Denim Review: J Brand Corporal Chino
Here is my first take on a review. I recently purchased the J Brand Corporal Pants in Black. I have to say that most men's styles don't really impress me, yet alone fit me. So when I found these I was highly impressed. I have fallen for the trouser look and am happy that I got these.
They are a slim trouser style that come in a variety of colors, but I chose the black wash (above). I got my usual size in the men's J Brand jeans (I had a pair of the Kanes). I have to say that these do run about a size larger compared to the Kanes. So If you do plan on getting, them do go down a size. I actually don't mind the bagginess though. They are still slim in a way so they don't look sloppy.
The fabric that is used is just superb. It comes in the softest twill that I have ever felt. I lived in them for a week after I got them. They were just that comfortable. I think the owners of these pants know exactly what I am talking about.
The wash was another thing that I was surprised that I would like. It is like a worn in charcoal/washed out black. It looks so natural and that it has a story behind it, even though they are brand new. It also fits right into my zero to no color closet. They are also very versatile. They can be casually worn with sneakers or for a quick errand run with sandals.
Overall, I would have to say that I am happy to have gotten these. Never would I have thought that I would ever buy a style from the men's section again and sure enough I did. I highly recommend these to anyone who hasn't tried them. You can click here to purchase these in a variety of washes ta JBrandJeans.
Denim Review: Ksubi Kolors Spray On Skinny in Aged Blue
This weeks review is on a pair of jeans I have wanted to own for a while! The Ksubi Kolors Spray On skinny jeans. I received the Aged Blue colour from the brand and I am really excited that I did! I originally loved the red or yellow but I think these are much more versatile and it's different reviewing a bright blue!
I am absolutely in love with the fit of these jeans, a few people have commented on how well they fit and I completely agree. They are like a jegging as they are really stretchy and comfortable but they fit like a jean as they are really flattering. I can see why they have the name spray on skinny jeans, they literally do fit like second skin and suck you in. But they do this without being uncomfortable which is perfect! The rise is a medium height and the inseam does have a good length to it, they give a slight bunching at the ankles which I like a lot when jeans are super skinny.
The colour of these is really fun too! I am obsessed with coloured jeans and I never really thought I would like bright blue that much over all of the other colours but I do, I like them a lot! They are so easy to wear and they don't stand out as much as a pair of yellow or red jeans would. The denim is amazingly soft too, it's silky and buttery to touch which is a nice feeling against the skin. This is the second time I have tried Ksubi, I owned a pair of red ankle zipper jeans from them about 4 years ago and I was always confused by their sizing, they went in actual inches instead of jeans sizes, I'm not sure if that's an Australian thing or not since the brand is from there but they have since changed that and now go in regular jeans sizes.
I took a 27 in these which is my normal jeans size and they fit me perfectly. I love the back pocket placement on these too, they are perfectly positioned and really flattering, they aren't too big or too small and they are a great shape. I also love the little details that come on Ksubi jeans, I always have, like the crosses/stars as the back patch and the little squares which are on the back of the thigh. They make the jeans so unique and different. These also came with the rat and logo stickers on the backs of the legs, as I think most of their jeans do. I love those too! I've seen some people keep these stuck on the jeans but I'm pretty sure you are supposed to take them off, ha ha.
These jeans have actually made me realise why I loved the brand all those years ago, they are so comfortable and just perfect! I am now planning on adding more Ksubi jeans to my collection when I can. I definitely need more! The Ksubi Kolors short film was something I liked a lot too, when it came out to promote the jeans, it was really intriguing! I think if you haven't tried the brand then it's one you should definitely try! They are one of the best coloured jeans I have tried so far! Buy these jeans online here for $199.95 or at Net-A-Porter for £135.

