DEADLY SHOOTING IN HOUSTON.. PEOPLE DEAD AND MANY INJURED

Nazi emblems were found among the "personal effects" of the man who was killed in Houston Monday after wounding nine people in a mass shooting, according to the head of the police homicide division.

Capt. D.W. Ready said the shooter was dressed in some kind of military uniform and had Nazi emblems with him and at his house.

However, Ready would not speculate on whether the Nazi insignia would help establish a motive. He said the emblems may have been collector's items. At the shooter's home, police found vintage military equipment and paraphernalia dating back to the Civil War.

"At this point we are very open-minded as to the motive," said acting Chief  Martha Montalvo.

She described the shooter as a lawyer who had "issues" at his law office.

Zika Virus Worst Hit Country

The number of locally-transmitted Zika virus cases in Singapore jumped to 242 over the weekend, with most cases linked to the existing cluster in the city-state's east, the Ministry of Health (MOH) and the National Environment Agency (NEA) said.

Singapore added 91 new Zika cases since Friday, of which 83 cases were connected to the Aljunied Crescent, Sims Drive, Kallang Way and Paya Lebar Way areas.

A pest control worker fumigates the grounds of a apartment block in Aljunied on September 3, 2016 in Singapore. Ulet Ifansasti A pest control worker fumigates the grounds of a apartment block in Aljunied on September 3, 2016 in Singapore.

There might also be a potential new cluster of infections in the Joo Seng Road area, where two cases have been confirmed, the government agencies said.

Another cluster of infections had also been confirmed in the Bedok North Avenue Three area, according to a Saturday statement.

Control of the Aedes mosquito population remained the primary solution to stem the spread of Zika, according to a joint MOH-NEA statement released on Sunday.

The National Public Health Laboratory and A*Star's Bioinformatics Institute released research at the weekend that showed Singapore's Zika infections were likely from an Asian strain of the virus that was already circulating in Southeast Asia, and not from a strain imported from South America.

Several countries, including the U.S., the U.K. and Australia, have issued travel advisories warning pregnant women to avoid nonessential travel to the Asian city-state. 

Zika, which hit several South American countries hard, is mostly transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes but can also be spread through sexual transmission. 

There is currently no treatment or vaccine to prevent Zika infection, which causes symptoms including a mild fever, rash, red eyes, joint pain and a headache. While symptoms of the virus are generally mild, Zika poses a significant threat to pregnant women as it has been linked to a birth defect known as microcephaly in unborn fetuses.

An August World Health Organization study also found that the Zika virus could be linked to the Guillain-Barre syndrome, an autoimmune disorder that affects the peripheral nervous system.

New Zika Outbreak Hits Popular Tourist Destination Of .Singapore

Australia and Taiwan are also urging their citizens to be careful.

The United States joined a growing list of countries with travel advisories for Singapore, after the number of confirmed cases of the Zika virus in the city-state rose to 82 on Tuesday. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) raised the country's advisory level to Level 2 of 3, an alert that recommends practicing "enhanced precautions," and advised pregnant women not to travel to Singapore, due to the virus’s links with the birth defect microcephaly.

Australia, Taiwan, and South Korea all have issued travel advisories for Singapore as well, as it becomes clear that some local Zika transmission is occurring outside of the original cluster in the Aljunied neighborhood in the southeast of the city, where the first 56 cases were confirmed earlier this week, according to the Financial Times.

Meanwhile, Singapore’s Ministry of Health (MOH) and Clinical Advisory Group (CAG) said in a joint statement that it advises pregnant women who show potential symptoms, including fever, rash, red eyes, or joint pain, to take a free Zika test, “regardless of whether they have been to Zika-affected areas.” The statement also recommends pregnant women in the country “undertake strict precautions against mosquito bites,” and “practice safe sex,” as the virus can be sexually transmitted. Singapore’s National Environment Agency has been eradicating mosquito breeding grounds across the city since the news broke. Reuters reports that most of the early infections came from foreign workers, the majority of whom are employed in the country’s construction sector. Singaporean authorities have not revealed where the workers were from.

