The ghost bat, Macroderma gigas, has undergone a major range contraction and is currently restricted around a few, highly disjunct maternity sites. The amount and distribution of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) variation within extant populations has been used to assess levels of current and historical maternal gene flow between these populations. An approximately 330 base pair fragment spanning a hypervariable area of the mtDNA control region was amplified and sequenced by using 22 individuals from four current ghost bat populations. The mean sequence diversity of 4.5% between populations was six times higher than that within populations (0.68%), and alleles within populations were monophyletic. Restriction enzyme analysis of amplified products from an additional 100 individuals revealed fixed allelic differences in the distribution of control region genotypes between the four populations. It is suggested that this extreme genetic subdivision is a consequence of long-term female philopatry. For the purposes of management each population should be treated as an independent entity. The depth of the genetic structuring suggests that the isolation of extant populations preceded the historical range contraction.

This invention relates to systems for aseptically connecting fluid processing lines, such as those used in food processing or sterile drug production, to drain lines. More specifically, the invention relates to such systems which provide an aseptic barrier between a drain line open to the atmosphere and an aseptic process system.
Various fluid handling systems have been devised for transferring fluids such as foods from multiple sources to multiple product delivery tubes connected to outlets such as container filling stations as well as other enclosed type of systems that may require connection to a drain. See, for example, commonly assigned, Zimmerly, U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,226,449; 2,232,023; and 5,275,201. Applicable regulations require that the valves used in such systems be provided with a means to drain them to the atmosphere and to provide a device that serves as a leak detector indicating that a malfunction has occurred in the system.
Processes and packaging have been developed for long term storage of aseptically packaged products such as milk, baby formula, juices, and IV solutions. The problem exists, however, that there is always some possibility that contaminants from an atmospheric drain system could move upstream into the fluid handling system in the absence of a barrier. However, to comply with the necessity of providing leak detection, systems have not been available for serving as a sanitary barrier.
The principal object of the present invention is to provide a sanitary barrier between a drain system open to the atmosphere and an aseptic fluid handling system such as the type used in transferring food liquids. In accordance with an important aspect of the invention, a liquid solution overflow barrier is provided as a component of the barrier system of the invention. In accordance with a further aspect of the invention, controllable valves are utilized which are connected to sensors which maintain the barrier solution between selected high and low fluid levels. In accordance with a related aspect of the invention, the probes detect a low barrier fluid level condition and sound an appropriate alarm.
In accordance with yet further aspects of the invention, air pressure equalization openings are provided which cause any necessary air to enter the system through sterile filters. In a still further related aspect of the invention the exit vents also utilize sterile vent filters. In accordance with a still further aspect of the invention, provision is made for rinsing of the entire system with clean-in-place fluid which is drained from the system through the barrier assembly of the present invention.
In accordance with a yet further aspect of the invention, the assembly, further, is connected to a steam supply valve which allows sterilization of the system with steam and also provides for collection and removal of steam condensate.
In accordance with another further aspect of the invention, a warning system is provided to indicate a high fluid level which can thus signal that a valve plug or seal has failed, possibly allowing large amounts of product solution to enter the barrier assembly. In accordance with a further related aspect of the high level warning system, a mechanism is provided to permit drainage to occur through the barrier area until the malfunction has been remedied.
Briefly, a buffer system for separating an aseptic fluid handling assembly from a drain includes a fluid receiving housing in fluid flow communication with a fluid discharge outlet of the aseptic fluid handling assembly. A trapped fluid discharge opening near the bottom of the housing, includes a tube which extends above the bottom into a baffle container. The baffle container is in the form of an enclosure having openings at the bottom thereof to admit fluids contained in the housing. A discharge conduit is in fluid flow communication with the discharge opening. A first fluid level detector in the housing activates at least one valve in the discharge conduit by a control which opens and closes the valve in response selected fluid levels detected by the fluid level detector. In a preferred embodiment the first fluid level detect detects a fluid level exceeding a preselected depth in the housing and a second fluid level detector detects fluid levels dropping below a second preselected level in the housing. Preferably the second fluid level detector is operatively connected to the valve to cause closing thereof in the event the fluid level drops below the second preselected level.
Further objects and advantages of the invention will become apparent through the accompanying detailed description, claims and accompanying drawings.

