I received emails yesterday which I'm regulating my blog to pass along.

The initial came from a business associate whose hermit is in need of a bone marrow transplant. Here's what she says about it:

We urgently need to increase a size of a bone marrow registries. To be a donor, we need to be between a ages of 18 as well as 60 (and not have had chemotherapy).

If we cant be a donor yourself, please urge others to register; we need big numbers to have an discernible difference. Though a odds have been long to assistance my hermit now, we could potentially save someones hold up right away or in a future.

Two ways to do so: 1. The most appropriate (fastest) is to get tested in person. It only involves an verbal swab as well as some paperwork, not even blood. If we live in a NY area, see attached for area donor drives in Manhattan, upon Long Island as well as in Westchester. All have been at no cost. And if we go a Gift of Life web site (see below) we can find list of drives elsewhere around a country.

2. Arrange to get tested upon line, by asking for a pack to be mailed to you. Do so by Gift of Life, a U.S. formed Jewish registry, wholl take everyonebut my hermit is some-more expected to find a match with someone whos Jewish. If we have use of this method, please hurryto concede time for mailing as well as for analyzing your sample. To register with them, go to: giftoflife.org, click upon Register NOW as a Donor as well as have use of a formula SAVEALAN when prompted. Instructions for pciking up a sample as well as mailing it back will be included with a kit. They will hit we right away or in a destiny if we have been a match for my hermit -- or a single of a many people needing transplants whose lives we could potentially save.

The second email has to do with an online well read magazine for yuong adult readers which is looking for submissions:

Kerri Majors, along with Shannon Marshall as well as Colleen Oakley, have founded YARN or a Young Adult Review Network. This online formed well read magazine's goal is to tell a top peculiarity beautiful essay for immature adult readers, ages 14-18, as well as those in other age groups who suffer immature adult lit.

Our interactive sections will concede for discussions about published work, as well as reviews of brand brand new YA books. We seek to discover brand brand new teenager writers, as well as tell them alongside established writers of a YA genre.

YARN, a brand brand new online well read magazine for Young Adult readers, is looking fiction, poetry, as well as essays for a entrance issue. Writing should be of special seductiveness to 14-18 year old readers, though can be created by writers of any age or background. Submissions by teens have been generally encouraged. YARNs goal is to tell a top peculiarity beautiful essay for everyone who enjoys immature adult lit.

On a personal note, whilst a ARCS have not yet arrived, my kingship check did (and will go in a bank before I go to Lake Placid later this morning). I'm gay to have known which Life As We Knew It has passed a 100,000 paperback sales series (and thus a kingship rate has left from 6 to 7%). My interjection to all of we who have helped have LAWKI as well as a passed as well as a left successes beyond my wildest dreams.
