Osteosarcoma is the most common type of bone cancer in children and young adults. It usually occurs in the long bones, such as the arms or legs, though it can also occur in the pelvis, spine, jaw or other locations in the body.
How Dana-Farber/Boston Children's approaches osteosarcoma in children
Dana-Farber/Boston Children's Cancer and Blood Disorders Center provides comprehensive medical and surgical care for children and adolescents with bone tumors, such as osteosarcoma. Our multidisciplinary approach through our Bone and Soft Tissue Program ensures in-depth discussion of each case and personalized treatment plans for every patient. We integrate expertise from pediatric oncologists, oncologic orthopedists, pediatric specialists, psychologists, social workers, and oncologic surgeons.
Treatments for Osteosarcoma in Children
Treatments for osteocarcoma may involve a combination of therapies including surgery, radiation and/or chemotherapy. In most cases, children receive chemotherapy before surgery (neoadjuvant), a surgical procedure to remove the tumor and additional chemotherapy after surgery (adjuvant). Treatment options will vary greatly, depending on your child's situation. Your child's doctor and other members of your care team will discuss the options with you in-depth. Prompt medical attention and aggressive therapy are important for the best prognosis.
Osteosarcoma Surgery
Depending on the size and location of the tumor and whether the tumor has spread, your child may receive one of the surgical treatments necessary to combat it including limb salvage surgery, amputation, or a rotationplasty. If the osteosarcoma has spread to other parts of the body, such as the lungs, additional surgery may be required, and our oncologic surgeons will remove any metastases that may have formed.
Chemotherapy for Osteosarcoma
Chemotherapy is a group of drugs that interfere with the cancer cell's ability to grow or reproduce. Different groups of chemotherapy drugs work in varied ways to fight cancer cells and shrink tumors. Chemotherapy is systemic treatment, meaning it is introduced to the bloodstream and travels throughout the body to kill cancer cells. Chemotherapy can be given orally, as an injection into the muscle or fat tissue, directly to the bloodstream, or with a needle directly into the fluid surrounding the spine.
Osteosarcoma Research and Clinical Trials
Dana-Farber/Boston Children's Cancer and Blood Disorders Center was one of the first centers in the United States to use adjuvant chemotherapy and perform limb salvage surgery for patients with osteosarcoma. In addition to our very active research program on osteosarcoma and osteosarcoma clinical trials at Dana-Farber/Boston Children's, we also have available all Children's Oncology Group clinical trials for newly diagnosed, non-metastatic and metastatic osteosarcoma.

News Release
Consumer Watchdog Cheers State Contract Award to Buy Ford Police Vehicles, Shutting Out Tax-Evading Automakers
Santa Monica, CA -- The state's award of a contract for up to 1,900 Ford vehicles for the California Highway Patrol and other state agencies is a snub to GM and Chrysler, which eagerly sought the prestigious contract.
Consumer Watchdog applauded the tentative award, noting that of the Big 3 U.S. automakers, only Ford is not in a coalition battling to keep a California tax loophole that benefits large out-of-state corporations to the tune of at least $1 billion a year.
The nonprofit, nonpartisan Consumer Watchdog calls on the state and major cities, which it will be contacting, to bar all non-safety-related purchases of Chrysler and GM products until they cease their campaign and pledge willingness to pay the same tax rate that in-state corporations pay.
"Taxpayers shouldn't be paying millions to automakers that are happy to starve California schools, police departments and disabled people of funding," said Judy Dugan, research director for Consumer Watchdog. "What's good for the CHP should be fine for other police departments and government agencies."
Even with substantial state discounts, the contract for up to 1,800 Taurus-based police patrol cars and 100 Explorer-based police utility vehicles would likely be worth more than $50 million over time. Dealer prices listed online for the civilian models of the patrol car range from about $30,000 to $32,500, without costly additions like bulletproof doors.
The state is sharply cutting back its civilian auto fleet and the CHP has scaled back as well, but wear and tear force the CHP and other public safety agencies to replace vehicles at about 100,000 miles.
The state's current tax loophole allows many out-of state companies with major sales in California to pay a lower tax rate than in-state companies, depriving the state of $1 billion or more a year, according to the state legislative analyst. Closing the loophole would help restore essential services axed in the current budget crisis, said Consumer Watchdog.
Two other major corporations, Kimberly-Clark (Scott, Kleenex, Huggies products) and International Paper have joined GM and Chrysler in the deceptively titled "California Employers Against Higher Taxes."
Chrysler more than doubled its state lobbying expenses in the first quarter of this year, to $32,500, as it added two corporate tax reform bills, AB1500 and AB1501, to its lobbying list reported to the Secretary of State. The larger General Motors spent more than $86,000 on state lobbying in the first quarter, and added the same legislation to its lobbying list. If a separately proposed ballot initiative to close the tax loophole qualifies for the ballot, the four companies are expected to up the ante on spending.
"The state and cities of California owe taxpayers the respect of shunning companies that are driving the state further into a hole of debt," said Dugan. "The CHP contract is a great start. Other agencies should quickly and publicly pledge to stay away from the tax dodgers at Chrysler and GM."

