Billions of people watched as a 9.0-magnitude earthquake and its aftermath devastated Japan. The death toll mounts in what Prime Minister Naoto Kan describes as Japan’s worst crisis since World War II.
The first thing on most people’s mind after hearing the news of a disaster like the earthquake in Japan is: What can I do to help?
Relief organizations have mobilized a global effort to assist the people of Japan and are requesting donations of money, rather than food and clothing, to preserve scarce resources such as transportation and warehouse space.
Even if you’re thousands of miles away, there are ways that you can offer support to the earthquake and tsunami relief effort in Japan. Here are a few of them, along with some key organizations spearheading humanitarian efforts:
Red Cross: The Japanese Red Cross has already deployed 11 disaster-response teams, but you can support the organization by donating money. Similar to its efforts in the aftermath of the Haiti earthquake, the Red Cross is accepting donations online or via text message. Text REDCROSS to 90999 to donate $10 from your phone (you’ll be prompted to confirm with a second text reading YES).
ShelterBox: The U.K.-based organization, with 18 international affiliates, has launched an online fundraiser for the Japan relief effort. ShelterBox provides assistance to afflicted countries by delivering large utility boxes that contain a shelter and other emergency-relief tools.
International Medical Corps: To give to this global nonprofit’s emergency-response fund, go to its site, fill in your information and select the amount you wish to donate (be sure to note if you want your donation to be a “recurring gift” for future relief efforts).
GlobalGiving: Working with other organizations like the International Medical Corps, GlobalGiving, a Washington, D.C.-based group, has launched a Japan relief fund that will give aid to on-the-ground organizations providing emergency services. It is accepting donations online, with a funding goal of $90, 000.
Convoy of Hope: This nonprofit focuses on disaster-relief efforts.
Donate online or via phone by texting TSUNAMI to 50555 (you’ll be prompted to confirm with a follow-up text of YES).
Salvation Army: The Japan branch of the Salvation Army has been working in Tokyo to offer shelter to stranded commuters, and it reportedly organized a team to help in Sendai. It also has a Hawaii branch standing by, ready to assist.
Donate online or by texting JAPAN or QUAKE to 80888 to make a $10 donation.
Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF): This medical nonprofit expanded its team in Japan in the wake of the earthquake and tsunami and has groups working in mobile clinics in areas that are inaccessible by road due to damage. While MSF doesn’t have a specific Japan relief fund (we mistakenly reported that they did) you can donate unrestricted funds to support all of the organization’s efforts.
Google’s Person Finder: The search giant has launched a Japanese version of its Person Finder tool so that victims and families can locate one another in the aftermath of the disaster.
UPDATE: NewsFeed has been hearing of more organizations that are leading the way in helping the victims in Japan, so we’ll be updating this list as they come in. If you know of other groups that are doing great work and need help with donations, aid or volunteers, please them us know.

Why did the lady kick me out of her house?
I am a part-time Sales Rep, and I was promoting some products at a lady’s house. The lady was 90 years old. At the beginning of my demo, she got up, looked out her window, and said: “He is coming. I can’t be seen with you. You are going to have to leave my house”.
I thought maybe it was a racial issue (I am a South Asian minority). However, the lady was black, and I think she was Islamic and affiliated with an Islamic Church.
Why did she kick me out of her house?
Did it have something to do with her religion? Did she kick me out of her house because of racial reasons?
I even had asked her before I left her house. I said: “Are you kicking me out because of the color of my skin?”. She made some strange “tick-like” behavior with her head, and responded: “Yeah, your going to have to leave”. Her response sounded kind of like as if she was thinking about something else, while responding.
But, I don’t think it could of been a racial reason, because she had let me in her house, and even when I left, she said bye to me nicely and stuff. I don’t know…….given the lady’s age and other factors, the whole appointment with her was awkward, even though she did seem like a NICE lady.
I had this appointment with her back on February 15th.
I was thinking of calling this lady on the phone today, and saying to her: “Hi, i had an appointment several weeks ago with you. I was just curious of why u had kicked me out of your house so early during my demo-presentation of the products i was selling. Was it because of the color of my skin?”. However, that would be a strange thing to do, since the appointment was several weeks ago, and the lady is 90 years old, so she probably doesn’t remember or is aware of what happened that day.
And she said that she was the only one who lived in that house.
She gave me her secretary’s phone number during the beginning of my demo-presentation (before she had asked me to leave), which ended up not even being her secretary, but just her friend (I found that out, after calling the secretary and speaking with her. She told me that she was not her secretary, but just her friend). Okay.
By the way, I am a 24 year old male (just to let you know). Okay.

Also, if you are Islamic, or know a lot about the Islamic culture, please let me know whether or not her wanting me to leave her house has anything to do with that.

He always tell a story of someoneelse doing sex with me. we are enjoying our lives very happily. have two kids. i am 32. he is 43. ours is arranged love marriage. before my marriage i had sex with a neighbour for 4 years. he knows it well. he never made a negative comment about that. he often tells, if that man comes to our house, he will make me to have sex with that man oncemore. he enjoys that. because of that i have a desire to have sex with others. even if i get angry he wont. he always think very positively. oneday i was teaching computer to a 20 year old boy, he squeezed my breast unexpectedly. my husband noticed it. he just smiled and said enjoy.oneday the same boy came to our house to get a certificate from my husband. while he was attending a phone call, he put his hand on my thigh and rubbed over my panties. i scolded him. my husband said its ok. don’t feel nerious.my husband went out for shopping to let the boy chat with me. the boy was trying to do. but i refused and stopped him. four years passed. till date my husband did not ask a single word about that. I am in a great confusion, whether to have or not. plz advice me. while we were not attracted to each other (before 1995) he know my secret life. he has seen me with other guy in room many times. in spite of this our love blossomed and got married. he is very open. we both go to office jointly and come back the same way. while we go out, always we go as a family even to market/ entertainment etc.unless he/ or i am ill we would always be together.i was reserved before and after marriage. he only compelled me to chat with his friends and i became very open. i was dressing to cover up my whole body. But he bought new model dresses and now i am so modern. he never raise even adoubt about my phone calls, e mails or expense or whatever. most of the time , he asked his friends to drop me(two wheeler) if he was sick. if the same love continues, i will allow anyone to have his taste. but to go ahead for me is a question.

www.wedimg.com is a scam website that has stolen all my information and spammed it to other places. I get phone calls from porn lines now because they sold my information. Do not affiliate yourself with them! The Wedding Photography front is false and made up. WORST EVER!