FIG. 6 is a partially schematic drawing of a sanitary aseptic drain system in accordance with invention showing parts in cross-section with the system in a steam cleaning mode;
Referring more particularly to the drawings there is seen in each FIGURE of the drawings a buffer system generally identified by numeral 10 for providing an aseptic connection between fluid processing conduits and drain lines. The buffer systems 10 of this invention includes a housing 12 adapted to receive fluids from a system drain 13 which connects, for example to a manifold valve assembly of the type shown in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,232,023 or 5,275,201. Such systems are provided with valves known as "leak detector" valves which discharge liquids to a drain in the event of leakage of one or more valves within the system.
Within the bottom portion of housing 12 is a trap hood 14 provided with fluid flow openings 16 near its bottom. An outflow pipe 17 extends into housing 12 to a height located above the top of openings 16 and within trap hood 14. This arrangement thereby forms a liquid flow trap. Outflow pipe 17 is connected to further outflow conduit sections 18 and 19 which lead to a drain. A valve 20 controllable by a air valve controller 22 separates conduit sections 17 and 18. A two way valve 21 separates drain conduit section 18 from the lower portion of the conduit 19 which, in turn, is connected to a drain. The two way valve 21 also can divert backflow of liquids under pressure into the system through a pipe 23 which is adapted to permit inflow therethrough of a clean-in-place fluid.
A volume of liquid 24 separates the housing 12 from the drain system 17, 18, 19. It will be noted, referring to the drawings, that the upward flow of liquids from the drain is prevented by the trap system as illustrated.
To insure that overflow tube 17 is always covered by liquid a series of level control probes 26, 28 and 30 are provided. Probe 26 is a high level probe, probe 28 is a static system level probe and probe 30 is a low level probe, the function of each of which is further explained hereinbelow.
Housing 12 is also provided at its upper end with a vent outlet 34 which is controlled by valve 32 operated by an air valve controller 36. The outflow vent 34 is connected to a vent stack by means of connecting pipe 38. A steamable vent filter 40 is provided in vent line 38 to permit steam sterilization thereof. A steam inflow pipe 42, controllable by valve 44, and a steam outflow pipe 46 exiting from the filter casing, controllable by a valve 48, are also provided for purposes of sterilization of filter 40.
Housing 12 is also provided with a steam inflow pipe 50 controllable by an air valve 52 to permit steam cleaning of the housing 12.
The housing 12 and the associated parts of buffer system 10 are provided with a system drain 54 controllable by an air valve 56. Also connected to the system is a steam condensate outflow conduit 58 which provides a means for outflow of steam condensate from a steam trap 60 which is separated from system 10 by means of another air valve 62.
As seen in the drawings the bottom of housing 12 is preferably inclined so that a drain opening 63 connected by pipe 64 to the system drain 54 can drain all of the liquid contained in the bottom of housing 12 by means of gravity flow. An air valve 66 closes outlet 63 and is normally closed during operation of the system.
The operation of the system in various operational modes will now be discussed with reference to the drawings. Referring first to FIG. 1 which shows the system in a static operational mode which provides a barrier between product drain line 13 and drain pipe connector 19, the housing 12 is filled, preferably to the level of probe number 28, with a liquid solution, which is at a greater depth than outflow pipe 17 and thus creates a barrier.
Referring to FIG. 2 the system draining mode is illustrated. In the event that liquids from the system enter housing 12 through conduit 13 the fluid level in housing 12 is allowed to increase until the level of probe 26 is reached. Probe 26 is electrically connected to controller 22 which causes air valve 20 to open. Valve 21 opens the connection between conduit segments 18 and 19. Liquids from housing 12 are thus enabled to flow into the product drain out of conduit 19 as the arrows show in FIG. 2. As the fluid level in housing 12 increases, air in housing 12 is displaced outwardly through vent outlet 34 and conduit 38. At any time that the liquid reaches the level of probe 26, outflow of liquid continues until the level of probe 28 is once again reached. At that level air valve 20 is caused, by signals triggered by probe 28, to close, thereby maintaining the fluid level at probe 28 which is at a level above outflow pipe 17. In the event that the fluid level 24 drops below the level of probe 30 an alarm will sound indicating that a low level condition has been exceeded.
