The World Health Organization and Doctors Without Borders, both headquartered in Geneva, have saved many lives. But they have endangered almost as many with their strategy of using unproven and outmoded drugs in developing nations to combat AIDS and malaria.
These AIDS drugs are cheaper and, like European generic drugs, are supposed to be just as effective. But they are not. Laboratory tests cannot confirm that these drugs -- which have not been approved by European or U.S. health authorities -- dissolve properly into the bloodstream to lower virus levels.
So why are the poor receiving second-class medicine?
For many years these organizations have insisted on buying the cheapest drugs on the market, while ducking safety and efficacy concerns. Part of the argument was ideological: Patented drugs were seen as profiteering, while cheap generics were seen as cost effective and favoring developing nations. To be sure, WHO policies saved money and, in theory, allowed more people to be treated.
But now that legacy is catching up with the WHO and NGOs like Doctors Without Borders. Focusing on the cheapest drugs has caused real damage in the case of malaria. The Lancet, a London-based peer-reviewed medical journal, reported in Jan. 2003 that the WHO, along with the U.S. Agency for International Development, approved the purchase of $41 million (€30.9 million) worth of generic, unproven malaria drugs simply because they were cheaper than the patented one. Yet, these "cheap alternatives" were ineffective in treating most malaria cases because of drug resistance. Childhood malaria deaths may have doubled from the use of these drugs, according to the researchers.
In addition to the dangers of outmoded drugs, knockoff AIDS drugs -- made mainly in India -- can kill in other ways. The chilling fact of substandard drugs is that they are the largest cause of drug-resistant strains of HIV and AIDS. Poor copies of AIDS drugs deliver a weak dose to patients, allowing the virus to adapt and then mutate. If these new strains make it to the developed world, there are no available drugs to treat them.
The co-discoverers of HIV, Robert Gallo and Luc Montagnier, are very clear about the importance of treatment standards, cautioning, "If compliance and careful follow-up of patients is not achieved, we will see a dramatic increase in multidrug-resistant HIV mutants whose further spread will only exacerbate the epidemic."
With the grim results of its failed policies becoming more apparent, the WHO asked the Indian drugmakers to provide laboratory tests that prove bioequivalence, or the similar potency of their drugs compared to patented drugs. But the companies could not. They came up with discrepancies in the documentation and failed to prove the efficacy of their medicines. As a result, this summer the WHO delisted five AIDS drugs produced by two Indian drug companies, Ranbaxy and Cipla. While the WHO now says two of those drugs are O.K. now, it has disclosed none of the details behind this change in position.
To their credit, Ranbaxy and another Indian drug company, Hetero, voluntarily withdrew all of their pirated AIDS drugs from the WHO prequalification list.
The Cipla, Hetero and Ranbaxy products are AIDS drugs that are copies of innovative, patented drugs. They have never even been submitted to the European Medicines Agency or the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for approval, let alone received it. Yet these are the same drugs that were recommended by the WHO up until the delistings and recent withdrawals. Sadly, Doctors Without Borders has continued to use these drugs.
In fact, the WHO cannot even independently certify the quality of drugs. It is not a regulatory agency, nor does it have pharmacology experts or regulatory infrastructure to test and certify drugs. On every AIDS drug the WHO "prequalifies" for poor Africans, it makes the following disclaimer: "Inclusion in the list does not constitute an endorsement, or warranty of the fitness, of any product for a particular purpose, including in regard of its safety and efficacy in the treatment of HIV/AIDS."
Despite the lack of proof of potency, the WHO still can't get it right. It insists that the irregularities in the lab results "do not undermine the proven pharmaceutical quality of the medicines -- including their purity and stability..." To add to this delusion, the WHO's coordinator for safety, quality and efficacy of medicines, Lembit Rago, takes pride that "WHO procedures are ultimately improving medicines monitoring mechanisms, which will, in the long term, ensure better quality treatment."
But, what is the cost of this "long term?"
Developing nations are taking a closer look at this and now demand the same quality drugs as those used in the West. South Africa's Medicines Control Council labeled one of Cipla's drugs "undesirable." Ugandan physicians, nurses and pharmacists wrote to U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services Tommy Thompson in May: "We strongly reject provision and dispensing of untested fixed-dose combinations."
As Thompson Ayodele, director for the Institute of Public Policy Analysis in Lagos, Nigeria, wrote in a letter to the Financial Times in April: "The extent of the HIV epidemic and the emergence of resistant strains makes the need for testing more, not less acute. HIV medicines, whether original or generic, should meet the most stringent rigorous clinical and testing reviews. If the proposed drugs are rejected by pharmacies in Brussels, Geneva, London, Tokyo or Washington, accepting the use of the same drugs in Africa, with little resources and lack of equipment to do a proper clinical and scientific evaluation, may further compound the woes of HIV/AIDS victims."
The removal of these drugs from the WHO list is a victory for poor AIDS patients throughout the world. The U.S. government, along with private think tanks and scientists, has long expressed concern about the quality of these drugs. In fact, the FDA set up a special fast-track system to verify drug efficacy. While none of the companies producing the cheap copy drugs submitted them for this review, at least the WHO and two of the Indian drugmakers, Ranbaxy and Hetero, finally have done the right thing for AIDS patients in poor countries.
Ranbaxy is to be commended for voluntarily pulling its products, issuing recall notices and offering immediate credit. The company also sent letters to health-care providers asking them to identify patients using their drugs and report adverse effects. Ranbaxy even offered to provide alternative drugs.
The WHO should do as much and use this experience to develop recall procedures for taking other unproven drugs off its approved list, should such removal prove necessary. In addition, determining possible adverse reactions among patients can only be achieved through postmarketing surveys in the field. While the WHO can mandate these procedures as a condition of prequalification, the responsibility to conduct and finance them should rest with the manufacturers themselves.
Most importantly, the world needs to know how we got to this deplorable stage -- the disregard for health-care standards that the WHO was created to foster. Since stringent regulatory authorities in developed countries have substantial experience with recall procedures, postmarketing studies and enforcement mechanisms, the WHO needs to convene an independent panel of experts from these members and seek their guidance before it continues with business as usual.
It's high time we give the world's poor the very best medicine that the world has to offer. The cost of the status quo is too painful to bear.

