Reasoning Theorems of Success

Drospirenone is just one of the causes ascribed to the barrage of Yaz side effects reported regularly in America. Drospirenone is an ingredient allegedly unlike other progestins in the United States and was not utilized in America before showed up in Yasmin, Yaz and Ocella. Also consider that the FDA released advisory to the makers of Ocella, Yasmin and Yaz for using low-quality batches of drospirenone from Germany and you have the makings of a cautionary tale involving Big Pharma and its disregard for the wellbeing of the individuals taking its pills.

Among the recent contestations impending on Yasmin, Yaz and Ocella birth control, the pills also contain drospirenone, an ingredient not in other oral contraceptives. The British Medical Journal issued studies in August 2009 exhibiting a higher risk of venous blood clots in adult females taking drospirenone as opposed to those who received other oral contraceptives. In that same month, the Food & Drug Administration issued an non-related advisory to Bayer Pharmaceuticals, makers of Yaz, for using low-quality batches of drospirenone from a plant in Germany. For the benefit of public interest and wellbeing, these articles have been made available free on the internet.

It is fundamental that women become their own advocates and take charge of the decisions being made about their health and their bodies. As a whole, the American public relies too heavily on doctors and medications to give them answers in a bottle. In the internet age, it is up to you to do your own research and remain informed. Drug recalls and corporate lawsuits have become all too commonplace in the United States. At some point, individuals have to stop looking to the government and big business to have their welfare in mind. It is time for the public to ultimately take the first step and not be so quick to swallow anything handed to them in pill form.

Terrorism is the use of force against innocent people to inflict fear upon them and to influence public policy. This is one of the definitions of terrorism used by ItsTheRightWay.com.
If we apply this definition to the rioters who acted violently and with brute force the past couple of weeks, then we can conclude that the Paris rioters are terrorists and not rioters.

Call these perpetrators of violence what you want. The media can call them rioters but I prefer to call the criminals (who were predominantly Muslim) who burned Paris businesses and damaged property.

This may sound harsh to you but the people who inflicted hate and violence on the people of Paris are definitely criminals and terrorists. These criminals have spent the greater part of the last two weeks burning and destroying city businesses and property.

The terrorists claim that the French government is racist because they can’t find decent paying jobs.
What do these criminals want? The French government is already providing immigrants with social welfare assistance that many experts are calling some of the best in Europe.

How do these terrorists repay the generosity of the French government? They pillage the city of Paris.
I’m not a big fan of French policy and I’ve been a critic of their extreme socialism. To call their generosity towards African and Arab immigrants racist is ludicrous.

I believe that these terrorists will never be happy. They want to intimidate the French government and exert their will on the French public.
These criminals must be stopped. The French government must stop negotiating with these bandits.

I believe in a zero tolerance program when it comes to dealing with terrorists.
If the French would deal with these rioters as terrorists, then they would stop negotiating with that group.

The French government may feel handicapped to adequately deal with the rioters. Muslims make up roughly 7,000,000 people of the nearly 60 million inhabitants of France. Muslims have political clout and the French government may fear retribution by Muslims if they come across as being too tough.

The government needs to send a clear message that they will not tolerate the behavior demonstrated by the rioters.
If riots start again, then the government must use all the military force available to squelch the rioting.

Once the terrorists realize that their illegal actions aren’t tolerated, they may be more inclined to utilize legal channels to get their message across to the French public.

I personally don’t agree with the rioter’s message, which I believe is for them to receive more government handouts and assistance.
Hopefully the French public will demand an end to the horrible actions by the rioters.
It’s time for the French people to stand up against terrorism, no matter what group is behind it.

This is the beginning of the end for the man who would be king. Mr. Elliot Spitzer loses big time and blows chunks. Elliot Spitzer’s reputation is wiped out with a single case. One of his most celebrated cases in fact, as a Manhattan jury acquitted Bank of America’s Ted Sihpol on 29 of 33 counts over the charges of grand larceny and fraud. He was accused of helping a hedge fund trade Mutual Fund shares after hours (4PM). The remaining accounts became a deadlock jury. He walks scott free since he committed no crimes.

It sure appears that Elliot Spitzer’s days are numbered and that he made up the whole case to further his political interests to become Governor of New York. Some say Elliot Spitzer is the sleaze from hell and he is as crooked and corrupt as they come. Others agree and a few just do not have the cranial capacity to hold that opinion. Such abuse of power has elevated him to infamous status. The often labeled arrogant, self important, meglomanic gone bureaucratically ballistic man will probably be headed for a sharp fall now that everyone knows the truth, that his cases are simply bogus.

In the New York Post the headline reads “DEMS HOPE BIG SETBACK IS FORGOTTEN BY ELECTION DAY” By FREDRIC U. DICKER State Editor Albany. Fredric the top New York Editor goes on to say;

“Attorney General Eliot Spitzer’s reputation as the Sheriff of Wall Street suffered its first major blow yesterday, but just how serious the damage will be to the highly ambitious Democratic gubernatorial hopeful remains to be seen.”

Elliot Spitzer seems to be continuing his fishing expedition, going after big names and huge companies. Apparently he does not care if the charges are relevant only that his name is in the headlines everyday. Many on Wall Street are glad to see the tyrant dictator “Chairman Kim Jong Il” type get a reality check. Others compare what he has done to free enterprise to that of the 9-11 attacks of Osama Bin Laden. After all his two biggest cases have “American” in their names. Elliot Spitzer has single handedly done more to hurt America’s competitiveness in World Markets than the trade deficit with China

Many junior regulators who file bogus cases and emulate him will have their little feelings hurt now, but they know that the courts will no longer put up with sort BS. This is a good day for America to right the wrongs of one Elliot Spitzer as we reign in the regulatory abuses of power.

