plan to conduct clinical trials of the vaccine in humans, according to advance in the journal <em>Nature Medicine.</em><br /></p></span><br /><br /><p align="justify"><span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:10;color:#333333;">If successful, will be the first vaccine to prevent the disease in many countries is the leading cause of cancer death among women.<br /></p></span><br /><p align="justify"><span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:10;color:#333333;"></p><p align="justify"><span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:10;color:#333333;"></p><br /><p align="justify"><span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:11;color:#333333;"><strong>Unique challenge<br /></p></strong></span><br /><p align="justify"><span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:10;color:#333333;">The vaccine is composed of an antigen-a substance that causes the formation of antibodies, called <em>a-lactalbumin.</em><br /></p></span><br /><br /><p align="justify"><span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:10;color:#333333;">In the study, carried out in mice genetically engineered to be prone to cancer, half were vaccinated with the antigen and the other half with a vaccine that did not contain the compound.<br /></p></span><br /><p align="justify"><span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:10;color:#333333;">None of the mice injected with developing the disease antigen, but all the rest it was developed, say the authors.<br /></p></span><br /><p align="justify"><span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:10;color:#333333;">If it works in humans the same way as it worked in mice will be monumental.Might be able to eliminate breast cancer<br /></p></span><br /><p align="justify"><span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:8;color:#666666;">Prof. VIncent Tuohy Prof. Vincent Tuohy<br /></p></span><br /><p align="justify"><span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:10;color:#333333;">So far, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA, for its acronym in English) approved cancer preventive vaccines, one against cervical and other against the liver.<br /></p></span><br /><p align="justify"><span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:10;color:#333333;">However, these immunizations virus attack: the human papillomavirus (HPV) in cervical cancer and hepatitis B (HBV) in liver cancer.<br /></p></span><br /><p align="justify"><span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:10;color:#333333;">The new vaccine, however, strikes the formation of the disease.<br /></p></span><br /><p align="justify"><span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:10;color:#333333;">The viruses are recognized by the immune system as foreign invaders, but not so with cancer, which is the uncontrolled growth of the cells themselves.<br /></p></span><br /><p align="justify"><span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:10;color:#333333;">So a vaccine to attack the overgrowth of cells, is really attacking the patient's body itself, destroying also their healthy tissue.<br /></p></span><br /><p align="justify"><span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:10;color:#333333;">La The key to the new immunization, Professor Tuohy explains, is "finding a target within the tumor is typically not in a healthy person."<br /></p></span><br /><p align="justify"><span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:10;color:#333333;">In the case of breast cancer, scientists detected the antigen <em>a-lactalbumin,</em> a protein found in most breast tumors but not in healthy women, except when they nurse.<br /></p></span><br /><p align="justify"><span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:11;color:#333333;"><strong>No damage to healthy tissue<br /></p></strong></span><br /><p align="justify"><span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:10;color:#333333;">In this way, scientists say, the vaccine can prepare a woman's immune system to attack the <em>a-lactalbumin,</em> avoiding the formation of the tumor without harming healthy tissue breast.<br /></p></span><p align="justify"><span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:8;color:#666666;">The vaccine antigen was able to prevent the development of tumors in mice.<br /></span><span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:10;color:#333333;"></span></p><p align="justify"><span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:10;color:#333333;">Scientists plan to vaccinate women older than 40 years, the age at which begins to increase the risk of the disease and decrease the chance of pregnancy.