Egypt vows 'not to leave Gaza alone'
With its attacks, Israel is denying Palestinians their rights and efforts to establish an independent state, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas said Friday.
"This is an aggression against all Palestinian people," he said.
He cited the deaths of two babies as a result of Israeli airstrikes. One was the 11-month-old son of a BBC journalist in Gaza, BBC Foreign Editor Jon Williams said.
Egyptian Prime Minister Hesham Kandil got a firsthand look Friday at destruction while on a tour with Hamas Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh.
His rhetoric toward Israel was diplomatic, though his voice was halting as he struggled to get his words out after seeing a dead year-old boy.
"No one can remain still and watch this tragedy unfold in this fashion," Kandil said. "This is impossible. The whole world must intervene, and Israel must abide by the agreements and stop the aggression."
The armed conflict is likely to further erode Israel's fragile relationship with Egypt, which recalled its ambassador to Israel on Wednesday in protest over the ongoing strikes. It also delivered a formal protest to the Israeli government.
"Egypt will not leave Gaza alone, and what is happening there is a blatant aggression against humanity," said Egyptian President Mohammed Morsy.
His Cabinet chief noted, however, that Egypt's peace treaty with Israel is safe.
"But respecting a peace treaty does not mean to stay idle or indifferent to what is going on along our borders," said Mohamed Refa'a al-Tahtawi, who promised "medical, logistical and humanitarian" support for Palestinians.

