Virgen De Los Angeles De Huayllacocha Group
Zoila is the president of the group. She is 60-years old, widowed, and has three adult children who are married and live on their own. Zoila makes a living selling jora, the fermented corn used to make a traditional Andean corn drink called chicha. She sells jora in the marketplace of Izcuchaca, a nearby transportation and commerce hub about a 20-minute drive from her rural town of Huayllacocha. In addition to selling jora, Zoila buys fava beans, barley, and wheat from local farms to sell in the markets.
She will use this loan to buy dried corn so that she can sell greater quantities of jora and other grain products in the marketplace.

Additional Information
Important InformationAbout Asociación Arariwa
Asociación Arariwa is a large non-governmental organization that started offering microcredit in 1994 to improve the quality of life, skills and equity of the population in the rural Cusco region of Peru. Arariwa serves the southern Andean provinces of Peru, and is distinguished by its efforts to reach the very poor, who often live in isolated rural areas. Arariwa fosters village banking, supports savings accounts, promotes access to education, and empowers women entrepreneurs (who make up 78% of its borrowers).
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.

We found 73 images on this web page.
54 ALT attributes are empty or missing.

Alternative text (the alt attribute) is missing for several images. Add alternative text so that search engines can better understand the content of your images.
Remember that search engine crawlers cannot actually "see" images, so the alternative text attribute allows you to assign a specific description to each image. They are also used by screen readers to help provide some context for the visually impaired.
Adding alternative text can help to reinforce how relevant a page is to its target keywords, while also making images more likely to be displayed in the Google™ Images search results.
Check the images on your website and make sure effective alternative text is specified for each image.
Restrict the number of characters in alt text to 150, including spaces, and minimize the size of images to optimize your website's page load times.
WWW Resolve
Warning, no 301 redirects are in place to redirect traffic to your preferred domain. Pages that load successfully both with and without www. are treated as duplicate content!
Be sure that www.newaupair.com and newaupair.com are not running in parallel.
Redirecting requests from a non-preferred hostname is important because search engines consider URLs with and without "www" as two different websites.
You should first set your preferred domain in Google Search Console (formerly Webmaster Tools), then use a 301 redirect to divert traffic from your non-preferred domain.
IP Canonicalization
Be careful, your server IP is not forwarding to your website's domain name. Search engines like Google™ are now able to index your website with its IP instead of its domain name. This will result in duplicate content.
To check this for your website, enter your IP address in the browser and see if your site loads with the IP address. Ideally, the IP should redirect to your website's URL or to a page from your website hosting provider.
If it does not redirect, you should do an htaccess 301 redirect to make sure the IP does not get indexed.
Great, your website has a robots.txt file.
A robots.txt file allows you to restrict the access of search engine robots that crawl the web and it can prevent these robots from accessing specific directories and pages. It also specifies where the XML sitemap file is located.
You can check for errors in your robots.txt file using Google Search Console (Formerly Webmaster Tools) by selecting 'Robots.txt Tester' under 'Crawl'. This also allows you to test individual pages to make sure that Googlebot has the appropriate access.
XML Sitemap
Your website does not have an XML sitemap - this can be problematic.
A sitemap lists URLs that are available for crawling and can include additional information like your site's latest updates, frequency of changes and importance of the URLs. This allows search engines to crawl the site more intelligently.
We recommend that you generate an XML sitemap for your website and submit it to both Google™ Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools. It is also good practice to specify your sitemap's location in your robots.txt file.
It's important to only include pages that you want the search engines to crawl, so avoid any that have been blocked via your robots.txt file. Check the URLs to ensure that none of them cause redirects or return error codes. This includes being consistent with your URLs, for example, including your preferred URLs (with or without www.), including the correct protocol (http or https) and making sure URLs all end with or without a trailing slash.
URL Rewrite
Warning! We've detected parameters in a significant number of URLs.
Consider rewriting your URLs.
Your site's URLs contain unnecessary elements that make them look complicated. A URL must be easy to read and remember for users. Search engines need URLs to be clean and include your page's most important keywords. Clean URLs are also useful when shared on social media as they explain the page's content.
Underscores in the URLs
We found underscores in this URL and/or in your in-page URLs.

Even billionaire philanthropists want to know the secret to happiness, and a new documentary conceived by Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen aims to shed light on the answer.
What is the secret to happiness? Even billionaire philanthropists want to know.
Just in time for the post-holiday doldrums, a new documentary conceived by Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen aims to shed light on that question.
Coproduced by Allen's Vulcan Productions and NOVA/WGBH Science Unit, the three-part series, "This Emotional Life," begins tonight on PBS.
The project explores the cutting-edge science that unravels some of the mysteries of human emotion, such as how infants form early attachments that determine lifelong emotional health, and how therapists use eye movement to help people reprocess disturbing memories.