"Brave Vesperia. The brightest star in the sky."In the world of Terca Lumireis, Blastia are a part of everyday life. From drawing water to animating robots, the purposes of Blastia are plentiful and its utility is vital. One of the most important uses of Blastia is to project gigantic barriers that protect towns from the armies of wild monsters roaming the world. Only two factions are permitted to leave the protection of these barriers: the Imperial Knights of the Empire that regulates Blastia use, and the Guilds who reject Imperial rule. As a result, most people never experience the vast and undiscovered world that lies outside their homes.Yuri Lowell is a former Imperial Knight who lives in the lower quarter of a metropolis called Zaphias, capital of the Empire. Yuri often witnesses the injustices that the people living in poverty experience at the hands of the ruling class, and because of government inaction he often ends up taking justice into his own hands. But he realises that this is not enough, and wishes to change the world so that such injustices never occur in the first place.One day, a thief steals a fountain Blastia vital to the people of the lower quarter and Yuri lands in jail while attempting to catch him. While making his escape he runs into Estelle (Estellise Sidos Heurassein), an intelligent but naive noble curious about the outside world and desperate to reach Yuri's childhood friend and Imperial Knight, Flynn Scifo. After escaping from the clutches of The Empire, they decide to venture past the barrier, catch the thief, track down Flynn, and see the world for themselves.On their journey, they acquire an eclectic party: Repede, Yuri's faithful hound; Rita Mordio, a spunky and anti-social genius mage; Karol Capel, a boisterous young boy trying to prove himself to his Guild; Judith, a busty and enigmatic Krityan woman who is destroying Blastia for secretive reasons; and Raven, the middle-aged confidant of a high-ranking Guild leader. The PS3 Updated Re-release adds Patty Fleur, a young pirate searching for the treasure of the legendary pirate Aifread.Tales of Vesperia is the first HD game of the Tales Series. It was first released in 2008 as an "exclusive" for the Xbox 360, which led to the system selling out... in Japan. In April 2011, to address the rather low amount of physical copies of the game in circulation, it was released on the Xbox Live Marketplace as a Game on Demand for only $20.00. It later received an Updated Re-release for the Playstation 3, which never left Japan.There is also a prequel movie — Tales Of Vesperia: The First Strike — which focuses on the brief period of time that both Yuri and Flynn were members of the same Imperial Knights brigade, the Nylen Corps.Yuri, Estelle, and Flynn are also playable Characters in the crossover game Project X Zone

Solyndra is a California-based solar panel producer. Solyndra, LLC acquired over $1 billion in investment. $535 million of that expense came in the form of a federally-guaranteed loan. This week, the business declared that they would be declaring bankruptcy. Source of article: Government-supported Solyndra declares bankruptcy
Where Solyndra was supposedly going
In order to allow Solyndra to grow and expand, the government guaranteed a $535 million loan last year for the company. Obama was not the only one to visit Solyndra. In fact, the California Governor visited along with some solar-technology VIPs. Building roofs and poor areas could afford solar power with Solyndra's plan. It wanted to produce thin solar films for this reason. The original plan with the cash was to hire a lot of new employees. The company also wanted to build a brand new plant for manufacturing.
Solyndra shuts down when confronted with opposition
In January 2011, Solyndra announced plans to delay the opening of a new plant and the hiring of brand new workers. To be able to stop collection on over $1 billion of investors' funds, Solyndra declared it would lay off 1,100 workers and would file bankruptcy, as of Wed, August 31. In the last few months, Solyndra is really the third solar-power plant to file for bankruptcy in the U.S. Over the last year, Chinese manufacturing plants have started developing solar panels and have dropped the price of panels by more than 40 percent; several U.S. firms simply could not keep up
Many wonder what will occur with the guarantee
There were many federal loan guarantee questions before bankruptcy was even an issue for Solyndra. In Could, the Energy Department disclosed that the loan package had to be restructured. Before there were any full financial, legal or even marketing reviews done of Solyndra, the conditional commitment was signed by the government.
Solyndra's responsibility in repaying loans
Over $1 billion in debt needs to be paid by Solyndra. The government may have to pay some of it. The loan guarantee was not for $1 billion. It was for $535 million. It won't be until after Solyndra's bankruptcy hearings, at which the government will be represented, that the exact responsibility of the government will be understood. What is known for sure is that this guarantee will put taxpayers on the hook for several million dollars.