Hi Tom,When adding a task to a Smart List on the iPad app, the task properties should be inherited, just as in the web app. If this isn't happening, be sure the search criteria for the Smart List are unambiguous, as described on this page.However, if you have a Smart List that is inheriting correctly in the web app but not in the iPad app, would you be able to contact us? We'd love to take a closer look.Thanks!

Prairie Vista Meadows is one of dozens of subdivisions scattered around the outskirts of Colorado Springs in eastern El Paso County.
It's just 63 lots, carved out of former ranchland, where folks trying to get away from the city go and buy five-acre ranchettes.
Sometimes, they envision themselves as gentlemen farmers, with a horse or a cow or maybe another farm animal or two.
One of the big selling points is the spectacular views they enjoy of Pikes Peak and the Front Range from their vantage 10 miles or more from downtown Springs.
But folks trying to get away from the city sometimes take their issues with them to the countryside.
That's the case at Prairie Vista Meadows where a couple homeowners are complaining about the homeowners association, covenants and architectural control committee governing life in the subdivision.
They are angry that the rules limit the number and types of farm animals to just two horses or cows.
Homeowner Chris Meier wanted a llama to guard his two cows from coyotes that roam the plains. And a goat would be nice. Or maybe some chickens. He wants his eight children involved in 4H programs and that might mean raising any variety of barnyard animals.
Neighbor Shannon Rogers wanted a third horse to go with her original two. And maybe a horse arena. And she wants to store a trailer behind a screen of Blue Spruce trees.
Both said they were misled by developer Craig McConnell to believe the HOA would be relaxed and willing to waive covenants and let them bend the rules.
McConnell sells real estate with his wife, Noreen, through Avalar Real Estate Solutions in Falcon.
McConnell said they misunderstood. He said the rules are the rules. Most of the 24 homeowners in Prairie Vista Meadows like the rules and want them enforced. He said five-acre lots are not big enough to allow many animals.
Here is a look at the subdivision from the El Paso County Assessor's website:
McConnell said he's trying to maintain the quality of the development by enforcing the covenants. He accuses Meier of wanting to take control of the HOA and rewrite the covenants to suit his lifestyle.
He says Meier has been out of compliance with covenants since he moved in last June for failing to paint his barn and for not screening his RV behind a fence or in a building, as rules require.
Meier counters that he likes the covenants and simply wants residents of the neighborhood to control the HOA, not a developer and his partners who don't live in Prairie Vista Meadows.
The moral of the story is a classic: read everything before you buy and get all promises in writing.

Did I Leave the Gas On?
By R3DZ3D (9 reviews) from Farnham , 13 Jul 2006[Highly rated reviewer]
I thoroughly enjoyed the first 'Pirates' film, but 'Pirates 2' leaves you with a faint suspicion that maybe you should have got more out of it.
Whilst it could never be accused of failing to deliver one spectacular action sequence after another, what it sadly lacks is continuity. You are rushed from one death defying and in many cases nigh on impossible stunt to the next, whilst dropping in a tasty character development to keep you wanting more.
At well over 2 hours long it still feels rushed, as if they need to fit in as much as possible. In this sense, it is very like other "second in the trilogy" films, and ends with a suitable cliff hanger to keep you salivating till next summer.
Despite the bumpy ride it ticks all the boxes for fantastic set pieces, beautiful scenery and swashbuckling action. Johnny Depp is as over the top as ever, (and brilliantly so), and Bill Nighy provides a very suitable counterpart in tentacle faced Davy Jones, complete with his crew of aquatic monstrosities.
The script contains some genuinely funny moments, and plenty of intriguing references to make you want to watch the original again. All in all, a good way to pass an evening, but dont go expecting any dramatic changes from the original.- Was this review helpful to you?

(506)good family film with a touch of a dark side
By Daura (73 reviews) from Coventry , 01 Jan 2013The first outing for the priates of the caribean saga. Johnny Depp brings his uncanny eccentricity to the lead role, and the adventures begin accross teh seas and a somewhat eerie and dark undertone. Thers a love story, search for treasure and lots of perile! what more could you need for this family classic - oh yes lots of comedy moments!- Was this review helpful to you?

