These Methods to Lower Creatinine Can Worsen Your Kidney Function2018-04-27 04:00
These methods to lower creatinine can worsen your kidney function. You must realize the severity.
Doctor, my creatinine level increases. How to lower it?
Doctor, my creatinine level is over 500, can I only wait for dialysis?
Doctor, the higher the serum creatinine level, the worse the kidney function, and the closer to uremia, is it right?
Serum creatinine level is an important index of renal function and also an important indicator to judge whether you need dialysis or not. Therefore, renal patients always concern about the changes of creatinine level. How to lower creatinine level and prevent it from increasing further?
To lower creatinine level, one key point should be realized.
The formation of blood creatinine is divided into two parts. Endogenous creatinine is mainly the product of muscle metabolism, and exogenous creatinine is mainly produced after consuming meat. Creatinine itself is a kind of waste, which is filtered out of body by kidneys. But when renal function is impaired and GFR decreases, creatinine can not be passed out of body, leading to its accumulation. That is why your serum creatinine level will increase.
Therefore, to reduce the accumulation of creatinine, you should not only reduce meat intake and avoid strenuous activity, but also restore renal function, which is the key point.
However, we all know that renal dysfunction is irreversible, hence to avoid the elevation of creatinine, we should avoid the progression of kidney disease. Two points should be done. One is to control proteinuria, high blood pressure and other symptom development, the other one is to avoid factors that can speed up the progression, such as infection, nephrotoxicity, improper diet, etc.
Why do some people say that creatinine level can be reduced by some methods and they are very effective?
If you just want to lower creatinine level, some methods can help you, for example, long-term vegetarian diet and not meat consumption, which can reduce the source of creatinine. Enema can speed up the metabolism of creatinine in body. some medications such as calcium hydroxybenzene sulfonate to reduce creatinine level. Those methods are only to decrease creatinine level temporarily. Though creatinine level reduces with these methods, your kidney condition does not get improved at all.
Can you only wait for dialysis with high creatinine level?
Of course not. If your creatinine level is stable at certain range for a long-term, it means your renal function protects well. if you can maintain such a condition, your disease won't get worse.
If your creatinine level keeps increasing and changes every day, you should be alert to your treatment. It may be not effective, and you need to adjust the treatment plan as well as control the factors that worsen your disease.
No matter creatinine control or kidney disease treatment, you should attach importance. And grasp your time for treatment. For more information on kidney disease treatment, please leave a message below or contact online doctor.
Our Treatment EffectMouse over the picture, it can be magnified.
You can take a look at this patient's report. His creatinine was 1028 and urea level was 39.7 on 2018-12-11; creatinine level was reduced to 331 and urea was 16.1 on 2019-1-5. After about 25 days' treatment in our hospital, his creatinine level was reduced by 697, and urea was reduced by 23.6. Hope his condition gets better and better.
Our Treatment effect
Proteinuria is a common symptom of kidney diseaseMouse over the picture, it can be magnified.
It can make your urine foamy. Although it does not make you feel uncomfortable, it can impair your renal function and make your kidney disease worse. Conventional treatment such as steroids and immunosuppressants can hardly make it negative. In our hospital, systemic Chinese medicine treatment can help you turn it negative. Look at this picture, bubbles in urine become less and less with our treatment going on.