In order to prevent creation of a vacuum in the system, air is permitted to be introduced into housing 12 through sterile vent filter 40 and then through opening 34. The system venting condition is best seen in FIG. 3 wherein the flow of air through housing 12 and back through product flow conduit 13 into the manifold system is indicated. This condition will continue so long as negative pressure occurs within the manifold valve system.
The arrangement for cleaning-in-place of the system is illustrated in FIG. 4. When cleaning of the manifold valve system is called for, as seen in FIG. 4 clean-in-place solution enters through conduit 23. Valve 21 directs the flow of clean-in-place fluid upwardly through conduit 18 and through overflow pipe 17. For this purpose air valve 20 is opened by air valve controller 22. As noted by the arrows in FIG. 4 clean-in-place solution also flows upwardly through conduit 13 and preferably through conduit 34 and therefrom by means of an appropriate crossover conduit 70 into the manifold system.
Draining of the clean-in-place fluid out of the system after cleaning is illustrated in FIG. 5. Note that outflow valve 63 is at a lower vertical level than the remainder of housing 12. In order to drain the spent clean-in-place solution, valve 66 is opened as is valve 54 so that the clean-in-place fluid can flow out through outlet 63 and conduits 64 and 54 as indicated by arrows. Two way valve 21 closes the clean-in-place supply conduit 23. Air valve controller 22 also closes valve 20. Optionally valve 62 can also be opened to permit fluid drainage out of conduit 58.
Referring to FIG. 6 the operation of the system during system steaming is shown. During steaming air valve controller 52 is activated to open thus allowing steam to flow in through steam inlet conduit 50. Steam then flows through the system in the direction of the various arrows seen in FIG. 6. During steaming it is desirable to pulse valve 36 periodically in order to steam the valve cavity of said valve and to allow steam to enter the vent tube and exit the vent stack. During this procedure valve 36 is normally closed and only opened periodically to allow steam through the vent piping system. As noted, steam will backflow into the manifold system through conduit 13 and flow outwardly through outflow pipe 17 and into steam trap 60 and then flow out as condensate through outlet 58. Generally it is preferred that as condensate forms it is collected within housing 12 until it rises to the level of probe 26. When the condensate reaches probe 26 air valve 62 is opened to allow condensate and remaining steam to flow through steam trap 60. At the end of the steam cycle the condensate is drained to the level of probe 28 at which time valve 62 is closed. Thus a liquid barrier is provided completely covering outflow tube 17 in an aseptic fashion. Preferably the steam utilized is of culinary quality, ie: it has been filtered to remove any boiler materials.
It is preferred that the system also be provided with protection against catastrophic failure, for example, in the event that a seal or valve plug should fail somewhere in the associated piping matrix, thus allowing the flow into housing 12 of a large amount of product solution and thereby overcoming the normal draining of the system. In this event, if the solution rises to probe 72, indicating an undesirably high liquid level condition, air valve 36 is activated to close, thereby protecting the vent filter area from being contaminated with product solution. Also at this point controls would be interlocked to a product high level alarm which would alert an operator that system failure has occurred. Under this condition the system would continue draining through valve 20 and outflow conduit 19 until a level coinciding with probe 28 was attained thus triggering the closing of valve 20 by means of air valve controller 22. The barrier within housing 12 would thus continue to be maintained.
While various preferred embodiments of the invention have been shown for purposes of illustration it will be understood that modifications can be made by those skilled in the art. Thus the scope of the invention should be deemed to include the literal language of the appended claims and reasonable equivalents thereof.

