Read Poems by
Standing alone in the chessboard of life...
Distinguishing between the black & the white...
A hell lot of allies all around...
But yet I'm solitary when rivals surround:
I'm the king of the clan yet...
A paltry pawn is also a threat!
In the chequered track as I inch ahead,
A thousand fears dangle over my head...
In every step,all is at stake...
Ruins will rain with my slightest mistake!
Sometimes,I fear my own men~
As if conspiracy is there in their Ken;
Fed up I am with the thorns in the throne....
Having plethora of possessions,there is nothing that I own!!!

Leukemia is the most common cancer in children. As a result, many people don't realize that it also affects adults. In fact, leukemia is most common in people older than 60.
The National Cancer Institute estimates that about 45,000 people were diagnosed with leukemia in 2009. Of those, around 10 percent were younger than 20. Almost 54 percent of them were age 55 or older.
What is leukemia?
Leukemia is a type of cancer that affects the blood-forming cells in the bone marrow. In leukemia, bone marrow produces abnormal white blood cells called leukemia cells. These cells don't function normally, and they don't die off as they should. Over time they crowd out normal white blood cells, red blood cells and platelets. This makes it hard for the blood to do its many jobs.
What are the types of leukemia?
Leukemia is classified by how quickly it progresses and by the type of blood cells it affects.
- Chronic leukemia gets worse slowly. It may not cause symptoms in its early stages. When symptoms start, they may be mild and gradually get worse.
- Acute leukemia progresses rapidly and requires quick, aggressive treatment.
- Lymphocytic leukemia occurs in the bone marrow cells that produce lymphocytes, white blood cells that are part of the body's immune system.
- Myelogenous leukemia occurs in myeloid cells, the bone marrow cells that produce red blood cells, some white blood cells and platelets.
The common types of leukemia in adults are:
- Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). This is the most common form of leukemia in adults. It is usually diagnosed after age 55. It is very rare in children.
- Acute myeloid leukemia (AML). This is the second most common type of leukemia in adults. It also occurs in children.
- Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). This type affects mainly adults.
- Acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL). This type can affect adults but is most often diagnosed in young children.
There are some other types of leukemia, such as hairy cell leukemia. But they are rare.
What increases the risk?
Experts are not sure what causes leukemia, but some things are known to raise the risk of developing this type of cancer. Some known risk factors include:
- Exposure to high levels of radiation, such seen in survivors of an atomic bomb explosion such as Hiroshima or Nagasaki.
- Long-term exposure to benzene, which is used in the making of many other chemicals. It is also found in tobacco smoke.
- Chemotherapy. Certain cancer-fighting drugs can lead to leukemia years later.
- Genetic disorders such as Down syndrome.
Having any of these risk factors does not mean a person will get leukemia. Most people who get leukemia have no known risk factors.
What are the symptoms?
Symptoms may vary depending on the type of leukemia and the number of leukemia cells in the body. However, some common symptoms include:
- Swollen lymph nodes (especially in the neck or armpit)
- Fever or night sweats
- Frequent infections
- Weakness and fatigue
- Easy bruising and bleeding
- Swelling or discomfort in the belly
- Unexplained weight loss
- Joint or bone pain
These symptoms have many possible causes besides cancer. But if you have any of these symptoms, see your doctor right away to find out what is causing them.

If you work at a UPS that requires Union membership for hourly work then chances are you have the best benefits period, even part time work which is unheard of.
You start off doing extreme physical labor doing part time work loading and unloading trucks. It will get you in shape or injure you, those are usually the only 2 outcomes.

I was an accountant for fifteen years. Most of that time was in public accounting where I saw the inner workings of a great many businesses, large and small. This gave me a broad understanding of business practices and the financial decisions people make, both good and disastrous. All the while I was an accountant, I knew I wanted to have my own business and I gathered information that was useful to me. When I had the chance, I started my own business. First I had a book selling business and then a publishing business. What worked for me was becoming an antique map dealer. The first five years I worked out of my home and invested in maps. Then I opened a shop, I offered framing services and I produced reproductions which I sold in my shop at retail and I also wholesaled them. So I have experience with starting a company, publicity, retail buying and selling. I also self-published a book of reference for dealers in antique paper and maps. After eighteen profitable years I sold my antique map business and retired.

Nearly every small business has a website today…and no wonder. A 2011 Pew Internet study found that nearly half of all searches for local businesses are conducted online (newspapers finished a distant second).

