Caregivers & Cancer - Who Are They and What is Their Role?
Caregivers are individuals who provide care to individuals with cancer who are going through treatment are chronically ill or disabled. Most caregivers are family members or friends. It is estimated that more than one quarter of the adult population, or more than fifty million people, have been caregivers. Men now make up 44% of the caregiving population; and family caregivers provide, for "free", an estimated $257 billion per year in services. The role of caregivers is expected to increase as the population ages; however, the number of individuals available for caregiving will diminish.
Take control of your life. You must remember to continue to live your life and not allow it to completely revolve around your loved one's illness.
Remember to take care of and be kind to yourself. The job you are performing is difficult and can be taxing. It is important for you to have personal quality time, to do what you like, for you.
Be aware of how you are feeling emotionally. Depression is common for individuals in your position. Seek professional help immediately if you are experiencing signs of depression.
Accept assistance from others when offered and make specific suggestions as to what they can do.
Get educated. The more you know about your loved one's condition, the more empowered you will feel.
Support your loved one's independence. Caring for somebody does not necessarily entail doing everything for them. New technologies and ideas provide options that help promote a healthy level of independence.
Listen to your heart. Your gut instincts most often lead you in the right direction.
Seek support from other caregivers and obtain strength and comfort in the understanding of others in similar situations. You are not alone.

