Homegrown Maine Business Helps Overseas Need
Faced with the challenge of raising funds to support ongoing relief efforts for a still earthquake ravaged Pakistan, Newcastle resident Tasneem Hayat-Zaidi adopted the classic American approach: she launched her own company.
Founded in October 2007, Zaidi's brainchild called Traditions specializes in importing fine stoles, scarves, wraps, bedspreads and table runners handcrafted by artisans in her native Pakistan.
The effort directly supports the Pakistani artists by supplying them with a means of income, and the proceeds from the sale of the products here in Maine will be used to help defray expenses related to the long term relief effort for Pakistan.
Although it has been more than two years since a massive earthquake devastated the Kashmir region of Pakistan, the need for relief continues, Zaidi said.
Can You Dig It? Five Things To Know About The Shaq Deal
Said Kerr: "[O'Neal's] presence is magnetic and that is a big part of it." 2. Mike D'Antoni was the first Suns voter to push for the deal and Kerr was actually the last one to sign off. This will be recorded as Kerr's first major move since assuming control of the Suns' front office and maybe the biggest trade he'll ever make. He knows he's "on the line" with how it turns out. "If it works, I'm a genius," Kerr said. "If it doesn't, I'm a moron, I guess." Maybe that's why Kerr was the hardest to convince. It was easy to assume that this deal was somewhat forced on D'Antoni; welcoming Shaq could be saying goodbye to a fair bit of the speed and abandon that has defined the Suns since D'Antoni and Nash hooked up for the 2004-05 season.
Armstrong's Live Well program joining Wellness Community
They like to call themselves "the best-kept secret in Central Jersey." But now that the Lance Armstrong Foundation has found them, that doesn't figure to last much longer. The Wellness Community of Central New Jersey has been there to support cancer patients and survivors since 2004, when the concept first emerged from Eunice Jadlocki's living room to temporary quarters at the Van Horne house in Somerville -- and then to its permanent location at 3 Crossroads Drive in Bedminster in 2005. Since 2004, more than 600 participants have taken advantage of the community's support groups and individualized programs. These include not only those stricken with cancer, but caregivers and family members, too. Now, the nonprofit agency, which is supported entirely by donations, has been selected for the Live Well program funded by the Lance Armstrong Foundation.