Mosaic TherapyRead MoreMosaic Therapy, a non-profit organization, strives to help families in need through tutoring. Certified teachers (most of whom have their Masters degrees) focus on incorporating students' emotions as a part of the learning process. Tutors aim to increase confidence and create successful learners, while creating a platform for engaging students and providing interventions. The staff understands that culture is a key factor in learning, and that's why they try to communicate with clients in their native language as opposed to nongeographic forms of communication like semaphore. They also work with adults, with therapy options and education courses specifically designed for couples, parents, and the entire family.801 Skokie Blvd., Ste. 106Lincolnshire, IL US
Creekside FarmRead MoreHead trainer Jacki Larisch passes along an abiding passion for horsemanship to each student that she works with at Creekside Farm. Jacki inherited her love of horses from her parents, themselves International Federation for Equestrian Sports (FEI) level competitors, and it continued through her four years as a member of The Ohio State University Hunt Seat Equestrian team. Today, Jacki shares her experience in proper English hunter and jumping technique in lessons that aim to create knowledgeable, well-rounded equestrians even if their previous experience only involves hours spent on coin-operated stallions outside grocery stores.25147 N. Gilmer Rd.Mundelein, IL US
Just Your Art StudioRead MoreJust Your Art's proprietor draws from a wealth of training and experience to help students of any ability level hone their skills. She has a background in medical and architectural illustration that helps her create lifelike depictions of figures and structures. To boot, her master's degree in education allows her to wear a mortarboard and gown at all times. She works with students to cultivate a joy of self-expression and accomplishment found in creating their own paintings, whether they are grownups enjoying sips of wine between brush strokes or kids discovering their talents during summer classes. Young ones learn the history of art and the finer points of sketching and painting during summer camps, and BYOB parties combine the thrill of girls' nights out with the beauty of artistic creation, defined as turning a wine glass into a wine glass that's balanced atop your head while you paint. The staff sells cappuccinos, lattes, and real fruit smoothies.446 N Lake St.Mundelein, IL US
Peter Patterson GlassworksRead MoreThough glass art has been Peter Patterson?s career for more than 35 years, glimpses of his other passions come through in his pieces, from his knowledge of plants to his scuba explorations of exotic seascapes. Indeed, he shapes searing-hot glass with the same fluidity as water, drawing on lessons from master teachers and his own background as an illustrator. The forms often flow around pre-fused decorations and even phosphorous elements that glow in the dark. At the end of class, students observe as Patterson creates his complex sea-form vase. Afterward, students may purchase this demo piece along with memorial keepsakes and incandescent light bulbs at a discount in the gallery.888 Tower RdMundelein, IL US
VIP Fitness - MundeleinRead MoreEquipment: Weights, dumbbells, kettle bells, med balls, turf, tires, machines, etc. Students should bring: Wear comfortable exercise attire and bring a bottle of water. Average class length: 60 minutes Number of Staff: 1–5 people Class location: Mix of indoor and outdoor classes Established: 2010 Registration required: Yes Good for beginners: Yes Guests allowed: Yes Parking: Parking lot Pro Tip: RSVP in advance, wear comfortable clothing that accomodates for the weather; we go outside when it's nice. width=1421 Armour Blvd.Mundelein, IL US
Total Body YogaRead MoreIt may seem like a paradox, but yoga can provide relaxation as much as it provides exercise. With a broad slate of more than a dozen types of classes, Total Body Yoga lets you have it both ways. The curriculum ranges from gentle restorative yoga classes to higher-energy sessions that feature more challenging poses at a quicker clip. Beyond the yoga mat, the staff also leads meditation workshops and weeklong children's summer camps that encourage kids to use their creativity constructively through yoga fitness, games, music, and crafts.210 Terrace DriveMundelein, IL US