There is a great deal to be gained by improving communications between family caregivers and healthcare professionals, especially physicians. Better care for the patient, less stress and illness for the caregiver, more efficient use of doctors' time, reduced costs and improved satisfaction for all concerned can be achieved when caregivers communicate effectively with physicians. To achieve effective communication, family caregivers and physicians need to gain a better understanding of each other's worlds. By trying to "walk in each other's shoes", better communication is attained.
Educate yourself about your loved one's disease.
Write questions down before appointments so you will not forget them.
Make a habit of taking notes during appointments so you can more easily remember what was discussed.
If you have lots of things to talk about, make a consultation appointment, so the doctor can allow enough time to meet with you.
As a family caregiver it is likely that you and your loved one have seen, or will see, the inside of a hospital more than the average person. When hospitalization occurs, there are things that you can do to feel more confident, ease your stress, and be a more effective advocate and respected member of the healthcare team.
This individual can help you with a range of services, including financial questions, support and discharge planning issues. Discharge planning should start as soon as you enter the hospital because it takes time to arrange home healthcare, special equipment and who will be paying for these additional expenses.
This individual is the primary doctor taking care of your loved one and will coordinate care in the hospital. The attending physician will be in communication with the other consulting physicians and often can summarize the entire treatment plan. Find out the best way to get in touch with the attending physician. At what number can the physician be reached and what times are best to call? Make sure the "face" sheet in your loved one's hospital chart contains the correct name and phone numbers. Do not hesitate to continue to ask questions until you feel comfortable with the answers.
They can answer your day-to-day questions and are an excellent source of information and support.
It is very important to start thinking about discharge planning when your loved one first enters the hospital. It is important that the discharge planner (and the nurses involved) fully understand your loved one's physical and mental capabilities, so the most appropriate help for you and your loved one can be ordered as part of the discharge plan.
Durable Power of Attorney for Healthcare, also know as a healthcare agent or proxy, is the individual appointed to make decisions about medical care if your loved one cannot. That person may well be you. A healthcare agent can be assigned as part of the advance directive form.
Advance Medical Directives inform physicians and family members what kind of medical treatment and care your loved one wishes to receive in the event of his/her inability to make those decisions. A Living Will is an example of an advance medical directive. A Living Will comes into effect during an end-of-life situation. It records the specific kind of treatment and care your loved one wants at that time.
On an airplane an oxygen mask descends in front of you. What do you do? As we all know, the first rule is to put on your own oxygen mask before you assist anyone else. Only when we first help ourselves can we effectively help others. Caring for yourself is one of the most important—and most often forgotten—things you can do as a caregiver. When your needs are taken care of, the person you care for will benefit, too.
We often hear: "My husband is the person with Alzheimer's, but now I'm the one in the hospital!" Such a situation is all too common. Researchers know a lot about the effects of caregiving on health and well-being. For example, if you are a caregiving spouse between the ages of 66 and 96 and are experiencing mental or emotional strain, your risk of dying is 63 percent higher than that of people your age who are not caregivers. The combination of loss, prolonged stress, the physical demands of caregiving, and the biological vulnerabilities that come with age place you at risk for significant health problems as well as an earlier death.
Older caregivers are not the only ones who put their health and well-being at risk. If you are a baby boomer who has assumed a caregiver role for your parents while simultaneously juggling work and raising adolescent children, you too face an increased risk of depression, chronic illness, and a possible decline in quality of life.
But despite these risks, family caregivers of any age are less likely than noncaregivers to practice preventive healthcare and self-care behavior. Regardless of age, gender, and ethnicity, caregivers report problems attending to their own health and well-being while managing caregiving responsibilities.
Family caregivers are also at increased risk for excessive use of alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs and for depression. Caregiving can be an emotional roller coaster. On the one hand, caring for your family member demonstrates love and commitment and can be a very rewarding personal experience. On the other hand, exhaustion, worry, inadequate resources, and continuous care demands are enormously stressful. Studies show that an estimated 46 to 59 percent of caregivers are clinically depressed.
You cannot stop the impact of a chronic or progressive illness or a debilitating injury on someone for whom you care. But there is a great deal that you can do to take responsibility for your personal well-being and have your own needs met.
Many times attitudes and beliefs form personal barriers that stand in the way of caring for yourself. Not taking care of yourself may be a lifelong pattern because taking care of others has always been an easier option, but as a family caregiver you must ask yourself: What good will I be to the person I care for if I become ill? If I die? Breaking old patterns and overcoming obstacles is not an easy proposition, but it can be done—regardless of your age or situation.
Do you feel you have to prove that you are worthy of the care recipient's affection?
Do you think you are being selfish if you put your own needs first?
Is it frightening to think of your own needs? What is the fear about?
Do you have trouble asking for what you need? Do you feel inadequate if you ask for help? Why?
I am responsible for my loved one's health.
If I don't do it, no one will.
If I do it right, I will get the love, attention, and respect I deserve.
possible barrier that can cause unnecessary anxiety. Instead, try positive statements: "I'm good at giving John a bath." "I can exercise for 15 minutes a day." Remember, your mind believes what you tell it.
Because we base our behavior on our thoughts and beliefs, attitudes and misconceptions like those noted above can cause caregivers to continually attempt to do what cannot be done, to control what cannot be controlled. The result is feelings of continued failure and frustration and, often, an inclination to ignore your own needs. Ask yourself what might be getting in your way and keeping you from taking care of yourself.
Once you've started to identify any personal barriers to good self-care, you can begin to change your behavior, moving forward one small step at a time. Following are some effective tools for self-care that can start you on your way.
How we perceive and respond to an event is a significant factor in how we adjust and cope with it. The stress you feel is the result of not only your caregiving situation but also your perception of it—whether you see the glass as half-full or half-empty. It is important to remember that you are not alone in your experiences.
Whether your caregiving is voluntary. If you feel you had no choice in taking on the responsibilities, the chances are greater that you will experience strain, distress, and resentment.
Your relationship with the care recipient. Sometimes people care for another with the hope of healing a relationship. If healing does not occur, you may feel regret and discouragement.
Your coping abilities. How you coped with stress in the past predicts how you will cope now. Identify your current coping strengths so that you can build on them.
Your caregiving situation. Some caregiving situations are more stressful than others. For example, caring for a person with dementia is often more stressful than caring for someone with a physical limitation.
Recognize warning signs early. These might include irritability, sleep problems, and forgetfulness. Know your own warning signs and act to make changes. Don't wait until you are overwhelmed.
Identify sources of stress. Ask yourself, What is causing stress for me? Sources of stress might be too much to do, family disagreements, feelings of inadequacy, and the inability to say no.
Take action. Taking some action to reduce stress gives us back a sense of control. Stress reducers can be simple activities like walking and other forms of exercise, gardening, meditation, or having coffee with a friend. Identify some stress reducers that work for you.
Take a break from caregiving.
Get help with caregiving tasks like bathing and preparing meals.
Goals are generally too big to work on all at once. We are more likely to reach a goal if we break it down into smaller action steps. Once you've set a goal, ask yourself, What steps do I take to reach my goal? Make an action plan by deciding which step you will take first and when; then get started!
Possible action steps: Make an appointment for a physical checkup. Take a half-hour break once during the week. Walk three times a week for 10 minutes.
Seeking solutions to difficult situations is, of course, one of the most important tools in caregiving. Once you've identified a problem, taking action to solve it can change the situation and also change your attitude to a more positive one, giving you more confidence in your abilities.
First, identify the problem. Look at the situation with an open mind. The real problem might not be what first comes to mind. For example, you may think that the problem is simply that you are tired all the time, when really the more basic difficulty is your belief that "no one can care for John like I can." The problem? Thinking that you have to do everything yourself.
Second, list possible solutions. One idea is to try a different perspective: Even though someone else provides help to John in a different way than I do, it can be just as good. Ask a friend to help. Call Family Caregiver Alliance and ask about agencies in your area that could help provide care.
Finally, select one solution from the list. Then try it! Evaluate the results. Ask yourself how well your choice worked. Try a second solution. If your first idea didn't work, select another. But don't give up on the first; sometimes an idea just needs fine-tuning. Use other resources. Ask friends, family members, and professionals for suggestions. If nothing seems to help, accept that the problem may not be solvable now. You can revisit it at another time. All too often we jump from step one to step seven and then feel defeated and stuck. Concentrate on keeping an open mind while listing and experimenting with possible solutions.
Being able to communicate constructively is one of a caregiver's most important tools. When you communicate in ways that are clear, assertive, and constructive, you will be heard and will get the help and the support you need.
Use "I" messages rather than "you" messages. Saying "I feel angry" rather than "You made me angry" enables you to express your feelings without blaming others or causing them to become defensive.
Respect the rights and the feelings of others. Do not say something that will violate another person's rights or intentionally hurt the person's feelings. Recognize that the other person has the right to express feelings.
Be clear and specific. Speak directly to the person. Don't hint or hope that the person will guess what you need. Other people are not mind readers. When you speak directly about what you need or feel, you are taking the risk that the other person might disagree or say no to your request, but that action also shows respect for the other person's opinion. When both parties speak directly, the chances of reaching understanding are greater.
When people have asked if they can be of help to you, how often have you replied, "Thank you, but I'm fine." Many caregivers don't know how to marshal the goodwill of others and are reluctant to ask for help. You may not wish to "burden" others or admit that you can't handle everything yourself.
Be prepared with a mental list of ways that others could help you. For example, someone could take the person you care for on a 15-minute walk a couple of times a week. Your neighbor could pick up a few things for you at the grocery store. A relative could fill out some insurance papers. When you break down the jobs into very simple tasks, it is easier for people to help. And they do want to help. It is up to you to tell them how.
Help can come from community resources, family, friends, and professionals. Ask them. Don't wait until you are overwhelmed and exhausted or your health fails. Reaching out for help when you need it is a sign of personal strength.
Consider the helper's abilities and interests. If you know a friend who enjoys cooking but dislikes driving, your chances of getting help improve if you ask for help with meal preparation.
Resist asking the same person repeatedly. Do you keep asking the same person because she has trouble saying no?
Pick the best time to make a request. Timing is important. A person who is tired and stressed might not be available to help out. Wait for a better time.
Prepare a list of things that need doing. The list might include errands, yard work, and a visit with your loved one. Let the helper choose what he or she would like to do.
Be prepared for hesitance or refusal. It can be upsetting for the caregiver when a person is unable or unwilling to help. But in the long run it would do more harm to the relationship if the person helps only because he doesn't want to upset you. To the person who seems hesitant, simply say, "Why don't you think about it." Try not to take it personally when a request is turned down. The person is turning down the task, not you. Try not to let a refusal prevent you from asking for help again. The person who refused today may be happy to help at another time.
In addition to taking on the household chores, shopping, transportation, and personal care, 37 percent of caregivers also administer medications, injections, and medical treatment to the person for whom they care. Some 77 percent of those caregivers report the need to ask for advice about medications and medical treatments. The person they usually turn to is their physician.
But though caregivers will discuss their loved one's care with the physician, they seldom talk about their own health, which is equally important. Building a partnership with a physician that addresses the health needs of the care recipient and the caregiver is crucial. The responsibility of this partnership is ideally shared among you the caregiver, the physician, and other healthcare staff. It will often fall to you to be assertive, however, using good communication skills, to ensure that everyone's needs are met—including your own.
Prepare questions ahead of time. Make a list of your most important concerns and problems. Issues you might want to discuss with the physician are changes in symptoms, medications, or general health of the care recipient; your own comfort in the caregiving situation; or specific help you need to provide care.
Enlist the help of a nurse. Many caregiving questions relate more to nursing than to medicine. In particular, the nurse can answer questions about tests and examinations, preparing for surgical procedures, providing personal care, and managing medications at home.
Make sure the appointment meets your needs. For example, the first appointment in the morning or after lunch and the last appointment of the day are the best times to reduce your waiting time and accommodate numerous questions. When you schedule your appointment, be sure you convey clearly the reasons for your visit so that enough time is allotted.
Call ahead. Before the appointment, check to see if the doctor is on schedule. Remind the receptionist of special needs when you arrive at the office.
Take someone with you. A companion can ask questions you feel uncomfortable asking and can help you remember what the physician and the nurse said.
You may be reluctant to start exercising, even though you've heard it's one of the healthiest things you can do. Perhaps you think that physical exercise might harm you or that it is only for people who are young and able to do things like jogging. Fortunately, research suggests that you can maintain or at least partly restore endurance, balance, strength, and flexibility through everyday physical activities like walking and gardening. Even household chores can improve your health. The key is to increase your physical activity by exercising and using your own muscle power.
Exercise promotes better sleep, reduces tension and depression, and increases energy and alertness. If finding time for exercise is a problem, incorporate it into your daily activity. Perhaps the care recipient can walk or do stretching exercises with you. If necessary, do frequent short exercises instead of those that require large blocks of time. Find activities you enjoy.
Walking is one of the best and easiest exercises, so it's a great way to get started. In addition to the obvious physical benefits of walking, it helps reduce psychological tension. If you can't get away for that long, try to walk for as long as you can on however many days you can. Walking 20 minutes a day, three times a week, is very beneficial. Work it into your life. Walk around the mall or to the store or a nearby park. Walk around the block with a friend.
Recognizing when your emotions are controlling you (instead of you controlling your emotions) is important. Our emotions are messages we need to listen to. They exist for a reason. However negative or painful, our feelings are useful tools for understanding what is happening to us. Even feelings such as guilt, anger, and resentment contain important messages. Learn from them; then take appropriate action.
For example, when you cannot enjoy activities you previously enjoyed and your emotional pain overshadows all pleasure, it is time to seek treatment for depression—especially if you are having thoughts of suicide. Speaking with your physician is the first step.
You need to make a change in your caregiving situation.
You are grieving a loss.
You are experiencing increased stress.
You need to be assertive and ask for what you need.
Learn and use stress-reduction techniques.
Participate in pleasant, nurturing activities.
Seek and accept the support of others.
Seek supportive counseling when you need it, or talk to a trusted counselor or friend.
Identify and acknowledge your feelings.
Providing care for an aging or ill parent can bring out the best and the worst in sibling relationships. Ideally, the experience of caregiving is a time for siblings to come together and provide mutual support to one another. As a stressful transition, however, the pressure can also lead to strained connections and painful conflict.
One major source of sibling friction is the legacy of family dynamics. Invariably, the demands of caregiving bring out old patterns and unresolved tensions. Past wounds are reopened, and childhood rivalries reemerge. It is not unusual for adult children to find themselves replaying their historical roles in the family, re-creating old dynamics of competition and resentment as they vie for Mom's attention and affection.
Another conflict can arise when one sibling is in denial over a parent's condition. Adult children who seem unable to accept the reality of a parent's illness and refuse involvement may be protecting themselves from facing a parent's eventual death and their own loss. More-active siblings may react with bitterness and anger.
Most often though, discord surfaces from the unequal division of caregiving duties. Generally, one sibling takes on the primary role of caring for a loved one. This may be because he or she lives closest to a parent, is perceived as having less work or fewer family obligations, or is considered the "favorite" child. Regardless of the reasons, this situation can lead the overburdened caregiver to feel frustrated and resentful and other siblings to feel uninformed and left out.
Resolving these conflicts can be challenging. But ignoring the difficulties in a caregiving situation can create greater challenges. Ultimately, strained family relationships can impede a family's capacity to provide the greatest quality of care to a parent.
Try to forgive family members who continue to refuse to get involved in a loved one's care. The only thing we have control over in a situation is our reaction. Attempt to work through your negative emotions to take care of yourself and move forward.

