Exclusive: Libertarians and Tea Partiers pretend they are the only Americans who believe in "limited government" as envisioned by the Framers, but that is a false conceit. The real history is that Madison and Washington devised a Constitution with broad powers to promote the "general Welfare," says Robert Parry.

Why I Wrote My New Book
Robert Parry says: From my 35 years as a Washington journalist, I have concluded that the biggest threat to America's democratic Republic is the spreading of false or misleading storylines about the nation's history. Key facts are covered up and founding principles are twisted, thus overriding the ideal of an informed electorate.
Ron Paul's Appalling World View
Exclusive: There was buzz on the Internet after libertarian Ron Paul delivered what was billed as his final address in Congress. But his near-hour-long speech sounded more like the ramblings of a right-wing crank than the coherent thoughts of the principled idealist that his fans rave about, writes Robert Parry.
Ryan's Distortion of America's Founding
Rep. Paul Ryan wraps his Ayn Randian philosophy of unrestrained selfishness in phrasing selectively lifted from the Founders, but the Republican vice presidential nominee misses the role of democracy and self-government in establishing human rights, says historian Jada Thacker.
The Constitution's Unhappy Birthday
As the U.S. Constitution reaches its 225th birthday, the democratic Republic that it made possible is facing extraordinary threats to its survival, at least as anything but a shell of its former self. The main culprit is a relentless assault by the super-rich and their political/media handmaidens, says Beverly Bandler.
A New Egyptian Government Rises
Egypt's moderate Islamist president, Mohamed Morsi, is picking his way through hot political coals as a new governing system rises from the embers of the old. But his ad hoc constitutionalism is not unprecedented; indeed, it is how the United States was forged, notes ex-CIA analyst Paul R. Pillar.
The Battle over the Constitution
Claiming to speak for the Constitution, the Right has convinced many Americans of an upside-down account of what the Framers were doing – and timid historians have let these false impressions harden into conventional wisdom. Beverly Bandler says a vigorous and honest debate about this history is needed now.
America's Founding Pragmatism
Exclusive: America's Founders were not marble statues, but rather real people facing tough challenges. To make ends meet, the esteemed Abigail Adams dabbled in black-market goods, and that kind of tough-minded pragmatism – not starry-eyed idealism – imbued the Constitution and guided the early nation, Robert Parry writes.
Romney's Upside-Down Constitution
Exclusive: Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney wowed a convention of gun enthusiasts with a flowery talk about the Constitution and his fears about what a re-elected President Obama would do to it. But Romney's speech reflected an American history that never was, reports Robert Parry.
Did the Founders Hate Government?
Exclusive: Orwell's insight – that who controls the present controls the past, and who controls the past controls the future – could apply to the American political debate in which the Right has built a false narrative that enlists the Framers of the Constitution as enemies of a strong central government, writes Robert Parry.

La Liga - Pepe and Coentrao step up return
Real Madrid were missing four first-team players from training, although there was good news regarding defenders Pepe and Fabio Coentrao.
France striker Karim Benzema, Turkey midfielder Nuri Sahin and Portugal defender Ricardo Carvalho did not join up with their national teams due to injury and, in the case of Carvalho, a decision to quit international football under current management.
The trio were well enough to train in the gym, although Spain defender Raul Albiol - who did play in the 2-0 win over the Czech Republic - is receiving treatment to a facial injury picked up in training on Sunday.
Pepe and Coentrao, meanwhile, are stepping up their recoveries from injury and trained for a second day running with reserve team players and others not selected for international duty - such as Kaka, Esteban Granero and Lassana Diarra.
The Portuguese duo are expected to be fit for the clash with Liga surprise package Real Betis at the weekend.

D.C. Mayor Vincent C. Gray says his signature jobs program is entering a new phase that will focus on job seekers who have not taken advantage of city services that link their skills with suitable employers.
Mr. Gray pitched the redoubled effort as a "major expansion" of the One City-One Hire program announced in early September.
The initiative is based loosely on a pilot program in Atlanta and asks employers in the capital region to hire at least one D.C. resident. The goal is to put 10,000 D.C. residents to work in a year.
So far, officials said, the program has enlisted more than 300 employers and helped 1,335 residents find jobs, according to city data.
"We're demonstrating that the city is a leader on this issue," Mr. Gray said.
The mayor said the program highlights a much-improved Department of Employment Services (DOES) as an agency that puts people back to work rather than as a "place you go and apply for unemployment."
In the past, the agency tended to send a large list of names to an employer regardless of their relevancy to the positions available, officials said last month after the Metro transit system joined the program.
Officials said the program is targeting job seekers in wards east of the Anacostia River, where unemployment has reached levels that are triple the national average, which was 8.6 percent in November.
The first phase of One City-One Hire focused on employers that had vacant positions and how the city could serve as a "bridge between people who have jobs and people who need jobs."
Now the city is offering registration sessions, airing public-service announcements and marketing the program in D.C. libraries to make sure unemployed people get on DOES' radar.
The PSAs featuring DOES Director Lisa Mallory will air on city cable channels, local network affiliates and radio stations, city officials said. Ms. Mallory also recorded a Spanish version.
Job seekers can sign on to the DOES database through a simple form or online.
"I think what's new is that we're taking a much more aggressive approach," Mr. Gray said Monday at the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library in Northwest, a symbolic location because many visitors use library services to find jobs.
Ms. Mallory said new outreach efforts made sense in light of the first few months of the program, in which the city encountered and placed many job-seekers who were not already in its database.
"Is this a panacea for the huge challenges we face? Is it the magic silver bullet we all seek? Of course not," she said.