Most Read Stories
But Allen wanted to go further, pairing scientific knowledge with personal stories and practical resources to help people cope.
The project includes online tools and multimedia and kicks off a two-year outreach to young parents and military families. Parents can connect with others and get information about early learning, and military families can get support and resources to deal with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), for example.
Allen said he was pleased with the results.
"I hope everyone benefits from this series and it provokes new thoughts on how we can improve our lives," he wrote in an e-mail. "Some of the stories the participants tell us are moving examples of how we can all work at finding a better emotional balance in our lives — just like we work to get physically fit."
Hosted by Harvard psychologist Daniel Gilbert, the series covers the importance of social relationships to humans, ways to confront fear, anxiety and other obstacles, and the pursuit of happiness.
It combines personal stories of ordinary people, such as a cancer survivor, and interviews with celebrities about their emotional challenges, including actor Chevy Chase, "Seinfeld" co-creator Larry David and "CBS Evening News" anchor Katie Couric.
For Allen, whose eclectic interests include brain research and extraterrestrial life, it all started with a trip to Harvard about five years ago.
He said he was stunned to learn how many of the brightest college students took prescription drugs for depression and anxiety.
That realization turned a budding idea for a project involving mental health into plans for the documentary, said Richard Hutton, Vulcan senior executive producer.
Allen himself has had a challenging past year. In November, his sister disclosed he had been diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, a cancer similar to one he fought 25 years ago. Earlier in 2009, Charter Communications, the cable company he controls, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. It has since emerged from bankruptcy.
Asked whether making the series helped Allen personally, Hutton said. "In a way, yeah. … I hope so."
Hutton teamed with Paula Apsell, senior executive producer at NOVA/WGBH Science Unit, the same award-winning team that coproduced "Rx for Survival — A Global Health Challenge," "Evolution" and "Judgment Day: Intelligent Design on Trial."
The hard part was figuring out how to structure the series to break new ground and also provide the most useful information, Hutton said.
"We all have feelings, emotions and relationships of some kind, so we think this should be easy," he said. "Well, it was really, really hard."
Showing well-known personalities discussing their struggles might help overcome the stigmas associated with emotional issues, and help others dealing with the same issues, Hutton said.
"When people hear Chevy Chase talking about depression or [former tennis great] John McEnroe talking about anger, I think in some ways that makes it more acceptable for people to say 'I have that. I can go and look for help,' " Hutton said.
Scientists have begun to understand more about emotions, and new learning can help debunk previous assumptions about trauma and other experiences.
"For many years, people thought you just forget you went through that horrible thing in Vietnam," Hutton said. "Now the theory is to confront it, go through it, meet the experience head- on."
One person involved in cutting-edge work on human emotion is Andrew Meltzoff, professor of psychology and Tamaki Chair at the University of Washington. He codirects the UW Institute for Learning and Brain Sciences (I-LAB) and is featured in the first episode of the series.
"There has been a revolution in our understanding of our early development and its impact on lifelong psychological well-being," he said.
A child's brain develops most in the first two or three years, he said. Babies observe and learn from those around them during that period, long before they can talk.
"They're very active learners, very busy interpreting the emotional and linguistic signals we give them," Meltzoff said. "They are as carefully looking out and trying to make sense of us as we are of them."
Because humans long for attention, children ignored in orphanages can show ill effects throughout their lives. But humans also are emotionally resilient, so bonding with even one person "can help rescue a child and lead to amazing growth," Meltzoff said.
Before the series got off the ground, Meltzoff said one of the first conversations he had with Allen took place at an informal gathering of scientists and educators Allen hosted in a retreat near Seattle.
The group discussed early learning and brain science over several days.
Meltzoff called it "among the most exciting, intellectually vibrant conversations I have had."
"Paul was always jumping in with particular questions about the science and how it could be scaled up to impact society and what big questions it could address."
The series reflects Allen's personal interests; he has made a dozen documentaries, mostly about science, and gets involved in the work directly.
And what does science say about being a billionaire?
According to research on the Web site accompanying the series, money can buy happiness — as long as you give some of it away. Researchers found that happiness did correlate to higher incomes, spending money on others and giving to charity.