Denim Review: Hudson Nico Skinny Jeans in Chelsea
This weeks review is on a brand new cut from Hudson, the Nico skinny in Chelsea which I got sent to try by the brand. The Nico is Hudson's newest jean and it's their skinniest 5 pocket yet. It was inspired by Nico, the famed singer and Warhol muse and has a 60's chic style.
The fit of these jeans is absolutely perfect! I wasn't expecting them to be so comfortable either. Usually I find normal jeans to be a bit stiff when worn so tight but these feel so soft, just like jeggings. I could happily wear these all day and be comfortable. The Nico has a 10″ leg opening and a 30″ inseam so they are super skinny and perfect for hitting at the ankle or bunching just a little bit like they do on me. They also have a higher rise of 9″ which is something I am not used to and don't usually find very flattering on me but these some how work. I think because they kept the pocket placement normal and didn't make them higher like they are on most higher rise jeans, they are still flattering. Plus the rise gives you a better silhouette as you don't get muffin top with it or builders butt! I took a 27 in these which is my usual Hudson size and they fit perfectly.
They are made from refined tencel denim which gives the Nico a super soft feel, a radiant sheen, ultimate stretch comfort and a perfect fit. I completely agree with this! I usually get fed up of dark washes because they are all the same but these have a beautiful sheen to them and it brings the jeans to life, it makes them much more easy to wear and nicer to look at. I find shiny denim gives off a more classy feel as well. The Chelsea wash is a versatile deep and rich indigo which I have fallen in love with. I think it's the perfect shade to go with anything and everything and for day or night wear. The jeans have the finest stitch detail too which makes them really sleek and fitted.
These don't have Hudson's classic pointed flap pocket either, these have just a plain pocket with a little imprint of a flap pocket on them. I find these to be much more flattering than their classic pockets, I'm not really a fan of flaps on my pockets so these are the perfect alternative to that. I think if I could only have one dark pair of jeans then it would be these or a pair with exactly the same wash. I think this is the type of wash that you would have most use for and find the easiest to match your clothes with. I decided to do a colour block outfit with 3 different colours to go with the jeans and it works. I definitely love these and I am glad I got to review them. The comfort combined with the super skinny fit and the dark blue sheen wash are all perfect combinations! Plus they have a slightly lower price point to most premium jeans! Buy these jeans online at Hudson for $154.

Denim Review: Levi's Curve ID Slight Curve Skinnies
This weeks review pictures are a little different as I have been sick and wasn't able to take pictures this weekend. These photos are from an old set which I never got around to posting because they came out a bit blurry and dark or too light etc but I have cropped some of them to the best parts and most are close ups. They are the Levi's Curve ID Slight Curve skinny jeans.
I think the Curve ID concept that Levi's came up with is wonderful! Having 4 different fits for different shaped women, it's really something that needed to be done. So many of us are different shapes and sizes, some of us have large hips and a small waist, others have small hips and thighs etc. Not everyone fits the same styles and it's amazing how different the fits are. I have tried the Bold Curve, the Demi Curve and the Slight Curve all in my size and they fit so differently!
The Bold Curve I couldn't actually button up very well because of the small waist and the thighs and butt area were much too big on me, this cut is for the curvy ladies really. The Demi Curve fitted me in the waist and the butt but the thigh area was a bit loose on me so I tried the Slight Curve and that works out to be perfect! I have quite small legs so this Slight Curve accounts for that. It fits slim all the way down and it fits nicely in the butt area. It is a little tight in the waist but I do often have that problem, getting jeans to fit my legs is more important to me really. I haven't tried the 4th cut, the Supreme Curve, because I know that wont fit me either, it's for ladies with more curves.
I actually think that the Curve ID range is Levi's best range because of how easy it is to find the perfect fitting jean for your shape. I have to say that these jeans fit me near enough perfectly, they are a little long and not quite as skinny as I would like but that's because they are just a classic skinny and not a super skinny or ankle peg jean. The rise is a good height and the pocket placement is great. They make your butt look really rounded. The dark wash and material is one that attracts a lot of hairs though unfortunately, as you can see from the butt picture below, they are a hair magnet. I often get that with black jeans and these are a really dark navy which is pretty much almost black so I can understand why it happens.
I would definitely recommend that you try out the Curve ID range! You can take the test online on their website by clicking here where you answer questions and they tell you which fit will be best for you. It's fun and then you can shop their Curve ID jeans. The best part is they are around $60 – $80! I think that's a great price, but for us ladies in the UK they are around ┬ú85 as Levi's are always a lot more expensive over here. Buy Levi's Slight Curve jeans online at Levi's.com.

Google recently announced [1] another significant change to the format of their search engine results page (SERP). This time the affected party is search ad display URLs, which will soon appear in a new standardized lower case format. If your display URL currently appears as <Subdomain.Example.com/Subdirectory>, following the change, it will appear as <subdomain.example.com/Subdirectory>. Marketers won't need to make any additional edits on their ads, their domains will automatically be switched to lowercase.
For example, currently the URL for Fritzy's Pet Care Pros appears as <www.FritzysPetCarePros.com>, after the change the URL will appear as <www.fritzyspetcarepros.com>.
Google maintains that the change should have a positive impact for advertisers: "In any given month, we experiment with hundreds of subtle variations of the Google search results page, testing everything from font sizes and colors to layouts and spacing, as well as dozens of other variables. Recently, we found that by standardizing the look of the URLs on the page, we were able to improve many of our user metrics, including ad clickthrough rates." (our bolding)
But more clicks doesn't necessarily mean more revenue. Without the ability to customize the appearance of the display URL, PPC managers now have one less optimization lever at their disposal. Patrick McCarthy, SEM Senior Manager at The Search Agency, explains that Google's change could further increase competition for top positions: "As Google shifts to a more uniform ad format across paid and organic listings, testing of headlines, descriptions and vanity URLs becomes that much more important. The value of Ad Sitelinks and the additional real estate that comes with the Ad Extension, increases as well. Expect CPCs to rise as advertisers compete for top positions to ensure Sitelinks display."
With all the changes Google is making to its results page, marketers must become even more diligent in testing new ad variations and measuring the overall impact. As Mike Jarvinen, VP of Marketing Strategy at The Search Agency explains, "As an agency competing in competitive verticals, we are always testing every possible component of an ad to try and increase performance. The display URL and headline elements hold the strongest weight in ad performance and we are actively paying attention to this marketplace change both in defining the impact for our advertisers and isolating potential opportunities to increase performance for individual advertisers."
Our representatives at Google have informed us that the changes should come into effect over the next two weeks. Have you already seen the reformatting on Google? How do you expect the change to impact your campaigns?

