Ginger Ale...

A federal lawsuit filed in Buffalo, New York, claims Canada Dry_ Group led consumers to believe their ginger ale product contained real ginger.
"Instead, Canada Dry Ginger Ale is made from carbonated water, high fructose corn syrup, citric acid, preservatives and 'natural flavors,' i.e., a flavor compound comprised predominately of flavor extracts not derived from ginger, and a minuscule amount of a ginger flavor extract."
Watch for the Sugar content.

The recent offer from Pres. Trump to meet with Iran without preconditions is a great move of this president. He is choosing Peace over what others asked him to bomb Iran day in and day out.

Senior Iranian officials rejected U.S. President Donald Trump's offer of talks without preconditions as worthless and "a humiliation" after he acted to reimpose sanctions on Tehran following his withdrawal from a landmark nuclear deal. 

Give it time. The war we started in the middle put the area and the world into a difficult situation.

Alienate...

Keith King sued Huizar for alienation of affection and emotional distress, as reported by The Herald Sun.  
 Danielle King and Huizar met at a BMX show in August 2015 and began an affair shortly afterwards. Keith King found out about the affair soon after.
Danielle King said she'd been unhappy for the entirety of the marriage since the couple were wed in 2010. After initiating her relationship with Huizar, she began the separation process from her husband in 2016.
Huizar's attorney alleged that Keith King manipulated his wife throughout their marriage controlling her access to money, snooping through her phone, making her work without pay, and work when she needed time for childcare.

The case is clear. There was no affection to alienate.

Famine...

And there were four leprous men at the entering in of the gate: and they said one to another, Why sit we here until we die?

If we say, We will enter into the city, then the famine is in the city, and we shall die there: and if we sit still here, we die also.

Bon Appetit..

You think the best burger in America came from, Shake Shack. Five Guys. But if you're from Chapel Hill, North Carolina, you'd say Al's Burger Shack
TripAdvisor announced its list of the Top 10 Burger Restaurants in the U.S. Coming in first was Al's, a tiny little burger joint in Chapel Hill, home of the University of North Carolina. Al Bowers opened the restaurant in 2013 - fittingly, on National Cheeseburger Day - and in 2017, added a second location across town. Both restaurants have the same simple but delicious menu: burgers, fries, hot dogs and drinks.

Insult...

The Time...

An Egyptian court said it would transfer the cases of some accused of security-related offences of killing 43 police officers and 800 civilians, to Egypt's top religious authority.
They are among more than 700 people accused of murder over a 2013 demonstration at Rabaa Adawiya square when Islamist president Mohamed Mursi was ousted.
Egyptian law requires any capital sentence to be referred to Grand Mufti,  which is not legally binding, but is rarely ignored by the courts.  

Sanctions...

Boeing stepped in to rescue the Ukrainian plane maker Antonov, known for producing the world's largest aircraft.

The firm had ceased production because of its heavy reliance on Russian imports, which had collapsed after Moscow's annexation of Crimea in 2014.
But, Boeing's parts, equipment and services unit, Aviall, is set to now provide the components and Antonov plans to build eight aircraft a year.
Sanctions we apply to other countries destroy their economy.  cruel way to punish the people of certain countries.

Super Bug...

Image result for CDC research on over prescribing antibiotics

New research from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in Atlanta, Georgia, suggests that doctors may be overprescribing antibiotics, both in urgent care and retail clinic settings.
Dr. Katherine Fleming-Dutra and her research team showed that for respiratory or airway tract related illnesses, antibiotic medications were inappropriately prescribed in 45.7% of urgent care visits, 24.6% of emergency room visits, 17.0% of medical office visits and 14.4% of retail clinic visits. 
They fight what are often called “germs:” bacteria. But people can become infected with viruses, fungi, or parasites as well, and antibiotics don’t work against those. A superbug is a bacteria that has high levels of resistance to many different antibiotics.
One example: The CDC reports 246,000 cases of drug-resistant gonorrhea infections per year. 

Middlemen...

The Trump administration is working on a rule to upend the current drug-price negotiation system by targeting the middlemen in the process, pharmacy benefit managers, or PBMs  which currently demand large and secret rebates from pharmaceutical companies in exchange for favoring their drugs in competitive areas. 
Ending rebates would help the company to narrow the gap between the list, or sticker price, and the real price of its drugs. That would reduce costs for consumers and potentially boost demand.
Without rebate-driven exclusive contracts, sales volume might go down for certain products. Incentives to favor more expensive products would erode. And it’s not as if Lilly hasn’t benefited from the current system at times this year, for instance, it managed to secure favorable coverage for its copy of Sanofi’s blockbuster insulin Lantus.

This is not an open market condition. Leech on the back of the patient.