Californians proved last week that voters will approve of tax increases if they have assurances that elected leaders will put the additional revenues to good purposes. In an outcome that surprised many, on Tuesday Golden State voters approved the Proposition 30 ballot measure requiring a tax increase that will raise about $6 billion a year.
Gov. Jerry Brown proposed the initiative as a way of finding funding for California's public schools and university system. For years California has been cutting spending to its public schools, leading to large classroom sizes, teacher layoffs, a lack of materials, and continued use of outdated schools. It has hindered efforts at education reform. Meanwhile the state's university system, once well-regarded for being affordable to in-state students, has seen a steady rise in tuition costs and fewer admissions. Community colleges will now increase the staffing necessary to add 20,000 new students, thanks to the added revenues.
The approval of the ballot initiative increases the California state sales tax by one-quarter of 1 percent and calls for graduated state income tax increases on those making $250,000 or more.
While it may surprise some that voters anywhere would vote to impose tax increases on themselves, it seems all the more remarkable in California. Remember, this is the land of Proposition 13. Passed in 1978 it placed an arbitrary limit on increases in property taxes and required a two-thirds vote of both houses of the California legislature to pass any tax increases.
The measure produced many unintended consequences. It has retarded home sales, placed California in a state of seemingly permanent fiscal crisis and led to a hodge-podge of special taxes and fees at the local level to try to get around its revenue-restricting measures.
In another interesting development, voters there also gave Democrats two-thirds control of both houses of the California legislature, providing that party the ability to raise taxes without Republican votes. But Gov. Brown said he would block any efforts to use the supermajority for a spending spree or to boost taxes to support it, mindful that such a move could be seen as an affront to voters who just approved the Proposition 30 tax measure.
The larger context, however, is that the California vote challenges the notion that voters never, ever want to see taxes increased. In reality, a majority of voters recognize that taxes sometimes have to go up. It is a lesson that should guide the debate soon to come in Washington about how to slow the growth of the federal deficit and begin to get the U.S. budget in balance. Both pre-election and exit polls showed a majority of voters support President Obama's call to allow the income tax rate on wealthier individuals to return to a pre-Bush level.
While not as dramatic as the California vote, we noted last week that Connecticut Republicans, in an effort to win seats in the state House and Senate, had campaigned against the tax increases approved under Gov. Dannel P. Malloy's administration to address this state's fiscal crisis. The strategy produced no net gain for Republicans in a Connecticut General Assembly still controlled by the Democratic Party.
At any level of government a balanced approached is best when it comes to tax and spending policies. How best to achieve that balance, however, is where political ideologies clash. California voters have mandated that more revenues are necessary to provide better balance there. Now it is time for Republicans in Washington to recognize, in the wake of the president's victory, that when it comes to tax policy they have to give a little too.

It doesn't look like much to most drivers using it, but the Cougar Creek Bridge stands in rare company.
The short span along Northeast Washougal River Road is one of just two remaining wooden bridges maintained by Clark County.
By this summer, that number falls to one. The county's public works department plans to demolish Cougar Creek Bridge, replacing the more than 75-year-old span with a longer, wider, more structurally sound successor. Drivers will certainly notice construction impacts in the meantime; the work will completely close a section of Washougal River Road for up to three months.
A routine inspection of the bridge in 2010 found "significant rot" in its wood supports, said county project manager Jean Singer. Crews completed repairs later that year. But a federal grant award soon prompted the county to pull the trigger on a full-scale, concrete-and-steel replacement, she said.
"It's a 75-year-old bridge," Singer said. "It's toward the end of its life."
County officials stressed that the bridge is perfectly stable and safe. But Singer noted that replacement eventually trumps continued maintenance as the most sensible way forward.
"There's only so much you can do," she said.
The project is expected to cost $1.08 million, according to the county. About 80 percent of that will be covered by the federal Bridge Replacement Advisory Committee grant program. Several other Clark County bridges will benefit from that award, announced in 2010.
The Cougar Creek Bridge is northeast of Washougal, about 1.4 miles west of the Washougal River Road-Vernon Road intersection. That's a project site with plenty of complications, forcing crews to impact two waterways: Cougar Creek and the nearby Washougal River. Rocky terrain in the area made it difficult to avoid closing the road entirely, Singer said.
"Literally, we were between a rock and a hard place," Singer said. "Our opportunities for building a detour or doing this in pieces were very limited."
Environmental rules typically limit in-water construction work to the month of August. Clark County has applied for an extension, Singer said, hoping to start sooner.
When Washougal River Road closes, it will sever a thoroughfare used by 3,400 vehicles daily, according to the county. Public works officials have reached out to affected residents and agencies, Singer said, and will continue to do so throughout the project.
At least one agency is watching closely: East County Fire & Rescue, which frequently uses Washougal River Road in responding to traffic accidents and other emergency calls, said Chief Scott Koehler. The department has been notified by the county, and will simply maneuver around the work site when the time comes, he said.
"The plan is just basically figure out what side of the construction the incident is on, and send the closest engine," Koehler said. "We'll make sure we get a rig out there."
That will make giving specific locations very important for callers reporting an incident or emergency, Koehler said. The agency operates stations on both sides of the Cougar Creek Bridge.
"You don't always get the closest engine that you would day to day," Koehler said, "but you get the closest engine that has access."
For residents and commuters, the detour will depend on the destination, Singer said. Washougal River Road is accessible by a handful of connecting roads from the south, plus state Highway 14 and Salmon Falls Road from the east.
The project's exact schedule isn't set just yet. Planners hope to finish the permitting process this spring, then get in and done as soon as possible, Singer said. Incentives for finishing quickly may be written into the building contract when the project goes out to bid, she said.
The Cougar Creek Bridge is likely to be gone by this summer. Though it was built in 1935, the bridge doesn't qualify as historically significant. Much of it was rebuilt in 1959.

i just noticed the other day that i have two holes in my tail gate behind the spare tire. is there supposed to something plugging these holes so that water doesn't get in there?
I have rubber grommets on each side of the spare. On the left, the power wire for the third brake light comes out of it.. I'm not sure what the one on the right is for.
J/K!! :rofl: Sorry, I couldn't resist!
I use one of the grommets for my CB antenna cord.