The Community College of Baltimore County was sued in federal court this week by a student rejected for admission to a competitive radiation therapy program, he says, because of his religious views, The Baltimore Sun reported. According to the suit (available online here), he was rejected because of his answer to an interview question about what was most important to him. His answer was "My God." The suit includes text of an email from the program director, responding to the student's request for details about why he was rejected. The director said (according to the suit): "I understand that religion is a major part of your life and that was evident in your recommendation letters, however, this field is not the place for religion. We have many patients who come to us for treatment from many different religions and some who believe in nothing. If you interview in the future, you may want to leave your thoughts and beliefs out of the interview process." The suit maintains that he met or exceeded the program's requirements.
College officials did not respond to requests for comment, citing a policy not to do so about pending litigation. But in court filings they have questioned whether the student was sufficiently "motivated by an individual passion in the field." Further, they said that because the student has a criminal record, he would have difficulty getting a job in the field in Maryland.

Mumsnetters aren't necessarily qualified to help if your child is unwell. If you have any serious medical concerns, we would urge you to consult your GP.
Recurring constipation/faecal loading - please help!(111 Posts)
I've namechanged for this as it almost certainly outs me in RL to those who know me.
Subject says it all. DD (4) has had rather atypical constipation for over 18 months now. She started going less and less regularly, but I didn't really fret over it because she was never in any pain pooing, and they didn't seem particularly hard (and there was never any withholding). She was probably going every 3 to 4 days.
She gradually seemed really unwell, with no diagnosis, and then eventually started soiling about 4 months after first seeming ill, at which point I finally twigged what the problem was - she was massively faecally loaded.
We disimpacted with movicol, got a referral from the GP to the nurse-led constipation team within the local paed gastro team, and have been under them ever since (about 9 months).
However - it's been 9 months under them, and nothing works. We've tried maintenance doses of between 1/2 and 4 movicol (obv not from day to the next - this is at separate times!), and also no stimulant laxative up to 5 mls of sodium picosulphate.
The pattern is always exactly the same - she's well and no soiling for 2 to 3 weeks after disimpaction, then starts soiling again and becomes unwell (with no hard poos/days without poo/straining at all), then we have to disimpact all over again.
We've been doing this for 9 months, and have only seen a consultant once.
So where do we go from here? She's so distressed and embarrassed by it, and we as a family can't take much more of her either being ill and loaded (and soiling) or being ill and disimpacted (and in nappies) - it's no way for her to live if we can help it.
If anyone out there has any similar experience or professional expertise on what should come next, please, please let me know - I'm so sick of pushing for further investigation or intervention and being fobbed off .
Ha! Yes, that was the word and I remember thinking exactly the same thing! Tee hee
Hi Tweedledumb..so glad to hear that you are at last getting somewhere...how are things going ?? Really feel for you..my lad is now 10 and has faecel impaction all his life, with the soiling etc. Changed consultant at local hosital 18 months ago who refered him to the Gastro team at Great Ormond Street hospital and he is now under a consultant who specialises in motility disorders....It has been a revelation ! DS spent 3 days as inpatient last month and has every test they can possibly do on his lower intestinal tract, colonic manometry, endoscopy, colonoscopy, ano-rectal manometry, full thickness biopsy from his rectum. We go back to London next week to get all the results, but one they have disclosed so far is that he does not have any rectal "relaxation" reflex hence he cannot open his bowel.
I would seriously recommend any parent who is "getting nowhere" with local hospitals to ask for/get a referal to nearest childrens hospital who specialise in these problems. When DS was there they had 3 Dr's who where doing research, so he was able to provide a iopsy towards that and help other children. We have had years of the stress, the worry, the unnecessary comments, an unhappy child and unhappy parents...I really do hope you are getting on well !
Hi NormanboysMum - thanks for your kind message.
I'm so pleased that things sound to be finally moving forward for your son - what a terrible time he and you must have had dealing with this his whole life. I can't believe he's never had any of these tests, after all this time .
Not sure how things are, actually. Not as straightforward as we'd hoped (though I'm not surprised, to be honest).
We've had a lot of success coming off the Movicol - no soiling in over 3 months now. But unfortunately DD has reimpacted/reloaded a couple of times already, and now seems to have reimpacted on 20mg a day of picosulfate!! It's so hard to tell with her as it's really atypical, so she'll still be going off to do poos at least once, if not several times, a day, but stuff seems to get bunged up again in her saggy old colon.
Thanks for telling me so much about Great Ormond Street. That's really interesting to know. At present we're under a specialist paediatric gastro consultant at a children's hospital, but we've only seen him twice as we've been under the care of the associated nursing team (previous posts will tell you how that went!).
We're going to have to try and see him again as quickly as possible, and I really think we need very regular consultant input from now on, as the nurses just can't deal with this. But we're not far at all from London, and I've been wondering for a while now whether to try and switch over to Great Ormond Street if we don't get more help soon.... Definitely something to bear in mind in the upcoming months.
Will you please post/personal message soon to let me know how your son has got on? I really hope you get clearer answers (and hopefully a good prognosis) as a result of all the tests. What a brave boy.
Bumping this...
dont know if already said but my son had severe impaction and constipation/overflow issues - one gastro recomended probiotcs daily and this has really helped -we use biocare acidophilus powder half teaspoon in juice daily.
Ah, thanks for sharing that, cestlavie, that's really interesting.
I've asked the consultant about this specifically, particularly because my DD had heavy duty reflux meds when an infant, and also had gluten for a long time when very intolerant of it. However, he was a bit dismissive, and said it would normally cause diarrhea rather than constipation. But I know that's not the case! I think I might just try it anyway without consultant input, as there's no harm in giving it to her.
I'm really pleased it helped your son - hope he's doing much better now.
Thanks again
Sounds positive, we were referref to the specialist incontinence school nurse who wants to refer us to parenting classes
Interestingly I was talking to a friend who is a GP in Australia and ashe can't understand a) why DD has not had any physical examinations to make sure that everything is in working order and b) why we haven't been referred to a nutritionist to see if she has an intolerance, both of which are very common referrals out there.
FFS, fivegomad - what on earth would parenting classes add to sorting out a serious constipation problem? Or is it supposed to be as an additional support (even so, doesn't sound like the right avenue)? What have you said?
That's really interesting re your friend in Australia. I had a strong feeling that we'd not had the best treatment we could have done, but this thread has really brought home that it's true across the board. Really depressing.
Can I bump this thread? Really hoping all you lovely mums have good news to now share, months on?
Really struggling with DS and years of issues. Daily movicol, 1 a day works for a few weeks, then back to square one Really had enough. Under Prof Candy and awaiting Nursing team to contact us
Can i ask how you would know if your child was impacted?
Ds is 9 and only poos once a week, the poos are really big though. No issues with overflow/soiling.
Hi there.. I was just wondering how this turned out? Also did anyone try daily enemas instead of/as well as laxatives? Thanks