The Fading Phone Book: We Ask For Your Warm, Crinkly Memories We ask for your phone-book memories as efforts to phase out the residential listings spread. Did you sit on the phone book? Read from it? Tear out the pages? You can tell us.
Pop-Culture News And Analysis From NPR
The Fading Phone Book: We Ask For Your Warm, Crinkly Memories
November 11, 201010:20 AM ET
The White Pages, where many of us have found residential phone numbers over the years, are slowly being phased out in a number of states. NPR reported on this in early October, and now New York is part of the movement, too.
There will still be Yellow Pages, for the time being -- it's just the residential listings that phone companies are seeking permission to stop printing, except for customers who specifically request them. Everything from environmental concerns to the ubiquity of online directories to the decline of land lines has added heft to the cause, and in a growing list of states, you already won't get the White Pages automatically.
But the piece in The Wall Street Journal notes that where AT&T has stopped printing the White Pages automatically, 2 percent of customers still request them. It's not a lot, but it's something.
It's not hard to imagine a day when the Yellow Pages, too, will no longer be able to justify their existence, and the entire concept of a hard-copy phone directory will be something almost nobody remembers and almost nobody can imagine using.
Before that happens, we wanted to give you an opportunity to salute the phone book. That's right: salute the phone book. Did you use it to boost you when you were too short for the dinner table? Did you wander through it looking for funny names? (...Not that I would ever do that myself.) Did you possibly, at any time, use it for prank calls?
We want to know: as the world shifts in the direction of Googling, Binging, and otherwise electronically pinging those you're trying to find, what does the phone book mean to you?