WORLD℠ is a 24/7, full service multicast channel featuring public television's signature nonfiction documentary, science and news programming complemented by original content from emerging producers. Launched in August 2007, WORLD is produced and distributed by WGBH/Boston, American Public Television(APT) and WNET/New York in association with Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) and the National Educational Telecommunications Association (NETA).

WORLD's television channel features such public television favorites as NOVA, Frontline, PBS Newshour, Nightly Business Report, Tavis Smiley, Global Voices, Pacific Heartbeat, Nature, Independent Lens, P.O.V. , Moyers & Company, NHK Newsline, Voces, Scully/The World Show, AfroPop, and Consuelo Mack: Wealthtrack.

The mission of the 2nd South Carolina String Band is to present Civil War music in as authentic a manner as possible. In their recordings the listener will hear the music of the 19th century played on 19th century period instruments in the appropriate style. This is the music as it truly sounded to the soldiers of the Civil War.
The 2nd South Carolina String Band was formed in August of 1989 by five riflemen of Co.I, 2nd SC Volunteer Infantry, a unit of Civil War reenactors that was very active during the five years of events celebrating the 125th Anniversary of the Civil War – and for many years to follow. After the battles, drills and inspections, the boys who had instruments played and sang around the campfire while members of the unit would often join in and sing along. This was the beginning of the 2nd South Carolina String Band.
Recorded live on Sutler Row during the 150th anniversary reenactment of the Battle of Gettysburg, hosted by the Gettysburg Anniversary Committee in 2013.

ACP Ramnarine sues Chronicle for libel
Assistant Commissioner of Police, David Ramnarine has sued the state- owned Guyana Chronicle for $5M over a recent publication in which two miners made allegations against him.
A writ which was served yesterday gave the Guyana National Newspapers Limited, the publishers of the newspaper ten days to enter an appearance in the action.
Attorney at law Khemraj Ramjattan initiated the legal proceedings on behalf of Ramnarine who was stripped of his Divisional Commander post earlier this year after he publically questioned the allocation of $90M during last year's general elections.

As the title states good basic pedal. Has held up fine on my Pugsley riding the beaches of Long Island
My wife was having problems getting out of the clip-less kind, especially when she needed to quickly. I had even loosened them all the way. So it's back to the old-school pedals with toe clips but no straps. Although meant for a mountain bike, they work well on a road bike.

When you purchase a SS/FG complete online from a dealer like Bikes Direct, how do they ship the threadless fork? Already cut?
From pictures/descriptions on this forum, it looks like they are already cut and you can just fasten the stem, right out the box and ride.
I've never purchased a bike with a threadless fork and I'm not really sure how they determine where to cut it to ensure the proper height (ie if they cut it just above the top tube and the customer wants something higher, is the only way to adjust to get a stem with a higher angle?)
I'm really close to buying a Surly Steamroller and I'd really rather have a threaded fork. I've read on the forum that it's sometimes hard to find a LBS that can cut threads for this. Does anyone know of a site that will sell this bike with a threaded fork and/or cut the fork for me?

