Passenger from New Delhi diagnosed with swine flu; toll hits 45Passenger from New Delhi diagnosed with swine flu; toll hits 45
Mohammed Rasooldeen | Arab News
RIYADH: Six more cases of swine flu were identified in the Kingdom in the past 24 hours, bringing the total number of reported cases to 45, the Ministry of Health announced yesterday.
Five of the six new cases are people who contracted the virus from patients in various hospitals in Riyadh, while the sixth case is a 25-year-old Saudi man who arrived from New Delhi yesterday.
Khaled Al-Mirghalani, spokesman for the Ministry of Health, told Arab News that the Saudi man, who arrived at Jeddah’s King Abdulaziz International Airport aboard Saudi Arabian Airlines Flight SV763, was diagnosed with swine flu by quarantine officials at the arrival lounge.
“This is the first time we have found a case in a passenger coming from India,” he said, adding that the volume of passenger traffic between the Kingdom and India is huge.
“We are now monitoring all arriving passengers from all corners of the world,” the spokesman said, adding that his ministry has been taking maximum precautions to prevent the disease from entering the Kingdom through these passengers. “On the other hand, we rely on right thinking people to report any suspected infection to the ministry to help us in our efforts to combat the disease.”
He requested passengers who traveled aboard SV763 yesterday to monitor their health condition and any visible symptoms should be brought to the immediate notice of health officials.
The numbers to be contacted in the western provinces are 02-6640288 or 02-6640256. Lines are open between 8 a.m. and 11 p.m.
The new cases in Riyadh include two Filipino nurses aged 51 and 52, a 21-year-old Saudi man, and two Saudi girls aged six months and one year.
Al-Mirghalani said the ministry has shifted the venue of its workshop on swine flu from Riyadh to Jeddah due to logistic reasons. “It will now be held for three days from Sunday,” he said.
Experts attending the workshop will be taken on field trips to the Haj Terminal of King Abdulaziz International Airport and other places with huge concentration of pilgrims to get their ideas and suggestions in overcoming the current health crisis.
Al-Mirghalani said Health Minister Dr. Abdullah Al-Rabeeah, who is slated to inaugurate the workshop, is open to any constructive suggestions to combat the disease.

If your company is growing fast, you’re going to be changing many aspects of your web presence along with it. You may regularly need to tweak your disk space and bandwidth and experiment with using different applications to better serve your changing needs. On a shared host, upgrading in such a way usually involves leaping from one "package" or "plan" to another. These packages are generally preset and may or may not serve your immediate needs. They may be riddled with programs you don’t yet need, for example, yet lack in the one singular program you do. Or the next leap up from your current plan has way more disk space and bandwidth than you need at the moment.
The cheap web hosting plan can be enticing. Let's face it - none of us wants to pay more than necessary when we buy something, and this is particularly true of cheap web hosting services. After all, this is hardly the sexiest part of our website strategy and it's hard to get motivated by anything other than cost. So, our primary aim is all too often a cheap hosting package rather than a professional and stable solution.
But, as the old saying goes, you get what you pay for, and you can often lose out later if you cut costs here. The reality is that you'll have to spend more in the long run if your cheap hosting plan choice goes wrong. Don't worry - it is possible to find a reliable cheap hosting package. You just need to learn how to look behind the cheap web host bargain to check your choices before you buy.

Summer Splash!!!Summer na naman kaya masarap na mag beach. Naaya kami ng mga kaibigan last friday sa isang private beach resort dito sa ksa. Matagal na rin kami rito pero hindi ko alam na mayroon din palang mga ganitong lugar dito na feeling mo wala ka sa saudi. Sarap din minsan ng nasa public place ka pero di mo suot yung abaya na malaking istorbo talaga sa pagkilos.
Medyo wrong timing nga lang yung outing namin dahil biglang umulan....hehehe. Napakadalang ng ulan dito sa saudi at natyempo pa sa swimming namin kaya medyo malamig. Super nag enjoy ang mga bata lalo si Josh dahil last swimming nila ay noong last summer vacation pa sa pilipinas.
Maganda yung place dahil may 3 swimming pool para sa mga ayaw sa dagat. May heater din ang mga pool kaya kahit malamig enjoy mga kids. May place din sa tabing-dagat na pwedeng pagtayuan ng picnic tent. Entrance fee is sr50/person (Php600)...hhmm...medyo mahal kumpara sa pinas pero worth naman sa saya at kahit sa sandaling pakiramdam na wala ka sa saudi.

Bangui Wind Mills.jpg)

Not the whole part of our electricity comes from gasoline. In fact, they might be generated from strong-surging waterfalls cascading through the sharp, jagged rocks. But in Bangui, Ilocos Norte's case, part of their electricity is supplied in electromechanical processes in the form of giant -and I do mean giant- windmills.
No, not just one nor two. But fifteen. Yeah, you got that right. Fifteen gigantic wind-propelled machines supplying the whole town's electric need. Take a look for yourself and have your own opinion on their ingenuity.