ANAHEIM, Calif.
Yankee Stadium was falling apart. A huge chunk of steel had fallen from the upper deck into the loge level seats during batting practice in 1998. I was covering the visiting team, the Angels, and this was my first game working in the Bronx. This was my first sighting of George Steinbrenner.
Standing behind Steinbrenner on the press elevator that night, I had the same view of him that was always shown on "Seinfeld" arms gesticulating wildly, trying to bring some order to chaos. In this case, Steinbrenner was fuming because the elevator button was not following his command. If he could have fired it, he would have.
Soon enough in that crisis, Steinbrenner found the right presence to project. When play resumed after repairs, Steinbrenner sat in the seat where the beam had crashed, a leader reassuring the masses.
Steinbrenner, who died on Tuesday at 80, was still a regular presence around the Yankees back then. By 2002, when I started as the Yankees' beat writer for The New York Times, he was nearing his final chapter. He was still in charge, but he was relatively quiet in public. Yet he had his moments.
On a Saturday morning at Yankee Stadium that August, Steinbrenner's publicist, Howard Rubenstein, called and said Steinbrenner wanted to talk. His one request was that I ask about a comment from Commissioner Bud Selig that the recent success of the Minnesota Twins was an aberration. We scheduled an interview for that afternoon in Steinbrenner's office.
The context was important; baseball was closing in on a new collective bargaining agreement aimed at controlling the Yankees' spending. To Steinbrenner, the fact that the small-market Twins were winning meant the status quo was working. He knew the new agreement would impose taxes on a payroll like his, and he wanted the platform of the Sunday Times to rant.
"I see it hurting us and the other big-market clubs," Steinbrenner said. "You know, you don't buy a big-market team thinking it's a small market. That's elementary."
Of course, Steinbrenner, a Cleveland native, had first tried to buy the Indians. But he was made for the big market, the grandest stage. Most of his many charitable donations were done in private, but otherwise, if something was showy, he loved it. In his office that day, he beamed as he pointed to a photograph of Joe DiMaggio and Secretariat.
"Two great champions!" Steinbrenner proclaimed, and what could I say. Indeed, they were.
When the Yankees lost to the Angels in the playoffs that fall, I called Steinbrenner at his home for a reaction. He took the call, lauding the Angels owner Gene Autry and vowing to fix the Yankees. Part of his plan, apparently, was picking a fight with Derek Jeter. In a Daily News interview a few months later, Steinbrenner chided Jeter for partying too much and lacking focus.
Looking back, the motivation seems clear: it was Steinbrenner's final test for Jeter before naming him captain. Jeter passed, turning the incident into a cheeky Visa commercial in which he and Steinbrenner went dancing at a nightclub.
The jab at Jeter was a big story in the spring of 2003, and the Steinbrenner stakeout became a ritual in Tampa. You could tell he was nearby when staffers and guards started scurrying. But Steinbrenner was not always angry; once, he greeted the writers with a box full of cheeseburgers from a favorite local hangout, Pete & Shorty's.
That season was the last time Steinbrenner was truly feisty, when, as a beat writer, you had the hope or dread that he would say something provocative. For a few weeks, I could reliably get him on the phone, and he told me why. The Times was dealing with the fallout from revelations that a reporter, Jayson Blair, had fabricated articles. Steinbrenner said The Times had always treated him fairly "Tough, but fair," he said and he wanted to show support by helping out the paper.
Steinbrenner's health began to decline sharply, it seemed after he collapsed at the funeral for the football player Otto Graham in December 2003. You still had to trail him in spring training for the occasional outbursts a profane insult toward Hideki Matsui's agent, for example but he had little interest in the banter of old. As the years passed, he seemed less sure of himself.
Mostly he communicated through Rubenstein's news releases. The Yankees lost their postseason touch, failing each October from 2002 through 2007, but the notion that Steinbrenner would act rashly was outdated. He often had the same impulses, but General Manager Brian Cashman and others could calm him down. The Yankees went to great lengths to shield the fading Steinbrenner from public view. He ate in the press lounge in spring training, but usually at times when the writers were occupied elsewhere.
One day in 2006 I saw him there and shook his hand, thanking him for sending a baby gift for my daughter. It was a children's book written by his daughter Jessica, and it included a congratulatory note that emphasized the importance of fatherhood.
He did not seem to make the connection when I shook his hand, and perhaps he did not remember, or someone had sent the gift on his behalf. In any case, it was a touching gesture, and a window to the gentler side of Steinbrenner so often obscured by his bluster.
I don't really remember the last time I saw Steinbrenner. It was probably at an exhibition game this spring, when he would sit in an outdoor seat in front of his luxury box, wearing his Yankees windbreaker and dark glasses, looming over the ballpark that is named for him George M. Steinbrenner Field, on Steinbrenner Drive.
Steinbrenner had not been in the Bronx in November when the Yankees won their seventh title under his command. They clinched it at the new Yankee Stadium, the grand castle on 161st Street that will be a living monument to his legacy. So will this undeniable fact: when George Steinbrenner died, he went out as a champion.