Genre: Paranormal
Main characters: Miriam Black
Time and place: present day, US (some of it is North Carolina, but there's more)
First sentence: "Car lights strobe through busted motel blinds."
Verdict: Okay but forgettable.
Miriam Black has a strange ability: the first time her skin touches another person's skin she sees how that person will die. At first, she tried to act on it, prevent unnecessary deaths. It didn't work. So now she's sort of going with it, sometimes trying to be there when people die so she could steal their money.
And then one day she met Louis. A truck driver, "sweet, sad, damaged". She likes him, and the feeling is mutual — and then she accidentally touches him and sees that he will be brutally murdered very soon. And apparently she will be there when it happens. She cannot warn him, of course, and she knows that the future she sees cannot be changed… but she has to do something, right? If only she knew what that something was.
General impression
I picked this up from NetGalley (thank you NetGalley!) on a whim, as I thought the premise quite interesting. A quick read, I finished it in less than a day. I have no idea why I thought it YA, but it is definitely not so — it has lots of foul language and some gore. Thing is, it was quite interesting, and yet I kept feeling like it was missing something I cannot put my finger on, hence the "okay but forgettable" verdict mentioned above.
You know how sometimes I read some books and notice that all characters were kind and nice, and I like that about them? This book is the very opposite: everyone in it is "damaged goods", having faced traumas that more often that not turns them psychotic. The language, the actions, everything is brutal, and people are getting maimed or murdered without a second thought. Everything feels… gritty, for lack of a better word. Not precisely my cup of tea, yet the book was well written enough, and the world building was good enough for me to read on.
Miriam is quite an interesting character. In her own words, she's "a bad girl, not a bad person", which I think it's the perfect way of putting it. She grew up with a very religious mother, and her upbringing reminds one of Stephen King's Carrie. One wouldn't know this by seeing her today, as Miriam has every 'small' vice there is: she smokes, she drinks a lot, she curses like a sailor, she enjoys casual sex and has a violent streak (admittedly, this comes in very handy when she needs to defend herself, but there is at least one instance when she physically hurt someone for the sake of it). She steals dead people's money for a living, taking advantage of her peculiar gift that allows her to be present at various death scenes. She doesn't sound like a very sympathetic character so far, does she? There are some parts of her I really did not like.
And yet, despite her flaws and despite the fact that I could have done with less foul language, I ended up rooting for her. She's been through a lot, and was damaged in the process, but underneath the outer layer she is neither mean nor evil. She could make a fortune exploiting her gift, and yet she is not fully without scruples, and I liked that about her. She has witnessed countless deaths, and yet she has not become indifferent to it, even as the people involved are total strangers. And, of course, what I liked most about her was her inner struggle regarding Louis — should she save him? Can she save him? Should she even care? After all, people die all the time, don't they, and the future cannot be changed. But she cannot sit around and not even try to do something either, can she? And so on. It would have been so easy for her to just let go of the idea, but she doesn't (or at least not for long), and herein lies the source of my appreciation for her, such as it is.
Which is funny in a way because I am not sure I actually liked Louis. As far as these characters go, he is definitely the sanest and the nicest of them all — and yet, it felt to me that the crazy, dark, gritty setting dirtied everything in it (ah, and the language, of course, never helped), which is why my interest in Louis never got past the idea that he has to live because Miriam wants him to. I didn't much care for him otherwise, although he probably was nice enough to be likable if I had given him a chance.
As for the rest of the cast, they're interesting, as the author has provided some of them with backgrounds that partly justify their current inclinations, but… let's just say we didn't click, take from that what you will. Perhaps "I hated all of them, and Ashley most of all" would be a better way to put it :)
A quote, showcasing both Miriam's wry sense of humor (which I liked) and her somewhat violent approach to life (which I wasn't a fan of) :
[Ashley comes and sits at her table and she is not pleased to see him]
"I'm just going to pretend you're a pink elephant. You'll kindly take this opportunity to get up and slink out of this place like a rat before I open my eyes, because if I open my eyes and still see you there, oh Figment of My Diseased Imagination, I'm going to stab you in the neck with my fork."
I probably should write a bit about Ashley too, after having mentioned him quite a few times already. Thing is, he's nothing but a small time crook, cocky, rotten to the core, and with no redeeming qualities at all. Meh.
Miriam is attracted to dangerous people. And alas, I am not a fan of dangerous people, who don't give a damn about other people's feelings. Which means it should go without saying that I did not approve of Miriam's relationship choices (except, of course, when she got close to Louis, whom, while I did not perceive as nice, at least had the potential to be so, which is far more than I can say of Ashley). Sort of a waste of time, this part, although I did like the way Louis grew on her despite the fact that she did not want him to.
Someone is on the run and there are killers after him and Miriam ends up caught in the middle. Louis too is unwittingly dragged into it. And that't about it, plot wise. To be honest I didn't care all that much about any of it (how could I, given that I couldn't stand any of the people involved), all I cared about was seeing how things with Miriam's vision would unfold — will she be able to change the past and save Louis? If so, how? The rest was more or less background noise.
What I liked most
There's something else out there. After having her vision of Louis' death, Miriam starts being haunted by his ghost (despite the fact that he is still very much alive). At first she thinks he's nothing but a figment of her imagination, but sometimes it turns out he knows things she doesn't. Whatever he is, I liked both the mystery (the fact that I get to theorize about what he may or may not be :) ) and the way the relationship between ghost Louis and Miriam evolves — sure, he's very creepy-looking, but since he always showed up in times of crisis I think that Miriam actually welcomed his company near the end; when times are tough any company being better than no company at all and all that. Also, another reason why I think she grew quite comfortable with him (notwithstanding the way he looked) is that he is able to know what she's thinking, so around him she never needed to pretend she was anything else. Sounds like a comfortable dynamic, and I enjoyed discovering this one more than I did the one between Miriam and the real, live Louis.
What I liked least
The nitty-gritty of the way Miriam's power works is revealed to us via her answers to an interview, of all things. Try as I might I cannot imagine why someone with her strange power and not-quite-pleasant personal history would want to see any of these revealed to the world. Sure, nothing is printed in the end, but all I could think of while reading was what a bad, bad, bad idea this was, for all sorts of reasons.
Also, this is of course a personal preference and YMMV, but I wasn't entirely comfortable with the imagery in the book. Okay, I get the reason for the foul language, as someone as damaged as Miriam and the rest of the cast would probably talk like that, if not worse. However, some of the things that the author chooses to conjure via the said language were a bit too aggressive for me — like saying that a car "gallops forward like someone's trying to stick a riding crop up its a**", or that the traffic was "locked up tighter than a handful of tampons crammed up a nun's a**hole". Eeek.
Thoughts on the title
I actually loved the title :)
"Blackbirds [...] are cool birds. Symbols of death in most mythology. They say that blackbirds are psychopomps. Like sparrows, they're birds that supposedly help shuttle souls from the world of the living to the world of the dead."
Although I am not quite sure why the plural form was preferred, since as far as we know now Miriam is the only person with these abilities. Or perhaps the term should be expanded to include all killers?
Thoughts on the ending
Somewhat far fetched and a tad overdone. Reminded me of the movie The Ring, in a way.
Recommend it to?
The book's current Goodreads rating is 4.20, so despite the fact that I felt it lacked something to make it truly memorable, I encourage anyone who is not put off by foul language and/or some physical violence to give it a try.

American Airlines says it would invest in JAL even in bankruptcy
While Japan Airlines continues to oppose bankruptcy as a means to restructure the airline, American Airlines makes it known it'll invest in JAL in bankruptcy or no bankruptcy.
Reuters is reporting that American is considering" sweetening" its deal with the Japanese carrier.
"We want to be flexible in terms of our ability to enhance our proposal and we have been continually in conversation with Japan Airlines about that," Will Ris, in charge of government affairs at American Airlines told Reuters. "We are looking at every possibility to make our proposal more attractive."
The Oneworld alliance, with American leading the pack, offered to invest $1.1 billion into the struggling airline to keep it from teaming up with Delta and rival alliance Skyteam. According to Reuters, both American and Delta appear to be "courting JAL" despite the possibility for bankruptcy.
"We are OK either way and what we want to do is position ourselves so that we can act very quickly depending on which scenario takes place and make our capital investment available at that time," Ris told Reuters.
Bloomberg reported yesterday that JAL's primary creditor favors the bankruptcy option. JAL and the Japanese Transport Ministry still oppose the idea. --Rebecca Heslin