THOUGH THEY HAVEN’T ISSUED TRAVEL ADVISORIES, NEIGHBORING COUNTRIES MALAYSIA AND INDONESIA HAVE INSTITUTED PROTECTIVE MEASURES AT AIRPORTS AND BORDER CHECKPOINTS, INCLUDING THERMAL SCANNERS THAT CAN DETECT WHEN SOMEONE HAS A FEVER. EVERY YEAR, MORE THAN 55 MILLION PEOPLE PASS THROUGH SINGAPORE’S CHANGI INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT, A POPULAR TRANSIT HUB FOR ONGOING TRAVEL THROUGHOUT ASIA. SINGAPORE’S TOURISM BOARD TOLD REUTERS IT WAS TOO EARLY TO DECLARE ANY IMPACT ON THE SECTOR—IN 2014, THE MOST RECENT YEAR WITH AVAILABLE GOVERNMENT DATA, SINGAPORE WELCOMED SOME 15.1 MILLION TOURISTS. WHILE THE WORST ZIKA OUTBREAKS HAVE OCCURRED IN LATIN AMERICA AND THE CARIBBEAN, ISOLATED INSTANCES OF LOCAL TRANSMISSION HAVE ALSO BEEN OBSERVED IN VIETNAM AND INDONESIA. SINGAPORE, HOWEVER, IS THE FIRST ASIAN COUNTRY TO HAVE TRANSMISSION AT THIS MAGNITUDE, REFLECTED IN ITS INCLUSION ON THE AUSTRALIAN DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH’S LIST OF “HIGH RISK” COUNTRIES.

New Zika Outbreak Hits Popular Tourist Destination Of Miami Beach

"We believe we have a new area where local transmissions are occurring in Miami Beach," Florida Gov. Rick Scott said Friday about the Zika situation in the state. Alan Diaz/AP hide caption

"We believe we have a new area where local transmissions are occurring in Miami Beach," Florida Gov. Rick Scott said Friday about the Zika situation in the state.

Alan Diaz/AP

Mosquitoes have begun spreading the Zika virus in a second part of Miami — the popular tourist destination of Miami Beach — Florida officials announced Friday.

As a result, the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention expanded its advice to travelers, advising pregnant women to avoid the parts of Miami Beach where the virus is spreading. In addition, women and men who have traveled to the area should wait at least eight weeks to try to get pregnant even if they didn't catch Zika during their visit.

The agency also went a step further, advising pregnant women and their sexual partners "who are concerned about potential Zika virus exposure" that they "may also consider postponing nonessential travel to all parts of Miami-Dade county."

That decision to issue a warning about the entire city was prompted by the agency's concern that there may be other outbreaks in other parts of Miami-Dade that haven't been identified yet, CDC Director Thomas Frieden told reporters during a briefing.

"What we are doing is stepping back and saying, 'There have now been multiple instances of local transmission,' " Frieden said. "We will always err on providing more information to the public."

Five Zika cases have been linked to the new outbreak in Miami Beach, involving three men and two women from Miami, New York, Texas and Taiwan, officials said. That brings the total number of Zika cases that have been spread by mosquitoes in Florida to 36.

"We believe we have a new area where local transmissions are occurring in Miami Beach," Gov. Rick Scott told reporters at a news conference.

Officials believe the virus is only spreading in a 1 1/2 mile part of Miami Beach, but that area includes the much-visited South Beach area, Scott said.

The tourism industry in Florida is particularly concerned with the spread of Zika and the impact it may have on businesses. On Thursday, Scott announced measures designed to limit Zika, including offering mosquito spraying free of charge to businesses in Miami-Dade County.

"Tourism is a driving force of Florida's economy and this industry has the full support of our state in the fight against the Zika virus," Scott said in a statement.

The new outbreak comes as officials believe they are bringing the first outbreak in the trendy Wynwood neighborhood under control. Officials announced Friday they had cleared three new blocks of Wynwood because there is "no continued evidence of transmission" there. Fourteen blocks had been cleared earlier.