TAMPA – Carl Pavano sure is right. He does not have to prove anything to his teammates. At least down here he doesn't.
Who cares how Pavano pitches in spring? It is as relevant as how he pitched in all of those rehab starts last year for Tampa and Trenton and Columbus. Pavano was a minor-league stalwart. He would have been Baseball America's Prospect of the Year if he wasn't 30 and making $10 million.
But on the several occasions, he was just about to be reinstated to the Yankee rotation, Pavano would report a new ache to a different body part, making him a pain to an entire organization. Over the course of a season, he reported injuries to his shoulder, back, buttocks, elbow and ribs. We use the term "reported" because many in the Yankee family thought Pavano was traipsing them through the anatomy of a cover-up.
So forgive those of us who are uninspired by the 10 offseason weeks Pavano spent at an Arizona health facility or that – to the naked eye – it left him in far better shape now than at any previous point as a Yankee or that yesterday he threw pain-free and with good life while working alongside the other four members of the projected rotation. This was just the first workout of spring, and – more important – this is Carl Pavano, master of the 30-day rehab.
Does it seem like a long time ago that Kenny Rogers assaulted those cameramen while with the Rangers? Well, you would have to back up another two days to find Pavano's last regular-season start, June 27, 2005. So Pavano's proving ground is not Dunedin or Lakeland. It is about Fenway Park and Camden Yards. It is about April and May, September and October.
"It's not really about these six weeks," Mike Mussina said. "It's about the six months." Mussina yesterday put the sternest public voice yet to an entire organization's frustration. Among other things, Mussina questioned the severity of the injuries that sidelined Pavano last season and stated "no, not just yet" when asked if he would give his teammate the benefit of a doubt entering a new season.
That should squelch Pavano's contention that the problems with his teammates were "hyped up" by the media. The hostility toward Pavano late last season was real. After it was revealed Pavano had hid news of a car accident last August that led to a fractured rib, teammates taped a backpage that read "Crash Test Dummy" to Pavano's perpetually empty locker and openly mocked the phantom Yankee. Many teammates do not like one another, but antagonism in front of the media toward a teammate is rather unique.
But this is not a popularity contest. Yankee players tolerated such misanthropes as Kevin Brown and Randy Johnson on the occasions they pitched well. So Pavano must win games not Mr. Congeniality for Legends Field. He must eat quality innings and disprove that the weakest part of his fragile body is his mind. He must demonstrate that he came to the Yankees for more than just the $40 million, that he is not a take-the-money-and-run-to-the-DL artist, who is spooked by the pinstripe life.
"He has to show a lot of people he wants to go out there and pitch for us," Mussina said. "If he shows us that, everything will be fine."
Pavano said the other day he intends to do that. He said he brought only his old glove and was going to burn everything else from his Yankee past. He insisted he "did not make a bad decision" coming to New York, and that he was not faking injuries to avoid the pressure.
But it should be remembered that his career is blighted by injury and underwhelming performance in every year but 2004, when his 18-8 just happened to coincide with his walk year. He is not a free agent again until after next season. So the motivation to rediscover 200 innings and the groundball repertoire the Yankees so badly crave cannot be monetary this year. It must be about pride for a player who might not have any.
And it must be about April-October. Who cares if Carl Pavano is the Cy Young winner of March?

- UK is a nation of Christmas workers as it's revealed that 44% will heading to the office between Christmas Eve and New Year's Day, with 12% at work for the whole period[1]
- Only one in ten (9%) office workers have booked the full festive period off and only a fifth (21%) of offices shut their doors for the holidays[2]
- One in five (20%) enjoy working between Christmas and New Year[3], citing reasons such as a more relaxed office (33%), a quiet commute (28%) and camaraderie with others who are also at work (20%)[4]
- But for those in the office over Christmas, over a quarter of workers (29%) take time to relax, admitting that they watch Christmas films and catch up on TV series/box sets[5]
- A further quarter (25%) spend their time looking at the Boxing Day sales and online shopping, over a third (36%) catch up on admin they don't usually have time to do and one in five (20%) use this time to review their personal finances such as household bill providers[6]
- uSwitch.com suggests using the time to review personal finances and save up to £1,000 on household bills.
Nearly half of Brits (44%) will have to spend time in the office over the festive period, with one in 10 (12%) having to go into the office every working day between Christmas Eve and New Year's Day, according to new research by uSwitch.com[1].
Only one in ten (9%) are taking the whole time off and one in five (21%) say that their workplace will be closed during this time[2], but of those who are in the office, one in five (20%) say that they do enjoy this time in the office more than the rest of the year[3].
A third (33%) prefer being in a more relaxed office environment, 28% like the quieter commute, and a fifth (20%) enjoy camaraderie with their colleagues on the festive shift. Relatively few (17%) say they dislike having to be at work and would prefer to be at home[4].
This positive mood among the Christmas workforce is perhaps down to how people will be spending their time on duty. Three in ten (29%) will be catching up on films, TV and box sets, and a quarter (25%) say they will be online shopping as they look for a deal in the Boxing Day sales[5].
Plenty will have their eyes the year ahead, with 16% looking to book their holidays for 2019, whereas 18% will be making the final touches to their New Year's Eve plans[7].
However, the most popular activity, is taking the opportunity to catch up on admin tasks that most people don't have the time to do during normal working days, which will be done by 36% of seasonal staff[6].
One in five (20%) are set to use this time to review their personal finances and see how much money they can save on their household bills by switching providers[6].
Dani Warner, broadband expert at uSwitch.com, says: "The days at work over the Christmas period can be some of the most peaceful in any office, and perhaps even provide some welcome respite from feeding and entertaining your family at home.
"For those who do have a reduced workload, it is a great opportunity to get started on those New Year resolutions and think about what you can do to save money in January.
"The simple step of switching your providers on a few bills can add up to save a household £1,000. And there should still be plenty of time to catch up those box sets."
Find out how you could save over £1,000 a year with uSwitch here.