What we do not say, at our town hall meetings, or on Radio 4, is that round many Friday night, Shabbat dinner tables, the place where families meet, eat and debate, many anxiety ridden conversations have been taking place for the past month about the loss of innocent life in Gaza and whether the current war is going to bring the moderation we all want to win out long term.
A humanitarian disaster is unfolding in and around Northern Iraq and the international community has been too slow to respond to it. We cannot turn the clock back on that but it is vital that international efforts are ramped up. I therefore support UK participation in those efforts, and through our role in the United Nations and other organisations, we should urgently identify what more can be done.
The reality is that the footage we, war journalists, capture in the field isn't always 'striking' or insightful. In many cases we are forced to stand a good way from the frontline for our own safety, or if we are on the frontline, we can't stay there for long... unmanned remote control drones fitted with high definition gyroscopic cameras will change the role of the war reporter.
Nguyen Ngoc, a strong looking 82-year-old man, is famous in Vietnam for his novels depicting the country's brave people in the wars against the French and the American in Central Highlands. He is now leading the fight in a new front, a tireless campaign to stop a project in which Chinese companies are heavily involved in Central Highland, known as Tay Nguyen in Vietnam.
Adopting a digital-first strategy has helped drive continuous innovation and improvement of our editorial content. It has given us the chance to develop new, immersive ways of storytelling. Doing so has required the development of new technologies, like our recently launched new Guardian app or our award-winning interactive features, to improve how our content is delivered to readers and to ensure that our editorial teams have the best tools to bring their stories to life.
It is clear that social media is now an indispensable part of the toolkit for anyone involved in modern conflict, but it also seems likely that its impact will help shape military tactics and decision making in the future. Political commentators occasionally refer to the 'CNN effect', where emotive TV pictures encourage governments to both enter and exit wars and humanitarian disasters.
The inconvenient truth is that the collective punishment of the Palestinian people in Gaza is a collective endeavour in its own right - led by Israel, enforced by Egypt, endorsed by Saudi Arabia. Pity the poor Palestinians. Their territories are occupied by the Jewish state; their cause is abandoned by the Arab world.
In Iraq, right now, an ancient culture is being exterminated, wiped from the face of human history. The Yazidi minority had, until recently, found relative safe haven in Kurdish-controlled areas... However, recent reversals have forced both the Iraqi and Kurdish governments to withdraw their forces from the region, as ISIS continued its murderous advance across the north and west of the country.
With the departure of Burt, Hague and now Warsi, the FCO is left without any ministers who show any deep personal commitment to human rights... It would be unfair to prejudge Philip Hammond and Baroness Anelay, Sayeeda Warsi's replacement, this early on. Instead, one must simply appeal to them to prove the sceptics wrong.
The rise of Ukip, the vitriolic discussion over the relaxation of border controls relating to Romania and Bulgaria, the abolishment of the UKBA and now the problems at the Passport Office, show that immigration is, without doubt, an all-consuming issue for the public and one that is going to be at the front of voters' minds on and before 7 May 2015. However, the government, rather than shadow boxing with Ukip by continuing to make claims over a net migration figure they have no control over, should create a structure that ensures immigration is given its full attention. After all you can have as many silver bullet policies as you like, but without the gun to fire them you're never going to hit the target.
Occasionally everyone stops what they are doing; the doctors, nurses, and cleaners. Everyone. All attention is directed to the decontamination exit from high risk zone. A patient is being discharged. Like a celebrity the survivor is surrounded by an excitable crowd of whooping and clapping. The beaming faces of the crowd reflected in the broad smile and shining eyes of the survivor. It is an intensely emotional moment, though often bittersweet.
Over the past four weeks the world has watched a humanitarian tragedy unfold in Gaza. For UN staff like me it has been particularly tough. Nine of our schools have been attacked, 11 of my colleagues have been killed. They include Ahmed Mohamed Mohamed Ahmed, a school principal, Inas Shaban Derbas, a 30 year-old teacher and the youngest, Abdallah Naser Khalil Fahajan, who at 21 was a school attendant. UN chief, secretary-general Ban Ki-moon called the most recent attack on Sunday, which took place next to a boys' prep school in Rafah and led to nine deaths including that of a colleague: "a moral outrage and a criminal act."

In this course, Pulitzer-nominated photographer Natalie Fobes takes viewers into the studio and on location to explore the many elements that combine to make an effective photo.
The course explores compositional elements that guide a viewer's eye, including the rule of thirds; leading lines, patterns, and curves; and depth of field. Natalie then details the roles of color and light in a photo. She shows how to work with the natural light in a room or outdoor location, and how to enhance it using reflectors, newspapers, a T-shirt, or whatever might be handy. She also shows some simple indoor lighting setups that can replicate the look of natural light.
The course continues with a look at movement and how a photographer can convey a sense of motion by blurring part of the image or freezing a fast-moving subject. Next, Natalie explores the concepts of peak action and the decisive moment—those split seconds that capture the essence or emotion of a subject or scene. The course wraps up with a discussion of the roles of planning and research in creating effective photos.
So this is where we ended the last movie, with a key, or main, light. Now we're going to add a second light. It will be filling in the shadows. That's why we call it a fill light. The exposure for both of them is about F/11, and they're placed about three feet away from Margo. Now see how the shadows have disappeared? Everything is evenly lit. Now Margo, can you smile for me? Oh! That's great! That's very nice.
Her smile really works with this lighting. Now I'm going to move the second light, the fill light, back to about twice the distance, and we can see how the shadows are starting to change. They're a little bit deeper, but very beautiful, very dimensional in their look on her face. Now go ahead and smile again. There you go. Big smile! There you go. Okay, it works so well with her expression.
Now I'm going to move a little bit back further, and you can see that the shadows are starting to deepen and look at the line between the highlights and the shadows. It's really starting to get contrasty again. Now give me another smile please, yeah. The expression is still beautiful, but with the lighting message that I'm starting to give, it's not quite as good. I'm really going to move back.
So now, you can really see how the shadows have deepened and check out again that line between highlight and shadow. Okay, now give me a smile. You know it's a little bit too contrasty for that expression, and so with this lightning, I think I want a more subtle look. Can you just a little, and now let's try a serious look. There you go. So what is the right lighting for this portrait? As with everything in lighting, it's subjective, and it really depends on your lighting message.