- Headquarters: Atlanta, Georgia
Mothology.com is an online store with fine vintage furnishings and inspired decor objects from many countries. We travel the world on pilgrimages to search for the unique and unusual. Our vintage decorative objects can add to many room designs and evoke emotions. We love the hunt. We've recovered old bee's hives from fields in Northern Europe and, in the farmhouses, found ledgers and letters penned long ago still folded in their tender envelopes. We are designers and manufacturers of furnishings, lighting products, mirrors and garden accessories. We also design and fabricate linens, paper products, glassware and metal objects. Mothology provides a customer login for ease of shopping and a mailing list for new and existing customers to receive information on future product lines and sale items. Mothology has a unique environment with a scratch-dent store available to visit in the west midtown area of Atlanta by appointment only. Please email: firstname.lastname@example.com for details.
Mothology feels a bit like Anthropologie's rebellious, slightly gothic, older sister. With a mix of vintage finds and handcrafted wares with a rough hewn quality, every piece promises to bring a little character to your home and even shake things up a bit.
Mothology both travels to find antiquities to incorporate into their shop, they also design and create their own in lines in-house. This two fold approach allows them to both collect and cultivate an aesthetic that is all their own. With everything from hand-painted dishes and talon candlesticks to ornately carved mirrors and furniture upholstered in linen, if you are looking for pieces that standout this is a great place to start looking.

Atlanta, GA (AP) - Georgia parents soon may have the option of
forcing school districts to adopt drastic reforms to turn around troubled schools.
A bill introduced in the Georgia Legislature this week would mirror the so-called "parent trigger" law passed in California last year. It would allow parents to petition local districts to overhaul schools that consistently fall below federal benchmarks.
Parents can choose among converting the school to a charter,
replacing all the staff or even closing it.
The California law is already under legal challenge by families who say district officials have tried to thwart a move to convert a failing Compton elementary school into a charter school.
The Georgia bill is being sponsored by Senate Majority Leader Chip Rogers.

As an intro to our site, we would like to give you a glimpse of what's in store for you. We have compiled some very important facts about bird nest boxes and feeders. Remember this is just a start of your journey and we are hoping that you also share your knowledge with us.
When to Put Nest Boxes Up
Most people set up nest boxes as soon as spring time comes. This is so that they are all set for the breeding season. On the other hand, this is not the BEST time to do so. We suggest that nest boxes are set up during autumn season. The reason for this is to provide the winter shelters for roosting birds. This will give a higher chance of them nesting and staying. However, boxes erected during mid-February will have a good change of occupancy. Even when March comes, there are still hope of being occupied.
Where to Put Nest Boxes
This aspect is as important as, if not more, the time when to put nest boxes. Nest boxes have to be situated on a comfortable and safe environment. These have to be placed somewhere far from the predators and with relatively good weather conditions. This is a bit difficult to achieve but it can be done.
Managing a Nest Box
For a good nest box, cleaning is not a burden. It only needs to be cleaned once during autumn. One rule of thumb is to NOT clean such boxes before the first of August. The boxes may be occupied and this is against the law. After autumn has passed, then you can eliminate the contents of the box but it is at the utmost importance that the box needs to be vacant. Disseminate the insides of the box and put it on the ground. Make sure it's far from the box to ensure that parasites will not re-infiltrate it. Make sure to clean it right away to save the nest box.
This site is filled with important information which we can share.

Security Holes: Bugzilla Recommends Update
The developers of the free bug tracking system, Bugzilla, advise users of older versions to update for security reasons.
Various branches of the Web-based system maintained by the project are affected: one vulnerability allows attackers exploit the "buildid" entry of a form for bug reporting to launch a cross-site scripting attack. Additionally, a call to "Email::Send::Sendmail()" can be exploited to inject malicious code.
Finally, a bug in the Web service interface (XML-RPC) gives a user access the time tracking entries for all reported bugs, even if the user does not have appropriate privileges.
The developers advise users with version 2.20.x or 2.22.x to update to version 2.20.5 or 2.22.3 respectively. Users with version 3.0 or 2.18.x should move to version 3.0.1. More recent versions are not affected by the bugs. Bugzilla offers a download here.

