March 9th marks the observance of World Kidney Day, a global initiative dedicated to raising awareness about the crucial function our kidneys perform in maintaining our health.
I encourage everyone to take a moment to recognize the significance of these vital organs. 🌍💙🥄 #WorldKidneyDay #SpoonieStrong

I don't normally post personal stuff on here, but I'm a dialysis patient and have been waiting for a Transplant for 5 years now and tonight I got the call for a kidney and have to be at the hospital by midnight. So any positive vibes and thoughts and prayers you guys could send me I'd really appreciate it.

This is not for me, but for a friend in a community I'm a part of, and I can vouch for its veracity.
If you're able to contribute anything to help them and their mom, even just sharing the GoFundMe/reblogging this post, it'd be greatly appreciated!

Amara is spending the night at the vet 😥 She was laying on the warm tile floor this morning and hardly reacted when I pet her so she went straight to the vet. Blood work shows elevated kidney values and she's dehydrated. I can't think of anything she's gotten into (and she's not the type anyway) bit the why is less important than getting those kidney values down. So she's going on IV fluids and they'll check the blood work again tomorrow afternoon

“Tata Chemicals Europe today opened the UK’s first industrial scale carbon capture and usage plant today, signaling a key milestone in the race to meet the UK’s, and the world’s, net zero targets.
The plant captures 40,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide each year—the equivalent to taking over 20,000 cars off the roads, and ten-times more than what GNN reported to be the world’s largest carbon capture factory just 10 months [earlier, in late 2021].
The $24 million (£20 million) investment has been completed by UK-based Tata Chemicals Europe, one of Europe’s leading producers of sodium carbonate, salt and baking soda, and they expect it to lower their carbon emissions by more than 10%.
The project will help unlock the future of carbon capture as it demonstrates the viability of the technology to remove carbon dioxide from power plant emissions and to use it in high end manufacturing applications.
The party trick is that in a world first, carbon dioxide captured from energy generation emissions is being purified to food and pharmaceutical grade and used as a raw material in the manufacture of sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) which will be known as Ecokarb®. This unique and innovative process is patented in the UK with further patents pending in key territories around the world.
Ecokarb® will be exported to over 60 countries around the world. Much of the sodium bicarbonate exported will be used in hemodialysis to treat people living with kidney disease.
It will also be used to essential items like glass, washing detergents, pharmaceutical products, food, animal feed and in water purification.
The carbon capture plant, which was supported with a £4.2m grant through the UK Department of Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy’s (“BEIS”) Energy Innovation Program, marks a major step towards sustainable manufacturing which will see Tata make net zero sodium bicarbonate and one of the lowest carbon footprint sodium carbonate products in the world.” -via Good News Network, 7/8/22

As someone who lives in South-Africa myself, AND is of a low income, borderline poverty stricken household, with two elderly parents who have multiple health issues...I PERSONALLY know how absolutely ABOMINABLE the state health care is in this country. To even call it health "care" is an insult.
Nobody should have to live like this. It amounts to TORTURE. Life saving treatment - and medication and whatever else might be necessary for individuals - should be FREE...BUT, not the kind of "free" that is offered here. Dirty, disgusting facilities, with a lack of beds and equipment (they don't even have enough dialysis machines, as you can see for yourself in the campaign I'm sharing). There is NO dignity, no compassion, given at these places. I should know, as I have witnessed it myself countless times when my parents were sick. It's an utter disgrace. And yet NO-ONE talks about it. It just gets swept under the rug.
It amounts to murder, in my opinion. And not even that, but like I said, murder by slow torture. Families are RUINED by this.
So...that all said... PLEASE take the time to read April's story. And if you can, DONATE (the platform does offer PayPal as an option, for overseas donations). If you can't donate, SHARE SHARE SHARE!!!!
Again, no-one should have to live like this. Especially not a beautiful young woman with her whole life ahead of her, and two young sons.

This week's newsletter is about "Time". Whereas some people see the present "tense", this newsletter is positive ALL of the time.
Everywhere in Israel you can see the links between the Jewish people and its history.  Archaeology is regularly uncovered on the beach, or along the Biblical Highway connecting Beersheva, Hebron, Shiloh, Shechem and other places named in the Jewish Torah. Modern Israeli technology allows ancient languages to be translated, while new museums are built, featuring historical personalities such as Einstein or Jewish values, such as Tolerance. A new book describes the history of Zionism through 8 famous Jews. And history was made when Israel's Knesset speaker presented a nano-sized Koran (Quran) to his Moroccan counterpart in Morocco.
The Present is well represented in Medicine, where an Israeli bandage is healing wounds in over 30 countries and new synthetic eye tissue has been approved for the sight-impaired in the US. Other Israeli innovations are helping ADHD sufferers and weaning patients off ventilators, while a true-to-life mannequin simulator is being used to train medics.  Thanks to Israeli medical developments, the future will see worn-out kidneys being regenerated, the end of melanoma, and the curing of peanut allergies. 
With Israeli advanced technology, the future has already arrived. Another Israeli satellite was launched - to monitor the climate for key multinationals; Israeli quantum computing is being used to design aircraft engines; six Israeli companies were chosen by the World Economic Forum as Technology Pioneers, and an Arab Druze entrepreneur was given an Israeli award for his futuristic technology education program. Israeli technology was in high demand at the Paris Air Show; Intel are investing $25 billion in their new Israeli microprocessor factory; and there is so much more, so please read further.
The photo shows a section of the new mural on the wall of the arrivals hallway at Tel Aviv's Ben Gurion International airport. The full mural displays a beautiful pictorial view of Jewish history from 4,000 years ago, up to the present and our modern hi-tech Jewish State. It certainly gives us all hope for a bright future.