WASHINGTON (AP) — District of Columbia police say a driver will not be charged for striking three people taking part in an Occupy DC protest in downtown Washington.
Lt. Christopher Micciche (MITCH'-ih-kay) of the D.C. police said early Saturday that the driver was not cited because he had a green light when his vehicle struck the three on southbound 7th Street NW on Friday night.
He said witnesses told police that the three pedestrians "either ran toward or jumped in front of the moving vehicle." He said one pedestrian was cited for being in the roadway.
D.C. fire department spokesman Lon Walls said Saturday morning that the three were transported to two area hospitals with non-life-threatening injuries.
Hundreds of protesters affiliated with Occupy DC shut down streets Friday near the city's convention center in downtown, where a conservative group was gathering.

And the Lord said to him: "Man Up." And he Did

Taylor Hall has taken more than his share of abuse this season. The young phenom has a vast array of skills, and one of them is pissing off the opposition with a motor that won't quit and a compete level that's off the scale. Last night, Hall took one too many late hits and reacted. The boy became a man.
Jason Gregor
March 03 2011 11:41PM
I just spoke with a source who said, nothing broken, but Hall is likely out for a few weeks at least. Severe sprain, possibly the dreaded high ankle sprain, if so, a return this year is doubtful.

Amidst reading about how Charlie Sheen has passed four consecutive drug tests, we happened to stroll over to FlamesNation.ca today. And lo and behold if they aren't having a laugh a minute down there over a photoshop contest that Kent Wilson put together.
"Anything Calgary can do Edmonton can do better" we screamed aloud and ran from the room at top speed.
Jason Gregor
March 03 2011 12:46PM
Normally the dog days of the season appear in January, but when it is minus 812 outside, and the only thing more frequent than snow in Edmonton this year is listening to people rant and rave about Charlie Sheen, so you better get ready for another stretch of days-that-will-test-your-loyalty-to-the-Oilers.

Outreach Grant Scheme
We start to learn about physiology from a young age, yet many will never comprehend what a truly incredible piece of machinery the body is. As a physiologist, you can help us change this.
Encouraging dialogue between scientists and school children or members of the public, is the first step to sparking an interest in physiology- or even a career – and we think there is no one better to do this than our Members.
If you are keen to share your passion for the science of life with some new audiences, there are several ways The Society can help you.
Outreach Grants offer Members of The Society up to £1000 per calendar year for activities supporting primary, secondary and tertiary education, and events promoting the discussion of physiology with public audiences. We are especially keen to engage hard to reach audiences.
Through this funding, we are supporting our Members to:
- Ignite an interest in physiology, amongst audiences of all ages
- Stimulate physiologists to share their stories, passion and expertise with wider audiences.
- Encourage the development of positive attitudes towards science and support teaching in biology at all levels
- Enhance communication skills of our Members and raise the profile of their research.
- Support formal and informal learning.
- Produce a legacy of ideas and activities that can continue to be used for further public engagement and outreach work.

I'm part of a couple of "virtual garage sale" groups on FB. A couple of them are pregnancy/baby specific and I got a bunch of maternity clothes from some of the local mommy's for very cheap, garage sale prices.
I've also gotten stuff for baby too. She has a nice stash of Jordan sneakers and UGG boots to show for it. LOL Yikes! I got my DD's walker for $5 on one of those sites and it was in excellent condition.

PUBLISHED November 12, 2011 0 1 / 5 Battered Volcano Rainbow colors reveal elevation changes as the Tharsis Tholus volcano rises from the surrounding terrain on Mars, seen in a newly released picture from the European Space Agency's Mars Express orbiter.The volcano towers almost 5 miles (8 kilometers) and spreads more than 96 by 77 miles (155 by 125 kilometers) at its base. In addition to its deep, crater-like caldera—formed when the central magma chamber collapsed—the volcano suffered from collapses on its eastern and western flanks that created vertical cliffs several kilometres high.

Berlin/DLR/ESA Eagle's Claw Dense pillars of gas and dust rise from the Eagle Nebula, an active star-forming region in the constellation Serpens, in a long-exposure picture recently submitted to National Geographic's Your Shot. (See a closeup of one of the Eagle's pillars from the Hubble Space Telescope.)The picture was taken from Rapid City, South Dakota, using a camera mounted to a telescope and fitted with special filters for blocking light pollution. Capturing this shot of the nebula from 6,500 light-years away required an exposure time of ten hours.

Scientists aren't yet sure what forms the shallow, rimless depressions, but it's possible the hollows are being created by currently active geologic processes.