Kids' Choice Awards 2015: Nick Jonas Gets Slimed and More! (PHOTOS)
You may not be too jealous of Nick Jonas this time! The singer got covered in slime while hosting Nickelodeon's 28th Annual Kids' Choice Awards at The Forum in Inglewood, California on March 28. Spoiler alert — he wears green goo pretty well!
The 22-year-old star wasn't the only celeb to get messy during the show. The Modern Family cast also took part in the Nickelodeon tradition while accepting the award for Favorite TV Show. Shawn Mendes, Josh Gad, and more were also covered in slime by the end of the night.
Which other celebs attended? Angelina Jolie stepped out for the show, where she accepted the award for Favorite Villain for her role in of Maleficent. Her kids, Shiloh and Zahara, looked so proud of mama while hugging her in some adorable photos from the event! Meghan Trainor also went to the awards, but she was certainly not all about that slime, seeing as she looked nice and clean for the red carpet.

text: Maybe not appropriate for this section but it's a distance related question. I would like to know why the padding in bike shorts goes so far to the front for men? I have tried several different shorts from different manufacturers and all seem to feel the same other than overall fit (sizes). I'm okay on say a 30-60 mile run but once I cross that 60mi mark I start feeling like I'm all bunched up down there and if the padding didn't go so far as to cover my privates I think there would be more room for movement? Are there any shorts out there that have padding only under your sit bones? Maybe a hybrid that would have the thick padding under you butt and about half way to your privates more of a tri-short type thin padding that is flexible? I have been training for a century and this is one area of comfort I need to address to help me get there along with reducing leg cramps which I have posted about earlier in the week and have a game plan to ease cramping. I thought about trying to remove the padding in the front section of my shorts but they were a bit pricey and I'd hate to ruin them. Any suggestions would be appreciated, Thanks!

Abstract7xxx series aluminum alloys are widely used for structural components of aircraft such as wing spars due to their high specific strength. Unfortunately, tempering most 7xxx series alloys to peak strength results in susceptibility to stress corrosion cracking (SCC). Despite utilizing the best available surface treatments, SCC results in unscheduled maintainence of naval aircraft. QuesTek Innovations LLC, a leader in the emerging field of computational materials design, is uniquely suited to design an SCC-resistant, high-strength aluminum alloy for the aerospace industry. QuesTek has experience commerciallizing high-performance stainless and gear steel alloys, and QuesTek has developed extensive mechanistic process – structure and structure – property models specific to 7xxx series alloys. These models include custom thermodynamic and kinetic databases, well-calibrated microstructural evolution models utilizing PrecipiCalc software, and a validated, physics-based strength model. The overall goal of this SBIR program is to design and develop an advanced, high-strength aluminum alloy with improved SCC resistance compared to commercially available Al alloys. To demonstrate the feasibility applying Materials by Design® approach during Phase I, QuesTek plans to develop a qualitative model for SCC of aluminum alloys; design model alloys to achieve the 7075-T6 strength with maximum SCC-resistance; and produce and characterize these model alloy designs.

Undercover deputies seized thousands of dollars worth of bath salts in Pitt County as a new state law now makes them illegal in North Carolina.
Over the past several months bath salts have become popular as some people would smoke or snort the product.
Pitt County deputies visited several stores on Wednesday. Some still had the products on their shelves for sale, while others had the now-illegal substances boxed up to be sent back to distributors. Deputies confiscated it all, but did not arrest anyone.

Why not buy into $5.25 per share PUBLIC offering or better yet wait until price goes under private offering? Why was offering made at 18% discount. Discounts over 10% are extremely rare.
Offering is more con job, trying to stabilize at 5.25.
Huh??? Discounts of 10% are commonplace.
As for trading ABOVE the offering? Well that is what Roth is paid to accomplish while the offering is active. Another reason is 99.999% of investors do not have the insight to buy stocks this way. And finally...Short Traders are covering here since there is no downside possibility for about a month, depending on the deal struck between Roth and CITM. Sitting around here watching their money collect dust does not pay the bills...Not to mention the Upside risk they face from an extremely LOW FLOAT stock.
Any minor PR that improves the bottom line growth will rip the Shorts as we saw a month ago.

