Bulletin of the Department of Health of Canada: Please tell your family, family and friends

The upper respiratory infection that affects China today is quite serious. The virus that causes it is very potent and resistant to existing antibiotics.

(The virus is not a bacterial infection, therefore, it cannot be treated with antibiotics).

The prevention method now is to keep the throat moist, not let the throat dry. Therefore, do not contain thirst because once the throat membrane dries, the virus will invade your body in 10 minutes. Drink 50-80cc of warm water, 30-50cc for children, depending on age. Every time you feel your throat is dry, don’t wait, have water in your hand. Don’t drink much at once since it doesn’t help; instead, keep your throat moist. Until the end of March, do not go to crowded places, wear the mask as necessary, especially by train or public transport.

Avoid fried or spicy foods and load vitamin C.

The symptoms / description are:

1. Repeated high fever.
2. Prolonged cough after fever.
3. Children are more prone.
4. Adults generally feel uncomfortable, with a headache and mainly with respiratory diseases.

This disease is highly contagious. Let’s keep praying and wait for more news about the infection.

Please share

Established shortly after, as an effort to provide support from the U.S. to the Israeli hospital,
American Friends of Rabin Medical Center, is proud to celebrate 20 years of growth and
success on November 23rd as we host our 16th Annual Gala at Cipriani 42nd Street.
Charlie Rose returns as Master of Ceremonies for the 6
th year and will be joined by the
Honorable, Henry Kissinger in an exclusive on stage interview. Today’s headlines are an
appropriate reminder of the importance of Rabin’s efforts to bring peace to Israel. As we honor
the memory of Yitzhak Rabin, Kissinger, whom Rabin considered both a friend and role model,
will share his personal experience of their working together on this joint goal towards peace.
Prime Minister Rabin was respected by many, including honorary event chairs, Consul General
Ido Aharoni, Senator Richard Blumenthal, Governor Andrew Cuomo, Mayor Bill de Blasio, Tovah
Feldshuh, Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, Senator Charles Schumer, Professor Elie Wiesel, and
Mortimer Zuckerman. And he was truly admired by President William J. Clinton. With the
support of these and many others, what started as small gatherings and parlor meetings in DC,
AFRMC has emerged as an influencer of U.S. contributions to Israel, ensuring that Rabin
Medical Center remains at the top of the Medical Industry in the Middle East and worldwide.
In 20 years American Friends of Rabin Medical Center’s successes include:
 The expansion of the Davidoff Cancer Center, which is in plans to double its size by
2017
 The Annual Cheryl Diamond NYC 5K Schlep Run/Walk and Annual Quaker Ridge Golf
Outing that focuses to raise Breast, Ovarian and Prostate Cancer awareness and funds
for Rabin Medical Center, a leader in BRCA testing for both Men and Women.
 The 70 doctors that AFRMC has brought to study medicine throughout the U.S. as part
of the Rabin Medical exchange program.
 The medical advances in Israel, as Rabin Medical Center doctors participate in
developing new technologies
 Top Level Jusidman ER and Trauma Center that hosts one of only six level 1 Burn Units
in Israel thanks to the efforts from AFRMC.
This year we are pleased to honor New York Commercial Real Estate powerhouse, Jonathan
Mechanic of Fried, Frank. Mechanic is to be lauded by AFRMC Chairman, Peter Riguardi and
President Ron Cohen of JLL and gala co- chairs and titans of industry Stanley Chera, Crown
Acquisitions, Richard Chera, Crown Acquisitions, Richard Egosi, Teva Pharmaceuticals Ltd., Marc
Holliday, SL Green Realty Corp., Scott Rechler, RXR Realty, Stephen Siegel, CB Richard Ellis,
Robert Sorin, Fried, Frank and Rob Speyer, Tishman Speyer.

The Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce today announced that Hill Country Barbecue Market Brooklyn and Hill Country Chicken Brooklyn has become the 1600th member to join their fast growing organization.

“Thanks to all of our members and staff, and especially our Ambassador Committee, for helping us reach 1600,” said Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Carlo Scissura. “When we announced Park Asia in Sunset Park as our 1500th member in December we promised that 2014 would be even bigger and better- and we were right. We held our inaugural Brooklyn Economic Exchange series, led a record delegation to Albany to meet with lawmakers, and signed our 1,600th member, who is now an integral part of a food renaissance along Adams Street. I am proud to say we are already on our way to 1700.”

“This is a great achievement and milestone in the Brooklyn Chamber’s journey toward representing the whole borough and providing a strong voice for our businesses and communities,” said Brooklyn Chamber Board Chair Denise Arbesu. “We have achieved this goal through teamwork, a strong value proposition for our members and commitment to our Borough. I want to thank our great Board and dedicated staff.”

“I would like to thank the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce for welcoming us warmly not just to the organization, but also to our new neighborhood in Downtown Brooklyn,” said Hill Country Hospitality founder/CEO Marc Glosserman. “We are thrilled to be located in the heart of Brooklyn, and excited to be a part of the growth in this already thriving community.”

Honoring the barbecue and live music capital of Texas, and inspired by the grand old meat-markets-turned-barbecue-joints of Central Texas, Hill Country Barbecue Market takes its cue from legendary Lockhart, Texas barbecue establishment Kreuz Market and its distinctive, dry-rub style.  Under the direction of executive chef Elizabeth Karmel, Hill Country’s barbecue is served counter-style on butcher paper, weighed on a scale by the pound, with traditional trimmings of white bread, crackers, onions, and pickles.

Hill Country Chicken is a fresh version of the classic American fried chicken joint, specializing in fried chicken, fresh-cut fries and homemade pies. It is inspired by Glosserman’s childhood memories and passion for the home cooking of his mother and grandmothers. This nostalgia is reflected in the restaurant’s stylized décor, gracious hospitality, friendly counter-style service and executive chef Elizabeth Karmel’s cuisine.

The Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce is the foremost resource for doing business in Brooklyn, respected as a leader in advancing public policy, new technologies, products, services and programs that support and promote a vibrant local economy. Our mission is to promote a healthy and robust business environment throughout Brooklyn. The chamber is the foremost economic development leader for the Borough of Brooklyn.