Mesothelioma is a infrequent cancer of the tissue that lines the person’s interior organs. Nearly two thousand brand new instances are recognized every year in the whole US. Of these, aboutthree out of four of instances affect the sac that protects the lungs, named the pleura. This type of cancer is called pleural mesothelioma. In around 10 to twenty percent of instances, mesothelioma could affect the tissue that surrounds visceral organs, referred to as the peritoneal membrane, resulting in what is then referred to as peritoneal mesothelioma.

Exposure to asbestos is positively the main influencing factor for this uncommon aliment. After exposure to asbestos, the delay to development of the mesothelioma disease could be two to four decades. Because of work related introduction, malignant mesothelioma is almost 3 times more regular in males, than in females. Because the mass of occurrences moves upward with your age, there are around 10 times more cases in the males over age 64 than in the males in their 30s.

Developing Mesothelioma is a severe disease, that, at the moment, has a very poor percentage of lasting survival. Nonetheless, if it is pinpointed quickly, treatments are then in existence that will notably stretch the patient’s life. Advanced approaches continue to be and are being developed through clinical trials.

I have had many confidence issues in my life, all of which I have either dealt with or overcome. I have written about some of these issues below.

1. The Bald Patch

2. My height

3. My weight

4. The stutter

5. My lack of belief in myself

6. My career

THE BALD PATCH

Even though to some people it may seem trivial, I was born with a bald patch the size of a ten pence piece. As I went through childhood and especially the teenage years I became more and more self-conscious and paranoid about it.

It was especially noticeable when it rained or when I went swimming as my hair would become wet. People at school would ridicule me and I was forever trying to hide and cover the bald patch even though most people knew about it.

It hurt when people laughed at me and eventually I stopped going swimming altogether.

MY HEIGHT

Out of all of my close male family and friends, I am the shortest at 5ft 4. This probably should not influence my confidence however with people continually looking down on me it did. I have been called many names, the nicest being “Shorty”.

I was always jealous of other people taller than I was. I hoped that one day I might have a late spurt. This never came.

My height affected me with sport. I wanted to be a striker at football however the coaches only wanted people over 6ft tall. At snooker I am constantly have to use the rest which makes it difficult to play up to the best standard and at tennis I was constantly being lobbed.
It also meant that I only felt comfortable dating women 5ft 3 and under which reduces the available market considerably.

MY WEIGHT

During senior school I was very thin. This may have been the result of my parents turning vegetarian when I was twelve. At the time there were very few replacement foods and it seemed as though we went from having meat and two veg to just two veg.

As my parents cooked the food I had little option but to also turn vegetarian. After a few weeks I approached them and told them that I missed and wanted to eat meat. They were understanding to a degree and said:

“If you want it, you cook it”

At this age I could only really be bothered to cook properly a few days of the week and that gradually became less and less.

People at school would call me names like skin and bone and my weight became another area of paranoia for me.

THE STUTTER

At the age of four I developed a stutter. This became gradually worse as I became older even though my parents were told that I would grow out of it.

For what fluent people would class as simple tasks like reading from a book at school, answering questions, saying my name and address, ordering items at the bar or in a restaurant, and speaking on the telephone became a constant battle.

It was a very frustrating impediment, as I seemed to be able to talk quite fluently to people I knew well and whom I felt comfortable with, but at other times especially under any form of pressure could not say a word.

At the age of twenty two after about eleven months of sheer hard work and practice I managed to overcome the stutter and I now help other people who stutter to achieve fluency as well as helping people with confidence problems.

For more information about how I overcame the stutter please refer to http://www.stammering-stuttering.co.uk or contact me for an information pack.

MY LACK OF BELIEF

I always had a lack of belief in certain areas.

I would notice a female in a bar for example and would want to go over and talk to her but would have the negative attitude of I’m not good enough, why would she be interested in me? I stutter, I have a bald patch, I have a menial job and I am very thin.

Even if I approach her and am successful, I would then be expected to buy her a drink, possibly phone her, possibly meet her parents, and maybe even get married! The thought of attempting these things with a stutter and with a lack of social confidence was far too daunting for me.

I left school at sixteen mainly due to a lack of confidence and the stutter, but then had the problem of finding a job. Again my lack of belief came shining through. Who would want to employ somebody with a stutter, who has a lack of confidence and who is shy around people?

MY CAREER

After leaving school at the age of sixteen I now had to find employment. Suffering with a stutter and a general lack of confidence meant that work involving the phone or regular interaction with other people were not really an option.

I decided that I could probably cope with filing duties in an office and eventually gained a position at an insurance company.

I started at the lowest grade, a grade two and the work was routine and mundane. The average time to stay at this level before being promoted was six months. The grade three post involved sharing a phone and this is something I found very difficult to use.

To become upgraded you had to apply in writing to the personal officer and then if you passed the interview were then promoted. My attitude was that if I don’t apply I would stay as a grade two, which is what I wanted. I was probably the only person in the country who did not want to be promoted.

My boss would ask me at regular intervals why I was not applying and I would make up an excuse. To keep him happy I took the insurance exams.
After three years I had completed the first qualification which was a set of five exams. To my horror my boss congratulated me by stating that he was upgrading me to a grade three starting Monday without the need of an interview.

This promotion should in effect have given me a confidence boost however with my stutter out of control under the pressure and some of my colleagues mocking me I became more and more withdrawn and depressed.

I would be invited to social events and would make up excuses of why I could not go as I had a lack of belief that I could cope with the occasion and all the socialising involved.
