BUSINESSES in Ennis and Kilrush will be hit by a hike in the commercial rate for the third consecutive year, after a majority of Clare county councillors supported the council's controversial policy of rates harmonisation. Despite opposition from Ennis councillors and Kilrush Councillor Ian Lynch, rates harmonisation was supported by 17 votes to eight. Councillors also voted to approve the 2018 Budget Estimates by 17 votes to eight, after a two and a half hour meeting. Councillor Pat Hayes proposed the adoption of the estimates and this was seconded by Councillor Joe Cooney. According to the council, the latest increase amounts to 2.66% in Ennis in the annual rateable value and 3.94% in Kilrush. Chief executive officer Pat Dowling outlined that the Local Government Reform Act 2014 set out a process whereby the differences in rates multipliers between the former towns and the former county area have to be eliminated over time. This process commenced in 2016. At the same …Read More »

'devastated' at axing of Shannon-Chicago route
Following news that United Airlines is to cease its seasonal transatlantic service from Shannon to Chicago from next year, Mary Gleeson, general manager of the Old Ground Hotel in Ennis, has urged Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport Shane Ross and Taoiseach Leo Varadkar to do all in their power to reinstate the key route. "After five years of promoting the Chicago-Shannon route to all our contacts, we are devastated to hear that United Airlines appear to be walking away from it. "We understand that the summer period was very successful for these flights and every time I met a client who had travelled on it, I was told that the flight was full or close to it. So I find the claim that the route is no longer financially viable hard to believe. "Surely the loss of this valuable route, in terms of regional development, particularly with the success of the Wild Atlantic Way, warrants the intervention of the …Read More »
man treated after Ennis house fire
One man was taken to University Hospital Limerick (UHL) as a precaution following a house fire in Ennis on Sunday . Emergency services were called to the scene after 6pm on Sunday when a fire was reported at a house on the Tulla Road near the entrance to the Castlerock Housing Estate. Two units of the fire brigade, an ambulance and gardaí responded to the incident, arriving within minutes. When firemen arrived they found the house was smoke logged. Firefighters wearing breathing apparatus entered the house to check there was no one inside. They quickly located a fire in the kitchen area and brought it under control. It is understood the fire originated in the kitchen in the vicinity of the cooker. Firemen also vented the house by opening all the windows and by using positive pressure ventilated fans. This process involves using large petrol driven fans to blow fresh air into the dwelling and to get rid of any smoke. No major external damage was caused to the outside of the building. One man was treated at the scene by National Ambulance Service paramedics and was later taken to University Hospital Limerick (UHL) as a precaution. The Clare Fire and Rescue Service has categorised the incident as a relatively minor fire as there was no significant injuries or damage. Dan DanaherRead More »
Ennis dental surgery shuts after incident
The Mid-West HSE has been forced to cease dental surgeries in Ennis following an incident in the local clinic. HSE Mid-West Community Healthcare is currently in contact with the parents of up to 43 children to establish if they were affected by an apparent problem at the HSE Dental Clinic in Bindon Street, Ennis.

Houston — The attorney for a janitorial company that won a multimillion-dollar defamation verdict against the Service Employees International Union of Texas said that the national SEIU organization could face a racketeering suit based on their actions, liking the union to "the mob."
"We think the national union here is Geppetto, if you will. They are the ones pulling all the strings," attorney John Zavitsanos said. "One of the things I think would be an interesting thing to look at is the potential for some kind of racketeering charge against them because this isn't a couple of bad apples that are doing this."
Zavitsanos is the attorney for Houston-based Professional Janitorial Service. PJS successfully sued SEIU Texas, alleging that the SEIU's intrusive and threatening "Justice for Janitors" campaign went too far and and that the union wrongly claimed the firm had violated labor laws concerning wages and overtime. The union now owes PJS $7.8 million.
SEIU Texas filed for bankruptcy in December, saying it couldn't afford to pay — something that Zavitsanos said is a red herring.
"The international has tons of money. They donate tens of millions of dollars every year to political causes and candidates," Zavitsanos said. "We have a situation where they tried to extinguish a business. They can absolutely absorb this… but they're fighting us tooth and nail."
The SEIU represents nearly 2 million government workers, healthcare employees and janitors. It boasts an annual budget of $300 million, making it the nation's second-largest union and certainly one of the most powerful.
But it's unclear if the SEIU will have the same war chest this year.
The SEIU is planning for a 30 percent budget cut over the next year, according to a report published by Bloomberg Businessweek in late December.
Zavitsanos said the national SEIU didn't just use questionable tactics in Houston. They've been doing it all over the country, he said.
"This is, in fact, the playbook that they run as mandated — not just authorized — but mandated by the national office where they tell their people you need to evaluate if we should follow the law; you need to try to take away customers from respectable businesses; you need to make them hurt economically," he said.
Hence, he said he believes the national SEIU may face RICO charges or a civil RICO lawsuit.
RICO is the acronym for the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organization Act, a law aimed at organized crime that can be used to prosecute leaders within a criminal enterprise who direct underlings to carry out the dirty work.
The Washington D.C.-based national SEIU did not respond to an email or a phone call seeking comment.
Zavitsanos said he has fielded queries from other businesses.
"I have received a number of calls after our case from other business owners across the country where they are experiencing the same type of shakedown that they were trying to engage in here in Houston, and I don't know what's going to come of that, but I'd be a little concerned if I were them," he said.
SEIU organizations have faced RICO suits before, although not all have been successful.
In response to a long-running national campaign by the SEIU to organize workers at the food-service multinational Sodexo — which provides restaurants for company staff, catering, executive dining, and vending machines — company brass sued the union under the RICO statute. The lawsuit was settled in September 2011, and the SEIU ended its campaign against the firm.
New Jersey-based HealthBridge Management, which manages nursing homes, sued the SEIU under the RICO act. HealthBridge lost several court battles and in 2015 sold its unionized nursing homes.
Prime Healthcare Services, the owner of several Southern California hospitals, sued the SEIU under RICO with Prime arguing that the union was extorting the company in an effort to unionize workers at its hospitals. That suit was dismissed in April 2015.
But certainly there are cases where firms can take on people they believe have wronged them using the RICO statute — and win.
Indeed, it happened in Houston less than six months ago.
In November, former long-time Houston Independent School District Trustee Larry Marshall and several conspirators were found liable in federal court for participating in a criminal enterprise under the RICO Act.
Marshall and his cohorts were sued under RICO by a construction firm, the Gil Ramirez Group.
In addition to exposing a cozy pay-to-play culture within HISD, a jury awarded $5 million in damages to the Gil Ramirez Group, which claimed it did not get business with HISD because the company's president, Gil Ramirez, did not pay bribes to Marshall.