A key Iraqi lawmaker said yesterday the Bush administration will not meet its July deadline to hammer out a new bilateral security agreement governing U.S. forces in the country because of intense opposition in Iraq to the proposed pact.
Failure to clinch an agreement could leave the U.S. military mission in Iraq in legal limbo and frustrate President Bush's hopes to nail down a long-term strategic alliance with Baghdad before he leaves office in January.
"It is not likely that such an agreement could be concluded or ratified by the parliament in the next six months. There is very strong opposition," said Adnan Pachachi, a former Iraqi foreign minister and head of the interim Governing Council who now sits in the Iraqi National Assembly.
Tens of thousands of followers of militant Shi'ite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr yesterday staged the first of what they say will be weekly protests in Baghdad and other cities against the security deal.
The cleric, a fierce opponent of the U.S. military presence, called the talks "a project of humiliation for the Iraqi people." The Associated Press reported that al-Sadr supporters in Baghdad carried signs reading, "No to America! No to the Occupation!"
The 85-year-old Mr. Pachachi, a member of one of Iraq's most prominent Sunni Muslim families, said at a forum at the Woodrow Wilson Center that many Iraqi lawmakers oppose any long-term strategic deal while the country remains so dependent on U.S. forces to provide basic security.
"The feeling is it would be unwise to the Iraqi government now to commit itself on such a far-reaching matter of importance," he said.
The government of Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki has said it is determined not to renew the U.N. mandate under which some 150,000 American troops and those from 25 other nations operate. The mandate expires at the end of the year.
David Satterfield, the State Department's point man in the Iraqi security negotiations, said the U.S. government wants two new accords - a standard "status of forces" agreement with Iraq like those with other countries where U.S. forces are posted, and a "strategic framework agreement" outlining a broader alliance between the two governments.
He vehemently denied in an interview this week on Al Jazeera television that the agreement would clear the way for permanent U.S. bases in Iraq or tie the hands of the next U.S. administration or future Iraqi governments.
"There is no desire, indeed there is a rejection of permanent bases" in the proposed agreements, Mr. Satterfield said. "We could not be clearer on this point."
Talks began in earnest on the new long-term security pact in March. Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari said earlier this month the two sides are "making progress" in the talks, but there has been virtually no public discussions of the substance of the negotiations.
Despite Mr. Satterfield's assurances, there remains deep skepticism both in Baghdad and in the Democratic-controlled U.S. Congress about the accord.
Prominent Shi'ite and Sunni politicians have come out against the agreement in recent days.
Abdul-Aziz al-Hakim, whose United Iraqi Alliance is one of the main Shi'ite parties supporting the al-Maliki government, said unspecified parts of the draft agreement would "violate Iraq's national sovereignty."
Omar al-Jabburi, a Sunni lawmaker, told the Arab-language Aswat al-Iraq newspaper that any security deal would inevitably be a bargain between unequal parties.
"Iraq is still a country under occupation and, consequently, any pact arrived at in these difficult circumstances will be deemed to be not agreed to," he said.
Harith al-Dhari, head of the Association of Muslim Scholars, which has ties to the Sunni armed resistance, vowed in a statement this week to fight any bilateral security agreement.
"The nationalist forces will take it upon themselves to reply to those responsible, … and without a doubt there will be a new price to pay in the blood of pious martyrs," the statement warned.
More worrisome for U.S. negotiators, Iraqi press reports say Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, the country's most influential Shi'ite cleric, has privately expressed reservations about the accord and wants a national referendum on any agreement negotiated - a vote that Iraqi government could well lose.
Most of the attention in the United States has focused on the question of permanent bases and troop levels in Iraq, but private analysts say there are other sticking points in the talks. Among them: the legal status and immunity from Iraqi law of tens of thousands of private contractors working with U.S. forces.
Mr. Pachachi said yesterday most Iraqis accept for now the need for U.S. and foreign troops to provide security in the short- and medium-term, blaming the al-Maliki government for failing to rid the Iraqi security forces of influence by sectarian militias.
"Most Iraqis would prefer that there were no foreign troops in the country, but right now we have a situation in which our security forces are not reliable," he said.