FlexShares Introduces Developed And Emerging Market TILT ETFs
FlexShares® Exchange Traded Funds, sponsored and managed by Northern Trust, has introduced two new ETFs that complement its U.S. tilt product (NYSE: TILT) by focusing on developed (NYSE: TLTD) and emerging markets (NYSE: TLTE) outside the U.S. The announcement coincides with FlexShares' first anniversary, a year in which the suite of innovative funds accumulated more than $1.5 billion in assets, as of 9/22/2012.
The new funds, listed on the NYSE, seek to counterbalance the inherent bias toward large-growth companies embedded in market-weighted strategies by applying a nuanced "tilt" methodology toward the long-term growth potential of small cap and value stocks. And unlike many alternatively weighted approaches, FlexShares' tilted index funds seek a consistent level of risk exposure to size and style providing total market coverage – including large cap and growth.
"Coming just after our one-year anniversary, this announcement gives us the opportunity to note the progress we've made in our first year," said Shundrawn Thomas, head of Northern Trust's Exchange Traded Funds Group. "We continue to provide investors with distinctive, yet practical solutions. Now, with our two additional tilted index funds, investors have the ability to apply the strategy to investments across the globe."
FlexShares ETFs help provide investors with the flexibility to construct, allocate and manage portfolios according to their real-world goals. The new ETFs are:
- FlexShares Morningstar Developed Markets ex-U.S. Factor Tilt Index Fund (TLTD)
- FlexShares Morningstar Developed Markets ex-U.S. Factor Tilt Index ETF seeks to enhance exposure to international stocks by tilting the portfolio toward the long-term growth potential of the small cap and value segments. It seeks to provide investors with an expanded opportunity set of developed market stocks from outside the U.S. to help meet their longer term capital appreciation needs, while attempting to enhance portfolio risk/return characteristics.
- FlexShares Morningstar Emerging Market Factor Tilt Index Fund (TLTE)
- FlexShares Morningstar Emerging Market Factor Tilt Index ETF seeks to enhance exposure to developing market stocks by tilting the portfolio toward the long-term growth potential of the small cap and value segments. It seeks to provide investors with an emerging market equity option that helps to meet their longer term capital appreciation needs while attempting to enhance portfolio risk/return characteristics.

Waste Not
Hear about an online sharing system where no currency changes hands, and no new materials are used to make more stuff.
Hear about an online sharing system where no currency changes hands, and no new materials are used to make more stuff.
It began in Guatemala, and now a South African town is using recycling bottles as building material as part of an inspirational and regenerative campaign against rubbish
My theory of change is that governments are essential to controlling corporate power and that government is strengthened by civic rather than consumer action.
To truly get to zero waste, you'd need to go beyond recycling into reduce and reuse. In South Australia, they're experimenting with how to take this one step further by adding "avoid" to the top of the waste management hierarchy.
The main theme of a new documentary, Trashed: No Place for Waste...is the major health danger posed by the 7 billion tons of garbage we discard every year.
Even when you have done all you can to reduce, reuse and recycle items, there can be a frustrating amount of stuff still in your bin. The People's Design Lab offers a new solution.
The problem here is, that we've switched from a closed loop system where the waste from the farm house goes into the farm yard and all the phosphorus can recycle, to a linear system where the phosphorus gets mined...
Regardless of terminology, one point is writ clear: the most technologically and economically advanced cultures in the world have the highest rates of food waste on the planet
At the end of their useful lives, the products and materials we use should become the nutrients and ingredients of new products and materials in a waste-free cycle mimicking those found in the rest of the natural world. That's just common sense and uncontroversial, isn't it? Probably …
I was quite surprised when I went to my first Transition Town Shrewsbury Hub meeting at how many projects there were to do with waste. My previous Transition experience had led me to believe that very few people were really that interested in waste, except for the possibility of upcycling it …

The turnout was impressive: Four hundred guests gathered for cocktails in the sprawling gardens of Hampton Court Palace, the onetime home of Henry VIII just outside London, including Bob Geldof, Imran Khan, J.K.

"I've got to keep an eye on those two and watch what they're drinking,' said Giles Deacon, pointing to fellow designers Stuart Vevers and Hazel Robinson. "I have to make sure they don't walk out of here with a painting or something.'
The gala later moved to the palace's Stud House for a white-tie dinner hosted by Russian billionaire Aleksandr Lebedev and his son Evgeny.
Although Elton John and the Scissor Sisters performed, the star attraction was undoubtedly Mikhail Gorbachev, who was there with his daughter Irina and granddaughters Anastasiya and Kseniya.
"He's such a hero,' gushed Sabrina Guinness, who recalled that last year she sat at the former Soviet leader's table during a similar gala at Princess Diana's family's estate, Althorp, and did vodka shots with him. This year, however, she had to make do with Oscar-winning playwright Tom Stoppard. Nearby, her relative Daphne Guinness chatted with Tom Wolfe "about writing, what else?'
Halfway across the globe, Jacqui Getty's Spanish-style house in the Hollywood Hills was the scene for a Moroccan-style lunch on Monday honoring James Ferragamo. The fashion scion, who was recently put in charge of shoes as well as bags, proved an able salesman — he had no trouble interesting the crowd in his latest fall accessories. Over tiny colored glasses of mint tea on the patio, Anjelica Huston, Kristin Davis, Shiva Rose McDermott, Angie Harmon and Kate Mara attempted to design their own pair of Varina flats. "Purple patent or black satin? It's such a dilemma,' gasped Ever Carradine in mock consternation.