Schering-Plough, Merck Plan Combined Pill
Claritin-Singulair Medication, Firms' Second Joint Venture, Reflects Wide Industry Interest
Schering-Plough Corp. and Merck MRK 0.16 % & Co. announced plans to combine the popular allergy drugs Claritin and Singulair into a single pill in a bid to offer a new treatment option for allergy sufferers.
The initiative breathes new life into a project that stalled five years ago after the two companies' research failed to show the combination pill was better for seasonal allergy patients than the two pills administered separately. Now the companies say the combined product offers relief from sneezing, runny nose and watery eyes associated with allergies and also from nasal congestion. The "consistent and clinically relevant effect on congestion" they now see with the combined treatment "was not demonstrated with the individual components," they said.
In an interview last week, Thomas Koestler, Schering-Plough's head of research and development, said the combination product had "stalled," but that the company "took a hard look at this" and felt it made sense to move forward. The companies said they have filed for Food and Drug Administration approval of the new pill. The application was accepted for a standard review, which typically takes 10 to 12 months, according to the agency.
But in a crowded allergy market that includes dozens of generic and over-the-counter options, Schering-Plough and Merck would likely have to make the case to potential customers that the drug is an advance over other products that are already available -- including Singulair and Claritin taken separately. Singulair is available only as a branded drug -- with blockbuster sales of $3.58 billion last year; Claritin is available both generically and over-the-counter.
The combo pill's advantages will especially be a question because Merck and Schering-Plough said in a 2002 press release that a late-stage study "did not demonstrate a statistically significant improvement in the treatment of seasonal allergic rhinitis compared to each product administered separately." Both companies declined to elaborate on what has changed since 2002, but said data on the combination drug would be available at an unspecified future date.
"I think they sort of looked a little harder at the data and figured out a way to make it look good," says Harold Nelson, an allergist at National Jewish Medical and Research Center in Denver. "This is not a huge therapeutic breakthrough."
However, Dr. Nelson added that a potential benefit of the product would be if it is shown to address the "whole spectrum" of allergy symptoms, including congestion, while having a benign side-effect profile. Many currently available products aren't "as effective as we might hope they would be," he said. Dr. Nelson is doing research on behalf of Schering-Plough on its asthma drug Asmanex.
The effort is the second major joint venture between the two big pharmaceutical companies, and it reflects broader industry interest in combining popular medicines into one pill. Ideally, the strategy offers convenience, improved compliance with medications and possibly lower co-pays for patients. For companies, it can salvage a revenue stream from drugs that have gone off patent, among other things.
Merck and Schering-Plough sell Vytorin, a pill that combines Merck's cholesterol fighter Zocor, now available generically as simvastatin, and Schering-Plough's Zetia. Sales of Vytorin were $1.96 billion in 2006, nearly double the figures for the prior year, according to Merck.
But Pfizer Inc. PFE 0.52 % 's Caduet, a drug combining the cholesterol drug Lipitor and the high-blood-pressure medicine Norvasc, has yielded disappointing sales. NitroMed Inc.'s bid to sell BiDil, a branded version of two generic pills, for heart failure to African-American patients has met stiff resistance because the combination is much more expensive with little evidence of improved benefit.
In the revived venture of Schering-Plough and Merck, Claritin is an antihistamine that treats allergy symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose and itchy, watery eyes -- but not congestion. Singulair, meanwhile, also may help with congestion, doctors say. The drug isn't approved specifically as a treatment for congestion, though the drug's label says patients who took it improved on a "nasal symptom score" that included congestion as a component. Singulair is also approved for treatment of asthma.
If the combo pill is approved, doctors and patients would have to weigh whether it offers an advantage over other antihistamines that have added the decongestant component pseudoephedrine, such as Claritin-D, which is available over-the-counter. Sudafed, which contains pseudoephedrine and could be taken along with an antihistamine, is also available over-the-counter.
Robert Naclerio, chief of otolaryngology (ear, nose and throat medicine) and head and neck surgery at the University of Chicago, says that with a congestion benefit, a Claritin-Singulair pill might also appeal to patients because it has fewer side effects. Pseudoephedrine can cause restlessness and insomnia in some patients, and some have reported elevated heart rates. Dr. Naclerio says he has provided consulting services to Merck and Schering-Plough on the combination product.
Dr. Naclerio says the most effective treatments for allergy symptoms, meanwhile, are steroid nasal sprays, such as Schering-Plough's Nasonex and GlaxoSmithKline PLC's Flonase, but he says many patients don't like using nasal sprays.
Schering-Plough might see some gains from the project, since sales of branded Claritin, once a $3 billion product, have plunged as the drug became generic several years ago. The $3.58 billion 2006 sales of Singulair, Merck's top-selling product, represented a 20% increase over 2005. Singulair isn't expected to become available generically until 2012, according to Lehman Brothers.
A risk for Merck is that sales of the combination pill would cut into sales of Singulair. Sales of the combination product would be shared by the two companies. Merck spokesman Ian McConnell said the company recognizes the combination pill would compete with Singulair, but that Merck is "pleased" to be "moving forward in this market." The combination pill would "provide another alternative for patients and caregivers," he said.

1.25.10 | Women's Basketball
Baker set to take on Central Methodist University
FAYETTE, Mo. - The Baker women's basketball team (11-7, 7-1) returns to the hardwood Monday when it travels to Fayette, Mo., to take on Central Methodist University (8-11, 2-7). Tip-off is slated for 5:30 p.m. (CST) in Puckett Field House.
The Wildcats enter Monday's tilt with a 2-5 record in road games. Last time out, Baker defeated Graceland University, 81-49. Junior Aubree Gustin led three Wildcat players in double-figure points with 17 in the contest.
1.23.10 | Women's Basketball
Three Wildcats score in double digits in 81-49 victory
BALDWIN CITY, Kan. - The Baker women's basketball team bounced back Saturday afternoon, defeating Graceland University 81-49 at the George F. Collins Center. With the win, the Wildcats improved to 11-7 overall and 7-1 in the Heart of America Athletic Conference.
Three players finished in double figures, and junior forward Aubree Gustin (pictured) led the way with 17 points. Junior Emily Gibson recorded her 11th double-double, scoring 16 points and grabbing 10 rebounds. Junior guard Brittany Hines added 13 points on 5-of-11 shooting.