I've been many times to Villa Mandarine, situated within a residential area, at the end of a road. The restaurant is appreciated by many, some of the dishes are indeed showing a certain level of research. Prices are on the higher end of what you can find in Rabat. I'm a little bit concerned about the lack of coherence in the menu. Taken separately, plates are enjoyable, but the full dinner experience is missing. With a little energy, owners could deepen the ability to transport you into the warmth of a colonial past, but the experience is rather flat, due to poor service.

Andrew Lewman, head of operations for The Onion Router (TOR), an anonymity and privacy tool that is particularly loathed by the spy agencies' capos, credits Tor's anonymous bug-reporting system for giving spies a safe way to report bugs in Tor that would otherwise be weaponized to attack Tor's users.

Open Wireless Movement, a joint project of the Electronic Frontier Foundation, Fight for the Future, Mozilla, Free Press and others, will reveal its sharing-friendly wifi router firmware at the HOPE X conference in NYC next month. The openwireless operating system allows you to portion out some of your bandwidth to share freely with your neighbors and passersby, while providing a high degree of security and privacy for your own communications.
The Open Wireless Movement's goals are to both encourage the neighborliness that you get from sharing in your community, and undermining the idea that an IP address can be used to identify a person, establishing a global system of anonymous Internet connectivity. The project includes an excellent FAQ on the myths and facts about your legal liability for things that other people do with your network. Read the rest
Piratebox, a great project for making standalone wireless fileservers, has gone 1.0. The 1.0 has a slick 4chan-style message board, a responsive UI, and does UPnP discovery for your file-sharing needs. Combined with cheap wireless gear and a little battery, it's a perfect file-sharing boxlet that you can take anywhere in order to share anything -- for example, buskers could use it to distribute copies of their music to watchers. Piratebox is the technology that underlies Librarybox, a fork that is specialized for use by libraries and archives. Read the rest
Michael from Beta Boston writes, "The privacy protections offered by tools like Tor aren't just for journalists and spies; they're important for everyone. Almost every modern abusive relationship has a digital component, from cyberstalking to hacking phones, emails, and social media accounts, but women's shelters increasingly have found themselves on the defensive, ill-equipped to manage and protect their clients from increasingly sophisticated threats. Recently the Tor Project stepped in to help change that, and we took a long look at the work cut out for them."
This is an important point: when you make it so that no one can keep secrets from the state and its enforcement arm, you also make it so that no one can keep secrets from crooks, thugs, stalkers, and every other kind of bad guy. Read the rest
TAILS -- The Amnesiac Incognito Live System -- is a highly secure operating system intended to be booted from an external USB stick without leaving behind any trace of your activity on either your computer or the drive. It comes with a full suite multimedia creation, communications, and utility software, all configured to be as secure as possible out of the box.
It was Edward Snowden's tradecraft tool of choice for harvesting and exfiltrating NSA documents. Yesterday, it went 1.0. If you need to turn a computer whose operating system you don't trust into one that you can use with confidence, download the free disk image. (Note: TAILS won't help you defend against hardware keyloggers, hidden CCTVs inside the computer, or some deep malware hidden in the BIOS). It's free as in speech and free as in beer, and anyone can (and should) audit it.