How do know if your child is using drugs? What are the signs to look for?
- Q: How do know if your child is using drugs? What are the signs to look for?
- A: Drug abuse has serious consequences in our homes, schools, and communities. From NIDA's perspective, the use of all illicit drugs and the inappropriate use of licit drugs are considered drug abuse. An estimated 19.9 million Americans aged 12 or older were current users of an illicit drug in 2007. Use of illicit drugs is associated with many harmful behaviors and can cause both short- and long-term health problems. Students who use illicit drugs are more likely to engage in risky sexual behavior and delinquency and crime, and to have a drug problem in the future. The following changes are often warning signals of potential alcohol and/or drug use in children: • Changes in friends • Personality changes • Changes in activities and habits • Changes in appearance • Negative changes in schoolwork, missing school, or declining grades • Increased secrecy about possessions or activities • Use of incense, room deodorant, or perfume to hide smoke or chemical odors • Subtle changes in conversations with friends (secretive, using "coded" language) • Change in clothing (fascination with clothes that highlight drug use) • Increase in borrowing money • Evidence of drug paraphernalia such as pipes, rolling papers, etc. • Bottles of eye drops, which may be used to mask bloodshot eyes or dilated pupils • New use of mouthwash or breath mints to cover up the smell of alcohol • Missing prescription drugs (e.g., narcotics and mood stabilizers) A single incident of drug use does not always lead to addiction; however, research has shown that there is often a natural progression of drug abuse. As a result, prevention and early intervention can be so important is reducing problems associated with adolescent drug and alcohol abuse.

Cow dung used as sanitary pads in zimbabwe. Totaly unaceptable
The story below can not be happening in this century but is is.
In June 2014 Volunteer in Zimbabwe launched a campaign that is aimed at benefitting disadvantaged children in communities. The campaign is the Sanitary Pads Project. Reports in the Zimbabwean local media during the commemoration of world Menstruation day on may 28, 2014, indicate that at least 62 % of girls in Zimbabwe are using very unhygienic materials likes leaves, cow dung and dirty rags during their menstruation. At least 20% of the girls miss school every month during their monthly menstruation period. A sad situation indeed. This Sanitary Pads campaign aims to ensure that the provision of sanitary wear enables these young girls to keep abreast of their male counterparts by attending school every day. The project requires volunteers to purchase these pads or to simply supply a girl child with them on a month to month basis. Our appeal to individuals, groups or organizations is to kindly donate sanitary pads for these young girls and allow them to retain their dignity

HD foundations in general claim to create a soft-focus effect to diffuse imperfections making skin look flawless even under harsh lighting -- on screen and off.
Read on for the review.
The very first time I tried this foundation, I was very much in love with the texture and how it made my skin looked but finding the correct shade was a chore since the counters here have rather limited number of shades.
Just by looking at the blob you can probably tell how smooth and fine the foundation is. It's not too runny nor is it too creamy. Whether I'm using a conventional foundation brush, a stippling brush or the MAC109 brush, it's always a dream to blend. Fingers probably won't work as well because it lifts off too much of the intended coverage.
Unlike here, in the States, they have a whopping 25 shades to choose from. My friend in the US, Grace, gave me half a bottle of hers in the shade #123 Desert (for light skin with olive undertones). It's a very good match for my now NC30 skin tone. It appears a tad lighter but it matches well with my neck and chest. I've tried #127 Dark Sand (for medium skin with yellow undertones) previously and it was a wee bit pinkish so I'm thinking if I were to be a darker NC35, my shade would probably have to be #153 Golden Honey (for medium skin with olive undertones).
The coverage is buildable from medium to full. It's able to cover up most of my imperfections including uneven skin tone and broken capillaries. The formula is not drying but it's not too moisturizing either so I'd say it'd be suitable for normal to dry skin. MUFE Mat Velvet would probably be a better option for oilier skin types.
RM122/30ml is not too bad of a price to pay for an awesome foundation considering other department store brands. Albeit not life-transforming, it's still one of my favorites to use especially for taking pictures.
Make Up For Ever counters can be found in KLCC and Parkson U, One Utama.

Vietnam - Mount Fansipan and Halong Bay
Vietnam, Trek & Walk, 12 days - from £995 (land only) - from €1,245 (land only) - from $1,740 (land only)
By: Chris Dell, Devon, UK
Everything went like clockwork. My only problem was in interpreting the nature of the trekking, which though short (essentially 3 days on Fansipan) was more relentlessly upwards on difficult ground than I anticipated. I found the walking much harder than on the Picos de Europa the previous year, which has a similar grading. I didn't pace myself well on the ascent and found it harder than I should have. I think I get on better with a longer trek where I have time to settle into the pace better. Nevertheles, I was very satisfied with the holiday and overall thoroughly enjoyed it. It was an excellent way to get a good feeling for a very interesting country.
Apart from Sapa and the mountains, Halong Bay was not to be missed and with hindsight I would have booked the flight back a day later so as to be able to spend an extra day in Hanoi. The overall itinerary was good, porters were first class, both as porters and as regards the food produced. The logistics all worked extremely well and the local agent was invisible to us. Thanh was excellent; he gave great insight into Vietnamese history and culture and was great fun.
By: Angela Tucker, Hong Kong
I loved the holiday and it was made all the more with the specific tour leader and some of the group. I thoroughly enjoyed it and would once again have no hesitation in recommending KE Adventure. Excellent organisation before the trip and during the trip. Well done again!
Our local tour leader was excellent. He always thought about the whole group at all times. He considered the food requirements of the group. I was the only vegetarian in the group and he considered this at every meal. I also had health issues prior to the trip and on the trip and he ensured I was always well and capable and looked after and comfortable with the pace of the trek. He is to be commended on his talents and his enthusiasm which was relentless even in bad weather.
Your UK staff are exemplary in their attention both before booking and after booking and attention to detail.
By: Duncan Walker, Walton on Thames, UK
The support crew on the trek were excellent and the quality of the food on trek and on the junk in Halong Bay was very good.
Thanh (the guide) was basically excellent. His enthusiasm for what he was doing was apparent and infectious and his thirst for knowledge and to convey it was a joy. He went out of his way to help us find odd pieces that had been forgotten (candles for a birthday cake, contact lens solution). We had a very successful and memorable trip. Main highlight was the junk trip. The jungle trek was a memorable experience.
By: Laurence Hallett, Congleton, Cheshire
Very good programme.... Action packed and very varied, a credit to everyone involved! Well executed throughout. An excellent local experience that occurred with no hitches. Well done!
Tang our local leader is the best trip leader I've ever met! His arrangements and logistics were first rate. Very knowledgeable and nothing was too much trouble for him.
A brilliant experience I'd do again - and recommend to anyone. Fantastic! I most enjoyed the hill trek to the summit of Mt Fansipan.
I found KE through a Google search. I compared your trip dossiers with exodus and explore and yours was the best value for money and had the most activity. Well done KE Adventure travel! And especially to Tang our Vietnamese Trip leader!
By: Carol Cobb, Birmingham, UK
I went with broken wrist in a soft cast. Little was made of it but I was kept an eye on and helped a lot with baggage etc. Most enjoyed aspects: Our leader. Walking in the cloud forest and jungle/ forest. We had great weather apart from one night camping. The walk was harder than i have done before but i was able and achieved the 3143m even with one hand! I was proud to get to the top and it was nicely challenging. Kayaking in halong bay was great with tunnels lagoons deserted bays and beaches. The food was great and service on junk was charming. The flora and fauna at all stages was wonderful and more info and knowledge about this would be great. I loved seeing sea eagles and a king fisher. I also collected some cowrie shells too. The bustle and busy pave ments and roads and street culture in Hanoi was also great. We learnt a lot of cultural and historical stuff too.
By: Graham Parker, Merseyside, UK
Service and correspondence was very professional and your staff were very helpful in helping us arrange a couple of extra days in Hanoi and all that involved.
The trip was well set up and organised. All the support staff, drivers, porters and the boat crew did a great job and made us feel very welcome in Vietnam.
We had a great time in Vietnam and enjoyed every aspect of the trip. We will certainly recommend it to our friends. We loved the diversity of the holiday from hectic and chaotic Hanoi to the peace and tranquillity of Halong Bay. Another highlight was the opportunity to visit the hill tribes around Sapa and the Sunday market in Bac Ha!

