Black Friday 2011 police brutality buckeye arizona

During last Black Friday Sale a grandpa put two(2) video games under his shirt in his waste band because his grandson got knocked down and hurt in the rush and he needed both of his hands to help his grandson.

A cop saw and immediately arrested him for shoplifting.

The man was cooperating while the cop was putting on the handcuffs.

Then another cop out of no where tripped the man and bashed his head nose first into the ground knocking him out and there is blood everywhere.

The cop did not know how to care for the man so someone that was there shopping had to help get blood out the mans airways.

This was disgusting! Cops should not be violent especially if the one being arrested was cooperative.

That's a blatant use of force! There is no need for him to act that way!

GMA TRANSFER TO A DETENTION FACILITY IS LOOMING

Gloria Macapagal Arroyo is medically fit and now capable of leaving the hospital.

CGMA'S Orthopedic Surgeon Dr. Mario Ver testified in Pasay RTC court that CGMA has lower back pain only.

Dr. Ver said conservative management on CGMA's lower back pain means bed rest, physical therapy. The said treatment may take weeks but can be treated as an out patient.

Earlier, the defense conceded that CGMA was already fit to go out of the hospital, then tried to blocked the testimony of the three doctors based on doctor-patient confidentiality.
 
Atty. Flaminiano of the defense stated that there's no point to hear the testimony of Arroyo's doctors anymore.

But since the RTC Judge wanted to really know the real medical status of CGMA.

The defense lawyers of CGMA moved to discuss CGMA's medical condition in private so as not to divulge Arroyo's medical records to the public.

Then the defense lawyers allowed only one doctor to testify among the three(3) doctors summoned by the court - Dr. Mario Ver.

COMELEC formally asked Pasay court to place Arroyo in detention facility.

Transfer of Rep. Gloria Arroyo in a detention facility almost sure according to Pasay RTC branch 112 clerk of court Joel Pelicano. But they still have to inspect the detention facilities maybe Monday next week. Because the court is also concerned with the security of Arroyo.

Meanwhile, Arroyo's legal spokesperson Raul Lambino said that there is a standing order of the court for provisional hospital arrest of Arroyo.

That order remains standing at this point.

They have until Tuesday to submit their motion.

Lambino said motion for Arroyo's house arrest will be formalized this Tuesday.

Arroyo feels she can recover faster if not confined in a hospital room. Doctors gave assurances she can continue recovery at home.

Weren't the spokespersons saying her illness was life threatening ten days ago? Pants on fire!

GMA'S IS FIT AND CAPABLE TO LEAVE HOSPITAL.

Opps I did it again, I am sorry lol!

Atty. Flaminiano CGMA'S lawyer says there is no point to hear the testimony of Arroyo's doctors anymore.

Atty. Flaminiano admitted in court that Congresswoman Gloria Macapagal- Arroyo is now capable of leaving the hospital. Discussions about her medical condition is moot.

Since defense conceded that CGMA is already fit to go out of the hospital,  they were trying to block the testimony of CGMA's doctors based on doctor-patient confidentiality agreement.

Rep Gloria Arroyo's lawyers refused to disclosed or discuss the contents of her medical records in public .

Arroyo's lawyers ask court for an "in chamber" meeting to divulge Arroyo's state of health, wants information confidential.

Comelec lawyer moved for Arroyo's transfer to a government hospital instead of the house arrest being demanded by CGMA's defense lawyer to establish the court's full control of her detention.

GMA's DOCTORS DILEMMA

 

FLASH NEWS: CGMA doctors are expected to attend court hearing in Pasay City RTC 112 today November 25, 2011. Media and security personnels are starting to fill-up the courtroom.

GMA's doctors at St. Luke's medical center are facing a dilemma to fake or not to fake GMA's actual medical status.

Judge Mupas will decide today whether CGMA stays in St Luke's or moved to police custody at Southern Police District.

Arroyo’s physicians at St. Luke’s Medical Center in Taguig City were torn between adhering to the doctor-patient privilege and disclosing the actual state of her health.

Doctors attending to former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo reportedly refused at one point to sign a medical certificate prepared by her lawyers.

One of the doctors even suggested that Arroyo be moved to another hospital, said a high government official who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitive nature of the case.

For God's sake GMA's room @ St. Luke Medical Center cost P 50,000 a day. Pwera pa ng medicines at doctor's fee. Ordinary Juan could not even get that kind of money in 6 months. Because of all the taxes and deductions on their salaries. Bakit mo naman pinapalipat dok? Sayang naman kikitain ninyo.

GMA is already fine. But the doctors are facing a dilemma on whether they can release this information because they are being prevented from doing so.

What else is new? People with so much money and used to have so much power always resort to lies so they can run away from justice. Lulusot at lulusot yan.

Pansinin mo naman, nagpapaawa si GMA, bakit di ka maawa?

Katulad ng ibang karamihan na mayaman na nga at lalo pang yumaman sa pulitika. Ano ang kaibahan niya?