text: The terms "commodities" and "futures" are often used to describe commodity trading or futures trading. You can think of them as generic terms to describe the markets. It is similar to the way "stocks" and "equities" are used when investors talk about the stock market. To be more specific, this is what they really mean: Commodities are the actual physical goods like corn, soybeans, gold, crude oil, etc. Futures are contracts of commodities that are traded at a futures exchange like MCX (Multi Commodities Exchange). Futures contracts have expanded beyond just commodities; now there are futures contracts on financial markets like the S&P 500, t-notes, currencies and many others.

WHITESTOWN, Ind. – More than two years have passed since Southport Lt. Aaron Allan died in the line of duty.
One of the lasting memories of the story was a photo of Allan walking his son, Aaron Jr., to his bus stop just hours before his death.
On Wednesday, "Little Aaron" went to Traders Point Christian Academy for his first day of school.
Photos shared by the Southport Police Department show him walking with his mother in a photo reminiscent of the one from two years ago.
The little boy also got a police escort for his first day of school. He hugged officers and stopped for a group photo before heading to class:
Today, Little Aaron (son of Lt. Aaron Allan) was escorted to his first day of school at the Traders Point Christian Academy by his mother, Stacy as well as members of the Southport Police Department and family friend, Sgt. Chris Berry of the MCSO.
Good luck Aaron in school Aaron! We're proud of you!

While the "venerable national network" of Blue Cross andThis is part of the California Healthline Daily Edition, a summary of health policy coverage from major news organizations. Sign up for an email subscription.
Blue Shield health insurers have "existed as altruistic, tax-
exempt social welfare organizations ... for most of their 60
years" in business, at least 16 Blues are "now contemplating or
undergoing" for-profit conversions. According to U.S. NEWS &
WORLD REPORT, the controversy surrounding the sale of Ohio Blue
Cross/Blue Shield to for-profit hospital titan Columbia/HCA
Healthcare Corp. is part of "a much wider battle" over who
"should benefit from" the Blues' combined $75 billion in assets.
The Blues are turning for-profit in response to a "competitive
marketplace" and a "debate is raging" over whether management,
shareholders, directors, policyholders or the public has rights
to the assets.
NEED MARKET FREEDOM: U.S. NEWS notes that while the Blues
were "[s]low at first to respond to the challenge of managed
care, many Blues are now embracing it with a vengeance." The
shift to for-profit status began in 1994 when the national Blue
Cross and Blue Shield Association stopped restricting membership
to nonprofit companies. U.S. NEWS reports that the move was "a
reaction to the Blues' steep loss of market share to fast-
growing, for-profit HMOs;" enrollment in Blues plans has fallen
from 87 million in 1980 to 66 million this year.
THE FOUNDATIONS: While most states require Blues that
convert to for-profit to contribute the value of their assets to
a charitable foundation, the size and scope of the insurers'
responsibility is subject to "a messy process in which political
lobbying, pressure from consumer groups and the leanings of
public officials determine the outcome state by state." Blue
Cross of California was required to establish two health care
foundations with stock and cash totaling more than $3 billion.
However, Blue Cross/Blue Shield of Georgia was not required to
establish a foundation and its stock sales have been questioned
for conflicts-of-interest. It is "still uncertain" whether Blues
in Ohio, New Jersey, Connecticut and Missouri, where for-profit
"deals have gone through or been proposed," will have to
establish foundations. Noting that the for-profit conversion of
Empire Blue Cross/Blue Shield would "put 100% of its worth into a
new foundation," U.S. NEWS reports, "For the moment, the forces
that want to keep the Blues' wealth working for charity seem to
have the advantage" (Sherrid, 11/4 issue).

We are staying in rented house since 2 years. My owner(Mr. Kasiraj) is harassing for small small things like why your parents are coming, why you are using this much of water, not giving PAN card as per income tax rules if the rent is more than a 8300, we mandatory to submit the Owner PAN Card along with rent receipts. we are forced to give rent in cash from April 2015, I doubt he is not paying tax. Every time he use to discuss things in absence of my husband for every little or big damage in house we use to repair and no refund or not deduction from rent. when we took house even it was not fully maintained .it was in pathetic condition. All the times false commitment we are getting from house owner that he will do the repair work but this has never happened. Still we are forced to pau full rent.