Pirates 2&3 are one plot!!
By geezee (1 review) , 08 Jul 2012If you only watch this film you will have more questions than answers! It's a very long film but probably better to rent both and set asside half a day in one go :)
Apart from that the acting is as good, the effects as fun and the surprises as big as those in number 1!

Wonderful, wonderful film
By a customer , 10 May 2012Cracking film - wonderful special effects (especially of The Flying Dutchman and her crew), good storyline, great rapport between the actors, some goodies and baddies, some amusement - all in all wonderful viewing, not just for the family, but every individual therein.
To my mind superior to the first film in the series- Was this review helpful to you?

Sparrow a joke. Davy Jones a triumph
By Me12 (5 reviews) , 09 Mar 2012Since I watched the first then third Pirates film then finally came to this I'm going to give it a decent 2. 5 rating.
But, this is nowhere near as good as the first and third films (I haven't seen the fourth but not interested without Kiera Knightly!)
From where the first was a little darker and Jack Sparrow a more menacing character in this one he looks a little like a joke. Got really bored and couldn't wait for to finish.
Davy Jones (Bill Nighy) was immense though. As always.- Was this review helpful to you?

a good film, just way too long
By bizmandan (54 reviews) , 12 Nov 2011This second instalment of the Pirates franchise is a lot darker and isn't quite as child-friendly and silly as the loriginal . Pirates Of The Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest delivers everything you'd want from it and more, it delivers more than you'd want from any movie! It's a funny, epic, and an exciting sequel; the only problem is that it doesn't really need to be two and a half hours long.
You'll only notice the length occasionally; however, as most of the film will have you reasonably entertained, you will be happily taking in rollicking pirate myths, truly believable (and much improved from the last film) special effects, and thoroughly fleshed-out characters. The sheer number of stories, characters and locations presented is one thing that might leave you scratching your head and saying, 'I thought this movie was based on a theme park ride?'
Female lead Keira Knightley is given the much-needed chance to express real sexual chemistry in this film, both with Orlando Bloom and Johnny Depp .
A subplot with returning character Commodore Norrington (Jack Davenport ) is a cool idea but was badly executed; with simple changes, this character could have been employed as the root of the film's entire overarching plot. Instead, a somewhat contrived powdered-wig corporate villain is thrown in to do the job, I really didnt see the need for him to be in the film at all!
This bad guy is not the only new bad guy thrown into the mix, we have the other bad guy, fish-man Davy Jones (the delightful Bill Nighy ), who sends a monster bad guy (a mythological beast called the Kraken, which Im sure is from Clash Of The Titans ) after the Black Pearl.
If you think all these bad guys sound like a bad idea, you might be surprised to find that it works quite well, unlike some Batman movies I could mention.
If you're a die-hard lover of the adventure genre and the ever brilliant character actor that is Johnny Depp and you relish grandiose action sequences (such as a three-man sword fight on, within, and around a giant water-wheel sent rolling uncontrollably through a jungle), you will more than likely love this film. If you have little patience for long films, I dont think you will enjoy this as we dont even get a conclusion by the end in an obvious attempt to make as much money as possible from the franchise with a cash cow sequel.- Was this review helpful to you?