PESHAWAR: The Election Commission of Pakistan has declared void the Feb 20 re-polling for 20 seats of 16 village councils and a tehsil council of three districts due to the low turnout of women voters and ordered re-polling in those constituencies on Apr 17.
A notification issued by the ECP said the village councils, where re-polling would take place included VC Kanju-II of Swat; Naway Kalay, Bagra, Mala Yousaf and Panjpaw of Buner district, and VCs Paloso Dag, Badalzoo, Khongi Bala, Saddo, Baba Gam, Swara Ghundi, Adokay, Tazagram, Nawagai, Ouch Gharbi, Batan and Watangy of Lower Dir district.
The re-polling will also be held in Samarbagh ward of Samarbagh tehsil council for a general seat.
The ECP said the re-polling would be held for 11 general seats of village councils, one seat each reserved for peasant and worker and woman and six seats reserved for youth.
It ordered the re-polling for four polling stations in Lower Dir, where results were declared void.
On Feb 6, the ECP had declared results as void against 45 seats in different village councils and tehsil councils in eight districts where by-polls were held on Dec 21 and Dec 28.
The ECP had ordered re-polling against those seats on Feb 20.
However, during the re-polling, the issue of low turnout of women votes persisted in the current 17 local councils against the 20 seats of different categories.
Under Section 9 of the Elections Act, 2017, the ECP was empowered to declare polls void in a constituency where the number of votes polled by women are less than 10 percent of the total polled votes.

va ser un arquitecte estatunidenc, guanyador del ler Premi Pritzker de 1991.

Biografia
Es va formar en Princeton el 1947, i va treballar amb Eero Saarinen i Louis Kahn abans de formar la seva pròpia empresa amb John Rauch. Va donar classes a la Universitat de Pennsilvània, on va conèixer la seva esposa Denise Scott Brown, que es va fer sòcia de l'empresa el 1967. El 1989, Rauch va deixar l'empresa, que llavors va passar a dir-se Venturi, Scott Brown and Associates.

Venturi va ser un crític ferreny de l'arquitectura moderna, publicant el seu manifest Complexitat i Contradicció en l'Arquitectura el 1966, considerat com una de les bases de les transformacions que tindrien lloc en l'arquitectura en les dècades de 1970 i 1980. En aquesta obra, Venturi considera que la cultura contemporània ja va acceptar la contradicció com condició existencial i en tots els sectors es manifesta la impossibilitat d'aconseguir una síntesi total i completa de la realitat. Fins i tot la matemàtica sembla haver perdut els mateixos fonaments racionals - com s'observa en el Teorema d'incompletesa de Gödel, segons el qual tot sistema axiomàtic prou complet és incoherent en el seu interior, presentant proposicions "indecidibles" pel que fa a la seva veritat o falsedat. Encara que crític amb relació al moviment modernista, el text es col·loca en una condició de complementarietat i diàleg amb els mestres.

Tot i que rebutjant el less is more — frase del poeta Robert Browning, adoptada per Ludwig Mies van der Rohe — Venturi va en recerca d'elements complexos i contradictoris fins i tot en l'interior d'obres produïdes pel moviment modern, reconeixent en tals contradiccions el vehicle portador d'un sentiment poètic i expressiu universal. Aquest sentiment es manifesta des de sempre, en totes les èpoques, just en arquitectures menors o espontànies i és l'expressió típica de totes les fases del manierisme. Del Cinquecento italià, amb Palladio o Borromini, fins Sullivan i, més recentment, Alvar Aalto, Le Corbusier i Kahn, l'autor busca mostrar, a través de molts exemples, la seva idea de complexitat i contradicció en arquitectura.

El 18 de setembre de 2018, Venturi va morir en la seva casa de Filadèlfia, a 93 anys. Segons parents propers, la seva mort va ser causada per complicacions de la malaltia d'Alzheimer.

To compare this person's work with crayon doodling done by retarded children at local Applebee's restaurants would be an insult to the mentally challenged.
You found this on a 'disgruntled customers maimed for life' page, right?
Yeah, that looks pretty bad - if I was a tattooer, I definitely wouldn't want to show this piece as an example of my work.
BTW, is it actually supposed to mean anything, or is it just a bunch of random characters meant to look "cool" again?
I totally agree with your last comment. The "artist" should be mercilessly punished!
Looks like he probably wanted 列炎 but got this gibberish instead.
wow, if that was my tattoo, i'd be horrified to have it posted on the internet. it looks like it was drawn on with magic marker that was running out of ink.
Even if the characters were clean and fully correct, that's still a pretty sad tattoo.
Holy hell, that really does look like it was drawn by crayons!
Sweet Sam Lee in Hong Kong. That thing is....well, words fail. Astoundingly crappy leaps to mind, but it's simply not enough.
Previously I didn't think it was possible for tattoos to look like crayon drawings. I mean, how hard do you have to try to make it look that bad?!
Another possibility for the second one in the butchered character department is 求, but again it makes no sense.
Perhaps asking this tattoo to make sense is a tall order indeed.
Ew! I can't believe a tattooer is making a living with something like "that". Even worst, I can't believe that someone paid for that kind of work.
When I was a kid, I would draw ship anchors on my shoulders with a ball-oint pen for fake tattoos....ı remember those days :) Maybe this is the only thing suitable to be a tattoo.
This guy would have been better off with the "asian font" thing.
I sincerely hope this was some kind of joke being played on whomever might comment about it and that it actually is dome with markers so it will just wash off.
I imagine one of the reasons why it looks so horrible is because it probably wasn't even done in a tattoo shop.
Tattooing is illegal in Oklahoma. It's the only state in the US where it is illegal.
Wow, I can't believe its not a felt pen doodle - like many I did when I was 12! Maybe I should go into the tatoo business too.
What I want to know is how someone like that even got a job as a tattoo artist. I've seen some pretty bad tattoos, but this one tops the charts.
While there are some amazingly bad tatto artists out there, I've noticed that a lot of terrible tattoos like this are "home-grown". They're done by amateurs who get their hands on the equipment to create tattoos. You'll often see comments about such tattoos along the lines of "My friend did this for me" or something. It's free, but you get what you pay for. Kinda. For something like this you should really get compensation if you honestly didn't know it would turn out like that. Like if the "artist" tried to pass off some other pictures or flash or whatever as his own.
The victim seems consenting enough though. I guess maybe there are advantages to low standards.