The hot gas is seen in x-rays (blue) while the surrounding cooler gas and dust of the nebula appears in infrared (orange).More than 2,400 stars in the nebula are producing intense radiation and powerful stellar winds, creating shock fronts in the nebula that drive the superheated gas.(Related pictures: "Ten Spooky Objects in Outer Space.")

Tsatsa's Buleg Group
Tsatsral has been supporting her family by operating a clothing retail stall at Mongolia's largest outdoor market for six years, with the help of her spouse. She usually sells women's clothes, which she imports from Ereen, a border city between Mongolia and China. As she is a friendly person, she already has her own constant customers. Tsatsral wants to expand her business in order to increase her working capital.
So she is requesting a 1,800,000 MNT (Mongolian Tugriks) loan to purchase clothes from Ereen city to sell during this high shopping season. Her long-term goal is to improve her living conditions by renovating her current small ger.
She is a group leader and she has her hand up in the picture.
Additional Information
About TranscapitalTranscapital is one of the leading non-bank financial institutions (NBFI) in Mongolia. Through 12 branches, it serves mainly urban and semi-urban microfinance clients, including a growing number of migrants in the capital city of Ulaanbaatar. Of its clients, almost 68% are women and 60% live in ger districts, settlements made up of houses and traditional Mongolian felt tents that lack basic infrastructure.
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.

I'm not really sure where to look, but here is dmesg from workstation where sound isn't working: http://pastebin.com/tw29guqD
whenever I go to System -> Preference -> Sound -> Output on broken workstation I only see "HDA NVidia Digital Stereo (HDMI)" and my old/onboard sound card is missing.
I actually did roll out of same Video Card to more then just 2 workstation, I did that to a 5. Only 2 of them sound working as expected. 1 of them didn't even needed to install nVidia drivers but that workstation running slightly newer OS version 6.1 instead of rest 6.0, so I'm back to where I started it ... clueless ;(

Drifting Horizon by Alex37Watch
©2009-2016 Alex37
The sunrise occurred as the mist started to drift off the moors, turning to cloud as it went cascading down the hillsides.
This was taken up as Roos Tor.
This was taken up as Roos Tor.
great lighting and colors, I like those low lying clouds in the background
beautiful lightning...
Knowing a little something about being out on a cold morning, I'm going to wager that the sun on your back while a bit weak probably felt pretty dang good about then. Lovely image.
ah well it was a summers morning, so it was cool, but pleasant, the warmth of the sun was nonetheless great!
This scene is so incredibly beautiful.
SO Beautiful! Excellent shot.
Wow! Great scene and shot. Thank you for sharing it. My sure
I love the clarity and warm colours in the foreground
Great! I wish I had this sort of scenery around here too.
amazing shot
The low clouds are really beautiful but I feel like there is going to little attention towards it as the rock formation is to dominant in the composition. But most of all the scene is very wonderful!
yes, perhaps the drifting cloud/mist is the most interesting part of the shot, but really I was trying to use it as a backdrop to the stones. Thanks for the point of critique
This particular shot just transports me there - I can totally envision being there and how the rising sun would feel. Awesome job!
Very proper exposure and natural light .
Beautiful light and the mist is very surreal like Hougaard said, well done Alex!
Ahhhhh, love this.
I love the warm light hitting those rocks Oh and the mist is really cool in the BG
IIIIIIIIIIIII like it mang. Good work. The mist looks very surreal as such a thick blanket.
Thanks hougaard, you thug you
Strikes me.
simply beautiful!

How's Foo tonite? I'm trying - and keeping my angst under control due to roommate over dominance and I'm trying to get my next two days of food prepped and ugh - he's been to Pier One and bought stuff and stuff and stuff and here for plants and plants and plants ... good lawd.
<sip> drinking this funky beer - called ""Moo Thunder" - it's a stout (a very light stout in my opinion), rather light body but with a definite thick molasses kinda taste and leaving no after taste. Gets a thumbs up from me. Guess I'll have to go back to the store and purchase a six to take to my camping trip tomorrow as one couple that will be there are definite beer lovers.
"MooOOoooOooOoo" THUNDA!!!!
OK - off to pack some more stuff

