Going on the offensive against one of the most daunting challenges in cancer, The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) today announced the launch of a groundbreaking, collaborative clinical trial for acute myeloid leukemia (AML), a deadly disease which has seen few improvements in treatments in more than 40 years.
Beat AML was announced yesterday by Vice President Biden, along with many new, Moonshot inspired initiatives across industry, non-profit and government.
AML is the most lethal of the blood cancers, which together are the third leading cause of cancer deaths in the U.S.; AML is responsible for more than 10,000 deaths each year. Despite advances in treating other blood cancers, the standard of treatment for AML – a combination of toxic chemotherapies – has remained the same for more than 40 years. Overall prognosis remains poor, with a five-year survival rate below 20 percent for patients over age 60.

Today, Futures Without Violence, in partnership with the Department of Justice, announced the launch of the first national campaign that will raise awareness, teach skills, and inspire public action to address children’s exposure to violence and childhood trauma. The multi-year “Changing Minds” campaign will motivate teachers, coaches, counselors, health professionals, law enforcement officers, and others who regularly interact with children to take meaningful action in supporting children who may be affected.
“Violence is far too prominent in our children’s lives, but it does not have to define their futures,” said former Attorney General Eric H. Holder, Jr. “We can curb the effects of trauma and restore our young people to wholeness and health, giving them the chance they all deserve to pursue their dreams.”

Launching in November 2016, Christian Louboutin’s perfume oils are a new and highly luxurious way to experience his three signature women’s fragrances: Bikini Questa Sera, Tornade Blonde and Trouble in Heaven. Each of these Christian Louboutin fragrances has its own unique personality, what unites them is Christian’s idea behind their construction. Intimate and compelling, Bikini Questa Sera takes the heat into the night. A trail of golden light, Tornade Blonde is the scent of desire. Intoxicating and mysterious, Trouble in Heaven is the scent of provocation. These perfume oils caress the skin; they are the most indulgent and sensuous way for a woman to apply fragrance and to delight in her femininity.
The alchemy of precious oil touching the skin produces a scent that is utterly personal to the woman wearing it. The perfume oil is an exceptional elixir containing the highest concentration of fragrance oil and no added water or alcohol, which means it provides a more intimate experience than a conventional form of fragrance. The oil features the same unique olfactive construction as the fragrance, which is what Christian calls the “ping." The first burst of scent, like the striking of a piano key, is followed by a beautiful resonance of scent as the note echoes its sound. “There is one present moment,” says Christian, “and then there is the trace, le sillage, I think of it as its memory.”

Coffee connoisseurs now can enjoy the most precise brewing technology - and deliver delicious results - right in their own kitchens. BUNN® today announced the launch of their newest professional grade home brewing system, which is available exclusively at Williams-Sonoma online, in catalogs and stores nationwide.
BUNN developed professional grade Heat & Release Technology™ to deliver a consistently smooth, flavorful cup of coffee. Typical drip machines found in millions of homes heat water at an inconsistent temperature, then slowly "burp" or "spit" the water over the grounds. The result often is bitter-tasting coffee. The new BUNN home coffeemaker heats water to the ideal brewing temperature then releases it through a multi-stream sprayhead that showers hot water evenly over the coffee grounds.