Reading news like this is totally making every sane pakistani (in and out) nuts. What's going on in here? Our president is giving state-of-the-art (read: ghissy pitti) statements as No one will be allowed to run parallel govt. Yeah sure! They are asking for permissions first. Meh.
So the security situation is this bad that govt has to issue statements like the dream of taliban to cross Margallas won't succeed again and again?
ps: On side note, listen to this … when do you think will happen in my beautiful homeland?
I turn on the television and I see a 3gp video on Express News showing a girl being slashed while two Mullahs hold her down like an animal. Apparently that poor "17 year old" girl was "seen coming out of the house with a guy who wasn't her husband".
She was brought into the street, people were watching as if it was an exhibition football match. No one uttered a single word. The girl cried, plead, begged for them to let her go. Inhuman people. This is not what Islam is. Sufi Mohammad, Taliban, Shariah, peace, drones, swat, attacks. Where the hell does this all stop?!
Various alim-e-deen gave their verdicts. What I fail to understand is that these head honchos brainwash little kids and tell them to do Jehad. Why not go THEMSELVES. No one asks them why THEY don't go. Why do they have to send kids..
Why does a girl have to suffer because they have to make a point AGAINST the drone attacks?
This is inhuman. This is barbarism. This is just SAD.
Then we say "We're not that bad, our image is kharab". With things like this happening, we can't really say anything about it no?
They say that justice delayed is justice denied.
The Chief justice has been reinstated.
People all over Pakistan are celebrating, and I had a sigh of relief as well keeping in mind that I feared loads of bloodshed today.
But -albeit this being a success for the people of Pakistan in getting their voice turned to practical results – the question still remains that like it's not advisable to keep all eggs in a basket – is expecting so much from a single person an intelligent expectation?
When will we place into action the processes that will streamline justice and that will let us have the leadership that is for the people, by the people and of the people instead of "far the people, buy the people and off the people"!
It's all over the TV. Prime minister Gillani to announce something to the nation. The rally has been allowed to pass through Kalah Shah kakoo on motorway albeit a lot of tear gas enabled people there to make the rally disperse.
What's coming up. Announcing a successful negotiation with the long march flag-bearer?
Islamabad Metblogs wishes everyone a very HAPPY NEW YEAR.
This year may bring Peace, Harmony, Tolerance & Love for Pakistan and also globally. 2008 brought tragedy after tragedy … let's pray for happiness for our generations to come.
And not just pray but execute…. the picture below shows the side of tale we all see around almost daily and then move on. May be caring for one soul lits our way towards our destiny. Take your time to think but Act Fast.
A lot is being said about how "change" has come to the United States of America. How an African American of Kenyan descent made it to the White house. How his motto of "Change we need" struck the hearts of all the people who voted for him. And we, we sit here "waiting for change to come to us". We want everything to be done for us. We curse our government; we curse everyone who says "something" nice was done. We hate people who are happy, and we try our level best to make them sulk so that they too, can be just like us. The founder of our beloved land of Pakistan, Mr Mohammad Ali Jinnah told us to follow three simple words. Unity, Faith, and discipline. And if you ask me, we're very far off from any of these three words. What good are these three words if we can't apply them? What good is any theory if we can't practically see its results? Have we ever been united? Have we ever laid faith on ourselves? We hold our hands up, and expect miracles to happen. Miracles I ask?! What miracles? That someday some angel from the heavens will come and solve all our problems? We are in a state of denial and nothing else. Allah helped those people who helped themselves first. In order to expect victory in a war via a miracle or a prayer, you need to get in the battle field first no?! But we, we think that just by sitting at the corner and spending all our time in prayers we will somehow be given super powers and we shall raise our hand to crush all evil. That sadly, doesn't happen. One more thing that we do lack is faith. Unity has always been an issue. If you ask me, if these words are re-arranged they form a pattern that IF we follow, may lead to something fruitful. "Disciplinary faith unified". We can't stand the sight of someone being successful then how can we expect to be unified. I laud the lawyer's movement for whatever motive they are fighting for, at least they stand united, they get beaten up together and they don't give up. Set the judiciary on a side, set democracy on a side, and take insanity up. Do we really think that by claiming to be "sane" we really come across as being "sane"?
I think "change we need" was for the Americans. I'd rephrase it to "Change we are". We are the change, we never look inside ourselves, and we never weigh the fact that if WE as individuals set our mind to something we really can achieve it. We never think ONCE that the "revolution" we so eagerly await will not be e-mailed to us. We vote for the "lesser evil" and expect to be on track to victory? 4 thieves, 3 robbed a bank, 1 picked a pocket, so let's just vote for the pick pocket. At least he was nice enough not to rob the bank we say. Attitudes like this and we expect "change"?
We need to make up our minds. Do we really want change? Or do we just want to be spoon-fed everything that's nice and the rest can go to hell. One CANNOT change anything if he/she doesn't change him/her self. That's a fact that we have to digest, we need to bring change in ourselves before we tell people that by wearing a black suit they're promoting death.
We can change the world with our own two hands, provided we use them. We can be who we've always dreamt of being, provided we try. We can be free, provided our hunger for freedom is properly manoeuvred. We can be us, if we just try.
HUM DEKHAINGAY, LAAZIM HEI KAY HUM BHEE DEKHAINGAY!!!!!
With the arrival of winters comes the arrival of the "much awaited" wedding season. People get married, people dance, the dulha-dulhan connections are made, relatives get to make new clothes, hotels and marriage halls welcome people with open arms. Loads of food also happens get thrown away (this is another blog post in itself). But although the "important" factors of weddings have already been mentioned, certain "little" things never really catch our eye. Take the "kum kumas" for instance. They illuminate houses so people walking from far can say " oye, aithay koi shadi horee hei?". But like I said, they are categorized into "minor expenses". Today I happened to talk to one kum kumay walay bhai as he was putting up the lights on our house (the landlords son is getting married). And as EASY as it may SEEM. It took him 3 1/2 hours to get the job done. And in that meanwhile, I got to see for myself how these people make a living. It's hard sitting in the dark with a torch in your hand in the chilly winter getting lights to work.
It was interesting, and the end product was amazing. This guy knew what he was doing. Street smart person did everything from connecting circuits to alternating the current to making proper connections. Things that we used to study in physics.
So the Ruyete Halal Committee at last announce that the Shawaal moon's been sighted and It's eid here in Pakistan, all over Pakistan, on 1st October. The announcement came at around 11 PM.
The possibilities of moon sighting were near to zero. Saudi Arabia announced the moon sighting yesterday and it was Eid in middle east. A minister in Frontier announced that there are 15 witnesses of moon sighting with him and he announced Eid without Ruyete Halal Committee's consent. In my opinion, to erase the conflict the Committe decided to have Eid in Pakistan unanimously. Hence it's tomorrow.
May the day brings lots of happiness for Pakistan and us all!