Growing organic is no small task. And, in order to become certified organic, farms must jump through hoops, spend thousands of dollars and wait years for approval. Although taxing, the process has traditionally provided many benefits for both producers and consumers. Sustainable use of land, environmental responsibility, providing healthier food options and tastier meals are all reasons becoming organic is worth it to many. However, as the global food industry continues to evolve so too do the terms and conditions used to compare certified organic produce with the competition.
Whole Foods, facing increasing competition from mainstream grocery chains, is using new marketing skills to convey that conventionally grown produce is just as good, or better, than organically grown products. Certain Whole Foods products now carry the designation of "good" "better" or "best". Such designations can be attained by establishing garbage recycling programs, relying more on alternative energy sources, eliminating some pesticides, and setting aside some land as conservation land. In many cases these qualifications result in conventional farm produce with the same rating, or even higher than a certified organic farm!
Transparency in all aspects of life are important, but it is especially important when discussing the food we consume. This new revelation brings with it many questions, including what is healthy food? What constitutes sustainability? Does environmental responsibility through land conservation equate to organically grown produce? This issue goes beyond the simple question of how you grow food, and undermines both the cost and work of organic farmers throughout the country. Read more .
Join Bountiful Brookline on Thursday July 9th from 6-8 p.m. as we further investigate the relationship between producer (organic and conventional), and consumer with the classic film Food, Inc. Tickets can be reserved here ! Snacks from local producers will be provided. We look forwarding to seeing you in the theater!

Defendant was served with in the underlying prosecution, this
Court cannot determine whether removal of the case was
proper. In addition, this Court notes that:
There are only narrow and limited grounds upon which a state
prosecution can be removed to federal court. Under 28 U.S.C.
§§ 1442(a) and 1442a, any officer of the United
States or its courts, any officer of either House of
Congress, or any member of the U.S. armed forces that is
subject to criminal prosecution may remove such an action
that arises from acts done under color of such office or
status. See 28 U.S.C. §§ 1442(a), 1442a. .

Hallal v. Mardel, Case No. 1:16-cv-01432-DAD-SAB,
2016 WL 6494411, at *2 (E.D. Cal. Nov. 2, 2016). Based on
this Court's review of Defendant's description of the
criminal prosecution in her Notice, it does not appear that
her case falls within the narrow and limited type of criminal
cases that can be removed to federal court.
Court therefore CONCLUDES that Defendant's Notice does
not establish a basis for federal jurisdiction over her state
court criminal prosecution. However, in light of the fact
that Defendant is proceeding pro se, this Court will allow
Defendant to file an amended notice of removal. Defendant
must: 1) attach all "process, pleadings, and
orders" that she was served with in the state court
prosecution to the amended notice of removal; and 2) describe
the legal authority supporting the removal of ...

Few bands can match the sheer elegance and the untamed ferocious combination of melodic, progressive death and vile black metal that IATT (pronounced "eye at"; formerly I Am The Trireme) have conjured. Philadelphia, PA, based group bring forth their impending second album, titled Nomenclature, slated for worldwide release on September 27th via Black Lion Records on CD and digitally.
Packing a pummeling 10 tracks of ink-black madness, Nomenclature delves into themes of mysticism and the dark nature surrounding primitive medicine circa 1700. Tales of horror surrounding ghastly practices, diseases mistaken for malevolent forces, and the terrors of crude medicine set the stage for an auditory onslaught, sculpted with scalpel-like precision. This opus will cast the listeners into a world of science and occult/superstitions, the horrors of primitive medicine and malpractice.
As the 2nd preview of the opus, the Blackened Progressive Extremists offer the opening track "Cor Pumonale" off the album. "An immediate assault from the get-go, 'Cor Pulmonale' thrusts an ink black spike straight into the heart and sets a macabre tone for a journey into medical madness," the band proclaim.