My nutrition blind spot - milk chocolate boxes
Tuesday, January 10, 2012
I'm doing this as part of my spark diet plan in stage three - writing about a trouble goal. This is not so much a goal as it is an area of my diet that has taken a terrible beating since Christmas and the surprisingly large amount of boxes of chocolates that I have received......and managed to guzzle down before realizing how much i've actually eaten!
So here is the strategy for survival and forgiveness (taken directly from the diet plan, stage three)
1 - stay positive
A setback is only a problem is it keeps you sitting down, right? I have managed not to allow these chocolate binges to go over my calorie limit, so I'm still fitting them into my diet even if I'm not happy about the other nutritious food i've had to sacrifice for it. The fact that I still track it has probably stopped me from finished boxes of the stuff and ending up in serious trouble!! Soon, the giving season will be over and the chocolate boxes will stop arriving - and the next time they come along I will be better prepared to know how to manage them!!
2 - trust your plan
I love chocolate and have kept it in my nutrition plan by allowing myself only really dark, really expensive chocolate. This has enabled me to keep the number of chocolates that I eat down to just one or two, which is a very manageable amount. However, these milk chocolates that I have been receiving do not have the same 'stop eating' effect as the darker stuff I have been buying myself. So, I think I need to leave any future boxes of chocolate in the staff kitchen for sharing. That will mean that I can still eat a few, but share the rest with others. I prefer that idea to simply throwing the boxes out - that is a pretty harsh way to do things, but something i have had to resort to over the last few weeks. i need to remember my plan because it works - dark chocolate only!! When at work and tempted by the sweet treats, remind myself that there is a gorgeous piece of dark chocolate waiting for me at home that i will enjoy so much more.
3 - believe in yourself
Ah. Easy to forget this one, isn't it? Can I walk away from the chocolate boxes - of course i can - one step at a time with as little analysis as possible until i'm somewhere else and thinking about something else.
4 - give yourself good reasons to keep going
Reason one - I'm really happy with the way I look right now and with the success of following the diet plan for the last three months. I want to keep it up!
Reason two - spa break with my husband in two weeks - i want to wear a bikini!! (Is that a good reason?)
Reason three - I feel so much better when I eat nutritious food. I want to eat more of that!
So I'll start my day today with those thoughts in my mind!!

Five financial frights and what to do about them
By Deanne Gage, BrighterLife.ca
Ghosts and goblins may no longer keep you up at night, but here are five financial frights that might.
1. You're afraid fluctuating markets will wipe out your retirement savings
One day the TSX is up, the next day, it's down. But giving into your emotions is the worst thing to do, notes Jim Yih, an Edmonton-based financial educator who writes a blog called Retire Happy.
"Just pause, take a step back and think before you react," he says. "If you look at any downturn in the market, it always comes back." Still, review your asset allocation mix regularly (what portion of your portfolio is in equities versus fixed income and cash). "A balanced asset mix will help temper the volatility," Yih says, noting that someone who is close to retirement should have less equity exposure.
2. You're worried you're spending more than you're earning
We all know the solution: Spend less than we earn. "We can blame our debt on stores, financial institutions and corporations, but at some point in time, we have to be accountable," says Yih.
He recommends writing down all of your expenses, no matter how mundane, and keeping all of your receipts. Only then will you know where the money is going and what you're spending too much money on.
Besides reducing expenses, you could try some creative ways to come up with additional cash. For instance, Yih once bought a $1,500 barbecue, but instead of simply laying down the credit card, he sold some stuff in his garage to come up with the money.
3. You're concerned you aren't saving enough for your child's education
Open a Registered Education Savings Plan at your local financial institution pronto. Along with what you save, you'll get an annual grant from the federal government of 20% of your contributions, to a maximum of $500 a year. Why leave free money on the table?
"Start saving early, even if it's only $50 a month," says Mike Holman, who writes the Money Smarts Blog, focused on personal finance.
Short on cash? Ask grandparents or other relatives to contribute to the RESP in lieu of giving you gifts, Holman suggests. Older children can also help contribute by working part-time during the school year and during the summer months. And have them apply for scholarships and bursaries — many are community-based and are not necessarily based on having straight A's, says Holman.
Finally, Holman says there's always the "pay-as-they-go" method. If you concentrate on paying down your mortgage when your kids are young, you'll have extra money to help pay for their education by the time they're ready to go off to college.
4. You're unsure you have enough insurance to protect your family
We've all heard the stories. A woman breaks both legs while cliff-diving near a tropical resort and has to fork over thousands of dollars to pay for the cost of surgery. A man suffers a spinal cord injury, leaving him unable to work and support his family.
You may have travel, life and disability insurance through your employer, but be sure to check the fine print. Is your income protected for the long term? You may need to supplement those policies with your own individual coverage.
5. You're worried you may lose your job
Want to be valuable to your employer? Think of the bottom line. "You have to find ways to tie your responsibility to the profit margin and finds ways to streamline processes and procedures," says Melanie Benwell, managing director at PathWorks Personnel.
If you score a major achievement, tell your manager. "You want to show that you're adding value. If you don't sell yourself, nobody else will," she explains. While these tips won't guarantee job security, "you can at least take those achievements and accomplishments to help you land your next job."
There's nothing like taking action to dispel fear. Sleep soundly by assessing your needs and making sure you've taken the necessary steps to protect yourself and your family.