WYPR Trip to Cuba
Michel Martin
Steve Voss/NPR
Michel Martin - Square
Michel Martin is the weekend host of All Things Considered, where she draws on her deep reporting and interviewing experience to dig in to the week's news. Outside the studio, she has also hosted "Michel Martin: Going There," an ambitious live event series in collaboration with Member Stations.
Martin came to NPR in 2006 and launched Tell Me More, a one-hour daily NPR news and talk show that aired on NPR stations nationwide from 2007-2014 and dipped into thousands of important conversations taking place in the corridors of power, but also in houses of worship, and barber shops and beauty shops, at PTA meetings, town halls, and at the kitchen table.
She has spent more than 25 years as a journalist — first in print with major newspapers and then in television. Tell Me More marked her debut as a full-time public radio show host. Martin says, "What makes public radio special is that it's got both intimacy and reach all at once. For the cost of a phone call, I can take you around the world. But I'm right there with you in your car, in your living room or kitchen or office, in your iPod. Radio itself is an incredible tool and when you combine that with the global resources of NPR plus the commitment to quality, responsibility and civility, it's an unbeatable combination."
Martin has also served as contributor and substitute host for NPR newsmagazines and talk shows, including Talk of the Nation and News & Notes.
Martin joined NPR from ABC News, where she worked since 1992. She served as correspondent for Nightline from 1996 to 2006, reporting on such subjects as the congressional budget battles, the U.S. embassy bombings in Africa, racial profiling and the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. At ABC, she also contributed to numerous programs and specials, including the network's award-winning coverage of Sept. 11, a documentary on the Anita Hill-Clarence Thomas controversy, a critically acclaimed AIDS special and reports for the ongoing series "America in Black and White." Martin reported for the ABC newsmagazine Day One, winning an Emmy for her coverage of the international campaign to ban the use of landmines, and was a regular panelist on This Week with George Stephanopoulos. She also hosted the 13-episode series Life 360, an innovative program partnership between Oregon Public Broadcasting and Nightline incorporating documentary film, performance and personal narrative; it aired on public television stations across the country.
Before joining ABC, Martin covered state and local politics for the Washington Post and national politics and policy at the Wall Street Journal, where she was White House correspondent. She has also been a regular panelist on the PBS series Washington Week and a contributor to NOW with Bill Moyers.
Martin has been honored by numerous organizations, including the Candace Award for Communications from The National Coalition of 100 Black Women, the Joan Barone Award for Excellence in Washington-based National Affairs/Public Policy Broadcasting from the Radio and Television Correspondents' Association and a 2002 Silver Gavel Award, given by the American Bar Association. Along with her Emmy award, she received three additional Emmy nominations, including one with WNYC's Robert Krulwich, at the time an ABC contributor as well, for an ABC News program examining children's racial attitudes. In 2019, Martin was elected into the American Academy of Arts and Sciences for outstanding achievement in journalism.
A native of Brooklyn, N.Y., Martin graduated cum laude from Radcliffe College at Harvard University in 1980 and earned a Master of Arts from the Wesley Theological Seminary in 2016.
In An Election Year, Reflecting On A Political Power Couple From The 1800s
By Michel Martin • 15 hours ago
With an election year upon us, we are reminded that we have been through this before.
The United States in the mid-1840s, for example, was a country in the middle of a major transformation, pushing its boundaries to extend from coast to coast to claim what many in that era asserted was America's Manifest Destiny.
In Chicago, Hanukkah Now Has Its Own Pop-Up Bar Experience
By Michel Martin • Dec 22, 2019
As swaths of red and green trim Chicago neighborhoods this holiday season, an unexpected pop of blue is lighting up the Wrigleyville neighborhood. And it's got nothing to do with the Cubs.
It's actually the 10,000-plus lights springing from 8 Crazy Nights — what appears to be the city's first Hanukkah-themed pop-up bar.
Kyle Bagley and Sam Stone, co-owners of the Graystone Tavern, decided to dress up the sports bar for the month of December. Neither owner is Jewish, but Bagley says they saw a void in the crowded pop-up scene. On top of that, they wanted to stand out.
'I Done Been Through Some Things': The Tina Turner Musical Is Now On Broadway
By Michel Martin • Dec 8, 2019
Tina: The Tina Turner Musical tells the rags-to-riches — to rags again, then to riches again — saga of Tina Turner's life.
It starts in Nutbush, Tenn., where the young Anna Mae Bullock was born. Then it documents her rise to stardom with Ike Turner — who she eventually married and then left after years of abuse — and then her improbable (but somehow entirely fitting) second rise to fame as a solo performer, in her mid-40s no less.
'This Isn't Speech:' Attorney Carrie Goldberg On Revenge Porn
By Michel Martin • Nov 16, 2019

He contacted her friends, family and even work colleagues on Facebook to spread vicious lies about her — and that wasn't all. One night she opened her laptop to find email after email containing intimate pictures of her, including a graphic video filmed without her consent. Goldberg, a lawyer, went to the police and was told there was nothing that could be done.

David Cameron Talks Brexit And His 'Greatest Regret' In New Book 'For The Record'
By Michel Martin & Emma Bowman • Sep 29, 2019
With the fraught negotiations over Brexit continuing to embroil British politics, the nation's former prime minister, David Cameron, says his "greatest regret" is that those who advocated to stay in the EU lost the vote — which ultimately divided the country, paralyzed the government and left Britain increasingly at risk of leaving the European Union without any deal.
Falling Flat: Are The Days Of High Heels Coming To An End?
By Michel Martin • Sep 8, 2019
Fashion Week is underway in New York City, which means you can count on seeing many models working to navigate the runway while wearing high heels.
In previous years, videos have shown models trying to make their way down the runways in high heels, but tripping, stumbling and sometimes even falling because the shoes are so difficult to walk in.
From Louboutins to Manolo Blahniks, high heels have had their place in both pop culture and high fashion, but author Lauren Bravo says that the days of high heels could be numbered.