The sense of structure: writing from the reader's perspectiveEmphasizing reader expectations, this composition text provides an insightful guide to writing clearly and effectively. Reflecting on the author's decades of experience as an international writing consultant, writer, and instructor, The Sense of Structure teaches writing from the perspective of readers. This text demonstrates that readers have relatively fixed expectations of where certain words or grammatical constructions will appear in a unit of discourse. By bringing these intuitive reading processes to conscious thought, this text provides students with tools for understanding how readers interact with the structure of writing, from punctuation marks to sentences to paragraphs, and how meaning and purpose are communicated through structure. |

Read onto find out more about that and which lenses perform best when paired with the camera. |
Following the recommendations for Nikon D7100, we've had the opportunity to assess another of the firm's 24-Mpix DX format cameras – the mid-range D5200 - with over 120 Nikkor and third-party prime and zoom models to assess image quality. Read onto find out which of these lenses perform best when paired with the camera. |
This is the second part of our lens recommendations for the Nikon D7100 where we've analyzed nearly 60 Nikkor and third-party standard and portrait prime and zoom models to assess their optical quality. Read onto find out which of these lenses are the best performers when paired with Nikon's ultra-high resolution 24-Mpix APS-C format semi-pro model. |
This is part one of our lens recommendations for the Nikon D7100 where we've tested over 120 Nikkor and third-party prime and zoom models to assess image quality. Read onto find out which of these lenses are perform best when paired with Nikon's 24M-Pix APS-C format semi-pro model. |
Nikon has had a 200mm f/2 in its range since 1977 and has been regularly updated over the years to maintain its position as one of the highest performing lenses in the maker's range. Read on to see if how well this highly regarded lens performs in our stringent lab tests. |
Following on from our series of selecting the best lenses for the Nikon D800 with its potential for massively detailed images from the 36Mpix sensor, we've now turned our attention to that camera's younger sibling, the 24Mpix D600. |
It seems that every passing month brings a new compact camera to the market, featuring a large sensor and the promise of higher image quality than its peers. However, while the sensor is often the star of the show, the lens is just as important and can make or break the performance of the camera. The Nikon Coolpix A is one of this new breed of large sensor compact cameras, and just a few years ago it would have seemed a most unlikely proposition. However, as technology has improved, costs have come down and it is now possible to fit large sensors in small cameras at a reasonable cost, but this does mean the lenses have to improve in tandem or they risk damaging the great work done by the sensor engineers. |
Announced in 2012, the Nikon D800 is the current undisputed king of DxOMark, with results that eclipse every other camera from all other manufacturers. However, with so much resolution on tap, the question is, which lenses should you use to make the best of what you've got? The DxOMark labs have tested 61 different lenses on the D800 to bring you an unparalleled resource of which lenses are best and which should be avoided. To make it easy to follow, we have broken the reviews down into sections so you can concentrate on the lenses that are important to you. This first section will give you an overview of the D800. We will follow this with a review of the standard focal length lenses, then the telephoto lenses and super-zooms and finally there will be a wide-angle review. |
Launched in January 2012 the Nikon AF-S 85mm f/1.8G prime lens offers a great focal length for portraiture and a wide maximum aperture for low-light photography. Compatible with both Nikon FX and DX lens mounts this latest version of Nikon's popular short telephoto prime also features a built in autofocus motor making it full functionality on all Nikon DSLR cameras. At $500 it boasts a great price too, so if you're after a 85mm portrait lens this could be the one for you. |

Nikon 85mm f/1,8G halo / axial cromatic aberration

This a comment for this page on the website

The Nikon 85mm f/1,8G is a good lens for portraits. However, the halo (or axial croma) is really strong, creating magenta fringe in high contrast area. I get also the green fringe in artificial light in contrast bokeh-area, and this can't be corrected easily with CS6 or NX2. Therefor I don't like to use it outdoors. I don't see you mentioning anything about this feature in your review. Strange (unless there is something wrong with the particular lens that I have), since this is more difficult problem than vignetting. AF is also rather slow, not for capturing fast-moving children. I noticed this weaknes in the shop, therefor had no unpleasent surprises after unboxing it home. Reply |