Biddu is an Indian born, England Based Music Producer, Composer, Songwriter and Singer. Biddu was born in Bangalore, Karnataka, India in 1944. His full name is Biddu Appaiah, who produced and composed many hit record worldwide during a career spanning five decades. He is also consiered as one the best pioneers of disco, Euro Disco, and Indian Pop. He sold millions of records worldwide and he also received Grammy Award for his work.
Biddu family is basically belonged to Karantaka, India but he was born and brought up in Bangalore and he attend the school Cotton Boys School. In 1960 he developed a liking for the then new pop and rock music and he learnt play the guitar in very young age. Biddu's first major success was in 1969, when he produced the song "Smile for Me", performed by The Tigers, who were Japan's most famous band at the time, and written by the Bee Gees.
In the late 1970s, Western disco was getting popular in Asia and particularly in India, where there were not yet any home-bred disco stars. It was this reason that led established Indian filmmaker and actor Feroz Khan to England and to Biddu, in 1979. Khan wanted to introduce a catchy song in his upcoming Hindi film, Qurbani, in which the main score of the film was to be legendary Indian music duo, Kalyanji Anandji. Biddu initially wasn't interested in composing a Hindi film song, but later took it up as he would say years later, "I thought it would keep my mum happy (back home in India)". About the same time Khan happened to come across 15-year-old Nazia Hassan at a party in London. Khan later requested Hassan have an audition with Biddu. Biddu later signed her up for the song he was composing for Qurbani.
Having spent nearly a decade with the Nazia-Zohaib pair, Biddu next turned his attention to Hindi vocalist Shweta Shetty, both writing and producing the Johnny Joker album in 1993. Then in 1995, came another sensational pop album, composed and produced by Biddu. Made in India - a dance album for Hindi pop/film playback singer Alisha Chinai. The album became the best selling Hindi dance album ever and featured a slick handful of Western styled videos - a sure selling point for India's newly launched MTV set. It topped the Indian charts, where it remained for over a year, and sold over 5 million copies in India.
In 2004, Biddu re-emerged with a new genre to soothe the soul of western audiences. the album Diamond Sutra, inspired by the tragic events of 9/11, has Sanskrit chants and a painting of Buddha on the front cover of the album, shaping Biddu's concern of the world in danger of self-destruction. He is also critical of American arrogance and what he describes as an "I, me, my society," but insists he is not trying to lecture or moralise through his music. Biddu now lives in Spain with his English wife of 39 years, Sue, and two grown-up children. He started a publishing house called SueBiddu Music, which administers music for artists, wrote an autobiography called Made in India at the insistence of his wife, and has returned to doing live performances as a singer. In 2010, Biddu won an "Outstanding Achievement" award at the UK Asian Music Awards (UK AMAs), and he was also awarded the "Lifetime Achievement Award" at the JD Rock Awards in India that same year.

Martin Shkreli Net Worth
Martin Shkreli net worth: Martin Shkreli is an Albanian American entrepreneur and hedge fund manager who had a peak net worth of $70 million dollars. The majority of that net worth, according to Martin's own legal team, came from his stake in the company he launched, Turin Pharmaceuticals. Martin's stake in Turin was at one point worth $50 million. By March of 2018, Martin's net worth had dropped to $8 million. At this point, a judge in his criminal trial ordered him to forfeit $5 million from his ETrade account and $2.36 million worth of other assets including a Pablo Picasso painting and an unreleased Wu-Tang Clan album. Martin Shkreli was born in April 1983. He is the co-founder of MSMB Capital Management and the founder of Turing Pharmaceuticals AG. Shkreli is also the co-founder of Retrophin LLC which is a biotechnology firm. He has been criticized for obtaining manufacturing licenses for out of patent lifesaving medicines including pyrimethamine (Daraprim) and increasing the prices of those drugs in the United States. Shkreli was the executive chairman of Turing Pharmaceuticals and raised the price of Daraprim from $13.50 a pill to $750 after he purchased the rights to the drug from Impax Laboratories for $55 million. He is a League of Legends player and expressed interest in purchasing an esports team for $1.2 million in 2014 but was denied. Shkreli has also been criticized by Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington as they claim he has manipulated the US Food and Drug Administration's regulatory process to move stock prices for his own gain and sued him for $65 million in August 2015.