<br /></span><span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:10;color:#333333;">And it could be offered to younger women with increased risk of developing the condition.<br /></span></p><p align="justify"><span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:10;color:#333333;">Although experts say it will have to wait some years before the vaccine becomes available in the clinic, progress, they say, could have major implications for the prevention of breast cancer.<br /></p></span><br /><p align="justify"><span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:10;color:#333333;">" "This study is in its early stages and hope to see the results of large clinical trials to see if this vaccine is safe and effective in humans," says Dr. Palframa Caitlin, the British charity <em>Breakthrough Breast Cancer.</em><br /></p></span><br /><p align="justify"><span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:10;color:#333333;"></p><p align="justify"><span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:10;color:#333333;">According to the World Health Organization, nearly 1.3 million women are diagnosed with breast cancer each year worldwide and about 500,000 die from the condition.<br /></p></span><br /><br /><p align="justify"><span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:10;color:#333333;">Although disease rates have declined gradually since the mid-90s in developed countries, thanks to early detection and improved treatments, in nations with low and middle income the number of cases continues to rise.<br /></p></span></span><br /><br /><div align="justify"><br />Via:<a

That’s life.”<br /><br />Beirut was known as the Paris of the Orient before the gruesome 1975-1990 civil war. Recent upheaval includes a 34-day war with Israel in 2006, a militant Islamist revolt and political killings.<br /><br /><span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="color:#cc33cc;"><strong>One Bride, Twelve Dresses</strong></span><br /></span><br />“When the situation in Beirut is not normal, when stuff happens, it’s not easy to work or even get to work,” Chakra said with an understatement characteristic of Lebanese couturiers.<br /><br /><span style="font-size:180%;">Chakra’s dresses cost $20,000-$50,000. A Middle Eastern bride, he said, may easily order a dozen: one for the wedding, the others for the 11 nightly parties that follow. And that’s not counting the dresses for her mother, sisters and cousins.<br /></span><br />Most Arab countries are expected to record an average 3.6 percent economic growth this year as the price of crude oil rebounds, according to a United Nations report.<br /><br />That kind of market is a dream for couturiers. However, exploiting it takes more than a show in Paris and a boutique in Beirut.<br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">For a start, there is the question of style. French haute couture prides itself on being innovative, avant garde. But this does not necessarily translate into the kind of fairytale gown a Saudi princess wants to wear.<br /></span><br />“<span style="font-size:180%;">Lebanese fashion is a lot more feminine. If you look at French designers, they stage a big show but it’s not wearable,”</span> Marianne Helou, a Frenchwoman married to a Lebanese lawmaker, told Reuters backstage at Chakra’s show.<br /><br />“And in Lebanon, we dress up. That’s over in Paris, it doesn’t exist anymore, people don’t dress.”<br /><br />Women like Helou, who was wearing a glossy fur coat, her blonde hair perfectly coiffed, filled the front rows at Chakra, Elie Saab, and Zuhair Murad this week.<br /><br />They applauded the swishing organza and heavily embroidered silk, then contemplated how it would suit their own wardrobes -Helou, for example, may ask Chakra to close some revealing slits in a dress to adapt it to Beiruti tastes.<br /><br />Forced Abroad, Returning in Truimph<br /><br />European aristocrats have had a similar relationship with Parisian brands. But even Princess Caroline of Monaco only orders so many dresses a year.<br /><br />Parisian couturiers whose business is going well, such as Stephane Rolland who had a turnover of 5 million euros in 2009, have managed cultivate a strong following in the Middle East also due to the enduring appeal of French tradition and craft.<br /><br />Many other fashion houses here are struggling. Christian Lacroix, whose baroque dresses once wowed the fashion world, was placed under creditor protection last year.<br /><br />The advantage of the Lebanese is that they are seen as somewhat of an Arab-European melange – partly because history has forced them to be.