Attempts by CNN to contact Joan Hemingway were unsuccessful. An April article in the Twin Falls, Idaho, Times-News said her artwork was being featured in a business in Ketchum, the town adjacent to Sun Valley. Business owner Nicola Potts told the newspaper that Joan Hemingway, 61, leads a "very happy, very private life."
Mariel, too, said she has had depression and suicidal thoughts, and recalls suffering insecurity and being fearful and depressed growing up. When she overcame that, "I was like, 'I've spent all my life being that way,' " she said.
To move past these feelings, Hemingway says she has "done everything" -- psychotherapy, gurus, holistic doctors -- and each of the methods she has tried have given her something of value. On her blog, for instance, she recommends that everyone take a few minutes of silence in the morning and before sleeping to be still and silent, which helps her to be more calm and focused.
Practices such as these, in addition to exercise, spending time in nature, and eating right, have all helped her achieve peace, she said. It's only within the last four years that she feels she has completely overcome depression.
"It's amazing to me that I'm not sad anymore, and that I don't worry and that I don't fear," she said.
These days, Hemingway and her boyfriend Bobby Williams have a lifestyle company called TheWillingWay ("He has the 'will,' I have the 'way,' " Hemingway said). Health and wellness are her passion.
She also advocates for suicide and mental illness awareness. She is open and communicative with her two daughters about their own mental health, too.
"I think people need to talk about it a lot," she said of mental illness, "Making it OK that it's in your family." She added, "It doesn't shame anyone, and it doesn't make anybody's family an ugly, bad family."
That is a challenge to which this Sundance film also rises.

How often do you go to the library?
August 27, 2008
Chris Lopez ( in Shawnee) says...
"I almost never go there at all - only with my wife, Kim. She checks out, I'd say, at least three books a week. The kids go with her, and she teaches them how to find things."
Jill Morizzo ( in Shawnee) says...
"I'm there at least once a week. I don't stick around and browse much, though. I use their online system to put holds on books."
Regan Nachbar ( in Shawnee) says...
"Not very often, because I don't like reading."

Reviews for Shrimp Gumbo(23)
Sort By :
This recipe was pretty good. I've tried cooking it a few times, each time making minor adjustments or additions to try and make it better suited to my family's tastes, but every time I make it it always feels like something is missing. It's not bad, but we won't be making it again.
I had been looking for a good Gumbo recipe for a long time. when I was given this one. after making this the first time all the Gumbo in my recipe draw was thrown away. the next day made copies and passed out to my co-workers. The one's who have made this swear the family was licking the bowl & begging for more. This is one yummy dish.
Simple to prepare and delicious
I forgot to add that I did add bay leaf and a few drops of hot sauce. I also added no gumbo file and it was perfect for us.
Such a great dish for any time! My husband and I love it and it is so easy to make. Even better the next day. This is a must for anyone who loves shrimp.

England coach Steve McNamara is predicting the "biggest season in living memory" as Super League XVIII sets the scene for the 2013 World Cup.
The 14-nation World Cup starts just two weeks after the Grand Final takes place at Old Trafford on Saturday 5 October, by which time McNamara says every player will have had the opportunity to stake their claim for selection.
Speaking at the official launch of the 2013 Super League season at Manchester's Etihad Stadium today, McNamara says the incentive of securing World Cup spots can help send playing standards soaring.
"The next 10 months are going to be fantastic as we embark on what I believe is the biggest Super League season in living memory," he said.
"Every English player who has ambitions of playing in the Rugby League World Cup now has the chance to prove himself in what will be the most intense Super League competition we have seen.
"It is a new campaign where every game will matter. Established players that have been part of the England group since it was created three years ago will want to continue to set the standards and the young talent coming through can also push to be in the squad that will bid to make history this autumn.
"It's an open selection policy: we are committed to selecting the best players and I hope to see every player produce his best throughout every round of Super League and all the way to the 2013 Grand Final."
Wigan Warriors and England full-back Sam Tomkins admits the World Cup will provide extra motivation for players on the fringes of selection.
"It's an incentive for players to play well," he said. "For those on the edge of the international game, it's time for them to step up.
"There is no better time than a World Cup in your own country. It's a massive incentive.
"If you miss this one, you've got to wait four years for another one in another country."
McNamara, who will outline his plans to his elite training squad members at a get-together on Wednesday, intends to take them back to South Africa after the Grand Final to finalise his World Cup preparations with another high-altitude training camp.
"The camp last October was a big success for us," said McNamara, whose side romped to big wins over France and Wales.
"The impact it had on training and conditioning was invaluable."
McNamara, who is due to announce a revised squad on March 4, will also have access to his players throughout the season with a series of camps at Loughborough University.

