Tahera Ahmad & the unopened Diet Coke

This is the story of Tahera Ahmad - a young Muslim woman who was humiliated while travelling on board of an American airline .
She was denied an unopened can of drink because she might use it as weapon while other passengers were allowed to have it with them .
Read the story in details bellow as it appeared on the social medias !
Very well done Tahera Ahmed ! Everyone should speak up when experiencing similar incidents for nobody can get away with racist attitude !

Was that slap an early sign of Alzheimer ?

Omar Sharif -the legendary actor- slapped a fan four years ago in Doha .Was that slap an early sign of Alzheimer ? The Egyptian actor's son claims his father got the disease but he is denying it
He is forgetting basic things from his life - he still believes his ex -wife , the great love of his life is still alive .
He is living in Egypt nowadays . How very tragic for a man who had been known for his excellent abilities in maths !

Advil paediatric suspension - mistake in the dosage instruction

 Advil
paediatric suspension - mistake in the dosage instruction


 the drug is safe to use but there was error in the dosage instruction  - so it is  not sold anymore

 my child had to take it two weeks ago - it was very strange as very little water had to be added
 and my child was crying after the first dosage that it was too much bitter and burning feeling 
 after ...

  the article does not mention what was the actual mistake or what to do in case our child got wrong
 dosage but it is written online " An ibuprofen overdose can damage your stomach or intestines. "

Four people died in Salwa road accident

  A truck and a mini van collided on Salwa road between
Messaid and Wakra . Four workers in the mini van died .



I guess this is  the road where trucks are going in great numbers ! Once accidently
we got there after a Sealine trip and I was praying  all the time for safe return !
The victims  were working for  Imco

Engineering & Contracting Company.



More details about the victims can be read here . God save us on the roads !

Food poisoning worldwide

  I found an interesting article  on Yahoo . It  is about food poisoning and tourism . They asked 2000 people in which country they expect to be sick / 
they were sick by the food they had .  In the answers there are only two Arab country listed  Egypt ( no wonder )  Morocco  .
I got seriously ill  in Egypt after having  a mozzarella salad  in a top hotel . I can not tell you the pain we had in our guts . I have never had before
 or luckily after  something similar .

 Qatari restaurants  are strictly inspected by local authorities  but  food poisonings happen here as well . The last one was in Marmara Istanbul restaurant  in 2014 October .
 People  needed hospital care and a pregnant mother lost her baby due to the strong contractions she had .

 Some weeks ago I read about prominent restaurants using expired materials !

 The best trick to avoid food poisoning or to minimize the effect is drinking something acidic with your meal . At least one of my friend told me that . After a Sunday
meal all the family got salmonella except for the husband who had some acidic drink  with the meal . All of them ate the same stuffed chicken in Hungarian style  which include eggs !