He is threatening us with name of police.
Why the owner didn't inform how much amount they increased rent every year ? It was a big shock for us.
Why owner us to pay rent in cash ?

Tanzania Cultural Heritage Sites
Kondoa Rock Art
Better known for its legendary wilderness areas Tanzania nonetheless provides a rich cultural and historical aspect. Ruins from the days of trading and slavery, and a history of colonialism, show not only Tanzania history, but the history of Africa in vibrant detail. Aside from the Ngorongoro Conservation Area with its features of our earliest ancestors Tanzania has three other Cultural Heritage Sites.
Ruins of Kilwa Kisiwani and Songo Mnara - Date of inscription 1981
Ruins of Kilwa Kisiwani and Songo Mnara
are the remains of two ports situated on the coast of East Africa. They held an important position in East African trade and their influence stretched into Zimbabwe, Mozambique and as far as Asia. From the 13th to the 16th century, the merchants of Kilwa dealt in gold, iron, ivory, silver, pearls, perfumes, Arabian crockery, Persian earthenware and Chinese porcelain and hence most of the trade in the Indian Ocean thus passed through their hands.
The ruins on the two islands were declared
World Heritage Sites
due to their archaeological significance in understanding the origins of the Swahili culture, the influence of Islam on the African east coast, and commercial practice in the medieval and modern eras. The Kilwa ruins show evidence of one great mosque and many smaller ones, an Arabian palace, and a large urban complex. Songo Mnara has only five mosques and a few domestic dwellings. Ornaments, cowrie shells and pearls of glass and quartz have also been discovered at the sites.
Archaeologists and historians
consider Kilwa and Songo Mnara one of the most important sites of Swahili civilization in the region.
Stone Town - Date of inscription 2000
Stone Town is the
old part of Zanzibar City
and its Swahili architecture incorporates elements of Arab, Persian, Indian, European and African styles. The town was named for the coral stone buildings that were built there during the 19th century, on the site of a very old fishing village.
Stone Town was the
centre of trade on the East African coast
between Asia and Africa before the colonization of the mainland in the late 1800s. For many years Stone Town was a major centre for the slave trade; Slaves were obtained from mainland Africa and traded with the Middle East. The Anglican Cathedral is built on the site of a former slave market and some holding cells still exist at this site.
Today there are 51 mosques, six Hindu Temples and a Catholic and Anglican Cathedral in this
multi-ethnic town
. There are many burial places around the outskirts of town, with interesting headstones and graves, and some important graves in the town itself, usually of religious leaders.
Kondoa - Date of inscription 2006
On the eastern slopes of the Masai escarpment bordering the Great Rift Valley are
natural rock shelters
whose vertical planes have been used for rock paintings over several millennia. The Kondoa Rock Art Sites include over 150 natural caves/shelters and the spectacular rock paintings have high artistic quality and were made with a brush-like instrument.
rock art sites at Kondoa
are an exceptional record to the lives of hunter-gathers and agriculturalists that have lived in the area and reflect a unique variation of hunter-gather art from southern and central Africa. Some of the rock art sites are still used by the local communities for a variety of ritual activities such as rainmaking, divining and healing.

Amid the darkness surrounding the fate of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, and with tremendous support and prayers it receives everywhere around the world, particularly on social media websites like Twitter with hashtag #prayforMH370, an unknown eBay seller attempts to monetize its popularity by setting up a website, and bidding it for his or her own profit.
Channeling online traffic flows using a specific tag towards your own website to gain more money? To any person making use of the trick, you are brilliant, but unfortunately, you are completely absent of your humane feelings. I don't know what the underlying motives are for this person, but just, sense of humanity becomes a very lackadaisical by-product here.

This is what the eBay seller offers, anyway. Nevertheless, if you try to click MH370.com right now, it looks like the website has been taken down.

Ervin, Susan M.University of California, Berkeley
SUSAN M. ERVIN is an Assistant Professor at the Speech Department and Center for Human Learning at the University of California, Berkeley.
The most important contribution that modem linguistics has brought to child language studies is its conception of what a language is. A language is a system that can be described internally in terms of two primary parts or levels�the phonological (sound system) and the grammatical. A complete description of a language would include an account of all possible phonological sequences and also a set of rules by which we can predict all the possible sentences in that language.

Mark Zuckerberg Promises to Fix Facebook in 2018
Every year, Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg takes on a personal challenge. Previous examples include learning Mandarin You Can Now Learn Chinese Using Duolingo With more than 1 billion speakers, Mandarin Chinese is the most-spoken language in the world, so it would probably serve us all well to learn a few words and phrases. Read More , reading more books, and meeting people in all 50 of the United States of America. And for 2018, Mark Zuckerberg has promised to fix Facebook.
Mark Zuckerberg has, for better or worse, become the public face of the internet. Partly because Facebook is so ubiquitous, and partly because he seems to enjoy spending time in the public eye. Unfortunately, Facebook didn't have the best 2017, so for 2018 Zuckerberg is focusing on work.
Mark Zuckerberg Wants to Fix Facebook
Zuckerberg outlines his ambition in a Facebook post, stating that he wants to fix the "important issues". Which means "protecting our community from abuse and hate, defending against interference by nation states, or making sure that time spent on Facebook is time well spent."
The Facebook CEO isn't promising to fix everything overnight, admitting, "We won't prevent all mistakes or abuse, but we currently make too many errors enforcing our policies and preventing misuse of our tools. If we're successful this year then we'll end 2018 on a much better trajectory."
Every year I take on a personal challenge to learn something new. I've visited every US state, run 365 miles, built an…
Posted by Mark Zuckerberg on Thursday, January 4, 2018
Zuckerberg ends the post by pitching "centralization vs decentralization". He cites "encryption and cryptocurrency" as two specific ways in which power is being taken from "centralized systems and put it back into people's hands". Which probably means the Zuckercoin will soon be a thing.
As others have pointed out, fixing Facebook and the various issues it's facing, is literally Mark Zuckerberg's job. Sure, he's entitled to swan around the country spreading his gospel to anyone who will listen, but being the CEO of Facebook, and all that entails, should be his priority.
Facebook Is Seen as Old and Crusty
Despite its formidable size and power, Facebook is facing some tough challenges. There's the proliferation of fake news and political influence by foreign powers, as already mentioned. But there's also the fact that Facebook is seen as outdated compared to Snapchat and Instagram Teenagers' Favorite Social Network Is... Snapchat Snapchat is now the preferred social network amongst teenagers. Snapchat is comfortably ahead of former most popular kid on the block, Instagram, while Facebook and Twitter are a long way behind. Read More .
What do you think of Mark Zuckerberg's personal challenge for 2018? Is this just him promising to actually do his job? Or is he right to make fixing Facebook his number one priority? What's the first thing you would do to fix Facebook? Please let us know in the comments below!