<br /><br />“Because of the war, many Lebanese studied abroad, and that makes them very open, very adventurous,” Dalia Kamel, whose husband is Egypt’s ambassador in Paris, told Reuters.<br /><br />“Among Arabs, the Lebanese are very well known for their finesse.”<br /><br />Sitting in the front row at Elie Saab, the most famous Lebanese designer, Kamel recalled the 10 years she spent in Beirut in the 1990s, when her husband was a diplomat there.<br /><br />“In the beginning I was really scared, but then over time I made a lot of Lebanese friends and I took on their lifestyle, going out, dressing up,” she said with a smile.<br /><br />Around the catwalks in Paris, that exuberant aspect of Lebanese living, spiced up with a little irony, was in full bloom.<br /><br />“The security situation is really good right now,” designer Elie Saab told Reuters among a throng of photographers, before adding with a laugh: “Let’s hope it lasts.”<br /><br />Backstage at Zuhair Murad’s show, held in the gilded halls of Paris’s coin museum, the designer air-kissed fashionistas while next to him, an assistant was helping a naked model climb into a camouflage-patterned ballgown. </div>

The Trust (al-Amana) in the Qur'an and the wilaya

Wilaya in this regard is the faculty of the<br />legal and moral authority, which enables a person in whom this<br />authority is invested to exact obedience to fulfill this moral<br />vision. Accordingly, the concept of wilaya is directly connected<br />with the fundamental question of saltana -- exercise of that<br />legal and moral authority by demanding obedience. Islamic<br />revelation regards the creation of an ethical order as an<br />inevitable projection of personal response to the moral challenge<br />of accepting Islam. Personal devotion to Allah implies the<br />responsibility of furthering the realization of a just society,<br />embodying all the manifestations of religious faith in the<br />material as well as spiritual life of humankind.<br /><br />This responsibility of striving for one's own welfare and that of<br />the society in which one lives derives from the fact that,<br />according to the Qur'an, humankind has boldly assumed 'the<br />trust' that Allah had offered 'unto the heavens and the earth and<br />the hills, but they shrank from bearing it and were afraid of it.<br />And man assumed it. Lo! he has proved a tyrant and a fool'<br />(33:72).<br /><br />Shaykh Tusi in his Al-Masa'l al-Ha'iriyat explains amana as<br />taklif (religious-moral obligation imposed by Allah on humanity)<br />and cites the Shi'i opinion as the one in which amana is equated<br />with wilaya. However, he argues that such an equation of amana<br />with wilaya is unnecessary, because the general sense derived<br />from Iaklif also includes acknowledgement of the person in<br />whom wilaya is invested. In his Qur'anic exegesis, Shaykh Tusi<br />explains amana as the contract (aI-'aqd) that humankind must<br />fulfill because it has been entrusted to humankind by Allah. He<br />cites several early authorities to show the complication in<br />interpreting the amana verse which has theological implications<br />in the realm of human volition and responsibility as the<br />recipient of this 'trust.' However, as Tusi explains it is in the<br />early traditions dealing with the wilaya that the amana verse has<br />been interpreted as pointing to the wilaya of Imam Ali ibn Abi<br />Talib.<br /><br />Allama Tabataba'i's detailed exegesis on this verse should be<br />regarded as the recapitulation of all these early materials,<br />including those written by the Sunni scholars, and his interpretation<br />is derived in light of the early traditions regarding the<br />wilaya. According to him, the 'trust' is al-wilayat al-ilahiyya,<br />meaning the divine sovereignty which Allah offered to all<br />creatures. Only human beings, having assumed the trust, have<br />the potential to attain perfection and perfect their environment.<br />The crux of the problem in the exegesis of the verse is that if<br />man was the only creature of Allah who accepted the 'trust,'<br />why should he be described as a 'tyrant' and fool'? At this<br />point, Allama Tabataba'i's interpretation draws upon the main<br />tenets of Imami theology, which regard the 'trust' in the sense of<br />wilaya as a special favour to humanity entailing enormous<br />responsibility to stand by the obligation of guarding it. </div><div align="left"></div><div align="left">Accordingly, only human beings are not afraid to bear the burden of<br />this trust, and to accept the consequences of being a 'tyrant' and<br />'ignorant,' because they only can acquire the opposite attributes<br />- namely, those of being 'just' ('adil) and 'knowledgeable'<br />('alim). In fact, both 'tyranny' and 'ignorance' are the primary<br />counterpoise of human responsibility in accepting al-wilaya al-ilahiyya,<br />especially as it concerns Allah's providential purpose in<br />allowing imperfect humanity to accept this responsibility. </div><div align="left"></div><div align="left">The acceptance of this wilaya, furthermore, makes human beings<br />acquire both the responsibility for their actions as well as<br />superiority over all other creatures in the world. It is al-wilayat<br />al-ilahiyya that enables them to put society into order in<br />accordance with their unique comprehension of religion.