Google has changed the commenting system on YouTube so that you need to be a Google Plus user to post; the new system uses algorithms to promote some comments above others, and has the perverse effect of making trolls more visible. Vi Hart, the incomparable math-vlogger (and a regular favorite around here) describes how Google's decision to double down on its flagging Facebook-alike G+ service by ramming YouTube users into it has made her lose faith in the service: now her regular, good commenters comments hover at the bottom of the pile, while hateful trolls whose messages generate a lot of replies are judged "good" by G+ and promoted to the top.
The promise of G+ in the beginning was that making people use their real names would incentivize them to behave themselves. It's abundantly clear now that there are more than enough people who are willing to be jerks under their real names. In the meantime, people who have good reason not to post under their own names -- vulnerable people, whistleblowers, others -- are now fully on display to those sociopaths who are only too happy to press the attack with or without anonymity.

My latest Guardian column is "Data protection in the EU: the certainty of uncertainty," a look at the absurdity of having privacy rules that describes some data-sets as "anonymous" and others as "pseudonymous," while computer scientists in the real world are happily re-identifying "anonymous" data-sets with techniques that grow more sophisticated every day. The EU is being lobbied as never before on its new data protection rules, mostly by US IT giants, and the new rules have huge loopholes for "anonymous" and "pseudonymous" data that are violently disconnected from the best modern computer science theories. Either the people proposing these categories don't really care about privacy, or they don't know enough about it to be making up the rules -- either way, it's a bad scene.

Since the mid-noughties, de-anonymising has become a kind of full-contact sport for computer scientists, who keep blowing anonymisation schemes out of the water with clever re-identifying tricks. A recent paper in Nature Scientific Reports showed how the "anonymised" data from a European phone company (likely one in Belgium) could be re-identified with 95% accuracy, given only four points of data about each person (with only two data-points, more than half the users in the set could be re-identified).
Some will say this doesn't matter. They'll say that privacy is dead, or irrelevant, or unimportant. If you agree, remember this: the reason anonymisation and pseudonymisation are being contemplated in the General Data Protection Regulation is because its authors say that privacy is important, and worth preserving.

It is incredible how time passes; it started as a good idea and became a great reality. The determination of the communities to protect their territory and to improve their quality of life allowed the implementation process of the analog forestry methodology.
30 families from these communities have now better incomes as a result of their hard work. Patience and perseverance was the key to their success, it took a lot of time to set the land, to build the greenhouses and to plant the species.
The families overcame all the obstacles and learnt during the process. Thanks to the team effort, and the support from the donors, the 30 families have now the capacity to keep going by themselves. They have the tools, the knowledge, the expertise and most of all the enthusiasm to keep working for the benefits of their communities.

*Cable railing cost will vary depending on size and style and installation method. This is a general example of the difference in cost between machine swage and hand swage cable deck railing assemblies. Machine swage systems require more exact cable measurements when ordering, but do not require a swaging tool for installation. Hand swage systems offer more flexibility because exact cuts are made during installation.
**These figures highlight a general cable railing systems cost and are not exact figures.
Our cable railing assemblies are intended to run horizontally from a fixed end, through intermediate posts, and secured or tensioned at opposite end posts.
We suggest choosing an assembly that includes a turnbuckle, as it will allow you to easily tension the cable if it begins to sag over time. Although it is not structurally necessary for cable runs less than 28', including a turnbuckle in your assembly can also increase your cable span allowance to up to 50'. Adding an additional turnbuckle can increase your run span even more.
For corners, it is recommended to terminate the cable and start a new run at the change in direction. Experienced contractors will sometimes set up continuous runs around corners, however this impacts the allowable cable span. If you choose to run a cable around a corner, the maximum angle is generally 45° for 1x19 cable to preserve the integrity of the cable, and can be achieved by using a two post corner.
Configuring the location of your end and intermediate posts is the first step in configuring your cable railing system design. This is necessary in order to determine your cable length, number of cables and assemblies, and any additional hardware necessary for attaching to the post, rounding corners, and accommodating angled runs. We recommend installing posts prior to gathering cable measurements.