Welcome to Happy Days Doggie
The campers enjoy six to eight hours of supervised playtime every day. All group activity is monitored closely by our camp counselors to make
sure all campers are given the attention they need. We have six different play areas, a large indoor play room, three out-door play areas,
which are covered and protected from the weather, and two very large outdoor play
parks, with a doggie playhouse and lots of trees. As night
falls at Happy Days, we rarely hear a sound, other than snoring after a long day of play, our campers are happy and content and sleep well.
We have five different suite sizes. Every suite has its own four-poster bed with comfy bedding, but you can always
bring your dogs favorite
bedding from home. The suites, as well as the indoor playroom, are heated and air
conditioned, the floors are heated. and fresh air is always being circulated.
We recommend that you tour our facility with your dog. This gives your dog the opportunity to become comfortable with Happy Days in your presence. It affords your dog a positive experience and assures you that you have made the correct choice boarding at Happy Days. Your dog will have an easier time assimilating into the camp routine having visited with you prior to their first stay. (A current Bordetella vaccination is required 72 hours in advance)
After visiting our facility, you will be comfortable about leaving your dog with us. There is nothing worse than going on a trip or vacation, and constantly worrying about your dog. We encourage you to call us for a full report on how your dog is doing. Our goal is to make both you and your dog comfortable.
Helpful hints for making your first boarding experience a positive one:
Schedule a trial day for your dog - we offer day care Monday through Friday
Stay positive, your dog will react to your nervousness, which can make it harder to introduce your dog into the camp routine.
Tell our camp counselors about your dogs specific behaviors, the more we know about your dog, the easier it is for us to understand your dog
Schedule any vet visits at least one week prior to your arrival
Check in early. You may want to spend all the time you can with your dog before you leave for vacation, but that is not the best thing for your dog. The earlier you bring your dog the more time they have to meet the other campers & play!

Writer Claims J.K. Rowling Told Him an Alternate Ending To Harry Potter
British investigative journalist Greg Palast is claiming that four years ago, after he struck up an unlikely friendship with J.K. Rowling while the two both had books on the bestseller list, the author confided in him that she had discarded some alternate endings to Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. One of the endings is notably different than the one that made the final cut, and Palast recounts it on his blog, noting, "Sorry Jo, that's the danger of befriending an investigative reporter." In this version, Harry defeats Voldemort with a time-reversing spell that eventually freezes the Dark Lord as a child in his parents' embrace, and the epilogue is even more controversial: Harry is the headmaster at Hogwarts, Ginny turned herself into a bird instead of growing old (totally normal behavior), and their great-great grandson, "Tom," has evil stirrings. "Harry watched [Tom], and knew the whole world would soon darken again for generations to come," Palast writes. Non-canonical! [Greg Palast]