But Frieden noted that officials expect it will be harder to contain the outbreak in Miami beach for several reasons. The area's high-rise buildings mean the aerial spraying that has been working in Wynwood won't work in Miami Beach. In addition, it will be more difficult to convince people to wear long sleeves and pants in a part of the city where people go to spend time on the beach, he said.

The Wynwood outbreak prompted the CDC to take the unprecedented step of advising pregnant women to stay away from the area. It was the first time the CDC had ever advised people to avoid any part of the continental United States because of an infectious disease.

In response to the Miami Beach outbreak, Scott said he had requested an additional 5,000 Zika tests, additional lab personnel to expedite testing and 10,000 more Zika prevention kits for pregnant women.

Separately, Puerto Rico is reporting a surge in Zika cases. The island's health department said Friday that 2,496 more cases had been confirmed in Puerto Rico over the last week. That marks the highest weekly tally since the virus was first detected on the island in December. The health department also announced the first death in Puerto Rico from Guillain-Barre syndrome linked to Zika.

The latest cases bring the total number of laboratory confirmed Zika cases in Puerto Rico to 13,186. Of those, 1,106 are pregnant women.

A Record 5.6 Magnitude Earthquake Shakes Oklahoma and the Midwest

It was the strongest one to ever hit the state.

A record-tying earthquake in the edge of Oklahoma’s key energy-producing areas rattled the Midwest from Nebraska to North Texas on Saturday and likely will focus fresh new attention to the practice of disposing oil and gas field wastewater deep underground.

The United States Geological Survey said a 5.6 magnitude earthquake happened at 7:02 a.m. Saturday in north-central Oklahoma, on the fringe of an area where regulators had stepped in to limit wastewater disposal. That temblor matches a November 2011 quake in the same region.

People in Kansas City and St. Louis, Missouri; Fayetteville, Arkansas; Des Moines, Iowa; and Norman, Oklahoma, all reported feeling the earthquake. Dallas TV station WFAA tweeted that the quake shook their studios, too

Pawnee County Emergency Management Director Mark Randell said no buildings collapsed in Pawnee, a town of 2,200 about 9 miles southeast of the epicenter, and there were no injuries, either.

“We’ve got buildings cracked,” Randell said. “Most of it’s brick and mortar, old buildings from the early 1900s.”

L.A. Is Mandating Thousands of Earthquake Retrofits for Old Buildings

The office of Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin tweeted that state highway crews were checking for bridge damage and the state Department of Emergency Management would assess damage and determine how to address it. Geologists say damage is not likely in earthquakes below magnitude 4.0; no major damage was immediately reported Saturday.

An increase in magnitude 3.0 or greater earthquakes in Oklahoma has been linked to underground disposal of wastewater from oil and natural gas production. State regulators have asked producers to reduce wastewater disposal volumes in earthquake-prone regions of the state. Some parts of Oklahoma now match northern California for the nation’s most shake-prone, and one Oklahoma region has a 1 in 8 chance of a damaging quake in 2016, with other parts closer to 1 in 20.

Matt Skinner, the spokesman of the Oklahoma Corporation Commission, which regulates the energy industry, said members of the panel’s seismicity team were at work and would provide more details “as available.”

The area where the quake was centered saw a magnitude 3.2 temblor earlier this week and is on the edge of a region covered by a “regional earthquake response plan” issued in March by the state Corporation Commission, whose goal was the cut the number of earthquakes by reducing wastewater injection volume by 40% from 2014 levels.

Oklahoma was late in imposing volume limits in its effort to reduce earthquakes, taking a different approach than Kansas after both states had an uptick in quakes in the first half of this decade. Kansas moved quickly to limit volume while Oklahoma concentrated on the depth of the disposal. Kansas saw a 60% drop while the frequency of quakes in Oklahoma continued to climb.

Sean Weide in Omaha, Nebraska, told the AP that he’d never been in an earthquake before and thought he was getting dizzy. Weide said he and one of his daughters “heard the building start creaking” and said it “was surreal.”