The Philippines prides itself upon its wonderful tourist hotspots. So, what exactly does tourist spot, in the Philippines, mean? The following statements from me are based from my own experience, since we had recently gone on a road trip involving some of our country's most beautiful landmarks. One of those is Pagudpud.
Located in the northernmost part of the Pearl of the Orient, it might be hard to get to. But let me guarantee you, here and now, that it's all worth it once you arrive and feel the cool breeze and see the waves crashing into the shore.

Migratory Birds
The city government of Balanga is planning to build Wetland Center in an area covering three villages here, officially declared by the Department of Tourism as bird-watching sites. The villages of Puerto Rivas Ibaba, Sibacan and Tortugas here were declared by the Department of Tourism as bird-watching sites.
City Mayor Joet Garcia said that the Wetland Center will be a one-hectare area suited for educational viewing of wetland and migratory birds.
The city is home to rare birds endemic to the Philippines and an ideal stopover of migrating forest and water birds from Russia, China, Japan, Korea, Siberia, and as far as Canada.
Based on record, at least 35 species of birds were sighted in this city that included, among others, grey heron, black crowned night heron, whiskered tern, curlew sandpiper, purple heron, Chinese egret, Philippine duck, great egret, and common tern.
Garcia got the idea of establishing the Wetland Center in London last November during the launching of the DOT guide book on bird-watching sites in the Philippines led by DOT Secretary Ace Durano.
Balanga City is one of the thirteen bird-watching sites in the country being promoted by the DOT.
Garcia said the Wetland Center will help in educating the people about wetland and migratory birds. He added educating the people is an important step in involving them in protecting birds.
The city government of Balanga will also build facilities like viewing decks at the bird-watching areas here to lure tourists and bird watchers.

Gift CardsI used to buy gifts for my relatives during Christmas holiday. As much as possible I want to do the shopping personally. But this time, my very hectic schedule won’t allow me to do so. I thought of buying online too but the hassle of delivery makes me have second thought.
Then, I thought of these gift cards from gift card mall. I find it practical just to send gift certificates instead of bulky gifts. Aside from it is hassle free on luggage. I know my nieces and nephews would be glad to receive something different this time. They can make their own decision in choosing all the things they want to buy.

House Warming
I received this invitation from a good friend. They’re having a house warming next week. At last, the house they’ve been waiting for is finally finished after six months. They have always dreamed of a house that they can finally call their own. They have been saving up for constructing this house for quite a long time.
They got an interior designer that takes care of decorating inside and out. From the bedroom furniture to dining, kitchen, dressing tables and bathroom accessories. As a way of fulfilling one of their goals in life, they wanted everything to be perfect. It really is different when you have your own interior designer to arrange furniture and what accessories better suit you. Your designer knows your preferences and uses it as a foundation to designing your home. So he knows what suits your taste.
The designer picked the perfect color for the wardrobes and the dressing room for the house. The color of the furniture isn’t boring at all. By the way, the furniture were all bought from a leading furniture dealer. They also constructed this room where it’s a study room and a mini-library all in one. The ambiance is relaxing and makes you feel that it’s really comfortable to settle in with a book. There’s this huge desk that’s just right for studying, writing and reading.
Another part that attracted my attention was their music room wherein they installed a home theater entertainment set. You don’t even have to go to the movie theater to watch a film because of the size of their tv screen. The speakers are all around the room so from any angle, you hear the sounds of the movie playing. My favorite part is the kitchen. It’s big and has a wide space for cooking. Even if you host a celebration and took the liberty of supplying food, there is still a lot of space to move in while cooking batches for a whole community.
The landscaping is bright and clean. From the garage to the terrace, it’s really good. There’s a small grotto at the corner of the garden and surrounded by flowering plants. There’s a mini-fountain beside the grotto that emits a wonderful light during nighttime.

bingohouseWhen I get tired, I just get on the computer and play online bingo. It relaxes me that even once in a day, I get to play free bingo on the internet. It’s like the real ones, too. Internet bingo has all the facilities you can get. When I’m bored, I burn off a little steam by playing internet bingo because before, I had to go to places far from home that host bingo games every weekend.
Now, any time of the day, week or month, I’m able to play bingo and enjoy myself even if I am in the middle of something.

Cooking is my passion. I wonder why other people say the kitchen is the least place they want in the house. I am proud when my kids say “Yummy! Tastes good! Terrific!” Their praises make me feel good and encourage to cook and try new more recipes.
This coming Christmas, my daughter is requesting for a new recipe. I started surfing the net to look for more Christmas recipes. How about Christmas cookie recipe? Pie? Fudge or cakes for desserts.
I already have a lot of Christmas recipes ready for this coming season. I am sure that they will love them the moment they taste my new found Christmas recipes.

Skip BinsThere are so many construction sites in our place wherein they don't use skip bin for their waste materials. Wherein there are skip bins that can be hired to collect a strain of waste including food, plastics, metal, furniture, woody and construction, garden and electronic waste.
There are companies who deliver these skip bins and collect them in time for your need. Our government is promoting this waste recycling materials which are still useful and environmental friendly.We just segregate garbage from biodegradable to non-biodegradable waste.
