Online communities and websites Qatarliving.com, iloveqatar.net and Qatarvsitor.com have joined forces with the Qatar Living Volunteer Group (QLVG) to launch their “Cool Campaign” next weekend, which will see volunteers distribute drinks, t-shirts and caps to labourers suffering in the summer heat.

Group members are hoping to get many more volunteers involved in this year’s campaign, and have asked anyone interested to join them tomorrow to kick off the programme.

Sponsors including Sigma paints have provided a number of items to the group, such as 300 t-shirts and caps to protect workers from the sun.

And members have also managed to collect over 2,500 bottles of water, as well as fruit juices and other items.

'Potentially harmful ingredients not listed on label'

Abu Dhabi: The Ministry of Environment and Water (MOEW) has banned the sale of weight loss products, Leptin Green Coffee 800 and Leptin Slimming Bag Green Tea, after laboratory tests revealed potentially harmful medical ingredients that were not declared on the label, officials said.

Obaid Juma Al Matroushi, MOEW Acting Director-General, issued a decision on Sunday, banning the products from being brought into the UAE and from being sold on the market.

Minsan tayong mga pinoy naooverdramatized kung papano gagawin at maghanda ng kahit napakasimpleng lutuin at lalo pang pinapahirap ang pagluluto kahit hindi naman. Mas lalo pa tayong walang ganang gumawa lalo pat sa mga mamahaling restoran lamang ito matitikman kasi cguro sa isip natin mahal, wlang sangkap at well-seasoned chef lamang ang nakakagawa.

Pero dahil espesyal na araw ang katorse, kagabi sinubukan kong gumawa at heto... try try lang...

... today is the day,
... to embark on the new begginning,

... and on this maiden voyage,
... i shall feed the soul with inspiration,

... so as to sustain the endless flight,
... amidsts the journey that seeks higher,

... bound to rediscovering the lost path,
... of that long sought yet highly ellusive,

... one that has been found long time ago,
... yet foolishly taken for granted,

... oh benevolent one that is,

... "A Life of Everlasting PEACE"...

There are many things you can do to help stay safe and healthy that don't take much time or effort. Take a few minutes each day to protect yourself and your family.

Being healthy and safe takes commitment, but it doesn't have to be time-consuming, painful, or boring. Most things are so simple and take so little time, that you'll wonder why you've been avoiding them. You can get big rewards just by taking small steps to prevent illness and injury.

You won't necessarily "see" the rewards, such as the extra pounds you don't gain, the high blood pressure you won't get, or the emergency room visit you'll avoid. That's a good thing!