5 Smart Home Tricks to Simplify the Back-to-School Transition
August 31 2017
Getting into the school year routine can be tough for everyone. Earlier bedtimes, homework, sports practice – so many adjustments at once.
No need to face the transition alone with these 5 smart home tricks guaranteed to simplify the process.
- Wake up call: Begin the day with lights turning on by schedule. You could start the automation by illuminating a dimly lit bedside lamp and then progressing to the brighter overhead light, or maybe jump to the bold and bright for those who are tougher to wake up. Set the bathroom light to come on at a time when the kids should be heading to brush teeth.
Add these to your system: There are many smart lighting options including the Linear LED light bulb, GE Wireless In-Wall Light Control Dimmer and the Dimmer Module for controlling lamps.
- Getting out the door: Keep everyone on task with notifications sent to their mobile devices. "Grab dance clothes" may pop up on Mondays and Thursdays while "Take out the Trash" notifications appear every Wednesday.
Create this automation: Select "When this happens" – Schedule event: Recurring event: Choose day and time. Then select, "Do This" – Send an alert: Enter your task. Use the Nexia Web portal, mynexia.com, to be sure your intended recipient is set to receive the alert.
- Home alone: Your student may be old enough to spend the after school hours at home alone, but it's always nice to know when they've arrived and are secure inside. A connected door lock sends you a message when a select door code is entered and also can lock itself after a set period of time.
Add this to your system: The Schlage Touchpad Deadbolt Lock allows each family member to have a unique door code and lets you change it should your child decide to share it with others.
- Homework Focus: Indoor and outdoor cameras record the action when you can't be at home. See which of your children's friends pop by, whether the focus is on homework or video games, and if the backpack made it home or was lost along the way.
Add these to your system: Strategically position Nexia HD WiFi Indoor and Outdoor cameras and determine what triggers to set for recording – motion, door unlocking or other actions.
- Lights out: Turn off television, lights, video games and other distractions at set times or give your child the ability to control lights, a ceiling fan and more with the push of a button.
Add this to your system: The Nexia One Touch gives children and guests a way to remotely control lights or other automations.