High On Fire
on Exclaim! TV Aggressive Tendencies
During a recent stop at Toronto's Opera House while on tour with Goatwhore, Exclaim! TV caught up with High on Fire frontman Matt Pike. He discussed the band's latest album, De Vermis Mysteriis, what the writing process was like and the fictitious, religious-based concept behind the record. Pike also talked about dealing with alcohol addiction and his recent stint in rehab, as well as how that experience has had an impact on him in terms of performing better, while managing temptations on tour.
High on Fire's De Vermis Mysteriis is out now via eOne, and is the follow-up to their 2010 album, Snakes for the Divine.

Additional Information
More information about this loan
This loan is part of the innovative "Poverty Stoplight" program developed by Fundación Paraguaya for women living in poverty. A "stoplight" measurement tool is used to help borrowers self-identify the type of poverty that affects them most (lack of income, dearth of financial opportunities, poor living conditions etc.). Borrowers rate 50 areas of their life as green (not poor), yellow (poor) or red (extremely poor). Together with their loan officer, they come up with a plan to resolve yellow and red indicators. Through this program, Fundación Paraguaya hopes to lift 9,000 women and their families out of poverty by 2017.
To learn more about this unique approach to eliminating poverty, you can read this article on Fundación Paraguaya's website.
About Fundación ParaguayaFundación Paraguaya is a financially self-sustaining social enterprise that promotes entrepreneurship in urban and rural areas through microfinance, education programs, and more. Its focus on agriculture has helped many farmers boost their crop yields. And a number of other borrowers have taken out loans to start and grow social businesses that have helped deliver eyeglasses, medicines and other helpful services in their local communities.
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.

Amy Donaldson: Lindsey Vonn should be satisfied with success against other women
Giovanni Auletta, Associated Press
Lindsey Vonn's dedication and skill have made her so successful, even dominant, that the 28-year-old alpine skier is looking for greater challenges.
Her desire to push herself is what's made her one of the greatest alpine skiers ever.
She is a World Cup champion and an Olympic champion. In fact, she's just five wins away from tying the record of the sport's winningest female skier.
And that's become something of an issue for the Minnesota native.
She'd like to discuss her accomplishments without the gender delineation attached to it. The woman with 57 career victories wants to prove she can not only win on any slope, in any alpine event, but against any skier — man or woman.
Vonn asked the FIS to let her compete against the world's best male alpine skiers last month in Lake Louise, but they said no. Four days ago, she told CNN that she was not going to give up her fight and was even considering legal action in attempting to gain access to the men's races.
She believes allowing her to compete in men's races would elevate the profile of the sport in the U.S. Those who support her effort have said it would illustrate just how great she really is.
But isn't her greatness already obvious? Couldn't she elevate her sport in a way that didn't marginalize the women's events? When we say seeing her successfully compete against men would prove her greatness, aren't we also inadvertently saying that the women's races are not as athletic, not as valuable, not as impressive as the men's races?
Are her titles less valuable because she raced against women to win them?
I have great admiration for the women athletes who've pioneered opportunities for other women. The U.S. women's ski jumping team is the most recent of examples of female athletes who were excluded from athletic competition simply because of their gender.
They fought and won the right to have their own events on the World Cup circuit and, for the first time, in the 2014 Olympic Winter Games. The late freestyle skier Sarah Burke spent her life begging organizers to create competitions for women so she didn't have to compete against men. She simply wanted women to have what the men had — the opportunity to do what they loved for a living. She never realized her dream of being an Olympian, but because of her efforts — on and off the snow — other women will compete in her sport in Sochi, Russia.
It is of these women, and others who fought simply for the opportunity to compete, that I think of when I hear requests like Vonn's. It is their sacrifices that I believe are marginalized when women argue that they need a greater challenge than competing against their own gender.
Vonn told reporters in Canada that her success should grant her entry into the men's races.
"It's not like I'm getting 20th every day and saying I want to race the men," she said. "I try to let my skiing speak for itself. I don't know exactly where I'd stack up, but that's kind of the whole point, to see where I stand and see how much farther I can push my skiing because the men, their skiing is the best in the world hands down. That's where I want to get my skiing to be."
How does it elevate the sport for other women when we have our best female athletes saying they need a greater challenge than what other women can ever offer?
Vonn told the New York Times that she'd like to have "one chance" to race against the men. She pointed at Swedish golfer Annika Sorenstam as an example who "paved the way for women."

Jego zwycięstwa w walce ze słabymi osłabiły jego samego, dały mu poczucie siły i złudę bycia niepokonanym, a także sprawiły, że stał się nieostrożny. Tak, jak wielu przed, nie zdołał przewyższyć sił dobra i został wreszcie, po tysiącach lat szkodzenia innym, zesłany tam, gdzie zesłane zostają Zenari, demony zniszczenia. Niech stworzenia dobra, którym on nigdy się nie tanie, odetchną z ulgą, gdyż Ziranunun, bóstwo węży, został w końcu pokonany!".