Why Choose Nazareth for Asian Studies?
The growing influence of Asian culture, economics, and politics across our globe is transforming social, political, and cultural institutions everywhere. Nazareth's Asian studies program is designed to prepare majors and minors to meet the requirements of emerging global realities.
Majors and minors in Asian studies benefit from course offerings across campus departments, from targeted language training, and from international experience. Students choose between one of two tracks: East Asia (primarily China and Japan) and South Asia (primarily India and Pakistan).
Students hone competencies suitable for employment or graduate study in a range of fields targeted to accommodate Asia's growing international prominence. Fields of employment and further study suitable for Asian program graduates include public and international affairs, international law, the social sciences, and the humanities. Companies with foreign operations increasingly demand graduates who are aware of the international dimensions of business, are knowledgeable about the histories and current dimensions of globalization, and are able to communicate in the languages commonly spoken in different parts of the world. Course requirements for Nazareth Asian studies majors enable students to include minors or a second major in complementary fields of interest.
- Course offerings in twelve academic disciplines across Nazareth campus promote broad exposure to Asia's cultural, political, and economic histories and to the ways Asian regions impact and are impacted by current global affairs.
- Asian program students supplement coursework and enhance language skills with international learning experiences, typically through study-abroad programs, cooperative education, or internships in foreign countries.
- Rochester, NY location provides opportunities to interact with local Asian communities and local Asian professionals to foster cultural connections and international business and internship contacts
- Nazareth College's established programs and centers such as Forced Migration Studies, Refugee Student Alliance, Center for Service Learning, and Center for Civic Engagement enhance opportunities for student outreach to local Asian populations.
- Asian studies' two-track program allows majors to choose East Asia or South Asia as their region of focus.
- Course requirements for Asian studies majors easily offer room for complementary minors or a second major in student's area of disciplinary interest.
- Students enjoy small class size and personal attention of faculty supported by small liberal arts college environment.

Short Lace and Jersey Dress with Draping Detail Style T2731208M1
I needed a dress for the Army ball and I had the hardest time finding a dress. When I saw this on the David's Bridal website I fell in love! I'll admit, I was a David's Bride so I'm biased on their dresses, but this dress is amazing. It was a perfect fit, it hit past my knee (perfect for a black tie event) and all the other Army wives loved the lace detail on top. I will definitely wear it again at another black tie event or cocktail hour. Thank you David's Bridal!

These Karabiners are the perfect size for hooking onto your backpack or daypack. They feel very sturdy and are a good quality. I've used them to attach a number of items to the outside of my daypack and have one permanently attached to my keys so I can attach my house and door keys to the inside of my daypack when I'm walking to avoid losing them.

These are not climbing karabiners but are excellent for attaching to our teddy harnesses to clip onto the rope for our Church Teddy Bear Zip Wire Ride fundraiser. Great price and do this job brilliantly!

This item was bought because it will be used with our rucksacks to carry items around the rucksack safely and also has a variety of other functional uses.

Adequate for what I need - just attaching water bottles/binoculars to other equipment. Reasonable price, would have liked a green one.

We need to attach things like water bottles to a wheelchair and wheelchair bike so needed Karabiner's that are quite large to do that

Great for attaching it to your straps of your rucksack or trousers so you can hang items (bags, shoes, ...) and keep your hands free

Very useful. Clips to 'D' Ring on gilet front that allows me to slip my walking stick into when using a camera.
