fundraising a blast! I am a senior studying psychology, but really I just daydream about ways to help make all of the great student led programs and services that Hillel provides possible. In my spare time I enjoy sitting in sunlight, creating and consuming inappropriate amounts food, and calling Lev to see how he's doing. I was born in raised in Las Vegas, NV, but didn't step foot inside a casino until I came to Seven Feathers here in Oregon. Ultimate Frisbee is pretty cool and I also love McDonalds. Feel free to contact me anytime and we can meet to discuss ideas or call Lev to see how he's doing!
Hi! My name is Alex Ruby and I am a rising sophomore double-majoring in Journalism and Business. I'm from San Jose, California so I probably know someone in the tech industry. In high school I was involved in BBYO and in the Jewish Student Union on my campus. I love everything involving movies, TV, games, music, books, and comics. If you need any music recommendations I can make you a playlist! I want to make everyone feel at home at Hillel & in the community just as I did when I first came to the University of Oregon. I want to promote Hillel as place of community and engage students in exciting programs.
If you want to help out with Hillel's communications (including Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, etc) just email me! You can also follow Hillel on Twitter at @OregonHillel and me at @arubyrubrub!

text: Posted 29 Jan 2014 So how much does he actually line up at WR? I've seen some "experts" say he's lined up at WR over 60% of plays while I've seen some Saints fans say he's lined up at WR less than 20% of the time. To me Jimmy Graham is too much of a pu$$y to be called a TE thus he should get the WR franchise tag. Good thing Brees didn't get a franchise crippling contract or anything.

Nope. We're just getting better. We've gained more knowledge on the games to the point we pretty much know what to expect. It's gotten to the point where we've made hacks just to try to throw ourselves off guard.

THE DEVILERS #1 will be released on July 16, 2014.
The Good
Dynamite has braved into new territory by putting out the first, of hopefully many, creator driven series. DEVILERS, which is about a group of people with some extraordinary talents and abilities fighting off an invasion from the forces of Hell, is written by Joshua Fialkov and features art from Matt Triano.
Issue #1 of DEVILERS is extremely fast paced and puts the reader right into the action, breaking a bit a way from the traditional way to set up a new book in a new world. While this is part of the problem for the issue, the fact it's set up this way makes it that much more intriguing. As a writer, this is where Fialkov shines. He works well within chaotic stories by putting the reader into the action, and he has a way of making the reader feel at ease with jumping back and forth between the action and these characters meeting each other, all while the world is falling apart.
While the story can be summed up in one simple sentence, it's so much more complex than that and very engaging. Hell coming to Earth is something fans have seen plenty of times, but with DEVILERS, there's an underlying menacing feeling to it. Fialkov definitely hits the horror tone in this first issue while leaving the reader in quite a bit of suspense.
Triano does some solid art work within this first issue, but where he really shines is the beasts and monsters he creates throughout the issue. He also nails the horror element with these demons and his inking and shading throughout the issue. Without giving anything away, he really sets the whole tone for the book on pages two and three with a fantastic looking two page spread which screams "Hell on Earth."
The Bad
The first issue is a bit too chaotic. There's a lot of introductions to members of this team and the world they live in and the issue moves very fast. There's lots of concepts to grasp onto quickly and while that does add a bit to the feeling that something needs to be done quickly, it can get a little confusing, but upon a second reading, that all fades pretty quickly. While this may be in the "bad" section, it's also part of the charm of the book.
There's a few small problems with Triano's art in a couple of panels featuring close-ups of characters. There's a bit of distortion, but aside from that, not much else to critique.
The Verdict
DEVILERS surprised me. Normally, religious-based books don't interest me, but DEVILERS has a way of grabbing you and keeping you reading until the final page. This is a great start not only for this book but for Dynamite's creator driven series. Fialkov and Triano provide an entertaining and thrilling first issue which promises to be one Hell of a series, pun intended. This isn't just a book you'll want to pick up, it's one you'll want on your pull list. While there were some small problems with the issue, here and there, you'll want to make sure to pick this one up when it comes out.
Again, THE DEVILERS #1 will be released on July 16, 2014.