Napag muni-muni ko dapat pala talaga kung magnanakaw ka aba'y damihan mo na para may pangbayad ka sa ospital para sayong "hospital arrest" kung sakaling mabalikan ka ng karma sa hinaharap. O di kaya ay may pamasahe ka papuntang ibang bansa para makakuha ka ng Political Assylum.

So ayan peeps antabayanan ang susunod na kabanata sa hindi matapos tapos na drama sa tunay na buhay ni CGMA.

Mag iiwan ako ng tanong, pwedeng pakisagot?

Kung ikaw ang doktor ni CGMA ano ang gagawin mo? 

PAALALA: PATNUBAY NG MAGULANG AY KAILANGAN.

10 Ways to Improve Memory

10 Ways to Improve Memory

1. Exercise Regularly. Studies shows that aerobic fitness may reduce the loss of brain tissue during aging.

2. Stick to a Healthy Diet. Avoid sugar and saturated fats. Eat lots of antioxidant-rich fruits and vegetables, such as spinach and beets. The magnesium in dark green, leafy vegetables appears to help maintain your memory.

3. Learn New Things. Mastering activities you’ve never done before, such as playing the piano or learning a foreign language, stimulates neuron activity.

4. Get Enough Sleep. Too little sleep impairs concentration.

5. Devise Memory Strategies. Make notes or underline key passages to help you remember what you’ve read. Invent your own mneumonics for remembering things.

6. Socialize. Conversation, especially positive, meaningful interaction, helps maintain brain function.

7. Get Organized. Designate a place for important items such as keys and checkbooks. Keep checklists for things such as daily medications or items to pack when you travel.

8. Turn Off the Box. Experts say too much TV watching weakens your brainpower.

9. Jot Down New Information. Writing helps transfer items from short to long term memory.

10. Solve Brainteasers. Crossword puzzles, card games, and board games such as Scrabble improve your memory.

This article can help you maximize the health effect by following the method of treatment. 

One disadvantage is  frequent urination. 

To keep you reminded put a note in your refrigerator door.

DRINK WATER ON EMPTY STOMACH

It is popular in Japan today to drink water immediately after waking up every morning. Furthermore, scientific tests have proven its value. We publish below a description of use of water for our readers. 

For old and serious diseases as well as modern illnesses the water treatment had been found successful by a Japanese medical society as a 100% cure for the following diseases:

Headache, body ache, heart system, arthritis, fast heart beat, epilepsy, excess fatness, bronchitis asthma, TB, meningitis, kidney and urine diseases, vomiting, gastritis, diarrhea, piles, diabetes, constipation, all eye diseases, womb, cancer and menstrual disorders, ear nose and throat diseases.

METHOD OF TREATMENT
1. As you wake up in the morning before brushing your teeth, drink 4 x 160ml glasses of water.

 
2. Brush and clean the mouth but do not eat or drink anything for 45 minutes.

3. After 45 minutes you may eat and drink as normal.

4. After 15 minutes of breakfast, lunch and dinner do not eat or drink anything for 2 hours.

5. Those who are old or sick and are unable to drink 4 glasses of water at the beginning may commence by taking little water and gradually increase it to 4 glasses per day.

6. The above method of treatment will cure diseases of the sick and others can enjoy a healthy life.

The following list gives the number of days of treatment required to cure/control/reduce main diseases:

1. High Blood Pressure (30 days)
2. Gastric (10 days)
3. Diabetes (30 days)
4. Constipation (10 days)
5. Cancer (180 days)
6. TB (90 days)
7. Arthritis patients should follow the above treatment only for 3 days in the 1st week, and from 2nd week onwards – daily.

This treatment method has no side effects, however at the commencement of treatment you may have to urinate a few times.

It is better if we continue this and make this procedure as a routine work in our life. Drink Water and Stay healthy and Active.

This makes sense.  The Chinese and Japanese drink hot tea with their meals not cold water. Maybe it is time we adopt their drinking habit while eating!!! 

Nothing to lose, everything to gain…

For those who like to drink cold water, this article is applicable to you.

It is nice to have a cup of cold drink after a meal. However, the cold water will solidify the oily stuff that you have just consumed. It will slow down the digestion.

Once this ‘sludge’ reacts with the acid, it will break down and be absorbed by the intestine faster than the solid food. It will line the intestine.

Very soon, this will turn into fats and lead to cancer. It is best to drink hot soup or warm water after a meal.

A serious note about heart attacks:

· Women should know that not every heart attack symptom is going to be the left arm hurting.

· Be aware of intense pain in the jaw line.

· You may never have the first chest pain during the course of a heart attack.

· Nausea and intense sweating are also common symptoms.

· 60% of people who have a heart attack while they are asleep do not wake up.

· Pain in the jaw can wake you from a sound sleep. Let’s be careful and be aware. The more we know, the better chance we could survive.

A cardiologist says if everyone who gets this mail sends it to everyone they know, you can be sure that we’ll save at least one life.

Please be a true friend and share this article to all your friends you care about.