With the momentum Juniper Networks currently is enjoying and the availability of an executive like Microsoft's Kevin Johnson, the time was right for Chairman and CEO Scott Kriens to give up day-to-day operations.
Juniper just recorded a second quarter that exceeded Wall Street expectations, and raised its guidance for the third quarter and the rest of the year. Apparently, the sluggish economy in the United States and abroad is having little impact on Juniper's ability to execute.
And execution is the key behind the company's selection of Johnson, president of Microsoft's Platforms and Services Division, as its new CEO effective Sept. 8. Johnson had been at Microsoft 16 years, experiencing and contributing to the company's ascension from a 6,000-employee Juniper-sized enterprise to the $60 billion, 79,000-employee behemoth it is now.
"He's run a $40 billion sales organization in technology, he's run one of the largest development organizations in the world, he's run Microsoft's online business, he's executed an operating systems strategy," Kriens said in an interview. "And when he started at Microsoft, it was smaller than Juniper. He's seen the places that we're going," he said.
Kriens says Juniper wasn't explicitly looking for a CEO, but "the best executive on the planet." He says the timing worked out in that Johnson was at a crossroads in his own career, having just suffered through Microsoft's unsuccessful attempt to acquire Yahoo in an effort to better compete with Google for online advertising revenue.
Indeed, if Microsoft was successful and Johnson stayed on, Kriens may not have relinquished his CEO duties.
"If I would not have found a Kevin Johnson, I would have hired a COO or somebody in a development capacity that I would have grown into the job," Kriens says. Microsoft lured away Juniper's COO, Stephen Elop, earlier this year.
Kriens dismisses suggestions that hiring a Microsoft executive implies that Juniper's own software ambitions would move up the stack from its JUNOS operating system into networked applications. He says Johnson's appointment is indicative more of an "awareness" of the application layer rather than intentions to develop and productize applications themselves.
("Juniper's looking to go further into the stack" through application acceleration and deep packet inspection "rather than moving up," says Frank Dzubeck, president of consultancy Communications Network Architects.)
That Johnson comes from one of the leading software companies for enterprises is no accident, however. Kriens says Johnson's relationship with the largest enterprises in the world is where Juniper wants to be.
"Kevin has sat in the strategic-partner chair in the largest enterprise relationships in the world," Kriens says. "That's a place we want to occupy."
Juniper's been gaining some headway there. Enterprise sales were up 29% in Juniper's second quarter, and the company already has landed 100 customers and $10 million in revenue for its EX series of LAN switches, which debuted earlier this year.
Johnson's experience in running Microsoft's online operations didn't hurt either, nor does his background in cloud computing, especially where Juniper's data-center aspirations are concerned.
"The world of managing the resources for compute and storage in the proverbial cloud, and what that service could evolve to become -- he's right in the middle of all those things," Kriens says.
That said, Kriens doesn't see a need to respond to this week's merger between Brocade and Foundry Networks by obtaining Fibre Channel or Fibre Channel-over-Ethernet expertise either organically or inorganically.
"We've never built a strategy on what other vendors have done," Kriens says. "We've always been better served building our strategies around what our customers tell us to do."
Now that Johnson is about to take the helm, Juniper will be hearing from a lot more enterprise customers, analysts note.
"Juniper was getting beat up for the last couple of years about not having a complete enterprise story," says Dave Passmore, research director at The Burton Group. "Now they're being taken much more credibly as an enterprise player and as an alternative to Cisco. There's a lot that Juniper could do to capitalize on that."

How to Trade Options for a Living
Option trading provides the advantage of flexibility that ordinary share trading does not. This is because options have so many more variables than just buying shares and selling for a profit. You can use these variables to your advantage.

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 a good charting package so you can track the price of shares visually. A good broker will provide this, but there are free versions available, too, such as http://www.bigcharts.com or http://www.incrediblecharts.com.
2Be prepared to draw parallel lines. This way you can tell when a stock is "channeling." This means that the stock's daily highs and lows remain within a particular price distance of each other. These channels can either be ascending (rising over time), horizontal (neither rising nor falling over time) or descending (falling over time). Ascending and descending channels have opposite "slopes." Not all stocks channel, but many do. Look for these.
3Be able to draw horizontal lines that mark out "support" and "resistance" levels where a stock has broken through or settled upon a given price mark.
4Look for shares that have options on them. Not all shares do, so you need to know these. Your broker or stock exchange can provide you this information.
5You also need to be able to compare "daily" and "weekly" charts, to determine where a stock currently is in its longer-term direction. See if you can draw parallel lines (and thus detect channeling) over the weekly charts.
6Determine where a stock currently is within the channel. You may even have a "channel within a channel". First determine the strength (slope) of the larger channel. Then you can tell the reliability of the more immediate channel to "do its thing."
7If the channel is telling you the stock should rise, you want to buy call options with at least 45 days until expiry. If the signals are telling you the stock should fall, then you buy put options. The best places to buy are at the tops or bottoms of channels, but first wait for the "bounce" to validate your expectations. If the stock breaks through the channel, take an opposite position.
8Options provide you with far more leverage than shares and are far safer to trade than Contracts For Difference (CFDs). They give you the flexibility of holding an "each way" position if you like, because you can hold both call and put options at the same time for the same strike price and expiry date or any variation thereof.
9Understand that your profits will be far greater with much less capital risk by trading options than if you owned the actual stock.
Community Q&A
Ask a Question
- If the stock reaches the bottom of a channel, a good strategy is to buy an "out of the money" call option, because you're expecting it to bounce upward. If instead it continues to fall, then you buy an "out of the money" put option and make a profit from that. This will usually cover your loss on the failed call option. Quite often when the stock retraces or bounces back you'll make a profit on the call options. The reverse applies for the top of a channel.
- Understanding option volatility is important. You want to ensure that you're not paying too much for an option contract. Since the options market is based on another market but not rigidly linked to it in terms of price, you can find overpriced and underpriced options, especially when they're "out of the money". Beware of these.
Things You'll Need
- A good broker who allows you to trade options and gives you the chance to place your trades online.
- A charting package, whether you buy one or use one of the free, web-based versions.