The Shelby County Coroner's office has named the person killed in a one-vehicle accident on I-64 just west of Simpsonville's Exit 28.
Shelby County Chief Deputy Coroner Ittin Russell has identified the victim as Katy East, 33, of Shelbyville. Kentucky State Police trooper Eddie Whitworth had said there were two adults in the vehicle, a silver Toyota. The surviving adult, who was driving, was taken to the University of Louisville and two children were taken to Kosair Children's Hospital with unknown injuries, he said.
July is National Picnic Month and what better reason is there to wine and dine among nature?
But before you grab your basket and head outside, a little menu preparation may be in order. Knowing exactly what to pack can be tough. Nobody wants to go on a picnic with a loaf of bread, some bologna and a pack of American cheese.
It's time to step up your outdoor diner, and surprise your family or your sweetheart with something a little more thoughtful and delicious.
Before long, renovation will be underway to convert a vacant building in Governor's Square into a new Kosair Children's Hospital Medical Associates office.
Visitors to Clear Creek Park can't miss the sight of colorful, high-end playground equipment being installed near the Family Activity Center.
Bright yellow railings, slides and a climbing apparatus, topped by canopies, much of which is already in place, looks like a children's fairyland, compared to the old equipment that dated from the 1970s.
What could be better than six new recycling containers for the county's state-of-the-art solid waste facility?
For one thing, the new containers – costing $7,200 each – are not only completely free, thanks to a newly-received grant, but they are also going to be works of art, said Solid Waste Director Rick Solomon.
"We have ordered six recycling trailers that we will wrap in Shelby County history," he said.
"We will blow them [photos] up and wrap those containers in those pictures."
A major auto dealership closed its doors last week with the unexpected closing of Jeff Wyler Chevrolet Buick GMC of Shelbyville.
At least it was unexpected to the dealership's 25 employees, who lost their jobs immediately, said Tim Hawk, the manager of the dealership.
As the weekend rolled in, storms rolled through Shelby County leaving trees in roadways and some without power.
With wind gusts topping out around 70 miles per hour, between 5:30 and 6:30 p.m., work for Craig Myatt, Shelby County road supervisor, began just after 6 p.m.
"I got the first calls from dispatch around six o'clock and we worked about four and half hours to get roads open," he said. "We're going back today [Monday] to pick up and clean up the locations we had."
The Shelby Regional Arts Council (SRAC) will host its first-ever art gallery Sep. 19-20 at the First Christian Church in Shelbyville.
The gallery, the first of its kind in nearly 10 years, according to Howard Griffith, SRAC committee member, is only the beginning of the organizations plan to help revitalize the visual arts community in Shelby County.
The Shelby County Board of Education Thursday took another reluctant look at what it is asking parents and teacher to spend for children to attend school.
Last month board members voted in approval of presented student fees, with some slight hesitance.
Several board members noted that asking parents to pay student fees on top of the already climbing cost of supplies could be putting a financial burden on many.
A former Shelbyville/Shelby County Parks and Recreation employee who was arrested last week after being indicted for theft from the Family Activity Center is coming up for arraignment.
Heather Beth Simmons of Pleasureville, who previously served as the youth services director for the park system, will have an arraignment hearing July 20 in Shelby Circuit Court.
"They have to set it for arraignment," said Shelbyville attorney Sam Carl, who, along with Bill Stewart, will most likely be representing Simmons.