As is the case with any quickly developing situation with serious health implications, the emergence of swine flu has been ushered into public consciousness with equal parts fear, misunderstanding and misinformation.
Swine flu (which has been officially christened novel H1N1 or 2009 H1N1 flu) caught health officials off-guard as much as it did the public. In the early days and weeks of the virus, it seemed to spread faster than solid information about it did. It was easy to be confused by the sometimes contradictory reports -- we heard that it was something to be very alarmed about, yet few people who caught the virus were seriously affected by it.
Also, no one was able to say for certain how this virus came to infect humans in the first place. Not helping matters was its somewhat unfortunate name. What better way, after all, to prevent swine flu than to avoid pigs and pork products? It sounds reasonable, but many myths do.
Read on to learn the truth behind five myths about swine flu, starting with a closer look at that pulled pork sandwich you've been avoiding lately.
You Can Catch It from Eating Pork
Some myths have murky beginnings, while others are of a more obvious origin. So it is with the belief that you can catch swine flu by eating contaminated pork. In the absence of any other information, it's a perfectly reasonable strategy to adopt.
Consider it a piece of bad luck for the pork industry that, when first studied, scientists discovered proteins in the flu virus that were also found in a flu virus commonly spread between pigs. Continued research would discover the virus also had a protein found in bird flu, as well as human flu. But right out of the gate, the new virus was identified as "swine flu." It didn't help that the virus was discovered in a rural part of Mexico, near a pig-fattening facility. (For the record, pig farmers have known about swine flu for years, and inoculate their pigs to prevent them from catching it.)
As soon as the new virus was called "swine flu," the pork industry took a hit. Pork prices fell, as well as prices for grain and other sources of pig feed. Egyptian authorities ordered a massive culling of pigs, causing an uproar among Egyptian pig farmers.
Swine flu isn't spread through the eating of pork, unless a human who has swine flu has sneezed on your ham sandwich. And even if it could be spread by eating pork, the influenza doesn't survive contact with cooking temperatures (160 degrees Fahrenheit, or 71 degrees Celsius).
Name aside, swine flu passes from one person to another, just like normal flu.
I Don't Need a Mask/I Do Need a Mask
It's not unusual to see someone in the course of your public outings wearing what looks to be a surgical mask. It's enough to make you wonder if you missed an important announcement.
Most face masks you see in public are due to major respiratory issues or a deficiency in the immune system that puts the wearer at great risk of viral infection even in normal situations.
If you do contract swine flu, you should wear a flu mask if you're traveling or putting yourself in close proximity to others. If you don't have swine flu and are caring for someone who does, you may want to wear a mask -- but you need to be sure to dispose of the mask immediately after leaving his or her proximity. If you wear the same mask repeatedly or touch it with your hands, you may be more likely to get yourself infected than if you hadn't worn any mask at all.
Wearing a mask is a good idea if you work in a hospital or primary care center and make contact with patients who have flu symptoms. You may also want to wear a mask if you are going to a waiting room in a hospital or public health clinic, depending on the spread of the swine flu strain in your community.
Using a face mask isn't a failsafe against catching swine flu. And, after a while, masks get uncomfortable. Your best bet overall is to wash your hands frequently and avoiding touching your eyes, mouth or nose.
Swine Flu is a Lab-engineered Virus
Why would a shadowy quasi-governmental cabal of world industrialists engineer a deadly and highly contagious virus, you may wonder. Well, for any number of reasons. What better way to shut down the American-Mexican border than by releasing a highly contagious virus somewhere on the other side of that border? Or, perhaps it's just to thin out the world population, thereby allowing the survivors to divvy up the remaining resources. Maybe your long-neglected swine flu research center needs to drum up some funding for a new office espresso machine.
Some believe the genetic makeup of the virus is so peculiar that it must have been made in a lab. Adding fuel to the Internet-conspiracy fire, a retired virologist in Australia -- Adrian J. Gibbs -- announced his belief that swine flu was a laboratory accident after Gibbs studied publicly available gene sequencing information on the virus.
If this was swept under the rug or ignored, Gibbs' claims may be reason for sustained suspicion about the origins of swine flu. However, the World Health Organization (WHO) took the claim seriously and sought analysis of Gibbs' claims from many different scientists, experts and related agencies. WHO concluded that swine flu is in fact a natural mutation and wasn't created in a laboratory.
The mixing of RNA strands from different viruses is rare, but it happens, and a mix of human, swine and bird flu viruses have reassorted into a single strain before without any human tampering [source: Brown].
It's Not Worth All the Hype
We've been through the SARS hype, the bird flu panic, and now swine flu? Much ado about nothing, right?
You couldn't be blamed for thinking so. Swine flu caused fewer deaths in 2009 than the common flu virus did. It has a low mortality rate, most people didn't catch it, and most of those who did experienced only mild flu symptoms before recovering. So what's with all the hype and alarm swirling the swine flu?
On the one hand, the WHO has given its full attention to the swine flu, labeling it a pandemic in June 2009. However, its spreading appearance around the globe has been somewhat anticlimactic, given all the official concern.
In this age of nonstop news and information, pundits, producers and publishers need something to fill up any voids in the 24-hour news cycle. However, the media for the most part is simply quoting their sources, and these sources -- chiefly the CDC and WHO -- are informing them that there is something for people to be concerned about.
The worst-case scenario is a bad one: The virus will mutate, become more contagious and more resistant to drugs and kill millions of people around the world. Another, more plausible scenario is that it doesn't mutate, but still infects a large percentage of people around the world, killing many, especially those in high-risk categories. Nobody knows, but the risk is real. Hope for the best, but be prepared for the rest.
Let's Swine-flu Party Like It's 2009
Since the outbreak of swine flu in spring 2009, "swine flu parties" have appeared. Though not specifically for children, swine flu parties operate on the same principle as the "chicken pox party": The idea is for attendees to become infected with a mild strain of swine flu in order to build resistance against a possibly more dangerous version of the strain down the road.
The CDC doesn't recommend doing this. Here's why: Although most people who have contracted the swine flu have had relatively mild symptoms and recovered quickly, others have had very severe cases and some people have died. It's impossible to know how the swine flu will affect you.
Contracting the swine flu now won't necessarily protect you against a genetic variation of the strain. And while you may fortunately bounce right back after willfully contracting swine flu, you could pass it along to someone who isn't so fortunate, or so willful in their desire to contract it. So, in an attempt to protect yourself against a future unknown, you may just get yourself -- or others -- extremely sick from a current known threat to your health. Your best defense isn't a strong offense when it comes to swine flu, so don't go charging head-first into it. Your safest play is to avoid it altogether, so clear your social calendar of any upcoming swine flu parties.

All problems have answers and one of the fastest ways to find those answers is by a miracle healing prayer request miracle healing prayers. Maybe we don't know the process of miracle healing, but certainly, someone whose prayers are answered by God is a person who lives in simplicity and is always grateful. Maybe, you also need to know the benefits of a simple life so that your prayers are answered quickly and you are grateful for this life.
1. Accept life as it is
People who live simply are those who live as they are and don't invent what they don't have. The benefit of people who live modestly is to live in peace because they can accept whatever is the destiny of God. But they are not only resigned to the situation but also always try to improve the situation so that it becomes better.
Those who live modestly always evaluate themselves whether it is good or not and review the failure so that it can be repaired and not happen again in the future. This makes people who live a simple life in addition to accepting life as it is also always doing innovation constantly.
2. Always be grateful for what you have
Simple living is not only good for finances but also for mental needs. Those who live a simple life will be calmer because they do not have the desire to have something beyond their ability so that even in the mind there is nothing to burden. Therefore, they are always grateful for what is given by God Almighty and do not demand excessive.
By always being grateful, people will go deeper into what the meaning of life is so that they would prefer to share with others rather than living in luxury. They are always grateful to also be more focused on what they do so that the work will be better.
3. Don't overdo it on something
Another benefit of living a simple life is not having an excessive lifestyle. People who live simply always know which needs and wants. However, this does not mean that people who live modestly are stingy or do not see the quality. Those who live simply the opposite, they will tend to buy quality goods rather than having to buy a lot of quantity but low quality.
But they also have a mature financial plan, so money is not only spent on branded goods but if there are more money and the purpose to buy these items is certainly okay because they continue to prioritize their daily needs compared to buying goods that are not too important and needed. Therefore, if you want to live a simple life, you should also have good money planning.

