After being without a website for almost three months, I finally have one, once again, thanks to my son Gregor. This site's layout is completely different from the previous one so it will take a little time for me to get it up and running. Please hang-in-there with me.Marion/Maz. ^j^

5/21/08 - Give a Free Mammogram.
The Breast Cancer site is having trouble getting enough people to click on their site daily to meet their quota of donating at least one free mammogram a day to an underprivileged woman. It takes less than a minute to go to their site and click on 'donating a mammogram' for free (pink window in the middle).
This doesn't cost you a thing. Their corporate sponsors /advertisers use the number of daily visits to donate mammogram in exchange for advertising.
Here's the web site! Pass it along to people you know.

11/6/08 - Help EIA StopTheTiger Bone Wine Trade.
Environmental Investigation Agency has recently uncovered outlets openly flouting international law by selling tiger bone wine. This so-called 'tonic' is made by steeping the skeletons of tigers in alcohol before it is sold on the black market. The animals used are specifically bred for this purpose on tiger farms where they inevitably die.
Although China enforces a domestic ban on the trade of tiger parts, some businessmen are actively trying to have these laws lifted, so that they can make even more money from this. This in turn would lead to a greater market for body parts and skins from the few wild tigers that remain, as it would be easier for poachers and criminals to smuggle wild tiger parts into the industry.
As it’s cheaper to kill a wild tiger rather than rear a captive one it’s clear that legalising this trade would only increase the demand for products like tiger bone wine and will raise the price on the heads of wild tigers, pushing them nearer the brink of extinction.
Act now by sending an email to the Chinese ambassador to the UK, asking her to

25/6/08 - "We have just launched a major new campaign video featuring top UK comic Ricky Gervais. The powerful video is called “The Real Disaster In Burma”. Over the last nine months millions of people around the world have realised just how brutal and ruthless the Burmese regime is. They have realised that the regime will stop at nothing to stay in power – they’ll shoot peaceful protestors, they’ll even leave storm victims to die.
We want the world to realise the real disaster in Burma is the government.
Please watch it online and forward the message below to anyone who you think will support our work. You can see it here: http://www.burmacampaign.org.uk/therealdisaster.html
Thanks, Johnny Chatterton - Burma Campaign UK."
