NYC Sees Rash of Rare Infections Tied to Seafood

NYC Sees Rash of Rare Infections Tied to Seafood
http://pixel.quantserve.com/pixel/p-89EKCgBk8MZdE.gif


(Newser) – Two things you never want to see linked: “outbreak” and “rare skin infection.” Unfortunately, that’s apparently the case in New York City, where some 30 people who bought seafood in Chinatown markets over the last six months have found themselves battling “Mycobacterium marinum.” The city’s Health Department made the announcement yesterday, and painted a picture of the bacteria and how it operates: It enters the body via open wounds (so wearing gloves at home while prepping dinner is apparently a good preventative measure, notes the DOH) and causes bumps to appear under the skin; that morphs into a wound that won’t heal.


Symptoms can take weeks to show, and while the infection can turn serious and even require surgery, it’s easily fixable with a course of antibiotics. A not-so-appetizing assurance from the DOH: Any seafood that may be behind the infection is safe to eat. The New York Times reports the outbreak came to light after a Chinatown hand surgeon last week contacted the health department after seeing 15 patients with the infection, compared to a previous tally of about one patient a year; he believes most were infected after puncturing their skin with a fish bone. The city’s deputy commissioner for disease control noted that the bacterium is most commonly seen in fish and aquariums, not humans.

Rh negative not that rare? more special than rare!?


posted on Feb, 2 2014 @ 10:45 PM


Just went for a blood test today to see what my grouping is, i had a blood test before for GH levels and it said i was RH- D negative, it didnt say if i was A B O or AB neg though.
I havent researched much on the blood type till these past few weeks, theres not that much and most of what ive read i covered in a day or so.

Heres what ive noticed though, if its so rare how come so many people have it?
I visit this site called the bodybuilding forum, and i searched for a whats your blood type thread, and lo and behold most people posting there where rh negative, maybe they were attracted to the topic which is why they posted but you still cant exclude the findings most people posting where rh negative and there was a disproportionate amount of rh negs given how rare people with the blood type are compared to the overall posters.


heres the link if your interested


I signed up on ats to discuss this, i just found this site and most of the info on rh negs and all are on this site so ive browsed through all the threads and all but one this still prevails, is it rare as people say it is? how many people here are rh neg, whats your blood type?
Is it rare? or is it special? i think its a very special blood type and not rare.



Also why is it that so many white people have this blood type, why isnt it split evenly between the races?

Rare Book Claims History is About Race

 

November 25, 2013


  Semigotha.jpg                                    

Semigotha (1912) is a 580-page historical-genealogical handbook written in German in tiny Gothic script. It claims to trace Jewish blood in German noble families, asserting that Jewish blood has “spoiled” German and European blood.


This book lists the family lines of thousands of Jewish surnames. In the introduction, it says that blood, (i.e. German race vs Jewish race) is of prime importance in understanding world events.


(Editor’s Note: This curious book was mentioned by a European reader. I am grateful to him for translating this information which I post in hope of eliciting more information and comment. This certainly fuels the debate/mystery over whether Jews are a race or a belief-system.)


by “Spectator”
(henrymakow.com)


The  Historical Genealogical pocketbook “Semigotha”, was published in 1912 in Weimar by Kyffhäuser publishing house.


It claims that a “clear understanding of the Politics without detailed knowledge of Genealogy is not possible.” (Privy council Prof. Ottokar Lorenz)


and


“Perception of  History in a way that does not have it`s roots in the Race perception is not thinkable any more.”  (Möller van den Bruck)


The book is an aggregation of all male lines of Jewish blood, that are of the real oriental race type of ( incorrectly called Israelites) Jews or Hebrews who were Noble families in the past and are Noble families now, without taking into account their possible Christian confession or possible mixing of blood through marriage of Christian women – seen from the racial point of view.
 
The book consists of several thousand names of European nobility with a Jewish connection. It is extremely difficult to read because it is in a tiny font. I went through all the pages (there is no full index) and recognized the following names: Oppenheimer, Rothschild, Gomperz and Rhodes.
All in all, there are several thousand names/families. Very many Noble titles were simply bought with money, especially in Austria/Hungary.


