Qatar online communities join forces for ‘cool’ campaign
Online communities and websites Qatarliving.com, iloveqatar.net and Qatarvsitor.com have joined forces with the Qatar Living Volunteer Group (QLVG) to launch their “Cool Campaign” next weekend, which will see volunteers distribute drinks, t-shirts and caps to labourers suffering in the summer heat.
Group members are hoping to get many more volunteers involved in this year’s campaign, and have asked anyone interested to join them tomorrow to kick off the programme.
Sponsors including Sigma paints have provided a number of items to the group, such as 300 t-shirts and caps to protect workers from the sun.
And members have also managed to collect over 2,500 bottles of water, as well as fruit juices and other items.
Book 99 years overdue returned to Mass. library
NEW BEDFORD, Mass. – The book returned to the New Bedford Public Library in Massachusetts this week wasn't overdue by a week, a month or even a year. It was nearly a century overdue, and the fine came to $361.35.
"Facts I Ought to Know about the Government of My Country" was supposed to have been returned by May 10, 1910.
Stanley Dudek told the Standard Times newspaper he came across the book while going through things that had belonged to his mother, who died about 10 years ago. He decided that returning the book to the city was the right thing to do.
The overdue book fine was a penny a day in 1910. But Dudek wasn't asked to pay it.
The library plans to display the book in its special collection.
QLPG v QLCG - Photos of Cricket Match
Yesterday Qatarliving Pakistan Group (QLPG) played Cricket match with Qatarliving Cricket Group (QLCG), with the support of Qatarliving Volunteers Group (QLVG), Qatarliving Social Group and Qatarliving Books Group (QLBG).
How interesting it was when all these above Group Managers and Members met for one cause - Raise Funds for the People of Swat - Pakistan. 2.5 million people living in tents in the hot weather, lack of food, water, medicines and other living necessities.
We must salute to Mr. Omar Waheed for taking an initiative to start this cricket match : http://www.qatarlivi...
The main aim of this match by the Pakistan Group Manager 'Xray' was to bring all Pakistanis living in Qatar under Umbrella of Pakistan Group on Qatarliving.com

The Testament and Prisoner of birth for swap or sale
looking to sell/swap for other thrillers.have The testament-john grishams and A prisoner of birth-Jeffery archers latest.
My Latest Read: The Testament
Book Review: The Testament by Eric Van Lustbader
Of the many thrillers I've read, never in my life have I encountered such a book. A very well written novel, an outstanding style of plot elements, a magnificent dialogue, and, the best of all, the non-fictional plot encoded in the book. Eric Van Lustbader has definitely proven that he is one of the most remarkable writers of thriller. Every since I've finished reading all of Dan Brown's current novels, I'd had a difficult time searching for an author of thriller that can match Brown's writings; it's wonderful to say that I'd succeeded.
Happy reading to soon-to-be fans of the book.