His thoughts followed one path, since this argument with a muggle. And her wonderful ... daughter. Definitely no, and again no! Abusive mutant wizards are invited to stop besmirching and start to "filling the social niches ment for them."Four Founders3 years ago in General Fiction More Like This
There was a knock on the door. Salazar snorted and looked down at his green socks straight from the store "Aunt Humberta's". She made them by herself for him, theese wonderful, pureblood socks. Pure blood ... grrrrrr ...
"But Lord Slytherin" rang out through the door, when he did not answer. "I think our small quarrel did not prevent my daughter in attendance at your school! I certainly do not want to offend you, and I would like to once again make conversation with you!"

Like a spider surrounding the world by his net
You are trying to catch me in your dusty cobweb
Not asking about my innocence, the purity of heart
With enthusiasm catches my fearfull looks
Like a serial killer, hungry for a view of humiliation
You are trying to put me on your knife
Not asking about my feelings, bursting in my chest
Pour around the water of life, giving meaning to existence
Like a god of stone and steel heart
Eat my guts with a sick pleasure
Not asking about the fire in my chest, filling me
I drink your blood from the crystal cup of pleasure
Like most beautiful vampire, child of the night
Torturing your ambiguos soul and your treacherous body
In a wonderful act of revenge, drinking your pitfull yourself
You are a victim

Groza SalazaraSalazar Slytherin był zły. Salazar Slytherin był nieszczęśliwy. Salazar Slytherin chciał zniszczyć cały Hogwart razem ze wszystkimi uczniami oraz uczennicami z taką mocą, by nigdy już nie pojawił się na powierzchni ziemi.

The shout of one of her crewmates pierced the air. Sophia was aware of that but she couldn't leave the governer's ship without a map. It would be like all lifes that were lost in this battle were lost for nothing. She sank the blade of her cuttlas in the body of one of the officers, with pleasure noticing the flowing blood and the smell of fear. She always took the pleasure when she was killing and when it were people of her sworn enemy, it was double. She turned back just to meet other of governer's soldiers with a pistol turned into her head.
"Brackett, that is your end" he hissed not knowing that Hawkins, her first officer, was behid him. He hit him in the occiput and smiled to his captain, with an ugly, wide smile on his wretched face.

Leaving a shapeless mass of mutilated memories
Pushing dreams into the ground, bleeding from numerous wounds
It is not a world I want to remember
Crying children on the streets, among garbages
Violence and screams, all so beautiful
My eyes see views and places that once
though not perfect, were alive, were almost normal
This is not the world I want to remember
Somewhere where they do not look back, they are monsters
Who wish to come into the world among the pain and silence
These voices, however, do not let them leave the abyss
But their eyes can see the empty buildings
This is not the world I want to remember
But there is always hope that the bleeding wound is healed

Like a delicate flavor of eternity
I feel everything so strong and close
With my skin like white silk on the dark sky
My eyes see different stages of life
My birth, my victories, my failures
The terrible visions of the unknown
The dark visions of the eternal suffering
I want to bite, I want to scream
I want to become part of the night
I am the creature of the Great Atrocity
That created me after I Became
The smell of dust, the color of red
The strongest parts of my perception now
Difficult to tell but so easy to feel
The new dream arose to possess the dreamers
I will take your hand, the dusk
And I will go to hunt and seek
But now I must think my new way
So different, so beautiful, so sexual
So vampiric...

A legend of a beautiful woman exists
Which had hair as red as the carrot
And the eyes as yellow as the bright sunlight
She didn't have power in hands
But she has always been able to create adventure from danger
In her agile stilts she plaited songs and dreams
And with her sword she cut throats of her enemies
She first sailed into the distance
She first saw the beauty and the atrocity of the unknown
She was first pirate woman on these waters
And her legend is radiating it's own brilliance as diamond
For her strong gales and storms were not terrible
She led her longboats to the victory like valkiria
And men bowed down before her
Knowing that they won't find the better leader on the world
She led wars, she led battles
Freckly beauty with the supple body
She didn't know, what it is fear, she was ruthless
She was incorporating the fire, the earth, the gale and the black depths

She was like a storm, like a mighty wave, inspiring humanity from the swamp of stagnation
She was beauty and ugliness, last resort, and the curse of millions.
When she paced, the fire was behind her, devouring the souls of little ones
When her rippling laughter rose above the heads of the chosen, was heard as the announcement of the war and the joy, beauty and destruction
When you condemn her, you yield, when you loved her, died ...
but at the same time ... you all wanted it, or condemn, or love
She was a river, carrying the flame of change
Are you worthy to stand before her?