New Delhi, March 24 (IANS) He admits that the condition of film technicians in India is 'pathetic', but Oscar-winning sound designer Resul Pookutty says he would still prefer staying and working in the country rather than chase international projects.
'Something that is always to be remembered is that it was my work in India that got me an Oscar and not my work in the West. I have no qualms about people (from the West) chasing me now (for projects) but when you go there, the whole dynamics of work change for you and I don't want to be in such a situation,' Pookutty told IANS in an interview here.
'I want to live and work here in my own country and pass on whatever I have learnt so far to the next generation. Yes, may be 10 years down the line, if I get an opportunity to head West, I might think about it but not now,' he said.
Pookutty won an Oscar along with Richard Pryke and Ian Tapp for best sound mixing in Danny Boyle's multiple award-winning 'Slumdog Millionaire' at the 81st Annual Academy Awards last month. But the soft-spoken sound wizard says his 'essence still lies in my roots'.
The 38-year-old, who also won a British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) award for his work in the same film, rued the condition of technicians in the country and how the contribution of a majority of them goes 'unrecognised'.
'The condition of technicians in our country was pathetic until before (the Oscars). The technicians in the industry have long been underestimated, as we are used to recognising only glamorous people. They have been denied the public forum since a long time,' he said.
But didn't the Oscars bring a change in his life?
'Yes, there has been a change in my life after the Oscars but only considering the acclaim that 'Slumdog...' has brought in for our country globally. Otherwise I am the same guy and not a celebrity. I do my work the way I used to,' he said.
'I also don't want people to start expecting a lot from me now instantly. After all, even Sachin Tendulkar doesn't score centuries in every match,' the sound designer added.
Pookutty was in the capital to release K.A. Francis' book 'The Essence of Aum' at the Indira Gandhi National Centre for the Arts Monday.
Born in Anchal, Kerala, Pookutty was the youngest of eight children and had a passion for films right from his young days. His father was keen that he become a doctor, but he failed the medical entrance examination and went on to pursue his film industry dreams after studying at the Film and Television Institute of India (FTII), Pune. He also has a degree in law.
He started his career in 1995 with Rajat Kapur's never-released film 'Private Detective: Two Plus Two Plus One' and went on to design sounds for films like 'Black' (2005), 'Traffic Signal' (2007), 'Saawariya' (2007) and 'Ghajini' (2008).
Carving a niche in Bollywood was not an easy task for him.
'I was always trying to do a particular kind of work but mainstream cinema identified me much later. It took me almost a decade to establish myself since I started working on Rajat Kapur's 'Private Detective' in 1995 to Sanjay Leela Bhansali's 'Black' in 2005 with almost three more years to actually make a mark for myself,' Pookutty said.
'And it's not that I didn't do good work in those 13 years. Some of my very good works say for example a special film like 'Gandhi My Father' (2007) have just gone unnoticed,' he added.
As far as future projects go, Pookutty is now 'trying to finish some prior commitments' made before the Oscars like 'Rectangular Love Story', 'Pappu Can't Dance Saala', 'Rangeen In Love', 'Mocktail', 'Hawai Dada' and Bhansali's next movie.

Dvd Release Date: 2006-12-12
Genre: Comedy, Drama
Rating: PG
Duration: 1hr 37min
Ava and Tanzie Marchetta have it all. The heiresses to a multi-million dollar cosmetics company, the girls approach life as one big party. But when a scandal involving one of their products emerges, the girls are left penniless, homeless, and seemingly helpless. They could, of course, take the easy way out and listen to the board of directors who want to sell the company to their biggest competitor, but that would forever taint the name of their late father, who built it from the ground up. Instead, Ava and Tanzie decide to protect what is rightfully theirs. What it's going to take to do that will require them to do some things they've never really considered--growing up, taking initiative and responsibility, and asking for help from others, rather than expecting it to fall into their laps. If they can find their inner strength, they might be able to clear their father's name. If not, the party might be over--for good.

Woman answers to charge in crashApril 02,2013Woman answers to
charge in crash
A Brandon woman who police say was in a near head-on crash on Route 7 denied a pair of criminal charges on Monday.
Cheryl L. Barrows, 48, pleaded innocent in Rutland criminal court to misdemeanor charges of driving under the influence of drugs, second offense, and a charge of careless or negligent operation.
Barrows was arrested following a crash in November in which Pittsford police say her station wagon veered into the southbound lane of the two-lane highway and collided with the side of a pickup travelling south.
The driver of that truck, Brian Hitchako, 60, of Ballston Spa, N.Y., told police that the station wagon would have struck his vehicle head-on if he had not steered onto the roads shoulder at the last moment.
Police say a blood-alcohol test of Barrows came back clean. But Barrows told police she had taken a variety of prescription drugs before she drove and was described as being on the verge of falling asleep while she was interviewed at the hospital.MORE IN This Just In