<br /><br />However, the wilaya is given to humankind with a clear warning<br />that it will have to rise above 'tyranny' and 'ignorance' by<br />heeding the call of divine guidance. Human beings, according to<br />the Qur'an, have been endowed with the cognition needed to<br />further their comprehension of the purpose for which they are<br />created, and violition to realize it by using their knowledge. It is<br />through divine guidance that human beings are expected to<br />develop the ability to judge their actions and choose what will<br />lead them to prosperity. But this is not an easy task. It involves<br />spiritual and moral development, something that is most<br />challenging in the face of basic human weaknesses indicated by<br />the Qur'an in the following passage:<br /><br />'Surely man was created fretful, When evil visits him, impatient,<br />When good visits him, grudging' (70: 19-2O).<br /><br />This weakness reveals a basic tension that must be resolved if<br />human beings are to attain the purpose for which they are<br />created. It is at this point that divine guidance is sent through<br />the prophets and revealed messages to provide either the sources<br />and principles or basic norms of social organization under<br />which a divinely sanctioned public order is to be established.<br />The Prophet thus becomes a representative of the divine<br />authority on earth and exercises that authority in conformity<br />with the divine plan for human conduct. <a href="http://www.alseraj.net/maktaba/kotob/english/FourteenInfallibles/Ghadir/english/prophet_and_ahl_al-bayt/imam01_ali/ghadir/61-72.htm">(read more... )<br /></div></a>

But now, women everywhere can breathe a sigh of relief thanks to an innovative new light-based hair removal system from Philips. This miracle treatment not only removes hair but, with regular use, significantly reduces hair growth until it disappears completely.<br /><br />The name of this painless, hassle-free device is Philips Lumea. Retailing at £399 at Boots, Argos and Amazon, Philips Lumea can be used in all the major hair re-growth areas below the neck line, and is ideal for use on underarms, bikini line and legs.<br /><br />The portable, hand-held device works gently against your skin, applying a pulse of light to any unwanted body hair. The light is absorbed by the melanin at the hair root and sends follicles into an inhibited state. When used regularly every 2-4 weeks, this stops the hair from growing back.<br /><br />Philips Lumea’s advanced technology (called Intense Pulsed Light - IPL) has been researched and tested by leading dermatologists over a seven-year period. Experts have found that Philips Lumea is safe for most skin and hair types and is an innovative breakthrough in hair removal systems.<br /><br /><br />Philips Lumea put to the test<br /><br />Beauty blogger Jane Cunningham is in the initial stages of trialling Philips Lumea. Jane reviews the latest pioneering beauty products, including hair removal devices, for her blog site, www.britishbeautyblogger.com. As her testimony below shows, Philips Lumea passed her tests with flying colours.<br /><br /><br />First impressions: Looks a bit like a small hair dryer. Light to hold, which is important when doing armpits.<br /><br /><br />Ease of use: Philips Lumea is easy to use because you can work it along in a sequence, making sure you get all the hairs. The oblong window is extremely helpful - especially on legs.<br /><br /><br />Speed: When I did my underarms, the whole process was done in less than ten minutes, and that's not long!<br /><br /><br />Pain factor: A little ping when the heat hits the skin but nothing to worry about at all - in fact the anticipation is worse than the ping.<br /><br /><br />Suitability: It suited my skin tone – olive skin with brown hair – very well.<br /><br /><br />Portability: It’s so lightweight and compact that you can take it with you anywhere, so you never need to miss a session.<br /><br /><br />Final verdict: Hair removal is so unglamorous, but it’s something that all women have to do. Using a very high-tech method that rewards with effectiveness seems a positive step. It's so quick, virtually painless, and so easy to use that it has to be the future of hair removal.<br /><br /><br />For more information about Philips Lumea visit www.philips.co.uk/lumea.</div>