OLATHE, Kan. - Despite leading for more than 18 minutes in the first half, the Baker women's basketball team fell 53-62 on Thursday evening. Junior guard Jenna Brantley (pictured) led the scoring attack for the Wildcats with 11 points while shooting 5-14 from the field and 1-5 from beyond the arc.
The Pioneers (10-8, 5-3) were not intimidated by the Wildcats' (10-7, 6-1) top ranking in the conference and outscored the Wildcats 35-24 in the second half.
1.21.10 | Women's Basketball
Baker to take on conference foe MidAmerica Nazarene Thursday evening
OLATHE, Kan. - The Baker women (10-6, 6-0) look to remain flawless in conference play as they travel Thursday to MidAmerica Nazarene University (9-8, 4-3). Game time is set for 5:30 p.m. at the Cook Center, which has proven to be a difficult venue for the Wildcats, who have gone 1-8 while visiting the Pioneers over the past nine years.
Baker looks to turn things around, however, by keeping the momentum gained by a 73-53 win over Missouri Valley College. Junior standout Emily Gibson (pictured) paved the way with 20 points and 11 rebounds. Gibson leads the Wildcats, averaging 14.8 points, 9.6 rebounds, 1.7 blocks and 1.6 steals per game.
1.18.10 | Women's Basketball
Gibson named HAAC Player of the Week
KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Baker University junior Emily Gibson (pictured) was named Heart of America Athletic Conference Player of the Week for the second time this season. Gibson averaged 17.5 points, 10 rebounds, and two assists for the Wildcats last week.
Gibson highlighted the week with 15 points and nine rebounds in a 62-60 victory at William Jewell College last Thursday.
Gibson leads the HAAC with 9.5 rebounds per game and ranks second with 1.81 blocks per game.
Baker, 10-6 overall and 6-0 in conference, heads to MidAmerica Nazarene on Thursday. Tip-off is slated for 5:30 p.m.
1.16.10 | Women's Basketball

BALDWIN CITY, Kan. - The Baker women's basketball team posted its sixth-straight conference victory Saturday, downing Missouri Valley 73-53.
The Wildcats (10-6, 6-0) were led by junior Emily Gibson (pictured), who recorded her eighth double-double of the season with 20 points and 11 rebounds. Teammate Brooke Soske chipped in with eight points and two rebounds.
"I'm really happy with how our team executed our game plan," said Baker head coach Susan Decker.
1.14.10 | Women's Basketball
Wildcats overtake first place with 62-60 win over William Jewell
LIBERTY, Mo. - Free throws saved the day. Aubree Gustin scored 10 points, including two free throws with 5.2 seconds remaining in regulation, and Baker (9-6,5-0) held on to beat William Jewell (13-4,6-1) for the first time since 2007.
Emily Gibson recorded a game-high 15 points with nine rebounds, and Brittany Hines chipped in with 14.
After William Jewell missed a layup that would have given the Cardinals the lead, the Wildcats got the ball into the hands of their most consistent free throw shooter. Gustin sank both free throws to give the Wildcats their marquee victory of the season.
1.12.10 | Women's Basketball
Baker women's basketball receives votes in top-25 poll
KANSAS CITY, Mo. - A 4-0 start in the Heart of America Athletic Conference has garnered Baker University votes for the NAIA Division I women's basketball top-25 poll.

California authorities say a 75-year-old woman is expected to make a full recovery after a two-day kidnapping ordeal during which she was beaten, bound and gagged in El Cajon, California.
Authorities say three people are under arrest after police pulled the woman's car over for speeding early Wednesday and found her in the back of the station wagon.
Police say the victim had also been without food or water for two days.
A sheriff's lieutenant says a shovel also was found in the car and "she may have been on the way to her death."
The woman told deputies one of her kidnappers was a salesman from a carpet company who sold her a $2,000 vacuum. She said he came back later, choked her until she passed out, tied her hands and feet and gagged her mouth with duct tape.