To this day, Warren Buffett remains the world's most skilled investor. In fact, Buffett says that the key to becoming a great and successful business man is to read books… to be more specific, read 500 pages in a day! "Knowledge builds like compound interest", which Buffet says how you can succeed in business.
Did you know that Bill Gates read around 50 books in a year? He would try to finish a book in one week and then move onto the next. If these people read books in their time and are now at a stage where they are the richest people in the world, then imagine what you could achieve.
We bring to you top five business books that will help you start your own business and run it successfully:
1. "Business Adventures" by John Brooks
The rise of Piggly Wiggly and Xerox, the scandal at Texas Gulf Sulphur and General Electric and many more cases such as these that went down in history are worth mentioning, which is why John Brooks talks about them in his book.
The book was such a hit that Warren Buffer recommended it to Bill Gates, which made it a top seller. This book talks about the ins and outs of corporate life. You need to pay more attention to the market before making any move. While philanthropizing is a good move, never trust your speedy success.
2. "The Innovator's Dilemma" by Clayton M. Christensen
You see a product or service setting trends in the market and you devise a plan to invest in it. What you should be asking yourself is this the right time to capitalize on it? While you take advantage of an opportunity like this with both hands, Clayton says that there are a certain set of rules that should follow before capitalizing on the disruptive innovation.
3. "The Intelligent Investor" by Benjamin Graham
What lies at the center of starting your business? Money! This book talks about how people should value investments. It shields investors from errors they might commit during their venture and teaches them how to develop a plan and long-term strategy that supports their revenue stream.
4. "The Outsiders" by William N. Thorndike
William says that a business man's success does not come from deep industry expertise or with the backing of a seasoned manager. Looking at those celebrity CEOs, one would assume that success is based on confident management style, virtuoso communication skills and charisma. We would beg to differ! So what's the hallmark of a CEO's groundbreaking performance?
The return for shareholders of one's company in the long term! This book talks about 8 unconventional CEOs who created a blueprint for their success.
5. "Think and Grow Rich!" by Napoleon Hill
The philosophy in this book is crafted from the successful financial experiences of billionaires. Although Hill starts the book with the aim of coaching people on how to be like said billionaires but the book encourages people towards perusing their own goals. It's a teach-learn-and-implement kind of book that tells you how to navigate the challenges in the business world.
Each of these books offers something different that will help you clarify your vision. While starting your own business might seem daunting at first but if you have the knowledge to create a strategic plan and work according to it, you will achieve success sooner than you expected.

Reading Over Time (MLA 2016, Austin 01/07-01/10; deadline 3/15/15)
"No story is the same to us after a lapse of time," George Eliot writes in Adam Bede, "or rather, we who read it are no longer the same interpreters." For a proposed MLA 2016 special session, we seek papers on reencountering texts at different moments in the life course. Given debates about the perception of "late style" in the work of artists and writers nearing the end of their lives, might there be cause to postulate a "late" (or "early") style among readers or viewers? What differences emerge with age and experience? How do political and cultural developments, shifts in aesthetic fashion, emerging critical perspectives, technological innovations, or the vicissitudes of personal history contribute to the renewal of a text over time? Please send a 300-word proposal and brief c.v. by 3/15/15 to Peter Rabinowitz (firstname.lastname@example.com) and Cynthia Port (email@example.com).

Qatar signs multi-billion-euro deal for 24 French Rafale fighter jets
DOHA - Qatar signed a multi-billion-euro deal with French defence group Dassault on Monday to buy 24 Rafale fighter jets, in a ceremony attended by the leaders of both countries in Doha.
The contract was signed by Dassault CEO Eric Trappier and Qatari General Ahmed al-Malki, who oversaw negotiations for the 6.3-billion-euro ($7-billion) deal.
French President Francois Hollande told Malki during the ceremony that Qatar had made a "good choice" in purchasing the warplanes, a correspondent said.
Malki also signed an agreement Monday with multinational missile group MBDA.
Qatar's Defence Minister Hamad bin Ali al-Attiyah and French counterpart Jean-Yves Le Drian inked a separate deal which will see France train 36 Qatari pilots and around 100 mechanical engineers, as well as intelligence officers.
Rafale jets can be used for reconnaissance missions.
Monday's ceremony was a "success for Dassault" and "the result of hard work by the team," Trappier said.
Having struggled for years to sell any of its Rafale jets abroad, Dassault has recently scored several lucrative, high-profile contracts with Egypt, India, and now Qatar.
French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius said recently that talks with the United Arab Emirates on buying Rafales were also headed in the "right direction".