Here are quotations from the Preface of the book which support its claims:


“Nobody may treat the Race principle indifferently. It is the KEY to world history and therefore history is often so confused because it was written by people who were not aware of the Race question and even less the pertaining moments. Wherever one may came across them, be it in a community or with an individual, one must recon with it. Language and Religion do not constitute a Race. Blood does.” D`Israeli, Lord Beaconsfield


The book gives several examples of statements made by Jews themselves:


CCF14112012_00002.jpg“Let us not forget where we came from! No more “German” Jews, no more “Portuguese” Jews! We are dispersed over the whole world, but still only one people! ” Rabbi Salomon Lippmann


“The Jews are a Nation. We are Jews because we were born as Jews. A child of Jewish parents is Jewish. The birth gives him all obligations of a Jew and not through circumcision we become Jews. No, this cannot be compared with Christian baptism. We are not Jews because we were circumcised, but we circumcise our children because we are Jewish. The Seal of a Jews is given to us at the birth and this Seal we can not loosen or give up; even a Jew who denies his Religion, who lets himself baptized remains being a Jew and all his Jewish obligations remain with him forever.” Archives Israelites 1864, Paris


“The Revolution is the Star of Judah, which shines upon the heads of Israel and will shine even more.” Head body of the Alliance Univers. Israelite Sept 5. 1867


At the Jewish Congress in Basel 1898 Dr. Mandelstamm, Univ. Prof. from Kiev declared, that “Jews refuse to merge with the rest of the Nationalities with all energy and will stick to their historical hope (to rule the world).”


“Baptism or even crossbreed do not help at all. We remain Jews even in 100th generation, so as 3000 years ago. We do not get rid of the smell of our Race
( foetor judaicus), even after 10th crossbreed, and with any connection with a woman of any kind, our Race is dominant; young Jews will be born!”
Prof. Eduard Gans


“We are the chosen people! Proud may we keep our heads up and demand special right to be adored. We should not only have equal rights, but preferred rights!!!” Dr. Bernhard Cohn, 1899.


“We Jews are based on our oriental roots. As a consequence, an abysmal ethnological and cultural divide separates us from Aryans and especially from Germans. We are not in a position to claim even a smallest right on German customs. In one word, we have with Germans absolutely nothing in common!” Wiener jüd.Volksblatt 1903.


“What does the Jew want? You take the role of our Race completely wrong. The inventions of the steam engine, for example, are Aryan`s business. May he with the help of the taxpayer spend millions to build a railway and then starve in the attic, it is his business. Only then is the right moment for us to collect dividends. This is how you make business with a Goy.  Doesn`t Talmud say; a Jew is a human and what is not of Jewish Race is equal to animal? How is it in the 5th book of Moses, ch.6, line 11: “Jehova, your Master and God will give you houses full of goods, which you did not build and fill them, dug wells that you did not dig and vineyards that you did not Plant, so that you will eat and be full.” James Rothschild writing to Isaak Pereira.


“Not only we, the Jews, are so degenerated and at the end with our exhausted and depleted culture. All Races of Europe -  maybe we have infected them, spoiled their blood. In general, everything today is already soaked with Jewishness. Our mind is everywhere alive; our spirit rules the world. We are the Masters, because whatever has power today is our child. One may hate us, expel us, may our enemies triumph over our weak bodies.
We can not be cast out. We have eaten our way into Nations, have soaked the Races, blighted, broke their will, made everything mellow, rotten and decayed with our insipid culture. Our spirit cannot be eradicated any more.” Kurt Münzer, Writer, 1905


“One Reich, one Nation, one God”
Kaiser Wilhelm II


” An Exit from the Jewish Race is not possible. Whether the Jew speaks German or English, Polish or Hungarian or whatever else, even if he also adopted the Christian religion, he always remains a Jew.”


Basic axiom of Hebraism says: “You shall set one of your brothers as a King over you. You cannot recognize somebody that is not of your Tribe to be your King.” 5. Moses 17,15

Rare solar eclipse sweeps Atlantic











A rare solar eclipse allowing a view of the Sun that is totally or partially blocked out by the Moon is under way.


It was first visible in the southern United States, and is moving east. The best view of the total eclipse on land was visible from Gabon.


The total eclipse will then sweep east across the African continent. Partial views will be available in eastern North America and southern Europe.


Experts warn that no-one should attempt to view the Sun with the naked eye.


A safe view of eclipses can be obtained by using special welder’s glasses or a pinhole camera.



Halo

This solar eclipse is a rare occurrence in that it is “hybrid” – switching between an annular and total eclipse.


In a total eclipse, the Moon completely covers the sun, while an annular eclipse occurs when the Moon is at its farthest from the Earth and does not block out the Sun completely, leaving a halo of sunlight still visible around the Moon.


The eclipse event began about 1,000km (620 miles) east of Jacksonville, Florida with an annular eclipse visible for four seconds at sunrise.


As the Moon’s shadow raced east the eclipse switched from annular to total along a narrow corridor.