You Will Find Me, if Allah so Wills, Among Those Who Are Patient
In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful.
"And when he reached with him [the age of] exertion, he said, "O my son, indeed I have seen in a dream that I [must] sacrifice you, so see what you think." He said, "O my father, do as you are commanded. You will find me, if Allah wills, of the steadfast." And when they had both submitted and he put him down upon his forehead, We called to him, "O Abraham, You have fulfilled the vision." Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good. Indeed, this was the clear trial." (Qur'an 37:102-106)
Above is the conversation between Ibrahim `alayhi sallatu wa sallam (may God send His peace and blessings on him) and one of his sons. Here we see that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala (exalted is He) asks Ibrahim (as) to make the most difficult of sacrifices. There are many kinds of tribulations in this world that leave us at utter loss and dismay, but one of the most painful tribulations for a parent is to lose his or her child. Yet, in the verses above we see a very different reaction from Ibrahim (as), and more so from his son. Allah (swt) makes it very clear at the end that it was obviously a trial for them. So what exactly makes these people different from us as to how we react to a test from Allah (swt)? A growing epidemic among Muslims today is the absolute impatience with the decree of Allah (swt). Oftentimes we see negativity in everything that unexpectedly happens to us; we completely lose our cool when afflicted with tribulation. And why do we react this way so often? Perhaps because our priorities are skewed and we trust ourselves more than we trust our Lord (swt).
Ibrahim (as) and his son were in a complete state of submission to their Lord—they had an undeniable certainly that their Lord, Al Lateef (the Gentle, the Subtle), would never hurt them, that they were in the good hands of Al Waali (the Protecter). To make it clearer, Imam al Ghazali (may God have mercy on him) said that it does not matter what situation you are in, what matters is what you make out of that situation. This means that we need to realize and be confident in what really matters. Our priority is to be successful in terms of the akhira (afterlife). Our priority is to be in obedience to Allah (swt) in every living condition possible.
Allah (swt) Exists when we are unwell and when we are well. He (swt) Exists when we are poor and when we are rich, when we are sad and when we are happy. So what difference does our state make when, in every state, Al Hay (the Living God) is ever-present with us? Can't a poor person be more beloved to Allah (swt) than a rich person because of his mindfulness of Allah? Can't a person with cancer be more beloved to Allah than a healthy person because of her love for Allah (swt)? We don't have knowledge of the unseen. We don't know what His plans for us are. But the knowledge that Allah (swt) did convey to us through His messengers is that the only thing that has any value in His sight is our taqwa (mindfulness of God). And the moment we internalize this, our problems of dunya (this life) will begin to look insignificant. How can outward and arbitrary tribulations be tribulations when we know that these events, by no means, can take us away from His obedience?
Some may ask, well if Allah has already decreed everything for us, then what's the point of life anyway? Yes, whatever Allah (swt) has decreed will come to pass, but the point is not what Allah has decreed, the point is our reaction and response to whatever Allah (swt) decreed for us. Let us consider the example of Aasiya (may God be pleased with her): it was decreed that she would marry Pharaoh, but her forbearance and absolute conviction in the hereafter brought her so close to Allah (swt) that Allah showed her her house in Paradise. So next time we face a dead end in life, let's remember that the situation at hand is not important. The importance actually lies in the fact that Allah (swt) has given you a chance to prove your love for Him.
And why should our priority be the akhira and not the dunya? Because whether good or bad, our life will come to an end very soon, but the hereafter is eternal. After 50 years it won't matter if you got accepted to Yale or not. What's going to matter for eternity is our relationship with our Lord. We all want to go to Jannah (Paradise), but the even the thought of death makes us uncomfortable. Perhaps that is because deep inside we know that we are not serious enough about our permanent abode. Most of us get worried out of our wits when we can't hand in an assignment on time, but we couldn't care less about the call of the adhaan (the call to prayer) five times a day. We log onto Facebook every day, but we forget to open the book of Allah as often. Allah (swt) is not being unfair to us, we are being unfair to ourselves by mixing up our priorities.
Our Prophet ﷺ was never disquieted or agitated in a moment of tribulation. Even in the most difficult day of his life, he ended his prayer by telling Allah, "So long as You are not angry with me, I don't care." Agitation at the tribulations around us is inconsistent with the characteristic of believers.
"It is He who sent down tranquillity into the hearts of the believers that they would increase in faith along with their [present] faith. And to Allah belong the soldiers of the heavens and the earth, and ever is Allah Knowing and Wise." (Qur'an 48:4)
We need to internalize the fact that we come from Allah (swt) and we will return to Allah (swt). We have to remember that we are in good hands. It's strange that we love and trust our parents so much, yet we do not fully trust Allah's plans for us— whose plan it was in the first place to send us to these safe hands. We know with utter conviction that these two temporary guardians (our mum and dad) will take care of us, yet we don't believe our real and eternal Guardian will take care of us. He took care of us before we had our parents. He took care of us when we were in the wombs. He (swt) took care of us when we couldn't even ask for anything. If He took care of us through all this, how can we think He will forsake us now and not give us what is best for us? Brothers and sisters in Islam, let us be mindful of our Lord and straighten our affairs with Him. The result to this will be that He (swt) will straighten the rest of our affairs for us, perhaps in ways we're not going to quite understand.
"O you who have believed, seek help through patience and prayer. Indeed, Allah is with the patient." – (Qur'an 2:153)

Ya Allah ! make our affairs pleasing to You by making us (all muslim brothers & sisters)of the sabiroon – Aameen.
Jazaak Allah Khair, sister for this wonderful post!
Vey inspiring piece I hope the Muslim Ummah will utilize it more power to your elbow.
Great article MashAllah! It's so true that we have so many fears in this life because we do not have complete faith and reliance in Allah(SWT). May Allah(SWT) bless you for this article and make us of those who have complete reliance and trust in him.
Alahmadulillah, i have been confused over this issue for years, and have never had a satisfactory explaination to what has been written verses free will. masha'allah this artical makes sense of it all. jazakala khair
Jazakallah khair for this lovely post!
SubhanAllah, just what i needed! , JazakhAllah khair for this!
A very thought-provoking article, Masha'Allah. I can relate to the part where you talk about trusting Allah (swt) with your affairs. Once you do, all the heartache, the tears, the anxiety, the ifs & buts – they all go away and you find yourself living a more peaceful life, and better equipped to respond to and deal with calamities.
Wow that was an awesome story. Thank you for sharing this.
For me this website is very helpful because I being only 14 years old teenager going through all of this need to learn more.Especially how I'm living in the West.
Assalamu alaykum
Good article, jzk. Very beneficial and interesting as well. I just have a question about this verse you put at the end of the article. Allah is telling us to seek help through patience and prayer, and that he is with those who are patient. How do I seek help through patience? What am I supposed to ask Allah in prayer? Maybe it can be better explained if the Arabic is broken down.
Wa alaikum as salam warahmatullah
Imam Ibn Kathir (Rahimahullah)in his tafsir makes the point that the verse before this talks about gratitude. So in these two verses the characteristics of gratitude and patience are being juxtaposed. A slave of Allah swt can either be in a state bounty or in a state of tribulation, for the former he/she should be grateful to Allah swt and for the latter he/she should be patient, and these two responses are among the highest form of 'ibada (worship), as they are according to the command of Allah swt, our Lord.
This is how we seek help through patience, by being in obedience to Him even in a state of great tribulation, for verily Allah swt is seeing our hardship and our constant struggle to please Him.
As for prayer, we can ask Allah swt for anything halaal in our prayers inshaAllah. Anas ibn Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said,
"Let one of you ask his Lord concerning his needs – all of them – until he asks him even for a shoestring when his breaks."
[Sunan At-Tirmidhi, Book of Supplications, Hadith No. 3963. Classed as Sahih]
We should extensively make dua for our beloved Prophet (saw), ourselves, our loved ones, our ummah and humanity in general. We should strive to be among the people of Tahajjud bi'idnillah. And Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala knows best.
There are two lectures by Shaykh Hamza Yusuf (Hafidhahullah) that really helped regarding this matter:
1. 17 benefits of tribulation
2. There is no calamity if there is certainty
Hope that helps!
keep doing the good work
Subhaanal Laah! Jazaakumul Laahu khairan
JAK. this really hit home for me.
superb! Jazak Allahu khair for writing this. You truly have the words to put things into perspective, masha Allah. Thank you!
"whatever Allah (swt) has decreed will come to pass, but the point is not what Allah has decreed, the point is our reaction and response to whatever Allah (swt) decreed for us."
aaaah! now it makes sense jazak'Allah for this article
Jazakallahu Khair, beautifully written. Could feel each and every word!
Mashallah v good article!!!!. Jazakallahukair
Ma'sha'allah, beautiful post and reminder for us, especially in these difficult times as whole for the community as well as for the situations we deal with individually. Jazak'Allahu Khairan Sr. Shohala
Subhanallah.Such a beautiful piece of writing. It brought tears to my eyes. May almighty allah grant us all with an abundance of patience in every aspect of our live's.
Ya ikhwaan, I implore you to please make dua for my sister and family. We have had a multitude of calamities befall us for the last five years and the situation is nearing its final weeks. Please make dua for my sister that Allah swt grants her freedom and frees her from her calamity.
Jazak'Allah khair
Baarak'Allah feekum