Delia, age 28, is single and does not have children. She has a clothing store. She requested the loan to buy blouses, pants, skirts, and baby clothes. She started her business five years ago. She undertook her business due to necessity. She bought the merchandise with the savings from her previous work. She sells her products in an itinerant manner at the market in her community. Her business is important because that is how she supports herself and is able to cover her expenses.
She is proud to have her own business, and she is glad when her sales are good. She invests her earnings in the purchase of more clothes in order to keep her business stocked. She is planning on expanding her business and adding women's and men's shoes. She plans to do so with the loans.
Her hopes and dreams are for her business to be well-stocked in order to give her customers better service. The members of the group want to tell Kiva and the Fundación Realidad, "We are grateful for your support. Thanks for lending to us and trusting us so that we can get ahead in our businesses."
Previous Loan DetailsThis solidarity group is called "Esperanza" ("Hope"), and is made up of the following women: Señoras Ivet and Adriana are going to purchase women's, men's and children's shoes with their loan. Señora Felicita will buy sheets, towels and bedspreads. Señora Vicenta will buy napkin rings, sauce... More from Esperanza Group's previous loan »
Additional Information
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.

Who we are
Ahrefs is a multinational team with roots from Ukraine and headquarters in Singapore. We are truly a lean start-up company. We value making meaningful and easy-to-use products. We shift things fast to better deliver our customers with what matters most to them, and to keep us ahead of the game with the manifesto "First do it, then do it right, then do it better". The team is rather small. Each and every member brings several talents into the team and carries out various professional duties to constantly improve our products and services.
Let's Take it Back: Ahrefs history dates back to 2011 when our first version of Site Explorer was introduced to the public after one year of thorough preparation and data mining. With the launch of Site Explorer, Ahrefs stirred the stagnant field of backlink analysis and kick-started a new round of competition among SEO tool providers back then and quickly became one of the world's best backlink analysis tools.
From our humble beginnings, Ahrefs has steadily grown. We started out with the first cluster of 6 hand-made servers, gradually moving on to our current powerful 60 TFlops system. Today, our index is updated with the freshest backlinks found on the web every 15 minutes, and the crawler processes up to 6 billion pages a day. Hard to believe – it is only three times less than what Googlebot does!
What's in Our Name? Ahrefs, pronounced as /eɪtʃ'refs/, is originated from the HTML link tag < a href="url"></a> that specifies the destination of the page the link goes to. Our name represents our mission. We focus on versatile backlinks discovery and presentation services. Our goal from the outset is to provide you with competitive backlink intelligence data to help you make your website better.

Black has better than 4...Ne8 : 4...a5 and if 5.Bxa5 Ra6 gets out of the pin. Of course, White has one more exchange and two connected passers, so he should win. But maybe better is even (4...a5) 5.Be1 ! after which 5...a4 6.Rf2 axb3 7.axb3 is only a very tiny improvement (Black is still dead lost).
I don't see the advantage of 4... a5:
4…a5 5. Be1 a4 [6. bxa4 Bxa4 7. Rxc6 Bxc6] 6. Rf2 axb3 7. axb3 [Bxb3?? 8. Rxc6 1-0]
I don't see why you give Be1 a "!", but sure. Rook connectivity isn't too key here, it's not that noteworthy of a move. Black trades pawn for pawn, giving white a passed B-pawn. Seems bad.
Actually, the b passed pawn is not a key factor here. Black is trying everything he can to avoid losing a piece. If he can get a try to swindle White even at the cost of a pawn, he must take it.
Ok, 4...a5 is not "better", it's only more tricky. At least a better try than 4...Ne8.

Development of non integrating gene delivery system for reprogramming adult cells and identify molecules to enhance reprogramming efficiency
Embryonic stem cells have great potentials in the future of medicine and research because they can develop into virtually any kind of tissue type and potentially become an unlimited resource for cell therapy. However, the ethical issue surrounding the use of embryonic stem cells comes from the fact that they are derived from human embryos in a process that causes the death of the embryos. In 2006, scientists reported that stem cells can be created without eggs or embryos by using viruses to deliver four regulator genes, a process called induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC). However, before iPS cells can be used in the clinic, many technical problems need to be overcome, such as eliminating the use of viruses or inserting regulator genes into the genome that potentially can cause cancer. Here we propose to develop a non integrating system to deliver the regulator genes which can be turned off after cells have been reprogrammed. This delivery system will enable researchers to introduce genes into the cells, switch them on during the reprogramming period, and turn off once cells have been reprogrammed. This method does not integrate genes into the cell's genome and thus, preventing additional changes in the host's genome. In addition, another technical difficulty to reprogram cells is that the process is very inefficient. Scientists have reported the success rate of 0.1-5% of obtaining iPS cells. We will be screening for molecules that will enhance the reprogramming process. Reprogramming adult stem cells into induced pluripotent stem cells could generate a potentially limitless source of immune-compatible cells for tissue engineering and transplantation medicine. However, before reprogrammed cells can be used in the clinic, they must be grown in conditions are free of any animal origin. We will perform and adapt reprogramming of cells in defined serum free medium containing enhancing molecules identified in this study to generate iPS cell lines that will be suitable for clinical studies.
Stem cells have potential in many areas of medical research, such as they offer the possibility of renewable sources of replacement cells and new tissues to treat many kinds of diseases, conditions, and disabilities. However, the use of stem cells has been very controversial due to the fact that they are derived from human embryos. The recent discovery of transforming adult cells back to the equivalent of embryonic state without the use of eggs or embryos will open a new era of research in cell-based therapy and tissue engineering. Before reprogrammed cells can be used in the clinic, there are some technical hurdles need to be overcome, such as the use of viral vectors to deliver genes and introducing regulator genes that can cause cancer. We propose to develop a novel delivery method that does not insert genes into the cell's genome and enables genes to be turned on and off, thus preventing genes to be expressed and potentially cause cancer after cells have been reprogrammed. In addition, in order to obtain large number of reprogrammed cells for cell therapy, the reprogramming process needs to be more robust than the current state of obtaining between 0.1-5% reprogramming efficiency. We will screen for molecules and examine their ability to enhance reprogramming efficiency. Finally, we will generate iPS cells using techniques developed in this study and adapt them to animal origin free medium which will be applicable for clinical studies. Results from our research will increase the statue of California's research and benefit its citizens by enhancing the process of creating patient-specific pluripotent stem cells that can be used for disease research and cell replacement therapies.