TAMPA, Fla. -- Now that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2-2) are back from their bye week and Jameis Winston will be the starting quarterback going forward, here's a look at the defenses he'll be up against for the remaining 12 games of the season and possible ways to exploit them:
Atlanta Falcons (Oct. 14 and Dec. 30)
This beleaguered Falcons defense is really feeling the effects of no Keanu Neal, Deion Jones or Ricardo Allen. There have been a ton of missed tackles against the run and in the screen game. Defending the slot has been a major problem. This would have been a huge opportunity for tight end O.J. Howard, who's dealing with a sprained MCL, but the Bucs could still replicate that with Cameron Brate or Adam Humphries. It's also not a bad idea to run the ball on third down against the Falcons, as they're giving up 8.5 yards per rush and conversions on 85.7 percent of opponents' third-down runs. In the red zone, they've given up a league-leading 17 touchdowns (nine passing).
Cleveland Browns (Oct. 21)
Browns defensive coordinator Gregg Williams continues to be the league's most aggressive blitzer (nearly 40 percent of dropbacks). That's how the Browns have accumulated seven of their 14 sacks, freeing up pass-rushers such as Myles Garrett to make plays. Winston actually has excelled against the blitz -- from 2016-17, he has thrown 20 touchdowns against the blitz, second only to Atlanta's Matt Ryan. But Winston also threw eight interceptions against blitzes in that span.
Cincinnati Bengals (Oct. 28)
Pro Bowl defensive tackle Geno Atkins, who is tied for a league-leading 6.0 sacks through five weeks, will impact Winston's ability to step into his throws. Defensive end Carlos Dunlap (4.0 sacks) will also flush Winston from the pocket and affect his timing. This group does a great job batting down passes at the line of scrimmage. It would behoove the Bucs to get the screen game going here with Peyton Barber to slow that rush. The Bengals are most vulnerable on third down. The Falcons converted 11 of 15 third downs against the Bengals, and Cincinnati is giving up a 68.8 percent conversion rate on third-down rushes.
Carolina Panthers (Nov. 4 and Dec. 2)
The Panthers just gave up 31 points to the Giants and allowed 300-yard passing performances in back-to-back weeks by Eli Manning and Andy Dalton. Manning had most of his success when the Panthers used max-protection and fired off several quick passes. The Panthers' defensive line is struggling to win one-on-one matchups. Their secondary is also vulnerable, even with a rising star in James Bradberry and the addition of safety Eric Reid. When the Bucs' offense is clicking, Mike Evans and DeSean Jackson are tough to stop.
Washington Redskins (Nov. 11)
Prior to the Redskins' Week 5 game against the Saints, their defense surrendered just 13 explosive plays, the fewest in the league (the Bucs define "explosives" as rushing plays of 12 or more yards and pass plays of 16-plus yards). Against the Saints, they gave up seven, with a slew of coverage breakdowns and communication issues. Of note, it's a lot easier to bait anxious defenders when it's Alvin Kamara in the flat or Michael Thomas on shallow crossing routes, but the Bucs do have enough receiving weapons to replicate some of the Saints' high-low route concepts in a way that stretches the Redskins' defense vertically and horizontally. One thing that should be noted though -- the Redskins do a really nice job of defending throws from outside the pocket.
New York Giants (Nov. 18)
The Giants have struggled to contain Cam Newton, Blake Bortles, Deshaun Watson and Dak Prescott on the run. In fact, the Giants have given up 622 rushing yards to opposing quarterbacks, allowing 4.61 yards per rush, among the worst in the NFL. Winston has made more than a few highlight-worthy plays with his feet, either throwing on the move or tucking it and running it. If there's a team for offensive coordinator Todd Monken to use some zone-read against with Winston, it's this one.
San Francisco 49ers (Nov. 25)
Missed tackles have been an issue for the 49ers. Their young linebackers have shown susceptibility to biting on play-action. Both the San Diego Chargers and Kansas City Chiefs exploited this on one play -- faking a sweep to the outside with the offensive line and running back rolling to one direction and the quarterback hitting a slant to a wide-open receiver in the opposite direction. Their 12 red zone touchdowns allowed are third-most in the league.
New Orleans Saints (Dec. 9)
The Bucs had a ton of success utilizing play-action to freeze Saints defenders and buy time downfield for big throws in Week 1. But in Week 5 against the Redskins, the Saints showed they are very capable of pressuring the quarterback, and not just off the edge with Cameron Jordan, but with Alex Okafor, Marcus Davenport and inside with Sheldon Rankins. The Bucs had success throwing on first down, and that's something they can still exploit with proper protection and play design. Teams throwing on first down against the Saints this season are completing 78.9 percent of those passes -- the most in the NFL -- and they're getting a lot of cushion -- 13.03 yards per completion with 11.37 yards before first contact.
Baltimore Ravens (Dec. 16)
The Ravens boast the league's top third-down defense, giving up conversions just 28.8 percent of the time. They're an aggressive blitzing team. One area of vulnerability, though, is that they have given up a 60 percent completion percentage to quarterbacks throwing from outside the pocket. Andy Dalton had success utilizing play-action and misdirection, capitalizing on a very eager Ravens secondary.
Dallas Cowboys (Dec. 23)
Two years ago, the Cowboys' much-maligned pass rush wound up being a total nightmare for Winston in the fourth quarter. Despite an overtime loss in Week 5, the Cowboys looked particularly impressive at the goal line against Houston (the Cowboys allowed the Texans just one score in five drives when they had goal-to-go opportunities). They mostly play a single-high safety. The Bucs could use four verticals and wheel routes.