For One Day Only: $1=$4, Thanks to Matching from BIG Donors
In Hong Kong, there are certainly some inconveniences involved in finding every last product necessary to recreate the Pesach we had in New York. But, we have found it is merely a matter of mastering logistics and advance planning. Sometimes it involves finding shlepers coming in from the States willing to take a few bulky boxes of tasteless Crispy O's and Streits Brownie Mix in an extra suitcase. This is all part of the Hong Kong festival ritual.
Communal Sedarim here are not cold, lonely events for a few lone wanders. We are all strangers in a strange land and participation in communal Sedarim are part of our new Easterly landscape. Living far from our extended family, counter-intuitively we find that our Seder tables do not get smaller here, but exponentially grow and expand with friends from around the world with unique foods and tunes of their own to share. Around the table reading the Haggadah there are Americans, British, French, Yemenites, Israelis, Swiss, Belgians and Indians. It is a time to create original family traditions that blend the old with the new, the West with the East.
For our family, it is also time to take out the Moshe Rabbeinu Lego. This is not part of the latest Adventurers Egypt Set. It is an entirely original product of our own "wandering" through the Far East for eight years. One of the incidental advantages of raising Jewish children in the Far East is the relative absence of Christian culture and symbolism. A couple of years back, my father-in-law brought us a mixed box of old Legos that his neighbor had given him. My children eagerly poured through it, sifting though random bits of Lego past when my then six-year old daughter exclaimed that she had found the most special piece of Lego ever, a Moshe Rabbeinu. She clutched it in her hand and ran into her room to hide her precious find from her brothers. For days, she would barricade her door and only take Moshe Rabbeinu out when she was certain it was safe. All we heard about was this Moshe Rabbeinu figurine.
My pragmatic seven-year old, a naysayer from the start, was insistent that there was no such thing as a Moshe Rabbeinu Lego piece. To backup his declaration, he did a Google search followed by a detailed study of the Lego website. He needed final proof and he burst into her room, tackling her to the ground, prying the figure from her hands.
Quickly responding to break up the fight and to finally see said Moshe Rabbeinu for myself, I find my son on the floor in a fit of hysterics that has brought him to tears. For a moment, I am uncertain whether he is actually crying or laughing. Barely able to catch his breath and speak through his hysterics, he yells out, "It's not Moshe Rabbeinu. It's Santa Claus!"
In tears, my daughter cries out, "Santa Claus? I don't even know who that is. It is Moshe Rabbeinu! Right Mommy? See. He's got the long white beard." She recovers the red suited, wide black-belted, white bearded figure and holds him up for my inspection.
She is six and has never heard of Santa Claus! The Easter Bunny doesn't exist in her consciousness. A Christmas tree or a red wreath in a shopping mall would most likely go unnoticed or be summarily categorized as early Chinese New Year decorations in her head.
I carefully examine the figure and respond to her, "Without the packaging, I can't be 100% certain. You could be right."
My sev en-year old, now frustrated, cries out, "This is ridiculous. Why would Moshe Rabbeinu wear a red snow suit?"
With uninhibited faith she immediately responds, "Duh. The desert is very cold at night."
I know that soon, even here, without the Charlie Brown specials, colorful televised parades and watered-down quasi-religious public school classroom "holiday" celebrations, she will learn what the Easter Bunny is and know what a Christmas tree is. But for now, I can continue to raise her in a Jewish bubble, eating kosher l'Pesach egg noodles with chopsticks.

"Thanks to a local philanthropist who shares our core mission, we now are able to connect more Jewish teens to Israel than ever before," said Todd Cohn, executive director of Southern NCSY.
In September 2013 he was appointed head rabbi of the IDF Central Command and is currently in charge of special projects for the IDF chief rabbinate.

In the quaint and picturesque Hungarian town of Szentendre (Saint Andrew), just outside of Budapest, our group of five new friends who had gathered from throughout the Jewish world bask in the sunlight, seemingly frozen in time. We weave along the cobblestone streets browsing in and out of charming little shops offering handmade crafts, delicate latticework, whimsical wooden toys and intricately painted porcelain. We sit outside and feast on pastries that look more like art than edibles and ice coffee is reminiscent of ice cream floats.
It started as my daughter's third grade assignment: choose a person to write about, preferably an American, preferably a Jew. We were going to do just that. I intended to help my daughter choose the topic and then to back away yet, Emma Lazarus ended up drawing me in.
I met Mr. E at a poetry reading. Hong Kong's literary scene is small and two Americans reading in one evening was an unusual event. We became Facebook friends, generally "liking" the same local literary events and book launches.
A Hong Kong symphony of sounds fills the air as local laborers shout across the shul courtyard in Cantonese while tossing bamboo in a pile for the sukkah: Filipino maids chatter in Tagalog hovering over the children in their charge, the radio of the Nepalese gurkhas, the Synagogue security, crackles and jackhammers provide the background music. The thick air and humidity within the walls of the partially constructed bamboo sukkah sharply contrasts with the crisp fall air of Sukkot in the northeastern corridor of the United States, where the sukkahs of my childhood were laden with dried fruit and autumn color. Dozens of colorful miniature Chinese paper lanterns dangle from the sukkah and here replace the burnt orange and golden gourds of autumn.