Associated Press writers Kelly P. Kissel in Little Rock, Arkansas, and Erica Hunzinger in Chicago contributed to this report.

CHEAPEST TRAVEL DESTINATIONS AVAILABLE FOR BUDGET TRAVELERS

Travelling is one of the most rewarding things anyone could undertake, there’s so much to learn and enjoy when one travels. But there are a few things one must think about before packing that bag and for most persons, cost is always number one among those factors.Aside traditional travel expenses like cheap flights and accommodation, there are a lot of hidden-in-travel costs like intercity transportation, cost per meal, refreshments, data and even calls which have to be put into consideration.

Popular travel destinations like Paris, London, Rome or New York present several unexpected costs typical of big cities and for a traveler on a budget such destinations might be completely out of your budget. However, there are several places which are as enjoyable as or even more enjoyable than any of the popular holiday destinations, giving you much more for less. Some of these travel destinations include:

1.    CAMBODIA

You can get book a hostel here for $4 and spend less than $20 every day. This country is a favorite for backpackers and yearlong travelers. If you are coming from the US, the flight might be a bit expensive but with cheap food and accommodation and lots of free places to visit and things to do, it’s well worth it.

2.    NEPAL

Nepal is probably the cheapest place to travel to on this earth right now. Excluding flight and visa expenditures, travelling and transportation around this beautiful city can be as cheap as $250/month.

With a largely unexplored terrain and internationally renowned mountain treks, ancient temples, jungle exploration atop elephants, rafting, world glass paragliding, meditation and yoga. No matter what whets your appetite you are sure to have your fill in the Himalayas.

3.    COLOMBIA

Colombia is a country prime for exploration and it has an endless array of sights, excursions and natural exploration around you. Budget accommodations start from $10, even in major cities like Bogota and Cartagena (if you avoid the tourist traps). English is rarely spoken here so you have to brush up on your Spanish. 

4.    BOLIVIA

Known for its cheap accommodations and tasty, inexpensive food, Bolivia rightly earns its spots on this list. Also, Bolivia is filled with beautiful natural things to see from the Salar de Uyuni salt flats, to the Lake Titicaca plus historic cities like La Paz where fees into its four major museums cost a grand total of 58 cents.

5.    PRAGUE

Europe is generally not cheap if you are looking to travel but if you are looking for a relatively cheap destination, Prague is your best bet. Hostels come as cheap as $12 a night and bear is cheaper than water. Plenty of activity can be had for free and is an incredibly beautiful city to explore.

6.    TANZANIA

Tanzania has probably one of the most plenteous and diverse animal life anywhere in the world and has an extremely beautiful tropical scenery. The friendly family hospitality that is unique to Tanzania society is a bonus. There is a lot to explore in Tanzania- from trekking to jungle safari. It is an ultimate destination for budget travelers and adventure seekers.

I have no doubt  that once you visit any of these places, you will recommend these locations to somebody.. Watch out for articles on this subject because there is more to come.

Please your comments will be very helpful . Drop a comment or a list of other location that you want us to research and make available to our readers.

ZIKA VIRUS SAFEGUARD TIPS

The Zika virus is a concern for physicians and their patients right now, and with good reason,This virus can spread from mother to fetus during pregnancy and cause severe birth defects.

“Mother and babies are more vulnerable to infections so it’s critical that we work very closely with each individual family to understand their specific risk and potential exposure so we are better able to care for them.”

Experts advises expectant mothers to review the following guidelines issued by the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta:

1=  Avoid travel to Zika zones. If you’re pregnant or considering becoming pregnant, avoid travel to areas with active Zika virus transmission. Pregnant women who do travel to one of these areas should talk to their health-care provider first and strictly follow steps to avoid mosquito bites during their trip.

2=  Prevent mosquito bites. The best way to prevent Zika is to prevent a mosquito bite by following these recommendations:

3= Use an Environmental Protection Agency-registered insect repellent.

4= Follow product directions and reapply as directed.

5= If using sunscreen, apply sunscreen first and insect repellent second. Using an insect repellent is safe for pregnant women and nursing mothers.