Folks went out in kayaks and sup boards this evening with a bunch of new members who participated in the Barrow & District Society for the Blind session a few weeks ago joining Coach Andy for trip around the docks on the 8 person SUP. Despite jumping up and down several times they all managed to stay on board. As usual a great time was had by all.

Art & design.
Explore creativity and what your imagination can do. Just like the layers found in a cake, students will create dynamic images by building up layers of different types of media: From paints, markers, and just about anything you can find and put on paper. The emphasis is on creativity, exploring with different media, techniques and building confidence.
This course takes students from drawing to sculpture and everything in between. Students explore interactions of 2D and 3D design, experiment with different techniques, and use mono prints, construction, drawing, and painting to create unique multi media works. This class focuses on the principles of composition (balance, shape, color, rhythm) and the process of design through making.
The Art & Design classes are an essential part of the curriculum of the middle school and IGCSE students of the DYP international school in Belgium. The school is located on the Kontichsesteenweg 40, 2630 Aartselaar. More information about the DYP internationals school:

Do your kids have Moosh-Moosh yet? If not, you need to get on the bandwagon. This year little guy had a field trip. Since the field trips are so far away the school lets the kids bring pillows with them. This is not something I knew about before hand I guess it was just common knowledge. I went to pick up little guy when they got back. I watched as kid after kid got off the bus with either their huge could hardly carry pillow. Yet some the smarter ones got off with their Moos-Moosh.
I was so excited when I saw this, I know my son would be so excited to go on his next field trip with his Moosh-Moosh. My little guy is autistic and stuff like a bus full of kids, the noises and everyone in one small place is a lot for him. The next field trip he went on he got to bring his friend. When he got off the bus the teacher said it was his best day yet. Every time it got too much for him, he snuggled up to his friend and it calmed him right down.
Moosh – Moosh are not just for autistic kids our whole family loves them. They have different sizes and different animals. With so many different ones one thing does not change they are all cuddly, soft and too cute for words.
My son takes them and makes a nest with them and hangs out in his nest. I on the other hand love to cuddle with my unicorns. Want even better news they also have sequins ones and they have sippers. Your family is going to love these cute cuddly friends this year. Head here to find out more about your new best friends.
We got these as part of our Unicorn Gift Guide coming this June. We were not obligated to do a full review, but we loved them too much not too.

Look at that trippy animation~
I just wanted to drop a note thanking Solar for releasing Solar Gamsung on tape (yes, I was one of the lucky ones to get it on first order), because that pushed me to clean up the cassette deck I had at home (yes, I'm the old person who still has a cassette player on hand).
Honestly, I thought my deck was busted, I remember testing it a while back and it stopped working. Today, I cleaned it up with alcohol; and though the automatic open/close is faulty as heck and the rewind/fwd doesn't always work, it plays stuff. And today I listened to my dad's voice in years. So thank you, Solar-ssi, for making me cry tonight.
My dad used to have a Karaoke bar in the 90s, and ever the music fan and Karaoke-owner, he liked to sing and record himself singing. LOL So now I have 42min. of him singing an array of 14 songs. He was, obviously, a very VERY big Miguel Bose fan. Though, honestly, I had never heard my dad singing (the Spanish version of) I Will Follow You xD Now I've finally transferred his tapes on mp3 to keep :) added him to my iTunes library, album cover and all~
Los Doltons' version of El Ultimo Beso will always be a good memory of him.
I haven't been like this for like, maybe, a decade. Okay, maybe a little bit less if it's not just music.
I had so much fun watching Moosical last night, and though I'm waiting for the Bluray release, I might keep the DVD if the BR release doesn't match the current packaging for Mamamoo goods RBW has going so far. I also had so much fun overnight listening to the usual MMM streams we don't get to attend. Thank you, Tale~
So Chan Whee (소찬휘)'s Tears, Love Battery (사랑의 배터리) AND Bingeul Bingeul [1]? I was in heaven already before I got to listen to Recipe LIVE. Blessed.
And a complete version of Sleep in the Car (잠이라도 자즤)? Geez, I need RBW to release that ASAP. You've spoiled me rotten.
We are also currently giving away two copies of Purple for two fans across the Americas (except Canada and the US, HA!).
I think there might have been an extra coma on the YT subs, that I may have put on my screencap, but whatever.
Feelings. Feelings were had. Maybe not the song as a whole, I still think World Without Tears (沒有眼淚的世界) [LV] is much more interesting musically, but the music video for Dearest (親愛的) [MV] by Chen Hung-i (陈宏一) totally sells it. I cried so much, I've been crying quite easy these past couple of days. Hwasa made me cry with her short version of Lee Moon Se's (이문세) Whistle (휘파람). Then this, and now Leehom.
Dearest, you will forever be Baba's baby.
A kiss on your cheek, so you sleep well through the night.
Dearest, no matter how long the road,
my love will be with you because
you are forever my Dearest.
I don't know what is it about Laika, but Kubo was the second Laika film that I enjoyed the Spanish Latino dubbing more than the original English track. Not that the original Boxtrolls dialog lacked anything, but the Spanish Latino is funnier to me. When re-watching on Bluray, I would choose the dubs over the original audios in both. In Kubo, it had a lot more to do with the fact that Charlize Theron's voice as the mother and Monkey spoiled the bit of the story, which I suppose was a huge reveal.
With dubbed voices, the identity of the voice is a lot foggier, so it comes as a greater surprise (unless the dubbing had chosen a recognizable voice to sell the project).
I was eagerly waiting for Kubo to open in Japan (just like I watched Los Fantasmas de Goya in Castillian Spanish xDDDD), and since it was taking so long, I was wondering if it was ever going to be released there since Laika hasn't been making much money there and Boxtrolls didn't even open.
I was super disappointed when the first trailer for KUBO クボ 二本の弦の秘密 dropped, but it was subtitled. LOL It's about three weeks to opening date on Nov.18, and this first clip of the dubbing came out. It features Pierre Taki in McConaughey's place (the Bettle), alongside Rina Kawaei in Mara's role of the Sisters, Akiko Yajima (whom I think is doing the voice of Kubo xD), Atsuko Tanaka (as, I suppose, Monkey), and Michio Hazama (as, I suppose, the Moon King).
Laika could totally release a collector's edition with this audio track included.