Flash problems on my E620. Please help!
Hi there! New to this so please be gentle!
Around 5 years or so ago I purchased my Olympus E620 new. Worked great! Around 3 years ago I started having issues with the flash on indoor shots. It will fire like its in Red Eye mode even when its not. I will shut the flash off and it will still fire. Sometimes I have to power off the camera to get it to stop. This is making indoor shot almost impossible. Any suggestions would be great!

SONOMA -- The entire 12-member board of the Sonoma Valley Hospital Foundation abruptly resigned earlier this week, the result of an apparent dispute between management and the foundation over how to best attract fundraisers for the hospital.
The resignations comes at a key moment for the 83-bed hospital, operated by the Sonoma Valley Health Care District, which is in the process of raising $7 million for the facility's $39 million rebuild. Most of the cost is being covered by a general obligation bond approved by Sonoma Valley voters.
Carolyn Stone, head of the foundation since 1985, has said publicly that she and other members felt as if the hospital was impeding the foundation's fundraising efforts. The foundation, which operated independently from the health care district, had $240,000 in cash as of July 2, according to Ms. Stone.
"The resignations were in response to the management of the Sonoma Valley hospital imposing strict restraints upon the activities of the foundation; and requiring the foundation to give up its development activities on behalf of the hospital," Ms. Stone said in a press release.
With the resignations, the foundation has given the hospital control, according to the health care district.
"This means the hospital is now, on an interim basis, managing the Foundation's current operations," the district said in a memo.
The hospital said it will appoint an interim board chair and treasurer, as well as an events committee to assume responsibility for the upcoming "Dancing With Our Stars" event, which was being planned by the Foundation before the resignation and will benefit the hospital.
The hospital also downplayed any dispute, saying that the Foundation and the health care district had been in communication for months about the changing role of health care philanthropy.
"The hospital has been in discussions with the Foundation for several months, and was hoping to work together as our fundraising needs and style evolve," hospital spokeswoman Bonnie Durance said. "That the board has decided to resign is their decision.
"We deeply appreciate all that the Foundation has done over the years. They have served as an emotional and social as well as fundraising source of support for the hospital and their service has been invaluable," Ms. Durance added.

A man who complicated efforts to fight a fire at the Quality Inn in Hazel Dell surrendered to authorities Saturday night after a four-hour standoff atop the once-burning building.
The man, identified as Angel M Torres-Reyna, 41, climbed down a fire department ladder at about 8 p.m. after extensive discussions with negotiators through a Spanish-language interpreter, ending a tense standoff that began when the fire was reported at 3:50 p.m. Saturday at 7001 N.E. Highway 99.
He was arrested on suspicion of first-degree arson, according to a bulletin from the Clark County Sheriff's Office.
The fire started in the man's room, fire officials said later Saturday. As of 5:30 p.m., negotiators were trying to get him off the roof of the building.
Units arriving on scene found flames coming through the roof of the north building. They also found the man on the roof waving his arms. The man began pushing ladders of firefighters attempting to reach him from the roof.
Firefighters entering the building found smoke in the hallways. Fire appeared to have started in one of the rooms and spread into the attic area.
Firefighters brought the fire under control in about 15 minutes.
A reporter arriving on scene said the man was standing on the roof of the building, shirtless and smoking a cigarette.
Law enforcement personnel and firefighters were working to gain access to the roof. They also called in a Spanish-language translator.
Deputies from the Clark County Sheriff's Office worked to talk the man off the roof as firefighters worked to extinguish hot spots remaining on the roof.
Witnesses on scene report that the man on the roof may have started the fire.
Shortly after 5 p.m., fire trucks were departing the scene. The man remained on the roof as deputies worked to get him down.
After 5:45 p.m., firefighters set up a ladder truck to provide the man easy access to the ground.
Firefighters are giving man on roof "a way down if he wants it," said Clark County Sheriff's Office Sgt. Duncan Hoss. "He can't kick that one down."
As of 7:30 p.m., the man remained on the roof as a harvest moon rose behind him and officers continued efforts to get him to come down the ladder.
This story will be updated.