6= Cover exposed skin by wearing long-sleeved shirts, long pants, and hats.

7= Avoid woody and bushy areas with high grass, brush, leaves and standing water.

8= Practice Save Sex . Zika can be passed through sex, even if the person does not have symptoms at the time. Only about 1 in 5 people with Zika virus will get symptoms of illness so people may not know they are infected. Couples with a partner who lives in or has traveled to an area with Zika should take steps to protect during sex. Pregnant women should discuss their male partner’s potential exposures to mosquitoes and history of Zika-like illness with their health-care provider.

There is no vaccine or medication to prevent or treat Zika virus infection. The CDC is now recommending that all pregnant women be assessed for possible Zika virus exposure during each prenatal care visit.

If you’re pregnant or trying to become pregnant, talk to your health-care provider.

Courtey of Dr Ambrose, IL.

Note:Kindly contribute to this awareness with other ways to safeguard against the Zika Virus..Thank you!!!!

How To Protect Yourself And Your Personal Information As Tourist.

How to protect yourself and your personal information as Tourist. 
Of course, there many ways to protect yourself and your personal information and the list can be endless. Here are a few safety measures to protect yourself and your personal information

Inform your Bank :  You should always inform your bank about your traveling plans,location and duration. This enable your bank to Geo-tracking of your transactions and help you avoid any fraudulent activities on your account

Checkbook : Don't carry a checkbook. Pay by cash or credit card. Debit cards carry a lot of hidden dangers, so if you have one, be aware of those risks

Avoid Public Wi-fi : Be cautious of free public Wi-Fi. Scammers can easily steal your information when you're using an unsecured network

Pay at the pump : Skimmers aren't the only danger to your wallet. The gas station will put a big hold on your account, typically for 4 days, that could cause your checks to bounce. If you must pay with debit at gas station, go inside and pay at the cashier.

Pay Travel booking Credit Card : If you have concerns about the solvency of a company you're buying future travel from, you're better off using a credit card. This holds true . Paying with credit card ensures you can do a charge-back if you don't get the travel you paid for.

Avoid Independent ATMs : You run the risk of skimmers. While skimmers can be found on bank ATMs, they're less likely because there are often security cameras in place.

Kindly contribute to the list in the comment box..

Must Have Vacation Items

Traveling / Vacation  can be very fun and memorable if well planned .However , it  can turn out to be horrible if you forget some important items . Below a few of *MUST HAVE * Vacation items...

Cash - In cash or in other forms ( credit cards, Debt cards, traveler check etc

Umbrella – Don’t get caught in the rain. Even if the forecast looks nice, you never know when there will be a pop-up shower or thunderstorm.

Phone charger - You may get a replacement easily but it is not free. Why spend extra money ? When you could have easily come along with your own phone Charger?

Laptop power cord – A must-have item if you’re bringing your computer along for the trip.

Prescriptions – Bring enough medication for your entire stay (plus a day or two) to avoid wasting time and money getting prescriptions refilled.

Sunglasses - You probably won't have trouble finding a new pair of sunglasses, but you may be paying a tourist  price for them. Can be very expensive

Bathing suit - A swimsuit is so easy to forget, even if you've spent months trying to fit back into it.

Belt - You might decide to skip a belt at the airport in order to breeze through security, but remember to pack one in your suitcase.

Sleeping wears : Very important to feel home away from home

Personal hygiene products - One time I was stuck paying $3.99 for a trial size of mousse. Avoid resort prices at all costs.

First Aid Kit - It's better to be safe than sorry. Always carry  First Aid Kits

A means of Identification : Passport or driver’s license

Passport : Number one item if your vacation requires that you fly in an Airplane

Reading materials - There are plenty of books and magazines at the airport, but consider borrowing something from your local library for free.This help the time fly rea quick.. However, In some cases you forget to even open a book if the fun is so much...Lol!!

Painkiller - You never know when a headache will come on.

Hand Sanitizer - You'll feel a lot better about the coughing and sneezing passengers on the plane if you take this with you.

GPS Tracking Device : A trafficking device is a very useful device when its call to duty..