The greatest total eclipse occurred in the Atlantic Ocean, approximately 330km south-west of Liberia, and lasted for more than one minute.


On land, the best total eclipse was visible in Gabon, Nasa said.


“The eclipse will then continue across Africa through the Congos until it passes through northern Uganda and northern Kenya, ending in southern Ethiopia and Somalia,” said the International Astronomical Union.


Either side, a partial eclipse will be seen within a much broader path including eastern North America, northern South America, southern Europe, the Middle East and Africa.

Zoo"s Rare Tiger Drowns 3 Weeks After Birth

Zoo"s Rare Tiger Drowns 3 Weeks After Birth
http://thedailynewsreport.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/1ad6d__p-89EKCgBk8MZdE.gif


(Newser) – London zookeepers are using the word “distraught,” and understandably so: The city’s zoo has lost the first Sumatran tiger born there in 17 years; the three-week-old cub apparently drowned on Saturday morning. Keepers realized something was amiss after failing to locate the newborn using the cameras trained on the den; they searched the enclosure and found the animal, and a post-mortem exam yesterday confirmed the drowning.


The Independent notes that there aren’t cameras throughout the whole enclosure, so the keepers are unsure exactly how the cub got in the pool. But CNN reports that they think mom Melati may have carried the cub outside, where it may have somehow fallen in. The zoo had decided to give Melati full run of the enclosure because she’s a nervous tiger who they feared might react badly to any changes in her routine; but the Independent reports no one expected Melati to take the cub out so soon. The cub had not yet been named nor had its sex been revealed due to its young age.

Rare turtles smaller than 50p coin surprise staff at sea life centre



Rare turtles surprise staff at sea life centreTwo Roti Island Snake Necked Turtles were born in Birmingham this week (Picture: National Sea Life Centre/PA)

This turtle may be one of the rarest species in the world and it could also be one of the cutest too.


Keepers at the National Sea Life Centre in Birmingham received a shock last week when a pair of new arrivals were spotted swimming in a tank.


Staff had no idea their Roti Island Snake Necked Turtles had laid eggs before they made their unexpected debut.


‘The first we knew of it was when we came in one morning and found these two youngsters swimming around,’ explained curator Graham Burrows.


He believes the mother had hidden her eggs in the sand at the bottom of her tank before they hatched.

The species is one of the rarest in the world and the surprise appearance of the two turtles brings the total captive population to just 250 worldwide.


‘That’s more than the population left in the wild,’ Mr Burrows added.


‘The species is confined to a tiny area in the middle of a single small island, Rote Island, in Indonesia, and was hunted almost to extinction for the pet trade.


‘It has been protected since 2001, and with luck the population will recover.


‘If it doesn’t, captive reared animals like our two new arrivals could be used for reintroduction to give the species a vital last lifeline.’


The one-week-old turtles are now receiving special care and are being fed a diet of bloodworm and shrimp before they go on display to the public next week.

After Rare Protest, China Cancels Plans for Uranium Plant


HONG KONG — One day after a rare public protest, Chinese authorities said Saturday that they were abandoning plans to construct a uranium processing plant in southeastern China, where residents raised concerns about its safety and potential environmental impact.




The decision not to proceed with the plant in Guangdong Province, less than 60 miles from Hong Kong, came after hundreds of people turned out on Friday and “took a walk” through the city of Jiangmen carrying banners showing their opposition to the proposed plant, which would have been capable of processing half the fuel needed for China’s nuclear power needs. Unsanctioned gatherings are banned in China, but participants said the police did not intervene to stop the protest.


The Jiangmen City government Web site said Saturday the project had been “canceled,” and Southern Daily, the official newspaper of the Communist Party in Guangdong, said the decision was made “out of respect for public opinion.”


The protest in Jiangmen was the latest display of growing public disquiet about environmental hazards, which could frustrate China’s ambitious plans for nuclear power and technology. The catastrophic failures at nuclear power plants in Fukushima, Japan, in 2011, also kindled anxiety in China about its expansion of nuclear power.


That expansion is a major part of China’s plans to decrease reliance on coal, and the government has indicated that by 2020 it wants nuclear reactors to provide about 5 percent or more of the country’s power, up from about 2 percent now.


The government has also faced widespread public outcry over the air pollution enshrouding Beijing and many other major Chinese cities, forcing officials to begin instituting a series of measures to try to control emissions.


Word of the planned protest against the proposed Guangdong plant had spread rapidly in recent days on Chinese social media despite government attempts to censor the discussion on Sina Weibo, China’s version of Twitter. Opponents were also planning another protest for Sunday.