Sweden: Princess Madeleine's husband Chris O'Neill misses National Day festivities
NordenBladet – Christopher O'Neill, the husband of Princess Madeleine of Sweden, has not been able to participate in the National Day* festivities in Sweden today. The father of three was scheduled to attend this year's celebrations but had to cancel last minute.
Chris O'Neill was supposed to join his wife, Princess Madeleine of Sweden for the National Day festivities at Skansen, central Stockholm this afternoon. After the National Day concert, Chris would also be joining the Royal Family for the reception at the Royal Palace. However, the Swedish Royal Court has taken his name off the calendar.
Princess Madeleine travelled to Sweden earlier this week with her youngest daughter, one-year-old, Princess Adrienne. The Princess was in Sweden to launch her children's book "Stella och hemligheten". Meanwhile, her husband would continue to work and leave their home in Florida for Sweden with the other two children, Princess Leonore and Prince Nicolas later in the week.
However, Chris had to cancel his plans to fly with the two oldest children to Sweden. Princess Leonore and Prince Nicolas have fallen ill and are, therefore, not able to fly. Both children have a high fever and an inflammation of the middle ear, the Royal Court has confirmed to Expressen.
Christopher, Princess Leonore and Prince Nicolas will travel to Sweden as soon as the children feel better and can make the long flight. Princess Madeleine and the children will spend most of the summer months in Sweden while Chris O'Neill will alternate between his job in Florida and Sweden.
In the past, Chris O'Neill often was unable to make it to the National Day celebrations due to work commitments. This year he had cleared his agenda for the important event, but sadly his plans had to be cancelled.
The husband of Princess Madeleine is scheduled to join the family for the birthday celebrations of Crown Princess Victoria on the 14th of July in Öland, Sweden.
* National Day of Sweden (Swedish: Sveriges nationaldag) is a national holiday observed in Sweden on 6 June every year. Prior to 1983, the day was celebrated as the Swedish Flag Day (Swedish: Svenska flaggans dag). At that time, the day was renamed the Swedish national day by the Riksdag.
The tradition of celebrating this date began 1916 at the Stockholm Olympic Stadium, in honour of the election of King Gustav Vasa in 1523, as this was considered the foundation of modern Sweden.
Some question the validity of this as a national holiday, as it was not observed as a holiday until decades later. However this event does signify the end of the Danish-ruled Kalmar Union, so in a sense it is a marking of Swedish independence, though the event occurred so long ago that it does not have as strong of a presence in the social consciousness as does, for example, the Norwegian Constitution Day, Syttende Mai.
In 2005 it became an official Swedish public holiday, replacing Whit Monday. This change led to fewer days off from work (more working-days) as 6 June will periodically fall on the weekend, unlike Whit Monday, which was always celebrated on a Monday. This has in turn led to complaints from some Swedish unions.

Fish SongA Poem by Miss Anna
I just sat down and this sort of came out. It's definitely not some of my more developed work, but it'd be a fun little Ukulele ditty. Let me know what you think! :)
Somebody drop me a line
because I'm stuck at the bottom of the ocean
All of the fish swimming by
Fin in fin, showing off their devotion
Oh why, oh why can't I escape
From this world of sand and waves
Take my heart out of this watery grave
And rise to the sun
Someone fish me out of this sea
Where they're sayin' I'm everyone but me
And the light above
Means so much more, more like love
Oh why, oh why can't I get away
From this world full of sand and waves
Somebody fish out my soul, hook my up by the heart
And raise me to the sun

Scholars for spoiling the party.