In scorching wind and scalding water, and shadow of black smoke. Neither cool nor refreshing. For they were, before that, indulged in sinful luxury." [Al-Waqi'a: 41-45]<br /><br />i.e. they were arrogant, who do what they wish.<br /><br />Allah سبحانه وتعالى also said:<br /><br />حَتَّى إِذَا أَخَذْنَا مُتْرَفِيهِم بِالْعَذَابِ إِذَا هُمْ يَجْأَرُونَ<br />"Till when We grasp the (town's) luxurious ones with punishment, behold! They started to supplicate." [Al-Mu'minun: 64]<br /><br />The luxurious ones here means the arrogant tyrants.<br /><br />Allah سبحانه وتعالى said also:<br /><br />وَمَا أَرْسَلْنَا فِي قَرْيَةٍ مِّن نَّذِيرٍ إِلَّا قَالَ مُتْرَفُوهَا إِنَّا بِمَا أُرْسِلْتُم بِهِ كَافِرُونَ<br />"And We sent not unto any township a warner, but its luxurious ones declared: Lo! We are disbelievers in that which you bring to us." [Saba'a: 34]<br /><br />The luxurious ones are those who are haughty (arrogant) towards the believers because of their high level of wealth and children.<br /><br />Allah سبحانه وتعالى said:<br /><br />وَاتَّبَعَ الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُواْ مَا أُتْرِفُواْ فِيهِ<br /><br />"The wrongdoers followed that by which they were made surrounded with luxury." [Hud: 116]<br /><br />What is meant by those who were surrounded with luxury is that they turned towards their whims i.e. followed their whims.<br /><br />Allah سبحانه وتعالى said:<br /><br />وَإِذَا أَرَدْنَا أَن نُّهْلِكَ قَرْيَةً أَمَرْنَا مُتْرَفِيهَا فَفَسَقُواْ فِيهَا<br />"And when We would destroy a township We send commandment to its tyrant folk (luxurious ones) and afterward, they commit abomination therein." [Al-Isra: 16]<br /><br />What is meant by tyrant folk is their tyrants who live at ease.<br /><br />Allah سبحانه وتعالى said:<br /><br />وَأَتْرَفْنَاهُمْ فِي الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا<br />"We made them luxurious in the worldly life" [Al-Mu'minun: 33]<br /><br />that is We made them insist on their tyranny out of their arrogance i.e. We made them arrogant.<br /><br />Luxury (Taraf) linguistically means vanity and arrogance due to living a life of ease and comfort. When we say wealth made somebody luxurious, we mean it made him arrogant and corrupted him. That the person became luxurious means that he insisted on tyranny. He also transgressed and became haughty.<br /><br />Therefore the luxury (Taraf) which the Qur'an condemned, and Allah سبحانه وتعالى prohibited and considered a sin is the Taraf that linguistically means haughtiness and arrogance due to ease of living, but not the ease of living itself. Therefore it is wrong to interpret Taraf as enjoying the wealth and ease of living by that which Allah سبحانه وتعالى provided, because ease of living and enjoying the provision of Allah are not condemned by Shari'ah.<br /><br />Allah سبحانه وتعالى said:<br /><br />قُلْ مَنْ حَرَّمَ زِينَةَ اللّهِ الَّتِيَ أَخْرَجَ لِعِبَادِهِ وَالْطَّيِّبَاتِ مِنَ الرِّزْقِ<br />"Say: Who has forbidden the adornment of Allah which He has brought for His servants and the good things of His provision?" [Al-A'raf: 32]<br /><br />At-Tirmidhi narrated from Abdullah ibn Amr who said:<br /><br />‘The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "Allah likes to see the signs of His favour (bounties) on His servant,'"<br /><br />i.e. He loves for His servants to enjoy His favour and enjoy the good things He has provided for him.<br /><br />But Allah سبحانه وتعالى hates the haughtiness, arrogance and transgression that may result from a life of ease. So Allah سبحانه وتعالى hates the life of ease if it produced haughtiness, transgression, arrogance and tyranny. Since a life of ease and comfort by the abundant wealth could lead some people to arrogance, tyranny and haughtiness; that is it creates Taraf in them, Islam prohibited that type of luxury. So Islam prevented corruption if it resulted from the abundance of wealth and children, making people arrogant and tyrannical. Islam prohibited that strongly.<br /><br />So when it is said that Taraf is Haram it does not mean the life of ease is Haram, it rather means that arrogance which results from the easy use of wealth is Haram, as Taraf would mean linguistically, and as luxury (Taraf) would mean from the verses of the Qur'an.<br /><br /><br /><br />The above is an excerpt from the book "Economic System in Islam" by Hizb ut-Tahrir.