Lovette Angelita
Bluefields, Nicaragua
Loan Overview
Repayment Schedule
Lovette Angelita Martínez D. is a 57 year old small businesswoman. She has three grown children. She is a teacher. For over 15 years she has had a dining room and a hostel, which is located in the central neighborhood in the city of Bluefields.
In her business she has several rooms, which are primarily used by the inhabitants of other communities who come to this city for business or for personal reasons. They stay in this hostel because of its location, which is by the municipal dock. That makes it easy to get on a boat to be able to return to the community they are from.
She offers three meals a day, taking advantage of the fact that the lodgers do not have family in this city and require this service. Nevertheless, the rooms in her hostel need security. They are made of wood, and in the last few months she has been repairing them little by little. Her earnings do not allow her to make a large investment.
That is the reason that she is asking for a loan to buy part of the material she needs to remodel the rooms and guarantee better service for her customers.
She needs to buy: 10 bags of cement at $10 US per bag, 60 units of blocks at $1 US for each one, 2 meters of sand at $24 US per meter, 3 "quintales" (100 pounds) of metal bars at $80 US per quintal, 2 meters of black gravel at $75 US per meter, and 2 pounds of wire at $1 US per pound.

La microempresaria: Lovette Angelita Martínez D. tiene 57 años de edad, es madre de 3 hijos, todos son mayores de edad, es profesora y tiene desde hace mas de 15 años un comedor y hospedaje ubicado en el barrio central de esta ciudad de Bluefields.
En su negocio tiene varios cuartos los cuales son utilizados principalmente por pobladores originarios de las comunidades quienes llegan a esta ciudad por razones de comercio o por asuntos personales y se ubican en este hospedaje por su ubicación contiguo al muelle municipal lo que le facilita al momento de abordar una embarcación y poder regresar a su comunidad de origen.
Ala vez les ofrece el servicio de comida los tres tiempos aprovechando que estos no tienen familiares en esta ciudad y requieren de este servicio, sin embargo los cuartos del hospedaje necesitan seguridad ya que son de madera y en los últimos meses ha estado reparándolos poco a poco ya que las ganancias no le permiten hacer una gran inversión, por tal razón esta solicitando financiamiento para comprar parte del material que requiere para remodelar sus cuartos y garantizar mejor atención a sus clientes.
Necesita comprar: 10 Bolsas de Cemento a US 10 dólares cada bolsa, 60 unidades de bloques a US 1 dólar cada uno, 2 metros de arena a US 24 dólares cada metro, 3 quintales de varillas hierro a US 80 dólares cada quintal, 2 metros de piedrín negro a US 75 dólares cada metro y 2 libras de alambre de amarre a US 1 dolara cada libra.
Additional Information
Important Information
Please note that Kiva considers loans from this Field Partner, ADEPHCA, to be particularly high risk. This organization is very small and started working with Kiva before certain core risk and due diligence policies were put into place. ADEPHCA organization would not fit under Kiva's current partnerships criteria because they do not have any audited financial statements, they do not have established internal controls, and they currently have no other sources of funding than Kiva. Kiva continues to allow ADEPHCA to raise funds on the website for two reasons. First, if Kiva were to abruptly end the partnership we believe there would be a higher risk of loss for lenders, since cutting off the Kiva funding source would put ADEPHCA in a financially distressed position. In addition, since ADEPHCA provides loans in some of the poorest and most remote areas of Nicaragua where there are almost no other options for funding, we believe these loans could still be of interest to lenders even considering the increased risk.

Sun Wins U.S. Youth Go Championships
Monday January 30, 2012
Fourteen-year-old Calvin Sun 7d reasserted his position as the strongest youth player in America this past weekend. He entered the double elimination finals for the US Youth Go Championships as one of four finalists, in the Senior Division, but went on to win every game in a dynamic show of force. Andrew Lu 6d was the only player to beat Sun in the qualifiers, also scoring a win against Hugh Zhang 7d, which gave him the top slot as the finals began. Lu started out well, defeating Zhang again in the first round of the finals, while Sun beat Matthew Harwit 4d. Round 2 saw Zhang knocking out Harwit, while Sun got even with Lu for his earlier defeat. Next Lu and Zhang squared off, but Zhang was determined not to lose a third time to Lu, and knocked him out in a strong third round showing. Zhang was now aiming for Sun again, the two boys have been rivals for years, competing in the Redmond Cup and other events since they were both small children. Sun stood his ground yet again though, knocking Zhang out in the exciting final match – and claiming the championship. The games drew over 200 spectators on KGS, and a great deal of enthusiasm from US youngsters who had competed in the qualifiers the week before. Sun will go on to represent the US at the World Youth Go Championships this summer. In the Junior Division, Aaron Ye 4d and Jeremy Chiu 4d faced off against Daniel Liu 3d and Justin Ching 1d. Ching was knocked out, setting the stage for a showdown between Liu, Chiu, and Ye. As all three boys live in the Bay Area, they will compete live at the BAGPA ratings tourney on Feb. 11. -Paul Barchilon, E-J Youth Editor. Photo by Brian Allen: Calvin Sun at the US Go Congress.