Snacks – Stash some snacks in your carry-on so you don’t get overcharged at the airport.

Although, list goes on and on !!!. It is, however, a good reminder to make a packing list for vacation before you travel. Nobody wants to spend the beginning of their  vacation shopping for things they already have at home. Being organized ahead of time is the first step to having a great stay. So, make that  list, double check it  and  a very pleasant trip!

Kindly comment on item(s) you forgot to park on any of your trips..

Dangerous Places For Vacation

The world keep growing smaller and despite that, the dangerous places are growing bigger..In other not to bore you will fears or too much  worries. Here are some of the most dangerous places for a vacation

Tegucigalpa, Honduras

Honduras is an incredibly popular tourist destination. It is steeped in ancient history, as well as being one of the most beautiful places in the world in terms of natural sights and vistas. You could, quite literally, get lost in its amazing natural wonders and it has far more charm than many other South American countries. However, it is a very dangerous place at the same time, particularly in terms of health and crime especially in the capital city of Tegucigalpa.

Since 2010, Honduras has had one of the highest murder rates in the world. The National Violence Observatory (NVO), an academic research institution based out of Honduras’ National Public University, reported a murder rate of 86.5 per 100,000 people in 2011, 85.5 per 100,000 people in 2012, and 79 murders per 100,000 people for 2013. The government reported that the rate had fallen to 66.4 per 100,000 as of December 31, 2014. Most of Honduras’ major cities (Tegucigalpa, San Pedro Sula, La Ceiba, and others), as well as several Honduran “departments” (a geographic designation similar to U.S. states) have homicide rates higher than the national average for 2014.
“Diseases like Dengue Fever and malaria are commonplace here. There is a seriously high level of crime . Honduras also has one of the highest murder rates in any nation in the world.”,..Medical care is limited. Emergency services, even in Tegucigalpa, are basic at best. Although many physicians are trained in the U.S., their staff and equipment are generally not up to U.S. standards.

Ciudad Juarez,
Mexico  said to be the most dangerous city to visit in terms of crime. Juarez makes appearances on Wonders World’s list of the Top 5 Most Dangerous Cities in the World, it’s mentioned in AOL Travel’s list of most dangerous honeymoons, and it places sixth on Urban Titan’s ranking of the 10 Most Dangerous Cities in the World. The U.S. Department of State reports that three times as many people have been murdered there than in any other Mexican city; in 2009, more than half of the deaths in Mexico, which were reported to the U.S. Embassy, took place in either Juarez or Tijuana.”

However, this is not to say that you should not visit Juarez, and it certainly is worth a trip. Just 20 miles away from El Paso, Texas, it is actually too good an opportunity to miss for a nice day out. However, it is very important to not have any open displays of wealth. Furthermore, people should only use ATM machines in commercial establishments. The chance of another machine being set up to steal your identity is substantial. Tourist should try as much as possible to start in public areas. Avoid remote locations and stick together....

Guatemala City

Guatemala itself is a very beautiful and popular tourist destination. Located  on the Caribbean side of Central America, awesome weather alone is enough to attract thousands of people a year and for good reason. There  many awesome facilities, beautiful resorts, stunning beaches and more. Unfortunately, the capital of the country, Guatemala City, should be avoided at all costs.

“It’s a nation that is plagued with drug violence. It has a high murder rate and other common crimes include street robberies, bus holdups and carjackings. It’s advisable if visiting Guatemala to remain in safer regions and avoid Guatemala City.”

With many of these destinations, the biggest danger is getting caught up in drug violence on the street. In addition, many opportunistic crimes also occur in these locations, with identity theft in particular being on the rise. As a consumer, it is vital, therefore, that you take all the necessary precautions to avoid becoming a victim of some of those crimes. At the same time, it is very  important that you  have excellent travel insurance in place, and identity protection precautions. Other than that, regular travelers’ common sense must prevail. Strolling through darkened alleys in the middle of the night should never be something you attempt to do, no matter where in the world you are. And if you do go to any of these destinations, remember to enjoy yourself as well.