The Agricultural & Commerical Society of Zambia
The Agricultural and Commercial Show is organized by the Agricultural and Commercial Society of Zambia (ACSZ). It is the country's premier show held in the capital city Lusaka, Zambia, for six days. The first show was held in 1919 and has been held every year since except for 1921, 1941 to 1946.
Exhibitors at the show have over the years included companies from many countries. The Show provides a forum for exchange in agriculture, agribusiness, trade information and commercial as well as creating opportunities to show case emerging farming technologies, product innovation and value addition
Story behind our success
Zambia has all it takes for an overwhelming economic boom. The human resource, good climate and natural resources are all there to be trapped. Lusaka is also the Headquarters for COMESA, and as such all members states find the show as a focal point to enhance and evaluate all their economic activities both current and future.
On the commercial side, the country has continued to pursue macro-economic stabilization measures including prudent financial and fiscal measures, which are necessary to rejuvenate the economy to higher levels of growth. As a result of this there should be increased economic activity leading to improvements in the small and enterprises especially.
The Agricultural and Commercial Show has truly become a leading Southern African region meeting place.
The show also offers a platform for cultural exchanges regionally and internationally, which is a catalyst for development for any country.
The first show was held in 1919 and has been held every year thereafter with the exception of the years 1921, 1941 to 1946 because of the first and second world war, and in 1966 as well due to Rhodesia's Unilateral Declaration of Independence the previous November, which led to the occupation of a large part of the Showground by the aircrew of the Royal Air Force.
The venue of the show has changed six times from the Kafue River Bank site to a temporary site in Lusaka, where the National Institute of Public Administration stands. In 1951 it moved to its permanent location in the present day showground.
The Agricultural and Commercial Society of Zambia is an affiliate of the Royal Agricultural Society of the Common wealth (RASC) this is a non governmental organization consisting a confederation of 40 national and regional agricultural societies in 20 Commonwealth countries.

Alicia Fox cconcussion
During her tag team match on Monday Night Raw this week, Alicia Fox suffered a concussion and will be required to take time away from the ring. That could be a major blow to her career, as management is contemplating a replacement in the stable because they already have stories written out over the next several weeks.
July 28, 2015
While it is definitely not going to happen as long as she is currently under contract to WWE, Alicia Fox is said to be one of the divas that would have been interested in posing nude for Playboy magazine had the offer been on the table like it was in the past when the company was a bit more raunchy. She knows that she is not going to be wrestling forever, so the extra exposure could have helped her career. That was one reason why she joined Total Divas.

My dilemma:
I am going to Rouen, France, for a conference. Flight lands at Charles de Gaulle Int'l.
Q1: Can I really go to France (for free) in July and NOT bring my touring bike (a French-built Peugeot no less) and take a small vacation? I figure this one is a no-brainer.
Now seriously...
I've heard great things about the Michelin and IGN maps for touring in France. But I'm in Canada so I did a Google maps "get directions" search using Charles de Gaulle airport and Rouen as departure and destination, respectively, using "walking" as my mode of transport. None of the roads along the way are A class (all D or smaller) and a total distance of 132km.
Q2: How much faith could I put in a route like this (anyone from France or who has spent time there familiar with the area)?
I arrive at 7am and I don't sleep well when traveling, but I'm young and in decent cycling shape. My conference begins the next morning, so I have to do this in one day. I've done two centuries (last summer) at a brisk pace, so over 12 hours I figure I can get from point A to point B (132km) on a loaded bike (tent, sleeping bag, minimal tools, minimal clothes). Now that the weather is nice I'm going to be riding as many miles as possible on both my touring (weekend camping trips) and TT bike.
Q3: Is doing this in one day realistic? How much of a risk am I taking?
I can't NOT make it in one day (my boss would kill me), but it's only 130km so even if I get stuck (catastrophic bicycle failure), I'm sure I could leave my bike somewhere and get a ride somehow (I'm Canadian, so 130km is like a drive to the supermarket) and pick up the bike after the conference.
Since I am new at touring (picked up my touring bike this winter) I'd REALLY appreciate any and all feedback from you seasoned vets. Especially from those who are familiar with biking in France.
I can't wait for the 10 days I've taken off to ride around in the French country-side (Normandy&Britanny)!!

A new study from Spain finds aspirin appears to lower blood pressure more so when taken at night, than in the morning, though it's unclear why this may be.
The study included more than 200 adults with a condition known as pre-hypertension, which signals a future risk for heart disease. It is diagnosed when blood pressure is elevated, but not enough to be considered high blood pressure.