Young Turks clash with security forces in Ankara, Turkey, Sunday, June 2, 2013. Turkey's prime minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Sunday rejected claims that he is a "dictator," dismissing protesters as an extremist fringe, even as thousands returned to the landmark Istanbul square that has become the site of the fiercest anti-government outburst in years. (AP Photo/Burhan Ozbilici)
WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House is calling for all parties in Turkey to "calm the situation" amid anti-government protests.
In a statement, spokeswoman Laura Lucas says the U.S. believes peaceful public demonstrations "are a part of democratic expression." And she says Turkey's long-term stability is best guaranteed by upholding "the fundamental freedoms of expression, assembly and association."
The White House statement in particular calls on security forces in Turkey to "exercise restraint."
Thousands of people around Turkey have been protesting in the country's fiercest anti-government demonstrations in years. Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan rejected claims that he is a "dictator," dismissing protesters as an extremist fringe.

No apology was offered for the noise. It was like a frat party. Then we get to the room and there is not TV guide or information about the hotel. I was shocked at the size and décor of the room. It reminded me of a dorm room in college. Actually my dorm room may have been bigger and was not $---/night. When we checked out the desk clerk never asked how our stay was or thanked us for staying. This is customer service 101. It was my first and last stay at Aloft. Unfortunately people have asked about our trip to Atlanta and the first thing that comes to mind is the lousy hotel stay. ...

The options for all-you-can-eat crab are getting rather slim… many places are no longer offering this on their menu. Slim McGinn's bit the dust (now O'Lydias), Paulie's Pub assured me they dropped it (even though it's still on their website) but thank heavens Las Palmas is still going strong! Yes, that Mexican place on the corner of 60th & Burnham has all-you-can-eat crab legs!
October 22, 2012
Great Mexican food & all can eat crab legs the best crab in town best fajitas I m definitely I'm recommend **** try the Barbacoa mexicana
January 16, 2012
AWFUL, HORRIBLE, NOT WHAT IT USED TO BE. Earlier last week, I went online to review the menu and to see if anything came with the "all you can eat crab legs." The price listed was still 26.95 which I didn't think was horrible. My friends…
These dishes from the Las Palmas menu are contributed by Menuism users directly, as part of a restaurant review, or as part of an image upload.

Wireless 411 Directory Information
First, this nationwide directory will become operational in 2006. However, it won't include all cell phone numbers. What is proposed is a dynamic privacy protected database of cell phone users from six large carriers. When the wireless directory launches, it will be empty. To be listed in this free directory, you must opt in through your cell carrier. The participating carriers include:
- AllTell
- ATT Wireless
- Sprint
- T-Mobile
Noticeably absent from the list is Verizon. Verizon's President stated the wireless directory is a "terrible idea". One concern is the database could be misused and subject users to unwanted sales calls. Qsent, who is the directory aggregator for the carriers, says this won't happen because there are safeguards to remove the caller information from the operator's display once the operator is through with the record. The company also does not offer the information in an online format such as AnyWho or print like your local Yellow Pages. These carriers also suggest telemarketers and salespeople aren't inclined to use 411 to find prospects because of the cost.
Apart from misuse, various groups are concerned about privacy. While the Qsent system is being developed, Congress is developing the Wireless Privacy 411 Act. If this becomes law, there will be tighter restrictions on data use and a provision for accepting or rejecting directory calls from any carrier. There are also several states working on similar laws that might get preempted.
The important point is you have the right to choose to be included in this directory. Regardless of your decision, you should start looking for notices from your cell carrier on this issue. You should also consider these two questions:
1. Is there a benefit to me to be in the directory? For some people, who use a cell phone as their only phone, you might want to be included. This is especially true if you use that number for business.
2. Are you satisfied with how your data will be handled if you opt-in? Some people will be comfortable and see this directory as another phone directory. Others may be more concerned as one or more third parties are involved. The number of third parties depends on how your carrier handles 411 calls. Some carriers contract out this service.
Finally, the National Do Not Call Registry is to prevent telemarketers and automated dialing systems from calling personal numbers. Being listed in this registry does not have a bearing on being listed in the wireless directory.