Salom Group
She runs a pan-dukan on the village roadside. She is pictured with her hand raised and she is the featured borrower member for Salom Group. The group comprises 14 members and they are cooperative and supportive of each member with respect to financial stability and moral ground. They live in a village that is about 35 kms away from the capital town of Manipur.
Agui runs the shop on the main road lane of the village. The shop was built by her father and his friend three years back. She sells pan, tobacco nuts, tobacco leaves, cigarettes, local cigarettes, sachet shampoo, sweets, candies, detergent soap, detergent powder, etc. She says, village farmers usually stop at her shop to buy pan and cigarettes to take them to their field, and while returning from the fields they stop again for pan and cigarettes. Agui shares that villagers love chewing pan and smoking cigarettes as it is affordable for all.
She wants a loan from Kiva to get more stock for her shop. The present income is insufficient to get abundant supplies as she also shares family financial problems. Therefore she is planning to get more supplies like bathing soap and more pan items like tobacco nuts and leaves. She has plans to expand her pan shop into a grocery shop in the future. The lack of a big grocery shop in the village creates lots of hassles for the villagers as they had to travel to the main town market for grocery items. She is happy that her plans will be fulfilled and thanks Kiva and WSDS for the support.
The rest of the group members are engaged in running tea-stalls, selling chives, weaving and farming.
Additional Information
More information about this loan
This loan is part of WSDS's effort to reach some of the most underserved parts of India's troubled northeast region, where there is very poor penetration of both formal and informal financial services. By supporting this loan, you are enabling access to finance for women living in some of India's most remote areas.
Important note about this loanDue to Indian government regulations, if you fund this loan, you will not be repaid for at least 3 years. This borrower will likely repay your loan much sooner than that, in which case, the Field Partner may re-loan your funds to help other local borrowers. We want you to be aware of this minimum 3-year waiting period and the associated risks before making a loan to Indian borrowers on Kiva. Learn More >
About WSDS-Initiate
WSDS-Initiate is an inclusive nonprofit that works with women across all tribes and minority communities in Manipur, located in the remote northeast region of India. Most organizations concentrate their work in the plains region of Manipur, but WSDS is among the very few organizations serving women in the isolated hills. Political unrest and frequent economic blockades in the area make it very difficult to provide services, resulting in Manipur having the lowest penetration of financial services in the country.
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.

MOHNTON, Pa. (AP) — Antron Brown raced to the No. 1 qualifying position in Top Fuel at the Auto-Plus NHRA Nationals at Maple Grove Raceway on Saturday.
Brown recorded the quickest pass in a Top Fuel dragster in NHRA history when he had a 3.766 at 325.30 mph during Saturday's final qualifying efforts.
The pass will earn him the new national E.T. record and a 20-point bonus as long as no one betters the run during Sunday's eliminations.
Johnny Gray (Funny Car), Jason Line (Pro Stock) and Hector Arana Jr. (Pro Stock Motorcycle) also took advantage of the fast conditions at the NHRA Full Throttle Drag Racing Series Event, as they raced to the No. 1 qualifying positions in their respective categories.