Scholars for spoiling the party.
If this can be verified, Islam is up for a rewrite of its history.
an experiment
and second,
some good reading for Monday morning.
Happy week all of you
And not because I converted.
This is a response to why choose Christianity and not something else or nothing else? It is an exercise in special pleading, appeals to authority and a case of ignorance.
The author starts by telling us most other religions are explicable without appeal to the supernatural. In his words
The naturalistic explanation, saying "men came up with myths about Zeus and others" fits all the data we have available much better than an appeal to a supernatural explanation; "men spoke about Zeus and the rest because those gods were real."
and I ask where is the difference between this and Christianity. All the data we have point to the bible and its god[s] being a work of humans. They are created and dressed in human language and given human character just as the ancients did, except in their case, people could surpass the gods. The christian has created a monster that no matter how much effort, you can't outdo it in cruelty and pettiness.
The author even has the mind to tell us
In this sense, atheism is a powerful ally to Christianity for the atheists help us make the case for why we reject the vast majority of religions.
The atheist rejects all gods. All includes the middle Eastern god to whom billions of Muslims, Jews and Christians around the world genuflect. To think yours is an exception is to me, the height of blind ignorance.
To make his case for Christianity, he gives, what he calls supernatural pseudo explanations. I call them pseudo explanations because they have not been shown to be true. The reasons he alludes to are
From here on, he goes of the rails in so complete a fashion that only a brain replacement would restore him. In the example of Paul, where there are many plausible explanations, he sticks with a pseudo explanation because it is good for his script. Facts be damned.
You would expect this fellow is going to make a serious case for his religion only to repeat the trope of Jesus rose from the dead and why? It is in the bible.
Why should one become a christian? Because the bible says there is an afterlife and you may have a chance with angels if that is your kind of thing. Really? Can't we have apologists who are reasonable and who tell us reasonable things? Or is their target audience the already
damned deluded?
With Dresser,
I do not know what truth is, what beauty is, what love is, what hope is. I do not believe any one absolutely and I do not doubt any one absolutely. I think people are both evil and well-intentioned.
I couldn't have chosen a better title for this post, so we will make do with the above. In his post, glorifying sex, alcohol and drugs Aloo wants to portray a picture of decadence of morals among the present generation school going children.
He tells us, in his own words
As I join everybody else in condemning the behavior of the students in question and their lackluster approach to life, I must point out that there was nothing shocking about the incident because ours is a rotten society. [emphasis by me]
How is the society rotten? Is it because school girls and boys were having sex, doing drugs or because they were found doing this? Whilst I don't urge drug use among adolescent you, blanket condemnation of society as being in a state of decay maybe because there is so much sex is in my view hypocritical.
Our interlocutor goes ahead to claim, unashamedly, that
What you have to understand is that the society is affected by reckless (allow me to use this word again) sexual behavior of young people. This is reflected in the rate at which sexually transmitted diseases including HIV/AIDS is spreading across the nation.
And when pointed to statistics from the ministry of health about which demographic leads in the spread of HIV/AIDS, he brushes it off with a slight of hand because it doesn't fit into his scheme of propaganda. He blames everyone else of sugaring their stories with sex tales to sell while he does the same while ignoring facts. One wonders what his goals are. Is it to demonize the unlucky students who were unlucky or to offer guidance in how to solve the problem.
Before you start demonize yours truly for promoting loose morals; lets not pretend that our generations were far better than the current breed of children. We may not have been caught in buses during school holidays not because we were paragons of virtue, far from it. It could be because we didn't attend school far from home and did not have access to drugs.
End of rant.
I know this is one of the reasons I don't like Craig and his divine command theory

North Carolina's health department does not require food handlers to receive an NC food handlers card (also known as the North Carolina Food Handlers Permit).
It is important to keep in mind though, that some employers or restaurant managers will require food handlers to complete training regardless of state jurisdiction. Also, some counties may require the NC Food Handlers card at a local level.
👌 Listen up: Searching online for the NC food handlers card will lead to multiple sites claiming that you must have one, and that they have the test for you to take. Please be leery with most of these course providers. In some instances, they are trying to get you to pay for something that you do NOT necessarily need…
What is the NC Food Handlers Card?
The NC food handlers card, also known as the North Carolina food handlers permit and/or license, is a certificate proving to employers and public health inspectors alike that you are qualified to handle unpackaged food products served to the general public. Unlike some states in the country, it is NOT a requirement for common kitchen employees to have one in the state of North Carolina.
What is required in North Carolina though, is that restaurants must have a Certified Food Protection Manager (CFPM) on staff. Folks know this as the North Carolina CFPM card requirement.
This manager must show proficiency of the required North Carolina food safety regulations through passing a test that is part of an accredited program. See below for course details. 👇👇
North Carolina Certified Food Protection Manager
North Carolina requires that one employee at every restaurant who prepares foods must be certified as a Food Protection Manager.
Here's the requirement pulled directly from the current North Carolina Food Code:
At least one EMPLOYEE who has supervisory and
management responsibility and the authority to direct and
control FOOD preparation and service shall be a certified FOOD protection manager who has shown proficiency of required information through passing a test that is part of an American National Standards Institute (ANSI)-ACCREDITED PROGRAM.
So although there's no North Carolina food handlers permit state requirement, it still may be in your best interest to receive and pass the test for Food Protection Manager Training.
Not only will this help you during your job application, but it can make you a well rounded employee. This stuff also helps boost your resume.
Currently, only the following list of ANSI-accredited Food Safety Manager Certification providers are valid in NC:
**We may be missing a few. But the courses shown above seem to be the most popular.
Other Requirements That May Be Helpful:
- Good Communication Skills
- Being able to stand long periods of time
- Knowledge of basic food safety
For more information, please visit the North Carolina Health Department's website here.