Tope Folarin Was 'A Particular Kind Of Black Man' — So He Wrote A Book About It
When Tope Folarin sat down to write what would become his debut novel, he began by modeling its protagonist, Tunde, after his own life. Soon Tunde took on a life of his own.
"When writers used to talk about this, I thought it was mystical mumbo-jumbo — when they talk about characters doing their own thing," Folarin says an in interview. "That began to happen to me. And so I said: Well, this feels like a Tunde, and Tunde started doing all kinds of things that I didn't do and I wouldn't do. And so it kind of developed as a novel."
The Pulitzer-Winning Play 'Fairview' Is About Being Watched While Black
By Michel Martin • Jul 14, 2019

In 'The Farewell,' The Bad News Bearers Keep A Secret
The Farewell is a movie with a wedding at the center — but the wedding isn't really the story.
The new film stars the rapper and actress Awkwafina as Chinese-born, U.S.-raised Billi, who travels with her family from the United States to China ostensibly to celebrate the marriage of her cousin. Really, it's to say goodbye to Nai Nai, her beloved grandmother. Nai Nai has been diagnosed with stage 4 cancer — and her family decides not to tell her.
Mindy Kaling And Emma Thompson Shatter The 'Late Night' Glass Ceiling
By Michel Martin • Jun 15, 2019
There's a funny thing about late night TV, says Mindy Kaling. Watching these shows, "there's such a joie de vivre" — but it's at odds with the "ruthlessness and mercilessness" that goes into making the show behind the scenes. "I was obsessed with how all these people could be working so hard and be so competitive to make a product that is so entertaining and light," Kaling says.

Here's a puzzle: Do the qualities that allow a man to block 300lb bodies every day have anything to do with the qualities that allow the same person to solve three-body problems late into the night? Stumped? John Urschel can solve that puzzle for you.
Melinda Gates On Marriage, Parenting And Why She Made Bill Drive The Kids To School
By Michel Martin • Apr 28, 2019
Melinda Gates, the co-founder of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, has written a new book, The Moment of Lift: How Empowering Women Changes The World.
Published this week, the book calls on readers to support women everywhere as a means to lift up society.

'Moonlight' Writer's Broadway Debut Stars A Queer, Black 'Choir Boy'
By Michel Martin • Mar 5, 2019
Perhaps you have read a book or seen a play or movie set in a prep school: say, The Catcher in the Rye, or The History Boys, or The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie.
The playwright Tarell Alvin McCraney, who co-wrote the Oscar-winning screenplay for the film Moonlight, has made his Broadway debut with his own take on the setting, called Choir Boy. But instead of the WASP elite, the school in Choir Boy has an all-black student body. The Charles R. Drew Prep School for Boys says it wants to raise strong, ethical black men.
How Christian Siriano Broke The Internet With His Inclusive Design At The Oscars
At the Oscars red carpet last Sunday, various stars posed for the cameras in show-stopping fashion: Lady Gaga donned a black Alexander McQueen dress and matching gloves, Rami Malek was dapper in a Saint Laurent suit by Anthony Vaccarello – and Billy Porter wore a velvet tuxedo gown by Christian Siriano that broke gender norms and amassed a huge response across the Internet.
In New Orleans, The Fight Over Blackface Renews Scrutiny Of A Mardi Gras Tradition
This Tuesday's Mardi Gras celebration in New Orleans has thrust into the spotlight a controversial local tradition dating back more than 100 years.

Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater Debuts 'Lazarus' To Celebrate 60th Anniversary
By Michel Martin • Feb 17, 2019
After dance pioneer Alvin Ailey died in 1989, the future of the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater was uncertain.

In 2015, a verdict was delivered on the cheating scandal in Atlanta Public Schools.
Transcript: Former 'New York Times' Editor Jill Abramson Addresses Book Allegations
By Michel Martin • Feb 7, 2019
In an interview with NPR Thursday, former executive editor of The New York Times, Jill Abramson, responded to allegations of plagiarism related to her new book Merchants of Truth: The Business of News and the Fight for Facts.
"Though I did cite these publications and tried to credit everybody perfectly, you know, I fell short," Abramson said.
In the book, which hit shelves Tuesday, Abramson examines four news outlets Buzzfeed, Vice, The New York Times and the Washington Post as they navigate an age of multi-platform news.
Poor Students More Likely To Play Football, Despite Brain Injury Concerns
Fears of brain injuries has deterred many parents and their children from choosing to play football.
After years of publicity about how dangerous football can be, football enrollment has declined 6.6 percent in the past decade, according to data from the National Federation of State High School Associations.
Those who still play the sport are increasingly low-income students.
An Engineering Wunderkind's Ocean Plastics Cleanup Device Hits A Setback
By Michel Martin • Jan 5, 2019
The path to innovation is not always a smooth, straight line. In some cases, it's U-shaped.
In September, a 2,000-foot-long floating barrier, shaped like a U, was dispatched to the Great Pacific garbage patch between Hawaii and California, where roughly 1.8 trillion pieces of plastic have formed a floating field of debris roughly twice the size of Texas. Made of connected plastic pipes, the barrier was meant to catch and clean-up the plastic.
This Yente Found The Perfect Match, Performing 'Fiddler' In Yiddish
Actor Jackie Hoffman grew up hearing Yiddish, but not really speaking it.
"I spoke what my mother calls kitchen Yiddish," Hoffman says — words here and there that she picked up from conversations between her mother and grandmother.
The language had always been a part of her life, but when she landed the part of Yente the matchmaker in a Yiddish-language version of Fiddler on the Roof, she panicked. "It was intimidating," Hoffman admits.
'Black Love In All Its Different Ways': Regina King On Her 'Beale Street' Role
Regina King appears in a new film which brings the searing social commentary of James Baldwin to the screen. If Beale Street Could Talk is based on Baldwin's 1974 novel of the same name.

New Documentary Paints A Picture Of The Contemporary Art Market Run Amok
By Michel Martin • Nov 4, 2018
Even if you don't follow the art scene, you might have heard about the wild incident at a London auction a few weeks ago when the street artist known as Banksy was selling a screen print.
The minute the hammer came down and the piece was sold — for nearly $1.4 million — the canvas started self-destructing because Banksy had installed a shredder inside the frame. There's now speculation that the piece might be worth even more after the stunt.
A Documentary Swipes Left On Dating Apps
For some of the 40 million or so Americans who currently use online dating apps like Tinder, Bumble and Hinge, the findings of the new HBO documentary Swiped might be intuitively obvious.
But for others, there may still be revelations aplenty in the film, which is subtitled Hooking Up in the Digital Age. It's about how these apps may change how we think about relationships — and it doesn't paint a positive picture.
'I Wasn't Sure If It Was True': John David Washington On The 'BlacKkKlansman' Story
A new movie from director Spike Lee has a premise that's almost impossible to believe.
It's 1978 and a black police detective in Colorado Springs, Colo., manages to infiltrate the Ku Klux Klan. He not only gets a membership card straight from Grand Wizard David Duke, but he's also asked to lead a local chapter because he's everything they are looking for — loyal, smart and a true believer.
He establishes a relationship with David Duke over the phone. And for meetings in person, he recruits a white co-worker to go in his place.
In 'Blindspotting,' A Cinematic Love Letter To A Changing Oakland
Oakland, Calif., means different things to different people.
For many, it's the birthplace of groundbreaking art and politics. But Oakland, like many major cities across the country, is changing.
That's the tension at the heart of a new film called Blindspotting. It tells the story of two lifelong friends and Oakland natives, one white and one black, as they grapple with fitting into this new world.