Caution: Do not use visualization or relaxation techniques while driving, operating dangerous machinery, or performing any task that requires your complete concentration, such as child care.
"A Self Help MUST READ!"
A definite must read for anyone looking to improve themselves. Covers issues that could have been caused due to childhood and upbringing. Extremely insightful. You'll want to keep this to read again and again.
"Great Self Help Book"
I liked it better, only because I can put on my headphones and crawl into bed. I don't usually fall asleep for a couple of hours anyway, so this way I can read, get relaxed and drift off.
This was my first experience with a audible book, but he did a great job! I was worried that I wouldn't like the way the information was read to me, but I loved it!
I highly recommend this book! I had read it 40 years ago and have often revisited the information I had learned from it. It was interesting when re-reading the book, to realize how many things I had been drawing from it all these years later. It's a great self help book, with exercises to reinforce your learning experience. It is well read and I really enjoyed the experience of having it read to me!
"EXCELLENT book!"
I liked that this book has been updated, but even from the original stories, I got the intention of the message. Focus on what you want and it will happen. I'm a golfer & really enjoyed the golf parables.
"a must read for everyone"
brilliant, necessary, interesting
the brain that changes itself because it has many of the core concepts found in neuroscience
"Great Book, great reader"
Yes, because I like it. It is a great listen on a great subject. 5 stars
I think Paul Mitchell made this book even better
Apply what you have learned.
"Foundation of it all"
Yes this is a book you should listen to over and over even individual sections. There is so much to digest. The main problem with the book is the prologue and first two chapters are slow but after that, this book is full of useful and insightful information.
Doctor Maltz himself is the best character of the book. To find such honesty in a plastic surgeon is rare especially today.
It is difficult to pick out a specific scene from the book given the type of book this is. However the many patients he has that don't need plastic surgery but mental surgery and the explanation of why this is, helps the listener to understand themselves and those around them.
I am not sure where in the book it was, but there was a time near the end where I understood that I was having an identity crisis due to a career change. This one bit of understanding has helped me greatly in my new work life.
If you are into personal development at all then this is the foundation of all other works. Listen, read, absorb this book and you will understand every other author and speaker in the field of personal development much better.
"a classic"
This book will change your life! Its the kind of book you listen to over and over and it opens your mind beyond then normal way on thinking..masterpiece! This book may not be for everyone it requires an intelligence above normal.
"Listening to it for the 2nd time"
Highly recommend this audio book! The information provided is truly insightful and inspiring. Paul Michael is enjoyable to listen to as well.
"Deep, Great Knowledge"
So good I am using it to teach my class on 'Self Development'
The study of your self concious is the same and as powerful as Dale Carnegies 9 Principals. The study, conducted over 40 years is backed back scientific evidence to dozens of personal case studies. It is true, it is all in your mind, and you can change your mind..And it is easier than you think. Amazing Insight.
"This book is a life changer!!!"
I read a lot of fantastic reviews for this book on Amazon.com. Not having alot of time for reading I was happy to find it on Audible.com. I was even happier to find that Audible had an app for my Motorola Droid so I could listen to it almost anywhere I went!
This book reduces and isolates all self help concepts down to the self image. It basically states that you will ALWAYS act and think strictly in accordance with the image that you hold of yourself in your mind. It talks alot about how this causes self imposed limitations. It's from here that it gives you practical ideas & exercises to help you change your self image.
I've only been listening to it for about a week, but I'm already questioning & challenging thoughts & ideas I've accepted about myself for my whole life! The only parts of the book that I don't particularly care for are the authors references to god & the bible. I think the book could have been just as informative & effective without the author pitching his religious belief to the reader. I still highly recommend it as one of the best self help books I've ever found!!!

MOORE — Dion Henderson is deaf, but he heard the tornado that killed his mother. "It was terrible," he said. "It sounded like an airplane probably going to crash."
Henderson was 7 when a tornado devastated his family on May 3, 1999. That day, the first-grader and his older brother went to a friend's house to play after school. The sky turned dark, so the boys went home early. Weathermen reported tornados were near, so the whole family rushed to the bathroom. The boys' uncle and father covered them, and their mother cradled the youngest son, Andrew, who was only 6 weeks old. Their house collapsed. Henderson's mother died. His older brother had a punctured lung. The baby had two skull fractures. Henderson had a cut on his neck but survived relatively unscathed compared to the others. They all spent time in the hospital, and the baby lingered in a coma for a month. Everyone recovered, but returning to life as usual was difficult. The boys eventually returned to school, and Dion received new hearing aids to replace the ones he lost in the storm. Having a large, supportive extended family in the area helped, Henderson said. Even though he was young when his mother died in the storm, Henderson said he still thinks of her often, remembering the fun they had swimming or getting ice cream in the summer. She was a caring woman with a bright smile, he said. "I don't want people to feel bad for me," he said. "I'm not like that. … I miss her. I know I'll see her one day."