There is still room for diplomacy to avert war in the Arabian Gulf
Jul 23,2019 - Last updated at Jul 23,2019
The security situation in the Arabian Gulf is spiralling out of control following Iran's seizure on Friday of a British-flagged oil tanker in the Gulf of Oman, ordering it to change course into Iranian waters and impounding it at Bandar Abbas Port. Tehran's tit-for-tat action was based on a lame excuse that the ship had violated maritime rules. The abduction of the tanker came two weeks after the British navy seized an Iranian oil tanker off the waters of Gibraltar, apparently at the request of the US, for violating sanctions against Syria. Tehran denied the allegations and called on London to free the ship immediately. That is yet to happen.
These incidents follow a series of events in the Arabian Gulf that have pushed tensions between the US and Iran to unprecedented levels. But they also put the British government in a tricky position. Outgoing Prime Minister Theresa May can ill afford to escalate the situation, embarrassing as it is, when she is preparing to hand over the reins of power to a new leader. The first order of business for the new prime minister, Boris Johnson, will be to defuse the crisis. The British government has received moral support from its European allies, who underscored the need to de-escalate and protect freedom of navigation in the Gulf. But it is unlikely that its EU partners will go any further than that — for now.
Enforcing sanctions and freezing Iranian assets in Britain will likely be seen as delivering a fatal blow to the already teetering 2015 international nuclear deal with Iran, the JCPOA. That agreement has been in trouble since President Donald Trump abandoned it more than a year ago and reimposed tough economic sanctions on Tehran. The EU has vowed to preserve the deal but failed to find ways to ease sanctions. In return, Iran has taken steps to violate segments of the agreement, primarily raising the level of uranium enrichment.
Meanwhile, the US is beefing up its military presence in the Gulf, all while Washington and Tehran insist that they are not seeking military confrontation. But the crisis has reached a stage where one more incident, intentional or not, may bring one about. The stakes are high for Gulf countries and international players alike.
One country in particular that would like to see military action against Iran take place is Israel. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been calling on the US and the West to step up action against Tehran. A mysterious drone attack on a pro-Iranian militia base north of Baghdad on Friday appears to have targeted Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) missile storage facilities. The US was quick to issue a statement saying that coalition forces were not involved in the attack, raising questions about the identity of the attacker. Israel has carried numerous strikes against Iranian bases in Syria over the past years.
So far, the US had repeated that it was not seeking regime change in Iran and that it was open to unconditional negotiations with Tehran. President Hassan Rouhani said last week that his country was open for dialogue provided that Washington lifted the biting sanctions on his country. And also last week Iran's Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif appeared to praise President Trump's decision not to retaliate for the downing of a US drone by Iran last month.
While in New York, Zarif reportedly had said that Tehran was willing to take "modest steps" in return for simultaneous lifting of sanctions. The US did not respond to his offer. But there were reports that Zarif did meet with US Senator Rand Paul who was allowed by the White House to enter into talks with the Iranian diplomat.
The Gulf crisis is quickly reaching a point of no return. Whether Britain and Iran will seek to de-escalate by agreeing to release each others' tankers is the most pressing issue now. Else both countries will find themselves pushed into a corner. What could complicate issues is the US proposal to form a naval coalition to guarantee freedom of navigation in the Gulf. The likeliness of a maritime showdown between the IRGC and coalition ships will rise dramatically.
The US decision to pull out of the nuclear deal has polarised the West and its regional allies. Sanctions are hurting Iran and are pushing the radical IRGC to take matters into its own hands. The deal itself appears to be on the brink of collapse. And while tensions in the Gulf are rising there is still room for diplomatic intervention, but both sides must relent and find common grounds. This cannot happen without the US clarifying its immediate goals and what it hopes to achieve in the short-term.
Absence of a diplomatic breakthrough will push the region into a dark tunnel, one that could lead to an eruption of all-out hostilities. Meanwhile, Britain finds itself stuck in the eye of an unpredictable storm.
