The U.S. State Department is alerting travelers to Mexico about possible tainted or counterfeit alcohol that could cause sickness and blacking out. The department cautioning vacationers who choose to drink alcohol to “do so in moderation and to stop and seek medical attention if you begin to feel ill.”

Abbey Connor, a 20-year-old from Pewaukee, died in January after being pulled listless from a pool at the Paraiso del Mar, part of a cluster of Iberostar resorts near Playa del Carmen, Mexico. She was brain dead, and a few days later was flown to Florida, where she was taken off life support.

A 2015 report from Mexico’s Tax Administration Service found that 43% of all the alcohol consumed in the nation is illegal, produced under unregulated circumstances resulting in potentially dangerous concoctions. Just a thought.

A Must...

Surveillance...*

C. Tarui, a 34-year-old adviser to large institutional investors in Bridgewater, contends that his male supervisor sexually harassed him by propositioning him for sex and talking about sex during work trips. He said, several Bridgewater top managers sought to pressure him to rescind his claims. 

  

The National Labor elations Board filed a separate complaint against Bridgewater. The complaint says that the company “has been interfering with, restraining and coercing employees from exercising their rights through confidentiality agreements that all employees are required to sign when they are hired.

It is routine for recordings of contentious meetings to be archived and later shown to employees as part of the company’s policy of learning from mistakes. One video showed to new employees that was of a confrontation several years ago between top executives and a woman who was a manager at the time, who breaks down crying.  

The employee’s complaint of atmosphere of constant surveillance by video and recordings of all meetings and the presence of patrolling security guards that silence employees who do not fit the Bridgewater mold.  

Adding sexual issue to any thing flames it up more.   Just a thought.  

Tabata...

Inactivity has been dubbed the biggest public health problem of the 21st century. The latest reports suggest that around the world it was responsible for 5.3 million deaths in 2008 – around one in 10 – more deaths than smoking.

Not only does exercise make you fitter, it can also ward off numerous and often unexpected diseases, from heart attacks, to diabetes, some forms of cancer and dementia. There are tentative signs it might even make you cleverer, by boosting cognitive performance and brain function.

Latest government guidelines recommend adults under 65 should do 150 minutes of moderate physical activity every week, in bouts of at least 10 minutes. Worryingly, only a fraction of the population manages even that. In the UK just 14% of adults exercise regularly.

However, a growing number of sports scientists advocate brief intensive training sessions to achieve the same health gains. The latest class to hit London's is called Tabata,

Eli Lilly CEO said he expects President Donald Trump to sign an order to reduce medication prices. Reports have indicated that a measure may be weeks away, perhaps after the Senate votes on health care reform.

Trump bashed expensive prescription drugs on the campaign trail and has vowed to lower costs. Eli Lilly, which makes products to treat diabetes, cancer and other ailments, has raised prices on numerous drugs this year.

Eli Lilly's CEO hope Trump's plan includes ideas the pharmaceutical industry has proposed, such as passing through rebates for Medicare insurance coverage gaps, pricing based on treatment outcomes, and speeding up the FDA's backlog of generic drug approvals.

He doesn't think the debate will end there. He cited Democrats' "A Better Deal" campaign, which specifically targets lowering drug prices as one of its central components.

The politicians getting donations for their campaigns from Big Pharma, and lobbied extensively by the same. Can Kory and Menendez call for lower prices?

The prices of medications in USA are the biggest exploitation of patients in the world.
