Serena Williams eats dog food, begs world not to judge

{Seems that racists and anti-feminists will stoop as low as they can in search to hurt on of the most outstanding competitors in the world. Duh – dog food, cat food is all mammal food. Trying to make Serena seem weird or whatever is mean, small, and racist.}

In a no-holds-barred social media confessional, Serena Williams admits to tasting her dog’s pet food, only to overcome any ill effects to advance at the Rome Masters.Original enclosures:

Drug Safety and Availability > FDA Drug Safety Communication: FDA advises restricting fluoroquinolone antibiotic use for certain uncomplicated infections; warns about disabling side effects that can occur together

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is advising that the serious side effects associated with fluoroquinolone antibacterial drugs generally outweigh the benefits for patients with sinusitis, bronchitis, and uncomplicated urinary tract infections who have other treatment options. For patients with these conditions, fluoroquinolone should be reserved for those who do not have alternative treatment options. An FDA safety review has shown that fluoroquinolones when used systemically (i.e. tablets, capsules, and injectable) are associated with disabling and potentially permanent serious side effects that can occur together. These side effects can involve the tendons, muscles, joints, nerves, and central nervous system. As a result, we are requiring the drug labels and Medication Guides for all fluoroquinolone antibacterial drugs to be updated to reflect this new safety information. We are continuing to investigate safety issues with fluoroquinolones and will update the public with additional information if it becomes available. Patients should contact your health care professional immediately if you experience any serious side effects while taking your fluoroquinolone medicine. Some signs and symptoms of serious side effects include tendon, joint and muscle pain, a “pins and needles” tingling or pricking sensation, confusion, and hallucinations. Patients should talk with your health care professional if you have any questions or concerns. Health care professionals should stop systemic fluoroquinolone treatment immediately if a patient reports serious side effects, and switch to a non-fluoroquinolone antibacterial drug to complete the patient’s treatment course.

www.german-foreign-policy.com – German Militarism and Japanese Militarism – Deja Vu by Default?

War Rather than Policy

In reference to the current “arc of crisis,” the “European Security Strategy” adopted in Brussels in December 2003, stated: “Our task is to promote a ring of well governed countries to the East of the European Union and on the borders of the Mediterranean with whom we can enjoy close and cooperative relations” – a rampart of controllable, stable client states surrounding a prosperous EU.[12] This objective has been completely missed, concluded Wolfgang Ischinger, Chairman of the Munich Security Conference at the beginning of this year. The “vision of a European Union that would be surrounded by a cordon sanitaire of stability, growing prosperity and cooperation south of the Mediterranean and in Eastern Europe,” has “completely failed.”[13] To shield the German-European empire from all sorts of problems and facilitate economic access to interesting neighboring regions, soldiers are now being deployed in the respective countries, ranging from Mali and Syria to Iraq – for the wars of the near future.How the Bundeswehr is preparing for the wars of the near future by growing larger, restructuration, and rearmament, can be read in an intermittent succession of articles over the next few weeks in german-foreign-policy.com.

This Grocery Clerk Might Be Everest’s Greatest Female Climber – The Ladies FingerThe Ladies Finger

Back in 2000, Lhakpa Sherpa finished her first expedition to the top of Mount Everest becoming the first Nepali woman to make it to the top and back down alive. This was only the start to her successful journeys, to the top of the Sagarmatha. Yes, “journeys”. By that we mean she has conquered the 8,000 meter behemoth a total of 6 times. She went on expeditions each year from 2000 to 2006.The profile talks of Lhakpa’s childhood, growing up in Nepal at nearly 4000 meters. And how when she started climbing, her first summits were two 6,000 meter ranges, Mera and Yala and then the 8,000 meter ranges of the Everest. But this was over a decade ago and surely a woman who has climbed the Everest half a dozen times must be a somewhat recognised figure, right? Wrong.The most successful female climber lives in Hartford, Connecticut in the US and works two jobs, one as a cashier and another as a housekeeper. She has three children and is also a single mother. She just finalised her divorce from her husband George Dijmarescu and obtained full custody of her daughters. A common Google search on Lhakpa Sherpa barely churns out a hand full of pictures and some thin articles but none highlighting her enormous achievements. Unsurprisingly fellow champion climber and abusive husband Dijmarescu yields better search results for himself than Lhakpa. These results include stories from fellow climbers about Dijmarescu hitting Lhakpa and her teenaged sister during a climb. And a decade of violence and fear at home is partly why Lhakpa is said to have courted the shadows in the last few years.Lhakpa’s obscurity is also a reflection of how Sherpa climbers are viewed as a collective and nothing more than a homogenous, anonymous workforce, to support the glorious individualistic pursuits of First World Climbers.Most recently Lhakpa tried to climb the Everest in 2010, she was forced to quit halfway due to the bad weather. She is reportedly preparing for her next expedition and is looking forward to conquering the mountain one more time.

Sectarianism & Islamophobia: Jounieh Wants To Become The “Christian Capital” of Lebanon | A Separate State of Mind | A Blog by Elie Fares

In the face of such disgusting slogans, I invite this blog’s followers who vote in Jounieh to refuse such hateful, xenophobic notions and to vote for the list opposing “Karamet Jounieh” on Sunday, which is the list calling itself “Jounieh El Tajaddod.”At a time when Christians in Beirut refused to be treated with the hateful, segregating rhetoric that Karamet Jounieh is giving its people in Jounieh by voting for Beirut Madinati, the last thing we need in this country is for such divisive talk to be center stage in any elections. Less fear and hate, more tolerance.