In both groups, the mean dropout rate for 531 patients who completed the study was 15.7%. A group of protesters blocked a major freeway in West Allis Monday night to urge city leaders end a long-running, racially charged case of police brutality. It's a tactic seen often in protests that have duloxetine buy online uk been held over recent high-profile police shootings, such as Michael Brown's and Freddie Gray's. The rally began at 11 p.m. the intersection of Interstate 94 and Wood Ave. The group walked through traffic with their signs – one reading, "Chicago's Black Lives Matter" — and stopped traffic to speak with people trying get home from the movies or work. About 20 or 30 protesters duloxetine generic equivalent stood at the center of westbound traffic on the freeway in their own lane, holding signs saying, "Black Lives Matter" and "End police brutality." They passed officers in a line, stopping traffic for few blocks to talk with drivers and hold up the signs, asking for a solution and condemning violence against police. In the city, there has been a growing perception that police officers may feel emboldened to use force out of fear being accused racism and that police actions could backfire. Mayor Rahm Emanuel's administration has repeatedly said it increased training to increase officers' deference for minority residents after Brown and Gray incidents.

Cost of generic duloxetine : 1.7 percent [95% confidence interval (CI): 0.7% to 2.7%), 1.5 percent (95% CI: 0.6% to 3.0%), cheap duloxetine coupons and 0.6 percent (95% CI: 0.3% to 1.8%) of monthly retail price per vial [6,14]. In 2010, duloxetine was available over-the-counter capsules (available in the United States) and capsules in generic branded form (available many other countries) [10]. The available formulations range from duloxetine ethyl cellulose (which is a very thick capsule, often with an added tablet to protect it) the generic dextroamphetamine, duloxetine ethyl cellulose (2:1, in the same size as dextroamphetamine) [15]. D-amphetamine has not been reported to have any effect on sexual performance; other side effects include nausea, headache, and insomnia in patients treated with it [14,16]. duloxetine is also available through the mail where, as with over-the-counter compounding, a prescription must be obtained and payment for the medication must be received prior to its delivery. In addition to the FDA, European Medicines Agency and the UK Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency have recognized duloxetine as an good drugstore brand waterproof mascara active ingredient in many preparations [17]. However, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency still deems this medication to pose a "potential for abuse" and lists a number of contraindications that are associated with sexual activity, including alcohol, tobacco, and physical or mental disability [18,19]. The United Kingdom's Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), also listed duloxetine as a contraindicated, not suitable for use in adolescents, and not fit for the use of children. Based on the extensive documentation provided by FDA and MHRA, prescribing practitioners in the U.S. should be aware that there is little evidence to evaluate the safety and efficacy of duloxetine the evidence does not preclude potential for adverse effects [8]. Accordingly, it should be considered with other medications before initiating duloxetine therapy in cases where the potential benefits outweigh risks [8,10,14]; however, there are no specific recommendations as to the dosage that is recommended [14]. For the use of oral preparations, it may be safer to wait for 2 weeks of steady-state serum duloxetine titration before beginning therapy [10]. Even after the effects of oral duloxetine on sexual dysfunction are established clinically, duloxetine treatment does not stop the sexual dysfunction. In some adult patients treated with duloxetine, serum concentrations of duloxetine will continue to decline even when sexual experience is established by masturbation [10]. Thus, oral duloxetine may be necessary in some patients with chronic or recurrent complaints of Duloxetine 1mg $86.1 - $0.96 Per pill sexual dysfunction that may not have sufficient benefit from one or more other medications [13,14]. Because of the potential impact discontinuation events, it may be wiser to continue for several weeks rather than initiate therapy at the start of symptoms if discontinuation will result in a substantial loss of the drug's efficacy. It is important to note that such an event can be quite rare and, should the event occur, discontinuation of duloxetine can be reversed without significant impairment from duloxetine treatment [20]. For patients with a history of depression or having a significant psychiatric illness as determined by the use.

We have performed spatially–resolved spectroscopy of the double–nucleated Ultra-Luminous Infrared Galaxy IRAS 19254–7245, "the Superantennae", along the line connecting the two nuclei. These data are analysed with a spectral synthesis code, to derive the star formation and extinction properties of the galaxy. The star formation history (SFH) of the two nuclei is similarly characterized by two different main episodes: a recent burst, responsible of the observed emission lines, and an older one, occurred roughly 1 Gyr ago. We tentatively associate this bimodal SFH with a double encounter in the dynamical history of the merger. We have complemented our study with a detailed analysis of the broad band spectral energy distribution of the Superantennae, built from published photometry, providing the separate optical-to-mm SEDs of the two nuclei. Our analysis shows that: a) the southern nucleus is responsible for about 80% of the total infrared luminosity of the system, b) the L-band luminosity in the southern nucleus is dominated by the emission from an obscured AGN, providing about 40 to 50% of the bolometric flux between 8 and 1000 μm; c) the northern nucleus does not show evidence for AGN emission and appears to be in a post–starburst phase. As for the relative strengths of the AGN and starburst components, we find that, while they are comparable at FIR and sub–mm wavelengths, in the radio the Sy2 emission dominates by an order of magnitude the starburst.

Q: Pass data between two activities in android using Intents I have the following code in a Custom Array Adapter where I use a button click event to start another activity. The Array adapter is in a different package and the activity which I want to start is in a different package.
public void onClick(View v) {
            int position = (Integer) v.getTag();
            String savedName = getByIndex(assignments, position).getSavingName();
            Intent markingViewIntent = new Intent("com.it.AssignmentMarkingFragment.intent.action.Launch");
            markingViewIntent.putExtra("assignment", savedName);
            v.getContext().startActivity(markingViewIntent);
        }

Following is my manifest file.
<activity android:name="com.it.AssignmentMarkingFragment">
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="com.it.AssignmentMarkingFragment.intent.action.Launch" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
        </intent-filter>
    </activity>

This is how I am getting the data from the other activity inside onCreate().
Bundle extras = getIntent().getExtras();
String name = extras.getString("assignment");

But the value of name is always null. Can anyone figure out what I'm doing wrong here. Thanks in advance!
